If you’re a voracious Aperture or iPhoto user and love to play have to work with RAW formats, you’ll be glad to know that Apple has released Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 today, which extends RAW file compatibility for both Aperture 2 and iPhoto ‘08 for the following cameras:

  • Hasselblad CFV-16
  • Hasselblad H3D-31
  • Hasselblad H3D-31II
  • Leaf Aptus 54S
  • Leaf Aptus 65S
  • Nikon D60
  • Olympus E-3
  • Pentax *ist DL2
  • Pentax *ist DS2
  • Pentax K100D Super
  • Sony DSLR-A200
  • Sony DSLR-A350

Even if that is not much of a priority for you, Apple highly recommends that you download this 2.3MB update because it contains a fix for a scary sounding security vulnerability.

Apparently, someone can trick you into using a maliciously crafted image that might ultimately lead to “arbitrary code execution” and, trust us on this one, as much fun as it sounds, it’s not a good thing.

Fire up Software Update or get downloadin’ from Apple’s support website.
