I did upgrade. No problems at all, except some of my photos are showing
the old Recovery/Fill instead of Highlight/Shadow sliders. I haven't
figured that one out yet, but I'm optimizing the catalog to see if that
fixes it.
This was scanned as a RAW DNG file but when I try to lower the highlights,
it just looks too fake.
Thanks!
