Yes, but Aperture still doesn't. Very annoying and it renders the software unusable for owners of the more current Nikons, Canons, Sonys, Hasselblads...

Cheers,

It seems Aperture is forcing it's current users to upgrade to version 2.0 for the same RAW support that was successfully implemented both in OSX 10.5.2 and iPhoto.

Why would an OS have anything to do with supporting a RAW format? That makes no sense.

But that's how Apple does it. Something to do with the Core rendering engine IIRC. Always thought it was a dumb idea and it's probably lost them a lot of custom to LR as a result of this long wait.

Only three hours later, my own post is obsolete...
