Adobe Lightroom Classic 2025 – free download for macOS

Lightroom Classic gives you all the desktop editing tools you need to bring out the best in your photos. Punch up colors, make dull-looking shots vibrant, remove distracting objects, and straighten skewed shots. Easily organize all your photos on your desktop and share them in a variety of ways.

  • More creative control: Powerful new masking tools let you make more precise adjustments so you can easily take your editing to the next level.
  • Make any distraction disappear: New Content-Aware Remove lets you erase anything in seconds. Just select an object or blemish and Lightroom Classic will automatically sample nearby areas of your image to blend it away.
  • Preset it and perfect it: Apply presets to specific parts of your photo in just a click with Adaptive Presets — use them to create more dramatic skies and make your subjects stand out.
  • Get to know Lightroom: Lightroom is the cloud-based service that gives you everything you need to edit, organize, store, and share your photos across any device.

How to

Step 1: Install Creative Cloud

Step 2: Right click and select Open to run the Install file (of course, you must turn off gatekeeper first). For example, if you can’t open it, right click on the Install file> Select Show Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Run the Install file.

Step 3: After installation, open the Lightroom file once and log in to any Creative cloud account (this step is extremely important, do not do it wrong, must log in before patching).

Step 4: Right click and select Open to run the Patch File installation (The installation may take a while, be patient and drink a cup of coffee, don’t post to the Group to ask right away)

This version is good because you can use any account, it does not need to be a Trial account like the previous version. I just tried to register a new account.

Note 1 (Important): LR requires an Internet connection when opening, so absolutely do not use any software to block the connection. Otherwise, it will fail.

Note 2: If the first time you open it, it will show an error as shown in the picture. Open it again and it will work.

Note 3: Due to the unofficial installation (not from Creative Cloud), LR may not appear in launchpad. Go to Application > Adobe Lightroom Classic > drag to Dock for convenience next time.
