I've had it since last Wednesday. **** me, it is cracking good stuff.

It is worth it just for the RAW import, the new shadow/highlight tool, the Photo filters and the browser. Add to that 16-bit processing for most normal touch-up/adjustment work and it is a winner.

Well worth the full price, but Amazon seem to have the best price at the moment.

Don't bother trying to use a hookey copy, you need to Activate it (painless) to get it to work past 30 days.

Cheers

Ian

I bought a full copy. Well, I say "I", but I actually mean work bought me a copy for some work stuff I'm doing (honest boss).

If you have PS 5,6 or 7 the upgrade is much cheaper, e.g. £125 from Adobe.

Cheers

pffft wont take em long to get round that. Then it might be time for me to upgrade.

One thing i wont do is pay £125 for something i use once every few months. Usually do most things i need to do (i.e. pics from cam) in MS Photo Editor LOL.

Ian, I think your anti-piracy stance is admirable.

Hmmm..... I was wondering about getting an upgrade - I'm just not sure how it will react to a serial number which is not entirely unique.

Not quite sure what you mean there Alistair... If you own it and have installed it on more than one machine you should still be able to upgrade despite breaking license conditions.

If it's a key you've downloaded from the net, Adobe has been known to stop the product working after patching of an install using known pirated keys so they are actively doing something about this.
