I currently have PSE 7 on a windows XP professional PC. Amazon has Lightroom 3 on sale today for $188. Is that a good deal? Will Lightroom 3 work well on the XP operating system?

Thanks!

    If your a student or have access to a student ID you can get LR3 for $99 at the Adobe website, it does work on XP w/SP3 according to the site.

    Yes LR 3 will work on an XP machine it is under the same restrictions as any Photo editor such as the more memory and disk space you have the better it works.

    Thanks for all your responses. I just saw a deal pop up for $125 @ Amazon, but it has now expired. :(

    Sorry, that deal was from last Nov. Still $188 is a good deal. I might just do it.

    *not really. It's probably my poor diet and lack of exercise
