Difference between lightroom and elements

Hello

I am a new photographer. I am looking to buy one of these software. I am wanting to know what the difference between photoshop elements 11 and lightroom 4? What is the best? That one is recommended most? If you could help me in choosing one to buy that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

PSE11 and LR4 have many features similar (and overlapping) and the same significant differences in time. The result is that many users find that they are complementary and work with both.

We will see different tasks:

-raw conversion: LR is the King, but PSE11 has a smaller version for 90% of your needs

-Organization: both use a sqlite database system. LR is supposed to be more powerful: I would say that it's a lot hotter with many useful options. The Organizer in elements offers a very useful command backup back up not only the catalogs, but also your media files.

-Editing: it's the originality and strength of LR: it offers "parametric" edition. You are not required to make copies of your edited files, save only the stages of change. Note that when you use RTAs in PSE11, the same is true.

However, even if the new version of LR offers local editing tools, it is not as powerful as PSE11 which has a lot of powerful tools such as masks and layers. For this reason alone, most users of LR also have another editor like Photoshop CS6 software, but very often, the PSE is the best Companion.

The main thing to understand is works in Lightroom. Note that the advantage of starting with PSE11 is that it can do all tasks and be the best companion in the future if you decide to go with Lightroom. LR can easily convert your PES catalogues, nothing will be lost.

For comparison of prices, also look at the policy of upgrade price especially if you think that you will get new cameras for shooting raw. You may need to upgrade to be able to use a new camera or simply to take advantage of new features in LR or PSE.

  • What is the difference between Lightroom and elements?

    I am trying to decide between Photoshop Elements and Lightroom - both a Mac. They seem to have very similar photo editing features. Could someone tell me the differences so that I can see that would be better for my work? A feature I must have is the ability to add text to a photo. In Photoshop, I can do this with the text tool and layers. Is also a feature of Lightroom?

    Adding text is possible, but limited in LR.

    Both applications have a 30 day trial period, and to describe the differences would take oars. In general, LR is designed for digital photographers, while the PS and PES have far more wide reach, but don't are not so honed in on new images, as is LR.

    On the other hand, tell us what and how much you shoot, what is your purpose, etc...

  • What is the difference between Bridge and Lightroom?  Should I have them both?

    What is the difference between Bridge and Lightroom?  Should I have them both?

    Hi MyYawrood,

    If you plan to expand your files only camera raw, then no, you don't need both. Camera Raw, which bridge lance when you select a raw in Bridge file has the same characteristics as Lightroom.

    That's where the similarity ends, however. Bridge is a file browser. You can organize and view the files on your hard drives connected. Bridge knows nothing about files that are not connected. Bridge can preview more Adobe files, regardless of the type of file and is a 'bridge' between applications. It will show also the icons for other types of files created in any application. Lightroom creates a database of a few image formats and knows about them, even if the disk they are on is in offline mode. It cannot handle most types of file formats, however. Lightroom has a robust for print production and publication Center. Bridge doesn't. Lightroom also has Mobile of Lightroom to make some fundamental changes to the photos on your phone or tablet. Bridge doesn't.

    So if you need both depends on what you do on your computer. I absolutely use Bridge / Camera Raw/Photoshop and Lightroom/Lightroom Mobile.

  • What is the difference between AXIEM and EMSIght? What are the benefits of AXIEM by EMSight if any?

    I wonder what are the differences between AXIEM and EMSight. Are associated with application? One is better than the other? Please explain.

    AWR estimated AXIEM most powerful plan EM Simulator around.   AXIEM is at the center of continuous research and improvement, while EMSight is only worked on if revealed serious flaws.  Here is a summary of the differences:

    Mesh

    • EMSight must mesh the nearest grid drivers using rectangles.  This causes the mesh to have more elements mesh when there are small and large geometries.  The grid should be small enough to capture the small geometry but then causes large geometries to mesh more.   In addition, angled or curved structures causes inefficiencies mesh.

    • AXIEM STS forms, rather than a grid.  In addition, the mesh can be rectangle or triangle.   This allows a much more efficient mesh.   AXIEM generally have a much more efficient

    • AXIEM contains the ability to process forms to clean geometries that cause inefficiencies of the mesh.  EMSight does not have this feature.

    • AXIEM can forms thick metal mesh, EMSight can not, and user must make approximations when thick metal will change coupling (loss is recorded properly with the thickness of the metal)

    Ports

    • The ports are for the most part similar, but parasites due on AXIEM ports are less.  In addition, the AXIEM has a side wall, thus the effects of not move of the terms of reference of the edge of the line are a lot less AXIEM in.

    • Ports can be added to most any place in geometry with AXIEM.  For EMSight, the ports are usually only added outside the geometry and have limitations to the aircraft on either side of the reference speaker.

    Problem solvers

    • EMSight does not have a low frequency Solver.  Stop low-frequency and then extrapolate to DC.  This usually works well, but you must take into account if the extrapolation is accurate.  AXIEM presents both a low and high frequency Solver so will do better in a low frequencies generally much better in DC.

    • Solver of EMSight scales O (n) ^ 2 for memory and O (n) ^ 3 for the moment.   It has a special algorithm to break the question of memory, but the question of time is the killer.  AXIEM has a direct Solver which scales in the same way and an iterative Solver which will scale O (nlogn).   In other words, AXIEM can solve a lot of bigger problems than EMSight.

    • Several AXIEM processes are multithreaded as EMSight.

    Speaker

    • EMSight is inside a perfect driver side wall.   This works well if you the circuit is in the same cavity.  If not, you must know the rules of them on to the forms of space of the flanks and how that much to extend the port could reference planes.   AXIEM is not here.   AXIEM does not currently have to simulate a perfect driver side wall.

    I don't know that I missed a few aspects of the tools.   From the point of view of the AWR that AXIEM is the tool of choice, except in a few cases have been EMSight may be required.

  • The difference between them and how they are used by the first?

    I'll buy Adobe CS5 Master Collection. I have a job that has Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have a Nvidia CX card that is installed. The Nvidia card came with fast HD. I will also receive a Matrox MXO2 mini for my junction box.

    My Question is what is the difference between - fast HD, elemental Accelerator, technology Max that you can get with the Matrox junction box, and all this will be of use to me or come into conflict with the Mercury playback engine. I don't think I'll buy the Max technology (no not necessary). But I'm confused on the other 3 being redundant or contradictory.

    Can someone please suggest another option for a junction box? Some companies do not support their products if you are using a Dell workstation.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

    RapiHD is the former name of the elemental accelerator. The EA is a PP plugin that uses your graphics card from nVidia (via CUDA, nVidia GPU programming structure) to speed up encoding h.264/AVC output files. The previous link in this thread is wrong, but here is a link to work for the elemental Accelerator. The product is pretty much dead end, so much that it will be not a CS5 version. There is a stand-alone version called lucky, but it requires you to use Adobe products to encode firstly your timeline to an uncompressed AVI file (or any other format), thus defeating the purpose.

    The Mercury playback engine uses CUDA to accelerate the effects, transitions and insight into the chronology PP. It accelerates only marginally encoding, or not at all. There are a lot of threads on this forum discuss the EMT.

    I have a Blackmagic Design card, so I can't tell you anything about the Matrox card and its software.

  • What is the difference between objects and units in coherence?

    What is the difference between objects and units in coherence?
    For example, < high-units >

    The units are the number of entries of data stored in the coherence of caches.
    The high-units element corresponds to the maximum number of 'units' (entered data, including units in order to backup, not even with objects) allowing to store in a particular JVM for a specific cache coherence. In addition, this number should be the same on all nodes (i.e. use the same cache on all nodes configuration file).
    The objects are the number of entries of data stored in cache coherence excluding the entries for other purposes (for example, backup).

    RE: To get Coherence to report object sizes you need to set the unit-caculator to binary.
    

    If you don caculator-unit set, consistency can use the default setting (set) to the report.

  • Difference between 'Reload' and "Reload (Override Cache)"?

    Https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_navigation, what is the difference between 'Reload' and "Reload (Override Cache)"? What makes "ignore cache"?

    Reloading Web pages and cache bypass aims to obtain a new copy of perhaps obsolete or damaged files currently stored in the disk cache.
    You can do it like the first attempt if a normal charging does not seem to provide a version of a Web site or if you are having problems with a Web site otherwise.

    We usually have advice that if you have questions:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if an extension or theme (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problems.

  • Qosmio X - 70A - difference between nVidia and driver Toshiba GPU

    Is there a difference between nvidia and one packed by toshiba display driver?
    I'm using the Toshiba but Geforce experience gives me a headache with warnings about a newer driver and toshiba does not appear to provide a.

    Of course there is a difference between the GPU nVidia drivers (or drivers provided by manufacturers of graphics cards) and the drivers provided by Toshiba.

    The Toshiba driver page GPU drivers are changed and made for the mobile use.
    Each laptop model supports various components (CPU, cooling, modules, etc.) and different design. That is why the heat dissipation is always different.

    The GPU driver provided by Toshiba supports a kind of GPU overheating protection and protects the graphics chip of the damage. This means that the GPU performance are controlled by the driver and in case the internal temperature would rise to critical level, it would decrease the performance of the GPU. Also the laptop stops automatically if the temperature is too high.
