More RAW Camera Support Coming

Tuesday January 29, 2008 10:19 am PST by Arnold Kim
Though perhaps obvious, it is reassuring to know that Apple is very aware of the need for RAW support in unsupported cameras.

Joe Schorr, Sr. Product Line Manager of Photo Applications at Apple reassured customers in this thread:

As I'm sure many of you know, it's not Apple's policy to provide a public "ETA" on future releases, so I can't post anything like a timetable for when support for the newest RAW camera formats will become available.

But I can tell you this. We at Apple are ACUTELY aware of the pressing need to get support for the newest round of camera into your hands as soon as possible. This is a top priority. We have members of our own team using these cameras, so you can imagine how interested we are in seeing this support integrated into the Mac OS and our photo applications!

We fully intent to give our customers what they need in this regard.

Thanks!

Well then hop to it :)

I know it would be a PITA, but rather than try and release RAW support for 50 cameras all at once, why not break it down? ie if they already have 25 done, push them out the door rather than make people continue to wait while the other 25 are finished.

I wonder if this will be for Apeture only or at first or if they will supply support for both Apeture and iPhoto simultaneously.

I think the support gets added to OS X itself, so not only iPhoto and Aperture, but all apps that make use of QuickTime and/or Core Image get support.

Any chance this would be included with 10.5.2?

Is Joe Schorr saying that they develop products based on what the development team members happen to want, rather than based on what we the customers want? :eek: At least that saves money on market research! :)
