Dave, you should be able to get CS2 upgrade for under $200 US by having a
student purchase from a college/university bookstore.
I upgraded to CS2 mainly to get RAW conversion (cost me $169 to upgrade -
from PS7)
My recommendation would be to go for CS2 over Elements.

Subject: Advice. Upgrade to CS2 or get dedicated Raw program
Just need a few thoughts on this.
Would it be better to upgrade to CS2(cost about $450 or so to upgrade my
PSEL3) or get a single dedicated Raw
program like Raw shooter or Capture one.
El3 and CS can open every raw file i need, except the new D200. I can get
the plug in for EL3 but not for CS. Therefore
if i want the plug in and stay current with technology, i need to spend $$
on the CS2 upgrade.
Are there people out there that stay current with PS only or do you have a
raw program that you keep current.Do the dedicated programs stay current
with updates or are they slow at getting to the new cameras.
I don't see my self buying another Dslr, Pentax or Nikon in the near
future, unless the D2H goes south on my again, then it will be traded in
for a 20 D and lens, i suppose.:-)
Any thoughts one way or another. I have about 20 days left on the CS2
trial.
