I miss curves in ACR. 3.x when working in ACR 2.x. But I find I can get fairly close with just the sliders in the old ACR and then touch up with curves in PSCS once the file is open. I'm sure there are minor technical differences in the way the tonal gradations are accomplished, but it's nothing I can see. Still, I'd like to have the new software. I do prefer Bridge to the Browser, and I want to try Smart Sharpening and the PSCS2 noise reduction.
