Aperture library can't link the RAW files.
I am pretty much pulling my hair out on this. I setup Aperture so all files are collected and held into the APlibrary files.
My Aperture library also resigned on an external drive. One day I realized that I needed to reformat the drive so I copied the Aperture Library off onto another drive. When I went to choose the new Library which was the backup, all raw files couldn't be found. At first it was unrecognized file error, and now it just shows the jpg.
I ran Aperture holding the keycombos to fix permissions, and do a rebuild of the Library. What that did was make it so I wouldn't get an error but it replaced everything with the JPGs and no raw files to be found.
Next I renamed the aplibrary file to .foo I opened it up as a directory and then started to rename the project folders so I could open those. All of the NEF (RAW) files are there intact which is great, but I need to connect everything so I still have the Raw files with all color adjustments.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I don't know what else I can do.
Thanks!
Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

Can I make Aperture 3.4.5 read the RAW files from a Lumix GX7?
I had an LX7 - RAW support no problem. Just got my lovely GX7 and native Aperture RAW support for this camera doesn't exist. I can't upgrade from OS 10.7.5 or Aperture 3.4.5 as I'm on a 2007 MacPro. Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7? I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...
The Tech Specs for the Raw support are contradictory:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
says Aperture 3.4 or later required for your camera, but the Compatibility Update 5.01 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1706) says Mac OS X 10.8.5 or later.
Have you tried to download and install the update?
Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7?
I don't think that is possible, since Aperture will convert images to tiff or psd, when sending them to plug-ins and external editors. And that requires, that Aperture can process the raw.
I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...
I am using Adobe's dng converter for my unsupported Lumix raws. But I cannot check, if it will process your GX7 files.

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera. I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter. I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong? Thanks!
This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added] -
I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!
What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4. -
When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?
I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images. -

Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
BrianHi,
The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
You need to either
1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
or
2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
For XP or Vista :
DNG Converter 8.3
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
For Windows 7 or 8
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
For Mac
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5

How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?
how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?
You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.

Elements 10 can not read the raw-files from my Sony a-57
The raw-converter is updatet to 6.7 and according to Adobe it should be able to read Sony a-57. When I got Elements 10, a file had to be moved so it could read the raw-files from my Minolta 5D. Can this be the cause of the problem ? What to do ?
What version of ACR does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show you, and is more than one Camera Raw listed in About Plug-ins…?

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?
I recently purchased a Nikon D610. I have PSE 10. I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW. I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format. Any help??????
Your most direct choices are:
1) Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws. These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in. Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
2) Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added. PSE10 won’t be updated.
Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera. These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software. -
I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?
I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
(Canon Server)
I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

Got a new camera? Can't open the raw files?
Just use Forum Search.
Jeffrey Tranberry wrote:
At the top of the forum is an FAQ with two topics called:
Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw
The top FAQ explains that we provide new camera updates every quarter, and that we provide early access to Camera Raw releases on Adobe Labs. Unfortunately, we can't give specifics on dates and all models that will be supported.
The second FAQ gives specifics about what cameras are currently supported and when support was added.
Unfortunately, it's not being very effective. Clearly, lots of people wade in here asking the same questions, over and over again.
I suppose that there's two possible attitudes to this:
1. People are lazy/stupid/busy/insert-excuse-here to read the forum instructions, and it doesn't matter how easy you make it, they'll still not read it.
2. Improve usability. The ACR forum design and precise wording could be tweaked, to make it easier/quicker for users to find answers.
For what it's worth, I think we fall somewhere between the two. Obviously, some people will still ask the #1 question no matter how obvious you make it. But I do think that there's nothing wrong in making things stand out more, especially when conventional forum layouts become so boring that people fail to see the useful information.
Someone clearly updates the announcement bar. This stands out. Couldn't they also pick out topical discussions with links to workarounds? e.g....
Nikon D750 support will be available with Camera Raw & DNG Converter 8.7. Release candidate available from Adobe Labs.
Canon 7D mk.II support will be available with Camera Raw & DNG Converter 8.7, but is as yet unsupported.
Camera Raw updates are released every 3–4 months. Camera Raw 8.6 was released on July 28 2014. Camera Raw FAQs. -
Does anyone else have this problem? Or better still, have a solution?
Never point Bridge at a camera card.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
• Drains the camera battery
• Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
• Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
• Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card
