Aperture / Leopard / Nikon RAW file issues

I run a small business with multiple macs, some with leopard, some without. I've found that on the Machine with leopard, the RAW image files from my Nikon Camera com out corrupted, both in Preview, Quick Look, and Aperture. When I tried them on My machine running Tiger, they are fine, but after I try them in leopard, find them corrupted, and bring them back to Tiger, they're still corrupted. Any ideas on what's causing this, I hear Time Machine and Aperture don't get along, but I've tried it both with and without it, and the same issues come up. HELP!!

Consider yourself fortunate if you've had no issues but even Apple knows there are many users experiencing various corruption issues. I myself have been in contact with support personnel at Apple regarding issues with jpegs. I have over 1500 of 2100 jpegs that not only do not display in Aperture but any attempt to do so will crash the application immediately. Not only that, but attempting to view them in the Finder or Preview will do the same. I've had no issues with NEF but I've also temporarily stopped usage of Aperture and have reverted to my copy of Lightroom which displays none of these issues in discussion here but does have other issues which are well documented on the Lightroom forum.
Just for the record, I did a clean install of Leopard and then installed Aperture 1.5. I then upgraded to 1.5.6 before restoring my backup library. The crashing started immediately and it wasn't until several email exchanges with a very responsive Apple engineer that we determined an issue with the jpegs.

Adobe camera raw 4.6 and nikon raw files from the d700

when opening a nikon raw file from the new d700, the picture appeares almost 1 step brighter than if you open the same picture in nikons capture nx2 software. the same happens when you do so with the new camera raw support in apples aperture - also almost 1 step to bright.

>I expected that a raw file shows up the same in every raw-converter.
Your expectation is wrong. Every RAW converter will give you a different interpretation of the data. There is no single accepted way of interpreting RAW.
>shouldn't that be so?
Not really. I think what makes RAW so interesting is that you are not tied to the camera maker's interpretation of the data. This gives one far more versatility to get to your desired result. Of course, if you prefer the camera maker's interpretation, youu can use their software to develop the RAW or you can use the beta profiles in ACR/Lightroom and get
close to identical rendering. I don't know if Adobe released any beta camera profiles for the D700 yet though.

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.

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue! Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
Any help is much appreciated!

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.

How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software? Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology. I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.

Yes it is possible, depending on your camera and version of PSE

Cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

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.

You most likely have the clipping indicator on that shows you blown out areas. Click the little triangle in the upper right of the histogram to turn it on or off.

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.

Converting Nikon raw file

Hi Folk,
Having converting Nikon raw files (NEF) I found that MB25 in NEF became MB 51 in DNG.
Is it normal? Can I have more data than in the original?
Thanks
Shaul

Yes, it's normal. DNG is a more generalized intermediate format and may require to fill in info just for compatibility reasons like padding chroma sub-sampling and the like.

Aperture 3.1.1 does not import Nikon RAW files from Nikon Coolpix P7000

Hi,
I'm running Aperture 3.1.1. The problem is that it will not display Nikon RAW (NRW) files from the Coolpix P7000.
Recently, a compatibility update was published for the Coolpix P7000 and other cameras. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1339?viewlocale=en_US
When I load the update however, the installer tells me that "this update is only for Iphoto 11 and Aperture 3" which is a bit odd , since I have Aperture 3 ?!
Can anyone help please ?
Kind Regards
Andreas

Welcome to the list. Make sure you read the [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] section when you get a chance.
Do you have Aperture installed in the Applications folder as Aperture (not Aperture3 or anything like that)?

Does Aperture support NEF RAW files for the Nikon D810?

I am unable to open NEF RAW files for my new Nikon D810. Are there any updates of suggestions.

Apple has not yet reverse-engineered a RAW update for the d810. I would suggest that you shoot RAW +JPEG with all your NEF images on the CF card and put your JPEG optimal fine images on the SD card in slot 2. Save your NEF images and CF cards until the Aperture 3.5.1 RAW update for the d810 finally is available. In the meantime, you will have JPEG optimal images on your SD cards that you can import and process in Aperture. Good Luck.
