that link is *not* the same as the above, which is *exactly* why tinyurl is *bad* and should never be used, as it doesn't necessarily go to where the user says it does.

in the case of the above, it goes through an ad-tracker which can be blocked (and often is).

"In order to leverage the latest operating system features and technologies, Lightroom 6 will require Mac OS X 10.8 or above, or a 64 bit version of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1."

Makes sense, but how many will be left with version 5?

nospam
almost none, since that's basically the same as lightroom 5.

the only difference is 10.7 is no longer supported for lightroom 6, which affects almost nobody.

I wonder if there is any data on this. How many here use a 32bit operating system?

nospam
of course there's data, and adobe has it.

anyone still stuck on 32 bit systems isn't worth the trouble to support anymore and holds back advancement for the rest of the world.

it's a complete non-issue.
