Older version of malwarebytes for mac2/21/2024 It is now AI based - called Sensei and was trained using thousands of professional edits. If you decide to get it try the Auto button in the Basic Panel. LrC which is currently V10 (11 is around the corner) has all types of new features compared to LR6. Last I looked it was $180 year and it is not integrated with LrC. Check out what sites like SmugMug charge for Portfolio. You can import single files or LrC collections that are synced to the cloud (smart previews). Ask before trying this.įYI the plans come with Portfolio which is a personal website and is integrated with LrC. Technically you are only supposed to install one or the other as they were never designed tp work together. It automatically sends your files to the cloud. I never installed Lightroom or Lr (comes with the plan) which is their newer version for mobile applications. If you do sync it only sends smart previews which virtually uses no cloud space. LrC still requires files to be stored locally with an option to sync to the cloud if you want to. Yes you will want Lightroom Classic or LrC to start with to match LR6. There should be good enough refurb Mac minis, but you'd have to find a good display for photography unless you already have one.Ĭlick to expand.Do you need 1TB of cloud storage? I have been using the 20GB plan for $9.99 plan for 6 years and I don't have single file in the cloud. IMac displays from the last few years should be pretty good…Retina, wide gamut, and reasonably accurate, which you can improve if you have a color calibrating/profiling device. Newer Apple displays (macOS and iOS) reproduce the Display P3 color gamut, which is similar to Adobe RGB both reproduce many more colors than sRGB. Many newer displays are “wide gamut,” reproducing more colors. Old Mac/PC displays were roughly sRGB color gamut. Within that is color gamut, the range of colors that can be reproduced. Resolution is usually not the most important quality for photographers, color quality is more important. You asked about other screen quality considerations. One big consequence of Retina is that in photo applications, 100% magnification looks about half the size compared to non-Retina, because 100% usually means one image pixel to one display pixel and the Retina pixels are about half the size. With Retina/HiDPI, the UI can stay readable at a more or less constant size, instead with more detail and fewer jaggies (more pixels describe the same size object). Before Retina, the more pixels your display had, the smaller everything would look. Nice options on that site!Ĭlick to expand.Retina (called HiDPI on Windows/Android) is more than just higher resolution. Thanks to those who have recommended as a source for refurbished Macs. And so, I am requesting help in configuring my "new" computer, hopefully for under $1500. I just need the best used/refurbished computer that I can buy (as I am on a budget) to run my 6.14, hopefully for the next ten years. I do have two external drives on which I save my photo files. If there is a possibility of that, please advise. I am hoping that this procedure does not upset the operating ability of the LR 6.14 system after it has been transferred. I would have a professional transfer my operating system and all software, files, etc.I have no idea what Retina display is, or any other screen quality consideration to look for, but am open to advice on that as well.And also the size of the graphics card is a consideration-greater than 2 GB.I have also read on the LRQ forum that I need at least 16 MB of Ram, and ideally 32MB, to properly run LR files.I have read on this forum ("Paul" to "Larry" on 8/3/19) that 10.14.6 Mojave is the (highest?) OS iteration that will run LR 6.14 without any problems.I have looked at Mac minis but cannot discern whether they would carry the amount of oomph that others on LRQ have recommended for proper work with LR. My goal is to get an iMac as new as possible and with a 27" screen. However, it is time for me to upgrade my system to a newer computer with a higher OS (currently have 10.11.6 El Capitan), and I am requesting help in configuring a refurbished unit that I will search for and buy. I realize that it is "obsolete," but then again, so am I. And so I decided to stick with 6.14 (desktop) and own a perpetual license for as long as Adobe allows its existence. I occasionally use Lightroom 6.14 for mostly personal work, as I am a writer and an (occasional) amateur photographer.
