Well-known
I've been waiting for this one for a long time, but since I've been away on holiday and then laid up with a damaged knee this one seems to have slipped in under the radar.
Apple says shipping in 24hours, so I assume they are in the pipeline. The main improvements for me are the version of Bridge supplied with it which at long long last allows the use of saved searches and collections - Hooray!!
As I'm not generally either a snapshot or people photographer some of the other stuff may be of more limited use to me, however some of those selection tools could be quite useful for cleaning up noise or other artifacts.
The main gripe i've picked up from the various comments made is that it's not yet Universal Binary, so won't have any speed adavantage on Intel Macs. That's a shame, because my main beef with PSE 3.0 is it's slow processing of RAW files, and woeful performance in assigning keywords and captions. I was thinking of doing an upgrade to an Intel Mac from my G4, but might put it off for a while now.
Any thoughts???
