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.

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?

I have my camera (Canon 5D MARK 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put ab

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

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

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.

Is it possible to ignore and not import JPG files when a JPG and raw file of the same name exist?

Is it possible to ignore JPG files on import? I shoot raw + JPG and see no reason to keep the JPGs; I shoot JPG primarily as a backup (I back all the JPGs up online to my smugmug account then delete them before importing the raw files), but they're also occasionally handy if one wants to get a quick print in the field. I know that one can set a preference to "Treat JPEG Files Next to Raw Files As Separate Photos", but even then they still are imported.
As an example, say I have this scenario (not on DSLRS, but on pNs cameras, sometimes a JPG but not raw is captured - I suspect this has to do with how the buffer is filling) with these files on a memory card:
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0001.CR2
IMG_0002.JPG
IMG_0003.JPG
IMG_0003.CR2
When I import pictures from this folder, I'd like 2 CR2 files and 1 JPG to be imported. I'm even willing to copy the relevant files and drag and drop them onto LR's Library module. But even if I do that, all five files get imported. Thanks!

No, I don't believe that's correct. As I said in my previous post, Lightroom's Import is a two-stage process.....first copy the files from the card, then when that is finished, render whatever previews have been requested.
AFAIK there is nothing unusual about my system, Lightroom has always imported in this two-stage way as far back as I can remember. Based on this I see no 'safety' benefit from copying files first outside Lightroom, then using an ADD import process. On the contrary, as this takes away the possibility of using the "Second Copy on Import" option, as well as having to manually setup import folders, I see nothing but downside from that approach.
Mea culpa, Jim is correct! I checked my Windows 7 system with LR4.2 and I monitored the 'Destination folder' during an import direct from memory card to hard drive. 'Copy and import' showed in the progress bar until all image files were visible using Windows Explorer in the 'Destination folder.' Only after all files had transferred did the progress bar change to ‘Render 1:1 Previews.’ I started using LR1.0 on a Pentium 3 single-core system with Windows XP 32 bit, which I think is when I made this observation. Regardless, it is clear that LR4.2 is using a two-step import process. Thanks Jim for being persistent!
It still begs the question why some people are experiencing very slow imports, damaged image files, and other related import problems from memory cards? My guess (and it's only a guess) is that they have 1) 'Rename Files,' 2) 'Automatically write changes into XMP,' or 3) 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files' checked in LR preferences. It would be a good idea for anyone experiencing import issues to try an import with these three (3) options unselected.
My apologies to the OP DBarman for going off topic. Hopefully the extra information and observations are helpful.

What camera are you using? The RAW support is camera specific. Have you installed the latest Digital Camera Raw update 6.01?
If you are already running the latest raw support, try to reinstall:
To reinstall you need to exchange files in the System Library. So be sure to backup your computer before patching the system library.
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password.
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.
If the current support is still causing the problems after reinstalling, try to downgrade to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07

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.

Separating jpg and raw files after importing in lightroom 5

i would like to separate my jpg and raw files once they are in lightroom (right after importing) so that all my jpgs are 1 after the other on the film strip below and my raw files are one after the other. is this possible?

In Library Grid view, on the Tool Bar (T), change "Sort:" to "File Extension"

I've been trying to download an update to Photoshop so that I can import a raw file. Half way through it stops and tells me that to continue I have to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe. I have NO other programmes or applications open. None at all. What should I do? And by the way, how do I can't Adobe, instead of asking others (i. e. doing their job for them)?

close that exe using your task manager (win) or activity monitor (mac).

Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

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....!

JPG and RAW files are not grouped together.

I am finding that my RAW and JPG files are not grouped together. They show up on the Grid View as JPG for the JPG file and RAW + JPG for the NEF(RAW) file. This does not seem to be consistent through out the folder. Some of the pictures are grouped together and others are not. The ones that are not grouped together have been auto-stacked and then unstacked. I am not sure if this is what caused the seperation of JPG and RAW files. I did try to take a picture that I had auto-stacked it and then remove it and it did not sepearate. The "Treat JPG files next to raw files as seperate photos" option is turned off, like it is in my Lightroom 3.

This is what I'm talking about:
Show subfolders are on:
In windows Explorer:
In the Import Dialog:
Where are the files?
If I click on the Folder 2014_12_14... all the files from all folders will populate.

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.
