    Good news indeed! I wasn't looking forward to having to stump up €200 odd after a discount, but €0 talks to me! Now all I need to do is start feeding the piggy bank so's I can afford a new computer to run the thing :)

    By all accounts it'll be a pig to run. I wonder how long it'll be before the EU makes a ruling on Adobe? I mean they pulled Microsoft up on their business model, and now it seems that Adobe are going down the same road, accquiring Macromedia and Pixmantec too. Probably not quite the same thing though.

    I posted on the RSP forum to see what the specs might be and got the following response from Michael Tapes:
    2 - While I do not know what the final Windows system requirements will be, I think that I can safely say nothing special.... Meaning a relatively modern Motherboard, with a minimum of .5GB RAM, preferably 1-2GB. If certain RSP technology is incorporated, maybe the SSE instruction set will need to be supported. (all but early AMD processors do). Again, just my educated guess from observations.

    So it probably won't run very happily on half a gig of RAM, but should at least run.

    Heheh, I should be ok with me 2Gb for the minute so. I've signed up for the beta, which I'm eager to get hold of, but ultimately it's just another piece of software to learn, more time, more 'how to get the most out of Lightroom' ebooks to read etc, etc....
    Why can't they leave things the way they were, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Yep, that's what bugs me most. The thing I liked so much about RSP was that it was so easy to use, and you could rip through a lot quickly. Yes, it had its problems, mainly with colours (red were very tough to get right, and to get half decent skin tones you had to do some very unobvious things - on a 300D at least). I tried some of the competition. Bibble I find to be buggy, even though it does have the big plus of running on Linux, and I don't much like the workflow. DPP is just a huge memory hog, not very flexible, and changes the raw file, though does give really nice colour.

    I'm hoping to hold out for a PC until Vista gets released, though that's being put on an ever longer finger, so I might not be able to hold out that long, as my Win2K box with a mere 384Mb of RAM will probably burst at the seams (ah for the days when Commodore used to make a big deal about the C64 having a massive amount of memory - ok showing my age now :) )
