RAW Images not importing

I have iPhoto 6 (ver 6.0.5), I also have a Canon PowerShot G2. Recently I started storing the photo in the RAW format for later editing. I checked to make sure iPhoto supported my camera using the RAW format and it does. When I try to import the images it will always give me a prompt saying it cannot read these files (they may be an unrecognized file type or they may not contain valid data). The extension to the file is
" .CRW ".
How can I fix this?

  • Not all RAW images are imported

    I have CS5 and use a Lumix FZ150.  The native format of the RAW images on the camera is RW2.  When I try to open these in CS5, some are opened some do not.  The pics that open, open in Camera RAW.  The others give me an error message, that my camera is not supported?
    Any ideas as to what the problem is.

    The FZ150 RW2 files should open in ACR 6.5 thru ACR 6.7 for CS5.   If you are not use ACR 6.7 you might try that, first, in case there was some issue that was corrected in later versions.  
    If you are already using that version, then the files may be corrupt.  It could be a bad memory card, bad card reader/cable or even a bad hard-drive on the computer.  You might try transferring the bad files, again, from the memory card, perhaps using a different method (camera-connected-cable vs card-reader) and see if they work a second time.  If not, then the memory card may be bad.  If the files transfer ok a second time, then something besides the memory card is bad.
    If nothing you do works, then perhaps the camera is writing the files in a different mode that Adobe doesn’t support.  I am not familiar with your camera to know what that might be, but some cameras write smaller raw formats or HDR raw formats and maybe Adobe doesn’t decode everything.
    If you can’t figure it out, then you can try posting a bad file, here, so others can take a look.  The way to do that would be to upload the raw file (or preferably a ZIP of the raw file) to a large-file hosting service like www.dropbox.com or www.skydrive.com or www.wetransfer.com or www.yousendit.com and then post the public download link in a reply, here.

  • RAW files not importing

    Hi
    I have lots of RAW images taken with a Canon G2 which iPhoto 6 doesn't import for me when I drag the files over. The camera is on the famous list of supported cameras (http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html). Why might these files fail to import?
    Thanks

    This is not a case of iPhoto stopping importing. It has failed to recognise my G2 RAWs from the start. As RAWs from my other cameras are OK in iPhoto it seems I am not doing anything wrong with RAW files generally. OSX and Preview both read my G2 RAWs, so there is nothing wrong with the files. But, iPhoto does not read them and – whatever the list of supported cameras claims – my G2 RAWs are clearly not supported by iPhoto.
    I have searched the forums thoroughly without a sniff of a solution. That leaves me looking elsewhere than iPhoto for a program to make a complete catalogue of my images.
    Unless someone has a fix...

  • RAW Imgs not importing into Aperture

    I recently downloaded Aperture 3 and the "Apple Pro Training Series - Aperture 3" book to learn how to get the most of this application.  However, as I followed the first lesson in the book it calls for a simulated import of images which includes RAW images.  All of the JPGs are imported but not the RAW files.  I am not new to using photo editing software nor am I new to working with a Mac.  But I do not understand why the RAW files wouldn't import.  Any thoughts?  Am I missin a setting in Aperture 3 that was supposed to be set upon install?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Mike
    p.s. I just recently upgraded to ML too.

    What were the raw files? Were they from a supported camera?
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Were they matching pairs or Raw + JPEG files? If so, they came in but you have only the Jpeg showing perhaps. You need to select the image and choose Set Raw as Original in the context menu.

  • Invisible raw images when importing

    I've done some reading of the forum and think I may have a unique problem. After I shoot raw images on my 20D I find that I can import the jpgs directly from the camera but the raw images do not. Any idea why? I can find them using the Canon Viewer utility.

    The same problem on Vista x64 & LightRoom 1.1 with Canon EOS 400D. The only way I found is copying CR2 files into temporary folder & import this folder manually.

  • Raw Photos not importing

    Shot some photos on Raw with a Canon 60d. Transferred them to an external drive. Premiere Pro CC does non see the files. Can not import them. Only way was to convert them to tiff files. Should I had shot them in Canon RGB?

    Not surprised. NLE's have been designed primarily to work with files that compared to stills cameras are "low res" ... but voluminous in number. NLE's have to handle thousands of images on the fly, that need de-compressing not just individually but whole groups "share" bits & pieces though perhaps in different places as subjects or camera move during a scene.
    A D800 can produce relatively a MASSIVE single image file. It's a very different thing. Doing that much scaling on the fly is yes, a stretch for most NLE's. I'd also note that I've heard and seen many comments about the re-sizing of still images not being a strength of NLE's as compared to say Photoshop. So it is recommended that still images be sized per the sequence they'll be on before being imported. The exception of course is if one is doing the "Ken Burns" effect, and either panning across a section of a still image over time or zooming in or out over time. Yet even then it is recommended to figure out the largest image size you'll need and re-sizing to that in a stills image editor.

  • Iphoto distorts Raw images on import

    Good Afternoon,
    Please could some one help with a problem that has started to occur with my RAW images which i have been trying to import from My Canon 700d
    When importing to iphoto the pictures seem to distort and either as below go multi coloured or cut half the image off.
    i have the latest firmware installed on my camera and have the canon utilities installed on my mac mini and have also tried transfering the images via cable and via a card reader.
    the images appear fine on my mac book pro and on the camera
    my memory card is also a class 10 30mbps

    Try this:
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    From the post:
    The solution was to remove and re-install the RAW support from Apple.
    The solution was to
    remove "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle" from the /System/Library/Coreservices Folder
    (In Terminal.app: "cd /System/Library/CoreServices/", "sudo rm -r *Raw*" (WARNING, THIS REMOVES THE FILES INSTANTLY!))
    Reboot the system
    Re-Download the Raw Compatibility update 5.06 form Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757 and install it
    Restart Aperture, reprocess the affected files and order the photo book.

  • Images NOT importing to iPhoto library, I only end up with thumbnails.

    I am importing images to my iPhoto 11 library, but I only end up with thumbnails. Originals are NOT importing as masters. In Advanced Preferences, I DO have 'Copy items to iPhoto Library' checked. I have tried importing jpg's from a folder and a DVD, and results are always the same - thumbnails only, no originals to be found.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I got the same problem, BUT it didn't worked on my iPhoto, i have also tried to rebuild it whit ¨iPhoto Library Manager¨ that didn't worked to.
    I have a iMac 21.5 ultimo 2013 2,9 GHz Intel Core i5, and i bought it from another guy, so i just wanted to start my ¨new¨ iMac on a fresh, didn't wanna use my backup file on my Time Machine, everything else (what i wanted to have on my iMac, like files, programs, musik) i have on my old MacBook is now on my iMac, except all my photo´s.
    I can't find a way to get it, only have thumbnail in iphoto, i can't get the masters to open up.
    Can you please help me??

  • Lightroom 3:  images not imported because the files can not be read:

    Nikon D700 NEF files are fine.  I can copy them to a folder and work with them in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. 
    LR3 will not import them to the existing catalog from the CF Disk or from a folder on the c:\drive.  I tried creating a new catalog -- the same problem occurs.
    Suggestions are welcomed.

    I have the latest version
    LR 3.4.1
    Camera Raw 6.4.1
    I created a new Catalog in c:\My Documents\LR2011\...
    Running Windows 7 64 bit
    Emptied the ReCycle bin
    Have plenty of storage...
    Now I'm getting the message:  "Could not copy file to requested location"
    Everything worked fine with LR 2 and the LR 3.0
    Since upgrading I can't read NEF files from my D700 or copy to requested location.  LR will display thumbnails, but I can not add to my now, non-existent Catalog...
    What a farce!!!

  • Canon 350D Raw images not recognised

    Hi,
    I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X (specifically preview and iPhoto) won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.
    The images have finder thumbnails but if I try to open them I get:
    The document "xxx.cr2" could not be opened.
    Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
    In iPhoto I get an 'Unreadable files' alert telling me it can't read them and then lists the files.
    I know that it should work fine and am stuck in terms of what I'm doing wrong.
    This problem has existed since I was on 10.4.7 when I bought the computer and camera - I'm now on 10.4.9. I did download the Aperture trial to see if that helped and had the same problems. Reinstalling OS X made no difference.
    Any ideas?

    Imac 20" C2D   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Actually, I was getting support for my Canon Powershot S50 in 10.4.8 (at least I could open the Raw files, although Image Capture mysteriously stopped downloading them from the camera), after doing the 10.4.9 Combo update Preview announced it could not open the files. I went in and hacked this file:
    "/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist"
    Changed the entry for Canon S60 (which I don't have) to Canon S50. Preview will now open the files, haven't tried Image Capture yet to see if it is still broken (works fine in Panther BTW). See this discussion in MacOSXHints:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051101035330228
    It worked sort of for me (at least I can open the Raw files I already have).

  • Raw Images not recognised.

    WHAT have I done wrong? Running Windows 7 ...Photoshop CS5... But cannot open Raw images from a Nikon D300. The 'Latest' ACR w 6.7.1 is downloaded.. Screen message says it is the wrong sort of document.

    ps cs5 shipped with cr 6.0 which is sufficient for your nikon d300.
    but to see which cr version is installed For Photoshop CS5 - click help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw. The version is listed in the right side of the window.
    if that's not 6.71, Double-click the downloaded file and follow the onscreen instructions.

  • Raw images not recognised in CS5

    I am suddenly experiencing problems with Bridge not recognisng my Raw images. I have a new Canon EOS70D which has been fine - but suddenly now when I download the files from the camerato open in Bridge, I get a message saying 'Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Bridge."
    I have read the help files and have tried upgrading my Raw plug-in to 'Camera Raw 8.2 and DNG Converter 8.2'. This was done carefully, folllowing the istructions of how to do it and removing the older version.
    Adobe don't want to knwo as CS5 is not supported any more. Can anyone please help? Should I delete CS5 and reload, or is there an answer to this?

    If you actually installed Camera Raw 8.2 that is probably your problem. The last version of Camera Raw you can use with Photoshop CS5 is version 6.7. You can use the later versions of the DNG converter, even the latest version. But you are going to have to get rid of Camera Raw 8.2 and go back to version 6.7.

  • Lightroom 3 Raw Files not Importing

    I have a Nikon d3200 and I am using Lightroom 3. My raw files are not importing. Do I need some sort of plugin? Im not sure where to find the plugin on Adobes site...ugh!!! #frustrated

    You would need the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 7.1 or later) to convert your D3200 raw photos to DNG.  The DNGs will import into Lightroom.

  • Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

    I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.

    And
    What camera?

  • Canon S120 RAW images not working with iPhoto. Why.

    Canon S120 RAW images why they can't be downloaded to iPhoto and/or when will Apple upgrade iPhoto so they can?

    Raw Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. That's Model not brand. The Raw from an S120 is not the same as the Raw from an S110 and so on. This is a pretty new camera, and the makes don't supply the Raw decoding, so they have to be reverse engineered. Then that will be released as part of an OS or camera raw update.
    Let Apple know you want this camera supported.
