You can now download this new 64-bit ViewFinder version 9.0 replaces the previous version 7.4.4 from 2009. If you are working with newer Mac computers and using Mojave (10.14), Catalina (10.15), Big Sur (11.0) and beyond, you should purchase and use this new software to avoid operational problems. NOTE: This 9.0 upgrade has also been working on High Sierra (10.13). The Release Notes can be downloaded for more details on this software upgrade.
This version is compatible with Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs running OS 10.14 or higher. This version was primarily created to correct changes to Apple operating systems beginning with MOJAVE (10.14) and higher. Functionality remains the same as ViewFinder 7.4.4 and may still have some lingering bugs due to limited beta testing and the fact that we are trying to accommodate all of the changes that Apple has made on several past OS versions.
DO NOT USE WITH SCSI CONTROL BOXES — We have found connectivity problems with systems using SCSI boxes and the Raytoc FR1SX SCSI to FireWire Converters. This problem seems to be caused by functionality removed by Apple in recent operating systems.
Not recommended for Macintosh users that remain on older computers and are using Mac OS of High Sierra 10.13 or earlier and you should continue to use ViewFinder 7.4.4. Previous versions of ViewFinder software for Mac and Windows machines are on the Better Light website: http://betterlight.com/downloads.html
NOTE: Pano Mode has not been changed in this new version.. Some Pano owners have found that it is still working for their needs. It's worth trying in your setup to see if it will work for you.
This software upgrade is a personal investment of Robin Myers, Larry Guyer and Martin Gregory to extend the functionality of ViewFinder for Macintosh computer systems. The initial development costs are to be recovered by the purchase of this software upgrade by our Better Light owners. Updates to correct bugs and functionality issues for this version 9 will be included at no additional cost to the subscribers.
