User level: Level 1 (16 points)Before i install Mac OS 27 on my Macbook M3 max with Mac OS 26.7 i like to know if Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 15) is compatible with Mac OS 27. I find no information.
Is there anybody who did it successfully?
All the best

You can install macOS on an external disk and test your work-related mission critical apps and workflows there before upgrading the main internal volume. Or, better yet have another Mac that you can revert to in case of emergency.
And yes, the latest Adobe Lightroom Classic 15.6 works in macOS 27.0.1.

How about Adobe's own documentation which I found here after a very quick search (no AI involved except for whatever the DuckDuckGo search engine may be using to provide normal results:
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/apps/system-requirements/apps-compatible-macos.html
I don't see Lightroom listed at all for Golden Gate, but I do see it listed for Tahoe.

I would never use an Adobe product on a Mac.
I tried to assist you. If you choose not to accept my advice, that’s your prerogative.
It wasn't your advice, it was an LLM's. The OP asked for personal experience.

I would never use this as a discriminator against answering. (Note my colleague HWTech also chose not to do so).
People ask about all sorts of problems in these Apple Support Communities as they should - issues such as difficulty adding payment methods, forgetting passwords, etc. They often ask “Has anyone else had this issue and solved it?” Does that mean a person who has not personally experienced the issue should ignore the post? I certainly don’t think so.

I just want to be sure. I accept only a answer from a real person who have a Mac with OS 26 and adobe Lightroom 15 on it and did all about my question

Lightroom Classic runs flawlessly on MacOS 27. Yes I did.
