Photographers looking to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” should check to see if any of the applications they use have compatibility issues with the new OS. A good site that lists applications and compatibility is Snow Leopard Compatibility. In particular, photographers should note that Nikon doesn’t recommend updating yet, and CaptureOne currently requires a workaround. Also, there were rumors that Adobe Creative Suite 3 (including Photoshop) wouldn’t work on Snow Leopard, but those rumors have been debunked.

Comment(s):From what I’ve learnt over the years with these major Mac OSX upgrades, it seems best to wait off upgrading until they’re into a couple of updates (in this case 10.6.2’ish...)
It allows any bugs and creases to be ironed out with compatibility etc…
I can’t wait to take advantage of the added 64 bit usability and the Grand Central Dispatch..... :O

Basically, grab your software box for the serial number only. Other than that, all else is workie workie according to the Lightroom folks with 2.4--the latest update.
