Bought a new camera. Found out that my Photoshop and Lightroom does not support this camera (which sucked). Decide to go ahead and order the online versions. Then find out that my computer doesn't meet system requirements. So frustrated. At this point, may see if dealer will buy back the camera because this is getting too complicated and I can not get answers anywhere.

If you are not a professional and love photography, you might enjoy using the CC version of Lightroom which is completely independent of your computer. It is completely in the cloud. That said there are trade-offs because this new cloud-based Lightroom is light on features. However, if you are using a new camera and more focused on shooting and sharing rather than editing for work related instances you might like this path.

When your livelihood depends on technology keeping software and hardware up to date is not a choice. There may be an upgrade path we can recommend if you can provide the basic information about your system and new camera.

I have been trying to update my computer to the specifications that adobe lightroom requires but it will not work. It doesnt even allow me to use lightroom CC ? not sure what the probem is. I am using a MacOS10.10.5 high sierra

I am having the exact same problem! I just got my new camera and went to tether to Lightroom as I have with my 5D Mark 3 and it wouldn't work with my new 5d mark 4. So I went to move from Lightroom 6 to the Lightroom Classic CC and it won't load onto my laptop.

To run the latest Photoshop and new cloud-based Lightroom CC or desktop Lightroom Classic CC, you need a modern desktop computer with a supporting Windows or Mac operating system and all the latest updates. It goes without saying that the minimum system requirements are mere suggestions. You'll get much more enjoyment from your products with a faster CPU, bigger hard drive, extra RAM and a good graphics card to support your OS + other apps & utilities + Creative Cloud + PS + LR + Bridge + Camera Raw, etc...

If your desktop computer is less than 24 months old, you can probably upgrade your system to meet these requirements. If you're using a laptop or older desktop, it's probably time to invest in a new one.

Thank you, Nancy. I did try to download the dng converter but got lost along the way. I will give it another shot if you think it is a good solution. Will see if upgrading to high sierra has any benefit.
