If you're good with CS2 and, especially, RAW conversions, it seems to 
be fairly shallow (though it may be nice and smooth until it gets to 
the base of the overhanging cliff... I dunno for sure).

So far I'm liking it relatively well, though I haven't quite gotten 
up to speed enough to use it for full-production work yet.  I think 
it's close enough that I could, though.  I don't burn through HUGE 
frame counts,  though, so I have no idea how it handles thousands of 
images being jammed into the maw at once.
