Default Who doesn't use photoshop?

Hey everyone, since my laptop really struggles running photoshop and lightroom together I tend to avoid round-tripping from lightroom if i can... I was wondering if anyone out there gets by without using it at all... Please share your answer to the poll below

Thanks!

My workflow consists of LR and CS4; however, the majority of the work is done in LR and there are times when I don't even utilize CS4 when working a set.

I never run them together.
I just use CS4 for that little bit extra.

I am also using an 8 year old PC with 1GB of ram.

Mostly I use Aperture 3 and do my final editing in CS5, but sometimes I will break out Lightroom because I have a bazillion presets for it.

I only use PS if I absolutely have to. The other 99% of the time it's just LR.

I live in Lightroom, my web browser is the only program I use more! I think I have actually used photoshop a half dozen times, that program confuses the hell out of me. I do use PTGUI and Photomatix quite a bit though.

I mainly use UFRaw and GIMP. They're plenty for my needs right now.

Ditto. They work very well.

I mainly use Raw Therapee and Gimp. I am making the transition to LR3 though. The noise reduction and color rendering is beyond sweet! I will probably keep using Gimp. I have no specific need for Photoshop.
