After the Lightzone upgrade to 3.0 and its latest updates (3.0.6), I WILL NOT BE UPGRADING TO CS3. The new "relight" tool and other improvements have overcome most of my earlier complaints. Since I am on a PC, I also can use Picture Window Pro for functions that Lightzone still lacks like masks. Also PWPro has the Color Mechanic function that lets you remove color cast from an image very quickly...this particularly useful for cleaning up images shot under fluorescent lighting.
