Hi all
Have not posted for a while, and this one is only photo related.
Does any one use a mac for photo editing,
I have elements and don't use organiser, in windows, i download to pictures
Then when I want to work on them, I open elements and import.
With mac I downloaded to photos, then opened elements and tried to import, nothing doing pop up stated photoshop could not open these files.
The files where raw, so mac must be stopping the import.
Can any one tell me what I I'm doing wrong,
Plus is there any where else you can download to apart from organiser that is.
Here`s hoping you can stop my hair from going any greyer .
Cheers
Dave

Sorry Dave
Been away so missed your post. I bought the inks from CityInkExpress:

I spoke to them beforehand and they confirmed they were not the Claria inks (in name anyway) and were for the ink tank printer they sell overseas with 6 inks. They are dye inks though and I am very impressed with the print quality.

Thanks HTH i did find sellers but they where all over seas.Sorry Dave

I had the original i7 in my last PC and had a third generation one now (my son has the latest fourth generation which are cool running too). The four actual cores plus the four virtual cores means that it very efficiently can run the now more efficient 8 OS, my photo software (designed for multi core), my web and DTP software, background scans etc all at once without running out of steam. I have a 2gb graphics card and 8 gb of motherboard RAM. Would you say i7 is better than i5 for photo editing.

Unless I could afford a very posh one I'd never use a laptop over a desktop, every component in a desktop runs faster. Laptops have to compromise due to heat constraints, slower memory chips, slower processors,slower hard drives like for like etc.[/quote]

Windows 8.1 on my i7 powered PC is even more efficient than 8 and works superbly for photo editing.
The Latest Serif Photoplus X7 I use is written for it, has full 64 bit scanner support, 16 bit RGB editing, high res monitor support and a good RAW studio.
I boot directly to desktop (one time simple selection on task bar) so have little to do with the Start Screen Apps.

I would strongly advise you to try and avoid Windows 8 if at all possible. I was forced to get it with a laptop (not my photo/video machine thank goodness) and it is every bit as bad as the poor reception it got when announced suggested. The mishmash of desktop and touchscreen elements makes it a nightmare to navigate . Even the basics like easy access to shutdown and switch user commands is a screw-up, and the constant too and froing back and forwards from the desktop to the 'start screen' drives me mad! Avoid it at all possible ..... The next version 10 is rumoured to restore the better aspects of Windows 7, which IMO is the best OS to get for now. If you can get a machine with 7 or install it, or wait for 10 I am sure you won't regret it ... Get 8 and you sure will!

Thinking of updating to window 8, but there appears to be a lot of unhappy people who cant run elements 11 with this OS.
Any one on the forum had this trouble, and did you manage to resolve it.

You will need to ask an expert about that.Why would you want to run a 13" laptop at 3200 resolution though? That's just ridiculous. Maybe 1900 but any higher and it becomes impossible to see anything...

You could just copy the images across to a folder on your computer.
I just make folders describing the set of images, usually from a single day's shoot, so the folder name might be "Haddon Hall 08 12 2015" - doing this does not require importing into anything. The files can be opened from this folder using Bridge or whatever program, perhaps Camera Raw if you are using Elements.
That is basically what I have done,
Still getting use to the mac.
