Aperture import of RAW files

Why does Aperture suddenly not allow me to import RAW files?
The message I get is that a specific amount of space is required
to import these images, I'm certain that I have the space available
on my computer for the import to occur. Please help...
Thank you,
Mike

What OS and Aperture version are you using? Did you check you amount of disk space available? Can you create a new library and import 1 RAW file?

Aperture imports, and RAW files...

After I import raw photos into Aperture when I first click on the photo and it opens in full screen, it looks brighter/best and then a second later the photo darkens colors change just a little, almost like I have an import preset assigned and it only happens when I import raw photos not JPEG's. Can someone tell me how I can make sure that I don't have some kind of preset happening, I would like to have the photo's stay the same as when i first import?

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

It doesn't.
When you import Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

Most recent RAW update, New Aperture and Maverick but still Aperture cannot view RAW files from my Sony RX-100 camera.

I have all the most recent Software updates and a brand new version of Aperture but when I connect my Sony RX-100 to my MBP, Aperture cannot view or import the RAW files. It will import JPEG format. I am new to Aperture and would appreciate some advice here. Do I need an old RAW format update or is there something else I need to do here.
Thanks for any help.

Keith, the latest raw support claims to have fixed issues with the RX-100 raw support:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.03This update adds RAW image compatibility for additional cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11. Jan 16, 2014
This update adds RAW image compatibility for the following camera to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11:
Canon EOS M2
It also includes fixes that:
Resolve an issue that prevented lens correction from working properly with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 images
Address a color cast issue on some Olympus OM-D E-M1 images
The RX-100 has been supported since earlier, but the previous raw support has introduced a bug.
itunesisbullshitplopcrapshould update the raw support.
This requires Aperture 3.5. and Mavericks.
Correction: This requires
System Requirements
OS X 10.8.5 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 9.4.5
OS X 10.9 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 9.4.5

Import fuji raw files

Is there any way for Aperture 3 to import Fuji RAW files? Lightroom does.

X1 Pro - RAW not yet supported. Understand it takes a little while as it's a new sensor type but Lightroom has caught up now and Aperture is supposed to be a serious photographers' tool; just as the Mac has always been a serious photographer's computer.
Come on Apple....!

Aperture and/or RAW files on a iPad?

I use Aperture as my primary photo editng program, and do the editing on my MacPro. While traveling, as a backup to my memory cards, I have been importing the RAW files from my Nikon DSLR into Aperture on my laptop (MacBook). When I get home I then import again directly from the cards to my MacPro, using the files on the laptop only if the card is lost or corrupted. QUESTION: I am considering getting an iPad to replace the MacBook while traveling. Is it possible to import my Nikon RAW files onto the iPad, using any program/app that will store them as a backup to my cards? I would not do editing on the iPad. I do not believe that there is an Aperture app/program that will run on the iPad (could be wrong), but that would not be necessary for my purposes. I only want a place to store the RAW files and then be able to retrieve them in an emergency in an unaltered form. Thanks for any suggestions.

You sure can, and it's actually pretty easy.
First, you'll need the Camera Connection Kit for your iPad so you can either connect your camera via it's USB cable, or read an SD card if that's what your camera uses.
No software is necessary on the iPad...simply connect the camera or SD card using the CCK and the iPad will import the images into a new event.
Then when you are ready to import the images on the iPad into Aperture, simple connect it via it's USB cable and do an import in Aperture. The iPad will show up in Aperture as a device, and you can import the images on the iPad using all your usual settings.
One obvious consideration is to make sure you get an iPad with enough storage for the photos you anticipate storing on it. As you know, RAW files--depending on your camera model--can use up storage pretty quickly. Apple just announced a 128GB version of the iPad so you have plenty of options.
The iPad is a great device for what you describe, i.e., using it as a travel device. You can easily view your images, do slideshows, and do some basic editing using iPhoto and other apps. Just don't plan on doing a lot of heavy-duty editing with it.

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

How to import only RAW files from camera?

I also shoot with both RAW and JPEG, such that I have access to JPEGs to share with people immediately before post-processing. But I only want to use RAW in my Lightroom flow.
When pictures are already in Lightroom, I use filters in the library view to show only RAW, or only JPEG, or both (by applying a filter on the file extension).
But how do I set a filter before importing? I would like to import only the RAW pictures into lightroom, but I don't see a way of doing that using Lightroom's import from camera card features. I either have to let lightroom import all, and then remove the JPEGs, or use Windows explorer to copy over just RAW files and then use Lightroom to import.
I would like to use Lightroom in just one step to import all RAW files (but only RAW files) from the camera card directly to the library. A file filter in the import dialog seems like an easy feature to implement.

Another reason to have a filter in import is then you can then apply a preset to the RAW files only. At present if I want to apply a preset to my RAW files on import I have to apply it to the JPEGs too as there is no way of being selective on import. I then have to remove the preset from the JPEGs, which is a pointless and unnecessary task, whilst LR is busy rendering the unwanted look.
I shoot both file types on one cameras as the JPEG gives me a look that is very hard to replicate with the RAW files and on another camera I use a picture style to remind me of what I was looking for when shooting. Again as it's a custom style it's very hard to replicate the look in LR from the RAW file.
Though a major reason I shoot both JPEGs + RAW is that I was asked by a client a few years back, when I only shot RAW for all the shots as JPEGs to select down from. As this was a 4 week feature film shoot it took several days constant rendering out of Photoshop to output the JPEGs. This was just before LR and even then, LR would still take considerable time to produce all those exported files, though a lot quicker than PS I would hope. So now I always shoot JPEGs as well so I never have to waste time outputting JPEGs for a client to do a rough select.

Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
Thanks

No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Problem importing NEF raw files in PSE 11

In the past week I have become unable to import Nikon raw files (NEF format) into PSE 11 editor. I seem to have the latest version of PSE 11 and the latest camera raw plug-in (7.4). All was working fine. I now get an error message "unable to use the camera raw plu-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks.

Did you update via the Help> Updates menu option or by some other means?
Search your computer to make sure you only have the one copy of 'Camera RAW.8bi'. On my windows 7 64-bit it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi and is 24,719,736 bytes.
Are these NEF files from a newer Nikon camera? If so which one? Each camera has it's own NEF format (although the error message you get does not suggest this would be the problem)?
Cheers,
Neale

Only Apple knows. The never announce upcoming RAW support in advance, sorry. And if anybody knew, it would not be allowed to post this information here.
