1. Re: problems upgrading raw converter for cs6
R_Kelly Nov 9, 2014 9:34 PM (in response to Cupertino, Bangert)Unfortunately, photoshop cs6 on mac os x 10.6.8 cannot be updated past camera raw 8.3, though you should be at least getting the 8.3 camera raw plugin when you use Help>Updates from within bridge or photoshop.
(same applies for the adobe dng converter)
Camera raw 8.4 and newer only work on mac os x 10.7 and newer.
Not sure if there is any non adobe software that can open the Sony A7S (ILCE-7S) camera raw files on mac os x 10.6.8

R_Kelly Nov 9, 2014 9:51 PM (in response to Cupertino, Bangert)Here is an installer for camera raw 8.3, so at least you'll have the newest version that mac os x 10.6.8 supports.
http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/mac/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/8.3.52/setup.dmg
If the above doesn't work, you can try a manual install by following the instructions in the following adobe kb.
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista

R_Kelly Nov 9, 2014 10:25 PM (in response to Cupertino, Bangert)Yes, it still won't open the Sony A7S (ILCE-7S) camera raw files directly, but will provide better compatibility with adobe dngs if you wish to use your other computer to convert/save the files to the dng format, copy them to your mac os x 10.6.8 system and photoshop cs6 should be able to open those.
Also, look at this software and maybe it will work on mac os x 10.6.8

Cupertino, Bangert Nov 11, 2014 3:44 PM (in response to R_Kelly)I've been looking into upgrading the os for my mini. The question is what version of the os do I need to get to to be able to use camera raw ver 8.5, which is needed to open my a7-s files? I believe I can upgrade to anything up to Yosemite.

ssprengel Nov 11, 2014 4:12 PM (in response to Cupertino, Bangert)ACR 8.3 was the last version to work on OSX 10.6.8. ACR 8.4 or newer requires OSX 10.7 or higher.

R_Kelly Nov 11, 2014 7:32 PM (in response to Cupertino, Bangert)You can check here for the requirements for upgrading to Mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
You can also get 10.7 and 10.8, but they are not free upgrades.
