<< The problem is I am now tempted to buy C1 but of course there is the new photoshop waiting in thew wings. Does anyone know if the changes in photoshop CS extend to any improvements in the RAW import? Adobe's site is a bit vague about it. Obviously if it is improved then it might be worth waiting, if not I will go ahead and get C1- a little reluctantly 'cos the processing stage is awfully slow, but the results are noticeably better. >> David,
If you work on one file at a time, want speedy conversion and can live with the tiny preview and fewer tools, then ACR will get you there quickly. C1 gives you a larger preview image, better conversion, and more tools and flexibility. However, the actual conversion is slower. The answer is the understand and use the batching capabilities of C1 and to work on a number of images before you open them in PS. If you deal with one image at a time and open immediately in PS, it is very frustrating. It's well worth studying the C1 help files as the program has hidden depths. Also excellent is the support forum on http://www.pictureflow.com/forum/ . I am impressed too by the positive response to suggestions for improving this program.
