Compatibility with Catalina

[ilijal1505957]

When will Adobe upgrade Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud to be fully compatible with macOS Catalina?

[Rob_Cullen]

It already is!

Do you have a specific problem?

[ilijal1505957]

Thank you for the prompt response. I'm ready to upgrade my macOS to
Catalina but the Adobe website advises against it for Lightroom Classic
users because of several known compatibility issues. I have release 9.2 on
all of my computers.

The issues of concern are: tethering Nikon DSLRs, 32-bit lens profile
creator instead of 64-bit and use of the eyedropper in graduated and radial
filter mode.

I use each of these regularly and did not want to create unnecessary
problems in my workflow.

If you will assure me that these compatibility issues have been resolved in
the Lightroom Classic 9.2 release, then I will proceed with upgrading to
the macOS Catalina 10.15 release.

Thank you,

>>> 32-bit lens profile creator instead of 64-bit

No change on that issue.

If you need to use the lens profile creator and it's essential to your workflow then don't upgrade to Catalina.

Tethering works fine with my D850 and MBP 2019 16" with 10.15.3. I found that the cheap little USB C to USB adapters will not make the tethering connection, but using the Apple adapter works fine.

I do not see an eye dropper in either linear or radial gradient. Where do you find it?

As far as assuring you of compatibility, the forum members here are Adobe users like you. We can only relate our experiences not assurances.

See this Adobe help article for known issues with LR on Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina):

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/macos-catalina-compatibility.html

It provides workarounds for glitches tethering Nikons and using the eyedropper from the color swatch in the Graduated and Radial Filters.
