Why use Lightroom if you already have Photoshop??

Every time I plugged my camera into the computer it came rushing in to download all my images into whereever it was set to put them. I didn't like that as I had set Nikon Transfer to do that job. Several times the two programs fighting over the same camera messed up downloads. For this reason alone I got to hate Photo Shop Elements so much that I never used it. I'll stick with NX2 and Photopaint. That can be stopped by disabling the transfer agent. I think there's a Support note on that. If not, it's in the Support Forum. Thanks for all who have told me how (?) to do this. I have asked previously and nobody could give me an answer. Eric Stevens |

If one already owns Adobe Photoshop (in my case, CS3) what is the purpose to buying and using Lightroom? Doesn't PS do everything LR does? Can somebody with a clue help me out here as I seem to be completely clueless on this issue. TIA. Jack You know, It really would have been better to have posted your message to only one group. That way the plethora of replies wouldn't pollute two groups everyone reads anyway. The Agent newsreader shows replies from both groups, but when you read a reply in one group it marks it read in the other. You only see the replies in one group. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

I agree that it should be possible to disable it but - I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked - I never found how to disable it. If the camera appears as "mass storage" when connected, try: - plug in camera, - right click on matching drive in Explorer - Go to Properties/Autoplay tab - select "Pictures" and change behavior. If connected as "camera", "Digital still camera" or other picture device, the same may apply... or not (see if the camera shows up in the explorer). Software such as HijackThis! may also help locate the system configuration change which leads to this (like an autorun on some PE daemon). I myself always uses card readers, they are much faster anyway. -- Bertrand |

Learn to set follow ups to the 'correct' group. Those who consistently start x-posted messages to multiple groups a "Rita", now "Larry Thong", Annika, and the occasional flood of kook activity. -- john mcwilliams |

What if I decide I don't want to use LR, can I get my data out in a usable form? Can I import data from a web site? Say flickr... or my own, or another program? I would use it to import my web pages, clean that up & standardize, then export back to my web page and continue to keep those synched. I don't know, but I would expect the database structure to be proprietary, but perhaps someone from Adobe could answer your question about manipulating existing web pages. I did discover it uses a SQLite database which probably can be exported with a tool like this: http://www.sqlitemanager.org/ although I assume it would be risky trying to import that way presumably it would be possible to develop a plugin. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

I personally had no problem learning it once I mastered the basics of its interface. Maybe YOU can tell me then if LR can do local editing -- like removing a tin can, swapping heads, editing out a watermark... haven't got a convincing answer to that yet. If it can't do that, then I don't need it, and it won't be worth trying to learn it. bubba First of all, you shouldn't be wanting to edit out a watermark. Somebody put that there for a reason. That's like saying you want to use a scanner to scan dollar bills... :-) As to the other things, yes you can clone out tin cans, but you can't swap heads with LR. The program isn't designed for those kinds of image altering things. |
