Any info on future R1 RAW (SR2) file suport.

I am hoping that someone has heard or knows something about future support in Aperture for the Sony DCS R1. I posted a week ago and I hope I don't come off as complaining too much but as it turns out, I only have till the end of the month to decide if I want to switch to another product that does support the R1 RAW (SR2) format before the price goes up by a significant amount. Honestly, I really don't want to do that.
I love Aperture, it has been a enormous help to me but since the adjustment data will likely never be shared as a common format between these types of apps I feel compelled to choose one and stick with it. I have organizational problems and having my data split between to systems makes me highly uncomfortable. The Sony R1 is the camera I intend to use for the foreseeable future until an affordable SLR shows up on the market with the features I require. So I feel stuck.
I am just looking for ANY information... even unofficial, that would give me hope that Aperture would soon have support for my camera of choice. I have made a pretty large investment of time in adjusting and organizing my photography with Aperture and I really dont want to start that all over with something different. But I also can't stand still and not create.
I have sent feedback to Apple and received no response. My guess is that no one reading these boards will really have inside information but maybe they will and if nothing else perhaps I will help someone else not get stuck in the trap I got myself into.

Here is the whole process detailed for other R1 users...
Download Adobe DNG Converter here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?
Download PlistEdit Pro here:
http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/plisteditpro/
Use PlistEdit Pro to open this file:
System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/ Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist
Find the line that contains "DSLR-A100" and change just that text to "DSC-R1"
Use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your SR2 files to DNG.
(As Kari mentioned above you may want to keep the Original Sony RAW file. I have not yet determined if there is any downside to the conversion process. I suspect there isn't but I plan to play it safe.)
Import these DNG files into Aperture as you normally would.
So far everything seems to be working pretty well. The images look good and I have been comparing them directly to the other software that supports Sony R1 raw directly and I can see little difference. It would seem that the converted files contain all the information of the originals.
I am still not sure I want to adopt this convoluted workflow. As I mentioned I have organizational issues and relying on a piece of software to catalogue and sort my images when you have to hack it and convert every file seems like a really bad idea to be honest. Other people who dont have my issues may not see this as a big deal, but to me, it sorta defeats the main purpose of an application like Aperture... too give you non destructive adjustment of the detail rich files that come out of your camera and give you one organized place that you know contains all your images.
I can see myself down the road getting "locked-up" because I get the feeling that I haven't converted and imported everything or finding out that I could do something with the SR2 file thats not supported in the DNG and having to go back to the original files and recreate all the adjustments. Or worst case scenario, the hack stops working down the line and Aperture stops seeing the SR2/DNG files that I will have put enormous amounts of time and effort into sorting and adjusting.
This of course is exactly the sort of thing I am trying to avoid by using a application like Aperture.
So I have a lot of thinking to do... Good luck to any other R1 owners that are in the same boat. I have read the opinions of some people that think Apple will never directly support the R1's RAW, but at least as long as this hack works we have an option.

R1 RAW (SR2) file suport.

After learning that my new R1 was not supported by Aperture (Very surprised since my 828 was supported) I came here hoping to find a way to convert the files to some sort of standard RAW format. After reading quite a few threads it looks like there is no good solution. (the hack thats mentioned on the boards seems to have stopped working in 10.4.9)
I am making this post in the hopes that someone can give me some new advice or that a Aperture team person may be influenced by one more R1 user posting and push for direct R1 support.
Thanks,
Doc.

Thanks for your input, I really do appreciate it as I am in a total funk about how to move forward.
I plan on getting CS3 very soon and I will attempt to give this workflow a shot.
To be honest though it seems to me that due to my R1 being my primary camera now and that by using smart objects in a PSD wrapper, I would be underusing the power of aperture and regulating it to more of a database role. Plus the extra effort of preparing the files (this could surely be scripted but still) makes what you suggest seem as if it may be a bitter pill for me to swallow. Opening up CS3 each time I want to make a minor adjustment doesn't seem to be in the spirit of Aperture.
I love this program but I feel totally stuck... Like I don't want to shoot another picture till support is added. I simply can't go back to shooting jpeg knowing what I do about the power of the raw format and I can't go back to shooting with my 828 knowing how much more I get out of the R1. As it is, I think I have to start considering the "other" solution. Which feels weird because I have been such a hard-core Aperture cheer leader since it first came out. Several other people I know use it based on my badgering them to try it.
Looking at the list of supported cameras makes me scratch my head... there are many more "consumer-ish" cameras on the list than the R1. Many people would argue that the R1 is one of the most "pro" "prosumer" Cameras available. Honestly I just never considered it would not be supported or that there would be no way to convert to a standard RAW format.

Any info on CRC, checksum, or other file integity VIs for large binary files?

Working on send rather large binary files (U16 stream to file) via internet. Would like to check for file integity via CRC or comparable checksum. Would appreciate any comments/suggestions

Hi Brian,
You said;
"Would appreciate any comments/suggestions".
You did not mention what transport mechanism you plan on using.
As I understand ALL of the standard mechanism use CRC of some form to ensure the validity of the packet BEFORE it is ever passed up the OSI 7-Layer model.
TCP/IP based protocols will see to it that all of the segments of a transfer are completed and in order.
UDP on the other hand is a broadcast type protocol and does not ensure any packets are recieved.
So,
At the very worst you should be able to handle your "sanity checks" by simply using a sequence value that is included in your out-going message. The reciever should just have to check if the current seq value is equal to the previous +1.
I co-developed an app that ut
ilized this technique to transfer status messages from a RT platform to a Windows machine. The status messages in this app where concidered FYI, so the sequence counter served as a way of determining if anything was missed.
I am insterested in others thoughts on this subject.

Parsing raw DAT files from WVC210 IP cam

Hi,
Is there any information available about the raw DAT file format that cisco uses for the WvC210 IP camera's?
A surveillence system based on 2 WvC210 IP camera's was vandalised and we could salvage only the DAT files, the rest is trashed.
I've loaded the software onto a new system and put the DAT files in the correct location but nothing works on these files.
I can see structure in the raw data, so there is something there.
The validate tools and the DBTools don't have any effect so maybe the files are mangled.
But as a programmer I could parse the files and possibly pad stuff to get it working again.
It's really important we do a full effort to retrieve some evidence, any help is appreciated.
I've read most posts and I relalise the product is EOL, but all I need is the file structure, any tech docs available?
Regards,
Shaun

Hi Alan,
We have more .DAT files but no .rcd or other files.
Here is the full file list, showing bytes and filenames.
These are all the files that were recovered from the vandalised harddrive.
But I'll double check this just to be sure.
I'm guessing the naming convention is:

Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

Were all just users here no Apple employees so no one can say (and if Apple was here they wouldn't say either)'
It's just not the type of information Apple gives out. You can go to Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback to let them know you want his camera included. But when that will happen is anyone's guess.
One strategy you can use for the time being is to shoot RAW + JPG (assuming the camera has this mode) and import both as a RAW+JPG pair making the JPG the master. Then when the RAW support comes out you can switch and make the RAW the master and process the file.
There are other ways to deal with this until the camera is supported. Post back for more info.

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF

When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out). This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file. Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point? I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
Fire away.....

Answering this question:
This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF. Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
Answering this question:
CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind).
Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!
Hypothetical Example:
"Why doesn't Adobe Camera RAW 10.3 work properly with my Canon 1600 D MK XV 45 Megapixel camera in Photoshop CS3?"

Ah, gotchya. Your Fuji camera must not then be on this list here? http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html You could presumably use the sw that came with the camera and create jpegs or tiffs with them and keep them in aperture along side the unsupported raws, in stacks.

Having trouble placing RAW / dng files in idesign 5.5. Any suggestions?

Having trouble placing RAW / dng files in idesign 5.5. Any suggestions?
Here's what i've done so far:
Updated my raw plug in
I shoot on canon rebel t3-i

Open the RAW or DNG file in Photoshop as a Smart Object. Then save as a PSD file. Place the PSD in InDesign with File > Place
InDesign cannot place RAW files. However, if you use the workflow I suggest, you can still edit the RAW/DNG files if needed. To edit, choose Edit Original from the InDesign Links panel, and the PSD image will open up. Then double-click the smart object and it will open in Adobe Camera Raw. Saving the changes in PSD will update them in InDesign.

Anyone have any info on settings.sxx files?

Hi everyone:
I thought I'd additionally post this inquiry on the OSX technologies forum--not finding solutions elsewhere.
I've turned up with a "settings.sxx" file on every network Mac I've turned on today. Following an equally puzzled Panther forum user's link to http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=SXX, it's supposedly a "SAS Stat Studio Executable Module". Yikes. I went to the SAS site and turned up this article: http://www.sas.com/success/dmdc.html.
What is scary here is that it looks like some sort of tracking software (more than your average cookie) that can read ANY type of file. It also keeps returning after trashing and restart. I have not loaded any new software or subscribed anywhere new online. Does Apple security or anyone else know how this all of a sudden pops up, how to irradicate it, and how to block this kind of "cookie monster" from planting in the first place??
Any info is greatly appreciated!

What's the path to these files? I have a bunch of "settings.sol" files on my PowerBook, but they're connected to the Macromedia Flash Player as they're all stored in the preferences folder for that. Perhaps the file extension changes depending on the version of the Flash player...
Here's the path to one of mine:

As usual this question has documented answers, and you are asking this question, because you consistently refuse to read any documentation. So in your case the answer could have been 'Yes, there is. See the docs'.
You could actually say you are in gross violation of the forums etiquette post, and are abusing this forum.
If you would have read the docs, you wouldn't have used dbms_support (which was never supported for end-users), but you would have looked at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_monitor.htm#i1003679
and what do you see?
The life of a DBA can be so easy when he makes an attempt to find information himself!
He doesn't have to wait until some kind soul answers doc question 779!

Why is iPhoto (Mountain Lion) importing RAW/NEF files as jpeg's?

I am manually importing via DVD's my archived iPhoto files from iPhoto '08, (7.1.5), Snow Leopard, to my new computer running Mountain Lion. iPhoto '11 (9.4.3). Most of my files are in RAW format (NEF) and was saved as such. I am noticing that as I import from the discs into the new iPhoto, it is importing some as jpeg's and I am loosing my RAW data. I am findiing very little being imported as RAW.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Is there somewhere in the settings that I am not finding, to correct this? I checked all that I know to look at and I did not find anywhere an option to change the format of the image in importing.
I, also, converted files from jpeg to.tiff and saved them as such, but I am not finding any .tiff files either.
Any info?
Thank you for any help you can give.

OK. WOW!
One by one! Larry, Terence and Old Toad,
Thank you, all of you, for your helpful replies.
Firstly, I am a little confused between Larry and Terence; sounds like opposite info. Is it?
Old Toad, Now I know about this easy way to do this. I have, at least, 1T+20,000 more images, some of which I will import into my new 750 gig Macbook Pro, so this seems easy. (Already over 30,000 images. Can iPhoto hold so much???)
It seems tho, that I AM BUSTED!
Unfortunatelly, I could not import directly the old Library to the new Library because of the below reason. (even tho there seems to be some difference of opinion on this between Terence and Larry)
I did the unthinkable. I worked out of the iPhoto Library.
What I did was this: my older Macbook Pro, had a 200 gig HDD, and could NOT handle all the photos I was putting into it (which I needed to do the work I want to do), so I first downloaded the images from my camera to iPhoto, then, I downloaded,as I went along, by year, to external HDD, and then I cut DVD's, by year, in pieces, via Toast, as my backup. (both, directly from the iPhoto Library), Then, I deleted many of the photos in each event, in each year, leaving only enough to remind me what is in that event.
(Then, when I needed images from that event, I could go back to the HDD to see and get the rest of the pix I needed to use).
I KNOW this is totally SACRELIGIOUS of Mac and the whole iPhoto Library set-up, but it didn't hurt the library functioning, (in the old mac), at all, and was the only way I knew to do it, as going thru iPhoto itself, didn't work out so well.
(That is why I didn't import directly my old library to the new Mac, not all the photos were there, and I thought it would be more confusing trying to add the missing photos to each event in the new iPhoto).
However, re-importing from the HDD to the new iPhoto, was a bit of a mess, as I got, (as 2 of you, above, said), mixed up info, as both "originals" as well as "events" downloaded, which gave me duplicates of some, and the dates are NOT necessarily in order, as was in the old iPhoto before. (but that I can reconcile, later, can't I?
Can I move events to other places in iPhoto?
However, going directly via the DVD's into the new iPhoto, gave me exact input and I got all the files as well as all the data. But, in some, very slow downloading, and very few, some date order mixup, but very few.
SO, this new iPhoto Library is a bit messed up with the duplicate images in about the first 3,000 or so images, but I assume I can fix this up.
Oh g---d.
In any event, it is now showing RAW and jpeg's as info in the metadata pane.
Thank you , all of you. I am not so computer savy, I do better in photography!
All the help I receive is welcome and worthwhile. And if there is anymore you want to tell me, besides scolding me for going into the iPhoto Library, it is all welcome.
I Thank you.

How my clients can upload raw video files to my linux server

Any ideas or thoughts really welcome:
I need to figure out a way or process for my clients to upload their raw video source files ( any known usual video formats and extensions) from their video cameras or devices or storage source that is tied into or thru their computer with a firewire or USB 2+ connection    and then uploaded directly into my remote linux server.   my linux server hard drve space is not a problem..
Once client has finished uploading, I would then download the resulting saved files to my computer for video/audio editing using Premiere 11
I know that one restriction or problem would be their connection and ISP issues (throttling etc.) , My server permits basically unlimited up/download traffic, so this should not be a problem and server has balancing.
Do they need to use a typical ftp account and something like cuteftp???   however my understanding of FTP clients do not do streaming from a device???? yes or No??   I always thought just static files.....   aam I correct?
how might my clients stream into my server.   i am wanting to set up an online video/audio editing website
once i finish editing I would upload file probably as a zip file for them to unzip. I can also build and send (mail) out a DVD-CD or Blu-ray. any other thoughts welcome on returning the finished edit.
My tech people say that i cannot effectively load and operate Premiere onto my server to do the editing.
I would appreciate any feedback and ideas
thanks

How people upload files to your server is really a question for your server company... you need to find out from your server company how they handle permissions and uploads
