Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.6.1 for Mac
Mac Photo & DesignAdobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.6.1 for Mac holds a special place for photographers: version 6 was the last Lightroom sold with a perpetual licence, meaning you paid once and owned it outright. It is a catalogue-based photo manager and non-destructive RAW editor, designed to import, organise, develop and export large shoots from one library stored on your own drives.
Its Develop module handles exposure, colour, lens corrections and local adjustments, while the Library module adds keywords, ratings and smart collections. Honest status: Lightroom 6 is discontinued. Adobe ended its updates in December 2017, no longer sells it, and newer cameras' RAW files and current macOS versions are not supported. The official page below now sells the subscription Lightroom, its modern successor.
Key Features
- Catalogue-based library with keywords, flags, ratings and smart collections
- Non-destructive RAW development with lens profiles and camera calibrations
- HDR and panorama merging built into the Develop workflow
- Face recognition and tagging for organising portraits and family archives
- Print, book, slideshow and web gallery modules for sharing finished work
How to Download
- Download from the official site
- Lightroom 6 is no longer sold, so that page offers the current subscription Lightroom with a free trial.
- Existing owners should sign in to their Adobe account, where previously registered licences and installers may still be listed.
Is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.6.1 free?
No. It was paid software and is now discontinued. There is no legal free full version; downloads offered elsewhere are unlicensed copies of unsupported software.
Should I still use Lightroom 6?
Only with caution. It cannot open RAW files from cameras released after its final update and gets no security fixes. Most photographers are better served by the current Lightroom or Lightroom Classic subscription.
