Nikon .NRW Raw File Format supported?

Aperture's RAW support is tied to the camera. Here is the list of supported cameras in Aperture: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html

I see in the list that the P6000 is supported and it uses the same Nikon .NRW RAW file format

They're not the same Files formats. The support for each Raw format has to be added individually, for each model of camera. The fact that they have the same file suffix is meaningless.

Raw is not really a format, it's a container for raw sensor data and since the sensor usually changes with each new model, the NRW or NRF for a new camera contains different data than for an older model and so existing software is not necessarily going to work.

All raw converters must add support for all new raw sensors. Since companies like Nikon and Canon have traditionally resisted releasing information on their raw specs to software companies, when a new camera comes out you always have to wait until the software people have reverse-engineered the data. Eventually there will be a Mac OS X update or Aperture update to handle this.

I have same problem, so have politely asked Apple to provide support for NRW. How long might it take????????
