Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.5
Apple’s latest Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update extends Aperture 3 and iPhoto ’11 support to seven more cameras. Newly supported cameras include the Canon PowerShot G12, Leica D-Lux 5, Leica V-Lux 2, Nikon D7000, Nikon COOLPIX P7000, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2. The update is available via Software Update and the Apple Support Downloads page. Apple also publishes a full list of supported cameras. (Free, 6.3 MB)
While the RAW update can only be installed if iPhoto or Aperture is installed on the Mac, other apps profit from this as well, such as Preview, the Finder, QuickLook, and my own CDFinder...
That's truly bizarre (that iPhoto or Aperture is required for the install). Thanks for the info!
