In the meantime, I bit the bullet and purchased a copy of Capture One 7. I really have no idea yet if that can replace photoshop altogether. It does not work with all the plugins I have, but some of them work as a standalone, so that may not matter. Phase One says they are open to including plugins but seem to be mainly interested in plugins to work with tethered cameras than for post processing...we'll see.
I also use CPro7 but I dont think that it can work well for end to end workflow without Photoshop.
Even Acorn Editor instead of Photoshop is not sufficient IMHO.
I really think that Adobe have dropped the ball -big time-. ACR could be made to work with any version of Photoshop if they wanted but instead they have got greedy and re1uire you to upgrade the version of Photoshop.
ACR should be a stand alone chargeable product. It might be costed the same as a Photoshop Elements license but at that price they could then afford to reduce the cost of Photoshop by the same amount. But if they charged ACR at half the price of Photoshop Elements they would still make a considerable profit.
Greedy, greedy Adobe and you wonder why PirateBay exists.
