Is there a RAW processor that runs on a Mac computer other than Gimp and SilkyPix that will handle Panasonic RAW files? I don't think RawTherapee has a Mac version.

Thanks,
Joe

Nearly all of my image management and processing, from RAW to finished prints and web galleries, is done with Adobe Lightroom 2 (currently at revision v2.3).

In addition, Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements (latest revision) will use the Camera Raw v5.3 plugin which can process all the Panasonic files too.

I use Mac OS X exclusively.

--Raw files can be opened directly in Preview on the Mac.
 
Apple's OS does NOT currently support the RW2 files of the G1 or LX3. If you think Preview is opening the RAW file, it's only viewing the companion JPG, or the thumbnail.

I can also recommend you try Raw Photo Processor:

http://www.raw-photo-processor.com

It's Mac-specific and under constant development (donations get you Lightroom plugin mode and multi-core support but the free version will let you try everything).

I use it and have seen some good results. Perhaps not as easy to use as some (I'd like an Aperture plugin mode :-) but worth checking out.
