still no update IDC for mac SL so not working

[ronaldj]

although Snow Leopard has already an update Sony still does not have updated their IDC raw converter

Meaning that you can't use IDC version 3.0 any longer

It is amazing that Sony leaves the mac users in the cold!!

Searching the internet it seems that there is a 3.1 version.
But you cannot really get to it.

So,, Sony does not like to update software, not only fw bit also the software

Reason can be that they offer DXO with the 850 in some countries.

But what about us!!! already having the camera.

Come on Sony, give us the needed update

The A850 comes with IDC 3.1 but that doesn't work with SL either. IDC isn't particularly good, and even if my A850 had come with DXO it'd still use Lightroom (the new beta is rather good).

So, IDC 3.1 does not work either

I used it for just quick work, it is fast (ofcourse depending on your computer)
When I need the real work I use DXO or aperture

Anywhow, Sony seems not very supportive

thanks for the answer

I spoke with a Sony support staff after I got SL. He said Sony has no intention to update IDC.

Does anyone really care? I mean it's hardly the last word in raw processing by any means. I played with it for a few months, then removed it..no great loss.

Now if Sony can do a major re-work of IDC (it has potential), improve the speed, make the output better, maybe I will look at it again..until then..
