I haven't seen the curve tool, yet. But that's not to say it
isn't in there. But, I do like the organizer in it. I'm sure it's not
at the level of Lightroom, but it's certainly beyond anything Picasa has
to offer. It's going to take some getting used to, as there seems to be
a fairly steep learning curve in moving from Picasa to Elements. But,
it does have a lot of the editing options that Photoshop 7 has, albeit
with slightly less fine controls.
I figure I can do the bigger part of my DNG editing in Elements, and
then kick it over to 7 after I've converted it to .jpg format for any of
the more intricate work. I haven't tried bringing any of my old
plug-ins over, yet. I suspect the majority of them won't be supported,
but I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Hoo, boy. Pretty nifty.
IIRC the newer versions of Elements have some of the tools the big
brother has, like curve tool etc.
Am i right here.

Sorry but PS7 is not capable of being used with any version of ACR

are easy to mistake as saying the opposite.
I don't use much other than Lr3 these days, but if you are seriously
strapped for cash, dcraw is free, open source and works well.

Later in the thread
(http://photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00WXvS?start=10), though, they
mention that the converter is "super crude" -- whatever that means.
Idunno. I'm in the process of downloading a trial version of Elements 9
and will tinker around with it for 30 days, or so. If I like it and have
the extra cash to spend on it, I'll go ahead and register it. If not, I'll
use a freeware, or cheap& dirty alternative.

Thanks! Although, to my infinite consternation, I've discovered
there's no way to get Photoshop 7 to handle DNG files, and I can't
afford to plunk down the requisite cash for any of the more recent Adobo
releases. They're a tad spendy.
Picasa 3 will handle them, of course, but then I'm stuck with some
pretty limited options with regard to editing. I suppose I could use
Picasa to export them in .jpg format, but I wonder how much I'll be
giving up by using it to do the conversion.
Any (extremely affordable) suggestions?
There's something very wrong here.
I bought Photoshop 7 and installed it on my laptop while I was in Iraq,
and I know that I downloaded the free stand-alone DNG converter when Adobe
announced it and used it with Photoshop 7.
Prior to getting Photoshop 7 and installing the stand-alone DNG
converter, I was using the Pentax software that came with the *ist-D.
I probably didn't shoot more than a half dozen raw images with the *ist-D
while I was deployed (shot mostly TIFF& JPEG) so I'm pretty hazy about how
i used the DNG converter, but I remember it being announced.
I remember downloading and installing it and giving it a try.
