Canon 60D and Aperture/iPhoto - RAW support?

It's varied but for Canon and Nikon cameras it's usually within a few months. A documented pattern wouldn't really help as you can't accurately predict the future of software releases by reading the past 🙂

I would be interested in seeing anything history of release dates and RAW file support dates also. I am a newbie with only a S95 but also interested in when Apple will release RAW support for my camera [it came out approximately the same time as the 60D]. I have been advised to be patient...it will happen. My issue is that I download a 30 day trial of Aperture before I realized at the moment I can only try it out on jpegs, not RAW. I just hope it happens before my 30 trial runs out.

I did put in a request through the Aperture comment function but was advised it was probably unnecessary since Apple is well aware of new Canon and Nikon cameras.

After the 50D was released in '08, Apple added support with a Digital Camera Compatibility Update on Nov 5, 2008. Sometimes the extra raw support is in the point updates for the Mac OS - supposedly 10.6.5 is coming soon...

Add my voice to the crowd. I've got some 60D RAW files I want to work on. I don't want to buy and learn the interface and workflow of Lightroom as a stopgap.

Put down the iOS pipe and work on something for the pros.

Haven't tried it out yet but 10.6.5 update says RAW for 60D is included.

Thx Apple.

Yes it's working 🙂

It's working? In Aperture? It's not working for me? I have updated to 10.6.5

What did you do to get it to work?

I simply updated to 10.6.5 using the combo update (downloaded and then installed, didn't use Software Update in System Prefs). Aperture now recognizes and displays my CR2 raw files from my 60D. These are the full size Raw files, not sRaw files (which I don't use and so can't comment on).

Did you "reprocess masters" on any images that you imported previously? That's necessary.

You also need to be running Aperture 3 to get the latest RAW support. If you still have Aperture 2, MacOS X 10.6.5 won't help.

Well you have me fooled, I have been running 10.6.5 ever since it came out along with Aperture 3 with the latest update. My 60D RAW images will not appear. I believe it is an Aperture update required and not the OSX system
