I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it 😉


No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8


You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100

and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3

Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

Hold on.


Aperture and iPhoto use exactly the same engine for processing Raws, but iPhoto does not have the same fine control as Aperture - hence the price difference. Think iMovie and FInal Cut, or TextEdit and Word. But you can get good results using iPhoto, so I wouldn't leap to Aperture (and a whole new learning curve) until you find out if there's something you want to do that iPhoto can't.



Your first question is: What can my Mac support? So, we need to know the specs of your Machine - the processor and the Ram
