Microsoft does not control the HW that their OS will run on is particularly a problem in that the permutations and combinations of HW that must be tested always causes problems and lots of bug fixes.
#LIGHTROOM 5.3 REQUIREMENTS UPGRADE#
Earlier I posted that the average HW upgrade period is 4-5 years. You should be grateful that Apple, Microsoft and Adobe provide support for SOME older versions of their software.
#LIGHTROOM 5.3 REQUIREMENTS SOFTWARE#
FWIW, I think it was the awfulness of GIMP that made me look seriously for Photo processing software that was not Photoshop (at $1200). Use that to anticipate and budget for the time when you will need to get a new Mac.Ĭlick to expand.While Linux is useful as a server OS, it hardly is acceptable running mainstream apps like those from Adobe. At that point, a paying subscriber isn’t getting anything out of the Creative Cloud app installer.
#LIGHTROOM 5.3 REQUIREMENTS MAC#
After that, you can hold out one more year with the second newest version of Lightroom Classic, but after that year, the Creative Cloud app no longer makes it available to reinstall on that Mac if needed.
#LIGHTROOM 5.3 REQUIREMENTS INSTALL#
So the way the math works out between Apple and Adobe is that the year Apple releases the first version of macOS that can’t be installed on your Mac, you’ve got two years before you will not be able to install the latest Adobe applications such as Lightroom Classic. Each year when a new version comes out, the oldest one is removed as an install option from the Creative Cloud desktop app and is no longer supported. In three years, macOS Monterey will no longer be supported by Adobe or Apple, so the software support those 2015 Macs got will end at 8 years.Īdobe supports only the last two versions of Creative Cloud desktop applications such as Lightroom Classic. The oldest Mac model supported in macOS 12 Monterey was made in late 2015. Any Mac that can’t upgrade macOS past that will no longer get Apple updates and won’t be able to install next year’s Creative Cloud major versions. Next year’s victim is macOS 10.15 Catalina. Adobe follows the Apple schedule for the macOS system requirements for Creative Cloud applications, so every fall, the fourth oldest macOS gets kicked off the support list at both Apple and Adobe. With the release of macOS 12 Monterey yesterday, macOS 10.14 Mojave is no longer supported by Apple for updates. Apple supports only their last three major versions, anything older no longer gets software updates. Maybe sooner if they run out of parts.Įvery fall, Apple releases a new major version of macOS. For the hardware, Apple stops providing repair services for a model after 7 years (notebook battery replacements up to 10 years). Today, it’s difficult to keep a Mac for more than 7 years and still install the most advanced software. When you put together the support periods for Apple and Adobe software, some things become clear. This fortunately is only my travel laptop.

I have a perfectly good 2009 MAC but I'm stuck on an old version of the MACOS so can only run Lightroom 6.

I don't think I'm cheap, just frugal, but am feeling I'm getting caught up in a retail practice to artificially force upgrades to HW and SW. It works, does what I need but yes, I have some apps that no longer run on it. That or reduce their support coverage costs.įull disclosure, I use a hand-me-down iPhone 6. Without that, it seems like there is a conspiracy between HW and SW vendors to EOL products to force users to upgrade. Personally, if I understood why an older OS/version needs to be dropped, it would make having to upgrade a bit more tolerable. I have to disagree with Bampton in that, even though 11 years is an eternity in computing, it is frustrating that the hardware still works, but either a vendor or software provider have dropped support for an older release, many times without an explanation. Microsoft's evaluation tool for Windows 11 now also says my Intel CPU is not supported but not why it is not supported. I suspect part of the problem is the on-board Intel disk controller which Intel has end-of-lifed.

#LIGHTROOM 5.3 REQUIREMENTS WINDOWS 10#
On my main Windows desktop, I went through hell last year upgrading to Windows 10 on a 2014 Dell.
