Adobe Lightroom Classic For Mac 2024 13.0.1 May 2026

This version is not revolutionary—it’s . The 13.0 release introduced bold AI tools, but 13.0.1 irons out the instability that plagued early adopters. For Mac users, the combination of Metal 3 acceleration, Apple Neural Engine support for Lens Blur, and faster cloud sync makes this the most responsive version of Lightroom Classic to date, provided you are running Apple Silicon.
