[QUOTE="Midnight Rider, post: 1198232, member: 194453"] Good to know about your MBP with the C2D. The new Quads should be a good upgrade from that. Bridge is an organizer and ACR is a raw processor. LR3 is redundant with both of these since it was built off of them but IMO they still hold advantages over LR3. ACR is a lot faster and proficient at batch work IMO. It may be that I was using it before LR came out and I am use to it for the big jobs. LR3 is a very powerful organizer and all of my photos are originzed by event, date, tags and ect but to be honest all Lightroom is, is Bridge and ACR with a slick interface. I like different parts of each software so I guess that is why I use them all together and no one has taken me over. Also you are right there is nothing that Portrait pro can do that CS4 can not. It is just that Portrait Pro is a lot faster at it. The only downside is that I can not save my work with all the layers for later. If you ever want to revisit an image I have to start back with the original RAW file. After much debate I have decided to go with the high res matte screen. The reason behind it is because even though the matte finish may be harder to calibrate the glares are really annoying. I would also love to get something that looks like my Samgung monitor. It is a high res matte screen. I may be setting the bar a little high by hoping that the MBP screen compares to it but I hope it is close. [/QUOTE]
