Digital Photo Professional 3.4.1...

is out on the US site, along with other updates. 3.3.x didnt last long!

EWWW nice! Going to check it out now.

Seems like a worth upgrade! Now I wish they would add a straightening tool and a downsize tool like ACR.

I find I'm starting to like DPP for 'quick and dirty' edits, I just wish the interface weren't so clunky (to me).

DPP is my weapon of choice for sports shots.
ACR was my weapon of choise for everything else until I bought a Mark III. Now I'm trying to get everything to work first through DPP then move to CS2. Seems to work pretty well actually.
Add straightening and downsizing and that would seal the deal for me.

Thanks for the heads up.

What are the improvements?

Went in and I didn't see it . Nadtz, I know it doesn't matter, but which model did you type in (want to replicate you query). Thanks

REVISED: I guess they are in the process of updating...I see it now for Mac OS X

Looks to be a lot of changes with the words "XSi/450D" in them.

Lightroom FTW.

LR is too DB reliant for my taste, makes having a single synced library on multiple (some mobile) computers something of an annoyance.

^ I'm with you on LR being DB-reliant. I ran into that with Aperture over the weekend as well. Trying to "Import folders as projects..." Man, what a disaster - and a general pain in the ass. Not to mention a bug in the latest Aperture 2.0.1 that seems to eat memory... And not release it short of a reboot (or logging out, don't recall if I tried that).

I like Bridge. Leave things where they are, let me browse stuff on-the-fly without resorting to importing, etc. Call me old fashioned...

We should for a LR haters club I trialed it and it's cool in some instances but really not worth the money IMHO.

I like Lightroom as my primary tool but also keep DPP as up-to-date as possible because it's great for simple edits & conversions.
