Well, after receiving my copy of PS CS2 yesterday, I’ve had a chance to play with it for about an hour or two today. Being a photographer, I was especially interested in the 32-bit HDR function. I had recently taken a particularly difficult subject for a digital camera to handle (sunrise with clouds but a fairly bright sun). After fooling with the HDR, new Exposure control, a little Gaussian Blur, the Spot Healing Brush and the Smart Sharpen (and all this didn’t take very long!), I came up with an image that I am extremely pleased with. Now, I still need to do a little refining because I was only experimenting and not being as meticulous as I normally am, but I have to tell you, I am absolutely thrilled with some of these new features, including the Bridge! Guys, Nikon can say what they want (and I’m a long-time Nikon user and now have the D2X and a D2H), PS CS2 is a must for the serious amateur and pro photographer. Nice work!! I look forward to spending more time with this program.

Good to hear it, Glenn. (Sitting here impatiently tapping fingers on desk…)

Glenn,
Are you able to open up the Nikon D2X raw files in Photoshop without having to use the $100 Nikon software? I’m thinking of
buying a Nikon digital camera.

Nikon D2X won’t be supported until ACR 3.1 is released sometime in May.

No. Ian is correct. Unfortunately you have to use NC or NV. Now, NC does give a really good image, but it’s slow, buggy and it’s a pain to have to swap back and forth. If ACR3.1 is very close in quality to NC, I’ll gladly use ACR 3.1 when it’s released. Fingers crossed :).
