I am sure other hosts on the podcast will be as well. I will be one of those early settlers taking an arrow and trying things out. The best I can tell you is stay tuned here on the website and to the podcast. With Photoshop and Lightroom we have to get Apple and Adobe to work together to get through any bumps in the road, and while that partnership seems to be a pretty good one, the partnership with Microsoft isn't too bad these days either (Microsoft was up on the stage at the last Apple event) and there are clearly issues there to work through. #Os x el capitan won t install updateI don't know when it will be safe to trust the update exactly. But why take the risk of upgrading and discovering there is a show-stopping problem with Lightroom or Photoshop? If the newly developed Office 2016 apps that were also released just this week are having issues, my guess is there is a good chance other applications are going to have some issues. #Os x el capitan won t install upgradeSo I am supposed to delay my upgrade to the shiny new thing because of Microsoft applications? You probably don't even use the Microsoft applications because Google Docs or the Apple iWork suite meets your photography business needs, so why should you care if the Microsoft Office 2016 suite is crashing all over the place on El Capitan? You may not. #Os x el capitan won t install for macTo some extent that has already happened in fact, and the user forums where early adopting geeks can't wait to try things before they are even fully released and they are saying the new (and vastly improved) Office for Mac 2016 applications have been very unstable under the GM (“gold master”) build of Apple's new “El Capitan” release of OS X. What I am suggesting is this is one place I think you really need to exercise some caution and just wait for the early settlers to take the arrows as they forge ahead in the brave new world. I am not suggesting that if you can't stand not pushing the button in the App Store and updating to El Capitan you will immediately see all kinds of problems. It isn't because Windows 10 is bad (I like it a lot and think it is going to prove to be very good), but there are enough bumps with those who have gone ahead with the upgrade to Windows 10 I just don't think that is something a photographer can afford to take on right now. If you are following my updates here at and on the Improve Photography website you have heard me say that I DO NOT recommend photographers who use Windows PCs for their photo editing recommend to Windows 10. With something that important to your business, you simply can't play around with it. It is absolutely vital to the success of a modern photographer. ![]() That's why we talk about the computer and the software we use on them a lot on this website and in the podcasts. Is there really anything more important to your business than your computer? If you were without your computer for a few days, how much would it cost your business? I am betting you nearly break out into a cold sweat just thinking about it. ![]() That is not the case if your Mac is the computer you use for your photo editing. Your phone may play a pretty crucial role in your small business as a significant productivity tool, but if you had to go a couple of days without it or had to wipe it out and start over because of some update gone bad it likely wouldn't amount to a lot more than an inconvenience. Even more important, Metal for Mac may eventually prove to be important for photographers as soon as Adobe leverages it for Lightroom and Photoshop (let's hope they don't mess that up like they did graphics processor support).īut I am pleading with you to consider this objectively, while trying to convince myself of this too. For example, the improvement to the Notes application is something I think I will like a lot. #Os x el capitan won t install mac osI am excited about several of the features that Apple is adding to the Mac OS with El Capitan. If there is something new, I have to get it. I am the guy who has to update EVERYTHING as soon as it is out. But It's New and Shiny!ĭon't get me wrong. Specifically, if you use the recently released Office for Mac 2016 apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), you should wait. I am saying that if your business DEPENDS upon your Mac, and if you are a photographer how could it not, you should wait. #Os x el capitan won t install installDon't install “El Capitan” today! I am not saying this because I am the PC guy on the podcast, or because I hate Mac. ![]()
