Worth upgrading from 3 to 5? Adobe don't have a comparison chart or summary of what's so great about 5 that I'd jump from 3. Thanks, Alan.

I'm actually waiting for a CS2 sale to buy that. But if 5.0 would have CYM info, for example, that alone would be worth $69.99 to me for skin tones. (It, like 3.0 has RGB info, but not CYM).

Seems to have all kinds of General workflow recipe improvements but little to help me with more exacting work. 3. Will do until I get CS2.

I never tried 4 since 3 was such a bloated slug. Was 4 any better or just more code bloat full of features no one will use? > I never tried 4 since 3 was such a bloated slug. Was 4 any better or just > more code bloat full of features no one will use? 3 is a bloated slug on a Pentium Celeron at 2.4 GHz but runs nice and smooth on a Dual Core Athlon at 2.2 GHz. But your comment reflects why I never upgraded to 4 and why I want to know the benefits of 5 before even considering it. Given the link that Bill Crocker posted and what I found there, there is no good reason for upgrading. I've been waiting for the next CS upgrade so that I could buy the "exit price" CS2...

Sometimes they actually clean up bugs, and optimize code, and in rare cases re-write it in a totally different programming language, resulting in a much faster, smoother performing application. >>> Worth upgrading from 3 to 5? >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > cases re-write it in a totally different programming language, resulting > in a much faster, smoother performing application. As I have v2.0. whose browsing facility is so slow one could fall asleep, is it faster in V5.0? Old Paintshop Pro beats hell out of it for fast browsing. Eddie >>>> Worth upgrading from 3 to 5? >>>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > is it faster in V5.0? Old Paintshop Pro beats hell out of it for fast > browsing. When I shot jpeg I used irfanview for browsing and launched photoshop elements 2.0 with Ctrl+E. I still have PE 2.0 on my machine because it launches so fast for quick things - I love the paste as new image - and I also have CS2 as well as the old CS (so I can work on images while CS2 is in batch).

Alan, If you need the most current Adobe RAW converter you may have to upgrade. I also understand the have curves and a couple of other features that used to be only available in Photoshop. PSCS2 really wants at least 1.5g of RAM. Works well on my 2.7 Athlon with that. Is a little slower on the Pentium Mobile 1.7 at work with 1g of RAM. If you really want Photoshop, Adobe used to upgrade from PSE for $350-400, worth checking the Adobe site.

I just added 1 GB to my dual core Athlon for a total of 2 Gb. So no issue there. I know of that upgrade, I'm just parsimoniously waiting for the "end of line" sale they usually have before a major CS upgrade. There's also the "student" angle where I can use my son as the student.

Hi Alan, Have you looked at Lightroom? I have had a short run with beta 4 and it looks OK although needs a decent PC to run. Supposed to be released 1st Q 2007.

I'm reluctant to leave the Adobe/Photoshop world as I'm used to it, happy with it. I've tried other photo editors and I'm never as happy with the methods nor the results as I am with PS.

PS CS2 = $290, full CS2 = $380 http://www.academicsuperstore.com/market/market.html?category_id=267840 Or this promo that's targeted at Sony Vaio users with PSE bundled. No idea if they match the PSE serial number against Sony OEM licenses http://store.adobe.com/store/products/master.jhtml?id=catSony1002&ref=Hero Cheers, Richard >> I'm reluctant to leave the Adobe/Photoshop world as I'm used to it, >> happy with it.

Isn't this a DSLR group? :-P :-) >> Worth upgrading from 3 to 5? >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Isn't this a DSLR group? :-P :-) Indeed it is and PS Elements is a photo editing tool that reads directly from my camera. Relevant, IOW.
