Canon EOS 30D RAW format not recognized by Apperture

Hi folks,
Has anyone else encountered the same problem? If so, is there an easy solution or should we all wait for Apple to add support for this camera?
Many thanks,

that is new in the last few days then ... it may very well be supported when 1.1 arrives ... this could be the 1.1 delay ...

I thought that aperture and raw relied on the OS to decode ... this would imply that since the 30d came out since the last os update (???) that it would need 4.6

although having said that, maybe canon and apple were in league together prior to the camera coming out and had already builtin support for the last os update and just flip a switch to tell us ...

i was looking at the 30d to get as another camera, but put that off due to raw support ... then silky added it, now the aperture page has ... hmmm ...

From the photography-on-the.net RAW and Post Processing forum, http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18 , it appears that the 20D and the 30D have the same conversion. You can try the same "hack" that one Aperture user did to support his (her?) Canon G2. The following thread should help you out:

Or you could wait until April 30th when 1.1 is released. 😉

hello,

i just attended a presentation by apple's director of professional apps last night in portland which includes aperature. he said the 30 D will be supported in the April 1.1 release ("they were just able to get it in"). it also looks like there are major enhancements to workflow and the raw decode algorithms - should be well worth the wait.
