a little off topic from the OP, sorry
| Quote: | | Could you post a link to that picture, or post it here? It's always neat to "strut your stuff" online....speaking of which, I have a picture a buddy took of me photographing the Vice President of the US (Richard Cheney) when he was here on December 6th (also happens to be my birthday!), I oughta post that! LOL!!!! |
Well.. my real "stuff" is arty.. I don't post it. Print only.
BUT, along the same line I do have a really poor pic I took of me and the previous VP, I'll try to scare it up to post. I hope I still have it somewhere...
It shows what a truly appalling photographer I am. lol.
And happy birthday!

|
|
i have a PC and it smokes CS2. The only issue i have had is when launching...it takes a good 60 seconds to get by the "reading preferences" part. Granted i have a really nice system with 64bit dual pentium 4's, 2 gigs of ram, and a quadro FX 1400 PCI-Express graphics card.
I hate to offend any mac users out there. But this PC dances circles around my mac. I use Maya (resource heavy 3D design program) as well as photoshop and many other resource extensive apps. This particular PC setup i have....handles it all with ease.
although there may be some issues with CS2 (i have heard of some issues with graphic cards) ...beware of mythical nonsense. PC's handle it fine. In my case, better than any OSX system i have worked on.
I agree about the "Bridge". i find it VERY annoying that this is our only option for browsing now. I have seldom used it because of the inconvenience of being a seperate app. I was very disappointed that adobe just did away with the file browser.

bridge SUCKS.
on my PC, with a athlon 2500+ and a gig of ram, it takes like 20 seconds for bridge to fire up. In the old file browser, it took like a second. MAybe two.
I'm not sure if bridge in in CS and CS2 or just CS2. I find it rather inconsequential though. The only point of using the file browser was that before winXP "my computer" would not show thumbnails. Now that I'm using winXP I can just use thumbnail view in the "open" dialog. And of course OSX had big, beautiful thumbs.

Ok, so...what have we learned here? I'm rather confused at the moment...started off as if CS2 was bad, and CS was better. Then CS2 came from behind and started to make a run for the front. Then CS kept it's lead. Then CS2 took the lead. Then "Bridge" came along and tripped up CS2, giving the lead back to CS. Then CS2 took the lead back by making bridge work fine. Then Bridged sucked again and CS took the lead.......
Ummmm....where was I going with this horse race...oh ya, so, dealing with 6-48 mb files, which is better and will bridge work fine? Better yet, which one would/do you prefer?
Oh, and my work machine specs follow:
P4 3.06 HT 800mhz fsb/1mb L2 cache
dual 80GB drives 7200rpm
ATI 64MB card (9200?)
2GB pc3200 ddr 400 ram
genuine Intel mobo
300w powersupply (vantec?)

It could be a photo finish!!!!! lol
But seriously it seems CS2 need a higher spec PC to run really well, even my old museum piece PC would run 7.0, but my "good spec" pc is finding CS2 slow (very slow compared to CS)
Personaly I hate bridge compared to the old file browser, it's slow to open, it has the annoying habit of rotating images, which fools you into thinking they are really rotated (which they arn't) I don't find the ability to colour tag images very usefull (although some might) and for me it's over complicated, why would I want to make ajustments in bridge when I have photoshop? I suppose if you moving images between PS and illustrater a lot it's probably a good idea. Wayne

Bridge is useful for many people, but not so for my set-up. I wish Adobe had left the old Browse intact as a quick alternative to launching Bridge.
