Hello,

   I'm completely new in photo software... Will be the old desktop version of LR6 compatible with 5D Mark IV RAWs? (Even with last firmware of 5D Mk IV) I don't need updates every week, so if the old one LR will work with my camera, it will be fine for me.

Thanks

    However, you will not be able to process dual pixel raw images. They will need to be processed with DPP and then converted to TIF images which can then be imported into Lightroom 6.7 or later to be finished. The last Lightroom 6 update was 6.14.

    So if I don't need/want to shoot dual pixel RAW, then I will be able to use LR 6.14. Right? I'm not pro. I just purchased 5D Mk IV just for fun and I need some tool for some light corrections of lights, shadows, tones, colors, dehaze... Nothing very special.

    But here I see some different versions of needed software for 5D Mk IV, so I'm not sure if LR6 (6,14 if upgrade is still available) will be enough: Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    Your understanding is correct. Lightroom 6 is still available, and the 6.14 update is still available. It seems apparent that you understand that 6.14 is the final update for Lightroom 6 and that there will be no further updates or upgrades for the standalone version. The 6.14 update can be downloaded from the following website:

    Download Photoshop Lightroom

    Just click on the highlighted Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 which you will see part way down the page. It doesn't look like a link, it is just a bolded Line on the page. You only need the one update, as it will be cumulative, Including all previous updates. Note that the update needs to be installed AFTER you install the main Lightroom 6 program installer.

    You need Lightroom 6.7 or later. If you are going to purchase LR 6, the update to LR 6.14 is free.
