“Apple recently issued software that lets iPhoto and Aperture handle raw photos from a range of new compact, higher-end cameras from several manufacturers,” Stephen Shankland reports for CNET.

“The Apple update adds support for Olympus’ newer E-PL1 model and Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-G10 and G2 models in this range,” Shankland reports. “Others are getting into the market too, and Apple supports them as well: Samsung’s NX10 and Sony’s NEX-5 and NEX-3.”
Shankland reports, “Also supported in the update is Sony’s recently released lower-end Alpha A390 SLR, a more traditional design.”

I wish they’d add support for Sigma cameras.
Sell the Sigma and get one that Apple does support. Job done.
Hahaha, I have a Sigma SD10, as well. I think I’ll keep it.
Ron is clearly an idiot. Sigma cameras are frick’en awesome.
Both iPhoto and Aperture still choke on my Hasselblad files.
@annoymous coward
“still choke on my Hasselblad files”
That’s what she said.
Anon coward….
Most here don’t know what Hasselblad digital is….. Shall I show them? Or will you?
I am a Mac nut…. Apple needs adapters for cf cards… So pros can show Their images easier…. Tiny cute little cards are for soccer moms with cameras…..
No gradients, no sale. What were you thinking?
Lightroom 3 PWNs you in the face.
CF is inferior to SD. I don’t know why Canon et. al. continue to choose it, other than just stubbornness.
nice to see my leica’s covered
so efficient , those germans
I have not yet seen a SD card that can Match the U/D load speeds of my CF card. In Raw with my 12.2 MP camera I can shoot 5 FPS. (certainly not the fastest camera. But it works well for my needs.)
The Buffer clears out very very fast using SanDisk Extreme CF card that runs at 400x or 60MB/s! So that means I can shoot more and pause less. I have not seen any SD card that can run at those speeds. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
Freetype vulnerability fixed on Linux today, just a few days after going public and wrecking havoc last weekend on the ‘net.
Apple? Well lets say I hope my MacBook Pro’s don’t get pawned in the next couple of months.
Lotsa phony grandstanding in this thread.
My rack:
HP Mini Ubuntu LTS
HP Mini Windows XP Home
MacBook Pro 15″ 2004 Leopard, Fusion, Ubuntu Desktop, Chromium OS, XP Professional, Vista Ultimate
MacBook Pro 17″ 2010 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Bootcamp
My ISP thought I was running a cybercafe, sent out a tech guy to drive by my house for a week.
Grandstanding? Me? Nah!
Well said Chrissy! Lightroom 3 PWNs Aperture 8 days a week. No serious pro would ever be caught dead using Aperture over Lightroom.
Yes, Apple, it’s past time to support Sigma.
And what about the new Fuji 3D cameras?
BTW, how do you see pictures taken from a 3D camera in the computer? do you need glasses? do you need a special monitor? drivers?
I had achamce to sit down and play with Aperture at the Apple store recently, when the Geniuses were wrenching on my iMac. I wanted to give v.3 a fair chance, as I hadn’t bought Lightroom 3 yet. So there I sat, going over the sample images and doing some basic edits, getting a feel for the interface.
I found it to be more of a ‘grown-up’ iPhoto than a real professional production tool. It has many of the same things you’ll find in Lightroom, but I found the layout a bit random and not workflow-oriented like LR.
But it was the missing gradients that got me. I was astounded, and considering that I use them on almost every photo, it was an instant deal breaker for me. I found a hideously complex work-around on the web to basically pre-create a layer, but that’s bloody ludicrous and clumsy.
I also couldn’t get a straight answer on multiple monitor support… Does Aperture do it?
Also, web catalog exports aren’t nearly as versatile, and I couldn’t find anything like LR 3’s graphical watermark feature. I barely use Photoshop any more, mostly for putting my logo on a layer in the corner, but LR 3 does that now on export, so there is no need to even open PS much. Oh, and the new noise reduction tools make Aperture (and older versions of LR) look like a toy.
Anyway, it was good to have that experience because it made my LR 3 purchase a no-brainer.
Troy, those new Fuji 3D cameras are awesome. To see the 3d effect you need to buy Fuji’s V1 viewer, or a computer that is capable of displaying 3d images. I do not think the Mac supports 3D yet. Nvidia has some 3d equipment I hear.
