Caution for all of you using Lightroom and Mac OSX and considering upgrading to

OSX 10.5 Leopard. Details are posted at this blog.

Updates to Lightroom and the various current versions of Photoshop are on the way. But I'm not planning on updating to 10.5 for a couple of months, mainly to let the various external software makers mainly Adobe, Microsoft, Canon, Nikon, Blinkbid, X-Rite and Intuit get their updates together.

I can say that Leopard and Photoshop CS3 have some difficulties. Minor. When entering the

width and height for the Rectangular Marquee tool or crop tool, the entries often do not get

entered and there appears to be some funny things happening with the GUI. Adobe says on

their website there are NO compatibility problems... but I intend to call them Tuesday when

they reopen. This has been slightly embarrassing because I've had clients come and view

their images and their crops and I'm not able to enter the crop dimensions. Makes it look bad

for me. Probably should have waited, but I didn't. Small error.
