I'll update my review next week with more recent impressions.. I just 
wanted to say, after spending another day with it processing images for 
prints for the holidays, I really see the benefit of this app over PS 
CS for certain workflows. I cranked through correcting and processing 
more photos, more easily, than I ever could in the same time in 
Photoshop - while it's missing the vignette and CA correction I need 
for my panoramas, for individual rectilinear photos it's a real 
workhorse. I can see the appeal for a lot of people. I will continue to 
use Photoshop, because it's my frontend for my cataloging system and 
because most of my actual work (panoramas and others) will end up in it 
anyway, but for cruising through a set of newly shot images to create 
print-ready TIFFs, all I can say is wow!

Give it a try... it's not my favorite UI ever, but a little time and it 
becomes a very efficient tool for correcting and processing a lot of 
files individually.
