Upgraded my iMac HD from 10.4.11 to 1.5.2, lost the use of PS7.
I was really disappointed to find PS7 didn't work with 10.5
After some help from these forums, I worked out a method that works, for me anyway.
It was a bit of a get around, but it works for me.
I have a few external HD's, partitioned for various backup reasons, in addition to my Time Machine 500gb.
What I did, was install 10.4 from the original installation DVD's onto one of these external HD partitions, and re-installed PS7 there too for ease of use.
Took a couple of hours, but worth it.
It works a dream, all I have to do now is select 10.4.11 (updated) under Startup disc when I want to use PS7, which is usually only after a holiday or other mass photo trip !
I'm now just CCC'ing the 10.4.11 external as a backup, then I'm going to try the alt (option) key reboot choice, to see if that works.
Yes it does, that works a treat.

No, you didn't. You got Photoshop 7 to work with 10.4.11 on your iMac.

I read it as 10.4.11 was NOT installed ON my iMac, 10.5.2 WAS installed ON my iMac, but 10.4.11 was running IN my iMac, anyway, you get the idea !

I'm sure I could install different OS versions (10.4.11 / 10.5.2) on different partition on the iMac HD, but I'm not about to lose my data doing so.
I did read somewhere about "on the fly" partitioning without losing data, to add, or amend partition size, but can't find it now.

Why not jsut get Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac and stop using Photoshop 7 all together.Doesn't sound like you are using a lot of Photoshop's functions to need Photoshop on a full time basis.

I fixed your title to reflect the specifics of your method.

PS7 v PE6 no contest really.
I know PS7 very well, I do use it extensively when needed, and I am very quick at producing excellent results, and as it's already paid for, I shall continue to use it.
Having said that, with my newer, more advanced digital cameras I find little need for daily use, mainly just after holiday trips and days out.
(I also like the batch renumbering, silly, but true)

er 10.5 will partition non destructively. Just fire up Disc Utility.
