I´ve tried both the SL Compatibility Wiki (http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/) and Lightcraft´s own site (http://www.lightcrafts.com/lightzone/) without finding any answer.
So: has anybody had a chance to try yet? Latest version seems to be 3.8.

Some users report that Lightzone is fine on Snow Leopard…

Thank you, Francois; seems promising (although it´s the same poster in both links...). I got LZ a while ago as part of a promo bundle, and rather like it. I have Photoshop too, but am still on CS2, which is reported NOT to work with SL....
So, I have to decide whether to postpone the SL upgrade, do the upgrade and use LZ, or upgrade both Photoshop and SL.....
(and, if I don´t upgrade PS soon enough, I´ll have to pay full price again if I decide to do it later....)

Be sure to have a full backup of your current boot drive before upgrading to Snow Leopard. I don't know if Photoshop CS2 works or not (I've read the compatibility reports :-{ ). You'll probably need to install Rosetta (not a standard install) and test for yourself. I'm running CS3 and it looks like everything is fine.

A late thank you, and a follow-up: Bought the SnowLeopard update (it´s surprisingly cheap for an apple product... ) and made a test installation on another drive (after taking the Leopard drive out). Rosetta installed as well. Here are my findings (with reservations that there might be bugs or gotchas that I haven´t found yet):
Lightroom 2.5 runs perfectly, accessing my present library on its own drive.
Photoshop CS2 runs fine, and cooperates with Lightroom without a hitch.
Light Zone (latest version) runs fine, too.
Capture One (again, latest version) seems to run OK as well, but haven´t had time to test it much.
My Epson 3800 needed a driver download directly from Epson (wasn´t in Apple´s library), but seems to work OK.
Several non-photo related programs had problems, though, so I´ll postpone my upgrading. At least it seems I won´t have problems with any of my image processing software...

Per,
Thanks for the info.
I found that Lightroom 2.5 can't send files to Photoshop CS3 to merge them as a panorama. Editing files from Lightroom to Photoshop CS 3 works well. I haven't yet tried to print to my 3800. My old dual G5 (w Leopard) is now my print server.
All in all, I found Snow Leopard to be one of the easiest system upgrades from Apple.
