Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Updater For Mac

Despite the long way our photography equipment has evolved over the last 20 years, one of the biggest revolutions in the photography world was the invention of the RAW image format.

To make an easy to understand comparison, a RAW file format is basically the modern version of film negatives for cameras back in the day, which contained all the information for creating an image by developing the photographic film.

To simplify, RAW files are is an image saved using the entire non-processed collection of data captured by your camera’s sensor. This makes photos saved using the RAW image format very large but, on the bright side, they also contain all the information you can possible need to obtain the best imaginable results using an image editor or converter.

Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Updater is an updater designed to add RAW image compatibility for certain cameras to Apple’s Aperture and iPhoto RAW capable photo editing and management apps.

The main advantage of using it is that you don’t have to install other third party applications, but, instead, you can edit and process RAW files using your Mac by importing them from your camera within iPhoto or Aperture.
