Aperture 3.1.1 Support for RW2 Panasonic Lumix FZ-40 RAW format

1. I shot in BOTH JPG+RAW setting. Then imported in Aperture 3.1.1 with setting of BOTH RAW+JPG with RAW as MASTER. Import Completed.
When I look for the photos, some have come in as JPG (I believe that at least some of these may have been taken as JPG only). However, most are showing as "UNSUPPORTED FORMAT".
Software is up to date. RAW Comp Update 3.6 applied before I started. Mac OSX 10.6.6 on MBP 17" Intel Core 2. Maxed RAM.
I purchased Aperture specifically for RAW support, RAW conversion and image touchup.
Really disappointed that Apple does not appear to support RW2.
Is there a plugin that will help?
I do not want complicated workflows like import in another app, then convert rW2 to something aperture will accept and then reimport the converted file into aperture as i have very limited time.

That table lists FZ50 and FZ 100 but not FZ28 or FZ40. I do not know why Panasonic would have changed the file formats which all carry extension .RW2.
I do have Aperture 3.1.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.6. So that is not an issue.
The FZ100 uses a CMOS sensor that produces a very noisy image. So I stuck with FZ40 which uses an upgraded CCD from the FZ28 line.
Using DNG means an additional step.
I certainly hope that Apple supports the .RW2 format properly so that all the cameras using that are supported.

  • Oh no- new update and still no support for my panasonic lumix dmc-lx2-

    sorry, but i was writing several support-mails and hoped so much, that this new camera could be supported. no way.
    how can it be, that the »Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1« is supported, but the dmc-lx2 not? are the raws different?
    i don't get it…

    Read the slightly newer topic by Pat Gilmour "Lumix DMC-LX1 RAW......" and you can see it is feasible, if not convenient. Note that for the LX2 you have to follow the instructions for the LX1 but write LX2 instead. It works a beauty for me

  • Iphoto and panasonic lumix dmc-fz28 raw (.rw2) files support

    It appears that iphoto or max osx does not currently support the panasonic lumix dmc-fz28's raw format (.rw2). Is this true? If so, does anyone know when support will be available? If it is supported today, how do you make it work?

    Since even the most recent updates to iPhoto do not contain DMC-FZ28 importers for RAW, I use the free and EXCELLENT +RAW Photo Processor+ ( http://www.raw-photo-processor.com ).
    For a donation (I gave $10) it will add the feature to open the converted image into the program of your choice. Of course I use iPhoto, which it automatically launches and then imports the image to it's database. Since it also has both batch capability and the ability to pick the image next to the last RAW image in the directory of your previous photo, it's great for importing large numbers of RAW images into iPhoto.
    And the control it gives over your import is incredible, certainly on par with Adobe RAW.
    I actually found the settings I like best and saved them as a profile for my camera (it works automatically for all Lumix cameras, but you can tweak them quite finely).
    Another nice thing about this little app is it is both multicore and multiprocessor savvy. Since it allows you to pick apps to open the imported images in, there's no limit to the the programs you can chose to add to your drop-down list.
    It solved the problem for me!

  • Yosemite/Aperture 3.6 No Support for Nikon D810/ Raw-S Files ?

    I am thoroughly confused.  I only recently began "drinking the Apple Kool-Aid" and am quite disturbed to learn (after upgrading to Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) that Nikon d810 Raw-S files are NOT supported....
    What gives ?  I mean you pay premium dollars for what is allegedly a premium product (MacBook Pro - Retina latest edition) you have the latest/ greatest software (Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) and the latest/greatest camera (Nikon D810) and one of the file formats is simply "Not supported ?"  Seriously ?? 
    I have had more compatibility issues with Apple and its software since being convinced by all the marketing hype to "drink the Kool-Aid" than I ever had with my ancient Dell XP PC laptop.... 
    Getting back to the point.  Why no Raw-S Support for Nikon d810 ? 
    Will there be support for the Nikon d-810 Raw-S files at some point ? If so, when ? 
    If not, WHY ? 
    What should I do with the 400 photos I took of a high school hockey game in Raw-S format given I am now drinking only the "Apple Kool-Aid?"
    Signed....

    Apple can't release it until Nikon supplies them with the required information.
    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • When will there be support for the panasonic gh-4

    wondering when the new gh-4 will be supported?

    Adobe adds support for new cameras as soon as possible after they are released. Hopefully, support will be in the next update. But only those who are working on the support know, and you will find out as quickly as anyone else here will find out. Since Lightroom 5.4 is a relatively new update, it could be 2-3 months before we see another update, if there is one. It might be time for an upgrade. But again, nobody here knows the answer.

  • PANASONIC LUMIX FZ-18 RAW Files

    Hello, I would like to know why I can't open FZ18 RAW format in Apple Aperture 2.1.
    I recently update my system including Digital Camera RAW Compatibily to 2.0.
    And I still have this problem.
    I need a Plug-in?
    Thanks

    Here are Aperture's supported cameras:

    I don't see that specific Panasonic camera listed. Is it the same as one of those? If not, you're out of luck -- submit feedback.

  • HT203088 Will Aperture get new camera support for RAW files in the future?

    need answers

    RAW support is part of the OS for Apple;  it is not part of Aperture.
    Apple has stated that they will continue to support Aperture _on Yosemite_ but not on any future OS's.
    Therefore it appears _reasonable_ to conclude that all RAW support updates for Yosemite will work with Aperture.
    Apple provides no guarantee (or has, afaik, any contractual obligation) to stick to the above.
    Apple makes no statements regarding updates to the RAW compatibility.

    Seems to be a widespread human condition.

  • No Lightroom 5 support for Olympus OM-D E-M10 RAW files

    Hi,
    Currently, I don't believe Lightroom 5 supports RAW files from Olympus' new camera, the OM-D E-M10.
    I know it supports JPEG files.
    Any idea when this support will be available and how?
    Thanks!

    Preliminary support was included in the recently announced ACR 8.4 Release Candidate. Normally, the equivalent Lightroom version (5.4 RC) would be released at the same time, though not this time for some unknown (to us users) reason. However, you could perhaps optimistically expect either LR 5.4 RC or indeed LR 5.4 final release to be available within the next month, and that should include the support you are looking for.
    Additionally, the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4 RC is also now available, so you could use it to convert the Raw files to DNG for processing in whatever version of Lightroom you are using.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 RAW

    Anyone know the right hack to the raw.plist file, and how to apply it properly in order to get FZ50's RAW files to work with Aperture?
    I've tried what I found for the LX1 and what I've learned of making other cameras work. But, the closest I've come is to get my pictures to open and look HORRIBLY distorted.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It doesn't matter where, but I'd recommend putting it near the entry you're using. So, for example:
    <key>Panasonic-DMC-FZ50</key> <string>Panasonic-DMC-LC1</string> <!-- map DMC-FZ50 to DMC-LC1 -->
    Put that right above the DMC-LC1, for example (just like the Leica Digilux 2 entry is). The format of the key entry is "Camera Make"-"Camera Model" from the EXIF.
    Also note the color adjustment info won't match up exactly for your camera, so you might want to try the different supported Panasonic models to see what looks best (before the 10.4.9 update the LC1 was the only model supported).
    And finally, make sure and backup your Raw.plist in case something goes horribly wrong.

  • Panasonic Lumix LX3, shooting RAW with Film Modes

    I've been shooting RAW+JPEG and testing Film Modes (for example B&W) and noticed that RAW images will import "tabula rasa" without any of the Film Mode settings applied. JPEGs are naturally as supposed.
    I'm wondering if this is how it's supposed to work, as the RAW's first show a thumbail with Film Mode's settings, for example b&w first shows as b&w, but eventually Aperture processes a new thumbnail with standard raw settings. (I don't have previews on).
    I know raw is raw and you can't shoot it b&w, but I can't help thinking if there are some in-camera RAW settings that Aperture just doesn't know how to read and pre-apply when it's imported.
    The in-camera b&w settings would be nice starting point for further raw-editing in Aperture, but now one has to start from scratch.
    Anyone know if this is how it works, maybe with other cameras too?

    That's propably it. Only, I've read some reviews of LX3 that claim you can also shoot Film Modes in RAW. For example Mark Goldstein at photographyblog.com says:
    "This [=film mode] applies to both JPEG and RAW files, so you can effectively shoot a black and white RAW file, for example, out of the camera if you wish (although I'm not sure why you'd want to...). "
    This makes no sense to me as I believe you can only get one kind of RAW from a sensor, but it makes me wonder if there still should be a way to have some kind of B&W RAW straight from the camera and Aperture just doesn't know how to interpret it.
    I also agree with Goldstein that I wouldn't want it to shoot b&w destructively, but rather as a non-destructive "layer".
    Also the LX3 manual doesn't say a word that you couldn't use Film Modes when shooting RAW, and it's quite good at telling what is not applicable for certain modes.

  • Aperture update 2.1.3 still no RAW support for Lumix G1

    Once again and after posting to Apple development we still have no RAW support for the Panasonic Lumix G1. How much longer Apple...!

    RAW support updates are separate from Aperture updates..
    Maybe with 10.5.7... or another RAW compatibility update sometime.. hopefuly soon.

  • Aperture lack of DNG support unfortunate

    It's difficult to understand why Aperture does not offer support for Adobe DNG files. 
    DNG/RAW files are being used by some camera manufacturers that I work with, and they contain a wealth of metadata as well as the broadest range of image data, including "altitude", which is now very useful in my professional work.
    This lack of support has forced me to go back to Lightroom, and to reconsider that application as my primary media catalogue and editing application.

    A JPEG saved as a DNG isn't really a DNG file.
    It is true that Aperture doesn't have "comprehensive" DNG support. It doesn't support linear DNGs, and it doesn't support some of the newest DNG extensions that Adobe has added (lossy compressed DNGs, etc.). I don't know the exact version of the spec that Aperture supports.
    But do note that DNG is a lot of things. It's a fairly comprehensive spec that has many versions, with lots of different things. Aperture does support many DNG properties, but not all of them. If you want the latest, greatest, most comprehensive DNG support, then Adobe will have it, as it's their specification.
    I personally just use the RAW files that come out of camera - whether they be NEF, CRW, CR2, or DNG. I _never_ convert my camera RAW files into DNG, because that actually strips some data (in my case, focus point informatin from CR2 files that Aperture can display, is removed from the converstion to DNG). There are many long-winded discussions on the "value" that DNG provides, and I don't subscribe to them. It provides no legay-proofness today that's unavailable other places.

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • Support for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8

    Is Apple planning to support RAW for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 in Aperture? Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom provide support for this camera.
    Any ideas?

    Adobe releases regular update with new camera support. One ought to be along before too long.
