Hi! Just need a few thoughts on this. Would it be better to upgrade to CS2(cost about $450 or so to upgrade my PSEL3) or get a single dedicated Raw program like Raw shooter or Capture one. El3 and CS can open every raw file i need, except the new D200. I can get the plug in for EL3 but not for

I agree. Bridge & ACR 3.3 is an excellent improvement over PSCS. I've been working on and off for the last few of months on scanning & retoucing some very old & dirty slides. I love the healing brush :-) Dave S On 4/22/06, Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Dave, > > I'm not Dave, b

Hi Dave, I'm not Dave, but I'll jump in anyway and say that CS2 is really a darned good program. Bering able to use ACR3.3 is, IMO, a big step up from ACR2.4, which is the last version that can be used in CS. The Spot healing Brush is great - I love it - it makes working on those old TX negs a l

How do you like using CS2? I'd recommend upgrading to CS2. Personally I like to keep the number of programs needed to process my images to a minimum. If dollars are tight many people speak highly of RAW Shooter. Dave S On 4/22/06, Dave Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just need a few though
