If you’re the sort of user who tends to have many applications open at once, Spaces is a godsend to you.

The Mac OS X 10.5.4 update might have made you restart your Mac, but it also added “RAW image support for several cameras.” While Apple didn’t tell us what these cameras were in Software Update, they did later update the RAW support page for Mac OS X Leopard.
