"About this update

Mac OS X Tiger provides support for a variety of popular digital camera and image file formats. Applications such as Aperture, iPhoto and Preview utilize this support to work with digital camera RAW files. This update improves RAW file format compatibility for the following digital SLR cameras:

 

-Canon Digital Rebel XTi / 400D / Kiss X Digital

-Nikon D80

-Pentax *ist DS

 

Other issues addressed:

 

-Handling of large Canon RAW files (.CRW)

-DNG compatibility on Intel-based Macs

-Lines sometimes appearing in images exported from Aperture"

I feel much more at ease with Lightroom…:rolleyes:

 

Adobe are not perfect, but they do listen to customers, fix bugs, and steadily improve their products. In fact, from the standpoint of stability and incremental improvement, I would call them exemplary. Maybe Leica coudl hire some managers from Adobe ?

I still have a pending problem with CS2.

Since 2 days, it crashes on launch.

I identified the culprit : TWAIN plugin.

I put it out on my dekstop. CS2 launches perfectly.

Except I cannot export/import from/to Lightroom

anymore…

Tried everything, even a reinstall of CS2.

Maybe... I am not doing it rght.

I just downloaded the update, installed it and rebooted my MacBook Pro (Intel). Aperture still does not want to import the M8 DNGs. I get "Image format not supported."

I can import M8 DNG's into Aperture but that's about all. They display in the main viewer as a small image but I have no zoom or full screen option with them.:mad: The only option to play at the moment is to convert within C1pro to 16bit Tiff and then import the Tiff into Aperture. I wish to keep using aperture given the 1.51 seems to have addressed most of the speed issues I was having with the MBP and PPC G5 but the overhead of 56mb Tiff files v's 10mb DNG's seems excessive. I guess I'll have to use C1Pro until Apple address this problem with the next upgrade to the base OS.:rolleyes:

The small image that you see is the thumbnail image which is used to display on the back of the DMR.

 

I had heard on good authority that Leica specific DNG support would be coming to Aperture before Christmas. I suppose that there's still 6 weeks to go... ;)
