Photoshop CS5 worked in Mac OS Leopard???

[ShogunSho]

If this question has been asked before please excuse my mistake.

My question is concern with Photoshop CS5 for Mac. I currently use the normal Leopard (10.5 something) as the OS. And also my current photoshop I'm using is CS4. I do know that the latest CS5 is compatible for 64bit in Snow Leopard. However, I realized that it can be change to run as 32bit mode as well.

So does this mean I could run CS5 with my normal Leopard OS and choose to run under 32bit to be able to use it?

Or CS5 is only meant to be used by Snow Leopard only and the point about run under 32bit is just in Snow Leopard to be able to use the filter and plug ins not yet update for 64bit.

Is there anyway for me to run CS under my normal Leopard OS? Even just the trial version is fine. I only wanted to update my skill since many tutorials and resources now aday tend to be based upon CS5.

Yes. There is a command in CS5 where you choose 32 bit mode

To run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode:

1. Quit Photoshop CS5.
2. Navigate to Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.
3. Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5.app file.
4. Choose File > Get Info.
5. Select Open in 32-Bit Mode.
6. Close the Get Info dialog box.
7. Reopen Photoshop CS5.
