As it turns out, Lightroom 3 will not support PowerPC which, for me, means I’m left out for this upgrade. I do all of my photo processing on a dual 2.7ghz G5 which happens to be plenty fast enough for the task, but is running off the wrong chipset. It’s truly a shame that a perfectly good $3000 tower isn’t capable of running new software. What’s worse is that I can only get about $600 on ebay if I were to try to sell it.

Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 has the following requirements for Mac:

Mac OS

  • Intel based processor
  • Mac OS X v10.5 or 10.6
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 1GB of available hard-disk space
  • 1,024×768 display
