Aperture 2.1.4 & Canon 7d RAW don't work

Hi,
I have borrowed a Canon 7d to shoot an occasion, all the shots were in RAW, no JPGs.
I'm running latest Aperture 2.1.4 and Mac OS X 10.6.6 w/ all updates (related or non related) installed.
Plugged the 7d through a USB cable, imported all the photos in Aperture, problem is, I can only see a thumbnail of the photos, tried to fully browse them w/o any luck, I get a dark-red screen with: "Unsupported Image Format", also, thumbnails are pixelated.
I've done my searching and found out that I need to select-all images and go to: File>Migrate Images, tried that, both 'Upgrade Existing RAW images' and 'Create upgraded version of existing RAW images'. None worked out for me, I still can't view my images & edit them within Aperture 2.1.4.
What should I do? I desperately need help!
Thanks in advance...

First, make sure that you are using full RAW files not RAWs. RAW s is a smaller size setting in the camera which has not been supported by Aperture in the past. Second, try rebuilding your Aperture database. I have a Canon 7d and use RAW. It works fine on my system. You can try reinstallation but if your problem is the RAW version or your database, reinstallation will not address the problem.

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.

Canon G10 thumbnails don't work??

Hi -
I have CS4 and have installed the latest update but the thumbnails for Canon G10 raw files do not display (ACR will open and convert them properly). All other raw files (nikon) do display thumbs.
Any one have a tip for troubleshooting this?
thanks,
Tom O'Connell

Have you purged the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Bridge Tools menu?
Also check the ACR forum. I seem to remember that some type(s) of files from certain Canon files are not supported (not considered true or conforming raw files)
Adobe Camera Raw Forum [CLICK HERE]
What exact version of Bridge and the OS are you running?

I need help, I have CS4 and had to reinstall from a hard copy. Now my camera RAW don't work.

I had a 50d and just bought a 7d. my photoshop cs4 was acting up so i unitstalled it. I reinstalled it from my hard copy (cd) and now i can not get it to open ps RAW....

Run Help - Updates.
If that for some reason fails, you can visit one of these pages to get updates and install them manually. You'll want the Camera Raw 5.7 update.

Cannot read canon 1DC raw files on CS5.1

any body know how i can get the canon 1DC camera to work on CS5.1? I can view the jpgs but not the raw files. Can any one help?

Aperture 2 Canon G9 Raw problem

If you have any raw files in Aperture 1.5.x libraries they should be deleted fist before upgrading. This images were not compatible in 1.5.x and cannot be read. I kept them in 1.5.x thinking when an upgrade would come they would then be supported.
See intial post of the problem at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1408070&tstart=0
The solution is as follows:
Before upgrading to Aperture 2 back up your vault
Then delete any unsupported raw .cr2 files that may be in the library.
I tried exporting the raw files first before deleting them but files became corrupted. Try any way it may work for you.
Back up your library again under a different name to a new vault. This new vault will ne all images minus the raw.
You now will have to back ups of your Aperture 1.5.x libraries- one with raw and all other images - one of just your images and no raw.
This is done just to be super safe.
Make sure you have all upgrades of Leopard, Aperture 1.5.6 and Iphoto? loaded and running OK.
Now insert you Aperture 2 dvd disk and follow the instructions to upgrade.
All should go well with no worries off losing your images.
Today I will try the new features of Aperture 2. So far it does seem to run a little faster.
New raw files imported perfectly with no problems.
Again the problem I had is related to Canon G9 raw files that are not supported im Aperture 1.5.6 library then upgrade to Aperture 2 and tried to rad them and open them in CS3 within the new Aperture 2 taking out all the other jpg image in the same project.
Again for more detail on this problem read the initial post linked above.
Enjoy and remeber always back up even the backup.
SH

Well, I really should pay closer attention to Apple tech support. The Apple document here is correct: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307342
The solution is EASY:
After importing a project with the Canon G9 RAW files into Aperture 2, they have incorrect aspect ratios, as we all experienced. I simply selected the distorted RAW files, chose File--> Migrate and checked the box to update my RAW files. Lo and behold! All fixed.
No more problem.
(I really should pay closer attention to what I read...)
Hope it works for you.

10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

I have the same exact issue.
I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
Also the G9 raws are not working.
Finally after 3 months it's still not working
I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
Are the D3, D300 raws working?

New Canon 60D RAW in Aperture

In case anyone is still having probelms in working in RAW prior to Ap3 camera list being updated here is how i get around it. Download Adobe dng free converter. Load the Canon camera software that comes with the 60D.
Import raw files from camera into the Canon software. Move those files to a folder on your desktop. Then open the Adobe dng converter and select the folder on your desk top conatining the camera RAW files. Convert the files in the Adobe converter. Then back in the Canon software drag all the converted files straight into the Ap3 icon. You now have a folder containing RAW files in Ap almost as good as original but not quiet. A long process so hopefully Ap3 will be updated soon with the 60D JohnT

Answering myself:
RAW compatibility support is not Aperture independent, it is a OS wide issue. To get support for Canon 60D RAW you must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as described here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
I've just completed such upgrade and I can now see my RAW images in the finder (with quick preview). However, upgrading rendered my Aperture useless as launching it reports "Aperture can not be opened because of a Problem". Off to the forums... Feel like I'm setting up Linux here... Apple!

Aperture 2.1 doesn't lift Raw Fine Tuning for Canon 40D

Anyone know what's going on here. I can lift all adjustments including raw fine tuning with all my cameras (Canon 1D Mark III; 1Ds Mark III; Mark IIN) except for the 40D. For some reason when I click the Lift button on 40D images the Raw Fine Tuning option in the lift hud doesn't appear. Only Adjustments, Main Rating, IPTC and Custom. I've tried quitting Aperture and restarting. I've also tried rebooting. Problem persists.

First, make sure that you are using full RAW files not RAWs. RAW s is a smaller size setting in the camera which has not been supported by Aperture in the past. Second, try rebuilding your Aperture database. I have a Canon 7d and use RAW. It works fine on my system. You can try reinstallation but if your problem is the RAW version or your database, reinstallation will not address the problem.

Aperture 2.0 and Canon XSi (450D)

Does anyone know if Aperture supports the new Canon XSi model? Or if there is a list of supported cameras for aperture? iPhoto keeps rejecting the CR2 file format from my XSi and I'm looking for software that I can edit my RAW images.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Regards,
-Steve

I don't know that it's necessarily any harder for Apple to support the XSi than any other camera.
Supporting RAW formats means carefully analyzing proprietary file formats and sensor products and modeling them to provide consistent results across many different formats. It's not is it merely hacking up a file -- you want those raw sliders to work as expected and deliver beautiful results.
Combine this with the fact that camera companies tend to release many new products all at the same time, and it's not a fast process.
By way of comparison: in late August 2006, Canon announced the XTi. Samples were available at Photokina in early September. I purchased one the day they came in, which was late September -- around the 24th or so. Full, flawless XTi support was added to the operating system (thus for both iPhoto and Aperture) in early November. That's a turn around of about 2 months from announcement to support, and of about a month and a half from release to support. I'd say we have another month or so to wait.
In the meantime, it's possible to use an external RAW converter, convert to DNG or 16 bit Tiff (I'd use Tiff if you have the space), add the converted files to Aperture and store them on disc/network along side the RAW originals. Then, once support is added, you can add your originals, stamp the changes you made to the converted versions to the originals, and then remove the conversions. Again, this is a workaround for a month or so, and is the price you pay for being on the bleeding edge.

Does Aperture always apply white balance to RAW files?

Hi Aperture users,
I have been an Aperture user for many years. Aperture handles the white balance of my Canon XTi RAW files just as I want it to: it interprets the RAW data by applying the white balance selected at the time of the photo. I.e., when Aperture decodes the RAW file, it makes it look more-or-less like the in-camera JPG with respect to the white balance.
However, in the past several months, many well-known contributors of this forum have stated "RAW is RAW -- Aperture will not apply any camera settings." This statement was made in response to many "novice" questions about why a RAW photo in Aperture did not look anything like the JPG from the camera.
So, my questions:
Does anyone have a camera to whose RAW files Aperture does not apply in-camera white balance settings?
Does everyone else agree that this exception to "RAW is RAW" is acceptable?
thanks,
nathan

Hi Nathan -- I was hoping someone much more informed than me would weigh in with some engineering truth. All I got on offer is the thin gruel of observation.

1. I don't. RAW is sensor data. Most cameras record the White Balance camera setting as a metadata tag attached to the RAW data (The WB has no effect at all on the captured data.) Most RAW converters use this setting as the default WB. Some RAW converters perform "colorimetric interpretation" -- they basically compare the data captured to a generic color space and assign a WB. (This is, I assume, the same thing a camera set to "Auto WB" does. My camera is superb at assigning a WB for any mixed scene; it's repeatably bad, though, whenever the actual scene is truly colored (meaning "away from average").) In both cases -- 1. using the attached-to-the-RAW-data WB, and 2. analyzing the captured data to intelligently predict the WB -- a WB is applied to the RAW data. It has to be, in order to produce an image from the data.
2. The problem here isn't that this is an exception -- it's that different people mean different things when they say "RAW". The RAW data is RAW data. As above, the WB setting has no effect on it. But the image derived from the data -- any image produced from the data -- much have a WB set (and, for human use, a tone-curve applied). Some people mistaken think that RAW is an image format, or that the image produced by the RAW converter is a "RAW" image. It is not. RAW data must be converted to an image format in order to be displayed as an image. The conversion must apply a WB.
I have found it useful (though perhaps mistaken) to conceive of my data-gathering to picture-making as following these steps:
. Capture a pattern of light. This is just data.
. Convert the data to an image. RAW conversion done by Aperture. (NB: the settings for this can be changed.)
. Adjust the image to my artistic satisfaction
. Convert the adjusted image to an image format file
. Publish the image-format file in one or two now standard forms: to be viewed on a computer monitor, or as a print.
I mention only because at some point I consciously added the "Convert data to image" step in order to better grasp the process. RAW data is RAW data -- but that step identifies an intermediate that many overlook. At that step the information recorded along with the RAW data and stored in the RAW file is applied to the RAW data.
To me, "RAW is RAW" is correct. "Aperture will not apply any camera settings," is wrong.
I am happy for any clarifications or corrections.

When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files?

When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files? I have a new camera and would love to use the raw files in iphoto. No luck so far. Aperature seems to lack the abilty to open them also. Anyone here as to when iphoto will be updated?

Hi again.
No, I don't use aperture, I tried the demo and liked it, but I'd previously bought the commercial version of Pixmantec RawShooter converter for my 10D - Pixmantec were 'bought out' by Adobe, and Adobe generously offered all RawShooter purchasers a free licence for Lightroom, which I also like a lot (though haven't fully got to grips with), so can't currently justify Aperture too.
The one thing I'd say about Aperture is that the colour management for some reason just nailed the colours when printing using canned profiles, in a way other apps hadn't on Windows (including QImage). I was particularly impressed by this using an old Epson 1290S A3+ printer which always tended to produce prints with a colour cast.
iPhoto seems to handle RAW conversions very well and simply, although it's not as refined as the high end apps. This together with organising features are probably what make you find it so easy. Remember though that when you display/tweak RAW files, iPhoto will be creating a file to store these changes as the RAWs do not get directly manipulated. As all this is done behind the scenes again this probably makes it seem easy.
If you don't have Aperture or Lightroom, both were available for 30 day demo last time I checked.

Canon 6D RAWs processed awfully bad?!

Hi,
I previously owned a Canon 400D and loved Aperture for the entire workflow, it was just a breeze. Now got a new Canon 6D and also took some test photos with the 5D mk3, and every Raw that I import just looks awfully dark and contrasty.
That is, for a moment they look nice, and then, when they're fully loaded, they turn dark and contrasty.
I thought something would be wrong with the cameras, but opened up some of the pictures in lightroom or in Photoshop, using the adobe raw processor, and there, everything looks nice.
I never knew that the aperture raw processing was so bad, not just with colors, but also with noise reduction for example. Am I doing anything wrong, maybe with some secret color space setting or so (cam is set to sRGB), or are the raw profiles in aperture for these new cameras just not implemented properly yet?
Example Images:
Aperture:

Adobe Raw Conversion (nothing done, except hit auto adjust and increased the luma denoise a bit)
http://chfilm.de/download/foto/IMG_0324LR.jpg
what is going on?? I seriously what have never expected such an enormous impact on image quality by the software, especially since I thought Aperture was a Pro-tool. Look at the sharpness of the images!!

I have been fortunate enough to recently upgrade myself to a Canon EOS 6D. After my first shoot, I was heartbroken to see the poor quality of the images--dark, low contrast, etc. This was fixable in Aperture with some effort, but then I started noticing serious blue and orange color artifacts around high-contrast edges, and a near total loss of detail in deeper shadows. I was about to return the 6D as defective but then tried a couple images in Canon's RAW processing software. And I was blown away by the results--gorgeous images, perfect contrast and loads of shadow detail that could be extracted with the right adjustments. I also grabbed a trial of Lightroom, which produced results similart to Canon's software.
So there's nothing wrong with the camera. Apple's RAW converter for the 6D is just flat busted. How could something this bad have actually made it out the door?
I've been a long-term Aperture user--since version 2.0, and have grown to love the interface and the effortless workflow for organizing images. But the issues with the 6D RAW converter have pretty much forced me to abandon Aperture over night. Hello Lightroom.
As with previous comments, I suspect this is really just part of the thin end of the wedge with Aperture and that it may be headed for extinction. Sad.
Here is an example that shows the shadow issues. Both are 100% views of he same RAW file loaded without any additional adjustments--except that I've cranked up the shadow level to illustrate the Aperture RAW converter's failure:

Canon G11 RAW format not supported?

I am guessing Aperture does not support the G11 RAW format at this time since I am getting the dreaded red image that says "unsupported format". Is it me or is is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Yup, same here. I just bought a Canon G11, I'm shooting in RAW, which produces .CR2's. That should take advantage the camera's maximum quality if I'm not mistaken, which is what I want.
iPhoto doesn't like em'.
Think Apple will eventually begin to support the G11's .CR2's? I definitely don't want to lower my shooting quality, but I also don't want the hassle to run Photoshop for each & every photo.
