Lightroom 4 requirements?

Aug 23, 2012 8:22 PM

Will Lightroom 4 run on a Windows 32-bit system?

 

Also, will Lightroom 4 interface with Photoshop 5.5, or is Photoshop 6.0 required?

    Yes, it will run on 32bit Vista/ Win7. How it interacts with PS depends on what you need. All it does is call an external process and hand over the images. It doesn't really care which version of PS. The only issue of concern is the camera model and in turn the required version of Camera Raw. If you use the new Raw 2012 engine in LR 4, images may simply not open in older versions because it doesn't exist there, but only in CS6....

    Yes, non-RAW images pose no issue whatsoever. RAW images may. Regardless whether your camera is an older model and has been around for a while, if you use the new Camera RAW engine in LR 4 it won't be compatible with CS5.5's older engine, but you can override this in LR and revert to the old engine as well. Though that kind of defeats the purpose on some level...

    Pilaar39 Mylenium is correct it will work with 32-bit processors and Windows operating systems.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5393.
