Compatibility: Nikon D850, Camera RAW, Adobe DNG converter, mac OS 10.13.6

[TT-7]

I have a MAC with OS 10.13.6. It cannot be upagrade to a higher OS. It is perfectly compatible with RAW images from my Nikon D810.

I now have a Nikon D850. So I have to use DNG Converter. Adobe advises that it has only the most recent version of DNG Converter available, 13.2. This version DNG Converter requires an OS of 10.14 or higher.  So I need

\     - anolder version of DNG Converter or

     - an older version of Camerta RAW, 9.12 ( I think this would work with the D850) or

     - a new computer or

     - throw the D850 in the lake and use my D810.

Any suggestions?

I should have noted that I have Photoshop CS^ installed in my computer.

CS6! Sorry!

Yes, I downloaded DNG 13.2, but it could not be installed on OS 10.13.6. Thanks.

Did you download and try 13.2?

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble while trying to open the images from the Nikon D850 in Photoshop CS6. The last Camera Raw version that Photoshop CS6 can support is version 9.1.1. Please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html

The support for the Nikon D850 was rolled out with Camera Raw version 9.12.1. Please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

We no longer have the download links for the older versions of the Adobe DNG converter available on our website.

Regards,

Nikunj

Here is the adobe DNG Converter 12.4 from the Adobe FTP site, which i believe is the last version to work with 10.13.6 and should support your Nikon D850 nefs.

Jeff  --  You are a genius! It took me a couple of tries to download and install it, but I finally succeeded! And it works! So I get to keep both my old computer and my new camera!

Thanks very much!

Thank you for sharing! I have the same problem (that my laptop is too old and can not upgrade anymore).

However, I wonder if that converter is really over 300MB large? I can not really believe it, but the download does not seem to stop...

[Jeff Arola]

The dng converter 12.4 for mac is around 475 mb, not because of the converter itself, but due to the camera and lens profiles included in the download.

Okay, thank you.
