Aperture 3 Raw conversion from Nikon D700 - Bad results - Anyone?

I recently upgraded to a Nikon D700 and have noticed I am getting some really bad conversion results from my raw files which involve my having to do a lot of work to get decent images. Most images are too dark and with strong orange cast... Any ideas? I thought it might be the camera, so I tried another computer with photoshop raw converter and images are fine. I have noticed the original import settings are strange on Aperture but cannot seem to change them, they always revert back to maximum hue boost and max boost ect... Any help would be great! thanx!

I have a Nikon D700 and have just tried the Aperture demo- same results as you guys, disappointing RAW conversion. Contrast and sharpness quite poor and blues are 'off'
I currently use Capture NX and was looking for something a little less 'clunky'. Though it may not be as slick as Aperture, its RAW conversion is spot on (as you would expect from a Nikon sponsored app)
It's easy to compare the differences- open an unedited RAW file in Capture NX and save as an uncompressed, 16 bit TIFF. Import this and the original RAW file into Aperture. Prepare for disappointment :-/

  • Till now Aperture worked well in mavericks, "suddenly?" the import of raw files from Nikon D700 is no more supported, only jpg's are accepted. Any idea what happened?

    Aperture (3.5.1)  worked very well in Maverick (OSX 10.9). After having worked on pictures, "suddenly" messages poped up saying that "his os not a supported format" and the thumbnailpicture became black. Since then Aperture does no more accept the import of the Nikon D700 raw format (NEF); omnly jpg is accepted.
    I'm very puzzeled, can you help?
    Thanks,
    Felix

    Thanks, Felix. A tiny bit of RAW finetuning such as sharpening also helps.
    But I also just discovered several other weird and unpredictable effects:
    image viewer => right click on image => menu appears => another click on image => menu disappears and image is displayed as rotated by 180 degree
    image viewer => right click on image => menu appears => edit with plugin => image is displayed as rotated by 180 degree => plugin opens => cancel plugin => image is rotated to normal again
    another image got flipped horizontaly somehow.
    or weird effects like this:
    Something must be seriously wrong on my Mac.

  • Opening Camera Raw Files from Nikon D700 to CS2

    Hi there!  I recently upgraded from the Nikon D200 to the D700.  I haven't managed to upgrade to CS5 though!  Can anyone help me, I'm trying to open my Camera Raw files in CS2, but I can't.  What version of the upgrade do I need for the Camera Raw and where do I find it!
    Many thanks!
    Carla

    The last version that is compatible with Photoshop CS2 is Camera Raw 3.7.  It is available from the download site.  If you are not going to upgrade your Photoshop then it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw files.  Then you will be able to open those DNG files in ACR 3.7.

  • When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
    I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

  • 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?

  • Brushes not working with new RAW conversion for Nikon D7000

    I have always worked with RAW files w/A2 & A3.1.1 with my Nikon (D80) And now, just got Nikon's D7000 and of course, waited for the RAW conversion that just came out.
    Apple addressed the Nikon D7000 RAW situation (which was fixed this month), but now when I use "brushes" on RAW pics, very little if any changes occur.
    Very little affect occurs (if any) with A3.1.1 and the "new" RAW conversion for Nikon. I shot (at the same time) both RAW and JPEG (as cameras can) and put them side by side in A3. Pulled down Dodge / Burn / Skin Smoothing & Blur from brushes and they all did a great job. But on the RAW pic that was taken at the same time..... nada, nothing (maybe a minute change, but nothing to call home about).
    Bottom line, the newest RAW capability that came out a couple of weeks ago, somehow messed up brushes? I don't think I am that smart or lucky to see this issue. Am I missing something here? If so, please set me straight.
    I have tried the places one pulls down brushes but no affect on RAW. Using curves from bricks and luminance, etc, works just fine. Guess I am stuck with JPEG's until this is resolved by our A3 guys, or someone realigns me.

    I am able to import them, but I cannot edit them as RAW files. They behave like .jpegs. So correcting exposure for example is a horrible experience. My 5D Mark II files behave as they did in Aperture, so it is the FZ1000 RAWs in particular that are problematic.

  • Aperture 2 vs Aperture 3 RAW conversion

    I am new to Aperture and have been reading up on it. One point I thought was interesting was that v3 RAW conversion was considered improved over v2. I could understand that there could be a variance during the initial release of v3, but at some point v2 conversion would have been updated.
    Is there a difference between v2 and v3 RAW conversion?
    If so, how big of a difference? Would it be better to use Canon RAW converter instead?
    Thanks,
    Kenn

    You need to eyeball the various conversions using your own typical photos. Each different camera model is a different RAW conversion, and each individual's brain/eyes see them differently. With the Nikon D2x I prefer Nikon's conversion over Aperture's and Aperture's over Adobe's - but Aperture's workflow is superior by a lot so I use Aperture.
    If I was selling a thousand dollar large landscape print (I wish) shot on a D2x I would do the RAW conversion using Nikon Capture NX 2 rather than using Aperture, but that is just my personal preference with that particular camera model. And I see the difference as tiny, small enough that for most photography the workflow is more important.

  • Poor raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format in Lightroom 3 and 4

    I'm seeing very poor results when doing raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format. Who can I contact about this? Is there anything I can do?
    See below for what is supposed to be a white curtain, lit by stage lighting. It results in a blown out blue channel, serious loss of detail, and very ugly gradient.
    (Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT  --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)
    And for more detail:
    (Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on TOP  --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on BOTTOM)
    (Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)

    The blue light is so intense that it is, or almost is, saturating the sensor.
    The camera’s built-in raw conversion handles this by shifting the color to cyan—clipping the blue and allowing the green to contribute more.  I doubt there was cyan lighting in the scene, only blue.
    Adobe does not shift the hue, but this makes the blue seem over saturated.  Adobe’s conversion may be more colorimetrically correct, but less pleasing in this case of intense lighting that the sensor cannot accurately record.
    It is a difference in camera profile used between the camera and Adobe.  Since Adobe does not supply camera-match profiles for much more than Nikon and Canon cameras, you’re not going to be able to fix things other than managing the over-saturation using HSL or WB or other things like lower-vibrance, higher saturation. 
    You could try making your own camera profile using an X-Rite Color-Checker Passport or the color-checker and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor:

  • When can we expect an upgrade to be able to treat RAW files from Nikon D750?

    Bridge is not yet able to read RAW files from Nikon D750. Aperture can now do it. When can we expect Adobe to publish an upgrade?

    You are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.  I most certainly do not work or speak for Adobe.
    This I can tell you: Adobe has a long standing policy of not commenting on unreleased software.
    Adobe Camera Raw is updated in an orderly fashion every three to four months.  No other factor leads to an accelerated or early release.

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.

  • Does elements 11 open RAW files from Nikon D7100

    Having problems in opening RAW files from my Nikon D7100 in elements 9. Want to know whether elements 11 will open it?

    Barries99
    Yes. Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 should open your Nikon D7100 raw files if Camera Raw 7.4 is installed.
    Raw images from Nikon D7100 are not supported until Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Make sure that the Elements 11 version is updated for Camera Raw 7.4. See Help Menu/Updates.
    If you are going to stay with your Photoshop Elements 9 Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, you can use the DNG converter
    to get .dng.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Remember, you need a version of Camera Raw that supports your camera as well as a version of Camera Raw that is suppported
    by the version of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements that you have.
