    No one here knows.

     

    Apple has not told us anything yet.

     

    As soon as they do we'll let you know.

    Today got RAW compatibility update 6.03.  I would suspect that Apple is not going to invent a whole new method for supporting RAW in Photos.  Not necessarily  speedy updates.  For example,  I have been contemplating a Panasonic ZS50 as an extra camera.  The latest update gives support for that new camera, but also the ZS40 that has been out over a year.

    RAW support is part of the OS for Apple;  it is not part of Aperture.

     

    Apple has stated that they will continue to support Aperture _on Yosemite_ but not on any future OS's.

     

    Therefore it appears _reasonable_ to conclude that all RAW support updates for Yosemite will work with Aperture.

     

    Apple provides no guarantee (or has, afaik, any contractual obligation) to stick to the above.

     

    Apple makes no statements regarding updates to the RAW compatibility.

    Seems to be a widespread human condition.
