Importing from a camera using a USB cable is broken.

Lightroom Desktop (the cloud-based version) If Print is essential for you, do not update to Ventura yet.

Some other Print issues are also under investigation, but it’s not yet clear whether they’re caused by Lightroom or the operating system or the driver.

Page Setup button in Print module crashes Lightroom – FIXED in macOS 13.3 update.

Import from iPhone via USB cable gets confused over capture date/time – FIXED in Classic 12.2.

Importing from a Nikon camera using a USB cable is broken.

(Reported to be working for some people in 12.2, but not for others.)

Tethering with Nikon cameras doesn’t work.

Catalogs running on external drives won’t run. FIXED in Classic 12.0.1.

There are known issues in the latest Lightroom Classic releases when running on Ventura: Here’s the official Adobe post on Adobe Apps and Ventura. Again, see our notes on these at the end of this post – we’ll update as fixes or new drivers are available. It’s not just Lightroom itself (and there are some issues, although these will be fixed), but we’re also awaiting feedback on compatibility of peripherals. As we hear of more, we’ll update the list. But at this point we’d recommend waiting.

However, some issues are already known and are listed below. The short answer is – it’s too early to be sure of all the potential issues. It’s a good question, as the last thing anyone wants is to update their Operating System only to find critical apps either don’t work or don’t work properly. The big question is, do Lightroom and Lightroom Classic work? The newest Mac operating system, macOS 13 Ventura, goes live today.
