  • Hi I have Lightroom 5.7.1 and try to make the panorama.  Photo/Edit in watch upward but somehow "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop" is grayed out.  How can I make it work?  How can I make panorama to 5.7.1?

    Hi I have Lightroom 5.7.1 and try to make the panorama.  Photo/Edit in watch upward but somehow "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop" is grayed out.  How can I make it work?  How can I make panorama to 5.7.1?  Can anyone help?

    Seriously Teddy5555, this isn't a problem with Lightroom.  If PhotoShop is not installed on your computer, then you cannot directly photos to edit in PhotoShop, nor can you merge to Panorama in PhotoShop.  If it is not installed, you must install it to make it work.

    6 LR and LR CC 2015 have the ability to merge with a Panorama in LR itself as shown below, but I don't remember if it was available in LR 5.

  • Cannot install the v18 Beta in Windows 8 due to restrictions of Windows Update.  How can I work around those?  Change the approach to update does not seem to help.

    HI - we are trying to install the beta version (18) on a Windows 8 machine for one of our customers.  But, the update of Windows does not allow that to happen.  We changed the approach of updating to do not have the automatic updates.  But that does not solve the problem.  Any help is appreciated!  I guess it's a pretty easy fix, but unfortunately I'm not Windows savvy these days.

    Thank you!

    Oh, it's not good advice.  Uninstall the last update to Flash will not remove Flash of the system, and it will leave you with a vulnerable version, the Senior Flash Player.  Install the player ActiveX for Win7 won't upgrade Flash Player component built into Internet Explorer, then the user will be still stuck with an outdated version and no beta version until they run windows update again.

    We distribute a beta version for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and over all because we do not have this distribution channel (it's the same reason that we do not have a beta of Chrome), and the binary of Win8 differ from those we publish for Windows 7.  There is no effective way to do at the moment.

    We talk to Microsoft to provide a mechanism for the distribution of beta versions and releases of extended support of Flash Player in Win8 + users, but these vehicles of distribution would have to come directly from Microsoft and we always talk just to this topic, so there is no solution in the short term.

    If you want to evaluate beta versions on Win8 + you look essentially NPAPI on Firefox or PPAPI on the opera.

    Yes, I got the dreaded no past WGA logo on a WIN xp PRO installation which is an authentic copy of HP (OEM). I tried ALL the usual suspects of MS to do accept and it simply won't. I get the message "the product could not be updated on your computer. This is perhaps due to technical difficulties or problems with network connectivity. Please contact Microsoft Support for further assistance. "I have and that's why I found myself here as usual because the site is for me simply a roundabout!

  • "The product key does not work with this edition of Windows 7", but I have not changed anything

    Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc.   I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.

    I saw that someone else had been advised to run MGADiag.exe so I've already did but am puzzled by the report.  And I'm worried, why me nice Acer desktop PC suddenly did that, when he had worked happily with normal updates etc.  The report shows a different product to the label of my PC key.

    Can someone help, please

    Thank you
