With that little nugget, it may be useful to consider the Adobe DNG option. I know, we all think that Adobe will be around forever, but the same was also thought of Kodak 20 years ago – and now those Kodak CD’s are becoming difficult to manage. The Adobe DNG stands for a Digital NeGative so it may help to think of this as a way of preserving your original data, yet still making it accessible, regardless of what other developments happen in the software world down the road. This is a really cool utility and it gets updated on the same schedule as the Adobe Camera Raw utility that is unique to the image-editing applications of all Photoshop applications (CS4, LR, etc.). Granted, I did upgrade to CS3 because of my interest in the field, but for those that either may not be interested in the software upgrade, or cannot afford to upgrade, there is a free alternative from Adobe – the Adobe DNG converter. ![]() My Canon 40D was stuck in between application life cycles, and as a result, I was no longer able to process my CR2 files from the 40D natively in CS2. Well CS2 development stopped as CS3 development started. The best example of this was when I did my upgrade of the Canon XT to the Canon 40D just last year (or was it two years ago now?)…at the time I was using Adobe Photoshop CS2 to process my files. The reason? Camera file formats! As camera vendors develop new proprietary formats for their raw file formats (CR2 for Canon and NEF for Nikon as the two predominant players in the game), the need has always existed to update your software to accommodate the new formats for body upgrades. Just as a new camera body can necesitate the need for larger memory cards, hardware upgrades can also come with software upgrades.

Below is a screenshot of the kind of thing you might see. This is a split screen so if you click on the title of an application on the top, the bottom shows some info on the application. To find out how much of your software is 64-bit, go to the Apple menu and select the top one "About this Mac." Then click on the lower left button: "System Report." Then on the left hand column, in the Software section, click on the word "Applications." Depending on how many applications you have this may take a few moments to minutes to build and it will give you a complete list of every software item you have on your computer. So if you have old software, be prepared to update that as well. 14 which was 64-bit but failed to run at all in Mojave. The reason is that with Mojave, you absolutely must have 64 bit software where in X.13 (High Sierra), you could still run 32-bit.īut that is not necessarily the whole story: I had FileMaker Pro v. ![]() If you go to High Sierra (X.13), you may have less of an issue with software than if you go to Mojave.
