It finally came! Photoshop CS2 is now installed and running on my machine! Wowsa! A brief look at shadow/highlight has me scratching my head in amazement. I can't BELIEVE this nifty tool was ruled basic-legal, jejejeâ�¢. It definitely reinforces my opinion that tone-mapping of a single exposure should also be basic-legal (which in fact it is). A brief foray into shadow/highlight suggests that when used on a single exposure (not an HDR composite) it is very much in the same ballpark as Photomatix tone mapping.

One thing I notice is that my PS7 drop-down of thumbnails isn't there anymore. has this been replaced by Bridge?

Anyone have any advice/suggestions/tips for what i should be looking for in this new-to-me program?

Robt.

Just cross the bridge and you're in.
I've used the bridge ever since.

I shoot all my pictures in Raw plus .JPG-Fine
In the Bridge, I usually, preview them at the side-by-side, scrolled to the largest thumbnail sized

Cheater. I had hoped I had changed it enough to hide from a casual Google search :-(

Yeah I am a little ashamed ... I will try harder the next Quote. But it did get me to read the poem and some more of his work.

I was equally disappointed. Bridge is nice, but it is not convienent having to flip to bridge to see your thumbs. If there is a way to get the old behavior, I haven't found it.

CS3 installing as we speak; talk about a quantum (if temporary) upgrade!

I don['t see a problem with that; open Bridge and it lives in the taskbar anyway; one click and it's there, just like the other. Just a different locale to click...

Ahh, I don't know what feature it is you are missing then. Thumbnails for me were in a drop down box within CS. No separate application hovering around consuming resources.

Shadow/highlight was actually one of the first PS tools I played with, and I love it. Now I just need to learn how to get the most from it (and the rest of PS)
