I just meant that since I can only afford one or the other at the moment, the nod had to go to CS4. I might like Lightroom as a conversion and rendering tool. I haven't spent enough time with it to be certain. But I do know that CS1 doesn't take advantage of the Intel box speed, I need PhotoShop for image processing beyond what Lightroom does, and I need InDesign. So for now, I'm still a PhotoShop and Adobe Raw Converter boy.
Photoshop, Bridge and Camera Raw constitutes a good image processing system. What do you use for image organization, cataloging and other management activities?
I am curious as to what it is that you do with Photoshop that is not possible in Lightroom 2. I know things like panorama stitching and compositing ... but I don't see too much of that in your posted photos. However, for an Apple Intel system, yes: you need CS3 or CS4 as a minimum for good performance.
Peripheral to my image processing, I use PS CS2 for watermarking, borders, and other relatively light duty stuff. I also use it for designing layouts and other stuff like that. And yes, I could really use a copy of InDesign ...
