[Leica] Question Re Using LR3 and PS CS3

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Ever the cynic, Nathan ;-)
Well, installing LR3 over CS3 should allow an LR3 preference setting for
whichever Ps version you have as the default external editor for PSD and you
have an option for a second (different if wanted) External editor for TIFF.
That one can be set manually to any Ps version you have also.

Of course you will REALLY want the new CS5 tools and Raw synchronisation as
well eventually but then I'll be labelled the Adobe rep as well as the Leica
rep here ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

Cheers
Geoff
