New editing programs? No **** good . Why do developers have to make life so complicated, expensive and difficult? its not compatible with OSX Lion Each one make life difficult, not easy, have to up grade again Each time costing a fortune to buy more up grades to run with the up grade!

Photographers were talking at our club how we are so fed up having to up grade software . To run new programs. And then once the operating system is up graded, So does everything ells costing a fortune,

Photography is not making enough money to justify the cost, Even as a hobby. And why release thing that are not tested properly?

For Apple applications, go to this portion of the tip, and post in the various forums your questions for the Apple Professional applications:

Word doesn't change. You may need to upgrade your Office to version 2011 14.5.6 or later, but that's the limit of El Capitan's difference.

Parallels does have updates on their website, and you should check how far they go.

Plugins are hit and miss.

See my user tip:

For more tips on upgrading to El Capitan.

As for whether it is worth it, that's the question only the users of the individual applications can answer.

You can always test a separate partition with El Capitan, and see what works and what doesn't.
