Default I'm upgrading!

I finally decided it's time to upgrade my software. So, I'll finally have CS4 and Lightroom 2 in about a week. (I opted for the boxed versions) I'm excited!

You will love LR2! I have CS3, so I don't know how many differences there are, plus I don't know the half of what I have. I just bought Scott Kelby's LR book, but haven't even started yet. Good for you!!!! Have fun with it

Betting your will just LOVE the new stuff and changes in CS4!! The content aware scaling is really something very cool and they have improved a lot of the basics.

Still haven't made that LR jump yet but it's on my list of todos

Good for you! I got CS2 and less than a year later, CS3. I'm still learning all the neat stuff in that edition so CS4 will just have to wait a while. I'm happy for you though!

Sounds fun to see what the new software has in it. You will have to let us know what the changes are.

I have CS2 and LR1 too, Angie. I initially planned to just upgrade to LR2, but that shopping bug bit me. Luckily I'll be able to count it as a business expense.

I am feeling your excitement as I'm going to be upgrading from CS2 to CS4 within the next week.

Question - should I buy the version in the box, or just download the program when I buy it?
