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.

  • 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?

  • "Canon SLR EOS 40D"  *Aperture and Canon's CR2 RAW files not supported.*

    Hi,
    I just started playing with Aperture, and with my brand new *Canon SLR EOS 40D* camera. One problem, Aperture is not recognizing the RAW file format. I am using RAW Fine**-L. Even with that it doesn't even see the JPG shots in Aperture. Went to the Canon site and it shows CR2 format. IPhoto 08 sees the JPG files just fine, It also sees the RAW files just doesn't know what to do with them. I know that RAW files are not supported on IPhoto 08. The camera is only been out a few months, but still lost on why Aperture doesn't support the format. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance....

    For some reason or another Adobe Photo Shop 7 is no longer supported in Leopard. When you lunch Photo shop 7 in Leopard. You get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a Program error. Photo Shop will now exit." even if you reinstall the program, still you get the same error. Photo Shop 7 is Not the latest and greatest, but in most cases, that is all you need. Not sure if they plan on a fix, so for now I put that program on a shelve.
    Hope that helps

  • Aperture 2+D5100+.NEF(RAW)/JPG=Unsupported Image Format

    First off, I am new to all this...
    But anyway....Last night, for the first time, I imported images directly from my Nikon D5100 memory card onto Aperture 2.  (Yes, I know there is an Aperture 3.  I am just trying this one until it is something I decide I want to put the money in to...then I will get Aperture 3.)   It appeared as though everything was going well because I could see the thumbnails/ previews along the bottom in my browser.  So, I went ahead and deleted the images from my memory card.  Then, when I clicked on an image to edit it in the viewer, I got a red screen with white writing that says "Unsupported Image Format."  Boo!  Is there ANYTHING I can do to recover my images?  And secondly, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again? 
    A few suggestions from looking around online that I have tried:
    ***Opening Aperture while holding down Opt+Command and then selecting: "Rebuild Now" and also the "Consistency Check" buttons.
    ***Opening: Finder- Library- Preferences- and then deleting com.apple.aperture.plist
    The only change from doing all that is  now my thumbnails don't appear- instead it just appears as though they are loading...
    Again, working with Aperture 2, camera is a Nikon D5100, image format is both RAW (.NEF) /JPEG, (only the RAW file is showing up) and "Unsupported Image Format" message appears when I click on image and try to edit in the viewer.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

  • DNG (created from EOS 350D) sometimes unsupported image format...

    I've imported some DNG files created from EOS 350D .CR2 files (Compressed, preserve RAW image, JPG preview full size) and I keep getting unsuported image format. Now .DNG files without fill size jpeg preview do show well (these where also created with DNG Converter 3.1).
    This jpg preview size shouldn't matter I hoped. I switched to a .dng based workflow since August, all my latest photo's can't be handled with Aperture....

    Thanks for the info!
    I hadn't checked out the specific 350D support, since I though (hoped) that once using .dng (without the embedded original .cr2 file), it was a pure .dng thingy, in that sence that it doesn't even have anything remotely to do with the original .cr2 raw file anymore, since that's just the reason why I use .dng.... I guess the .dng implementation in 10.4.3 is not done completely as it should then.
    Anway, I'm thriled I can use the compare, select, loupe (simple but well implemented!) in Aperture, which rocks. (There are some gems in Aperture for sure, next to th numerous odities.
    Thanks again!

  • Aperture 3 in Lion 10.7.4 - unsupported image format...?

    Migrated Aperture 3 from Macbook to new imac last month.  Now getting error messages when I try to edit photographs.  Software updates up to date. It is affecting photpgraphs taken with Lumix GF1 - not all of them only some.... any suggestions as to what I can do would be gratefully received!

    Ian,
    Migration Assistant will handle that for you. I would recommend Googling
    Pondini Migration Assistant, in there he will show you how to migrate your settings, data and apps to your new machine. Migration Assistant will not let you choose what data to migrate so if you choose data, it will migrate all the old data. The same with apps and settings.

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

  • Canon G7x and unsupported image format icon with RAW files.

    When RAW files downloaded from Canon G7x get "Unsupported Image Format" message. Using iMac with 10.9.5  and Aperture 3.5.1.  This is a new camera and is not on the supported list.  Is there a way around this?  Now that Aperture is static will new cameras continue to be added to supported list?

    The only way 'around' it is to upgrade to the required Aperture and/or OS version.  So you will need to wait for that to happen. In the meantime you could shoot Raw+JPG, use the JPGs now and when (and if) the camera is supported (or you move to a different program) you will have the Raw files.
    As for camera updates in Aperture, no one here can say what Apple intends, we;re just users here like yourself and even discussing this is technically against the TOU of these forums.
    But I think it is safe to assume, as Apple will continue to support Raw processing and that the Raw processing is done at the OS level and they have said they will support Aperture at least through Yosemite's life cycle that any new Raw format added to OS X will reusable by Aperture. But that's only a guess.

  • 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

  • Unsupported Image Format?  CR2 from Canon 20d

    ok, so my jpg's import fine. my problem is with my CR2 Raw pictures from my Canon 20d. I tried to import some. They import, all the metadata info is there, but there is no thumbnail in aperture and in the top viewer it says unsupported image format. Has anyone had this problem? After import why are the CR2 thumbnails missing and why do the viewers say Unsupported Image Format? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Since I can't open the problem RAW files in Preview or import them into iPhoto, but can open them in ACR/Bridge or DPP, I'm fairly certain this has something to do with the underlying RAW support at the OS-level in Tiger -- and not just an Aperture issue.
    I have had no problem with some older RAW files captured using my 20D. I think I may have upgraded the 20D's firmware since those images were shot -- could it be an incompatibility brought on by that?!?!

  • "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture after editing in Photoshop?

    I've had random intermittent problems with some files that I store in Aperture (I'm on 3.4.3) and then edit in Photoshop.  I shoot only in RAW format on a Nikon D300 (.NEF files), and the images import fine.  Some of the images I edit in Photoshop CS6.  Upon saving the image in CS6 and returning to Aperture, I get a black preview image with a silver warning triangle, and it says "Unsupported Image Format".  The info tab shows me that the image is a .tiff file as I expect - and what's odd is when I re-import these images from the folder they're stored in, they display fine as expected.
    What gives?

    All good questions, thank you for asking.
    - Aperture is set up to export to 8-bit TIFF files.
    - Photoshop is set as my external editor.
    - To edit an image, when I'm in Aperture I right click on the image and select "Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS6"
    - I don't use Layers in Photoshop, so when the image is returned to Aperture there's only the background layer.
    - The images are saved in PS using "Save", not "Save As".
    - I verified that the file names are .tiff rather than .tif
    That is exactly what I am doing, when editing my Canon Raws in PS-CS6, and there is no problem with unsupported image formats. that should work!
    and what's odd is when I re-import these images from the folder they're stored in, they display fine as expected.
    Where is this folder? Are the images referenced? And if referenced, are they on an external drive? How is the drive connected and formatted?

  • HT3946 Unsupported image format

    I've been getting a message "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of APPLE RAW processing" unsupported image format and it's been doing this to photos I took today and my older one's any advice on how to fix this?

    What is the make of your camera? This problem has occured recently mostly for Lumix and Nikon cameras:
    First try, if reprocessing the images will help:
    See this section of the user manual on how to do this for selected images:
    Reprocessing Images from Previous Versions of Aperture
    If this does not help, you may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman:, Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work

  • "Unsupported Image Format" malloc error BUG

    I've been having this issue for weeks now; not sure what triggered it, but lately, it happens after editing somewhere between 20 - 50 photos. It happens with files from my Nikon D1, Nikon D70, and Nikon D300. It happens to both RAW files and JPEGS.
    The issue is, while going through a project, performing edits to the photos and then moving to the next one, after doing a set of photos, eventually, Aperture will give me the dreaded burgondy "Unsupported Image Format" in the main viewing window. That error will pop up for every photo, until I fix it, by quitting Aperture and restarting it; once I do that, the problem goes away, until it pops up again in another 20 - 50 photo edits.
    When the error does occur, something similar to what is below gets written to /var/log/system.log. This is most definately a bug in Aperture. Obviously not everyone is running into it, but Google tells me that enough people are hitting it, so there is obviously some combination of software and hardware configurations that causes this bug to trigger. There is a memory allocation bug in Aperture. The below messages make that statement indisputable. Apple, please fix this!

    Make sure you use Aperture's "send feedback" to report this bug. Apple doesn't necessarily read these forums on a regular basis (see the TOS); they are user-to-user forums.
