Just drag it to the trash and empty the trash. Don't need to do anything else … don't move your catalog folder or disturb the other Adobe stuff in your account's Library folder. Just drag the app to the trash and empty the trash. Than re-install LR 5.3 release. No need to call Adobe … Lightroom does not do the "phone home" thing that PSCS does. Download a fresh copy as many times as you need, it's no biggie because LR is only a couple hundred Mbytes, not Gbytes like PSCS. That's it. It should take you all of twenty minutes, including the download, at most. Do it now, it'll put your mind at ease. After you finish the installation, just double click on your usual catalog file and it should wake up exactly as you left it. This is not a big deal. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
