How do I update?
To update, go to Help menu > Updates or click the Update button in the CC app. The update servers take a while to push the updates around the world, to avoid overloading the servers. You can also open the Creative Cloud app, click the … icon (top right) and select Check for Updates to give it a nudge.
Is the book updated?
The eBooks for Adobe Lightroom Classic – The Missing FAQ and for Adobe Lightroom – Edit Like a Pro were updated for the August 8.4 and 2.4 changes, and can be downloaded immediately after purchasing. If you’re already a current Premium Member, the updated eBooks are available for download in your Members Area.
Although the list of bug fixes here says ‘Lightroom Classic GPU unavailable on Win7 on graphics cards that don’t support DirectX12’, I can confirm that this fix also applies to non-Metal graphics cards on the Mac. After updating to 8.4.1, my Mid-2010 Mac Pro with ATI Radeon HD 5770 now shows ‘Your system automatically supports basic acceleration’ in the preferences.
I found this very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
