Adobe tends to be the go to platform for digital image professionals.
The company recently announced that Adobe Lightroom 6 would no longer support 32-bit operating systems. You'll need a 64-bit OS in order to use the software.
The company officially lists Mac OS 10.8 or higher and 64-bit versions Windows 7 or later as being supported.
(Windows did produce 64-but versions of Windows Vista. That OS is not listed as being capable of running Lightroom 6.)
There are valid reasons to limit a graphics program like Lightroom to 64-bit operating systems. 64-bit operating systems are capable of accessing much larger amounts of RAM than their 32-bit counterparts. This can greatly increase performance of memory intensive programs like Lightroom.
Adobe has made the announcement in advance of releasing Lightroom 6 in order to give users a chance to switch to a 64-bit OS.
