Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

The raw format is camera specific. Each camera needs a different raw support. Not all raw files are equal. The new raw support is only available with mavericks.

Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,

There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly

Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras

Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update

And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first

Not yet - again

Correct - that is what Not Yet means

It is the list of supported RAW fomats

OS X Mavericks provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats from the following cameras.

Any camera that is not on the supported list is not supported

So for the third time

So if I update to MAverick will my Sony RX10 ARW format work?

Sorry for being not clear.

The new raw support is only available with mavericks.

What I meant is, that any new raw support is usually integrated into the latest OS, and will require the newest versions of Aperture or iPhoto being installed.

The current list of Raw Support for Mt. Lion is here:

OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371

Notice the foonote:

*Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.

By the time, the raw support for your new camera will be released, the current MacOS and latest versions of iPhoto are 9.5.1 and MacOS X 10.9.1 - so the chances are slim, that you will be able to install the new raw support, if you do not update.

Sorry - maybe if you read the answers the first time it would not be necessary to repeat them over and over and over again

Not supported is a really simple concept for most people

Good luck and have a nice day
