Apple released Digital Camera RAW Support Update as stand-alone files for Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.8. According to Apple,

Mac OS X Tiger provides support for a variety of popular digital camera and image file formats. Applications such as Aperture, iPhoto and Preview utilize this support to work with digital camera RAW files. This update improves RAW file format compatibility for the following digital SLR cameras:

Other issues addressed:

-Handling of large Canon RAW files (.CRW)

We downloaded and installed the update on our 2.33GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo with no problem. The update required a restart. [Bill Fox]
