It’s time for another Camera RAW update, and this one includes one that a select few people have been very, very anxious for — the Leica M Monochrom.


Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.08

As always, just run Software Update or launch the App Store to get the latest software, or you can also get to it at support.apple.com/kb/DL1674.

Here’s a list of supported cameras.

  • Canon EOS 70D
  • Fujifilm X-M1
  • Leica M
  • Leica M Monochrom
  • Nikon COOLPIX P330
  • Pentax 645D
  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R

Click through for a close look at the Leica Monochrom files, comparing the in-camera JPEG conversion to the Aperture DNG decode to the Lightroom DNG decode. The differences may surprise you.
