With OS X 10.11 El Capitan now available as a free download from the Mac App Store, you’re probably wondering how well your Adobe software and other Mac apps will run on it. Upgrading to El Capitan seems to go relatively smoothly for most software. The biggest problems with compatibility and stability were with the first release of El Capitan (OS X 10.11.0); many of those problems were fixed in OS X 10.11.1. Here’s what I know so far about the state of Adobe software in El Capitan.
Adobe has released Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.1 and 6.1, Adobe Camera Raw 9.1, and a corresponding DNG Converter 9.1 update. There’s also a Lightroom Mobile 1.5 update, as well as Photoshop CC 2015.1. All are free updates for current licenses of the software; update links are at the end of this article. The Lightroom and Camera Raw updates include the usual new camera profiles and lens profiles, and fix a number of bugs, and the Creative Cloud versions add new features. For more details, go to:
In this article I summarize some of the main points.
If you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 on OS X Yosemite (10.10 through 10.10.1), you might have noticed that the Map module may load slowly or fail to load at all. According to an Adobe statement at Photoshop.com (Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)), the problem was in OS X network code Adobe was using to get map data from Google Maps; Apple has confirmed to Adobe that this bug is fixed in OS X 10.10.2 which is now available.
After you install the OS X 10.10.2 update, the Lightroom Maps module should work properly. You can update using the Mac App Store (click Updates) or download an installer from Apple (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Update tech note; or use this direct download link: (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Installer).
