Got old CS2.

Well, you could do one of two things. either get CS5-6 and convert to tiff files, or you could get LR4 lol. Really helpful i know.

I think I will upgrade to Windows 7 to use LR4.1. PS takes too much time and I don't do much pp.

Yeah, I get ya. Might as well, Windows 7 is actually kind of nice.

Because XP is pure crap. NT is pure crap as well. In the IT field we called it "nice try" as it's just inferior in every way.

Also in the IT field. I certainly do not consider XP "crap", but Vista was. We have many machines in our school district still running XP.

NT pure crap, folks don't know anything IMHO.

I think my grandfather uses XP.

Its amazing how much of the govt is using outdated OS's. im going to say id say 75% if still running xp and 2k3 server. i know because I administer it


Back on topic. Im saving up for the 5d3 right now and i will be in the same boat.. Gonna just upgrade to LR4 and save myself the hassle..

Oh, an iPhone kid.

I'm still using LR3 with DNG converter from adobe for processing my 5D3 files. The reason is because all of the reviews I've, the biggest compliant is the processing speed in LR4.1 seems to slow down a lot over time at least for the windows version. So I'm staying away from it for now until they have it fixed. The reviews on Amazon says that even the Adobe developers acknowledge that this issue exist, but doesn't seem to have a fix for it.

Anybody running LR4 on windows have the slow down issues?

I have to agree. (Another IT head here.) XP was considered the "solid" version of Windows for years. Vista was trash. Windows 7 support is just now reaching a point where we can convert to 7-64. Only complaints so far are users who share Access databases over the network. They have been screwed by the combination of Win7 and Server 2010. Microsoft is pushing Sharepoint as a solution. ... No thanks.

It has some issues. I have noticed this syncing a large catalog. However, at least in my case, highly hardware dependent. Both running WIN 7 and 8 GB RAM, an i7 laptop with a SSD drive runs circles around a desktop with Xeon/8 processors. Neither appear to be processor bound, so I attribute the difference to the SSD.

Being a long time Windows Developer, I think the upgrade to Windows 7 is great. It is more stable than OS X 10.7 in my experience. Definitely skip Vista. It was basically the fiasco that was Windows Millenium all over again.

Let me clarify...in it's day XP was indeed solid and revered. But we don't live in the past. By today's standards XP is very limited and a security nightmare for sysadmins like myself.

OP, If you are indeed a developer then you should fully understand why no one can afford to code for XP anymore. It's just too outdated and there are too many current OSs to write software for that will actually have market share for some time to come. I can't blame Adobe for not bothering to code for XP.
