Then you'll be fine.
Or install from scratch and use the now-upgraded version of Lightroom which solves most of the difficulties. Present status of my Leopard testing: - Another Adobe update to LR is due soon that will fix the print module issue. - Issues with the Leopard backup system are more conceptual in nature, due to the strategy of the Leopard backup system ... work around by excluding the Lightroom database directories, or just turn the backup system off, and you'll be fine. - Issues with viewing files using the Finder are mostly inconsequential ... most Mac OS X users never view files with the Finder, that's what you use Bridge and Lightroom, or iPhoto, or whatever for ... but that will be fixed when Apple revs the Finder in another Software Update. I've got a Leopard test system running from an external hard drive now, into which I've installed both Photoshop CS2 and Lightroom 1.3 along with the Eye One Display 2 calibration software and Epson R2400, HP 7960 print drivers. I haven't had time to exercise it thoroughly yet, but so far I have yet to see it have any problems at all when I've started up either the PowerBook G4 or Power Mac G5 DP using it. Sorry, don't expect a comprehensive report any time soon. I'll be out of town next weekend ... and I have a LOT of work to accomplish in the meantime. :-( Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
