TribesMan Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 It works under Rosetta, it is PPC app... slow as hell. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-40729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfn Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Damn! I was hoping this would be my new photo tool for mac. Does anyone know if they're working on a unibin? Maybe one of the future betas will have it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-41193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 One man's slow is another man's adequate.... You should download it and try it out for yourself. It seems pretty usable to me at this point. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-41195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiberia Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Lightroom isn't coming out of beta until at least the end of the year, so i wouldn't look for a unibin beta version until at least the summer (if at all - they'll just probably release the unibin as final). I wouldn't like to try it on my 86 box, it would probably kill it lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-42735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuliand Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 can someone tell me how to get it running? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-42830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfn Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks like Beta 2 *may* be universal: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforum...ssageid=3951997 http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforum...ssageid=3953118 ... and the first link says Beta 2 is "coming soon now". cool!

kuliand Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 can someone please tell me how to use rosetta, there is no option to run using rosetta when i go into "get info" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-43886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfn Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think you only get the Rosetta option if it's a universal binary. Since this is a PPC app only, it uses Rosetta by default. I just installed it and tried running, and I get the same error ("Adobe Lightroom requires a vector unit in the processor (a G4 or G5 PPC chip).") ... damn! Gotta wait for that unibin I guess.

kuliand Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 but other people are saying they have got it running, do i need 10.4.3 im currently running 10.4.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-43900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfn Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Maybe... but I am running 10.4.3 (8f1099) and it doesn't work. Perhaps one needs 8f1111. But I bet it's simply that our processors aren't supported. I guess I'll just wait for Beta 2, which might be a unibin. For now I'm installing iPhoto 6, which at least will give me the satisfaction of playing around with a new photo program for a while.

jrrjrr Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think you need to be running the Maxxuss 4.2 emulation version kernel on 8f1111(a). I think it added in a few more SSE3 emulations that cover vector-based code.

kuliand Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 ok i will try and get 10.4.3 to give it a go. i hope it doesn't need QE or CI, i wish nvidia would releass some x86 mac drivers.

jrrjrr Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have it running without QE/CI with an nVidia FX5200 in my laptop. Remember to get the latest Maxxuss patched kernel. I think the most recent JaS PPF patch from about 2 weeks ago uses this kernel. I can also run Aperture on my machine, with these versions, using the patched Aperture that skips the check for CPU, etc. It runs slowly but it runs fully. Lightroom runs much faster though, and I find the interface easier to use because it is closer to what I am used to from Photoshop/Bridge/Raw Converter, but it is much nicer and way more streamlined than that set of monster apps.

ccihon Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You do need Alitivec/G4 emulation to run this PPC app, same as with Aperture...in fact aperture requires a patch and Altivec.....so the only version that works is 1111a (g?) I've tried Aperture...I get no preview window even though I have a a GMA 900 board with QE and CI. Lightroom seems to work just fine...a bit slow. i still like it because for me, PS2 Camera Raw is broken under 1111a...hoping next version is a unibin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6578-adobe-lightroom-beta/#findComment-44383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
