I guess the question for me is whether to upgrade from CS5 to CS6 now while I have the opportunity despite the fact that my photoshop use has decreased dramatically. Anyone see this as an advantageous move and why? Lloyd Chambers says if you don\'t own CS6 to get it now while you can.
Yes, many advantages. For one, ACR will continue to be updated for a while to support new cameras in CS6 whereas that is no longer the case for CS5. ACR 7 has many advantages and features over ACR 6 used in CS5. Finally, there are a few \"wow\" features in CS6:
I am very close to upgrading to CS6 now, only to stay at the same platform as \"everybody else\" for future compatibility.
Speaking of new features, one I would really want is support for writing a custom convolution / deconvolution / resampling kernel. Does anybody know why we don\'t even have a Lanczos kernel? Are there patents involved?
Seems like I read it\'s actually part of the ACR sharpening algorithim depending on settings. Maybe high amounts of using the \"Detail\" slider (in combination with higher \"Amount\" value) will give it?
These settings work good to mimic a strong deconvolution sharpening look in ACR 7:
Amount 60
Radius 0.7/
Detail 70
Masking 20
