Digilux 3 support in OSX 10.4.9 update

Andy, I don't agree.

 

Apple won't support DNG for Aperture, so people will use other raw programs. A shame for Apple, but there are lots of good raw programs out there, so I doubt anyone will suffer much, except those who for whatever reason already have Aperture. I personally just bought Lightroom, which overall I prefer anyway.

With the impact that Adobe has on the graphic/image manipulation market it would be foolish for Apple to consider DNG a propiatary Adobe format, and not the future collective RAW format it looks to be.

 

Having looked at both programs for months I however consider Aperture the best for my needs and can't see how they would not be forced to support DNG after the next generation Photokina models.

 

Seems like they listen and include all the new camera specific RAW formats, like Digilux 3, every new update at least (as long as this is necessary).

There was a post in another thread from someone who went to the Aperture-Lightroom shootout last night, and the head developer of Aperture said that they will support the M8 as soon as it has a final firmware. They don't want to support a temporary firmware since the colours would then potentially look very wrong when the final version comes out. I consider this a fair comment.

In that light it would seem that Apple knows more about the problems and development of the M8 than Adobe actually.

In that case, Aperture will never support Leica DNGs.

At least on my Mac, and with my L1, Aperture rejects the auto import of the jpeg files that Panasonic includes with every raw file. You have to agree to this rejection of each file for the process to continue.

 

No matter, as I am pretty much committed to Lightroom at this point, although I do like the Aperture books.

 

Not to spread heresay, but I am also doing a little experiment on the return to jpeg shooting. While I am extremely aware of the benefits of raw files, I am now getting a handle on the tradeoffs - ie, having to process EVERY file...

I hope there is a missing smiley there :) 1.10 is what they were talking about.

 

If you're talking about William Palank's post in another thread, he didn't mention about ver 1.10 anywhere.

 

You have to admit that Apple is good at these things ...

 

When EU questioned Apple's restriction of iTunes music replay to iPods only ... Jobs blamed the music industry for copyright protection. LOL
