Using Lightroom 5 as it is autonomous to convert RAW, then save to CS2?

I am a professional photographer, and I am perfectly happy with my version of CS2 in Photoshop, I can get it to do what I need, without having to spend another $600 on the latest version.


Unfortunately the new camera that I bought has CS6, or 4-5 Lightroom to process RAW files.  Can I just buy Lightroom and use it as a stand-alone product, and then save the file in tiff format to continue work on this subject in my CS2?


Yes, you can do it. You can designate Photoshop CS2 as external editor. When you choose to edit in Photoshop, you will receive a warning that camera raw is obsolete, and you can choose to make a copy with Lightroom adjustments. You can set up Lightroom so that the copy will be a PSD or TIF image. I think most of the people prefer to TIF. Then you can tell Lightroom does not show this option more. From there to the front any when you choose to edit in Photoshop Lightroom will create the TIF image and transmit it. When you save the changes in Photoshop these changes that will be included in the TIF image that is in the Lightroom Catalog.
