i have never run an upgrade but the calibration should not be affected by PS in any way and yes upgrading keeps a lot of flies of the older versionWhat happen and the reason Adobe told me was that the two programs shared configuration files and you'd lose them if you uninstalled one or the otherAnd I didn't want to lose what I already had set up and had the HD space so I just kept it. But I couldn't extract just CS3 without affecting CS4, esp. my monitor calibration which is one thing I didn't want to do again.... it was bad enough first time through
I understand lis, it wasn't the normal calibration but part of the common files and of course there were other things I didn't want to change as well. At any rate, it was a moot point because that was on the machine that crashed. They may have a 'clean uninstall' now - I'll check into it. Still probably won't install until I decide. The 'upgrade' is just the regular PS btw, same program - just the price is different.
At least, Yes
I could 'upgrade' to CS5 extended for @$300 and CS5 for @$150... without fully doing the 'shopping'..... I was looking at doing some cinemagraphs - I could load Image Ready from CS2 that has the gif stuff and then just stay with CS4 but I've been looking over some of the features on CS5 and watching some Russell Brown videos and some of it looks pretty cool.... the puppet tool and advanced masking looks much better as well as motion blur fix. I always had Focus Magic for that and general sharpening as well. Have you ever seen the Topaz third party plugins? I helped develop some of those with the Wang brothers that own it.
I know. I'm sorry to hear.
Didn't mean to pry, Kent.
No problem - you and Fran are the only ones here that didn't know. Just against the rules to discuss. If interested PM me.....
I have Topaz it is great, i was trying fluid mask but topaz is much better ,about Russell brown his videos are amazing ,short ,funny and you learn a lot of trick from him , he is really aimed on his lessonsAt least, Yes

Topaz had a rough start but they've really developed into a good plugin company - Eric and Albert are great and great to work with. When Buzz/Buzz Pro, etc. went under, I helped them develop the same look as a buzz treatment - buzz 'simplify' - at one point they had one of their saved out defaults as 'Kent's buzz'
Looks like this:
And we refined it until getting really close to the same result reverse engineering the result. I have a universal key to all Topaz plugins for my work with them on that and other stuff - esp. the noise reduction - which was a hard market to crack with Noise Image and Noise Ninja at the time dominating that particular market - but I think they pulled it off - their color noise reduction (esp. important to Canon users) is better than any I had seen at the time - things may have changed. Some of the initial samples were here:

... and then 'next' and 'next' for four images. NI in the file name is neat image and while it takes the noise away, it's too 'smooth' and loses detail unlike Topaz....
You guys are way out of my photoshop league. I mostly use it to make figures at work, and the fancy stuff is pretty much verboten. I can do the basics and a bit of fancy, but only for fun, when I have time
I love the image you just posted Kent

I've been browsing their talk of C3, C4 and C5s and 
That is how good I am with graphics!

No, no, go ahead, good to see experts at work. But I'm still here, lurking anyway.
I was just saying I don't know much...of anything.
