For me to get the most out of the Lightroom 4 beta, it would be a tremendous help to be able to take a file from the Develop module and open it in CS5 as a smart object, preserving the possibility to tweak it subsequently in Camera Raw. It would be nice to have a time-limited beta version of Camera Raw 7 that functioned in CS5. I'm sure that this request has been made elsewhere, but at the risk of repetition, I wished to voice it anyway.
There is much to like in the Lightroom 4 beta. Soft proofing is great. Would be nice to have the option of Curves functioning in the usual way as it does in Camera Raw 6 and PS.

Ralph,
Please expand on the curves comment.
You have parametric, rgb point, red point, green point, and blue point curves available.

What I have been told is that the code of ACR is so tightly integrated with Photoshop, that you cannot just make major revisions to ACR (such as the change to ACR 7 will be) and have it run under older PS version. So never gonna happen without a concurrent PS CS6 beta.

A concurrent CS6 beta seems like a great idea!

Ain't gonna happen. You'll just have to wait till Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7 ships...which according to Adobe will be "sometime" this spring. (This was announced last summer by the CEO).
