Aperture 2 and Nikon D7000

Uploading NEF files from my new Nikon D7000 to Aperture 2 gives me an "Unsupported Image Format" error message. JPGs are fine. I do not see any software updates from Apple to resolve this problem. I'm hoping that I don't need to upgrade to Aperture 3 and am not sure that this would rectify the problem anyway. Any suggestions?

I've been shooting in RAW with my D7000 even before this update. After installing it though, it still showed a bunch of "Unsupported Image Format" errors for a bunch of my RAW files. Read this to fix the problem.

Aperture 2 and Nikon D7000 RAW files. Do I need to upgrade to Aperture 3?

I currently have a Nikon D70 with a Nikon D7000 on its way. I want to know if Aperture 2 will process Nikon D7000 RAW files. I searched Apple support and these discussions. I only could find confirmation that Aperture 3 now handles it. But I have not found anything that confirms that Aperture 2 indeed did NOT get an update to handle the D7000 RAW files.
Can someone confirm this?
Thanks.

For future reference, all the cameras listed on the Aperture RAW Support web page that have the double asterisk "**" require Aperture 3.

Aperture Lightroom Nikon D7000...

Hi have just upgraded my iMac and as my Nikon D7000 is not compatible with Lightroom 2 which I had before I now need to either get Lightroom 3 or perhaps switch to Aperture.
2 questions - does the latest version of Aperture work well with the Nikon D7000. Seemless RAW conversion etc
And the obvious question Aperture vs Lightroom . I am not hugely techie but maange to understand and use LR well enough but Aperture seems to get good reviews and comments.
I should add that when my data was transferred to my new computer by a so called computer expert ALL my photos ended up n iphoto and there is nothing showing in Lightroom 2

Hi Adele,
I've got the D5100, so the same sensor - and I use Aperture for pretty much everything. If you're coming from Lightroom to Aperture, there are a few things that are a little different. The items that immediately come to mind are:
Aperture can do on-screen soft-proofing, which is really useful for working out the effect of using different papers when printing your photos
Aperture doesn't do gradients, which is something that would be really nice
Aperture's terminology is a little different to Lightroom's - be prepared to read and think about it before diving in.
Unlike Lightroom, Aperture manages your images either in their current locations on the hard disk, or by importing them into a managed library - but in both cases, Aperture is the method by which you subsequently manage and organise the images - not Finder. When you look at the images in Aperture, you are looking at a logical representation of your collection, not how they are stored on the disk. (to take this to a logical absurdity, every image could live in a single folder on the hard disk but in Aperture you could have organised them into 100 different Projects...).
Aperture has some quite cool brushes, which are more powerful than initially appreciated. You can, for example, brush in curves...
On the downside, Aperture lacks an adjustment history for the image and "undo" works for the last adjustment only. This isn't as bad as it sounds, as the sequence of adjustments should be from top to bottom of the list in any case...
Aperture is non-modal - processing and organising all happen in the one interface.
That's it for now - I'm sure there are other things, but be prepared to "think different"...

ACR/LR3.3 and Nikon D7000 - magenta color mismatch?

I recently purchased the Nikon D7000. The NEF RAW files are not supported in current versions of LR and CS5.
Downloaded and installed LR 3.3RC. Also downloaded and installed ACR 6.3R1.
Both work with the D7000 NEF-files with ONE exception. If I shoot a "Multiple Exposure" (one feature of the D7000) the resulting image in both LR and ACR displays in strong "pink"/magenta. All other images display correctly.
If I open the pink images in Nikon Capture NX2 2.2.6 they open correctly.
If I use the White Balance tool (pipette) in LR, I can bring the image back to "almost normal" but the WB values then are Temp: 2150, Tint: -138. Conclusion: the Multi Exposure Image from the D7000 is completely mismatched by LR/ACR. But they are correctly matched by Capture NX2.
This obviously needs to be corrected before final release.
Has anyone else expreienced the same? Is there a workaround?

Can't Tether Between LR 4.2 64bit and Nikon D7000

Hi all.
I was able to tether from the same camera, to the very same PC with the exact same cord when I had LR 3.
When version 4 came out and I updated I didn't had the need to tether. Now I've been hired to capture a promo for a fashion event, and wanted to bring my laptop along, so I could make sure everything goes great.
After 9 and a half hours of tinkering with 5 different cables, I haven't found why the hell LR 4 is not seeing my D7000.
I uninstalled the camera's driver from my PC and let the plug and play find it again, and it even tells me my D7000 is ready to use. It basically appears as another storage unit, but I can't tether it to LR 4.2. I even tried plugin the USB cord to 8 different USB ports. It's worth mentioning that since I installed LR 4, I've never had any problem with any other software. Hence, there hasn't been any O.S re installs or anything of the kind.
Before you ask me why I keep using v4.2 and haven't updated to 4.3 it's simply because I gave up on trying to install a 700+mb update that is broken. Tried the "Unblock" option from the ".exe" properties dialog, and nothing changes. Runned it as Admin, nothing. Cpy-pasted it to the root folder where 4.2 is currently installed (just in case), and still, no luck. I've grew tired of the installer telling me to free more space when there are 2.7 TB available for it to use.
So, leaving aside the update failure, I need LR 4.2 to let me tether with my Nikon D7000, just as LR 3 let me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Max Kimmich

Aperture and Nikon D200

I've bought"Aperture" 2 days ago but i can't open the .NEF files taken with my Nikon D200
What can i do?

Hi Stephen,
You missed the (see camera model listing) which lists the specific models.
Of course, I went to the Aperture page, and I missed it too. It would be nice if there's a link.
The D200 is not supported with Aperture 1.0 or 1.0.1. It will be supported with 1.1, which Apple has noted will be available in March. So, at worst, it should be 23 days or less.
Here's a document which specifically lists the supported camera models:

If you read through the forum a bit, you'll see 5-10 other threads on this topic.
Cheers.

Big difference in RAW converter between Aperture and Nikon Capture NX

hi
here's a quick photo for comparing (hosted on my site since it's huge):
http://www.raffaz.net/stuff/nx_aperture.png (4.4mb uncompressed PNG file)
I'm quite disappointed by some aspects of Aperture's RAW handling... or at least, by comparing it to Capture NX.
by looking at the picture, you can instantly see that NX raw photo is much sharper, and it is nearly perfect (apart from the not-perfect photo itself).
by looking at Aperture's shot, you can see that it's blurry, with moirè and noise-like problems..
the screenshots are 100% crops from the latest versions of the applications, using flat settings as you can see (just import, deselect everything the app will do), the camera is a Nikon D70, the lens is a 18-70 f3.5 and the file is a .NEF (nikon raw). settings for the photo are ISO200, f8, 1/15, 50mm on tripod.
I admit I'm very surprised by this difference. I'm using the trial of NX (just wanted to test it since it's brand new) and when I noticed all these differences I was shocked. I'm not saying that NX is better than Aperture, I think that Aperture is still unbeaten in a lot of fields, but could someone please explain me this huge difference in quality?
if needed, I can provide more screenshots with other photos

I dont like Capture NX one bit, its just as slow and sluggish as the previous version. The reason why pics often look better in Capture is becuase Nikon wrote it, after all the NEF format is theres.
To be honest Capture NX cannot be compared to Aperure there not in the same league, and you can pick up Aperture for the Same price as Capture NX on ebay brand new i would alwasy go for aperture far better value for money IMHO.

Aperture and Nikon D200 raw files

Can anyone tell me if they know when apple will release an update for Aperture to support Nikon D200 raw files.

Let Apple know by sending a polite note to

Powermac G5 Quad with ATI X1900 and Nikon D7000 1080p video.

Hi, My Quad G5 is having a hard time playing video from my DSLR, .h264 .MOV
I have 5gb ram and upgraded to Radeon ATI X1900.
Macbook air 11" can play them, my old macbook pro intel can play them, but not my g5? is this it?

Hi-
What software is being used for playback?

HT204655 Photos for Mac does not support semi professional camera Nikon D7000!

Since Nikon does not support USB storage mode, the (semi)professional line of Nikon cannot be used to import pictures!!
This is a serious flaw in the program. Aperture supports Nikon D7000, Image Capture supports the camera but the latest and greatest has forgotten all about supporting market leader's camera's?
The main and only reason NOT to use Photos... Or did I miss something here?

Sorry guys, forget all about it. I switch my camera off and on again (while it was connectoed to the Mac) and it appeared in Photos.
No idea what happened, but I can import my pictures.
Cheers,

Hd video from nikon d7000 in aperture 3 splutters

my hd videos from my nikon d7000 cannot be viewed properly im aperture 3.2.2 on my MBA 2011 (1,7 i5 with 4gb DDR3). they start stutter and do not replay fluently, even the sound is not synced.i have tried to repair and reinstall, it does not help.

Technically, you should only need to verify that you have at least the RAW Compatibility Update 3.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1357
Current version is 3.7 which can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1386
Note - I assume that the 3.7 would include 3.6, but am not sure.
If you already have the correct RAW support for OS X and are importing new images into a new or trial library, you might try running the 'Repair Database' option found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Good luck.

Has anyone successfully tethered a Nikon D7000 with Aperture 3.1?

Hi,
I have a new Nikon D7000 and tried to tether it to Aperture 3.1. Aperture recognizes it as a D7000, but I can't get an image to display. I'm outputting JPEG right now and can wait until RAW is available, but it would be convenient to tether so I can get immediate feedback on the image while I'm shooting.
Has anyone had success tethering the D7000 with Aperture 3 or is the software not there yet? I'm talking about having the image immediately downloaded to the iMac and automatically displayed after you take each photo, not downloading at the end of the day.
Thanks

UPdate - the key was opening a new project in Aperture 3. Once I did that, Aperture recognized the D7000 and I could shoot from the camera and have it displayed immediately on the iMac.
It works right out of the box. Yea!!!

Unsupported Image Format RAW (NEF) Nikon d7000 in Aperture 3, why?

I just bought a Nikon D7000. According to the Aperture 3 specs, it supports RAW (NEF) format from this camera. However, I get the message that the image format, which loads as thumbnails in the viewer, is not supported. I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 (I'm not going to upgrade from my current version if it actually does NOT support this format).
I'm running OS X 10.5.8 witn 2.4G Intel Core 2 Duo 4G DDR3 memory Macbook Pro.
What other info do I need to provide to diagnose this?

Nikon D7000 NEFs and focus point reference

With the update to process the Nikon D7000 nefs, Apple has introduced a new bug. Now, when you show the focus point overlay, Aperture shows 51 points and not the 39 of this camera.

Hi,
Not sure I see a question in there. If you feel there is a bug in Aperture you should contact Apple. You can do this through the feedback form *Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback*
As this is a user to user forum there isn't much anyone here can do for you regarding this issue.

Nikon D7000 .MOV files in Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5

I recently upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. Initially Nikon D7000 .MOV files used in previous CS5 Premiere Pro project would not play well in CS5.5. Now .MOV files do work in both PP and AE CS5.5. Here are the steps I followed. Not recommending you follow my steps exactly, just providing info for those that are interested.
1.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5 and open previous PP CS5 project, convert project to CS5.5 and rename project file as not to replace previous CS5 project file.
a.       At this point .MOV files do not play in new project or in AE CS5.5
b.      Close Premiere Pro and After Effect if still running.
2.       Using Adobe Bridge CS5.5, batch rename;
a.       Make copies of original files to new folder location while renaming file extension from .MOV to .mpg
b.      Let Adobe Bridge finish creating all new thumbnail previews.
c.       Leave Bridge running in background.
3.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5, let Premiere finish recreating thumbnail previews if needed.
a.       Attempt to preview existing .MOV file in project. It worked for me.
b.      Attempt to play sequence containing .MOV files. It worked for me.
c.       Attempt to play or modify sequence .MOV files in AE CS5.5 via Dynamic Link within Premiere. It worked for me.
d.      Close Premiere Pro project and AE projects if open.
4.       Create new Premiere Pro project and sequence
a.       Import a different Nikon D7000 .MOV file not previously used or renamed.
b.      Attempt to play this newly imported .MOV file. This worked for me as well.
c.       The new, previously un-renamed .MOV file also worked in AE CS5.5 for me.
I will perform additional tests but at the moment Nikon D7000 .MOV files are working for me in CS5.5 after initially performing a batch rename in Bridge CS5.5 from .MOV to .mpg and letting Bridge create preview files. Even .MOV files not renamed now work.
An example of Nikon D7000 footage edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, After Effects CS5.5, and Sound Booth CS5 can be seen on my blog, http://stevelandonsmyth.typepad.com/steve-landon-smyths-blog/2011/07/my-first-hd -video-shoot-with-nikon-d7000.html

Hello,
I see 2 post in this thread from Todd that say they are working on a fix and it should be out soon. One is from July, the other from August. It is now Sept 7th and I still see no patches or fixes for any bugs. I spent 400 dollars on an upgrade, but is this upgrade going to be supported?
This is making me rethink upgrading to the .5's in the future.
It is a minor bug to most, but in that sense it should be an easy quick fix. Am I wrong? Is this really a complicated issue?
I apologize if this comes off like a rant, but thats kinda what it is. It is not hard to batch rename files, but its a pain to have to relink all those files in PP.
