I read the previous postings on CS3. I've been looking at that program wondering if it is a good thing to get or not. I hear so many pros and cons about it. I have also read some reviews on amazon and someone stated some problems that I really don't want to deal with--ex. some parts don't work, switching from CS3 to Elements to finish a project. Is this a software containing problems that it may be best to wait for CS4 or should I just get CS2 from someplace?
When I talked with Adobe today they told me that instead of getting Lightroom I could download my photos in my elements and the use the CS3 for editing. Is that a good thing and do you think it will work well?
Also I was wondering if it is
really worth it. I have the trial version of CS2 on my computer right now and I do see things that are much quicker to do then in elements. I even edited a photo in CS2 then edited the same photo in elements to see the difference. Time and quality were different.

Kinda answered my own questions didn't I.
I'd like to know the problems anyone out there has had with this program. Also can you explain Bridge and does that come with the CS3 software?
