      Hi Julie,

      To watch our videos, you must download the Apple Quicktime plug-in. For more information about it, along with other video-based questions, take a look at our FAQ:

        Thank you for the information about the plug in. I had searched the help areas but wasn’t finding (or interpreting) a definite answer. Thanks again. I will go to the Apple site and download.

    If I am using nix software would it be best to use an organizer as apeture with photoshop and photoshop elements instead of lightroom? I switched to a Mac so am getting confused fast.I dont think iphoto has a place for organization except for online traffic, but then I am not experienced with it. Would adobe bridge be helpful. Haven’t used that in a couple years. I want a system that will work for photos and art seamlessly. I photograph my fun collage art for uploading to galleries but that is different than trying to produce some serious well done photography.

    Almost looks like the new RAW processor in Elements 11 replaces Lightroom. What would Lightroom give me that Elements 11 doesn’t?

    Also looking for Part 3. I have used Lightroom 3 for a couple of years and just upgrated to Elements 11. Both great products and I love PET.

    Is it possible to have my photos currently in PSE organizer show up in the LR library. I know I can import photos tot he library, Will this create a new library resulting in taking up doubling the disk space? Will adjust made to photos in either program be saved in both programs?

    Thank you
