p.1 #2 · Mac OSX 10.5.2 is out (D3, D300 & 1Ds Mark III)
Set aside some time for this: on my MacBook Pro which already is at 10.5.1, the update weighs in at 341 MB, and near 60 MB for new Quicktime! But it is a pretty lengthy list of changes.

Go figure.
I believe the line is:
"Think Different"
It's not really a surprise is it? Apple wants to push iphoto over aperture, and are willing to bet that the crowd that wants aperture would use Photoshop anyway.

This statement is incorrect. With the 10.5.2 update Aperture does read G9 RAW files. I cannot attest for the others mentioned.

This statement is just obnoxious and has no basis in reality. Aperture and Photoshop serve different purposes. Aperture is a database, image management type program that is ideal for processing large numbers of image files. Aperture and iPhoto are both Apple programs the later is suited for the general public.

How did you get it to work? My Aperture 1.5.6 with the OS X 10.5.2 update still says "Unsupported image format" when I try to view G9 CR2's. It only shows the embedded jpg shortly and then 'blacks out'...

I have to retract my statement. After I did the initial 10.5.2 update, I successfully imported ten .CR2 images from my Canon G9 into Aperture 1.5.6. I was able to successfully view these images. Today I checked for more Apple updates and two updates appeared. One was a graphic update and another I believe for Pro Application support. These updates seemed to disable the G9 RAW support. When I opened Aperture I could no longer view the files. The same files that appeared as .CR2 now showed unsupported image format.
Is this an attempt by Apple to force you to upgrade for the same support?

On my mac it did not work before I installed the graphic update, so that did not make the difference. Apparently, it's the pro application support update.
Does any body have any ideas as to how to downgrade?
(The cr2 extension only means the information is coded in some way, the sensor output contained therein may still differ. Think of it as a letter in .doc format - it's the same format, but one may be in English and the other in Swahili).

Thanks for correcting me. It's not like Photoshop comes with it's own image management system, Adobe Bridge. Obviously I was mistaken, and my mother should be ashamed.

Actually I just noticed that after 10.5.2 Preview does a nice job of creating files from 1ds3 raws. I especially like how a touch on the sepia slider fixes dodgy Canon skin tones.
