Nikon D90 RAW files

I just got a Nikon D90 yesterday. I found that Aperture won't open RAW files from the D90. It looks like they changed the format, since RAW files from my D40x worked beautifully.

I get this "unsupported image format" when I try to view a NEF file.

mike -

1) install DCRCU 2.3 via SWUpdate, restart
2) open Aperture 2, select all your D90 images that you've alreasdy imported
3) choose Migrate Images from the File menu, with default settings, hit Migrate button

All you unsupported images should now show fine.

Ok this is great BUT anyone else find that various random images have a nice pea soup green hue? I'm guessing that this is Aperture's issue as the images are fine in the Nikon viewer and on the camera... thoughts?

Hi.
I have the trial version of Aperture. I have the new d90. I updated my system. And I still can't read RAW files. The trial version is supposed to be a fully functional 1 month trial.
Any help is aprreciated.
Thanks
Ron
