Aperture 3 compatibility with RW2 files

I am considering buying Aperture 3, and am trying to establish if it supports my Lumix G1 camera, I am wanting to dabble with RAW files and therefore need to understand if I can drop them straight in without using another piece of software to convert them.
Any help would be appreciated

Simon,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture forum.
The information you need is in the technical specs of Aperture.
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Looks like Lumix DMC-G1 is supported, if that's the same camera you're looking for.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
thx for any replies
niki001

Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
I made a small step by step report of my findings:
1. Attach camera to imac
2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
9. Shut down iPhoto.
10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
So, any idea's???
thx

Aperture Compatibility with G4 MDD

For information, Apple has posted an "Aperture Compatibility Checker" application download on the Aperture web pages (under Tech Specs then bottom left corner). It takes a few tries to get this to download. I ran the application and it came back and said my dual 1 ghz MDD upgraded with an ATI 9800 graphics board was NOT compatible. Minimum capability was 1.25 G4. This is a disappointment of course, but saved me $500. I do have a 1.25 G4 Powerbook, though I don't want to use up all my hard drive space with RAW image files.

I posted a question elsewhere about this topic as well. I just upgraded my graphics card to an ATI 9800 Pro precisely so I could run Aperture. Since the system requirement indicate you can run Aperture on a G4 Powerbook with a 1.25 gig processor I figured I'd be fine with a dual 1.25 Power Mac configuration. But, I ran Aperture Checker and it said I could not install the program. This makes so little practical sense I am scratching my head in bewilderment. I'm assuming Aperture will not install at all on my system. So, unless I hear otherwise, I am going to cancel my order. What a drag.

Photoshop CS6 files are compatable with CC files

My college is using photoshop CS6 and I have installed photoshop CC. I was told that files are not compatable between the two.

Standard Photoshop PSD files can be backwards compatible (with the caveats mentioned) – here is a test of saving back from CC to CS6 & CS5:

There are also some practices you can use to increase compatibility between versions, not just for Photoshop but for all the Adobe CC apps.

Aperture compatibility with Fuji S9600

Hi all, I have a FujiFilm S9600. Try as I might I cannot get Aperture to recognise RAW photos I have taken with the camera. The S9600 is the replacement for the S9100, and to be honest I thought the RAW format would be the same as the S3 Pro camera which is supported by Aperture. At the moment I am using the bundled software, making some alterations and then saving the photo as a TIFF and importing it into Aperture. As you can imagine this is rather more longwinded than I had hoped for.
Can anyone help me with this? I would be very grateful.

Hey Dreagor welcome to the forum
all Raw formats are different
they may have the same file name from the same manufacture (Canon= CR2 Nikon= NEF stuff like that) but between cameras they will be different information

FCE & FCP compatibility with OMF files and Pro Tools

I am using Final Cut Express 3.5 and want to edit a future project on it for a friend. When I am finished with the project, I was wanting to export the audio as an OMF file so that it can be mixed in Pro Tools. However, I just realized that Final Cut Express 3.5 does not support OMF exporting.
I am trying to work around this problem and I just need some verification that my idea will work. This is my idea: Will it work if I take my finished FCE project and open it on a friend's computer that has Final Cut Pro and create an OMF file through FCP?
If so, after mixing in Pro Tools, will I be able to import the mixed audio back into my FCE (or worst case scenario, my friend's FCP) and be able to burn the movie to DVD?

1. Depends on the FCP version they're using. FCP5.1 or later will work.
2. Yes.

Iphoto and aperture compatibility with maverick

El iphoto no arranca. Me dice que el “iphoto” no es compatible con este Mac (una vez actualizado).
Lo mismo pasa con Aperture 3.2.4, me dice que no es compatible.
Me ha dejado sin poder trabajar.
Iphoto does not work, Error message: iPhoto not compatible with this Mac.(after upgrade to Mavericks)
Same thing with Aperture 3.2.4. Error: Not compatible

Thank you for the info. I heve seen them in App Store, but are they free of charge ??. I asumme that i should receive SW updates for both, for free.

Will iLife 11(iDVD) be compatable with FLV files?

iLife 09 (iDVD) help files says "flash files" are not acceptable. Will Flash Files (FLV) be acceptable to iLife 11(iDVD)?

No, not without conversion. See for example http://www.applemacvideo.com/howtoconvert/flvmac/flv-to-mov-mac.html
Do some Googling for other conversion approaches.

In Aperture 3.4.1, I am not able to connect with referenced files on a network

I am running OS X 10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4.1, and am unable to connect with referenced files on a network. Specifically, the referenced files reside on my iMac and I am attempting to connect to them from my MBP. They appear in red in the dialogue box. While I know this has been a long standing issue in other versions, I was hoping it had been solved by now. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks -
Dudley

Working with Raw files in Aperture

I bought a DSL are camera recently and have been shooting RAW
Naturally my library is filling up with raw files
My question is - when I want to export a very high quality image how do I get it out of Aperture and keep it as a large ihigh-quality image in raw?
The export options that I have - from dragging to the desktop to sharing as- all end up leaving me with a JPEG image which might only be two or 3 MB. The raw file can often be 10 or 15 MB
So what is the best way to output the full image?

I have a RAW file (22 mbs), I can see from your helpful guidance that I can go into Aperture/Preferences/Export and set the export format to (for example) Tiff 16 bit. When I do that the exported Tiff file is 53 mbs, sounds like I have a got a pretty full version there with all the information store in it so no compaints.
I have another option, export as jpeg in 'original size'. When I set that and then 'Share as email', the resulting image is 2.2 mbs. Do you think a 2.2mb jpeg can be the full high quality image ?
My knowledge of this area, isas you can see, a bit limited. I do understand that if I was sending the image to a printer to get a high quality image, I would send him the 53 mb Tiff file, but is the 2.2 mb jpeg a lower resolution cut doewn version of the original ?
Regards

Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Hi there
I believe you will need a copy of version 5 or 6 to open the CP with and convert to a CPTX. Then you can open using 8.
Additionally, you may discover that things become a bit mangled during the upgrades. Many have not gone smoothly and have forced a rebuild of the project.
Cheers... Rick
