It was something that was on my backlog for quite sometime. For one thing I get the ability to access memory over ~3.5 gigabits of RAM. Also the other key driver is that Adobe Lightroom 2.0 support 64 bit, so it can access more of that RAM while processing photographs. I understand that the same underlying architecture is part of Photoshop CS4 now, but for know I am still running CS3, so I won’t be able to take advantage of that yet.

One issue that I ran into when installing the 64 bit version of Lightroom on my machine was that every time I launched the program it asked me for the license key. I was not able to fid this specific issue on the Adobe support site, but I figured out that if you launch Lightroom, once, with Administrator privileges, put in your license key all works from that point forward. And does not require you to open Lightroom as admin in the future. I am guessing there is some registry key that is inaccessible as a normal user. This definitely is a bug, hopefully Adobe can provided a fix in the future, but for know it is a pretty easy work around.

I have not had too much time to go through it yet, but the timing is perfect since I just installed my newly purchased copy of Photoshop CS3.

Using Layers to enhance photographs has been only of my favorite things to do within Photoshop Element and way more powerful within CS3. To be honest I have been following the lead from others when it comes to which layers to apply to get specific effects, and I was somewhat doing this blindly. From my quick look through Matt Kloskowski's new book I can tell it is going to be very helpful to get me up to speed on CS3. I am particularly interesting in the chapters on Adjustment Layers and Layer Masks.

I have not tried them all, but they are great examples of how much you can do to modify how your pictures look before needing to use Photoshop. I personally really like presets from Matt Kloskowski's Lightroom Killer Tips.

Great list Heather, thanks for putting it together.
