I downloaded [url=http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-5d-mkiii/E5D3hSLI000050.CR2.HTM]a CR2 made with a 5D3[/url], tested it and it works fine in Preview, iPhoto and Aperture. I suppose Canon wants to make sure that new users get the best viewing experience, while still keeping the silence as long as possible. [/quote] Yes but you need iPhoto and Aperture which are paid apps. This version of Lightroom is free. [/quote] iPhoto is free with every Mac.  In fairness to you, if someone has purchased a Mac that is, say, more than 2 years old, they may need to pay for an upgrade to iPhoto 9.x.  I say that because I have not tested the most recent RAW Compatibility Update with iPhoto '09.  It might work too, but I just don't know for sure.  But people with recent Macs should know they have the option of using the iPhoto installed already on their computers and can avoid the temporary LR beta download.
