1. I own PS7 and plan to upgrade to CS2. Is a raw converter included? I have read that 'raw converter software' depends very much on the image. Is there any 'general' purpose raw converter which is good.

2. Any books to read, I have already ordered DAM book. I'm new to digital world but know PS quite well.

3. Which CF cards do you suggest? How much does Sandisk ultra II and normal cards make a difference?

umm, may add few as and when comes to my mind.

Thanks for your time,

First off... CS2 has the "Bridge" and a "RAW" converter. While in the Bridge if you click on a RAW file it is automatically opened in the converter where you can then make adjustments, convert it to almost any format you wish.

as for books may I mention SCOTT KELBY.....SCOTT KELBY...SCOTT KELBY and here is a link that may be of some help...

"The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers" "Scott kelby"
"Real World Camera Raw" "Bruce Fraser"

to name a few



As for CF cards, the type all depends on the camera you have...

Thank you Martin.
Both the books are on their way and so is PSCS2.
