Re DNG Converter to convert Sony ARW files on CS5 on older Mac.

I have on older Macbook Pro (2010) and I was using DNG converter 11.0 to convert RAW files for use on CS5.

Latest Sony ARW files will not convert without DNG converter 13, but DNG Converter 13 will only work with Mac OS 10.14 or later and my Mac (2010) will not update OS past OS 10.13.

Dead End. Any Solutions?

I've just had the same problem now and it was terrible. I bought a Sony A7C after using happily an A7II for many years. My Mac is from 2011, yes it's older but I loved it, it was very fast, that's why I haven't changed yet. I came home with my new camera and realized that the Mac can't handle the ARW files at all, and the programs I would need (for example the DNG converter) can't be used on High Sierra, the last OS my Mac can run. Dead end. I spent like hours with searching for solution but there isn't any so I had to change my Mac asap, because I use the A7C for work. This problem should be more known, anyone I asked (I posted the question to a Sony milc group in my country too) never heard of this and I'm and many of them are professionals. This really sucks.

I know it has been a wile, but I have a Mac running Mojave and I really can't update because of other apps which I need, so the only solution is going with Capture One. Since I am on the Qdobe surbsription service. it is rather worhless to me. It would be a simple matter for adobe to cater to those who don't choose to update ... so do it.
