LIghtroom versus organizing------PSE versus CS5
I need a little help. I built a website for family and friends to view some of our family photos and videos. I used SlideShowPro Director to manage the photo albums on the site (best $59 I think I spent up to now). They have a plug-in for Lightroom to manage albums and download content automatically. Right now I am manually load on the site but which is not a big deal, if I add to an album or editing photos, it would be nice to have this flow right up.
I currently have PSE10 and PRE10 as well as the Organizer. I also have a new digital camera to come which is 18mp, but it's not really a problem for me here, and at this stage. I am now told by sales (I should have done better research forward, but not a big loss, and my son can use the package of items if I go this way) is that PSE10 supports 8-megapixel pictures so if I bring something bigger in they will be scaled down. In addition, that Lightroom works seamlessly with CS5, but not with the Organizer.
I am also told that catalogue the organizer and Albums cannot be worn over LR. I have 12,000 files it contains now and many I have assigned faces, much more then an album, and keywords. So if I went with LR to manage site albums I have to build the LR catalog from scratch. Although it seems, I can just drag - drop my files inside.
Then someone can put a bit of truth to this or clear up any misinformation? I would go with LR now and use it with my PSE and PRE10 I currently and upward to CS5 when necessary. I don't mind the initial pain to build my LR catalog if I have LR work with PRE and PSE. And 8mp can't PSE10 larger scale to the bottom of the photos?
Thank you very much

If it is of any value to anyone here you go. I downloaded the demo and ran a bunch of tests and it is where I am at:
- Lightroom is absolutely compatible with the application of PS elements. You can right click on an image and choose EDIT WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS. Fact.
- You can IMPORT Organizer items catalog to start. (Update: a caveat - it currently only supported through catalogs of PSE9.) I hope an update soon)
- It is much more powerful then organizing elements, but for most of my organizing needs would have been fine. But LR has blown me away.
- I downloaded and installed the plugin for SlideShowPro Director. It took about 10 minutes to install, configure and actually download an album from LR on my site and will automatically appear in the gallery in PHC. You can also change much configuration, SSP and either display that individual albums on one or more pages, or you can drop the gallery A with any number of Albums in there on a page.
- You can add music to it and it has an automatic (but Basic) pan and scan feature.
- SSP wrote HTML or PHP code for you and you just slide on a Web page and attach a hyperlink and done.
When I thought of trying to do this the other day, and even when I woke up this morning I had no idea how I was going to do. Now, the pieces are all in place and work. Not for nothing, but it is also 1000 times faster, especially in the download on photoshop.com (sorry, but the download CSP process is painful).
The hardest part was a SSP link to my database of the host (Network Solutions). But their tools and Wizard were fairly easy to pass through without support.

Perpetual license of Lightroom versus CC version
Hi, at the moment I use the perpetual license of Lightroom 6.1.1. I think to join in the composition of the creative cloud to access Lightroom and Photoshop. I was wondering if I join the creative cloud what I need to uninstall Lightroom and install the CC version? Also, if I decide in a year or so to cancel my membership I lose my perpetual license of Lightroom? I lose access to Photoshop? Thank you Jacques

Lightroom versus printer manages color
I have a monitor profile, and yet I find that I get prints that are a LOT closer to what my monitor returns when I let the printer (Epson 3880) handle color management when I left LR handle. Yes, I turned off "Printer manages color" in the printer controls. I tried color perceptual and relative and noticed no real difference. Also tried printing from Photoshop which produced prints that were farther away from what was displayed on the monitor. I use bright exhibition luster paper and what seems to me to be the right profile (BrillLusterEP3880PK). Overall, the prints have a magenta cast during the use of the profile and appear more neutral when you use "Printer manages color."
Any ideas?
In fact I think that the problem is in the profile provided by bright. The best impression from a distance (nearest what it on the screen) was produced with Epson paper using the supplied Epson profile. I know others like third party documents, but stay within "the family" seems to have its benefits.

Download lightroom 3 &; bad language to CS5
After almost 2 years for free laptop, I got a new PC. When I bought CS5 and Lightroom 3 (the two 64 bit) in 2011, I don't have the disks. As a courtesy, Adobe sent CS5 discs because of some type of error with the version I bought. Because I don't have a disk for Lightroom 3, how can I download it?
CS5 Extended 64-bit disk they sent has a number of different series in my account. I did not open the box until tonight, so I didn't know until I compared the. I entered my account here page number, but it says invalid. The serial number of the work area. The boxed version is Canadian French (I'm American). It will be a problem?
Edit: I was able to uninstall the drive and reinstall through links here for CS5 Extended. However, I can't find links for installation of Lightroom.
Thank you!

5.5 Lightroom may 'link' with Photoshop CS5?
I use Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 and need to open the RAW of Sony ARW files.
At a presentation last night and expertise gave a lecture on his Mac on Lightroom and how RAW files can be imported.
He showed how Lightroom differs from Camera Raw and convinced me that I need Lightroom.
Lightroom is a great companion to Photoshop CS5. It will give you the last Camera Raw features. Lightroom will create a PSD file or SENT to Photoshop so that you can use all the tools of Photoshop, that you are used to. When you have finished working in Photoshop, this file will be saved and added to your Lightroom Catalog. I think you'd be very happy with the workflow.
Camera Raw using Photoshop CS5 is more ancient than the raw editing capabilities of Lightroom 5. Camera Raw is used to convert the image when it transfers from Lightroom to Photoshop. Because your version of Camera Raw won't have all the features that Lightroom, he wouldn't be able to convert precisely the image during the transfer. The solution is simply to allow Lightroom create TIF or PSD file before opening in Photoshop, rather than at the end of the session of Photoshop. The process works very well, and many users use this workflow.

I need Lightroom if I Photoshop cs5
Hello!
I am new to adobe photoshop and I'm currently learning how to use it. I've been rearching for awhile now but am still confused if I need Lightroom as well as photoshop cs5. Thank you!!
Lightroom will do what you want, I suggest d/loading of the 30 day trial and import this picture to see what you can do. All work in Lr are non-destructive. Before you start I recommend watching some of the videos on AdobeTV to see what you can do and when to do it.
I use Lr 95% of the time now instead of PS and I'm well organized with filing and research. Something that wasn't so easy before.

I'm using CS5 Design Standard Edition version.
Now, I thought to use Lightroom in addition and acquire.
I read that Lightroom works with Camera Raw in Version 8.
Camera Raw in version 8 cannot be applied to the CS 5. But I won't update my CS5.
What can I do now? Should I use an earlier version of Lightroom? Proposed solutions would be reuqested and much appreciated.
Hi Christian,
You can have 5 Lightroom installed next to the CS5, but the opening of RAW files in Photoshop from LR will be problematic.
You can work around this by choosing "Rendered using Lightroom" when you open it in Photoshop:

Lightroom 3 and CS5 color change when recording to JPEG
Desperately need help on this one...
In a nutshell if I use lightroom 3 only and print the images printed images are exactly the same on the screen - so I guess the calbration of the screen is correct.
If I use lightroom 3 and export to CS5 to continue to make adjustments more when I save the image in jpeg, it seems to have saved well. However if you then maximize the photo in full-screen colors change - radically. Basically, they look aweful. They become quite dull and lose it saturation settings (which were made originally in Lightroom). They print this much too.
It drives me crazy. I don't think that it has nothing to do with the calibration because it is OK when just using LR3.
I played with it quite a bit to try to find a solution and have found that if I export for CS5 and Lightroom makes no changes to the photos but just save - she always changes the colors
Sorry - if it makes a difference... may not, but I have not exported from lightroom for CS5.
Everything I do is select the right click, click on edit in the > Adobe Photoshop CS5.1...
Then in CS5 it opens and appears exactly the same as in LR
From there, I click on file > save under > Jpeg formats and there is an another labeled checked - ICC profile: Prophoto RGB (not really sure what it is and there is no other options to change)
I tried to show a difference in color by joining the photo.
Photo right is edited in Lightroom. These colors are what you see when it is maximized on screen and the colors print correctly too. This photo has been open and then in CS5 (photo left) (with LR adjustments) and saved as jpeg and you can see how to change the colors. But you do not see the change unless the screen is completely optimized - and she that prints a lot too.
I don't know what to do someone had similar problems?
Yes. Had something similar last night, but with LR 4.1. I suspect that we each have a color profile mismatch, although I had no time to solve my problem yet.
My first thought is that the native LR color space is Prophoto default, but PhotoShop must have its 'working color space' specified by the user. Unless Prophoto is specified in PS, there will be differences in color on a Prophoto image scale (sensitivity) of color-travel will vary from one image to the opening image.
To change the workspace in PS, pull down the Edit menu and select "color settings".
Don't forget to check the box to inform you and ask how you want to handle the inadequacy of the color profile.
As the previous poster said, prophoto is a bad choice for the use of the web. probbaly the most commonly used color space sRGB is relatively low
Good luck.

Vs Lightroom Photoshop elements Organizer
I do not know Lightroom, but a friend suggested as a solution to my problem, so here goes:
I have a subscription to CC (and have used some Creative Suite for years). I use CC to work, but for my personal photos, professional, I have always used Photoshop elements Organizer, because I've never found his equal - as the Organizer. Also, I invested a massive amount of effort in the marking of each photo (about 30 000 pictures, more than 10 years) with keywords.
I have no interest in the other features of Photoshop Elements'. I have CC for something else that PES done that I care to do.
However, I don't really want to keep shelling out for PES, given that I already pay (effectuι) about a zillion dollars to Adobe over the years for Creative Suite and now CC.
So here's the question: can I use Lightroom (or bridge, perhaps) as a substitute for organizing PSE? Both programs import the PSE Organizer catalogs? Because unless I can import what I have, no other organiser will do it for me.
I would consider also another product of the Organizer, if you could import catalogs PSE, but I hope that there is that a little gem of a program already in CC I'm not aware of that will do the trick.
TIA.
Lightroom upgrades PSE catalogs for use in Lightroom. Give it a try. See if you like it.

I have PS Elements 8 (Windows 7-64 bit) with 9000 catalogued photos. It is fabulous everything EXCEPT when I do a backup (file-> backup CD catalog) backup contains ONLY the catalog files, not the media files. Backup of my 27 GB of photos is so only 200 MB.
My multimedia files and my catalog files are both on the D: drive (2nd internal HD)... the Program files and Windows installed on C:. I tried grouped (all files are linked) and repair of the catalog (no problem found). The backup works fine with no error, it's just MUCH too small.
I tried the support of drive C:, D: drive and the DVD with exactly the same result.
I made a simple copy/paste of my complete file on an external drive, so I have not saved much. But I would use the built-in feature, so I transfer whole enchilada to my laptop without losing links (laptop doesn't have a disk D :).)
Anyone have any ideas why PSE refuses my backup media? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I must say that PSE 8.0 resembles a surprisingly low quality for Adobe product to ship. I have
I agree. See my review of the Amazon and the most complete list of bugs in PSE 8:

Adobe is clearly PSE as a milk cow, by investing very little effort in the Organzer and preferring to add some new features for marketing purposes rather than fix bugs that pending for years. Here is an interesting blog of Michael Slater, who led the development of the original Photoshop (later renamed to organizing PSE) Album. Michael provides a time frame on the decline in the quality of the Organzer:

I used to recommend the PSE Organizer to friends, but not more. I continue to contribute here to help others like me who have large, existing catalogues in PSE.
Lightroom is a better alternative for serious amateurs with large collections. Windows Live Photo Gallery is surprising good for more casual users, even those who have very large collections (better than iPhoto, in my opinion).

Is it possible to import a Photoshop Elements 3.0 version catalog in Photoshop Lightroom?
PSE 3 uses a different database to the current SQLite. Your version will host a Microsoft Access database, which is stored in a file called for example MyCatalog.psa.
You can download the trial version of PSE14 and try to convert your catalog to the current format during the installation. If successful, that should give you an optimized file named for example MyCatalog.pse14db. You can then import into Lightroom. See the link below for more information on the differences in catalog:
