Software continues the inexorable march towards new features and fewer bugs (at least that's the hope):
- Photo Rescue 3.1--Fujifilm S5 Pro users get better file recovery. The rest of us get memory card testing and erasure features.
- Lightroom 1.2--bug fixes.
- Adobe ACR 4.2--lower luminance noise reduction is applied when slider is set to 0. New non-Nikon cameras supported.
- Lightzone 3.1--new selection capabilities, improved Re-Light function, bug fixes, performance improvements.
- Photoshop Elements 6.0--adds PhotoMerge, Quick Selection, and Guided Edit abilities. Unfortunately, only the Windows version is ready. Mac users have to wait until next year.
