PS new versions compatibility with OS 10.13?

[rgall]

I see that both the new versions of PS and LR Classic require Mac OS 10.14 at minimum.  Apparently this stops any updates for versions that will run on 10.13.   Are there any alternatives for owners of older Macs that can't be upgraded to 10.14?

Thanks,

I presently have macOS High Sierra version 10:13:6 on my imac. Have the PS 2020 and LR Classic paln and want to udate to the newer versions released last week. Please advise if macOS  Catalina will spport the newest versions? I have an imac 2017 and not sure if I can update my OS any higher than that - or if in fact it is worth it?

Thanks,

That's a question for Apple. Compatible Macs are listed here:

Easiest way to check on your Mac is to click

• Apple logo (top LHS corner of the screen) > About This Mac > Software Update
• Then follow the prompts.

Systems requirements for your apps:

Lightroom Classic https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements.html

In short, both require either Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey.

A 2017 iMac will run the current macOS Monterey.

The cutoff for Mojave is roughly 2011, so maybe its time to consider upgrading to a newer machine?
