    It's a very expensive piece of software, John. Have you considered Elements as an alternative...?

          Hi John - well, to be totally honest, if you are using LR3 and you like that, I'd stick with it. I use LR3 and nothing else now... not even CS3/5. All my processing is done in LR.

            Yes but I would like to do projects such as making my own magazine covers I don't think I can do that on LR3? I am going to stick with LR3 it's a superb program for processing.

              Ah yes, for that you will need Elements or CS. Have you thought of looking at the GIMP...? It's a free graphics app, similar to CS, and I know Nick TF uses it a lot, and is very often singing its praises. He seems to get super images from it... might be worth a look?

                    Don't forget to look at Paintshop Pro as well.

                    Since Corel have bought it they have added a lot of new features and I still find some jobs are an awful lot easier because of the better workflow

                    CS3/4/5 are great when you need real power, but sill don't class as well designed software IMO

                      Re: Advice on Adobe CS3

                      If it's any help Edmund and does not confuse you more, I have Capture One 5, Silkypix Developer Pro and Lightroom 3 raw programs, plus CS3 and Elements 9.

                      Capture One 5 gets the most use for raw conversion and CS3 gets no use at all now since getting Elements 9 .
                      Regards Paul.

                          Hello Paul it is a bit confusing but I will make a note of what you are using I am wondering having all these different programs installed on the hard disk is a good Idea. I suppose when you get the one you like one can uninstall the others it's certainly a Jar of worms! thanks for your support. JohnR.
