Apple Digital Camera RAW Support CommentaryWill Apple ever provide RAW support for the Panasonic LX3? - Version: 2.6, 6/4/2009 02:29PM PST

Still no support for the Panasonic LX3. If you own this camera, please send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and request RAW support. Apple needs to know that there are more than just a few of us out there that want to use Aperture and/or iPhoto with this camera's RAW formatted photos.

Apple Digital Camera RAW Support CommentaryAdobe DNG Converter - Version: 2.5, 3/3/2009 07:05AM PST

If your camera RAW format is not supported by Aperture, the solution is <b>Adobe DNG Converter</b>, a free utility available at the Adobe website.

DNG Converter with batch convert a huge variety of camera RAW formats into DNG, the Adobe "digital negative." Purists will appreciate the fact that the source RAW file can be embedded into the DNG. I have been very pleased working with the resulting DNG files, which are extremely wide gamut. If absolute control is ever required, I can extract my original camera RAW from the DNG stored in Aperture.

Another advantage - DNG is probably the best archival format choice, thanks to an open specification backed by Adobe. Even if I were opposed to any intermediate processing of camera RAW, I would still convert all my images because I believe DNG will be around and supported long after a specific camera RAW format is dead, gone, and forgotten.

Instead of the endless complains about Apple ("wai duz u not supportz mai cameraz?"), how about contacting the camera makers and yell at them? THEY are to blame for the current situation, not Apple, as they refuse to standardize the RAW format and frequently deliberately do their own thing to deviate from everyone else, including trying to lock everyone else out by encrypting the data.

If the camera makers stop jerking us around, then this problem would go away.
