Presuming you have compatible hardware, there's no real negative to upgrading 
macOS to the latest version.

Fear mostly a lot of my old stand by programs will not work, or so i'm
told and woul dhave to upgrade several, which i am aware needs to be
done. But fear mostly

I can understand that.

The best way to combat fear is to work from the basis of knowledge: before I 
install OS updates on my main system, I build a test system with the updated OS 
and test all my standard tools, in their latest incarnations. Doing this makes 
it very clear what to expect when I install the OS for real on my main system. 
I'd recommend anyone resisting a system upgrade do that first. If too much then 
proves broken, and you can't afford to ... or simply can't ... upgrade some 
essential bits, you can stay clear until you sort out the incompatibility or 
move to other software. 

No big deal, really ... In the end, if what you have does the job, just keep 
using it. But if it doesn't do the job then you have to do something to enable 
forward motion. :-)

Re: OT work flow

[David J Brooks]

I will try that Igor but in recent attempts the newer DNG conversion
program is not supported by 10.6.8, however i will try again.

As far as shootoing jpg i have the filter set for a red filter B and
RAW so i can have B*W and colour should i need it. I guess thats where
i'm messing up some what then.:??

Re: OT work flow

[Igor PDML-StR]

Dave,

I understand your fear... ;-)

This path your are using defeats the purpose of shooting RAW. in that 
case, as Cotty has suggested, - just shoot JPEGs.


If you want to benefit from the RAW while using LR, you might consider 
using a DNG converter from Adobe.

So, your work flow would be:
1. Convert RAF to DNG (that's a batch conversion, so it is easy).
2. Open DNG in LR.

Two things to pay attention to:
1. Choose the version of DNG converter that supports your RAF version.
(Usually the latest does.)
2. For the output, choose the option under "Compatibility" that would be 
compatible with your version of LR.
(Just in case, for other options: You probably don't want to "Embed 
Original Raw File, and you probably don't want to use "Lossy Compression")
Typically (at least on Windows), the options seem to be preserved, so you 
don't have to choose them each time.



You can download the DNG converter either directly from the ftp site
(using your web-browser):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/
Choose "Win" or "Mac" folder in there, and download the latest version.

Or from this page:
Windows:
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106=Windows
Mac:
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106=Mac


Hope this helps,

Igor

Re: OT work flow

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

What is your resistance to upgrading your system to latest OS? Is it a hardware 
compatibility issue or ?

Presuming you have compatible hardware, there's no real negative to upgrading 
macOS to the latest version.
