Packing up and moving to a new office can be a daunting task. We should know. We've recently moved into our new home just under a month ago! Thankfully we've had the resources of a moving company and a well organized HR team to help us through. Not everyone has that convenience though, so we've made a checklist of some of our procedures to help you do that.
While not required, selecting captains for certain areas of your move is really helpful in organizing everything and making the move go more smoothly. Select as many as you think you need to cover the main areas of focus in getting your new office home in order. For our move, we selected our move captains to be our department heads. It was easy and made sense for us, but go with whatever works best for you.
Packaging and labeling your items and equipment is a must of course, but there is two ways you can go about it: be unorganized, or be organized. We hope you choose the latter ;) Listed below are some ways we suggest you go about doing that when packaging and labeling your items.
Using bags to hold IT equipment makes it easy to keep cords together and all of your computer stuff in one spot so you don't lose anything and try to guess what goes with what later on. We suggest keeping it to one or two bags per person and to only use for computer equipment.
When labeling your office items, consider using a color code system with stickers to organize what gets kept, what get thrown out, etc. For example, we used red tags for office furniture that didn't make it to the new place and was up for grabs, green tags for pre-move items, and all yellow tagged items were moved to the new place. This also made it easy for people who wanted to take the red tagged items home, to be able to put their name on them to indicate they were spoken for and not to toss out.
Whatever color you choose to go with for your label system, make sure you make it clear to your employees so there's no confusion!
Another thing that is helpful to do is to add a location ID to each label with the area you want it to go to in your new place.
Depending on if you go with a moving company or not and how they work, you may want to evaluate their packaging and labeling procedures while you scope them out.
Here is a 1-Month-Till-Move Breakdown of High Level Tasks You Can Follow:
We hope these tips help you to organize your move a little better or at the very least, uncover some things you may not have thought about.

Pantomimes, as with all things kitsch, reached their peak of popularity in Britain in the Victorian era. One of the first great successes was the uplifting tale of wee Dick Whittington, the poor little orphan boy whose pluck and luck won him the title of Lord Mayor of London in the early 15th century.
Dick's rise to fortune, so the story goes, "was by a cat". In the legend, the earnest young kitchen boy offers his cat to a ship owned by his master, in the hope that puss can be sold for profit at a foreign port. When the master's vessel, the Unicorn, alights at a port along the Barbary Coast, the intrepid mouser clears the Moorish king's palace of a plague of rats. The king - "so pleased that his heart leapt high enough in his breast to knock the turban off his head", in the words of a Victorian version of the Whittington panto - delightedly pays as much for the cat as for the rest of the ship's cargo combined.
With this sudden fortune faithfully delivered into his dishpan hands by the captain, Dick marries his master's kindly daughter, Alice. He then enters politics and soon fulfils the prophecy of the Bow bells, which had once pealed to him "as if in human voice: 'Turn again Whittington, Lord Mayor of London.' "
As with any legend, however, the tale of Whittington's rise is a lot like Jordan: all the interesting bits are false. The real Dick Whittington was the third son of Sir William Whittington of Gloucestershire, who secured his financial and political fortunes by supplying well-placed loans to the royalty. The chronically impoverished Henry IV was particularly dependent on Whittington's largesse, and advanced his political career in kind. Thus, one explanation for the etymology of Dick's "rise by a cat": the French term achats refers to trading for profit. A little playful mistranslation gives us à chat - by cat.
There is no historical evidence linking the real-life Whittington with a cat, either, and the origin of his association with this folk tale remains a mystery. Like most folk etymologies, this one was supplied well after the fact. In truth, tales of poor boys who grow suddenly rich because of their cats have existed in Europe since at least the 13th century. The most famous is Puss-in-Boots, which had enthralled children for hundreds of years before the Frenchman Charles Perault published it in the first Tales Of My Mother Goose in 1697. Even older variations of the story can be found in Norway, Tuscany and Russia.
What makes the British version unique is that the popular fable is wedded to a well-known historical figure, lending it an element of authenticity. The story of Whittington's rise from street urchin to lord mayor offered hope to the industrial revolution's urban poor. For soot-faced boys, born too early to dream of playing for Manchester United, it was a real-life Cinderella story.
While the fate of the original cat is unknown, a statue of the felicitous feline can be found on London's Highgate Hill. For those who would like a more interactive rendition, there's sure to be a "Dick Whittington and his Cat" extravaganza somewhere near you. Su Pollard is starring in the panto in Llandudno (Oh, yes she is), Brookside's Sinbad is at the Royal Court in Liverpool (Oh, yes he is, too), and panto dame Wayne Sleep co-stars with Sid Owen (EastEnders' Ricky) at Bournemouth Pavilion (Oh yes, I'm afraid so). You have been warned.

I will miss the afternoons we spent together...
Everyday we walked into school at the same time. Everyday we got out at the same instant. I always walked her home. And she always smiled when she shut the door, never saying goodbye to me.
My life is over. Without Ally my world has stopped rotating. I wish I had been with her that day when she stopped breathing. But no. On the one day that we should have been together, I was in the hospital. My stupid brother had the flu and I had to stand there and act all concerned, when all I was actually thinking about was Ally.
Ally. Oh! Ally. My life. My muse. My best friend. My love.
I am Terrance Philip Michael Drew. I go to the best school in the world. It is the best because Ally used to go there too. Before she betrayed me, and left me alone to waste away. I wish I could follow her wherever it is that she has gone, just like I followed her everyday. Every single day, for the past 4 years and 296 days, my life has circled around Ally.
I still remember her smile, her beautiful brown hair, her perfect teeth and her pretty face. I noticed everything about her. Her scent, her lip-gloss, her shoes, her bracelets, her belts, even the slightest change in hair style. But I don't know if she knew me.
I always talked to her. I didn't care that it was a framed group shot that my words were directed at. The only thing that mattered to me was that she was always smiling at me when I talked to her. She didn't know that she was never alone even when she thought she was. I was always ten paces behind. Beside the water cooler, near the lockers, behind the maple tree across her house. I was always there.
What will I do now? How will I spend those afternoons that I spent talking to her, walking her home, taking her to class. What is my life without Ally and her beautiful smile.

Yes, you have to be very familiar with ideas to be a Windows Family System Administrator. You must embrace ideas, mainly Mocrosofts', but your own may be have validity too. You will also want to learn how to properly express those ideas to a wider audience.
If you are seeking to learn more about Windows System Administration, I would suggest enrolling in a course as provided by a licensed vendor to teach you about MS Sys Admin skills.

Letters from John Lennon`s killer to be auctioned
New York: A series of never-before-seen letters from John Lennon`s murderer, Mark David Chapman, to Steve Spiro, the NYPD officer who arrested him, are going under the hammer for USD 75000.
Chapman "wanted to be friends" with the cop who was first on the scene at the 1980 shooting and said they were "part of something big".
Lines from the first of three typed letters to Spiro in 1983 reads, "Besides wanting to be your friend, is there any way that you can help me locate my copy of `The Catcher in the Rye` that was taken from me on the night of my arrest?"
Chapman was infamously collared with a copy of the JD Salinger novel inscribed with, "This is my statement".
The letters are being sold through Gary Zimet`s Moments in Time and valued at USD 75,000.
"From the time of my arrest I have felt close to you... It is something that would happen to Holden Caulfield," Chapman wrote in another letter.
"We were all part of something big, Steve. Something phenomenal. It is all going to come out," he added.

Piers wins Celia's daddy over with a £4 million cheque
Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan plans to sell his three-bedroom Fulham bachelor pad after spending £4 million of his estimated £15 million fortune buying a soigné five-bedroom Grade II-listed house in Kensington from his girlfriend's dad.
Morgan bought the house, in exclusive Edwardes Square, from former Tory MP George Walden, father of Morgan's journalist squeeze Celia Walden.
The ex-Mirror editor's penthouse pad at The Regent on the River, with Chelsea Harbour and Battersea Heliport views, could fetch more than £1 million. The Sussex-born roisterer moved there five years ago after the break-up of his marriage to Marion, with whom he had three sons: Spencer, Stanley and Bertie.
Though the David Frost wannabe is occasionally spied jogging along the Fulham towpath, he currently spends five months of the year recording the American version of the talent-spotting show in Los Angeles, where he stays at the ultra-starry Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
If you fancy living in a one-bedroom flat with one of the French Riviera's most impressive views then actress/singer Toyah Willcox could be your landlady.

Her high-tech pad in the medieval mountain-top village of Eze is for rent at £1,100 a month via Menton agent A-Plus Properties.
"I started buying property because I was nervous about the stock market and pensions," says the former pink-tressed princess of punk. "I also have an amazing two-bedroom period apartment overlooking Menton harbour; a Georgian manor-house in Pershore, Worcestershire; two adjoining 19th century fishermen's cottages in Wyre Piddle and a modern two-storey Chiswick cottage ("my London office").
While filming his new BBC1 circus sitcom, Big Top, opposite Amanda Holden, rumbustious Northern comedy star John Thomson rented a two-bedroom penthouse in a gated Chiswick development.

The two-bedroom Kew Bridge Court property cost £430 a week from Residential Land, central London's largest private landlord.
The award-winning star of BBC1's The Fast Show and ITV's Cold Feet normally lives in West Didsbury, a five-mile commute to Coronation Street's Castleford studios, where he films his latest role as electrician turned children's entertainer Jesse Chadwick.
Adopted at eight weeks and raised near Preston, Thomson is married to former model Sam Sharp, mother of his daughter Olivia.
Having just announced record pre-tax profits of $71.6 million, gold bullion mogul Mark Bristow is going on a spending spree. He is selling his Johannesburg house and building one in Mauritius. He and his wife Noeleen are also looking for a swanky British base around Ascot or Virginia Water where six-bedroom mansions cost up to £10 million.
The burly KwaZulu-born boss of Randgold Resources, with mines in Mali, the Ivory Coast and Senegal, is currently on a 48-day motorbike safari from Cape Town to Cairo on a souped-up BMW 800 GS.
"I love the outdoor life," he says. "But I've taken a sat phone and laptop to stay in touch with the office."

Understand your System Domain - System Design using Metamodels
Models, esp. Metamodels are important to understand your business domain. They are important to sharpen your technical specification. They enrich the semantics of your specification objects by having them semantically connected. Metamodels answer the questions on what and how a specification content has to be designed. Metamodels lead you to multidimensional specifications due to the fact that a relationship dimension has been added.
The topic sysML/UML Metamodels covers the questions.
• what are sysML/UML Metamodels
• how they are made
• why they are important
• which areas of business are typical.
I will express how sysML/UML-Metamodells can be used as glossary and specification foundation for systems and architectures. In connection hereby, it is shown how abstractions can be helpful.
I also express that Metamodels can lead to an early focusing in an project that follows agile process models without committing to certain solutions too early.
Examples are:
- Semantic Glossary for Business Domains (Domainmodels)
- (ICT) Enterprise Architecure Management
- Platform Design for (ICT) Systems
- Abstract specification foundation for (ICT) Systems (e.g. for agile process models)

El apartamento estupendo, con una vistas espectaculares. Confortable y muy bien equipado. Buenas calidades. Todo según lo pactado y sin ninguna sorpresa desagradable, superó nuestras expectativas.
Muy recomendable.
The apartment has a great views and it is pretty close to Times Square, Central Park and other popular places from the Big Apple. We have been really happy in this studio. If you are gonna visit Manhattan and you would like a place close to almost everything, this is the right choice. We didn't need to even take the underground! Just to go to Harlem. Great apartment, totally recommended!
The accomodation was perfect. We was there with 3 persons.
The view is like the photos beautiful and it was verry quiered.
We had an amazing week in NYC.
The location was perfect for our trips.
Thank you Samuel
The apartment was as depicted. The roof terrace was amazing.
However, two things worth to be mentioned.
1. The toilet didn't work (blocked) and we had to use the towels to fix the water damage. We requested new towels, but we were told we will not be provided with new towels. We were offered a cleaning service for 50 USD ( which we have to pay) and that isn't the service we expected. Afterwards a technician was engaged by the rentor.
2. The price of 300 USD per night is quite high and we stayed at the Mariott hotel later for less.
The distance to the underground station is 800 yards.
We had a very enjoyable stay here in New York. The apartment was in good order and the views indeed spectacular! Thank you, Samuel!
The accomodation was perfect. We was there with 4 persons.
The view is like the photos beautiful and it was verry quiered.
Siamo stati a New York City 10 giorni ad Aprile 2017 per visitare la città. Samuel è stato disponibile fino da subito, già durante il momento della prenotazione, per chiarire ogni idea e rispondere ad ogni nostra domanda. L'appartamento è perfetto. La vista è davvero mozzafiato, sia di notte che di giorno. L'appartamento è ben strutturato, comodo, nel complesso pulito e inoltre fornito di ogni elettrodomestico e utensile da cucina. Il quartiere è molto tranquillo, sicuro e in piena Midtown Manhattan. È possibile raggiungere comodamente ogni punto della città a piedi oppure le stazioni della metro, moltissime e molto vicine. L'appartamento si trova in un grattacielo residenziale veramente splendido. Il rooftop, accessibile al 25^ piano da tutti è meraviglioso per concludere la tua giornata a Manhattan. Qualora dovessimo tornare in questa splendida città prenoteremmo sicuramente in questo magnifico appartamento. Grazie Samuel, grazie Nadia!
I'd never heard of WIMDU prior to a friend suggesting it! A really easy site to access and navigate and a seamless process for booking. Out stay in Samuel's apartment was fabulous. Everything was just as described. Our host met us exactly on time and showed us around the apartment which was in a great location, quiet, and super clean.
Loved Samuel's place! Amazing views, very close to Times Square, clean and cozy, perfect for two. Great communication with Samuel and easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommended. We will definitely book again with Samuel when back to NY. Thank you Samuel.

Bengaluru, June 25: Former India captain and spin great Bishan Singh Bedi has described Ambati Rayudu's bowling action as "highly suspect" and questioned MS Dhoni's move to bowl him in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh yesterday (June 24).
With Bangladesh 9 wickets down while chasing 318 at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Dhoni surprised all by throwing the ball to Rayudu.
The captain's decision was vindicated when he struck (Mustafizur Rahman LBW) on the last ball of his second over to signal the end of the match and victory for India by 77 runs. Rayudu finished with 1/5 in 2 overs with 1 maiden. But Bedi was not impressed by this.
It was a surprise move by Dhoni to bring on Rayudu for this off-spin as still overs were left with frontline bowlers. R Ashwin was the only bowler who completed his quota of 10 with 2/35.
The 29-year-old Rayudu is not a regular bowler. He has bowled only 108 balls in his 29 ODIs, taking 3 wickets.
In recent times, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has clamped down on illegal bowling actions. And Bedi lauded the worlds' governing body for that.
Bedi took to Twitter to ask why Rayudu was called to bowl. "Could not figure out the need to have highly suspect bowling action of Rayudu to finish off Bangladesh last night?! When do specialist bowlers get their due?," the former left-arm spinner asked.
Dhoni is a man who goes by his instinct and it was one of those days when he felt the need of giving the white ball to Rayudu when the game was all but sealed.

USD/JPY: analysts' comments
BBH: A convincing break 99.50 is needed to open up the downside for the pair. After that, the 100-day MA, now at 98.29 will be the next important target to watch. However first, it bears notice if the 100 level will hold this week.
Societe Generale: The pair will consolidate between 95.60 and 101.90. A decisive close in either direction will dictate the future trend. For the day, the pair will continue to drift lower towards 99.28. 100.46 limits upside.
SEB: The bounce came close (100.19) to the mid body point (100.23) before falling back confirming the exit of the short term bear flag. The behavior is strengthen our view of being in the early stages of the next leg lower, down to 97.20 (95.40) within the larger bull triangle.
UBS: We recommend staying long USD/JPY and look for a move up to 105 in 3 months.

Russia's Plan to Combat HIV: A National HIV Registry
Russian HIV activists fear that a national HIV registry, the newest move to combat the mounting number of HIV cases in Russia, will lead to discrimination and marginalization against HIV-positive Russians.
On New Year's Day, 2017, Vladimir Putin issued a new registry of people with HIV, which could be used to isolate people who are infected with the virus. According to the Russian Health Ministry, the Federal Register of HIV patients aims to help ensure patients receive antiretroviral medication efficiently and to provide standardize data on the epidemic.
A proposal to make the registration compulsory was reportedly rejected by both the Justice Ministry and the Health Ministry.
"The first and most important task is to assess and collect full information on how many HIV patients we have, what treatment plans have been arranged for them, what medicines have been prescribed to them," said Deputy Health Minister Sergei Krayevoi.
As a solution to the growing cases of HIV/AIDS in the country, Russia recently launched a campaign to make HIV/AIDS treatment more accessible. The Federal Register of HIV patients has been launched to better help distribute medicine to patients, according to Health Ministry spokesman Oleg Salagai.
As 2016 drew to a close, the number of people in Russia living with HIV surpassed one million. The number has been growing steadily since the late 1990s, and has been increasing even while the number of new cases has been falling in developed countries. UNAIDS has reported that Russia has the largest HIV epidemic in the European Region, and one of the fastest growing HIV epidemics in the world.
In July of this year, the United Nations AIDS agency (UNAIDS) said that there are 36.7 million people infected with HIV worldwide, and that number has continued to grow over the past five years. The UNAIDS current 90-90-90 goal, where by 2020, 90 percent of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status, 90 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV infection will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy, and 90 percent of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression, cannot be achieved if Russia does not do more to stem their epidemic.
"The HIV epidemic in Russia is not an abstract, theoretical threat. As noted at the highest levels of the Russian government, HIV in Russia has reached a critical level, and the epidemic is getting worse by the day," said Vinay Saldanha, UNAIDS regional director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
While in the past, most Russian citizens who contracted HIV were marginalized members of society, such as prostitutes, drug users, and members from the lower income brackets, the virus now seems to be reaching people from various demographics and traveling throughout wider society. It mentioned the LGBT Community in this list, but only to group it with criminals.
Intravenous drug users have been the main driving force of the infection for the last decade with 500,000 Russians estimated to be active injection drug users. There are limited needle exchange programs—or syringe services programs, programs that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have dubbed successful in reducing HIV transmission—and limited access to ART for these drug users, according to Jeffrey H. Samet, MD, MA, MPH, chief, professor of medicine at the Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health.
This past year, the number of heterosexual couples contracting HIV surpassed intravenous drug users. According to activists, the Russian Orthodox Church opposes comprehensive sex education and contraception, favoring "family values" as a solution to the epidemic. Even safer-sex kits with free needles and condoms must be labeled "foreign agents," or else the nonprofits that distribute them run the risk of breaking Russian law.
In 2015, after the Russian Health Ministry published a report cautioning that the HIV epidemic in Russia was likely to spiral out of control by 2020, Dimitry Medvedev, the prime minister of Russia, urged the Health Ministry to develop a plan to combat HIV and AIDS.
The Health Ministry hopes that the new registry will get more HIV-positive citizens on antiretroviral treatment. Currently, less than 40 percent of HIV-positive Russians receive antiretroviral drugs, even though nearly all of the $338 million budget for AIDS care goes to medicine—with almost nothing for preventive education.
According to the Russian Health ministry, the new registry has already logged 824,000 people out of an estimated 850,000 patients in just four days. AIDS activists claim there may be at least another 500,000 undiagnosed cases.
"Any individual diagnosed with HIV should be interested in being included in this register since he or she will receive medicine on this basis," Salagai said.

Structural support of tapestries
Material content
How do modern and historic materials interact within the local structural unit in a tapestry? Have tapestries survived better because of conservation support systems? Were the conservation materials the best choice and has there been enough stitching applied, or too much?
Phillipa Duffus, who recently completed her PhD, explains more about the above project and how this will help us make important conservation decisions in the future.
To answer this question, Phillipa has been researching the physical properties of our tapestries and the effectiveness of current conservation methods in order to identify the best structural support techniques with minimum intervention.
This PhD project is a collaborative research between Historic Royal Palaces and the University of Manchester and is funded by the AHRC/EPSRC Science and Heritage Programme.
Detail of a 500-year old tapestry during conservation
Tapestries are very large objects and can measure up to 6m x 4m, making them very heavy. Some of the tapestries here at Hampton Court are over 500 years old and have inevitably suffered over time from the effects of light, humidity and pollution. They are not, therefore, as strong as they once were and are less able to support their own weight. As part of the conservation process, we can apply a fabric support to the back of a tapestry to distribute the load and carry the weight of the tapestry when it is returned to display.
The Abraham tapestries on display at Hampton Court Palace
Supporting historic textiles
There are many different methods of support used in conservation studios across the world today. This project aims to research these and compare their effectiveness in supporting large-scale hanging textiles. A critical survey of the conservation methods presently in use will be carried out, their effectiveness tested and an optimum structural support determined. This will be achieved through the use of weaving, ageing and then testing a model fabric and using predictive digital modelling to investigate mechanical properties.
Model tapestry samples showing the effect of artificial light-ageing
The result of this 3 year study will enable conservators internationally to undertake a more scientifically informed decision for the conservation support and display of large scale textiles.

Day 3 Destination The Badlands, South Dakota
... it is tempting to push it to 80 we know Our V weighs about 18 tons and a blow out could be catastrophic at any speed! Slow is pro. Just past Plankinton, SD I decided to stop at a rest area for lunch and to change drivers (Bruce was napping) and at this cute little rest area in the middle of nowhere in prairie lands is this tiny church open to the public. The fence around it is to keep grazing cattle out. Bruce is 6'6" standing next ...
... person. The farm house blocks were the same, so well looked after, beautifully mowed lawns. Showcasing Iowa farmland and homesteads.
Now for just a few general observations about the journey so far:
1. The people are genuinely really friendly and helpful.
2. Petrol is cheaper $125.9 per Gal to $2.78 per Gallon. You have to pay before you pump.
3. On average ...
Beautiful Badlands
We started out the day with a visit to the Badlands. We stopped here last year, but Fred did not get the videos he wanted to get, so we are back today to take those videos. Since we have visited the park a number of times, I was not going take many photos. Well it is hard to ignore the beautiful and unusual scenery that is found in the Badlands. I ...
A good day of food and fun
We met Lisa and Dave at Arnold's Perk. They have great coffee but no breakfast. So the next step was to go to the Family Diner in Spirit Lake. Great breakfast. The kids went over to Arnold's Park, while we took Izzie back to the coach. Dave brought over a few tacos from our favorite Taco John's for lunch. Then he brought over some Iowa pork chops (the thick ones), sweet corn (they looked good), and some caramel bread pudding for dinner. Prior to ...
The Perfect Night with Izzie
It was Date Night for Lisa and Dave. So Sheila and I spent the night at the condo and the kids had Date Night and spent the night at the trailer. This was their first time in a long time to sleep in. Sheila and I always hear the horror stories about being up all night with a crying baby. Regardless, we took our chances. Sheila and I took Izzie for a walk around the condo area. It was then feeding time and bath time. We got Izzie to bed about 9:00pm. By 10:30, Izzie ...

|A screengrab from a (now deleted) page on Adobe's website which shows a subscription fee of $99 for 'Adobe Lightroom for mobile'. [via 9 to 5 Mac]
Is Adobe planning to release a mobile version of its Lightroom Raw editing program? It seems so, judging by an accidental leak on its own website earlier this week. A private page on Adobe's website - quickly removed - appears to have revealed details of a planned iOS version of Lightroom, including a price of $99 for an annual cloud subscription license.
Adobe demonstrated an early beta version of the application last year at a 'sneek peek' session at the Photoshop World show in Las Vegas and it seems as if Lightroom Mobile is almost ready for its official launch. The full feature set is a matter of conjecture at this point, but it appears that for a fee of $99 per year, users will be able to store images in the cloud and synchronize work between mobile and desktop versions of the software. It is unclear at this point whether a cheaper version will be available, perhaps minus the integration with Creative Cloud (we hope so).
Photographers have been asking Adobe for a mobile version of Lightroom for a long time - what are you hoping for in the upcoming release? Let us know in the comments.

You can buy a RAW editing app for iPad now: Photogene
$20 I think.
Yearly licence??
Never ever.
A couple of months ago, I had to make my choice which software to buy for RAW processing. LR was high on the list, and although it is (still) a stand alone no-cloud, no-rent application, I decided against Adobe because I am not sure they will keep LR that way. This iOS version of LR seems to indicate the way LR (full version) is heading. Well, DXO has a happy customer more now and Adobe one less.
GOOD GOING ADOBE, now we can probably and finally look for a programmable keyboard with sliders to speed things up for us poor folks with curpal tunnel syndrome.
It's about time ADOBE and BEHRINGER started a line of mixers. I would gladly fork out at least $1000
Just imagine people doing 100 files per minute, we'd be whipping them up like pancakes, just the same as we learn to type fast...
Lets face it, our phones may already have enough power to make us worlds ahead in our post producuction that eats us away from the fun that we are supposed to be having in the field instead.
looking at comments, makes me think that they intentionally leaked the price, not the software...
adobe, take a look at autodesk or microsoft if you wanna learn how to price decent mobile apps
typo, its 99c not 99$
who would pay 99 bucks for a photobrowser ^^
even for adobe that would be too pricey
Solution: lose the iPad and go get a Windows tablet and a free dropbox account for the library. Load LR on the tablet, work in the full version (with a real digitizer on some tablets!) when on the road using DB. When you get back home/to the office, just fire up the tablet and use lightroom to move the images to their final storage location on you server or external drive.
Real Lightroom, no importing/exporting catalogs for every outing, and no additional cost.
Just wait, Adobe will start charging $49 /year to run full LR on desktop AND tablet.
Adobe apparently didn't get the message from photographers, NO subscriptions.
Even better, get a powerful notebook,slap 32 gigs of RAM with some crazy SSD and you got a power house with a real keyboard, so that you can stop swearing at on-screen keyboard, it's not that much more heavy than an ipad to carry from your car to the park bench.
Hey Alaska, the moment they start doing the $49 per year subscription most of us will buy LR5 and boycott LR by sitting on this version for years, then we will see who crumbles next and maybe from this will arise some serious competition - I do like the new improvements but they are likely to be insignificant in the nearest future versions of LR
As an infrequent user of photo-processing software, I can't afford to be put on the rotating rental model (greedy) Adobe has migrated to. How many other people are in this same "boat"? Hopefully enough to leave a dent in their profit.
I am in the same boat. Recently decided against LR because I am not sure where LR is heading (I suppose it will become a rental software soon - I prefer ownership). Thats why I didn't buy LR and decided to get my software from DXO (Optics pro). Its about the same initial price, but it belongs to you - after purchase no more costs incur.
What substantially new can mobile LR bring to the table(t) especially for ridiculous $99 per annum?
I really want to be able to take my recent work with me on an Android tablet. I want to be able to hand the tablet to a client, have them rate the photos, and then sync those ratings back into Lightroom.
I pay 34.99 for 40mb internet speed per month and Adobe thinks they are going to charge me $99 for an android app or even a computer program. LOL
Adobe is smart though. The send out a fake announcement saying 99 dollars, everybody screams blue bloody murder, then they introduce it at 30 dollars and everyone says, yes I am stupid and will buy this product. LOL
I own Photoshop Touch for Android. $10 and I own it. LR for android should be 15 dollars one time charge max. If anyone pays more than that, they are getting soaked by Adobe. I cannot believe that anyone in the android community would pay rent even 10 dollars a year for this thing let alone 10 dollars a month. But I have been wrong before.
How do you know this? Do you work for them? If this is the case. They should have corrected this and said it would not cost this price. If I hated Adobe would I own Adobe Photoshop touch? No, but I do because it is a reasonable price and I do not have to rent the software. Adobe set up a rental at outrages prices and many people are not going to buy it. That is not hatred. That is how capitalism works. And being able to express dissatisfaction with Adobes prices is called free speech. The ability for Adobe to set their own prices is called free market. The abilitty for Adobe to go down the drain asking too much for their product is what happens when a company gets greedy. Only time will tell if they charge to much. But I will not rent software, that is not hate. It is wisdon. If I were a pro and could write it off as an expense it may be worth it but Adobe abandoned the consumer in favor of the pro, now it reaps the reward. Not hatred but wrose, not buying.
The domino effect. You buy a new camera. Software can't open the files. Solution: Buy new software.
You start your perpetual subscription and download the new software. But the new software won't run on your existing OS (this happened to me with trouble-free Snow Leopard and LR 5). Solution: Buy a new OS!
Ok, so a new OS is cheap, except for the time spent de-bugging. Your buy the new OS and four of your applications no longer work. Solution: Paid upgrades!
So one purchase has now led to half a dozen. Best case, you're back where you started. I wasn't that lucky because PS 6 runs much slower than PS 5 but newer is always better (wink). Angry at Adobe? Heck no, no one to blame but myself. The Fixx had it right.
Adobe isn't a software company anymore, they are organized crime running a protection racket... "Nice little business you got here - be a shame if anything happened to all those pretty little pictures of yours. For $50 a month we can make sure your software doesn't disappear..."
No. There is only one image file type that is proprietary to adobe and that is .psd files. Any other format can be opened in any number of alternative programmes. If you dont save in .psd then there is no problem. If you do, just convert before giving up your subscription. No ransom, no protection racket. If you want to use the software and formats owned by adobe you pay them, if you don't want to don't pay them.
BaldCol, you're wrong on all counts, and you continue pontificating, sometimes in BOLD CAPS... Hilarious.
You just realized that .lrcat files are something that cannot be handled by anything other than Lightroom. Good. At this point, you should have switched back to lurking mode and just listen to what people who actually own and use Lightroom say.
For the record: for those who shoot RAW, Lightroom *is* time limited. As soon as we buy a camera whose RAW files are not yet supported by Lightroom, we're bound to upgrade. For instance, I had to upgrade to LR5.1 to get support for my new Sony RX100mk2.
And to state the obvious for anyone who has even a slightest idea of how Lightroom works, .lrcat files are precisely the storage for *all* the edits. Processed RAW file is the original RAW files plus editing commands in .lrcat. This the price we pay for "non destructive editing".
So pretty please think twice (or at least once) before writing anything else on this subject.
I use Lightroom for the majority of my work so no need to explain how it works to me.
Lightroom is not time limited. You can use your current setup for ever. If you choose to buy new equipment then you might need to buy new software as well. That's always been the case and has not changed with the 'cc' model (not that Lightroom has to be bought under cc).
Of course those nasty mean people at Adobe do give you an alternative by providing a free process by which you can convert your raw files from any camera they support to .dng.
Thinking twice and outside the box.
.lrcat files are SQLite files. SQLite is a free and open source SQL database. There are a number of free programs that will open the file but you will need to know SQL and relational databases to make sense of it. You will also have to try and interpret the data to find out what Adobe puts in all the tables!
I'll pay up to $30 one-off purchase for this app.
Mobile devices are too slow for good RAW processing, and files are too big to upload in bulk for file processing. It might be handy to have around though for a single file...
I purchased Lightroom 5 recently and I opened a few raw images of my living room on it and I have to say that canon's digital photo professional program rendered the colors (especially the leather couch) almost perfectly whereas LR gave my couch much more yellow to it than it actually is. Any suggestions please??
Use the 2010 rendering engine.
The 2012 version sucks as it plays with the mid and quartertones.
However most people have no clue that Adobe plays with your RAW files without you knowning.
I do find that is a curious statement as I have just done a comparison with a virual copy. All parameters default, just varied the process version. To my eyes 2012 is much less yellow, than 2010 or 2003. Playing with the quarter tones would have no effect on the colour. a different calibration would have more effect.
Mike Engles
Just a Photographer - "Use the 2010 rendering engine.
The 2012 version sucks as it plays with the mid and quartertones."
Don't talk nonsense. the 2012 engine is much more accurate than the 2010 version.
... and stop trying to boost yo8r self esteem by appearing clever by using terms you have no clue about. Quartertones are a musical term and nothing to do with images.
@Smeggypants, http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/782160. Maybe you should stop trying to be the Internet police.
All for the technology, but this is ridiculous and unbalanced pricing for those who don't earn their living from photography. It would be good to be able to access photos from central storage, but it's not worth doubling the cost of owning lightroom from ~$100 -> $200/yr for that feature when products like photogene exist for $3 for a perpetual license.
You mean uploaded RAW files that can be manipulated from mobile devices all over the world, yeah who would want that? also news flash Light Room is also used be pros to its not just for enthusiast
I wonder if this app will be a front end for a mainframe at Adobe actually doing the grunt work - then most of the processing overhead at the tablet or phone would be uploading/downloading and graphics rendering. It's the only way I can get my head around the price they've proposed.
I also wonder if Logmein or one of the other remote desktop programs could do something similar for less.
It certainly won't uploads RAW images to be processed on the cloud (says on Adobe's could), because it's useless without wifi, due to cost of 3G/4G, and also EXTREMLY slow with basic cable connection, through a Wifi router.
Imagine: a D610 RAW (30MB actually on my setup) will take 5 minutes to be uploaded using my cable connection (1Mbps = 100KBps approximatively). 5 minutes per picture.
A ful shoot could consume my data plan for my cable connection, but the problem is that I will have to wait for 5 or 6 days to be uploaded through my cable connection! lol
That's what is making it so confusing...... I dont understand what would make it worth so much. If you're not working on RAW files, whats the point in LR? You're going to spend $100 a year to manipulate and upload JPEGs to the cloud? I'm doing that right now for free with google+ (whether I want to or not, it seems.....).
All I can envision is that you'll upload your raw files some other way, through your computer, and then you will be able to edit them on your iPad -the processing would stay on the server while a representation would be on the tablet. But that seems trivial to me?
Yeah that should be obvious to everyone. Clearly most people would rather complain about any thing new or any potential advances in technology, than give any thought as to what this product might mean.For me this could be amazing I'm not going to buy a state of the art iMac, I use the one at the local art lab , but if could download my work there and just run the sliders on my iPad. That would be worth 99$ to me. But I also live in an area with tons of wifi
Seriously, I wonder how half the people who comment on new products and tech ever purchased a digital camera. Your trying to sound like Luddites but your into digital photography?
And yes it does use raw files downloaded cloud, it has been talked about, by adobe and acouple others for almost a year now! Wow you people are slow
Who wants their RAW editor to live in an ecosystem of planned obsolescence?
It's the best raw editor so as it turns out a lot of people. Also for those of us who aren't worried than snowden is going to steal all your photos, the cloud could offer some real advantages SUCH AS USEING AN IPAD TO EDIT RAW! and before someone says they already do that, no you don't, not effectively anyway
Why not offer raw processing power in the cloud; so you send a raw files with adjustments and sliders for various parameters and the cloud instantaneously sends back a draft which you can keep or continue to adjust?
Is this unrealistic? This might be worth $99 month if it were awesome.
It must be very nice to process 75MB files on the tablet. A real pleasure! And for only $ 99 per year. Terrific!
I'm waiting for LR phone edition or smart watch etion. It would be really nice to have it . Look it is 12,30h and .... 100RAW files was processed in .....2154 minutes.
Who needs Photoshop any more!!
Why are you people so angry at Adobe?? If you don't like what they sell don't buy it.
The problem is that we didn't know Adobe's plan to go in the cloud when we dide bought LightRoom 1 or 2, and we have now many Collections handled by LightRoom.
We need a solution to handle these Collections on the long-term, not having to face changing commercial offerings.
Hmm, love to see how it works with a heavily adjusted d800 file... No tablet is yet fast enough for proper usage.
$99 !!! not only that it's for only a year!! - These people are on LSD. And it's a bad trip!! Unbelievable!!
Just looked up some current prices for online storage, and the $99 should give you *at least* 2 terabytes to be competitive.
Another reason to think that the computer version of LR will go to a subscription-only basis.
Adobe missed the boat with their lack of effort from the early days of mobile app .......... lost that hipster clientele which is a big market. Sure some of the dedicated photo types will hop on the band wagon but that is not the direction apps are taking. Raw conversions on a smartphone why bother when there are so many preset apps for the shoot and show mob
Annual licensing? Another product I will not buy. The list grows longer...
I hope the price is incorrect. That's just despicable. As it stands you can buy the actual desktop software for under $150. If you keep the same camera body for around 4 years on average, you don't need any product updates.
So why on earth would I pay $400 for 4 years of Lightroom Mobile when I can just buy it once for $150 and use it on my computer?
Adobe's subscription service is good in that it opens up the software to people who either couldn't normally use it or would be forced to pirate it. That being said, it ultimately amounts to people spending a lot more money and you simply can't justify it by the fact that you always get the "Latest" version because people don't always NEED the "Latest" version. I have Photoshop CS6 at home and Elements 2.0 at work and honestly you can't tell they are 11 years apart. The demands we have of software and tech don't actually increase as fast as Adobe's update schedule suggests.
Lightroom is one program they can gouge people on because they keep having to add support for new camera's raw formats. If Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus could all just agree on a format or provide DNG support (I think some do) then it would be less of an issue. Most of their other software doesn't have that issue. They artificially control file compatibility for After Effects, Premiere, Flash and a few others but still there's nothing forcing people to upgrade.
I can't help wondering if the 'screen shot' was faked by a hacker. Adobe's been doing some bonehead marketing lately, in my humble opinion anyway, but this would be over the top even for them.
If the pricing is true, this is the exact same reason I did not swap from PS5 and LR4 client versions to CC (even with the 1 year special price last month) - because I'm not willing to pay $40+/month subscription price (quoted by Adobe when I called them on this) for the 2 apps after the 1 year intro price expires.
Adobe will go the way of Kodak and the others, when they don't keep up with market expectations.
How about letting me use LR on my home network first? You know, like where I actually need it.
The typical price for a high quality APP in the iPad is $10-$15 period. Adobe wants to charge 10-12 times that in perpetuity? I think that if Adobe really wants to increase their profitability, they should start packaging and selling whatever it is that they are smoking.
Yeah, right...
$99 for AN app !?!?
$99 PER(!) year!?!?
Makes me think Adobe's head got filled with their cloud...

"Syrinx" on my Birthday, January 11
Playing Syrinx on my birthday was joyful and reflective, spending time with my beloved Debussy masterpiece.
"Syrinx" at Courtly Treasures: The Collection of Thomas W. Evans, Surgeon Dentist to Napoleon III
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Feeling grateful for all the good things, including beautiful music.
I performed "Syrinx" while perusing the exhibition right before giving a recital with guitarist Gideon Whitehead at Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania. It was part of my Dolce Suono Ensemble's series of co-presented concerts with the gallery.
Our program explored the themes of Paris in the second empire and travel, with works by Verdi/Genin, Donjon, Paganini, Bosch, Dyens, Robert Maggio, and Lowell Liebermann.
"Syrinx" at the University of Virginia
In honor of Debussy's birthday on August 22 I performed Syrinx on campus at the University of Virginia, where I've just been doing archival research in the music collection of Thomas Jefferson. He founded the university in 1819, planned the curriculum, and designed the core of its campus as an Academical Village, with Georgian and Neoclassical architecture balanced with green spaces.
It was fascinating to be able to handle scores which belonged to this great Founding Father and members of his family, in the planning process for future projects for me and my Dolce Suono Ensemble.
Joyeux anniversaire, Claude Debussy!
I'm here with the score of Mozart's "Kegelstatt" trio.
"Syrinx" among Japanese prints at Arthur Ross Gallery
It was fitting to perform Syrinx at the exhibition "A Sense of Place: Modern Japanese Print" at Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania. Among the artworks displayed were works by Hiroshige and Hokusai, artists who inspired Claude Debussy.
This concert, on May 14, 2015, was one of Dolce Suono Ensemble's series at Arthur Ross Gallery, offered in conjunction with its exhibitions.
"Syrinx" with Debussy's "String Quartet"
This afternoon I attended a performance by the Aizuri Quartet at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia as part of the Curtis Institute of Music's collaboration with the Barnes. The event was offered in tandem with a wonderful exhibition of the art of William Glackens, the American painter and friend of Albert Barnes who selected artworks in Europe for the collection. The quartet premiered a new work, Parallels, by my friend the composer Alyssa Weinberg, which was her reflection on the work of Glackens. In this evocative piece, the four strings were layered upon each other like brushstrokes of differing intensity, with striking lyrical passages emerging from abstract textures. Then the Aizuri gave a beautiful performance of Debussy's String Quartet in G Minor, movements II and IV. Written in 1893, the modernity of this music is still striking today, and made a great pairing with Alyssa's new piece as well as a fitting companion to the art of Glackens. Debussy's quartet fills me with joy, but I so wanted to get into the act that I had to add my Syrinx, which you hear now with the Debussy quartet at the same time (Emerson Quartet recording).
"Syrinx" on Debussy's birthday, August 22, 2014
Today marks the birthday of Claude Debussy, born in 1862, and the first anniversary of the completion of my Syrinx Journey, my personal tribute to the great composer through daily video recordings of his masterwork for solo flute, Syrinx, with commentary on my blog.
To celebrate Debussy's birthday this year while I was performing with Dolce Suono Ensemble in residence at the Lake George Music Festival in New York, I recorded Syrinx at The Sembrich, the museum dedicated to the golden age soprano Marcella Sembrich located in her former studio on the banks of Lake George. It was fitting that I should be there, for she was a contemporary of Debussy and his songs were part of her repertoire. Fascinating memorabilia of her dazzling career fills the museum, including autographs by Brahms, Verdi, Puccini, and Mark Twain.
A photograph of Debussy hangs in the studio.
Sembrich's studio
With curator and composer Richard Wargo, who welcomed my parents and me most warmly and gave us a fascinating tour.
Bonus "Syrinx" #8 – Backstage at the Kimmel Center
I recorded Syrinx in my dressing room at the Kimmel Center in between giving masterclasses as Yamaha Flute Clinician at the Youth Education in the Arts band festival in May. It was fun working with lots of talented high school musicians. Visit my Facebook page to see photos from this event!
Bonus "Syrinx" #7 – The Union League, Philadelphia
On May 6, 2014, I performed at a Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia event honoring composer Jennifer Higdon with an award. As a board member of the Society, I was asked to put together a program of her music with my colleagues Charles Abramovic, piano, my duo pianist of 13 years, and Jennifer Beattie, mezzo-soprano. I was delighted to do this as Jennifer and I have been friends for years. The event took place at the historic Union League, a building dating from the 1860s. Before we performed, I slipped into the elegant library to record Syrinx.
Bonus "Syrinx" #6 – Le clavecin
At rehearsal wth my Dolce Suono Ensemble in a room at the Curtis Institute of Music, I realized my outfit matched the harpsichord. We played Dowland, Rameau, and Handel with harpsichord at our latest program. I was inspired for this Syrinx by Debussy's admiration for the French Baroque, and especially the way in which he drew upon such composers as Rameau and Couperin in his late, neoclassical period.
