    Monterey is no longer supported.  

    Optionally, get a Win11 PC or upgrade to macOS Tahoe, Sequoia or Sonoma.

    You need Lightroom Classic version 13.x. You can download and install only the current version and one version before. If you need an earlier version you have to contact Adobe and asking them for a download link.But it isn’t sure you’ll get it. 

    Contact Adobe support by clicking here,  https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

    In the chat field (lower right of screen) typing “Agent” into the chat text field will bypass the initial chatbot. Be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human. Explain why you need the old versions, and ask politely for the links.

    It isn’t sure that you get the link for this old an unsupported version of Lightroom.

    If you are not able to get to the chat window, then disable your ad-blockers, firewall, enable cookies/scripts on your browser. 

     

    If you get the links save the downloaded files for further use.

    My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 9 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

    Thanks for posting, HelloDriscol.

    What Adobe subscription are you planning to use to access Lightroom Classic on your MacBook Air running macOS 12.7.6? I don't see any active subscriptions under the account you used to post to this public discussion forum.


    If an organization manages your subscription, then please contact them to request the necessary files. If you do not have an active subscription, HelloDriscol, then you will need to use a different computer to access Lightroom Classic.


    Please review and bookmark https://adobe.ly/4nOclGY for information on the system requirements for the current version of Lightroom.


    For more information about downloading older Adobe applications, see https://adobe.ly/4fLhvl2.


    Please update this public discussion thread if you have any additional questions, HelloDriscol. ^JW

    Hola, gracias por la respuesta.

    Actualmente ya cuento con una suscripción activa de Adobe Creative Cloud, aunque posiblemente esté asociada a una cuenta diferente a la utilizada para publicar en este foro.

    Lo que necesito específicamente es un enlace oficial de Adobe para descargar e instalar una versión de Lightroom Classic compatible con mi MacBook Air 2017 y macOS Monterey 12.7.6.

    Las especificaciones de mi equipo son:

    • MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017)
    • macOS Monterey 12.7.6
    • Intel Core i5 1.8 GHz (doble núcleo)
    • 8 GB RAM
    • Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB

    Agradecería mucho si pudieran proporcionarme directamente:

    • El enlace oficial de descarga de la versión recomendada para este equipo.
    • O el número exacto de versión de Lightroom Classic que debería instalar.

    Muchas gracias.
