Robert-
That's exactly what makes me nuts. I would skip lots of upgrades except for the required raw codes in ACR...but after this last debacle, I found there are lots of raw converters that are much quicker to upgrade than adobe and some of them are actually significantly better... So why upgrade at all?
Hate to say so, but I have been banging on for ages about this.
Why upgrade from a software package that does MORE than most of us ever need?
I have operated professionally with CS3 since it came out. I have CS6 on the same computer but I invariably go to the devil I know.
Familiarity with your software is far more important than having the latest bells and whistles.
Sorry...it's a mugs game chasing upgrades when you don't fully utilise the package you have.
The ONLY reason for upgrading CS (apart from any speed improvement) is to keep ACR compatibility....which is a feeble reason, borne of Adobe greed.
So I am all for using an independent raw converter...but then work in CS.
