Aperture, iPhoto and Preview all read and process Leaf RAW files. Finder thumbs are also enabled.

Aperture finally becoming a more comprehensive pro app... looks like I might not have to switch to full time Lightroom after all.

Does Aperture generate the same quality of files as LC does, especially with higher ISO?

ACR supports Leaf files but does a really crappy job on anything from ISO200 and above.

Did you guys have a look on what comes out of Aperture?

Awesome news Yair! I don't use Aperture but I appreciate being able to check .mos previews in the finder.

That's great, and very welcome, now if only I could open the files from my two Cantare XYs I would be a happy man. Same goes for Lightroom, great tools both of these programs, but the fear we all had, and the reason for the birth of DNG, older formats not being supported has well and truly arrived. I am a studio shooter and have Canons' as well as the Leaf backs, and will continue to buy new gear as it fits my work, but for certain jobs (fabric) the Cantare and it's contemporary the Volare are still unmatched.

Any hope at all in this area???
