Jeff,

As always, thank you for your tireless work at keeping us informed. Also, I am so sorry to hear about Bruce. I never met him personally, but got a lot out of reading his book on Camera Raw.

I wanted to find out if Bridge 2.0 will work directly with Photoshop CS2 or will it only work with the new CS3?

I appreciate the info. Thanks,

Any chance that, in CS3, the quick and dirty Filter>Extract will work in 16 bit? for those who have never fully mastered the Zen of the Pen?

forget my first question… What I want to know is if I can use a script with in a script
I use Image Processor and I would like to add an action that CONTAINS a script and in CS2 I can’t do this.

My work flow for the job in question is as follows.
make overall corrections to the shoot in ACR via bridge
image processor to convert filess ready for printing
I use an action that preps the converted file for printing
this is what the action does
Convert to lab color space
drop from 16 to 8 bit
photokit sharpener
fit image (action to reduce file size)
photokit output sharpener
the script add filename as text layer
a few layer styles to the file name layer
flaten
save

The problem seems to be with running the script add filename as text layer
with in the Image processor script.

Thanks for the excellent review, Jeff. It looks like the ACR interface has acquired a few features from Lightroom. BTW, the shot of you on the motorcycle does not appear to be exposed fully to the right.

Nice! With the new features, faster bridge, and improved Camera Raw, will we still need Lightroom?

Jeff,
Any chance that CS3 will allow me to insert scripts into actions?
