Fuji x-t10 RAW, Aperture, el Capitain

Greetings

Wondering if I update the Macbook Pro finally to el Capitain, whether I will be able to import and edit RAW files from my new Fuji X-T10 in the discontinued Aperture. Is anyone doing this successfully? I know the OS now supports that camera, but I don't know if the OSX compatibility translates to Aperture. I've hundreds of thousands of archival images in Aperture, so will do anything to avoid Lightroom and preserve my long-established workflow and professional adjustment prefs. for a few more years.

thanks

Paul

Aperture 3, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Which version of Aperture do you have? With El Capitan you need Aperture 3.6.

before you update, make sure you are seeing Aperture in your purchases history at the appStore, or you will not be able to update to Aperture 3.6.

I cannot answer your main question, as I do not use the same camera model, sorry.

Thanks very much for the response, léonie. Aperture is indeed in my purchases (I use 3.5 with Mavericks, I have used all previous versions of Aperture). I'll only bother moving to el Capitain if I am certain that Aperture 3.6 will open Fuji X-T10 RAW files. All my other needs are taken care of by the system as-is, but I need to know that I can work with large numbers of the Fuji files, asap. A possible workaround is to try converting the Fuji RAW files to DNG (Ap 3.5 may handle those), but experience has been negative when trying similar things in the past. I wonder if any X-T10 users have succeeded here.

Paul
