Adobe recommends that customers update Lightroom to the current version prior to updating to macOS v10.13 (High Sierra). The newest Mac operating system, macOS 10.13 Sierra, goes live later today. The big question is, does Lightroom work? The good news is Lightroom CC 2015.12 and Lightroom 6.12 and later do work on High Sierra. Operating system macOS 10.12 Sierra. Adobe has discovered the compatibility issues listed below when running Lightroom CC 2015.6.1/Lightroom 6.6.1 and earlier on macOS 10.12 (Sierra). Lightroom 3-5: Canon, Nikon and Leica tethering do not work. Lightroom 3-6.6.1:The Import dialog doesn’t display Apply During Import and Destination options. Does anyone know the status of Lightroom's compatibility with macOS High Sierra? I've been checking Adobe's site periodically for weeks and haven't seen anything. With High Sierra dropping on 25 September I'd like to know if Adobe supports Lightroom on that system before taking the plunge. This problem startee either with upgrade to Lightroom Classic CC or the upgrade to High Sierra. I noted it when trying to reorganize and remimport photos At first I thought it was just the photos I was moving.
