Troubleshooting Lightroom Classic Issues on Your Mac Mini

Are you experiencing issues with Lightroom Classic on your Mac mini? If so, this article is here to help you troubleshoot and resolve any problems you may be facing.

Firstly, ensure that Lightroom Classic is listed in the Accessibility settings of your Mac. To do this, unlock the window by clicking the lock at the bottom left corner, then click the + icon and navigate to the Applications folder. Select Accessibility from the list on the left and check if Lightroom Classic is added with a checkmark.

Next, head to System Preferences, then Security and Privacy, and select the Privacy tab. You can try the steps below to ensure that Lightroom Classic has the necessary permissions.

If you're still experiencing issues, it would be helpful to know what version of macOS you're running on your Mac mini. Additionally, Adobe has announced plans for native compatibility with M1 Macs in 2021, and currently, the app runs under Rosetta emulation.

In terms of performance, I've found that slider responsiveness can be a bit slow when making changes in Lightroom Classic. However, this isn't necessarily a major issue for me, as long as the overall performance is good. In fact, my experience with an older iMac was much worse in this regard.

It's worth noting that many reviews of M1 Macs focus on import and export performance, HDR merge, and panoramic merge. While these are important considerations, they're not the only factors to think about when it comes to photo editing software like Lightroom Classic.

In my experience using a 2017 MacBook Pro with 16G memory, I've found that the discrete graphics card provides better performance than my older iMac. If you're considering purchasing an M1 Mac, I'd be happy to share more of my thoughts and experiences with Lightroom Classic on these devices.

Overall, while there may be some issues with Lightroom Classic on your Mac mini, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve any problems you may be facing. By following these tips, you should be able to get the most out of this powerful photo editing software.
