Photoshop CS2 trial to full lic -...

Hi,



Here are what I have installed in this order:



- Expired trial Photoshop CS2

- Lightroom (CS2 already expired when I install LR)



I am going to reinstall a full license Photostop CS2 soon, would this have an impact on my existing LR?



1. Do I need to reinstall LR so that LR can use (or rather can 'see')

2. Photoshop CS2 to open individual files?

3. Would changes on the RAW images done by LR are reflected in CS2?

4. I like LR's Library layout, do I really need to install Adobe Bridge?

5. If I use CS2 top open files direct from LR (bypassing Bridge), what colour management is best for both worlds? ProColor RGB?



I use a Mac by the way.



Thanks.

1. No, LR is not affected by CS2 licencing procedures. LR not even uses activiation like CS2 which is very much appreciated.



2,3 You have to ensure that you use the latest Camera Raw plugin for CS2 (ACR 3.7). If you activate the automatic update of XMP metadata you will be able to see changes you made in LR in Bridge and CS2.



4. You do not have to. But if you are using CS2 heavily besides LR I personally would recommend Bridge



5. It makes absolutely no difference if you open a file directly in CS2 or via Bridge concerning color management. ProPhoto RGB is very well suited to deal with 16Bit raw photos and it is the internally used color space of LR. But please note that there is no best choice. It really depends on your workflow and output.

My question is: why not install CS 3? It'll have fuller compatibility with LR.

John, now that you have brought up the CS 3 issue (I have it on order) - do I just install it and will LR list it if I do a ''use Photoshop''? Will CS2 still be listed? Even if I uninstall it? Or should I reinstall LR after upgrading to CS3?

I hope CS2 won't be shown if you uninstall it! And I don't think reinstalling LR after an install of CS3 will be required.
