Photo Taco Software Updates Status

Before getting into things let me give a really quick Photo Taco status on the updates to software right now.  I am working on a status page over at phototacopodcast.com but until that is there let me just quickly give you my status for this as of mid-November 2018.

The macOS Mojave update has been available for several weeks now.  There were some early bumps but in general things seem to be pretty stable now.  A minor update patch has also been released with important security updates. The challenge is the Adobe products.  Adobe didn’t officially support Mojave until the release of their up...
