Just did the latest update to LR6, but version # didn't seem to change. Any thoughts?

Where are you looking? Try Help>About.... and look for some fine print near the top of the screen. You should see 6.3

You didn't install it right. As far as I can tell, there seems to be two or three ways to do it.

1. From the Help menu in Lightroom
2. Using the Adobe application manager
3. Direct download

Help then tells me I have correct version.
App manager doesn't work.
Cannot locate download version of 6.3 update on the Adobe.com site

sbesaw gave you a link a couple posts up. In the article there is a link to Adobe:

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/11/lightroom-cc-2015-3-6-3-now-available.html

Look for the section titled Download Instructions. There are links to Mac and PC versions. I'm sure there are other ways to find them too, but this should work.


(Download)

Thank you. Wet to Chrome and found it. It seems to be downloading a file "setup.dmg", is that the correct file?
Thank you. The link initially did not function, but your's did.

While mine is loading, it displays "Lightroom 6.3."

I thought Adobe quit using the setup files. Anyway, a number of software houses will download a small "installer application" that will then download and install the real target file.

The main change was that it reverted LR6 import back to the conventional settings instead of Adobe's new "easier" setup. They had hundreds of their customers (including me) complaining that the new import was a step backwards rather that solving a non-existent problem. The other issues in the update were all bug fixes and new camera/lens data.

Finally! Thank you. Setup.dmg was the file, and I now have 6.3.
