Hasselblad 3FR RAW Files Now Supported by Apple

Apple’s 10.5.2 Operating System and Aperture 2 now officially support Hasselblad 3FR RAW files. The free Leopard update includes support for Hasselblad raw image files in the 3FR, FFF and DNG format, created with any Hasselblad digital camera product with a 16 Mpix, 22Mpix, 31Mpix or 39Mpix sensor.

With the new update one can preview the Hasselblad raw files (3FR, FFF and DNG) in Finder and able to be opened directly from popular applications such as Preview, iPhoto, and Aperture.  An added benefit of the new OS X support is the creation of thumbnails for both FFF and 3FR files, enabling quick file inspection via Quick Look.
