I bought a brand new Canon 6D. Beautiful equipment! I'm hoping beautiful pictures. However, I can't see any of them in Aperture! The latest version of Lightroom 4 won't read the Canon 6D files either. Now what?
Aperture 3, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Aperture Version 3.4.3
The Canon 6D is not yet on the list of supported cameras, see Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
While you are waiting for the raw support to be released, yo can do two things:
We don't know, when the raw support will be released, only Apple knows. Sorry.

Thanks. Yep, as much as I don't like to, I have already loaded the Canon CD/program to work with RAW--just seemed in the past to be very dated and overly complex. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised!
I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

Probably you will!
Nobody knows a camara so good as the manufacturer, so their raw support usually is the best, since the raw development has to be developed for each camera specifically. And third party software manufacturers usually only can begin to develop the raw support, after the camera has been released, that will take a while, if they want to do it well.
Adobe DNG convertor now supports the 6D. I used to convert to DNG and them open in photoshop, but the week or so that DNG didn't support the 6D I came to like Canon's raw processor better. So I open in DPP and import to Photoshop as a Tiff. Thinking about Aperture; maybe when they have native support for the 6D.
The Camera Raw update that was released on December 13th supports the 6D. So your answer is not particularly timely ;-)
Under 10.6.8, the Dec 13th update reports "not supported on your system" so it's not just a raw format update, it's mixed in with some kind of OS-related change. Unfortunately completely useless to me.
Why would a camera format have anything to do with the OS level? Makes no sense whatsoever. It's either some kind of screwup or really bad design.
Guess it's back to Lightroom. Again. Or Canon's meagre effort, DPP. Sigh.
It is a way to get you to upgrade. And I believe you will have the same issue with LR.
Thanks. I'll make do with DPP. The last OS upgrade was a complete disaster, blew out all my scripts and more. Now that I've got the system stable, I'm not inclined to let them at it again. Not interested in changing my OS past 10.6.8.
Even less so, now. Guess I feel pretty burned after buying Aperture 1 and 2 and 3 and not even being able to use it.
Although perhaps I can find a non-DPP solution out there somewhere that isn't unnecessarily and arbitrarily tied to the OS level. There are lots of developers out there.
Nope, Lightroom (4) *does* support the 6D under 10.6.8.
So I'm all good. 🙂
When will Aperture support RAW in Canon 6D
