Adobe, LR 5.4 and Fuji

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 May 2014 17:16:03 GMT

I just wanted to say, after ranting a few times against Adobe.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! The color profiles for the Fuji cameras is AWESOME!!! I've spent several hours trying to replicate just a specific situation (more would've been even less possible), where the jpeg looked great but the raw didn't. I made like 10 different correction profiles and still wasn't satisfied. Now I just select the appropriate profile and it looks PERFECT!

THANKS AGAIN Adobe & Fuji for making this happen!!!!!

How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?

Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:

Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.

This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer: How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).

Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?

Is it possible to see the photo details (CMD+I for e.g. Aperture, ISO etc.) in fullscreen view?

When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 on Mac, how do I delete all selected photos?

When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the Filmstrip view, how do I delete all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to the right-click context-menu > remove selected photos)? Details: Using backspace asks me if I want to delete it, I choose from disk, but it just deletes individual photos, so if I have 3 selected, I need to do this 3 times.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308135?tstart=0 In Lightroom, are all videos supported if it's supported in Quicktime (maybe not all functions) like e.g. Flash videos (.flv) already work for me in Quicktime, Photoshop, etc. Details: I read the supported formats, but as I see, some also depend on Quicktime, so I'm wondering if it ignores e.g. .flv arbitrarily, even if it could support it.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308136?tstart=0 Can I create a Snapshot and replace that with an image (or linking another Photo as the current photo)? Details: I made adjustments in iPhoto till now, now I want my masters (unedited) JPEGs, few RAWs, create a snapshot and set the edited photo as the one to be kept. If it's not possible, any recommendations (besides the usual backup the masters and import the edits).

Photoshop Photography Program incorrect price?!

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:31:45 GMT

Hello, to start off positive, I'm VERY happy that Adobe decided to make such a Photoshop Photography Program

Now, the negative: I'm irritated because, as usual, per the statements before the release it said that the price will be 9.99 USD for EMEA non-EU countries. In Switzerland it costs 14.04 CHF (Swiss Francs) which means ca. 15.37 USD. Switzerland is an EMEA non-EU country. The same was stated on the Swiss Adobe site (9.99 USD). Swiss VAT is 8.00%.

So per my calculation 9.99 USD + 8% = 10.7892 USD which is 9.86 CHF.

9.86 CHF to 14.04 CHF, that means I would be paying nearly 50% more than was stated.

If this is not how it Adobe works then they should, from now on, write European Union (including Switzerland) and EMEA non-EU (except Switzerland).

Here the offer from both sites:
