Some other compatibility notes I’ve seen: In the actual shipping version of Lion, Flash hardware acceleration works fine. This is not true it was based on a test with a late beta version of OS X.

This may solve the current issues.įlash Player: There were some early reports that hardware acceleration for Flash is disabled in Lion.

Note: In OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Apple is changing how full screen apps work on multiple monitors. Given all that, I don’t have a problem with Adobe holding back on Lion full screen support until Apple brings the feature up a couple notches, so that at least we don’t lose the features we have with the Adobe full screen mode. It increasingly looks like what Apple really means by “full screen” is “full single screen,” as in an iOS-style presentation. Even Macworld has similar complaints about Lion full screen mode. Similarly, in Safari full screen mode, browser windows only get to live on one monitor, even if you try to drag them to another (it snaps back). Apple Preview and QuickTime Player at least let me maintain palettes on my second monitor while in full screen mode, but documents still only get to appear on one monitor. There are reports that the Apple implementation of full screen is not ideal even with Apple’s own Aperture, where if you have multiple monitors, you only get to use Aperture on one of your monitors, while the others get the blank Lion “gray linen” backdrop. You can customize the shortcut using the Mac OS X Keyboard system preference, but because it’s system-wide, some apps may use a conflicting shortcut.)

( Update: Many Lion apps use Ctrl+Cmd+F to enter and exit Lion full screen, and some apps will exit full screen with the Esc key. For some this might be confusing, others may see this as simpler. Also, I can’t find an Apple keyboard shortcut for Lion full screen mode, while Photoshop provides a full-screen keyboard shortcut you can customize. I did find that in apps that support Lion full screen mode, you can switch between documents if you use the Control+arrow key shortcut which is also used to switch Spaces in other words, Lion seems to lose the traditional distinction between switching Spaces and documents. I tried this out in a few of Apple’s own apps such as Safari, and it’s true. In the full screen mode that Photoshop has used for years, you can press the Mac standard Command+` keyboard shortcut to switch between open documents, but in Lion full screen mode, you can’t. On his Twitter feed (see tweet 1 and tweet 2), of Photoshop Engineering David Howe) explained that in Lion, full screen mode is like putting a document in its own Space. For Lightroom, the Adobe page above states that Lightroom 2.7 and later are verified to work on Lion.įull screen mode: People are asking about support for Lion full screen mode in apps such as Photoshop. Photoshop and Lightroom compatibility with Mac OS X 10.7 LionĪnecdotally, the word is that Photoshop seems to work fine (except for droplets) as far back as CS3, the first Intel-native version.

And Macworld has published an article about various kinds of incompatibilities you might run into with Lion, including the end of support for PowerPC applications which I talk about at the end of this article.

In this article I’ve collected various reports I’ve run into around the web.įor an in-depth analysis of Lion itself, including less obvious changes Apple made under the hood, see the Lion review by John Siracusa at Ars Technica-as excellent and detailed as his reviews typically are.
