Outfitting for a year long back pack trip. My MacBook Pro is going. Am in processof purchasing an Olympus OMD EM5 micro 4/3 camera for the trip. I use Aperture for photo processing. Any idea when or if Aperture will add support for developing the RAW shots from the EM5?
thnx
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Sorry, we are only users like you and no clairvoyants. Apple has been very fast recently to add raw support for new cameras, but who knows.
Use the Aperture main menu bar to send feedback to Apple:
Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Thanks for the kind reply. Found the support option in Aperture and sent a message to Apple. hopefully they will respond quickly.
Also thanks for the reply and the interest. Hope things in Germany are well. Beautiful country!!!

You are welcome, Expat.
Let's keep the fingers crossed that the raw support will soon be available for your camera.
It might be useful to shoot raw+jpeg while you are waiting Import both, jpeg as master); you can process the raw later, when the support will be available.
Hope things in Germany are well.
We are having a beautiful spring! Thank you.

The usual interim approach for raw support has been to use Adobe's DNG converter to create DNGs that Aperture could read. This has always worked with the esception of non-Bayer sensors like the Foveon in Sigma cameras. But I can't get Aperure to read DNGs created from my E-M5's ORFs using DNG Converter v6.7 and have no idea where the problem lies.
It's taken Apple months to support Olympus cameras in the past, so I'm not optimistic.

It was added in the latest Camera Raw update. That was a lot quicker than I thought it would take.

This update adds RAW image compatibility for the following cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11:

Thanks for the kind replies. I solved the problem by removing Aperture from the laptop. Installed LightRoom 4 which works with the Olympus raw files. Problem solved.
Many kind thanks to you both for the interest and replies
