Hi,
Will Lightroom replace ACR in PS CS3 or will that need to be purchased
seperately?

Thanks,
Ron

You do not need to purchase ACR seperately, it's part of CS3. You do
need to purchase Lightroom seperately if you want it. It does not
replace ACR (or Bridge).

They may offer CS3, ACR 4 with LR as bundled suite. But, LR will NOT replace
ACR. They are separate products with separate markets.

Are all of Adobe's CS products, PS, AI, Dreamweaver, etc., on the same
cycle? So if someone buys the CS bundle after PS CS3 is released will
they receive new versions of the entire suite?

Only Adobe can tell you.

Ok thanks. I was just curious. It would be pretty impressive if they
could keep all the CS products on the same cycle.

Brgds,
Ron

Somehow I thought LR was Adobe's merging of ACR and RSE.

Thanks,

No, it isn't. Adobe was working on Lightroom long before they bought
RSE. They did use some RSE technology in Lightroom, though.

It is Adobe's use of ACR with RSE. It is not a replacement for. If it was we
would have a beta of ACR 4 with CS3 beta which brings the editing controls
of ACR up to what LR offers.

And, it should be noted that when ACR is updated so will LR (for new
cameras). LR uses ACR and from what I gathered even uses the ACR plug-in so
when you update the ACR plug-in you also update LR. But, neither is a
replacement for the other. As I said Adobe my do a bundle where you get
Photoshop CS3, ACR 4, LR together, but that doesn't make LR a replacement
for anything. It was more an answer to Apple Aperture.

I'm trying to follow this discussion... pls, what is ACR? bottom
line, Lightroom IS a separate piece of software, right? (does not
come bundled up together w/PS? at least not CS2, right?)

thank you...

ACR=Adobe Camera RAW (Adobe's raw converter bundled with CS2 and CS3)
RSE=RAW Shooter Essentials (Adobe's recently acquired raw converter
product)
Lightroom - Adobe's newly developed raw converter targeted to I-don't-
know-who.
I looked at the beta, I liked it, it was buggy so I thought I would
convert to it when CS3 was released. Then I found out it is not to be
bundled with CS3 so my interest waned.
>From what I have read Smart Filters is the only compelling feature in

CS3 but for me that is enough - I can't wait.


Good luck,
Ron
