There's no reason necessarily to upgrade to Ventura as it has some UI modifications…but OTOH there's no real reason not to upgrade to it as well. I upgraded my M1 MBP the day or two after Sonoma was released and LR Classic and PS work just fine. I would take a look at one of the many "what's new in macOS Sonoma" articles on the various macOS related websites and make sure you're ok with what it does first. The biggest change is that by default clicking on the desktop hides all your windows…I don't like this particular change but it's easy enough to revert it to the old way in System Preferences -> Desktop.

Overall…probably time to upgrade…but make sure you have backups, clones and all that jazz beforehand.

Hi all. My MacBook Pro is currently running on Ventura 13.4. Not only do I keep getting messages to upgrade, but I've also had lapses in downloading email lately.

I'm looking to our Hogs for experiences and advice on the best choice. My main priority is choosing one that does not interfere with access to my Lightroom catalog. I'm currently running LR Classic 12.4.

Many thanks in advance for your guidance.

Sonoma 14.1 and Lightroom 13.0.1 work great together for me. I've had no issue with any software after moving to Somona on my Mac Mini with an Apple M2 chip.
