Oh - I knew I had forgotten one thing!

There are no naïve questions just intolerant responses.

Ta!

There is one oddity - iPhoto seems to have handled a .dng originating
from a camera not on Aperture's supported RAW list - and produced a jpg
preview (all of which was hidden to me in Aperture). Aperture shows the
jpg preview, of course, but flags the .dng as unsupported.

iPhoto/Finder can produce previews for unsupported RAW files. I have
seen this with images from my Ricoh GRD. I would wait to see whether
10.5.2 brings support for your RAW file format before committing to
Aperture if RAW support is critical. Remember it's the OS that brings
RAW support and not Aperture, I would expect any update to Aperture
will be tied into an update to the OS version. You *may* be able to
add support for your camera but if it's possible it does involved low-
level hacking of plist files.

I did attempt a low-level hack of a RAW original using the very
expensive TextWrangler! I changed the name of the camera from the
originating Samsung to the only supported Samsung on Apple's list.
This seemed to work fine although I cannot replicate it after
downloading the latest version of TextWrangler which refuses to open
the files (it reports some sort of error). I'm not really into hacks -
interesting in themselves but a pain as a way of life, though I
suppose I could try to learn about Automator and such stuff.

cheers,
