Yea, it is a very new program, but I know there has been a beta version available for 6 months or more....

I am considering it for some post-processing work of RAW images, assembling photo galleries for the web, etc. Intro price is *fair* ($200), supposedly integrates w/PSE easily, and allows me to keep my anal-retentive method of organizing photo's on my hard disk. Basically, it appears to be Adobe's answer to Aperture...but you get to use this one on a PC (kinda important since I don't own a Mac).

So, is anyone using it? Good, bad, indifferent?

I have a thread in here looking for tips on RAW processing and I've decided to go with the Canon software.

I've got it and like it. It really sped up my work flow for post processing. The beta version was pretty slow with a library of RAW images from my D200 though - hoping this is fixed in the release version.

Here is a good review:

by no means I'm any expert on editing software. So from a newbies point of view, I thought the beta version was really easy to use.

I'm no expert either....so far it is working out OK. I still have some bugs to work out, but so far I am happy. Happy enough to part ways with the $$$ at the end of the free 30 day trial? maybe.....
