Lightroom 3 Vs. Lightroom 3 Upgrade. Help! Also I saw that there is a Lightroom 3 (Upgrade) and its 95.99 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Upgrade - What i'd like to know what is the difference between the both of them and is it absolutely necessary/worth...

If you don't own an older version, then you have to buy the full version. When LR 4 comes out, you can upgrade at the lower price, but you have to start with a full version.

Just my opinion.. I think Lr and Ps are fancier and harder to learn, but better designed and handle metadata in a way compatible with other imaging handling applications. So they are more worth learning at the beginning, or you will find yourself, like me, tweaking all your PSE photo metadata when you decide you need that compatibility. As to the monthly payment business, I am getting by with the permanent, non-web version of Lr. (Note that this permanent version does support the much better photo publishing plug-ins as opposed to PSE's share facility which runs through another website, often doesn't work (for me) and doesn't readily support synchronization with the publishing website (e.g. Flickr) of comments from Flickr and photo updates from Lr. Lr is also willing to use my PSE photo editor so I can put off buying the full-up Photoshop editor. For my needs, that is presently quite sufficient and I don't foresee a compatibility blind alley, though I suppose I may be mistaken.

It is very similar to Lightroom & Photoshop. You can create layers, which in Lightroom you cannot. There are tools to remove just about anything. I found it very easy to use compared to Lightroom & Photoshop. However, the program's compatibility with Windows 7 Pro had fatal issues with me, therefore I just went Adobe. Adobe products ARE better than this, but if you aren't a professional, this program is a very good alternative, considering its price.

I called adobe yesterday on this. I want to upgrade from a CS upgrade. They said that will work fine. **EDIT: It worked, no problem. **

I am sorry, but I have no clue. It's very much like Light Room. But I will not use Aftershot anymore after my new computer I had to build has Windows 7 Prof. & it will mysteriously not work without locking up on it. Lightroom is far better. I bet Photoshop Essentials will do what you want & so far it's not subscription. Good luck.

Yes, I have The Adobe Photoshop "Lightroom5 book for digital photographers by Scott Kelby... the book breaks the software down and leads you through set up and use...

My box did not have a rebate coupon. Adobe now uses upgrade editions, requiring you to have the older license. The upgrade edition seems to be priced at ten dollars less than the price for the full edition and I don't see the upgrade edition listed YET on Amazon for sale and download. Perhaps it is coming in future. I suggest you write or call Customer Service and inquire.

Lightroom will be a faster program but there are some features that Paint Shop has that Lightroom doesn't. But that doesn't mean you should get Lightroom. Every working photographer should have Lightroom as one of their tools.

Please check with Adobe for the system requirements for the Photoshop version that you are planning to run and compare it with the specifications of this computer. Most versions run on this model without a problem, but there are some more advanced versions that might need a more powerful setup.

The 70 buck version is upgrade only. Course, down the road when your system crashes and you have to reinstall I wonder if they expect you to dig up the original version, install it, then install the upgrade over it? Strange, but yeah, the $70 dollar version is for if you already have some other version installed, I think as early as XP will work fine.

I've used Photoshop Pro and Elements through version 9, and in my opinion Elements 12 was the worst version I've ever used. After installing PhotoshopElements 12, the program didn't work the way my old version of Photoshop Elements 9 did. It's supposed to work with layers, but it doesn't. And the navigation is imprecise. I uninstalled it after testing it out, and Amazon was gracious enough to provide a refund on the downloaded software.

I have used my version with every program except Vista. I still love this program. I have used mine exclusively for old photos. This program probably would not suit someone who does professional photography.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/ It says that it is two editions thus implying two different versions. Sorry that nobody replied to this. Kind of rude isn't it?

Works for me [though W8 is a little strange from XP], I do a lot of foto editing almost daily. There are many tools that I haven't used [or used much] so glitches may still occur. I would say, if you have your computing power up, go with it.

If you can wait... then absolutely wait... till the next version comes out... I have purchased every version of elements and have noted that Adobe never patches their software.. they fix all the problems they find in the next version... Premiere 4 is buggy as all hell... read the comments it constantly crashes.. I suspect Premiere 7 will be far more stable otherwise why would they skip version 5 and 6 LOL. Photoshop elements 6 is far better than 5 but elements 4 was only slightly better than 3 (they added a poor quality UTUBE uploader that every one complained about and they never fixed). So you never know with Adobe the one thing for sure... if you want a more stable version of their software don't expect them to fix it for free... expect it in the next paid upgrade. The only thing you get when you click update is some new version of Adobe Acrobat reader... ??? Having said all that... these products are the best for their money in Windows environment.. hence the reason I keep upgrading with each version. Wish Final Cut would make it to the windows environment and give Adobe some real competition... by the way the new version of Adobe comes with the option of online back up of 20Gigs... come on Adobe.. with 10 meg cheap cameras that is no where near sufficient storage I have 50 gigs of photos alone not to mention my video files.

I can't imagine why not. When I bought myself a new computer I just got my Lightroom disk out and loaded it up onto my new computer. But if you want to find out for sure, go to the Adobe site and ask.
