Paul, Camera Raw v3.x implemented major improvements, particularly for batch processing, over the v2.x generation along with CS2's Bridge workflow application, if you want to stay in a Photoshop + Camera Raw processing workflow. Camera Raw v4.x along with the CS3 generation of Bridge as well provide major improvements. Photoshop CS2 and CS3 both perform better even on the same hardware as what you've got now. It really is time for an update.
But I find Lightroom to be as capable as either and the UI is more to my liking. The image management facilities and easy processing of huge numbers of files at once is very useful, and its non-destructive editing model saves disk space overall. Aperture does a similar job on the same order as Lightroom ... some like its tools better. Godfrey On Mar 21, 2008, at 9:18 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks Godders. I'm just curious.
