Anyone have this book?

I'm thinking about picking it up, but i'm still using CS, although probably not for much longer. I know there will be references to bridge, which is unavailable in CS, but aside from that, do you think there is value to the CS user?

Thanks

I'm actually in the reverse situation--I read the CS edition, but have CS2. Based on that, I'd say it's absolutely useful across versions--the bulk of the info is not related to version-specific controls, and the parts that are should be simple to figure out. If you're headed to CS2 anyway, it would make more sense to get the CS2 book than the CS version.
You could also see if your library has a copy of the CS version, and browse through that for some of the CS-specific bits?

Overall, an excellent resource--I even found the concepts applicable to using Pixmantec's RawShooter.

I think it is one of the best RAW books around. Much of the infomation applies to everyone shooting RAW regardless of what version or even what software they use. Highly recomended... Good luck~

to be honest I didnt really use raw until i upgraded to CS2, so I cant really comment on the two versions, but I think for the most part you will be fine with the CS2 book. I am almost finished it, and am using it to study for the Photoshop ACE exam and it has been a HUGE help. I highly recommend it.
