its not on their site, it was in the press release. My guess is we may have to wait a bit, but I'll send them en email to find out.

I've always found Bridge to be cumbersome so, while I will upgrade to CS3 it won't be for Bridge. If Adobe has implemented all the things I've been reading about on their forums, Lightroom will be a godsend. I've started to take a look at the videos of v1.0 on NAPP and it is clear that many things have changed for the better. The day it is available, I plan to download the trial version and kick the tires. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be purchasing it, but why hand over the money before I have to.

ok, that makes sense, thats not where I'm coming from but atleast I understand wehre you are at. There are many RAW programs out there, some free, some require a fee. If all you want is a raw converter, I would look elsewhere then.

I think you're right...
Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that works as nice, or as feature rich as Rawshooter Premium, (or Lightroom.)

I guess on my end of things, I'll be crossing my fingers that ACR will migrate a few things to the Elements side... or that DPP will try to keep up at least a little bit....

My biggest favorite feature has been the vibrance slider in Rawshooter and lightroom... had been able to get some amazing results with a slight tweak of that slider...

Good luck to all you lightroom users though... I am still anxious to hear of your experiences with it... maybe I can be swayed for when 2.0 comes around.

Thanks for passing on any info you might find. Lightroom and a CS3 upgrade should give me more software that I don't understand how to use than I could ever hope for. I'll have to try to remember to take some pictures in between learning all the new software!

Free for me as an RSP owner. Kicking and screaming tho!
