Why should I use photoshop Lightroom?

Hello

I make pictures for a few years now, but I never really used Lightroom to edit my photos. What exactly are the benefits, if you compare it with... Picasa? MAGIX Photo Designer? Paint? GIMP? When is it useful for me to use Lightroom? I'm curious to hear your experiences with Lightroom!

  • Why should I use my Microsoft Account for everything I do?

    I just got a new laptop with Windows 8, it seems that everything I have done requires the activation of my account. I want to use Skype, I have to link it with my Microsoft account. I want to check my email, I link to my Microsoft account. I want to download a free app, I sign in with my Microsoft account.

    There is clearly no reason most of what a desire to datamine Microsoft and monopolize my computer activity. If you want to datamine it is one thing, but it is not a valid reason to inhibit the functionality of my laptop or the OS unless I connect using an entirely artificial account that is only used for data mining and I never used to need my Microsoft.
    Why should I have to validate my computer actions with my Microsoft account? What justification Microsoft gives to warn me using programs and applications preinstalled and free unless I have connect to my Microsoft account?

    Hello

    As well as the wonderful information provided by Khaled-Arya, please take a look at the following link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/user-accounts-FAQ#1TC=Windows-8

    You can choose one of the following two ways to connect:

    • With a Microsoft (an e-mail address and password) account. Signature with an e-mail address and password allows you to use your favorite applications and your unique settings and preferences on any PC.

    • With a local account. Signature with a local account (with or without password) allows you to use the files, settings, and applications on your local computer only.

  • Why should I use camera raw in bridge

    I have CS4 and would like to know do I need a special camera to get raw in bridge and when it what is different in the bridge using Photoshop?

    You will need a camera that can produce Raw files (see the manual of your camera for this) and you will also have the plugin Camera Raw correct for the type of device you are using. In short, when after having updated CS4 and not to have a new type of camera that just came out, you should be able to use these Raw files in CS4.

    ACR can be used in bridge and PS, they are the same but have a small difference in backup options active (default gateway 'Done') and default ch 'open image '. Best part so that you can use two processors simultaneously. then when you have several files processing in one you can start with settings on the other :-)

    There is a set much more to learn more about Raw, there is some good white papers, video tutorials, and a very good and easy to read book (Real World Camera Raw CS4, Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe).

  • Should I buy Photoshop & Lightroom CC package or the creative cloud together? for purposes of drawing

    I am a digital artist, and I don't know which product is the best for me.

    I'm basically a beginner, although I learned a few basics in GIMP.

    I use a Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch tablet.

    I am inspired by these artists:

    Nakanoart's DeviantArt Gallery

    AbigailLarson's DeviantArt Gallery

    JadeMere's DeviantArt Gallery

    HasaBattle's DeviantArt Gallery

    Among others.

    Do you think I could make similar art in Photoshop CC? Or if I have to buy Adobe Illustrator and finishes in the PS, a technique that I've heard.

    I could also put in place for the purchase of the stand-alone version of Photoshop CS6, because I heard some people say they've had the PS since before he started to sell on a subscription basis, and they have never felt the need to update.

    Help to all opinions. Thank you!

    Many artists who listed you use traditional media (pencil sketches, inking) to start a drawing/illustration, after which they then scan in their work and finish the digitally (colouring, for example).

    First and foremost: Learn how to draw. Learn the anatomy. Sketch on paper - nothing beats a few soft and hard pencils and sketching on a Notepad. Take it with you anywhere you go.

    With regard to the software: I find ClipStudio (Manga Studio) to have the best feeling/sketch in pencil of all the software that I have used so far, and I'm not the only one. I stopped using Photoshop for digital painting a couple of years, in favour of Clip Studio both Krita.

    Krita is free and beats the pants off of Photoshop for digital painting. It does really - no comparison. I'm not saying that Photoshop is bad (it is not), just not nearly as good that Krita is now, or Clip Studio for drawing. Combine Krita with ClipStudio and you are set.

  • Why should I use tiff?

    I started a new video work last fall and I work through old files from my predecessor project, and rather than simply record the assets of the AE's, in a project file, it did something that I cannot know everything and contains several elements of an animation imported to the AE as a tiff sequence. I've never worked with them before, and I'm unable to find the answers as to why he would have needed to do it, or why it is even recommended.

    Can someone lay the foundations for TIFF for me? When you create them, why you would use, etc.?

    Thank you.

    According your description, it seems that it has been made a few precomps or layers as a sequence of images rather than letting the computer on-line.

    This has the advantage of not having EI does not make this layer or precomp. If you have a very intense particle effect with hundreds of thousands of particles, and you know it won't change, it may help to get it so that the rest of your work can continue without having to make a new render these hundreds of thousands of particles every time.

    That answered what you were asking?

  • Debug vs out - why should I use one over the other

    Hi all

    I have always understood that in the preparation for the final release software and delivery that this should be done using the Release configuration. It's the way that other companies offer their software, so it just makes intuitive sense to me. However, I recently came across a project developed and published all of their modules in software using the build configuration Debug, and reasoning that gave me was that it makes debugging easier when troubleshooting problems after release. Now we intend to use this software for a new project, and I don't know that I am ready to support this reasoning. Beyond reason "because I said!", there are several reasons why I think this isn't a good idea:

    1. it is slower to run debugging code. but for what we use for (drivers and utilities for the most part) it is negligible.

    2. There is a potential for malfunctions due to debug code that results in errors or be out of date.

    3. There could be differences between the debug and release configurations (no not the least of which is the use of the _CVI_DEBUG_ macro to include the additional debugging code).

    4 if I remember correctly, to debug properly, the source code must also be available; and for me, this is a big fat no-no giant for a production environment.

    So, beyond reasons I quoted above, and assuming that they are all valid, can anyone provide additional reasons for or against this practice? Any comments would be extremely helpful! Thank you!

    -Jack

    Hello Jack,.

    It is indeed surprising that the company has decided to ship built in the debug configuration.

    Here are some more reasons other debug versions offering isn't a good practice:

    1. The Debug versions are slower due to lack of optimizations.

      1. The compiler tends to optimize the code in release builds, to make it more faster and perform better on specific platforms (it can also slightly obfuscate the code).
      2. The useless instructions or data are deleted in release builds.
    2. Less memory is used by the source code when running in release builds.
    3. The Debug versions may contain debug information stored in the executable/binary file itself. This debugging information is stores the data on the source code, the names of variables and others. This allows not only the code to run more slowly, but it also exposes internal information (this can probably still provide proprietary information to your users).
    4. Debug builds usually initialize variables and data with 0. This means that programmatic errors are usually hidden by the present.
    5. Debug builds are usually (much) bigger than the trade and slower versions.

    There are other alternatives to shipped debugging binary and perform diagnostics on them:

    1. Newspapers: The embedded application can produce newspapers in the special files/folders or the Windows event log. You can also ask your customers to allow facilities to record special in your application, if the problem can be reproduced consistently and provide the log output for you, for further analysis.
    2. Dumps can be analyzed using the same map files for release builds. Crash address usually refers to a location near a function entry point, you can track your mapping files. When you build your binary files in release configuration, the compiler can also generate the map files that you need.

    In addition, as ebalci said, you must make sure that test you your Release version carefully, before shipping.

    Kind regards

  • Why should I use silverlight to view Netflix movies?

    I wonder why I have to use Silverlight to play Netflix movies. When I opened Netflix and selected a movie to play in my Firefox browser a gray page open upward and the only option was to play the movie using Silverlight. I have a vague feeling that it is a requirement for Netflix as Netflix is in partnership with Silverlight, a Microsoft product and has a grip on what can be played with this addon. Why there is no alternative. I love the new Firefox, but we always wish for a bit more control of who does what on our machine.

    Respectfully,.
    Tom C.

    Netflix determines what program their films are to be used. Firefox has no control over it.

  • What is the purpose of VTEncoderXPCService and why should I use so much CPU?

    As you can see in the image as an attachment, it consumes about 300% of the power of my CPU:

    This causes in turn my MacBook Pro CPU to heat and speed up the rotation of the fan.

    What is the purpose of this process? Why is it so CPU intensive even if the Photos app is sitting idle in the background?

    Thank you.

    Why is it so CPU intensive even if the Photos app is sitting idle in the background?

    As you probably know, the conditioned XPCservices which can access the sandbox of a request and securely communicate with him. When you import new media or migrate a photo library, it will create thumbnails and previews of media in the library.  'S done it by background processes began to take photos. These will be run and is same photo is apparently inactive. After the importation of the new media, it is best to keep the pictures running overnight to get background processing as long as you don't need a mac for other tasks.

    VTEncoderXPCService and VTDeoderXPCService convert your videos. If one of them is hogging all processing power, this may mean that you have a lot of videos in your library requiring a conversion or one of your videos is damaged or uses a codec that cannot be treated by pictures. Have you recently to import new videos or migrate a library with videos?

    If a video cannot be treated, remove it from your photo library.  To find the culprit, try to read your videos into pictures.

  • Why should I use '-' instead of ' / ' in my Win7 command syntax?

    Documentation of Windows 7 and the help guides I've ever seen indicate that Windows 7 command syntax uses "/" to separate parameters, but if I get a command prompt of "shutdown /r /t 0" it doesn't. "

    With the help of "shutdown - r-t 0 ' fact.
    Why?  The "-" syntax comes from Windows XP and I'm on Win7 Professional and Premium on different computers, and both methods require the "-" syntax. "."

  • HI.i currently use photoshop lightroom 4 and downloaded books blurb with no problems but now whenever I try to open a session for the text of presentation thanks to lightroom to download the book a msge appears saying "could not cotact Blurb web service.p

    Hi I currently use lightroom 4 and have never had a problem downloading books photo to blurb.but now when I try a message pops up saying ' could not contact web blurb service.please check internet connection "my internet connection is fine.please can someone help me because I need to get the album made it's a wedding album and customers expect on it.many thanks Sean.

    Hello

    I got this problem sorted and it actually very easy. For some reason, the settings on the page of windows that I use on my laptop in contradiction with the text of presentation/lightroom download. All you have to do is to set up a new page of the windows user and configure it as an administrator. You will need to transfer all the photos of the lightroom on your current user page to the new, which can be annoying, but at least you will have hopefully in service yet. I hope this helps.

  • Why should I use is more "Favorites" since the last update of Firefox?

    I imported all my favorites of Internet explore when I started using Firefox. I click on "Favorites" and get a list full of every URL that I use a lot. After the last update, the list is no longer in effect. I rebooted the app and no joy. It still works if I quit firefox and use IE.

    PlainOldFavorites expansion, which presents your Windows/IE in Firefox Favorites, needs an update. The author has posted on the website of the Add-ons, but the modules team has not yet completed their review.
