  1. Do you see banding when viewing the image data at 1:1 (100%) zoom in, say, Photoshop? That is very important to consider. 
    Also keep in mind that if you do see such banding at that ratio, it may be in the actual image data or it could be in the display preview path. But let's start with viewing the image data ideally. You might consider uploading a sample to something like Dropbox so others can examine this. 

  2. What you are showing on the left side is the Finder Sidebar (Favorates) of which you can add the Desktop (or any file or folder). Is that what you're asking for?

    Add a file to the sidebar: Press and hold the Command key, then drag the file to the Favorites section. If you don’t see the Favorites section, choose Finder > Settings > Sidebar, then select at least one item in the Favorites section.

    The only problem I had until now was Camera RAW.

    I rebooted my computer today and I was able to convert recent(2023) RAW CR2 files using the DNG Converter ! I was able to open the files using Light Room 3 (2010) with no problems. I then tried opening the DNG files using Photoshop Elements 6.1 (2009) . It opened the files,  but it took about 3-5 minutes to open each file.

    "The same applies to you actually.

    Well if you the "expert " had told me to just reboot my computer,  we could have avoided all the vitriol. Actully I'm not sure if the reboot did it,  or if it was me downoading a copy of Avast Network Firewall which updtaed all of my out-of-date-drivers ?

    Not sure, still trying to figure that one out ?  In any case, thanks for sticking to your analysis, it made me think.

    It it worthwhile upgrading why not use an older version of Photoshop ? The main reason is that while new cameras are steadily comming out, Photoshop has to keep up with those changes. The older versions of Photoshop cannot handle the newer files so then you are stuck. 

    The facts, corrections, and the final outcome that were explained:

    One certainly can if they convert using the free DNG converter. Adobe never forces anyone with a new camera to upgrade Photoshop (actually Adobe Camera Raw). That's all the fault of the camera manufacturers that refuse to produce an openly documented raw. 
    Yes, you still miss out on new features, but you can render your new raws with older Adobe raw converter(s).

I tried opening the files in CS5 but it crashed.    

    And the actual topic (the question):

    The question is, what does Lightroom offer that Photoshop doesn’t? Does it even matter? I’m wanting something that just works without overthinking the work. Of course it takes practice and there’s an inevitable learning curve but I did a lot of that already. I want to be able to post process the way I’ve been shooting for years, it needs to be second nature. Suggestions?
