See Post photos online using publish services and Create photo books. To export photos from Lightroom Classic CC to a computer, hard drive, or Flash drive, follow these basic steps:. Select photos from the Grid view or the Filmstrip. See Select photos in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. Then, click Choose and navigate to the Flash drive. Lightroom Classic CC has several presets to make it easier to export photos to disk in specific file formats. Time to update Lightroom, Adobe, that's what we pay subscriptions for.
Unfortunately Import only seems to run on a single core. Well, Intel will be happy that Adobe entices forces customers to still put money into CPUs with high single-core performance. Import is damn slow. I had no idea that was because of single core import limitations. Whatever the case, Adobe really need to update Lightroom. I am just trying the Auto Curate function on my whole library. It only uses 2 CPU cores and thus takes its time. Meanwhile I am testing various other photo management applications with face recognition, but most of those I tested yet only make use of a single CPU core during image analysis, too.
No indication how long it's going to take or how far it is into the process. You really only even know that it's busy, because clicking a second time on Auto Curate not marked yet pops up a windows that tells you so. Turns out that Elements only uses threads for face recognition. So no real advancement from Lightroom.
Why should they bother to update important features like that. They already have you on the hook and they don't really care to take all the time to make real changes to their applications. The only way to get Adobe to change is to leave them. Fortunately their arrogance has opened the field to a number of very nice alternatives. Look around and ask why you're paying monthly for this kind of "performance". I am looking around, but unfortunately none of the alternatives gets face recognition right. The best alternative remains to be Picasa, which is software that is not supported anymore but still works.
There are a growing number of catalog-free alternatives that can actually work on existing files without having to go through some laborious catalog building step first. I like the catalogue. But I am curious, which software recognizes faces and writes the face and person data directly into RAW files? Usually AutoContrast produces over-contrasty scenes, AutoColor unnatural colors and so on with few coincidal exceptions. And in the end I do it manually Adobe sees no point in fixing bugs in these programs - unless severe ones possibly. I took the time to report quite a few and my messages were ignored.
Obviously you have to buy the next version in order to maybe get a bug fix. I wonder if they still have the absurd mis-translations to German language in PE The moment had to be created. People were adjusting exposure post-hoc and completing other post-processing from the very early days of development. Sometimes, if there was no moment, you may have to create it from two "almost moments": Sounds like a good idea to me. This feature is mainly aimed at family and group photos. Then a pair of closed eyes might be the difference between failure and success.
A portrait photographer cannot really sell a group photo where one has closed eyes. That is a bit more devious, or maybe fun? I'm still on both Elements and Lightroom. Prefer the editing of Lightroom, but for organizing and tagging, still not found a way to beat Elements. I wish the organization between the two could come together somehow Downloaded a trial version today I thought Adobe would but the latest Camera Raw plug-ins in their latest product.
I can see the draw of returning to film. I enjoy taking the best photo I can without editing. If only film was more affordable to develop Classic use for "open eyes" occurred recently when taking a photo of my wife and her old school friend where I took eight shots. All were perfect for my Canon PowerShot A apart from the eyes on phones or friend's husband's camera!
Looking forward to "painless" subject extraction, open closed eyes as well as other improvements made since getting Photoshop Elements 6 ten years ago. I want to see this feature hit upstream. Perhaps one should pull out the old Instamatic. Welcome to AI and 'automate everything'. Take away the 'thinking and memory' skill of the individual.
No need to think, to remember, to maintain skill, to have motor skills. Soon the lamest photographer will have works of art. No need for skill or an eye for composition. It'll be the best fake masterpiece ever.
Eventually every damn photo of particular scenes will look the same Intelligent AI at it's best And I wonder who will actually own the copyright for such a heavily modified piece of 'work' Will it be the 'AI machine' since the 'photo' was created by it? It's almost a monkey vs human scenario.
The AI 'thinks' therefore it 'is'. As someone who shoots a lot of outdoors-in-bright-sunshine portraiture, the open eyes tweak is a winner. I'm looking forward to a filter that replaces people in photos with better looking people. Can be the modernity but I strive to follow all this "virtual" photography, where latitude is artificial, focus is stacked, eyes are opened, bokeh is artificially rebuilded, photos are on the clouds Come to think about it, doesn't traditional painting produce a virtual result?
Lot of editing going on there. And yet people idolize it. Dump your camera, take up painting. Seriously Pondering this very move myself for quite some time now. Well, well, that software can opens eyes, but can it shut some mouths? If it could, I would be interested, and I bet a lot of married dudes would too. By the way, she asked me whether Alien Skin could enlarge some part of you - and we have no doubt you know what part we are talking about here - alas I fear this is just an unsatisfied wife's dream.
Technology has its limit too. I think the future is this: Software will then be able to extrapolate all kinds of photos any angle, any effect on-demand using input from multiple sensors. There will be absolutely no need for photographers - all you will need is access to the data and the machine will produce what you need and deliver to your device. I can see that happening for arena event photography. Can I assume that those who are currently using photographer's CCsubscription to LR and PS will have access to these features or is the "Elements" version offering some unique features? This a different product not included with cc.
It is a family friendly software purchased in the traditional way i. The best part about Elements is you can use it to as a plug-in host for Nik.
If a version ever stops working with Nik then buh-bye. PSE doesn't have that problem, and I can say it's a better host program for Nik.
I believe the objective is remove as much of the human element or skill learning as possible. Just take the pic and the AI software will try to make it the perfect picture. No learning, skills etc necessary. Then jump in your self driving vehicle and head to the robo eatery. No driving skills, no cooking knowledge. However, I will admit that fixing closed eyes would be very helpful in our family pics.
I suspect in the future you will have a small sensor on your hat that will automatically recognize a great pic and take it for you without any guidance. Eastman started the whole thing. All the professional photos were gritting their teeth, when this started. Although the costs were prohibitive to the common man, but it eventually came down. Kodak marketed and sold the Instamatic , in approximately , and this was another example if dumbing down the photographic experience.
Eventually a person will be able th take a photograph. As far as opening closed eyes, as When I shot a group, I always shot 4,5 or six pix, to find one with al the eyes opened in all the subjects. The more people that look good, the more sales are made. People seldom buy pix of themselves with the eyes closed. The perfect alternative is to have eyes tatood on their eyelids. I have used Elements for many years, but I am not a fan of the direction this new edition is taking.
I use Elements to crop, adjust lighting and contrast, and to adjust color temperature. And, that's about it. My Elements 11 edition does those things easily and quickly. But, these new, "features" in the edition sound like gimmicks that would just be in my way. Starting with Elements 9, my rule of thumb has been to only bother upgrading every other, new addition.
But, lately, I have been waiting on every other two supposed new additions. Following that path, I don't really feel I have missed anything. That's what is nice about being able to buy software, you only have to buy the version that works well for you. The cloud model just keeps changing every month. Adobe Elements has two advantages. Firstly it has a broad range of features that should satisfy most photographers professional or amateur ; designers are not as well-sereved.
Secondly, the whole program is bought only once; it is not a wallet-robbing subscription. Do the money-math, research the features and figure out what you need and what you don't need. Disregard the marketing ploys 'pro' v. Yes, 'opening the eyes' can be useful once in a while. Even the best photographers can have a wonderful pose with the eyes closed. As for picking the best for me, screw that. As for auto-curation, screw that. Photographic success usually means careful consideration of composition, and "capturing the right moment" comes with practice and learned motor-skills.
Don't hold on throwaways As for who wrote this article, please stop writing off press releases. I didn't realize how bloated or complicated PS has become, not having bought it for years until it was forced on me in order to get LR. LaurenceSvirchev, when you say: Designers as in "website", heavy-duty manipulation for the fashion industry, advertising. For resolving color balance, cropping, removing artifacts,and other journeyman work, Elements is fine. For example, I do stage photography, jazz music.

I'll also remove distracting lights on amplifiers. You can see some of this work on www. The logo photo is actually two photos, each slightly resized and seamlessly combined in Elements. Thanks for asking and hope this helps. C1 is a very good developer but its cataloging features are in kindergarden compared to LR being in college. Have you tried the later versions of C1? I don't miss anything in their cataloging.
What features are you missing? And are you willing to pay for the rest of your life to access your own catalogs? Changing skies, turning a frowns upside down, opening closed eyes No curves adjustment layer. You can make a gradient map adjustment layer and work your luma contrast like that, or install an additional plug-in.
It's a pity they don't focus on core functionalities like that. Adobe, Why don't you fix Lightroom performance and support D first? Also, support macOS High Sierra! You do know that developers have access to Beta programs and you could've been ahead of the actual release dates. As unbelievable as it may seem, Adobe can actually woke on more than one program at a time with multiple teams.
Why is former faster than the latter, is beyond me I wold like to know if Elements can find out the sharpest shot from a bunch of continuous shooting pics. Also, if the series of images have the same framing, fixed exposure and focus, and a static subject, you can just look at file sizes. The sharpest image most detail will have the largest file size. Just make sure you don't throw images with different apertures in the mix.
