Apple RAW Compatibility and Security Updates Available

By Mr. Mayor

Apple Software UpdatesApple yesterday released a Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1. This update extends RAW file compatibility for Aperture 2 and iPhoto ‘08 for these cameras:

  • Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/Kiss Digital x2/450D
  • Epson R-D1
  • Leaf AFi 7
  • Leaf AFi 6

But the updates didn’t stop there. A critical security update for OX S Tiger and an pretty darn huge Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard update are available. These updates address many security bugs. You can read more about these Tiger and Leopard updates here.

I’m just getting ready to restart after installing the Leopard update myself. To access these updates, click the Apple menu, then click ‘Software Update…’ on your mac.

My OS X Leopard Experience So Far

By Mr. Mayor

My Leopard Experience So FarI was one of the folks that immediately had my copy of Leopard in hand for the update. Ordered the family pack for installation here at the Mactropolis offices and I was pumped. I’ve been using Leopard now since launch in late October. The last few months have given me a great opportunity to experience and share what I’ve found.

Installation on my MacBook pro was flawless and without any hang-ups. Immediately following the upgrade I of course began fooling around with the new features. Spaces was cool, the new ‘look’ I thought was OK, and Time Machine intruiged me. ‘I’ll have to get a huge external hard drive’ I thought to myself.

Initially Leopard was a hit here at Mactropolis. I installed Leopard on 3 more macs, each without any problems. With a few systems still running Tiger, I decided to leave things as is. I thought it might be interesting to see first hand the differences from Tiger to Leopard in terms of stability and usability.

Over time this became clear to me. In Tiger, I very, very rarely had any issues with applications locking up and freezing on me. In Leopard, I’m sad to report that this is a daily occurrence. In fact, shortly before sitting down to write this post, Safari froze up on me while I was doing some browsing. Frustrating to say the least.
