It makes sense to me though I have never tried it. I have two versions of Photoshop that reside comfortably on my system. I kept an earlier version because my Topaz filters had not yet updated to CS6. I never had to keep both versions open at the same time, but if that works with Lightroom, I cannot see any reason not to do so.

A question for the Adobe Lightroom gurus out there.
I have two catalogs: personal and work.
I have two versions of Lightroom installed: 4 and 5.
Would it be possible, smart, or downright silly to use LR4 for my baby work and LR5 for my personal work?
Why, you might ask, would I do this? To have two catalogs open at one time which is something no Lightroom version allows.
The advanced features of LR5 would be handy in my personal work but not necessary in my studio portrait work.
I have scads of RAM and buckets of space.
Thoughts?
