[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Australia, being an advanced culture, has a series of Belgian Beer Cafes
where the thirsty photog may choose from a very large range
of Belgian beers (and good upmarket pub food) and give thanks to those hard
working and drunken monks that authored these creations.
Oh and CS2 is worth the upgrade in my opinion. Bridge for picture
organisation (if you don't have another prog for this), the spot
healing brush is superb, smart sharpen is a big step forward, better
integration with the rest of the creative suite if you use
those other apps..
Regarding the upgrade, if you have the serial number, you should be able to
check with Adobe whether it has been registered/ is a
legal copy.
Cheers

Surely the only question really relevant for this list is WHICH Belgian
beers? ;)

I think you're right: I had the CS version and upgraded it to the CS2
version. Not much differences for the average user.
It's faster if your processor can follow... See http://
www.barefeats.com/cscs2.html.
But I suspect that you don't work regulary on very heavy images (+300
Mb)
File Browser has been replaced with Bridge, but I'm not very fond of
it. Many arent't I have the impression.
There's one thing that really is interesting if you do a lot of
retouching -which I know you don't-: the spot healing brush.
Also an inbuilt noise reduction tool, and intelligent sharpening.
If you want to go into detail: http://www.adobeevangelists.com/pdfs/

Cheers (also literally with all the Belgian beer you can buy form
this upgrade :-),
