Apple updates RAW support with 10.5.4 update
The Mac OS X 10.5.4 update might have made you restart your Mac, but it also added "RAW image support for several cameras." While Apple didn't tell us what these cameras were in Software Update, they did later update the RAW support page for Mac OS X Leopard. According to the page, Apple's update added the ability to use the RAW format on these cameras:
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi / Kiss Digital x2 / EOS 450D
- Epson R-D1 / R-D1s
- Leaf AFi 7
- Leaf AFi 6
- Leaf AFi 5
- Pentax K200D
- Pentax K20D

This was a separate update right after 10.5.3 shipped.

There used to be a separate download that would add support for new RAW cameras to those running Tiger.
I don't see it.
Has Apple abandoned those users still running Tiger?

To anyone who owns a Sony Alpha A 300 and is baffled that this Camera isn't supported, although the almost identical A200 and A350 are: I wrote a little Automator workflow which converts A300 Raw Images to A200 Format, so you can use them with Preview, iPhoto or Aperture:
You can find it here

If you want a particular camera supported, send Apple feedback at www.apple.com/feedback.
I have done this several times asking Apple to support the Lumix FX18K but still no luck. Guess I will have to stick to Adobe products in the meantime.
