Title: Will Lightroom 5.7.1 work with the MacOS 10.12 Sierra
Post by: BrianWoolf on November 06, 2017, 03:08:42 pm: Wish to buy a new Mac computer early in 2018, they all will come with MacOS Sierra. Paid so much money to Adobe over the past 20+ years don't want to join the pay every month club. Lightroom 5 fits my needs very well and I do like to print from it, so I want to keep Lightroom. So will Lightroom 5.7.1 work with MacOS Sierra 10.12 and I also use Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

I made an error when I wrote: I am still with El Capitan, on à iMac 5k. My CS6 programs run poorly on it, but they do run. LR 5 does not work on capitan and Iassumewill not run on sierra.

It is LR 4 that Ii was not able to move to my new iMac.

The CS6 programs (PS, Illustrator, etc.) work but I found InDesign CS6 to be occasionally frustrating to use, so I bit the bullet and got the CC version.

Sorry for the incorrect info, I should have checked before writing!

If you now have LR6, why not just use LR6 then?
