Adobe has released a PDF document outlining compatibility of their products with Mac OS X 10.5 ‘Leopard’.
Both flavors of Photoshop CS3 are compatible with Leopard. In fact, most of the CS3 line are compatible, with a few exceptions.
Lightroom requires an update, but they do not provide any details as to what features are not working properly (or when the ‘future update’ will arrive).
“Photoshop Lightroom 1.2 is not fully certified for Mac OS X Leopard, but future updates will address areas of Leopard compatibility”.
Bad news for Photoshop CS2 (and earlier) and Photoshop Elements 4.0 (and earlier) users as they are marked as “Not Designed for Mac OS X Leopard”. Comments state “Likely to encounter issues for which there is no resolution.”

Great. Thanks Apple and Adobe. CSII users are screwed? Now I’m supposed to update my OS and Adobe apps?
I think I’ll do neither…..

Lightroom seems to work fine except the print module will not launch at all.

@Russ - I feel your pain! That really stinks, but at least Tiger is a good solid OS. If you’ve ever used Windows, you could have been stuck with a really bad OS, like Windows ME. Hehe…
@Old Man River - Thanks for the feedback. I took the leap and upgraded to Leopard this evening. Lightroom is working great except for the print module (as you stated). I can live with that until Adobe fixes it. Not being able to import or edit RAW files would have been a show stopper for me.
