RAW support for Nikon D7100

Can iPhoto 9 (from Ilife 9 on snow leopard) open .dng files which DNG converter will create?

thanks

Not sure about iPhoto 9, but my installation of iPhoto 11 (which says it's version 9.4.3) will import a dng file I prepared from a raw file taken with my D7100. Of course once you have Digital Camera Raw 4.0.6 or later, going through a dng is not necessary.

It looks like iPhoto'11 is available for snow leopard. Is it possible to upgrade to iphoto '11 onto my imac and then access nikon d7100's raw files? Also, if I use exiftool to change the model on the raw files to nikon d5100, will that make the raw files compatible?

thanks
