I did that recently. It's way better than it was a few years ago. I can see how
some people who use PS could find it
meets their needs. It will depend a lot on what tools you use. I just couldn't
see where it would do all I do in PS and
could see a whole lot of time spent learning how to do the parts it could
replace.
BTW, I can't see much big improvement in CS5 over CS4. The big deal is supposed
to be content aware healing and fill. So
far, I haven't been impressed. The healing brush seems to me to work better the
old way for many uses.
We use ACR/PS in quite different ways. You use ACR pretty extensively for post,
while I mostly do it in PS. What would
you use for RAW conversion on Linux? There are RAW converters, but I'm not
aware of anything with the range of functions
you use in ACR.
