hi all - first post
first let me say that I am not a switcher - I am a unix person and digital photography enthusiast, and I obviously got me a mac mini to use photoshop and the like.
I must say that I mostly like OSX so far definitely so much nicer than anything from microsoft IMHO. I just love to manage my files from the CLI :]
anyway, my mini came with tiger - and I don't plan to pay for leopard since I'm very happy with my mini as it is - but apparently 'preview' cannot open RAW files from the relatively new nikon D300... but iphoto and aperture etc all can do it just fine?
I don't like iphoto and find preview pretty useful so I'm baffled as to why one would get the update from Apple and not the other? or am I missing something here? surely I don't need to upgrade my whole OS to get the bundled tools to read a new file format?
thanks!
