System: Vista x64bit.
Was prompted to install Bridge and ACR updates yesterday, which I did.
Further impressions.............
1. ACR 6.1 is the slowest ACR I've used. It is always playing catch-up. Any adjustments made appear after the fact.
2. However, I've had no crashes.
3. The lens correction feature is excellent. When I'm not using the 1Ds or Hasselblad, I use my beloved G9. Lens correction for this is superb. I take the point made above about some chromatic abberration remaining -sometimes. But, after using the auto setting, I have tried clicking on the Manual tab and choosing Defringe: All Edges. This appears to do the trick.
Any suggestions about Bridge/ACR settings/preferences to address questions about speed and smoothness. To be honest, I'm so much concerned about speed as the clunkiness (lack of smoothness) of the way ACR is now working.
Thanks.
