macOS 27 aka “Golden Gate” has been announced, so I gave the developer beta a spin on a separate volume on a M1 MacBook Air.
I converted one roll of negatives successfully with NLP 3.1.1 on Lightroom Classic 15.3.1.
(Photos taken in 1978 on Kodakcolor 400, converted with “Frontier” Color Model and pre-saturation set to 3 - and roll analysis. No other edits except for WB, crop, flip and rotate)
Caution: I do these tests on a separate Mac that I can reinstall at any given moment because it is NOT doing any productive work. Don’t play with betas on your main computer!!!
Converted a few more images, this time with Lightroom 15.4: No issues found.

Thank you! Do you know if epson scan 2 runs on Golden Gate by any chance?
We’re talking about the very first version of MacOS 27 Developer Beta. Whether whatever software can/will do on it remains to be tested or seen. Some of these sights are reported here.
I test this early beta because I want to see what I’ll get when I eventually get a new desktop Mac, and the two candidates (Mini and iMac) I’m interested in will probably ship with Tahoe (which I don’t like) or GoGa later this year. As of now, the looks of macOS26 and 27 are similar, but 27 has an additional slider that can reduce the translucency, which was and still is the most awful idea in UI design. Mix light fonts with low contrast and translucency to get UI (User Indignation) and I always marvel at the clear presentation of what was still called “Mac OS X”. Current UI designs are cool to look at from a distance and increasingly unusable to work with. If I had to describe the designs with one slightly exaggerating word, it’d be "AAAARGHH!
In order to not inundate the forum with off-topic stuff, I ask all of you to only add posts that are about NLP. If you want and dare, get the beta from mrmacintosh.com, do your tests and add your findings here. BEWARE: NEVER EVER USE YOUR MAIN COMPUTER FOR SUCH TESTS.
