The world is beautiful, but it loses some its sparkle if your camera can’t capture and preserve it. Thereupon, Apple releases a regular stream digital camera RAW updates to bring new devices into fold and this time around they’ve delivered compatibility for perhaps the best prosumer DSLR.

Shooting with a hot hand? Then there’s a pretty good chance you’re using Canon’s EOS Rebel 1100D and you’ll find it in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.7 (6.62MB):

• Canon EOS Rebel T3 / 1100D / Kiss X50
• Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D / Kiss X5
• Olympus E-5
• Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100
• Pentax K-r
• Pentax K-5

For the full picture on compatibility, see Apple’s Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats.

Go pro, young woman (or man)

With the new version of Final Cut Pro just around the corner, Apple’s latest ProKit update — ProKit 7.0 (15.7MB) for Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and later — is perhaps the last meaningful we’ll see for this version:

• Improved support for PopOver style tooltips
• Improved support for Font Smoothing
• Addresses an issue with an unwanted gap between a menu and submenu
• Fixes leaks and improves stability for the color picker and timecode interface in Final Cut Pro and Motion
• Improved compatibility when importing from older versions of Soundtrack Pro
• Fixes an issue with the scrubber appearance in Logic Express and Logic Pro
• Addresses AppKit related crashes in Motion
