The only real problem area is in the noise reduction area. 2.X cant recognize the 2010 version. So if you dont update the catalog you are fine.

So if you dont update the catalog you are fine. LR3 has to upgrade the catalog. The format has changed. What makes you think you're accessing the same catalog from both without upgrading it? Victoria

I did not make a new one in 3, it grabbed what I had in 2.7 on install. 3 says it upgrades, but is it really generating a new catalog rather than really updating it. .

Ah, yes, it's copying the LR2 catalog and upgrading the copy, just in case you want to go back. Victoria

Sorry for the elementary question but does this mean there will be two copies of the catalog sitting on my HDD then? 5D4 w/BG-E20, 24-105 f/4L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, 35 f/1.4L, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2.8L IS Macro, Sigma 50 f/1.4
