Indeed, I used to use C1 pro, and this looks like it can beat C1 pro's ass. Won't replace photoshop, but is ****ing great for portraits or anything that you just want to transfer "as is" without lots of editing. I'll certainly give this a try.

Yeah, I agree. gonna make my life a hell of alot easier. Plus the whole web gallery thing looks nice (the ones in photoshop are crap)....the portfolios/proof books.

Maybe won't completely replace photsohop for advanced image editing, but will certianly be spending more time in this.

ugh websites designed for high res apple cinemas :(;)

i wish apple would release their photoshop killer soon cause i hate cs2

#324213

Yeah I agree, webgallery wise I still use Slideshow Pro with the iphoto plugin, makes it easy, but the proofing/contact sheet feature does look mighty sexy. Ack I can't wait till it ships in november.

Or it copied Dashboard, Quicktime Fullscreen, and iPhoto Slideshow. Which all belong to Apple. :P

Imagine if adobe decided to pull support from apple? apples sales would probaly half at least.

This is not a photoshop replacement, its a raw workflow program (for the most part), something which CS2 somewhat uses but not to a large extent. There are other RAW wokflow apps for mac that do the same thing (just not as nicely).

The minimum specs to run it are pretty high...probably wont run on a powerbook till the mactels grace our prescense :slant:
