I’m providing assistance to a friend who was using Lightroom 5. Hopefully upgrading to the current version of LR will resolve all/any compatibility issues as I now understand that you’re totally happy with users being on High Sierra, but before I take the plunge I would be interested if you have any thoughts on the matter? I appreciate that we’re still in the festive period, but if you do read this then I’d be grateful for your wisdom.

I can’t find reference to this type of problem with my version. Both problems were replicated on a second try. Second time was when I was in the HSL/Colour panel and selected ‘yellow’ – again it closed as soon as I clicked the colour. First couple of times was when I pressed the Alt key whilst in the brush tool – it closed as soon as I touched the keyboard. Generally everything seems okay, however I’ve now had LR shut down on me four times in reasonably quick succession. However, first part of the exercise was to upgrade my Mac OS to High Sierra. I’m currently running LR 5.7 and know that I’ll soon have to upgrade to LR7 (Classic). Note that Lightroom 6 is no longer being updated, so a macOS update could kill it at any time, so I’d recommend the Photography Plan subscription instead.įiled Under: Troubleshooting, What's New in this Lightroom Release Tagged With: compatibility, sierra If you’re currently using Lightroom 5 or earlier, and you don’t want to sign up for a subscription but want to upgrade to Lightroom 6 to run High Sierra, there are purchase instructions on my How to Buy Lightroom page.

Older Lightroom versions are not supported, and will not be updated. The good news is Lightroom CC 2015.12 and Lightroom 6.12 and later do work on High Sierra. The big question is, does Lightroom work? The newest Mac operating system, macOS 10.13 Sierra, goes live later today.
