@Dave, yes I tested this with LR3 and PSE8 during the beta cycle. It worked fine during the tests. Are you curious or do you have an issue to report?

Have you tested your plugin with LR3 and PE8?

I really like the integration that your plugin provides between LR and PSE7. I only wish that the later one was not such a resource hog.

Thanks for the great job.

@Nigel, I agree Photoshop is a great piece of software. I’m just suggesting that Photoshop Elements is good enough for many hobbyists and their photography would be better served by putting the extra dollars towards a better lens etc. Only you can determine which of the options best suits your individual needs though.

Adobe Photoshop is simply the best photo editing tool on the market. I often use it a lot on my photo studio and also in webpage design |

I was having a hell of a time trying to merge to panorama from LR to PSE until I downloaded your plug-in. And then voila – I got that seamless transition that I had read about between LR and CS3 but never actually achieved. This is a terrific plug-in and if you ever come out to Vancouver I will buy you that drink or two. Thanks a bunch!

@Elise, Not exactly the reaction I expected from the post, but if Elements fits your needs better than Lightroom then go for it! Personally I find them complementary rather than one being a replacement for the other.

Hi, Thanks for great advice! Will now purchase Elements instead of LightRoom

@Danny, You can use PSE as the primary editor but by default Lightroom will treat PSE8 as just another editor. e.g. will always render files as TIFFs or PSDs before invoking PSE. Despite being an Adobe application it doesn't get integrated as tightly with Lightroom as CS4 does. The Elemental plugin published on this site allows PSE6 and PSE7 to be accessed from Lightroom 2 similarly to how CS4 is. I haven't tested the plugin with the LR3 beta or PSE8 yet but will soon (possibly today). I don't expect any problems because it doesn't need the part so the SDK that seem to have changed.
