OK, thanks Godders, Had not found the import/export for XMP data yet ...
I don't have Bridge/CS on the MAC yet, but looking forward to CS3 that should arrive sometime next week. I do miss having photoshop arround for tweaking some of the images a bit more than Lightroom allows, that is why I enabled that auto XMP updating at some point. (I have CS2 on another, Windows system) Sofar, LR is sufficient for at least 95% of the images and I must say I really love the amount of control that you have with the RAW conversion in the develop module!
