Hi all,
I'm trying to install lightroom classic in parallels (Windows 11) on my macbook pro (M2). However, creative cloud doesn't give the option to install classic - just lightroom cloud. Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Allie

Thanks Johan - cool trick. One concern with that is, what happens when the catalog gets upgraded? I wish Adobe would enable the use of base and relative paths as a configuration... Any idea if this is on their feature dev list?

A catalog upgrade is like a catalog upgrade of a 'normal' setup. The upgraded catalog will still be located in the same catalog folder, so nothing special happens. It will be like any other catalog upgrade. The only thing of course is that y
So, can you be specific about what you mean by the 'catalog folder'? Is this the folder that contains the various .lrcat files, and not the subfolders that contain the cache, etc?
By Alexander30733174d3es
The catalog folder is the folder that contains the catalog file (.lrcat) and the other stuff like the previews, smart previews (if you use these), etc. So what you would have to do is place the image folder hierarchy inside that folder too.

According to this article, the DMA currently applies to six "gatekeeper" companies, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft:

Reading that and other articles, I don't see how DMA would cause Adobe to slow-walk the deployment of Lightroom Classic on Microsoft ARM devices in Europe.

I could be all wrong here, but I suspect that testing is the real issue. Large variety of national languages. Possibly different configurations for new laptops offerred in Europe. General concern abouot not rushing support worldwide for ARM. E.g. use the US deployments to gain run time experience as a guide for future support in other countries.
That all said, I could make a snarky comment how none of the six "platform" companies are EU-based. But I won't. 🙂

Apple is already holding back features for Europe, and I expect Microsoft to follow suit. Adobe isn't going to want to fork its apps over the lack of major OS support. That could mean waiting until those features are worldwide.
