You can use it on a 30-day trail without a CS2 serial #.

It's Camera Raw features for digital has some nice improvements.

Haven't explored it more than that.

I really like the smart filter layers and the new and much improved photomerge. Has anyone else found anything new and good?

Actualy Walter it is a *3* day trial without a serial number... At least on my machine, I figured I'd do the serial number thing later and my countdown clock said two days left on the next re-start of the program -- so test it quick!

Good news is it is faster on my PC -- a good 20% or so during heavy lifting. ACR is excellent, uses the Lightroom interface and gives tons of adjustability. And for you B&W gurus, you now have a very cool split-toning tool right in ACR!

Cheers,
