Recently, there has been a push to get layers into LightRoom workflow. Why doesn’t Adobe just include PS Elements with the purchase of full versions of LightRoom. It would be great if it was included for FREE, but if not possible, include it as a package deal at a special price.
It would seem by getting Elements not only are you getting layers, but also there are several other features contained in the full version of PS (eg content aware + retouching tools). Since most pro commercial photographers use Pro labs that often want sRGB files, 8 bit colors in Elements should not be a problem.
IN fact, maybe Adobe should develop an online program (tutorials, forum, support, etc) to appeal to all of the New pro photographers who have recently entered the profession.

The fine print shows that the D7000 is not supported for tethered shooting on a Mac.
I saw that too, and decided to just try it and it’s been working fine.
Adobe told me today that the fine print is wrong. I tried again with my D7000 and it works. fyi – here is a link to trouble shoot tethered capture:
