On the 5DMkIII you would be able to do this, because they fixed Auto ISO in 'M' mode  You could also try the following: Get a good manual Lens, where you can adjust the Aperture on the lens, set the Camera to 'S' and set your shutter speed, then activate AutoISO. I think I have one in my shelf somewhere, I'll try if I can find it.

Unfortunately, the 5D Mark II Auto ISO feature is bugged, and does not work in 'M' mode - you can activate it, but it will be stuck at ISO400.

Anyway, just in case I had opted them out, I went into 'Bulk Edit Prices', and it has totally changed since the last time I was in there, and I can find no way to 'bulk edit prices' or opt in or out iPhone cases:
Bulk Edit: Click Behind the Scenes/Bulk Edit prices Click 'Show All Images' Select the upper left checkbox (above the single image checkboxes). A new check box appears, saying 'Select all x images on all y pages.' Click it, and you can change for all images in one go.

It's a bit restricted, I think you can only move to/from locations that are known to Lightroom and contain managed files. It's also quite slow, for a large number of files it would be faster to you Finder and then Relocate the images in LR.

I don't know on PC, but on Mac if you move a file from an HD to another you don't "move" the file, but you make a "copy" of it.
The result is that you will have the same file on both HDs Only if you copy them. Of course you can move files on a Mac (and the original will be removed), just hold the cmd-Key while dragging. This behaviour is actually the same on Windows, standard action in Finder and Explorer is Copy, a Move requires to hold down a key - CMD on Mac, Shift i Windows (so with normal Drag-Drop you are NOT moving, merely copying). This applies to cross-device operations, if you drag-drop on the same device, it will be a Move on the Mac (and Windows), even without the Cmd-Key.

Yes, they added some really neat stuff in LR 4 and 5  Can't live without it, many things can be done in LR now that needed PS in the older versions.

You cant, because its an image of your HDD. If you move a folder on your HDD, then LR loses the link with the folder. And you cant drag a folder in LR to another location either because LR has no physical locations.
Wrong, wrong and wrong LR will lose the Link to the file if you move it in Finder, it will keep all Info if you move it in Lightroom. LR knows about all physical locations, maybe you should try open the 'Folders' view on the left side LR is not an image of your HDD, it is a Database (LR Catalog) with references to the physical locations of the images on your Computer. I do this quite often, maybe you should try and see that is quite possible to do so

Of course you can drag folders in Lightroom, I do this every time I import to my iMac HDD instead of the server drive. You do it in Library/Folders - just drag&drop in new location. But I never tried this for USB drives, just local and server. You don't have to use the 'Locate missing folders' this way.

Personally, I couldn't do business without using 4 or 5 of the core Adobe apps every day so for me this makes a lot of sense. I subscribed 7 months ago and I'm absolutely loving it. New features and fixes added to Illustrator in real time? Yes please! I also really enjoy getting to use the new products under development particularly the new web/mobile development tools. I think if you are using a technology professionally it really pays to be keeping up with current tools and best practices.
At first I was very wary of the idea of "renting" software, but my experience so far has changed my mind. This model definitely has an audience that it makes sense for, but I do think they should be offering some more flexible option for people who don't want the latest and greatest or an ongoing cost.
I wouldnt mind renting either, but the price is too steep for me. If I checked correctly, CS6 alone will cost me 37 euro a month. Too dear. If it would cost me 20 euros or dollars a month, I wouldnt have a single doubt and subscribe.
For PS only subscription: - If you rent only PS, it would cost 25 Euro per Month (yearly subscription, billed monthly). - If you have a VAT ID (UmsatzsteuerID in Germany), it's actually 19,99 per month, because VAT will not be charged from your credit card. - If you want the monthly subscription (which really makes no sense to me) it's the 37 Euros. - If you already have CS3 or newer, you'll get it for 12 Euros (10 without VAT) for the first year. Those CC prices can be a bit confusing at first, so many options

Does anyone know what happens to the third party plug-ins such as Nik software when PS is subscribed?
All Plugins still work the same way, I use quite a few and had no problems. For the plugin, PS is PS, no difference between subscription and bought versions.

Im not really a fan of this at all, but the only perk I can see is the 2 licenses thing, 1 for desktop 1 for laptop.
But a question on this - does anyone know for sure if you can have 1 license Mac and 1 license PC under the same subscription?
My wife still has a PC 
if you could have one a pc and one of a mac that's a +1 for this new system.
Yeah I agree, just haven't heard a definitive answer if you can though? It SEEMS that way, but I'd want to be sure.
Yes, that's no problem. I did this before I had the MB Pro, I used to have a HP Laptop with Win7. No Problems to mix 1 Mac + 1 PC.

If you have a computer hardware problem, like in my case I upgraded a motherboard, and didn't deactivate the software package first, you will have to call them or use the chat to allow the upgraded computer to use the software.
This is no longer necessary with Adobe Cloud. The process is much simpler now, you can activate your new installation, and the old ones will be disabled even if the computer is not online or even defective. I had to do that a few times (switching between 3 computers), it's much easier than with the old box versions.

I use Bridge too, and order my keywords by relevance. On FT, they always show up in the order I entered them.

I started with FAA at the end of 2010. I think it takes a year or so until you start to see any sales. I had 3 sales in 2011, 38 in 2012, and 9 in 2013 so far. I do not participate in contests, I am not a member of any group, and I do no marketing at all, except the automated Facebook post of new images. You really need patience (and some pictures people would hang on their wall  , it's not Upload-and-sell-instanly like Shutterstock

Bigstock was by far the worst site for me. I can't check because my account is closed now, but I think it was about 50 downloads in 2012 ...

I had only about 1200 images there, but I just deactivated all files that ever had a sale (and some more, 500 now), and I am going to deactivate the rest during the next week. I don't care if they start to listen or make up their mind, I am out of there for good.

At least on SS, if yours is the free photo of the week, you WILL have a lot more sales than usual, I had 3-4x more paid sales during that week, and still double in the following week. Even for the free photo, you'll get a lot of paid downloads, and it will push your work up the search ranks. I did it 3 or 4 times there, and hope they will ask again soon What I wouldn't do is to offer files as permanent free downloads, as you can do on DT or Fotolia ... - Nailia
