Tiger & Camera RAW for Canon Rebel XT (350D)

I'm trying to find out WHEN Apple will update either iPhoto or Tiger (presumably the latter) so that it natively reads Camera RAW for the Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D).

I've looked on both Canon's and Apple's site with no luck other than to find what I already know (that it's not yet supported). Has anyone heard rumor as to when support for this format might be forthcoming?

I already have Adobe CS2, so I have RAW support. The reason I want iPhoto to support RAW is so I can use the slideshow and "book" features without having to process my RAW photos into JPEG first (I have enough space on my Powerbook's hard-drive used up by RAW's already - I don't want duplicate files).

FINALLY! I am able to add and process RAW files from my Rebel XT. Too bad with all the questions that it is not even listed as part of the 10.4.3 update.

That tip still does not display the images correctly - has a blue cast on 'em.

I have the Japanese version of the Rebel XT, the Kiss N. Same problems as everyone else.

I never changed the plist but 10.4.4 now works with my 350D.

So life is now great.... well it was until I see iLife 06 as I now want that 🙂

I have not upgraded to 10.4.4 yet. I need to do that this evening, but I have to wait until my wife goes to bed since she works at home. 😟

By the way, 10.4.3 worked with my Rebel XT. Did it not work for you?

iLife '06 definitely sounds great.

No my "350D" didnt seem to work with 10.4.3, from what I can see the list of cameras that iPhoto could work with did not have the "350D" in the .plist but it did have the "XT"

350D should work with 10.4.4. It's now in the Raw.plist.

That was the difference, I guess. It is a little distressing that Apple did not have someone to check something like this and find that the model was named differently on both sides of the Big Pond.

I know that this thread is quite olad and support is supposed to exist for the 350d. I see you mentioned you had an Asian version of the camera. I have just purchased one in New Zealand (I suspect it is Asian) and I have no support under iPhoto even though I'm using 10.4.5. Have you suceeded in using RAW files with your EOS and iPhoto?
I would be really keen to know.
Many thanks,Will
