Apple on Thursday released an update for Aperture 3 and iPhoto ’11 to add raw image support for certain Canon, Leica, Nikon, and Panasonic cameras.
Apple Digital Camera RAW Compatibility update adds RAW image compatibility to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. For more information on supported RAW formats, see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205272. It's not as simple as something developed by Apple, but it gets the job done. My setup: Mac OS X 10.9.1 iPhoto 9.5.1 Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.03 Nokia Lumia 1020 running Nokia Black / GDR3 In preferences, set Compatibility to 'Camera Raw 4.6 and later' (this was the newest version to work in OSX/iPhoto).
The list of lucky cameras supported in the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.5 includes the Canon PowerShot G12, Leica D-Lux 5, Leica V-Lux 2, Nikon D7000, Nikon COOLPIX P7000, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2. The full list of cameras that Apple supports can be found on the company’s Website.
The patch is 6.3MB in size, requires a Mac running OS X 10.5.8 or OS X 10.6.5 or later, and can be downloaded via Apple’s Website or Software Update. The company notes in a separate Knowledge Base article that computers running OS X 10.6.2 through 10.6.4 may not display this update via Software Update initially; as a solution, users are advised to run Software Update and update their Mac to OS X 10.6.5. At that point, the update should successfully display.
