Aperture 3.1.3 and Olympus E-PL2 RAW files

Hi all;
I'm using Aperture 3.1.3 on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz, 8 gig RAM. OS is OS X 10.7
My new Olympus E-PL2 RAW files  (.ORF) do not seem to be compatible, despite Apple indicating that they are supported. The corresponding DNG files produce the same error message.  Whenever I try to export or use a plug-in, I get the following message:
Editing Error
This image cannot be renedered for editing
because Aperture does not support the image format.
Does anyone have any recommendations for fixing this issue?
Thanks!!
Tim

Hi Tim,
I'm running a similar configuration (hardware and camera) and I'm able to edit RAW in Aperture/Lion. Do you have all other s/w maintainance applied?
Only problem I've seen since Lion is problems with images not on the MBP, in particular my NAS library is no inaccessible.

  • Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Olympus EM-1 RAW files?

    There have been reports on DPREVIEW of color problems using Lightroom 5.2 with RAW files from the Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera.  This causes  difficulty creating camera profiles, and creates a red shift in Images.  JPG images are unaffected.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    When may we look forward to LR 5.3, hopefully with a fix?
    Thanks............... Jack Winberg

    The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
    I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

  • Aperture 1.1 and Olympus E-500 RAW files

    Hi there.
    My problem:
    RAW data from my Olympus E-500 isn´t supported by Aperture 1.1
    After importing RAW files there´s no image data and the preview displays "unsupported image format"
    I wonder why, since that camera is listed in the compatibility list under http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
    Even if it is not listed in the compatibility list of apertures supported RAW filetypes, in my understanding aperture should deal with those files if the OS supports the camera. But this understanding seems to be wrong..
    I know that RAW files can be quite different in structure, so files generated by the E-1 seem not to be the same as RAW files generated by the E-500.. even if they have the same files extension. But I wonder that even the E300 is supported but not the E500.
    Does anybody knows if there is a workaround for this or if there is a chance to use Aperture with these files in the near future?
    Thanks for any information.

    I know that RAW files can be quite different in
    structure, so files generated by the E-1 seem not to
    be the same as RAW files generated by the E-500..

    E500.
    You are indeed correct that the .ORF raw files generated by the E-1 and the E-300 are different from those generated by the E-500. Olympus must take the responsibility for this. I will assume that they had some good reason for changing the file structure between camera models, but I don't know what it is and have difficulty imagining what it could be. When the E-500 was released, there was considerable discussion about this on several forums (notably the Olympus SLR forum at dpreview.com) as there were several other software programs (sorry, can't remember which specific ones) that also had been working well with .ORF files from the E-1 and E-300, but did not support E-500 .ORF files.
    Why Apple has not added support for the E-500 raw files is another good question, and I hope you've posted your request as feedback for the Aperture team. I am using Aperture and an E-1, and have been enjoying the combination ever since Aperture 1.0 was released. The raw conversions for the E-1 have definitely improved since 1.1 was released, so Apple knows something about .ORF files. I hope that you will also get to experience that (soon) when support for the E-500 files is added. I'm not aware of any workaround at this time, but will post here again should I come across one.
    Let's hope that Apple has not simply assumed that all .ORF files are equal, and has not noticed that you have a problem.

  • Aperture Olympus E-PL2 Raw Color Distortion and other issues

    Hello there, Olympus Micro Four Thirds Fans!
    So finally, Apple introduced Olympus E-PL2 Raw Support in Aperture 3. After some testing and troubleshooting there are still some issues remaining that sort of still leave the Raw option unusable for me:
    The Apple Raw developer does not seam to read Olympus gradation curve settings properly. I usually leave the cameras color mode to "natural" which in JPEG gives the Olympus-typical beautiful documentary-style color accuracy. However, in Raw, colors get distorted in the most unpleasant way! Especially the greens get horribly oversaturated.
    Noise reduction settings also are not correctly translated. I'm the type of Raw user who always wants to start from the camera settings chosen and who then wants to be able to tweak settings to perfection just a little bit. But all in all I chose an Olympus camera, because it does deliver superb white balance metering, decent noise reduction and beautiful color gradation right out-of-the-box.
    SPEED! Aperture seems to be horribly horribly slow with Olympus .orf files. Lightroom is easily ten times faster in real-time developing of Raw files.
    Did someone observe the same behaviour? How do you work around these issues, what is the best setup for the apple raw developer?
    Greetings from Esslingen am Neckar!

    Hi there!
    I am now developing my raw files with Olympus Viewer. It is the only software solution that would deliver results close or identical to Olymus built in JPEG engine. Most of the time I need to get color reproduction that is as subtle and fine as the Olympus engine, but I do want to benefit from all the other postprocessing advantages that RAW has to offer.
    Within Aperture I have not been able to get comparable color rendering.

  • Heavily Jagged Curves/Diagonals on Olympus EP-L1 RAW Files and possibly the whole PEN Family

    Hello everybody
    I have a serious situation here. My Olympus EP-L1 raw files have serious jagged diagonals. It's only visible on sharp curved surfaces. I ran some test on straight sharp diagonals from 45º to 0º but found no artifacts. Here is a comparison between in-camera jpeg and .ORF converted to DNG in Lightroom 3.3, ACR 6.3. BTW, this is visible on .ORF files as well as DNG. I took these photos with RAW+JPEG at full resolution, highest quality.

  • Olympus E-PM1 raw files

    Does anyone know how I can edit Olympus E-PM1 raw files in Photoshop elements?....is there a plugin or something?

    Can you look at what version of Camera Raw you have. Launch the Editor and click the menu:
    Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
    You should see a version number on a pop-up (press Esc to close) and it needs to be version 6.5 or later.

  • How can I display and use the full RAW file?

    Hi,
    my camera (Canon S95) has a sensor with 4:3 aspect ratio and thus saves all RAW files in this format. Additionally, the camera can automatically create JPGs with a cropped ratio (e.g. 3:2 or 16:9). This is very helpful because you can see the target format already on the camera screen (with black bars on top and bottom), which helps the composition. However, when processing the photos on the big screen afterwards, it often also helps the photo to adjust the ratio a little bit and therefore use the additional information saved in the bigger 4:3 RAW file. This works very well with many of the freely available software tools.
    The problem found in Lightroom is now that it only shows the RAW photo in the cropped format and up to know I have found no way to display or use the full RAW format. So my question is: Which settings do I have to change to use the full format? What do I need to change?
    Searching a little bit on the web I found many other photographes having the exactly same problem with many different cameras. However none of them reported to have a solution for this. Still I am pretty sure that there must be a solution, since otherwise this would be a really heavy bug within Lightroom and I cannot imagine that Adobe would leave this matter unsolved.
    So I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
    Many Thanks
    Martin

    Hi Jao, Victoria, Lee Jay,
    Thanks for clearification. Do you have additional information about when this fix will be available and whether at least some popular old cameras will be supported?
    What I do not get is why Adobe would need to redo all existing cameras. I think this is a more general issue, where Lightroom misinterpretes the exif data which includes both the exif image height/width as well as the cropped image height/width. Intepreting this information correctly, any software should be able to display both - the full image and the cropped area (as shown by many cheap or free software tools). In the internet I found another workaround for the issue in Lightroom, which is undermining this point: When setting the cropped image height/width to the numbers of exif image height/width manually (e.g. with exif tools), Lightroom actually is able to display the full 4:3 picture.
    So this bug should be easily fixed for all cameras and I have no clue why Adobe still has no fixed it with Lightroom already available in version 4.2.
    Cheers
    Martin

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

  • I recently purchased Elements 13 for Mac-OS and cannot download N-OS and cannot download NEF-RAW files taken on my Nikon D5500. The model is not listed among those supported by Elements, but the D5300 is, which is nearly identical. Is there any quick fix?

    What is N-OS?
    For the camera raw problem, every new camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include it. That hasn't happened yet for the D5500, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software till Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It's not unusual to be in your situation if you buy a camera model that's only been out a month. You just have to wait a bit.

  • Olympus E-P1, RAW files, barrel distortion and Snow Leopard

    I currently use Aperture 2.0, a MacbookPro, and a new Oly E-P1.  I have just returned from a trip to Spain with over 1000 RAW files.  Aperture won't recognize them.  Tricking Aperture into accepting them as E-30 RAWs leaves in huge barrel distortion issues. Always silent Apple won't even say if they're working on recognizing them in an upcoming release.  The native OLY RAW converters mostly correct the barrel distortion with funny math in their extremely lame Olympus Master 2 that came with the camera.  Raw Photo Processor (which I was counting on to save me) which will recognize the files, also leaves in barrel distortion.
    I understand that the latest Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 will read Oly E-P1 RAW files.  I see no way to use Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 without upgrading my current Photoshop from CS to CS4 and purchasing Lightroom.  Total cost, about $400.  I might be willing (as an amateur) to do this, as I probably need to upgrade to CS4 anyway, BUT, I understand through a little digging on the web, that I will probably have to downgrade my OS from OS X v. 10.6 (Snow Leopard) apprently not supported by Adobe yet.  Both of these will be a major commitment of time and money.
    I would like to make sure that the Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 does indeed correct the barrel distortion first.  Anybody out there using it?  Also, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    If you want to try, just download the LR 2.5 demo version from the Adobe Website. You don't need to upgrade Photoshop. Lightroom will work just fine by itself, even when using CS as the external editor as it contains the full ACR raw rendering kernel and you can just have Lightroom render tifs to be sent to PS. Also, Lightroom and CS4 work perfectly fine on 10.6. Lightroom should be run in 32-bit mode for the time being if you need the tight Photoshop integration, but that is about it. I don't know where you got the info that you would need to downgrade. That is simply false.

  • Olympus E30 camera raw files and OS X Leopard

    Hi
    I recently bought an Olympus E30. I've noticed that OS X (I'm using 10.5.7) can't display a preview of the .ORF file in the Finder.
    Apple recently issued a Raw Compatibility Update for Aperture and iPhoto that included the E30. I don't use either, but thought that would also apply to OS X.
    Software update installed a "iLife Support" update on my Mac on 5 June that I thought was the Raw Compatibility Update. So I don't understand why I can't display raw file previews.
    Any ideas?

    Solved the problem. Thanks for reading.

  • Mac, Photoshop Elements 4.3.1 and Olympus E-3 RAW support

    I am running MAC OS 10.3.9 on my computer. I have updated Photoshop Elements to version 4.01 and installed Camera Raw version 4.3.1 as per Adobe installation guide (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats). I have also purged the cache via Adobe Bridge. Am still unable to open olympus raw files. All I have is a generic type of icon where my E-1 and E-3 raw files are located. Any help to solve my problem will be much appreciated.
    Mike

    That is to be expected. ACR uses a different methodology from other converters to produce its profiles.
    This is the process if you are interested: http://inside-lightroom.com/profiling.php
    For Calibration you might want to look at the Fors Script http://fors.net/chromoholics/index.php or the Rags Script http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/AcrCalibration/ and also the original article by Bruce Fraser.
    For colour profiles you might like to try Huelight as well http://www.huelight.com

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.
