I think we work in different worlds. I routinely handle 200-300MB TIFF images scanned from medium format film. It takes several times longer than opening CR2 raw files from EOS 5D, but still quite manageable. (I use a dual G5 PowerMac and a MacBook but I have 2.5GB and 3GB RAM. You'll need plenty of RAM to handle 300MB TIFF.) I think the quality of raw processing changed quite a bit in 1.2, but I don't think there was a significant cahnge in 1.3, if any. Also in 1.1 or 1.2 (forgot which) the database handling of LR improved greatly and now we can split and merge database files, which was very difficult in older versions. -- Ryuji Suzuki http://silvergrain.org
