Where was this when I needed it the most. After looking at a short Adobe video on camera RAW for CS5 I had to try it myself on some old photos shot in virtual darkness. Way under exposed due to low level arena lighting. Shot at ISO 1600, f2.8, 1/200 of a second on the shutter. Camera - Canon 20D. I had someone shoot for me this particular night as I had a conflict to be somewhere else. Even shooting one ISO more this image would have still been very dark.
First the file with no exposure correction
Same exact photo with CS5's RAW auto exposure adjustment
After shooting 10's of thousands of these night time shots, which I no longer do, the tool seems to have arrived. The next test will come hopefully Saturday shooting some pelicans on a hard to capture background. We shall see what it can do with a daylight RAW image.
cs6 is even better, check the beta out. .... they really did a great job on the seperate black,white,shadows and highlight sliders.
everything is so user friendly for photoshop dummies like myself.
the new contant aware tool is worth the price of admission alone. i was going to stay with my cs5 but after getting to play with 6 im going to upgrade.

I have watched some video on CS6 already and I like what I see. I need to upgrade from CS2. Right now I can upgrade to CS5. I just hope They will allow upgrades to CS6 from CS2. Even with CS5 64 bit I can handle the extra large files I need to work with. I sometimes go over the old 4GB limit of tiff formats and use Adobe's large file format. My next test is going to be on a very large file to see how CS5 handles it with just an external USB 2 scratch drive with this quadcore cpu.
I've ran another test with this 64bit version of photoshop. From a 4x5 Fuji Astia positive scanned on an Epson 750 Pro M I was able enlarge this image to a printable 96" x 125" size. That is at 360 dpi and it is 8.74 GB in size saved as an Adobe Large File. This is the image I worked on only this one has been cropped. I worked with the original 4x5 scan of this landscape. After logging into Adobe's site it appears that anyone with CS2 now has until the 6th of May to upgrade to CS5.5 for $199 and then will get CS6 for free when it comes out of testing. I was even able to run the unsharp mask on the 8.74GB file without problems. With a high speed sata internal drive for a scratch drive the process would have been really fast for the size.
Look at the face of the girl sitting in the background and see what free gets you though. If that where you which copy would you want? And then will your free handle 8+ GB files sizes for public building photos...? Compare faces on the the rider too.... See the diff in the clay sand in the arena? All I did with my software was just click one button. Now going through a thousand images from a single nights event... well time is money.....
This is what my free HP Media Smart Photo thingy did to the picture. Not to shabby! Maybe if I knew what I was doing it could have been better.
