I have a rather new I Mac that I use for editing my photographs, I have decided to wait for awhile to see if there has been any problems. Most concerned about my plug-ins (Nik especially) and the settings for
my Wacom tablet. If any of my fellow HedgeHogs have any thoughts or experiences I would welcome them, thank you Rich M.

It appears macOS "High Sierra" may not work with Wacom tablets until October.

FWIW:

Jumped on High Sierra as soon as I could get it

Download and install went fast and smooth

I run Lightroom CC. Photoshop, Bridge, Fastrawviewer, NIK collection, Topaz plugins, Jeffery Friedl plug-ins, RayaPro and several other plugins for Lightroom/Photoshop - no troubles with any of them

The only issue I have is with Snapheal which no longer will select objects by paint. But will select by lasso - awaiting a patch by Macphun

FWIW - Just tried using my Wacom Tablet on my iMac with High Sierra - seems to work just as it always did with Sierra.

I got an email from this guy (Apple guru) yesterday, and he recommends holding off. He says there isn't enough improvement

"Mac OS High Sierra: Do Not Upgrade
Hi Everyone. As you might imagine, as soon as MacOS High Sierra was out, yours truly was testing for bugs, new features, etc. and ready to bring you all the latest information. And now that I've had some time to play with it, I have to be honest: The features are very...very...light (to the point where our "new features" video is only 7 minutes long and that includes features that, frankly don't even feel worthy of a video). I am going to strongly recommend that everyone hold off upgrading at this time.

Here's the thing...
Anytime you upgrade your Mac, you have to consider the risks. In this case, I don't feel the benefits come close to outweighing the risks."

There are always naysayers for anything new, they just cast doubt on anything new in order to feel important. Myself, I downloaded the new High Sierra as soon as available, no issues, and it went smoothly. As nearly all that have upgraded report good results. I see no reason to “Call Wolf”.

I never upgrade to Sierra as I read (I think here) that there were issues with Lightroom. I have recently upgraded to Lightroom 6. Does anyone know if this works well with Sierra OS?

Wacom announced that the driver for their tablets will NOT work with High Sierra until an update is made in Late October. I don't plan to upgrade to High Sierra until there are at least two Apple revisions and the Wacom driver is updated as well.

As stated above.. I upgraded to High Sierra, and my Wacom tablet seems to work fine. Not sure what the issue is supposed to be.

Sometimes, the comments section tells the tale....
