Aperture 3 problem with Sony NEX-5n raw files

Hi all,
I have a Sony Alpha NEX-5n camera and my brother advised to take the pictures in raw format in order to keep all the information the sensors gathered when making the picture. The problem I have is that the software Sony provides with the camera does not allow me to convert the raw files into other formats. I downloaded Aperture trial because my camera was listed in Apple webpage as one of the models that can use raw files with Aperture. My problem is that every time I try to import the raw files, Aperture tell me that it doesn't support the format, and I cannot open the photos in raw and therefore I cannot work with them. I can work with the JPEG, but that is not what I want.
I wanted to buy Aperture, but there is no point for me to do that if I cannot work with the raw files. Maybe it is the trial version, but then Apple would be posting the wrong information in the webpage and therefore should remove my camera from the list (it doesn't say anything about apgrades or updates).
Does anyone else have the same problem? Can anyone confirm that once I buy it, Aperture works with the raw files even if I have to update it?
Thank you very much. I am a Apple fan, but if it doesn't work, I will buy Lightroom or Corel even if they are more expensive.

Hello Savarena,
Try to install the RAW compatibility update: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9
- if is possible to do that with the Trial Version. This update supports your camera.

Does PSE 10 work with Sony Nex 5T raw files?

I have just ordered a Sony Nex 5T. My PSE 10 works well with my Sony Nex 5N, but I wonder if I must update to use PSE with the 5T.

Sony NEX-5N RAW file not recognized

I purchased and loaded from disk Adobe Elements 10. When I try to open a RAW file (.ARW) from my Sony NEX-5N I get a message that it can't be opened because it is the wrong type of file. How do I get Elements 10 to recognize the Sony NEX-5N RAW files?

this is the link for supported RAW formats

1. check which version of ACR is installed with your PSE
To check follow this :
Windows : Open Elements Editor from the welcome screen, then goto Help >> About Plugin >> Camer raw
Mac : Open Elements Editor , then goto Photoshop Elements menu>> About Plugin >> Camera raw and check the version
Check the version there, if its less that 6.5, then you have to update because the camers that you are usning , it requires 6.5 ACR version to work with PSE 10
To update goto Elements editor and and then goto help and update and this will show up the available updates for you PSE 10 which will include ACR as well, once the update is done and installed , then relaunch the PSE 10 editor and then check the version once again to be sure .
If it has updated to 6.5 or later then check your RAW files, they should work now..

Problem with Sony NEX-5 camera raw images in Aperture 3.

Aperture 3 cannot says the RAW files from my Sony Alpha NEX-5 camera are an "unsupported image format". Aperture 3 is a full new copy (not an upgrade) purchased 10 days. My mac is an iMac 3.08 GHz Intel 2 Core, running 10.5.8, and with 4GB of 800 MHz RAM. All software upgrades have been performed.
Aperture 3 says RAW files from my camera are supported. I downloaded directly from the camera by USP in the correct USP setting in the camera , i.e. 'mass storage mode'. Preview can see the .arw files but iPhoto and AP3 cannot. I've read that a possible fix is to down load via a Firewire 800 card reader. I'd rather avoid that as they cost about AU$170 - which is quite an impost when AP3 just cost me AU$249.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Karl McC

Thank you e2photo.
Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
Kind regards,

I can't open Sony NEX-5 raw files with PS-CS6 and latest raw converter plug-in 7.1.

When I try to open raw files from Sony NEX-5 instead of going to PhotoShop like all my NEF files, they go to another software suite that I have (On-One). I am running MAC OS 10.7.5 with latest PS-CS6 and latest raw converter plug-in 7.1. On-One seems to hi-jack these Sony raw files and won't give me the opportunity for the adjustments that I get with the Adobe Raw File converter. Any help??

Great news!

Problem with D-Lux 3 raw files and Mac OS X

Hello everybody… my first post.
Last year I purchased a D-Lux 3, which is my first digital camera and my first Leica too.
While I enjoy this little camera, recently I have noticed that all my pictures shooted in raw have at least 4 black pixels in the exactly same position.
I’m using Mac OS X v 10.4.10 (last version) on a new MacBook 2.16 GHz and the dead pixels appear using both Preview and Aperture (trial). While at first I thought to have a defective sensor, making additional trials, I found out that if I shoot in JPEG or if I open the raw files with Adobe Camera Raw the pictures are just fine, no “dead” pixels appear.
I’m wondering if other D-lux 3 and Mac OS X users have ever noticed this kind of problem.
Is it some sort of very strange bug in Mac OS X?
Thanks

Thanks everybody for the answers.
The pixels are in the top part of the frame but not on the edge.
I think the best explanation could be the automatic “dead Pixels” correction pointed out by jrg_uk.
I really didn’t know some applications make this kind of automatic corrections.
I guess at this point I need to have my camera sensor repaired by Leica.

Sony NEX 7 Raw files using PSE 10

Hello
I am new using PSE 10... why my raw files from the Sony NEX7 couldn´t be opened ? What I doing wrong or what plug in I need to install ?
Please help me

I had a similar issue with a Sony RX100. It was not supported by ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) until version 7.2. Version 7.2 includes the NEX 7 too. It may have been included in earlier versions, but I'm not sure.
ACR is the free Adobe plug in that has all the camera and lens correstions and adjustments. The camera makers create there RAW formats and Adobe then, one at a time, turns that into conversion data in ACR. At least I think that's how it works!
PSE 10 will only go to ACR 6.7. It won't upgrade ACR past 6.7. You have to buy PSE 11 to get functionality with ACR 7.2
The way it works it that you have PSE search for updates under the Help menu. When PSE 10 was new, it allowed me to update the ACR to 6.7. In fact it insisted I do it. The same was true with PSE 11. It alerted me that an upgrade was available.
A similar situation exists with Lightroom. My Sony camera would not work with LR 4. It had to upgrade itself to 4.2
If you don't want to deal with the Adobe details, Sony provides "Image Data Converter" that can make files from the Sony RAW images that PSE10 can work with.
Good luck!

Sony NEX-5 Raw files Elements 8

Hi,
First post ...
I'm looking for a plugin so that I can receive raw files from my NEX-5 into Elements 8. I've searched and can't find any so can anyone tell me whether one is available please?
Jeff

Many thanks .... yes I'd tried the plug-in before posting (both 64bit and on the off chance ... the other one) and presumed they weren't compatible with the NEX-5 because they didn't work.
Appreciate the pointers.
From experience how often are updates released please?

Cannot import NEX-6 raw file (ARW)

I downloaded a Sony NEX-6 raw file (ARW) from dpreview to check out the image quality. But, Aperture does not "see" the file at all.
I have the latest Aperture 3.5.1 with Digital Camera Raw 5.04 (and Maverick) – and I have a Sony A700, with no problem importing raw files from that. According to Aperture support page there "should" be no problem with the NEX-6 camera.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Best regards, Magnus

So I tried with draging the image to the Aperture icon in the Dock – and that worked! And, if I first uploaded the file to Dropbox, and then downloaded it again – then Aperture "can see" the file and I can import the image the usual way
Great voodoo, Magnus - did you swing a chicken over the mac as well? I am glad you could solve the problem.
Trying an explanation of what might have happenend:
Aperture probably will have hidden the image in the Import panel, because it erraniously recognized it as duplicate or an excluded file type because of a problematic file signature. Dragging to the Dock icon is forcing the import, even of duplicates or excluded file types.
And adding to DropBox and then downloading again may change file attributes. DropBox is syncing the files with the server and creating new copies. This may change the file signatures.
Added: There is one thing, that is a bit disconcerting about the solution you now are having. If you have to "convert" your raws by sending them to DropBox to fix the file signatures, or circumvent the Import panel by dragging to the Dock icon, there may be a problem with your "Import Presets.plist" or other cached preference files.
If the problem happens again, quit Aperture and trash this file "/Users/your shourt user name/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Import Presets.plist". Then reboot the system.

Sony NEX-6 RAW image lenscorrection

Hi,
I have a Sony NEX-6 and made some nice photo's. But when I open the photo in Lightroom 5 and go to develop the picture something strange happends to the picture. The same as discribed on this page:

I know how I can turn on the lenscorrection at the picture.
But...I would like to apply this on alle the pictures I import form the Sony. I do have make a user preset but this doesn't seems to work. Maybe I have checked the wrong boxes.

Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

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.
