Universal Good Advice: If you need a machine for work, don't touch it. If you want to experiment, make a bootable external disk with the new OS, but even then, try to keep it off of your main machine. I'm not upgrading until the top four or five apps that I use regularly report in with no problems. There's a market for quite old machines which are the latest things that will run, e.g., ProTools (that info may be out of date, but they were famous for not updating their software.)

Thanks, Matt. I know the drill all too well, but still fancy a bit of adventure too ...
Anyway, for the moment I'll stay put.

I know seasoned professionals (not just photographers) who have made this mistake. I have to hold myself back from the "upgrade" button!

 

[Knorp]

Yeah - just try to forget about that luring upgrade button ...

 

[Knorp]

Okay I've been waiting long enough now ...

Have you updated then Bart?

Have you updated then Bart?

Yes Sir ! And so far all is well; Capture One, Darktable, DxO PureRAW, HeliconFocus …

Apple Mac Studio M1 Max

Cool, thanks Bart!

 

[Knorp]

Cool, thanks Bart!

A word of warning: it doesn’t go without a fight though. Make sure you’re running the latest versions.

 

[AlanS]

Well that was painless!

Thanks Bart. What was the fight issue?

Thanks Bart. What was the fight issue?

Hi there K-H,

Well, some applications, even the latest versions, had to be removed and reinstalled.
Actually more of a nuisance than a fight.
Hope this helps ...

All the best.

Bart, did you have any problems with darktable? When I click a preset nothing happens, all the files are there but for some reason darktable can't seem to action them!

Hi there, Alan.

that would be really too bad.
However, I just did another export of a Sony RAW file this time and it produces a fine JPEG like it did just after the upgrade.

This is the version I'm running

And this is the output

 

[AlanS]

Yes I can output jpegs ok, it's just I can't use any of my (or the supplied) presets for the different moduls. I am on the same version as you as well. I will give the darktable forum a visit I think.

 

[AlanS]

Well it seems to be a known isssue so will just have to hope it gets fixed!

Two Ventura / macOS 13 related Darktable issues:

• macos13: presets menu doesn't get focus for mouse actions #12727
• Preset's not selectable on MacOS Ventura #12708

Thank's Bart, there is a workaround but I find it hit and miss at the moment, perhaps more practice!
