Lightroom
Lightroom is Adobe's photo management and editing application, available in two versions: Lightroom Classic (desktop-focused, designed for photographers with large libraries and advanced local editing tools) and Lightroom (the newer cloud-centric version). Both support RAW image processing, non-destructive editing, library organization, batch operations, and integration with Adobe's cloud services. Lightroom Classic is widely used by professional photographers, retouchers and serious amateurs who manage thousands of images locally; Lightroom appeals to casual photographers and those who prioritize cloud synchronization across devices. Both are part of Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription.

1 suggestionThe bundle ID com.adobe.Lightroom3 refers to an older, discontinued version of Lightroom that Adobe no longer supports. Adobe has long since moved forward to Lightroom Classic and the modern Lightroom (cloud-based), both of which have shipped native Apple Silicon builds since 2020. If you are still running Lightroom 3, you should update to the current version of either Lightroom Classic or Lightroom available through Adobe's Creative Cloud — both run natively on Apple Silicon and have been receiving active development and security updates for years. Simply log into your Adobe Creative Cloud account, open the Creative Cloud Manager desktop app, find Lightroom or Lightroom Classic in your installed apps, and click "Update" to pull the latest native build. Your photo library and preferences will migrate seamlessly. If you do not currently have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can start a free trial or purchase a subscription from Adobe's website. This matters because the Intel-only Lightroom 3 will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
