Hullo

I have a Mac OSX 10.5.8
Lightroom 2

I have an opportunity to purchase the Educational version of Photoshop CS4 or the Standard version of Photoshop CS4

I am wishing to use Photoshop within the Photography realm only

Can either of these versions be fully integrated with Lightroom 2 ? i e plug-ins, droplets etc. etc.

What would be the disadvantage of not purchasing Photoshop CS4 extended?

thank you

Yes. I believe that it makes no difference whether an Educational or commercial license is used, it is the same software. There may be some license restrictions about commercial (for-profit) use of the Educational version.

I am not aware of any disadvantage, for normal photographic image editing. If you needed the extended functions, you would probably already know about them - say if you are doing 3D CGI, video compositing, something like that.

Having the Extended version does mean that your upgrades will be more expensive, for ever! The same is true if you buy a CS suite pack rather than a stand-alone program: you will always have to pay to upgrade everything as a group - you can't later separate the set - even if you don't actually use the other programs.
