Exactly! If you work with RAW camera images, that might well be reason
enough
to upgrade.
Even then I am not convinced. I have a Fuji S7000 and the CS plug-in is
not
good at all. I use S7RAW or the utility that comes from Fuji. The flip
side
is that a colleague of mine has a Nikon and the CS plug-in works very
well
indeed. Extra features that come with CS are useful to me such as the
lens
blur tool and the highlight/shadow tool. The new file browser helps
speed
up
my selections as well. Overall, as a photographer I’m happy with the
upgrade
to CS, but I could easily worked on with PS 7. Hobson’s choice.

Exactly how doesn’t Camera Raw work correctly with the S7k? I have that
and
CR works great. It’s the Fuji lite version of CR that I think is lacking.

Hi Ron
I meant that the plug-in, ver 2.4 downloaded from adobe is the one that is lacking. It gives a marked graininess to the decoded raw file in CS. Even tweaking the settings such as luminance smoothing and colour noise, the results still do not compare with the much higher quality that I get from S7raw or Fuji lite, of the last two, S7Raw gives overall the best and consistent result.

PS if anyone is interested, I can put a few examples on the web, please let me know. Thanks
