Check out Adobe Lightroom.

ah you mean lightroom can process Raw as well? butl I am going to stick with Photoshop for now thanks though

Lightroom is for RAW files. It also catalogues your pics if you want it to. You can also non-destructively edit photos - it saves the edits seperately. And you can pull up the two side by side and compare. I have an older version of photoshop without CameraRaw, so I use Lightroom for Raw editing and PS for jpeg editing.

hehe well I think I'd rather upgrade to CS3 than installing a whole new program. That is if it wont crash too much as it does for Chantal here lol

I only recommended lightroom because it's a very small program (50mb, + 50 more for the update)

nice^^

Just a quick point...

Post production and colour correction is pretty useless unless your monitor is calibrated for daylight...

Daylight doesent effect at all atleast on my screen, different thing if someone has hs monitor next to window with sun shining from the window. Room light has little or no effect, its enough if u got your monitor calibrated. Allso if someone doesent have spyder or other calibration tools and need to use some charts, then its good to make safe edits, meaning not really dark with high contrast etc.

Yeah, I meant the monitor calibration. It needs to be calibrated to daylight (6500). You might have an option of "6500k" but its never accurate.

It makes a huge difference when printing (might be irrelevant in this discussion though lol)

i got spyder for monitor calibration, i dunno if its 6500k, but it should be correct
