Hello, Thierry!

In order to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.03 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1604), you will need to upgrade to iPhoto '11 (version 9.4 or later).

OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757

Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.03*

Canon EOS 6D

Nikon 1 V2

Additional Information

* Aperture version 3.4 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4 or later, is required to install this update.

Best regards,

Allen

Thierry,

Indeed, iPhoto can be upgraded to iPhoto '11 here:

iPhoto '11 (on the Mac App Store)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381

After upgrading iPhoto and installing the previously linked Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update, you should be able to view RAW photos with QuickLook (by tapping the Space Bar in Finder), as well.

All the best,

Allen

Thanks;

It works...

Just a shame having to pay for a iphoto updating...

especially because... there is no really improvment for a software that I is so much not practical.

I do love apple and I have never understood why iphoto is so ... confuse.

I think apple could have propose an upgrad for the RAW without this trick... to buy this useless iPhoto 🙂

Sorry you are not responsible...

But please pass the word.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Regards

Thierry
