In the last hours different polls and comments have been made in forums, of users who use the Mac for intensive processes in image editing, both video, photography and sound. As is often the case with almost all early versions of operating systems on almost any platform, Certain professional applications are not yet fully adapted to macOS Mojave.
In the macOS High Sierra version, Final Cut Pro X itself had a minor problem, which is not the case with Mojave today. Instead, Adobe applications like Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, and Acrobat are buggy at this point.
Beginning with Photoshop, the errors are found in the latest version Photoshop CC 2018, in certain filters. On Macs equipped with the following graphics: FirePro D300, FirePro D50 and Radeon R9 M370X, we must disable the use of the GPU if we do not want annoying black dots to show in the image. Of course, disabling the GPU work slows down, bypassing a vital editor tool.
In this same application, the dark mode it is not completely finished, leaving some parts still unadapted to the new Mojave interface. In addition, it gives the feeling of being an unfinished version, as we find adapted sections, while others are not.
Performing further tests with Adobe applications, we found that the application stops responding in Lightroom Classic 7.5 and Lightroom CC 1.5 versions if we make the change to dark mode with the application open.
In the case of Illustrator CC, certain applications that run in the background, we can see them open in the Dock, if we have enabled the function of displaying recent applications. The system does not interpret that it is a background action and displays it, creating confusion. As for the quintessential PDF reader and editor, acrobat reeder, we can see printing, capture and conversion problems to PDF.
Both Adobe and Apple are working to improve these bugs. Although it is advertised that certain Adobe applications not included in their Cloud versionsas the Lightroom 6 they will not go to Mojave, with the discomfort of these users.
This news stopped me just as I was about to update the operating system in the office Imac ...
Will you keep us posted on when Adobe solves these problems? is there a thread we can follow to find out?
Thank you very much
@Andrea: there are many blogs where people are paid to write but have zero feedback with their readers (followers who tell you now)… this is a clear example. In my case, I can tell you that I installed Mojave on my MacBook Pro (2015) and the system looks very good, although it does show that it is a beta. I have the entire Adobe 2018 suite installed and it is working fine, although it has indeed had some restarts that did not happen in HighSierra. The most annoying thing for me is the problem that appears with the focus of the windows that until now nobody has spoken. I recommend you stay with High Sierra until Mojave is 100% but its improvements are really good and make life easier, even if it is not yet a totally stable system.
I have been working with Mac from Classic and before it was a system that you could repair yourself.
A good part of the updates are based on "programmed obesity", they improve 4 bullshit and force you to update many programs that previously worked.
Mojave gives problems verified by real users, IN EXCHANGE of a dark environment, which can be done largely without it.
The price is to stop using applications like Photoshop.
Mojave, no thanks.
