Aperture error Unsuported Image Format on my previously fine photos

My Aperture librery is located on an external hard drive.
In the same iMac I shared the same library among the family users.
By doing so, most of my previously fine photographs on all projects show the error message "Unsuported Image Format"
Need to solve it as this is frustrating. There is a lot of work behind those pics.
Any ideas?
Manuel

I read in the info you sent that probably I need another external driver or create an image in the same one. Correct?
Hi, Manuel,
Your current drive will do, as long as it is formatted for mac - to be exact, as long as the file system is MacOS X Extended (Journaled) and you have set the "ignore Ownership" flag as shown in my screenshot.
To enable this flag, select the icon of your external drive in the Finder and use the command "File > Get Info ⌘I". In the Info panel disclose the "General" brick to check the filesystem, and disclose the"Sharing & Permissions" brick.
Enable the "Ignore Ownership..." flag, if it is not set.
I do not understand the question about the library being Managed or Referenced. Please explain.
Then your originals are probably managed.
"Managed" means that you are storing the original image files inside the Aperture library
and "Referenced"  means that you are storing the original image files in a folder outside the Aperture library. Aperture is only referencing files somewhre else, and you are responsible for taking care of them. Typically you would use a referenced library, if your drive is running out of space and you need additional storage for a growing library.
Where the original image files will be stored is set up in the "Import" panel, when you import your images. The default is "Sore Files in the Aperture Library".
Prior to seeing your emai I recover al pics using the command "Reprocess Originals" and now I see all pics apparently unchanged from my editing.
That should not happen - please check, if all your adjustments are still enabled.
Select one of the images in the browser and open the "Adjutment" tab in the Inspector panel. Are all edits still enabled? Are the checkmarks in the adjustment brick checked, for the edits you applied? Like this?
If your adjustmenst are enabled, but not visible, select all affected images andrebuild your thumbnails and previews:
Photos > generate Thumbnails
Photos > Update Previews (or hold down the ⌥-key and select "Generate Preview").

  • Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

    I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
    This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
    I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
    Please help.
    William

    Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

  • Unsuported Image Format error with referenced images

    Hi,
    importing referenced images does not work for me: when selecting "store images in their current location" (i.e., referencing them), the preview is visible for a moment and then becomes gray; the large preview says "Unsupported Image Format" (if AP doesn't crash at all).
    When moving the same images into the library, it works fine. This applies to Nikon RAW (NEF) files (from a D70 and D2H) as well as plain JPEGs.
    I'm using Aperture 1.5.2 / OSX 10.4.8 on a Mac Pro; DigitalCameraRAWUniv200601.dmg is installed.
    Thanks in advance for any hints,
    Bernhard
    Mac Pro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Just if anyone cares (somehow this seems to be a rare issue), using referenced images seems to work if I choose a specific location ("Pictures") in the import dialog. The images get copied to a project-specific subfolder of ~/Pictures/ from where they are referenced, seems to work ok.

  • On aperture shown - unsupported image format

  • Aperture 2 Unsupported Image format?

    I'm a fairly new Aperture user, having received Aperture 2 as a gift and just installed it to my new iMac. When uploading RAW files from a Canon 5DII I get a message which reads: unsupported image format. I updated the app via Software Update in the Apple file. What do I need to do to get Aperture to work? I'm pretty sure it also won't recognize jpegs from my camera...
    Thanks for your help!!

    thanks.
    that's kinda my gut instinct about Ap2 and Lion too. I'm talking to Apple about this too but, guess what, they haven't come back with a conclusive answer yet - hence i'm scouring the forums to see if anyone else has already asked Apple the same question and got a definite yes or no out of them.
    i've bought and tested Lion and like many of the new features and dislike quite a few too, but given the choice, i'd probably stay on SL for Ap2 (and Front Row, Apple!!).   But my hand may be forced as my SL machine is dying and Apple say they won't repair but will give me a new MBP - which only comes with Lion - and Apple have confirmed that the new MBP firmware will not run SL...    hence my frantic scramble to see if I can still run Ap2 on Lion
    My gripes with Ap3 are too numerous to mention and here isn't really the place to discuss but biggies for me are the removal of gridlines from the Straightening tool and the removal of the ability to use a single keystroke to go from Ap3 windowed Browser mode to viewing a single image in Ap3 full screen - yes, you can go from Ap3 full-screen Browser mode to single image with a keystroke, but staying permanently in Ap3 full-screen Browser mode is not possible as many actions are not available in Ap3 full-screen mode and you have to go to Ap3 windowed mode to access them - in fact some actions actually kick you out of Ap3 full-screen Browser mode back into Ap windowed mode...
    if that makes any sense... had to insert 'Ap3' a lot to avoid confusion with the new Lion full-screen mode or i end up saying things like 'changing from Lion-Windowed-Aperture-Windowed mode to either Lion-Full-Screen-Aperture-Windowed mode or Lion-Full-Screen-Aperture-Full-Screen mode...'
    was hoping when they'd have tidied that up a bit with Lion - maybe Ap4?

  • Aperture gets "Unsupported Image Format" on some JPG images

    I'm using Aperture 1.5.2 "trial" on PB 15" with OSX 10.4.9. I am getting "Unsupported Image Format" on about half of the 15,000 JPG images that I have on my HDD. But not all of them - even though all images come originally from my D100 camera and are JPEG images. These are all JPEG images with extensions JPG, jpg and jpeg. No RAW or TIFF.
    My images are currently catalogued in iVew MediaPro [IVMP] and I'm interested in switching to Aperture. So I've gotta find a way to import those photos.
    Here's a clue: When I put the CF card from my camera into the computer yesterday and tried to add the images to Aperture it reported that all the images on the CF chip were "Unsupported Image Format." I was not copying the images - just leaving them im place. As a test, I then used IVMP to import from the CF card onto the HDD, into a directory. Afterward, I fired up Aperture and it could properly index and display the files. I noticed that the pre-existing images that are viewable in Aperture all have previews when viewed in the Finder. Also, they've all been imported from CF to HDD using IVMP, so there may be some processing going on there. I also tried reading files into Photoshop and rewriting them with previews, which I verified in the Finder, and those files also can not be viewed in Aperture. So it is not just a question of having a preview - it's something else about the files.
    Another clue - when I shoot more than one CF of photos in a day, I use IVMP to import the first CF batch, and those are always visible in Aperture - but IVMP doesn't let you import two batches on the same date (pretty goofy huh?) - so to import an additional batch I have to (Finder drag-drop) copy from the CF to the HDD into a directory - and those files have no previews, have not been imported thru IVMP, and interestingly are not viewable in Aperture.
    So I'd have to conclude that iView MediaPro is doing something to "tame" the files' format that makes them acceptable to Aperture. But I want to dump IVMP, so there has to be some other way to make these D100 files acceptable to Aperture.
    I either need to "fool" Aperture into reading the files or find a way to tweak 'em and make 'em acceptable to Aperture. Any ideas from other iView/Aperture users out there?
    PB 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Good idea, but I checked it... I mentioned reading right from the card in order to illustrate that the JPG files are "unsupported image format" even *right from the camera*. *In fact* the CF is not the differentiating factor between renderable and non-renderable. The real factor is whether the files went thru iView Media Pro or not. Files that were drag-dropped from the CF into a folder are not renderable by Aperture and files that were imported first (from the CF or from another folder) thru IVMP into a folder are renderable.
    Yesterday I confirmed again that GraphicConverterX does not fix the files if I import and then rewrite with additional options turned on. It also sees the same IPTC data and EXIF on both a "good" file and a "bad" file. Identical. I also fixed the OS9 creator and filetypes so they're <none> and that didn't fix anything - some good files and some bad files have this configuration.
    Ah another COOL THING - I just loaded a CF card into the computer and brought up Aperture - it immediately recognized the card and showed me two previews - one for a NEF (Nikon RAW) and one for a JPG. The previews looked fine. I clicked to have it import the photos. Once imported, the NEF looked OK, but the JPG had a grey preview and then "Unsupported Image Format" on the large version. I think this confirms the file format is a problem, but then why was Aperture able to gen a preview when the file was on the CF chip but not after it was copied to the HDD?
    I double-checked this by copying in Finder drag-drop from the CF card to the HDD and then importing the same two photos (NEF and JPG) from the HDD, and indeed the NEF was renderable and the JPG was not. For me this confirms that there's something about the file format that Aperture can't deal with.
    I then imported the same two files using IVMP (Media Pro) and as expected, both files could then be "imported" and rendered by Aperture. So IVMP is doing something that makes Aperture really happy.
    In case someone can actually compare the two files - I have put up a "bad" and a "good" JPG - it's the same image from a Nikon D100, but one of them (bad) is right from the camera and the other (good) was imported by IVMP and somehow is acceptable to Aperture. Any intelligence that anyone can add based on these files would be useful.

  • What is this mean "Unsupprted image format" ??

    Hello i've been cropping and editting and now suddenly when i click on a photo to enlarge full screen i get " unsuported image format"" thats so terrible because now i cant export them end email files..
    anybody can tell me what this is
    thanks thanks thanks
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Look - this has been reported in these discussions so many times and by so many people and for so long - that everyone and their granny knows this is an Aperture PROBLEM (?bug?)
    With me it occurs every time when I edit large .tiff or RAW files (around 60 MB) and can only get 20 done - before 'Unsupported File Format' and the dreaded red screen! Closing and then re-opening Aperture is the only solution (and I have tried ALL thos suggested on these many threads re this problem!
    I have emailed Apple so many times (and I guess so have others) - so far, to my knowledge they have not even recognised that this exists. Even in this thread you can see 'it may be a bug' ??? what does this mean EXACTLY (William Lloyd) ???
    Come on Apple - as well as the fab hardware we need RELIABLE photo editing software - and. for me Aperture is great - until it requires to be shut down and re-started every 30 minutes!
    Otherwise, I for one will switch to another software

  • 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!

  • Unsupported image format from Nikon D90 raw

    I am getting the message Unsuported image format when I download my Raw photos from my new Nikon D90 camera. The screen is red. I can not determine what I need to do to correct this problem. Please help.

    Thanks for the reply. I did update to the highest aperture 1.5.6, no go.
    That is what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure if there was a loop hole I was missing. I love using Aperture but since I just got adobe photoshop elements 8, I can't see paying more $ for an upgrade on aperture 3 when pse will do relatively the same thing. I always shoot in raw. Any other suggestions?
    BTW your wife will love the D90, it is an awesome camera. Just did a wedding with it and it did it all. Didn't even need my backup D50. You know what they say, If momma isn't happy, nobody is happy.

  • "Unsupported Image Format" all of a sudden, with previously workable files

    Folks,
    I've got an issue that seems very strange indeed.
    Months ago, I bought a Pentax K20D. I also bought a 17" MacBook Pro and Aperture. Camera and Aperture played well together.
    I encountered the known issue with white spots on the image when using the 2-second timer for long exposures. I read about how the Pentax firmware update 1.01 changed the EXIF Make information, causing Aperture to be unable to read the K20D PEF RAWs. So I waited.
    When Aperture 2.1.1 was released (and I think the Apple RAW update), I installed both of those. When I heard through this forum that the updates fixed the problem, I also updated my camera's firmware and confirmed that it worked.
    So smooth sailing for a few months on Aperture 2.1.1, OS 10.5.3 (or .4, I forget), and K20D firmware 1.01.
    Then I bought a Mac Pro 8-Core with 10.5.4 on it. I sold the 17" MacBook Pro. I used the Migration Wizard to move my user account from one machine to the other, but did a fresh install of all applications. (I've been an Apple tech for the past 7 years, and have various certifications. I know the user transfer process isn't perfect, but it should have the following results... read on)
    Now, in Aperture 2.1.1 on 10.5.4 with all updates, PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.01 that were previously edited, manipulated, etc just fine on my MacBook Pro say "Unsupported Image Format" in a big reddish-black box when I try to view the master. If I switch to Quick Preview, it displays just fine, but is un-adjustable. Additionally, any NEW images I copy from my K20D show in the Import window as being 0x0 pixels (or occasionally 160x120 pixels) and will only show a tiny preview or "Unsupported Image Format." All PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.0 are just fine.
    So here's what I've done:
    1) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.4 on another HD in the Mac Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This should be perfectly clean. It gives the "Unsupported Image Format" error with any new images from my K20D. Copying the library from my other partition gives the same problems as described earlier.
    2) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.3 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. Applied the Apple RAW update and iLife enhancements. It gives the same errors as before.
    3) Tested a fresh install of 10.4.11 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This worked perfectly for all PEFs and DNGs.
    4) Took a month-old backup (from when everything was working just fine) of my Aperture Library and loaded it into all of the above configurations. Same results!
    So what is the deal here? Aperture all of a sudden can't read images that it itself was able to edit a month ago? How come it works just fine in 10.4.11? This seems really messy. I have essentially lost a lot of the work I've put in.
    I can use DNGs moving forward, but my past work is now messed up, and the DNGs are almost 75% bigger than the PEFs!
    Anyone have any ideas for resolution or should I just call Apple?
    Message was edited by: MonsieurBon

    If it's any consolation, I had the EXACT same problem today; just opened Aperture 2 and my entire library of images shows "unsupported image format' -- the thumbnails are still intact but clicking on any image suddenly shows the red screen.
    Same situation, these images were previously editable and accessible. We had a power outage an hour ago and initially I thought my library had crashed, but I was not actually using Aperture 2 at the time of the outage so I don't think that's the case.
    Given the relatively sparse attention Apple gives to these forums, I don't expect there will be a quick response.
    I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed, I don't have access to another version of the OS to see if I can get it work. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a series of Software Updates recently? I click on these without really checking the apps that are affected; could Aperture have been one of the apps 'revised' by the recent update?

  • Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

    Dear all,
    I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
    • Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
    • Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
    • Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
    • Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
    • Viveza 2 for Aperture
    History
    Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
    • I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
    • My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
    • I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
    • as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
    • As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
    • As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
    After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
    Problem:
    After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
    After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
    *"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
    Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
    • I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
    • A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
    The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
    • I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
    • Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
    • Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
    • Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
    • installation of latest EOS utilitys
    Questions
    • Can you support me to overcome this issue?
    • Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
    For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
    I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
    Best regards,
    Matthias
    PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

    Dear Ma-Le / All
    I have just had the same problem
    I use
    • Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
    • Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
    • Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
    This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
    Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
    A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
    The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
    The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
    - Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
    - Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
    - Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
    - Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
    - Changing permissions settings
    - Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
    - Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
    - Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
    Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
    1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
    2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
    3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
    4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
    I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
    Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
    Eric
    PS: As a professional photographer this problem is a really serious issue for me - and I really don't really want to go to Lightroom or Capture One

  • 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?

  • What's with the occasional "Unsupported image format" errors?

    I get this error randomly -- suddenly Aperture can't show me anything but a brief flash of the image, and then I get the maroon screen "Unsupported image format" error. Restarting Aperture returns things to normal. I've seen this in both version 1.5.6 and 2.
    I can count on this occurring about every hour or so. This is quite frustrating. I use CR2 files almost exclusively, written from a Canon 5D.
    Any ideas or workarounds for this behavior?

    I was getting this all the time with 1.5, I have not seen it yet with 2. I think it's a memory thing, it happens more quickly if I am running Safari and other stuff. Sometimes quitting Aperture then starting again does the trick, more often shutting the machine down and rebooting clears it. I also have some very large tiff's in the library, Aperture can't (I've not tried it in 2 yet) cope with them, always the unsupported error message. These files are between 300mb to 1gig, sometimes it justs hangs on to the 300mb but mostly not. By the end of the day it was a real problem, I could only export images 2-3 at a time, if I tried to email 10 low res I would get either an out of memory warning or unsupported etc.
    Something holds onto the memory somewhere either in Ap or Safari or all things running.
    Kevin.
