Jenni,

What do you mean by 'open the files'?  Do you mean when you try to edit them?  Or do you mean that when you open a contact sheet containing your images nothing shows up?

Also, only the 4.6.2 beta version is compatible with Snow Leopard.  4.6.1 and earlier versions have severe reliability issues when running on Snow Leopard.  You can get the beta version in the Announcements section of the forums.

I mean when I click on the side bar on the left hand side of Photo mechanic I can see all my folders from my external hard drive but nothing opens unless it is a JPEG file. Most of the images I want to open are RAW. I have the latest version of Photo Mechanic. where do I get it from

I have just downloaded the Beta version which seems to expires end of the month and I have just purchased the program! However the same thing is happening. I cannot view any images that are in RAW! at all.

I have just worked out what I was doing wrong. I was not clicking on the arrow to open the file. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I trust I will be notified when the new version for Mac will be released!

jenni,

We'll make an announcement of the availability of the final non-beta version on the Announcements section of the forums.  We expect to go final on the 22nd of October.
