RAW update for users who don't own Aperture & iLife? (GH2)

As far as I can tell, Apple's new RAW file compatibility update requires the latest Aperture or iLife. I don't own either of these apps. The update will not install unless these apps are installed first.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1339
However, I want to access & open RAW still images from my new Panasonic DMC-GH2 camera in the Finder, QuickLook and Preview.
My question is: Does Apple have a version of the RAW compatibility update that be installed without Aperture or iLife?
Note: I am not describing the issue discussed in this Apple tech note. It addresses a different issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3614

Thanks for that tip!
Just an FYI: As I posted earlier, I've owned a GH2 since mid-Dec. 2010, and haven't been able to display or edit its RAW files in the Finder, Preview or iPhoto 8.x, and as we all know, Apple's RAW compatibility update 3.5 -- which was supposed to support the GH2 -- didn't work.
Today I tried installing the new RAW compatibility update 3.6, but it wouldn't install because I don't have iPhoto v.9 or higher.
Thanks to your suggestion, I then installed Apple's free Aperture trial version. I don't actually want to use the app, I only installed it so I could get the RAW compat. updater 3.6 to install.
I then ran Software Update from the Apple menu, and it noticed I had the Aperture trial installed, so it asked to download & install the latest Aperture update and the latest RAW compat. update. I opted to download & install only the RAW compat. update 3.6.
Having done all that, my GH2 RAW files now seem to be correctly displayed in the Finder, Preview, & iPhoto v.8.x, and I can edit them in Preview & iPhoto.
Apple: While I'm glad this is finally working, it's been a real drag having to wait more than 2 months to get to this point. Cheers.

  • Ftp 7.5 , hide directories for users who don't have access?

    hi, installed ftp 7.5 and have it working using AD credentials but users who don't have access to directories, see everything.  
    I'd like it so that they only see the directories they can access, like ABE.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    ABE will not work with FTP. I saw discussions on this topic during my search so please see if this could be considered as a workaround:

  • Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

    After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command.  The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
    it is a simple command.
    Comments appreciated. 
    side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
    Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
    This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included.  In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
    Steps are:
    Download the Office deployment tool from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
    example we will use the \\server\sharename
    location.
    Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
    2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
    Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
      </Add> 
    </Configuration>
    3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
     (on single line)
    Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as  (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
      <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> 
      <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

    Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):

    It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
    Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)?????

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?

  • Camera raw update for d7100

    You don't.
    The D7100 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw 7.4 will only work in CS6 and above.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    You either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get CC.
    Or convert to DNG and edit the DNGs in CS5

  • Camera Raw update for CS5 Extended

    I am looking for a Camera Raw update for CS5 Extended. I currently have CR 6.7.0.339.  IS there something newer for me to use with CS5 Extended, Ver. 12.1x64?

    Camera Raw 6.7 is the latest version that's compatible with Photoshop CS5. There's nothing newer for CS5.

    If you need Camera Raw 7+ for your camera, you'll have to upgrade to Photoshop CS6.
    Which camera do you have?

    Never. You'll need to upgrade to Lr 5.7, or convert your D750 files to DNG for Lr 4 to use.
    As a site search would amply have indicated.

  • What is the latest camera raw update for CS5?

    I'd like to know the latest camera raw update for CS5 to support Sony a6000 raw files. I'd also need to know how to update the plugin.

    The last version of Camera Raw that you can use with Photoshop CS5 is Camera Raw 6.7. To have support for your camera you would need Camera Raw 8.4 or newer. You have a few choices:
    1. Use DNG converter 8.4 or newer to create DNG copies of your raw files and edit those in Photoshop CS5.
    2. Subscribe to the creative cloud photography plan and to get the latest Photoshop and Lightroom.
    3. Add Lightroom to your workflow by purchasing a standalone license for Lightroom 5.

  • Is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600?

    is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600

    Not as yet. ACR 7.2 does have preliminary support for D600. Output may change in final release of D600 support in upcoming ACR 7.3.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/10/camera-raw-7-2now-available.html
    ACR 7.3 will have complete support for D600.
    But, if you're on CS5, I'm sorry to break it you cannot upgrade to ACR 7.x...
    You may want to consider upgrading to CS6 or Lightroom 4 (cheaper alternative) to get ACR 7.x support.
    Or, use the DNG converter, make TIFFs and open them with PS.

  • So... how long do we have to wait for a RAW update for the Nikon D600 camera?

    So... how long do we have to wait for a RAW update for the Nikon D600 camera?

    Adobe releases Camera Raw every 3 or 4 months. The D600 itself was launched only about 1 week ago. I'm sure its not included in ACR 7.2 RC yet. Nikon J1 is included though. I guess you're gona have to wait for it. Maybe 7.2 final release will have it or 7.3 should. Adobe employees/ product team will not commit to a time for Camera Raw releases.
    However, you can use the software Nikon would've given you to convert your images as TIFF and import them into Lightroom/ Photoshop if you're in a hurry. It would be nice if your camera supports DNG conversion out of the box! This way, you wont need a Camera Raw from Adobe.
    Anyway, you could file a 'Feature Request' to Adobe here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Good luck.

    Yes.  Sony's Image Data Converter v.4 opens all Sony RAW file formats.
    The Image that you see when you import a new Sony RAW file is a JPG that is included with the RAW file.
