Apple Digital Camera RAW Compatibility

Only for OS X 10.11 or later? Why?

This update causes my computer to not reboot. It gets past the apple logo, then goes into the perpetual pinwheel of death before reaching the logon screen. I tried several different times to install it, all with the very same result. (Thank goodness I had backups) All other updates work fine, and there are no other problems. I have a MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Late 2011, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB, OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

Love it

I'm still waiting less and less patiently for support for the X-Pro1. Apple seems to be the last man standing.

For Fuji X-10 owners, while waiting for iPhoto and Aperture to have support for RAW, just a gentle reminder that Adobe DNG Converter (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388) can convert our RAW fiels into Open DNG which can be used by Aperture and iPhoto.

Hey MacUpdate folks: Am I on some sort of Super Secret Software D/L direct line to Apple(?)... The last few SoftWare Update Things you Posted here - I got them through "Software Update" the day before you posted them?

If you have a new (supported) camera but not the newest versions of Aperture or iPhoto, you're SOL. It's tempting to complain about the lack of backwards compatibility, but you will run into the same issue with Photoshop and Lightroom. In general, older versions of Adobe Camera RAW are not updated for the most recent cameras. However, you do have less expensive options than Aperture, Photoshop and Lightroom. IPhoto is, more or less, affordable (under $100). So is Photoshop Elements. Both do a decent job for the less demanding shutterbug.

I'd give it a -1 Rating if that were possible just for the fact that they don't seem to be interested in supporting the Panasonic FZ series of cameras. It's really stupid that one has to use Adobe Bridge to be able to view and sort the RW2 files.

Not for PPC! "Camera RAW Compatibility Update" requires Aperture3 and that’s intel-only.

Won't run on G5 with 10.5.11! What a bunch of JERKS!

Still no Sigma support.

I'm on a PPC G5 running 10.5.8... And this didn't show up in my Software Update... nor did it want to "Update" once I D/Led it.

If you want to convert your RAW images to DNG, just grab the free Adobe DNG Converter from the Adobe web site: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=106. I'm sure Apple sees no reason to duplicate Adobe's efforts in this regard.

Hot Dang! The LX3 is finally supported!

No Sigma support still. With Aperture 3 coming this is pathetic on Apples part. Sorry, Adobe all the way.

Still no support for the Canon SX1. Come on Apple, Adobe supports it!

And I repeat myself..... still no support for the Panasonic LX-3. I understand that Apple has no obligation to support ANY camera and that the problem is rumored to be with Panasonic (barrel correction issue) but come on! This is probably in the top 3 P&S cameras used by pros not to mention serious hobbyists. The R-1Dx is not even released and probably will not see as heavy penetration as the LX-3 and yet it is already supported. Come on Apple, show Panny some love.... : )

Wow, it even included the not-release-yet Epson R-D1x !!! Good job Apple

It's abysmal that to install this patch improving core platforms functionality (e.g. ability to preview raw files in Finder), Apple requires to have one of the paid products (iLife or Aperture) to be installed. All of the Microsoft bashers don't have anything to say about it? If MS did something like this, it'd be all over forums.

I hope that Apple will eventually find a way to install these minor updates without the need to reboot. I know it's a lame complaint, but when I update Safari on my work Windows XP machine, it can manage to do the job without the need to interrupt everything you are working on.
