Whenever you buy an academic version of Adobe software it shows "Academic" on the splash screen as it loads. I'll take Marnie's word that the software itself is bo different other than in the packaging. I'll guess that the registration key contains data that identifies the software as either commercial or academic. Lightroom, as a combined raw conversion and databses/archiving tool, is indespensible to me now. Photoshop is the closest thing to a true monopoly in the sowfware world. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
