Hi Ken, I suggest that anyone doing more than one or two images at a time and wants serious tools for RAW conversion to look into C1 Pro or at least C1 SE. If you are converting 1 or 100 files the workflow and interface of C1 is much better than PS-CS's ACR 2.X and C1's converted RAW image files are cleaner with more shadow detail and retained highlights than even the new and improved release of ACR for PS-CS. While ACR 2.1 is a BIG improvement over the as shipped PS-CS ACR v2.0 it still trails C1's conversion quality by quite a bit. PS-CS ACR 2.0 had a problem with noise, color shifting and green blobs and other artifacts. If you then consider the workflow advantages (i.e.. time savings), of C1 vs. ACR there is really no contest. On an other note, BB's current release v2.8 has surpassed YARC+'s frozen v2.3a7 for image conversion quality. With Adobe's recent release of PS-CS ACR v2.1 ACR has pulled out well in front of the Canon SDK based converters like FVU, BB and YARC+ converters. Well in front! If you are still using Photoshop 7.x but cannot swing the extra $200-$400 to buy into Phase One's Capture One DSLR at the very least get the upgrade to PS-CS and get the new PS-CS ACR v2.1 plug-in from the Adobe site. Your prints will thank you for it!
