I'm struggling with the decision to buy the desktop version of Lightroom or BCC me struggling with the decision to buy the desktop version of Lightroom or CC

I will soon buy a new computer and don't know if it will be a PC or a Mac. All my current photography software are PC. I use mainly Lightroom V. 5 point whatever for minor treatment but has discovered that a recent camera (Canon G3 X) camera raw acquisition format is not taken in charge by this version of LR 5 (least AFAIK). So now I'm debating upgrade 1) LR 6 (office) (which is crazy expensive (US $150) knowing that in a few months that I'll need to buy a new laptop (PC or MAC) so I have to decide now on this decision too or 2) subscribe to CC now and just finish. I'm honestly not picky about switching CC because it's just a LOT of things that I don't need. Synchronization with mobile devices etc far too many things that require a computer for this photographer's time. (Bring back film as I say)

In any case, a few questions for the community.

(1) if I switch to CC now and choose the PC version, can I change it later if I decide to buy a MAC and how many hoops and loops, I need to pass through this do (and no extra cost)?

(2) if I decide to buy the desktop version (PC) and the switch later to a MAC, you can switch OS within this license or do I need to buy the same version again for MAC OS?

(3) if I now choose Lightroom CC, decide I don't want to unsubscribe and then buy version 6 desktop, will still be able to retrieve/reading/access/on my computer a little matter, I have dealt on the version of cloud on the desktop version?

(4) I remember in the old days, if you have a version of Adobe software, when new versions were published, you paid only for a version upgrade ($ 99 I think when I upgraded from 4 to 5 in 2013), not the full price for a license. Is that still the case, and if so is the 'upgrade' cost US $ 150?

Thanks, any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated

Exhausted...

Thanks I will try that

  • Need help with the decision of the laptop

    I'm sorry for the length of this post, but I really need help. I am buying a laptop and what should be a very exciting perspective (my first laptop purchase) turns into a nightmare that had me pretty much in tears over the weekend.

    My budget is not big - absolute maximum of 600 pounds, but I'd rather spend a little less than that.

    I mainly work of office (Word, Excel, database and PowerPoint) and also some Photoshop work. I also play a strategy game called Caesar 3. I want to charge my copy of XP on the computer or replace Vista or as a partition.

    Looking through the available templates in my price range and rising benchmarks, I found the following:

    Most have processors such as the Intel T5250 or T5450 or AMD TL 58, which are all rated as ok, but not very well. Some have the AMD TL 60, which is a little better and one or two have the T7200 Intel which is even better.

    On most of the machines graphics cards are the ATI Radeon Xpress X 1200 or the Intel GMA X 3100. These two are calibrated as not terrible and the review says that they cannot manage strategy games. Some of the models have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 and HD 2400XT and one or two have the HD 2600.

    The problem is that the models that have the best processor have the lower rated graphics card and those who do not have XP drivers, I see.

    Don't mind a 15.4 screen "(although the 17.1" would be very nice to have) and want a pretty big hard drive (160 +). I get 2 GB of RAM.

    I'm at my wits end. I don't want to buy a computer that will eventually take a minute or more to refresh a screen when you have more than two things open, or you will have to keep rebooting to make it work. I want to be able to play my one and only (Caesar III) game which is a strategy game and I want to be able to work in Photoshop and maybe one or two other things open at the same time, as a website perhaps.

    Help me please, anyone. I asking the impossible? I can't get my hands on an email address for Toshiba try to get clarity on their part on the issue of drivers and they will be available in the future.

    Then there is of course the issue detailing as each stock only a limited number of models, and we must choose between those detailing.

    I hope someone can help me!

    Hello

    The problem is you want to buy a laptop all over the place but don t want to spend a lot of money.

    In addition, you want to change the XP operating system and have XP drivers.

    Well it's boyfriend very difficult decision ;)

    A laptop for gaming with the graphics power full card cost slightly more than £ 600
    If you need to make a decision; You want to buy a gaming laptop and to spend more than £ 600 or you will have a notebook that is ideal for everyday use, like watching DVDs, in collaboration with the office software, etc.

    The Caesar game is unknown to me, but I assume that it doesn t need a graphics card high performance and it should work on a normal phone too.

    I think that a Satellite a200 is not bad choice for you, because some A200 laptop computers were shipped with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.

    And very important is that all the XP drivers were already released ;)

    I have an ipod touch 128 GB... but I'm almost to reach its maximum.

    I want to do is buy a new ipod touch 128 GB and add new music without synchronizing the entire library to it... I have 2 ipods in conjunction with the other copies of the other.

    is this possible?

    What should I do?

    Matt

    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.

    (I asked for your post be moved to the iPod Touch forum, where you have posted is the iPad forum use.)

  • I use the iPhone plug plug in my truck pickups so I can give my harp. So, how am I supposed to deal with my harp now?  I'll buy a Samsung phone when my iPhone becomes outdate or dies. Thank you, Apple.  Did you really think come on it.

    I use the jack of the iPhone to connect an adapter on my truck pickups to grant my harp. So, how am I going to do without a grip. Thank you, Apple. Did you really think this through... I change phones again to Samsung.   PS / the iPad is not nearly as accurate as an iPhone for instruments of adjustment.

    The iPhone 7 comes with a lightning to adapter 3.5 mm audio jack.

    Everything that you connected before you can continue to connect, unless the decision is now external.

  • How can I buy an iPhone AT & T using the upgrade program and replace it with T-mobile?

    I intend to buy the iPhone, which will be released this morning, and I heard that the next iPhone will run out quickly, the configuration I wanted, as 6s and 6 s iPhone more runs so quickly, but this time, I want to start from the beginning because I don't want to miss a day of work, or otherwise I won't get it that $5000 per day , so if I don't have a number to AT & T, what do I do because I am on T-mobile, and I can't go to the Apple Store Friday on time to conduct a review of YouTube and get views and re-read soon on my site. I am currently on AT & T, but I heard that the iPhone is going to be better with the upgrade program, and I wanted to sign up. So, why do you need an AT & T number, and why should I go to the Apple Store if I want a T-mobile and last year, I had to wait until October 9 to get my 2nd iPhone 6 s more of Apple and a back of pre-orders unlocked without AppleCare.

    Nothing is still announced by Apple, but wait like everyone else.

  • Buy the show with another country

    Hello!

    First of all, thank you for taking the time to read about me.

    So, I live in the US and my parents live in Mexico; recently (this week) I've gifted them a TV series via iTunes.

    My mother has an iTunes account in the Mexico and she received the e-mail confirmation on the talented TV show really. However, for some reason, she isn't able to download the show I bought for them (human universe with Professor Brian Cox). My mother doesn't speak English, so she doesn't know what the e-mail she received. I may have it send me a screenshot of what said e-mail, so that I can translate then.

    My questions:

    1. is it possible to download/buy a TV series to the Mexico I've them good of the United States?

    2. can she download/share this TV using Apple TV series?

    Thank you!
