But I'm just getting used to CS4.

Hmmm, I just figured out CS2....

Thing i hate about Adobe CS, is once a new version comes out they stop near enough straight away supporting the older version.

 

[Streetshooter]

Razer, Thats why I committed to LR.
I hate being forced to upgrade but one has no choice.
If LR ever gets to do Actions, I'll drop PS.

Your right there Streetshooter.

I think Lightroom (once you spend a year learning it) is one of the few true value packages from Adobe.

Elements is also now very much up there as doing most things that a photographer could want, but for me its missing actions! and when processing a lot of images, time is money.

Adoble will never put actions in Elements or LR as they would then loose a massive % of their CS market.

Yikes, that seems fast! I too will be upgrading to LR3 but sticking with my current PS version for quite some time to come.

 

[hohoho]

Gimp offers pretty good value for money too. And financially at least, upgrades are utterly painless.

 

[Streetshooter]

Yeah but, Adobe has that addicting thing going.
If you use it long enough, ya have to have it.
LR will never have actions. I was amazed that the let plug ins work.
I do less ans less in PS but what I need there will never be in LR...
Tsk tsk.... What to do?
Pay for 2 upgrades again.
