I was infuriated to find out after purchasing Aperture that though Apple claims to support the Adobe DNG format, the implementation of that format by the DMR doesn't work. Apple, in essence, blames Leica. After bitching to Apple I noticed that they added some fine print to the Aperture specs: "DNG files must be generated by the Adobe DNG Converter, with the "Convert to Linear Image" option turned off, and created from RAW formats that are otherwise already supported by Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later." I suppose that processing through Capture One which is what this workflow article discusses might work fine, but you're no longer working with a RAW file in Aperture. Plus, on checking the Capture One site, I don't see the either the DMR or the M8 listed as supporting tethered shooting. Might work??? For what it's worth, I've used the DMR tethered to FlexColor without any problems Gilbert On Dec 6, 2006, at 7:55 PM, Adam Bridge wrote: > There was some talk of tethered shooting here with the DMR so I > thought I'd post this link to an article about an approach to do it on > the Mac using an interesting collection of standard system software > and Aperture. > > <http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/12/05/tethered-shooting-in- > aperture.html> > > If you're not a Mac person just skip it, but if you are it's a neat > piece. > > Adam > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
