Yosemite is known to break two things (well maybe more, these are the

- muti-way Skype videoconferences
- Photoshop Elements releases prior to 13; the symptom is, none of the
selection tools work, they just lock up the app.

Hi Paul:
I am a big fan! I have a mid-2011 21.5 inch iMac, with 4 gigs of RAM, and so

desktop eventually. Lightroom 5 runs just a tad slow,

its worth it, by all means go for it.
