If you’ve got an update waiting, it’s time to take the blue pill. The Adobe Application Manager will open, and this is what you will see… Go to the ‘Help’ drop down and click on ‘Updates…’ If you too are trying to figure this out, you’ll find your Lightroom software updates in the Adobe Application Manager program. Please don’t expel me from the Island of Misfit Toys.Īll right…. (Maybe I did right after I installed it.) So, no… I haven’t (ever) updated Lightroom 6.
(I’m so used to Apple’s incessant reminders to update my software.) I hadn’t been receiving any notices about updates. Was I running the most up-to-date version of Lightroom 6? I did some Googling and ran across an insanely obvious question… (And you know, that seemed to be about the time my troubles began.) The only recent change to my iMac’s ecosystem was an update to my iMac’s OS High Sierra. So, it was clearly time to do some troubleshooting… And finally, it crashed while I was importing photos. (Silly me.) But then, it began happening when I was actively using the program. My iMac rushed to create a report to send to both Apple and Adobe, but I didn’t expect any engineers to be calling anytime soon. Lightroom would be open in the background, and then ‘pop,’ it would suddenly disappear. It happened mostly when I wasn’t actually working with it. For now though, I’ve been enjoying my Lightroom 6.Ī few weeks back, my Lightroom began randomly crashing.
So, yay Barrett.īut I know it’s just a matter of time until I’ll be joining Adobe’s Creative Cloud. That was the plan, and I’ve already passed the two year mark.
I figured my one-time DVD purchase would be more economical than the pay-as-you-go model, as long as I used Lightroom for more than 15 months. I wanted software that was more powerful than Photos, and Lightroom has indeed proven itself to be a rock star.Īt the time, I made the choice to buy a standalone Lightroom 6 license for $149, instead of Lightroom CC, which requires you to pay into a $10/month Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem. I switched to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 from Apple’s Aperture a couple years back after Apple retired Aperture and launched the Photos app. The truth is you’ve just got to put in the time, have an organized plan, and use photo management software that’s right for you. I’m the kind of parent who takes way too many family photos and then struggles to organize them, quickly share the best ones and eventually create photo books. I’ll be honest… digital photo management has been a challenge for me since my 7-year-old son was born. When your tenuous photo management process hits a wall, because your software gets glitchy, sometimes an obvious solution actually works.
