Aperture 3(.2.1): overexposure on RAW files from EOS450D

Hi all,
I'm trying to come to terms with the way Apertue 3 imports my RAW files (Canon EOS 450D/Digital Rebel XSi), in terms of exposure... Basically they seem to be overexposed by at least 2/3 of a stop on average, and possibly more.
In the release notes for Aperture 3.something I've found a note specific to my camera, stating "exposure lightened by 0.25", or something to that effect; alas what I find in everyday use seems to be much worse.
I've created an alternate profile for my camera RAWs in "RAW Fine Tuning", copied and modified from the stock Apple one, but it seems not to better the situation.
Is there an easy way for automatically managing exposure when importing, so that pictures don't get overblown by default?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. Your camera should be supported by update 3.13: The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
Canon EOS-1D X
Nikon D800E
Nikon D3200
Olympus OM-D E-M5
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5
Sony Alpha SLT-A57
Download the latest from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library

Can I make Aperture 3.4.5 read the RAW files from a Lumix GX7?

I had an LX7 - RAW support no problem. Just got my lovely GX7 and native Aperture RAW support for this camera doesn't exist. I can't upgrade from OS 10.7.5 or Aperture 3.4.5 as I'm on a 2007 MacPro. Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7? I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...

The Tech Specs for the Raw support are contradictory:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
says Aperture 3.4 or later required for your camera, but the Compatibility Update 5.01 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1706) says Mac OS X 10.8.5 or later.
Have you tried to download and install the update?
Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7?
I don't think that is possible, since Aperture will convert images to tiff or psd, when sending them to plug-ins and external editors. And that requires, that Aperture can process the raw.
I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...
I am using Adobe's dng converter for my unsupported Lumix raws. But I cannot check, if it will process your GX7 files.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Why does Aperture 3,not process RAW files from Leica D-Lux 5 ?

Hello:
The purchase of my Leica D-Lux 5 came with LR 3. All raw files can be processed in that Application.However.I also have Aperture 3 and it will not process RAW files from the D-Lux 5.I hope that Apple soon will address this inconvenience.Has anyone els had the same problem?
Hoping for a solution;Thanks John Basso. Mac OS X 10.6.7

I can tell you that it does process them from Panasonic LX5's - I have one. The files are probably very similar with slightly different processing metadata and a different tag. It is possible to change the tag in the RAW file prior to import that "fools" aperture into thinking that the RAW is the same as a camera that is supported. I have done this with other cameras where the RAW files were really the same but the camera was not yet "officially supported" at the time I bought it.
I kinda remember doing it to the EP-2 or was it the EPL-1? Don't remember but there are plenty of tools that will allow this - google is your friend.
Just make sure that your install of Ap3/OS X DOES actually have support for the LX5... Might work but I have not tried it.

Aperture does not support raw files from my Leica d-lux 6.

When will Aperture support RAW files from a Leica d-lux 6?

You can download a free copy of Adobe DNG Converter. You then can use this program to convert the D Lux RAW files into DNG RAW files. Aperture will be able to read the DNG files. This is a bit of pain but it will work until Apple supports the D Lux in its usual glacial time span.

Viewing Raw files from Canon G15 in Aperture

I cannot view my raw files from my new Canon G15 on my IMAC using aperture 3.1.3

What system version are you running? You need 10.8.3 at a minimum for the G 15 RAW format.

Most recent RAW update, New Aperture and Maverick but still Aperture cannot view RAW files from my Sony RX-100 camera.

I have all the most recent Software updates and a brand new version of Aperture but when I connect my Sony RX-100 to my MBP, Aperture cannot view or import the RAW files. It will import JPEG format. I am new to Aperture and would appreciate some advice here. Do I need an old RAW format update or is there something else I need to do here.
Thanks for any help.

Keith, the latest raw support claims to have fixed issues with the RX-100 raw support:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.03This update adds RAW image compatibility for additional cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11. Jan 16, 2014
This update adds RAW image compatibility for the following camera to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11:
Canon EOS M2
It also includes fixes that:
Resolve an issue that prevented lens correction from working properly with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 images
Address a color cast issue on some Olympus OM-D E-M1 images
The RX-100 has been supported since earlier, but the previous raw support has introduced a bug.
itunesisbullshitplopcrapshould update the raw support.
This requires Aperture 3.5. and Mavericks.
Correction: This requires
System Requirements
OS X 10.8.5 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 9.4.5
OS X 10.9 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 9.4.5

Aperture wont open raw files from my panasonic fz18

Hi Everyone, I have been using aperture 3 for about a year and have no problems opening raw files from my nikon camera but I thought I would use my old panasonic FZ18 when I go kayaking just in case the camera gets wet. To my surprise when I downloaded my raw files into Aperture from my FZ18 they would not open. Is there a codec or program update that will enable Aperture to open my raw files.
Thanks Colin

The FZ18, FZ35 and later are not supported by Apple RAW processing mostly due to the exotic barrel distortion correction that needs to be applied for wide angle shots. Even Adobe DNG converter will not convert the .RW2 files to DNG unless you use dngsanitize to remove the lens correction metadata. You can then bring the DNG files into Aperture.

Aperture NOT SUPPORT Fujifilm X-E2 RAW FILES

Can Anyone inform to aperture to please fix Raw Processing of Fujifilm Cameras in Aperture 3.2.1 in todays world when things are changing so fast still aperture is very behind which not support Raw Files from Fujifilm Cameras...

Aperture is supporting quite a few Fuji cameras, see: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Fujifilm
FinePix S2 Pro
FinePix S3 Pro
FinePix S5 Pro
FinePix X100**
X-Pro1***
X-A1***
X-E1***
X-M1***
X20***
X100S***
Only for the newer cameras the raw support has been released as part of the newer operating systems. You need Aperture 3.4 or later to be able to use the raw support for the X-series cameras.
Since you are running OS X 10.9.2, you could update to Aperture 3.5.1 and use the raw support for the Fuji X-E1. I expect, that any raw support for the successor Fuji X-E2 will also be released for the current Aperture version and not the older Aperture 3.2.1.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

Hi all,
the problem still exists..
Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
Others do..
I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
- e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
(too much effort, too?)

Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

Only Apple knows. The never announce upcoming RAW support in advance, sorry. And if anybody knew, it would not be allowed to post this information here.

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

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.

Can anyone offer info on why/how to upload raw files from Nikon D610 to latest version of aperture?

I just upgraded to the latest operating system AND Aperture software program so I could import raw files from the Nikon D610, but the files are still being imported as unsupported image format. Is there a setting that I need to set to get this to work? I can't believe I spent all day upgrading the operating system and then my old version of Aperture, only to find out it still won't support the raw files from my new camera. Anyone else having this problem?
