Aperture not reading lumix lx7 raw files

I have installed updated Aperture from App store and it and IPhotos in my GMac5 arent recognising the RAW Panasonic Lumix LX-7 files: it keeps on importing them and then stating that this is an unsupported file type but on the Mac site it is stated that it supports this file and this camera.
What might be going wrong?
This is a new camera and I cannot load any files on to my computer.
cheers

GMac5
What is your MacOS X version, Mark? And what Aperture version have you upgraded to?
The raw support for LUMIX DMC-LX7*** hast the following footnote:
*** Requires Aperture 3.4 or later.
Aperture 3.4 requires:
OS X Lion 10.7.5
OS X 10.8.2 or later
And to install 10.7.5 you will need:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor

    I don't believe pse 9 will support the final released version of the camera raw 7.2 plugin either, will it?

  • Cs6 raw plugin not recognizing lumix g5 raw files

    I just installed cs6 on my computer which is not connected to the internet. The camera raw plugin does not recognize my lumix G5 camera raw files. I tried downloading and installing what i think is the most recent raw plugin, but it still does not recognize the file format. I have installed the dng converter which does recognize these files but that's a clunky work-around. Any ideas on what I should try next?orwhere i can find the most recent raw plugin for cs6?
    Best, David.

  • Lightroom not reading my NEF/RAW files

    I have Adobe Lightroom version 3.5. When importing my RAW/NEF files, lightroom says my "the following files could not be imported because they cannot be read." I use the option "convert files to DNG" upon import.
    Any help?? I have a Nikon D5100.

    The default in Lightroom is to copy the files to the pictures folder (which generally has the right permissions) in your home directory but that is something that you generally choose in the import dialog so you should check where Lightroom is trying to copy the files to. If it gives this error on import, I would check whether the raw files are OK on the memory card itself. Copy one over using the finder (so don't use Lightroom as an intermediate) to your harddisk and double click on it to open it in preview.app. If this is one of those cameras that does not support mass storage mode so that it doesn't show up in the finder, use the system included Image Capture app (in the /Applications/Utilities folder). Opening the file in preview will use the system libraries to render the raw files and will check whether the file was corrupt to start with on the memory card.

  • Lightroom 3.4.1 will not read Olympus E5 Raw Files

    I have been using LR 3.4.1 since it was released. I tried out the Olympus E5 in a camera store yesterday, formated the card, set it for raw, nothing. I'm running a mac, and the images don't even show in finder. Anyone have an idea what could be going on. 

    The icons don't matter as they have nothing to do with your issue.
    You didn't answer the questions I asked earlier. Without answers we're trying to guess what it is that you're actually seeing.
    Again, the question was - do you mean that the files don't appear at all or they have generic icons?
    Also, how are you copying the files from the memory card? Direct cable conenction or card reader? Are you importing via Lightroom or just dragging them from the memory card to the hard disk.

  • Cannot read Cannon S100 RAW files on Aperture

    Aperture cannot read canon S100 RAW files even after the latest update. Cannot install old updates once the latest is installed.
    Should i try to reinstall Aperture and download the specific update for the Canon S100? or does the latest update include old ones?
    Thanks,

    Not sure now the link I posted got changed but here OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats is the correct link.
    If you are running the latest software (BTW what version of Aperture are you running?) and still cannot see the raw files from your S100 try opening them in Preview and see if they work there.  If they do not work in Preview also then as was written above you probably need to change the settings on the camera.

  • Why Aperture doesn't send the RAW file to Photoshop

    I've seen the complaint about Aperture not passing the original RAW file to Photoshop in several places in this forum. I think I have a reason for why Aperture doesn't work this way.
    The reason has to do with the 1st law of digital RAW photography. "Never, ever, overwrite the original RAW data from a camera's RAW format file."
    Because of the above rule, both Aperture and Photoshop do not actually work on the original RAW file. They transform the RAW image data into a usable image using user specified settings (which may be the camera's default setting for that image). The original RAW file is left untouched.
    When you open a RAW file in Photoshop and try to save it, you'll be prompted for a new file name. You wouldn't want to overwrite the original RAW file by writing the edited image data back to it.
    When you edit an Aperture RAW file using Photoshop as the external editor, Aperture first creates a TIFF or PSD version image file in its library and then passes that file name to Photoshop. Photoshop opens the TIFF or PSD file and directly edits it. Since this version file is already in Aperture's library, when Photoshop is finished editing it, Aperture automatically sees the edited file because its already in the library.
    If Aperture were to send the RAW file name to Photoshop, Photoshop would open the RAW file and create a new PSD file. When it came time to save your edits, where would you save it. In order to get it back into Aperture's library, you would need some form of Photoshop to Aperture communication so that Photoshop would know where to save the edited file and Aperture would know to add it to the library. This would require collaboration between both Adobe and Apple and doesn't seem likely.
    I have a couple of ideas someone can try. These are only ideas and completely untested. I'd do it myself but I don't own Aperture (see my computer info below for the reason).
    1. Create two folders with automator actions. You export your RAW files from Aperture to a "Photoshop-IN" folder. Any new RAW image found in this folder will be automatically opened in Photoshop by the Automator action. Then you save the edited Photoshop file into a 2nd folder "Aperture-IN". Another Automator action imports this into Aperture.
    2. In iPhoto, if you try to edit a RAW image with an external editor, iPhoto creates an intermediate image file (JPEG I think) which it passes to Photoshop. But, if you drag the original RAW image thumbnail from iPhotos library window to the Photoshop icon in the dock, the original RAW image file is passed to Photoshop. You only have the problem of getting the saved Photoshop file back into iPhoto's library. Maybe this same thing would work in Aperture by dragging the Master image to the Photoshop icon in the dock.

    This is all well and good. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of keeping the "master" sacrosanct. What I object to is not being able to do the conversion in Photoshop (or elsewhere)
    What I want is for Aperture to send the raw over to photoshop when I select "open in external editor", and then follow the current workflow (I do my edits, hit save, and a second master is added to Aperture's db.)
    It's totally possible for them to do this, and it wouldn't break anything in the system, or the philosophy. Of course it's a workaround that wouldn't be necessary if Aperture's converter were up to snuff. But it isn't, and I bet it would be easier to implement the workaround than to fix the fundamental defects in the converter itself.

  • How do I get LR3 and CS5 read Nikon P7700 raw files?

    Just bought a Nikon P7700 so I can use the Raw feature.  CS5 and LR3 do not read the P7700 Raw Files....does Adobe have an update and/or plugin for this?

    It depends.....if your normal route into PS is through Lightroom and the "Edit in..." process, then no you won't need to update PS as well as Lightroom will handle the Raw conversion. But if you have a need to directly open raw files into Photoshop's ACR plug-in, then yes you would need to upgrade PS as well.

  • What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

    What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

    The Camera Raw plugin is for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
    The functionality provided by Camera Raw is already built in to Lightroom.
    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 was first supported in Lightroom 4.2 so Lightroom 5 will be fine.

  • Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files support in Lightroom 4

      http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/07/camera-raw-8-6-and-dng-converter-8-6-now-a vailable.html
    The above says that Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files are supported in camera raw 8.6.  I specifically checked before buying the camera.  Everything I have ever read on the Adobe website for some 3+ years said that if a file in supported in Adobe Camera RAW, it is also supported in Lightroom.  Particularly, the above URL did NOT give any warning about the FZ10000 RAW files NOT being supported in Lightroom 4.  I went ahead and purchased the FZ1000, only to find I'm now having problem with Lightroom 4 not recognising the RAW files at all.  I'm really annoyed, as I was so careful to check the Adobe website first.  WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH CAMERA RAW AND LIGHTROOM?????

    I do appreciate the many RAW file formats being created by the camera manufacturers, as I have had varying cameras with the varying formats, and so am very aware of the whole business of making sure how those formats will fit into my software.  And, as already stated, appreciate Adobe's efforts to deal with all those formats.
    This whole exercise has been upsetting, and there has been some good advice and info provided in this discussion. 
    And unfortunately, some input that has been a little too technical and not particularly helpful.  I feel that some of the input was a little too critical and didn't recognise that maybe some of us aren't so are highly involved and knowledgeable in Adobe products and the technicalities of how the software works, dot versioning of software, executable coding etc. because we don't need to, and shouldn't have to.  I have bothered to learn Lightroom well in terms of its functionality including matters raised by you (eg making LRoom edits visible in other software, knowing that LR is not making changes to the actual files, rather they are in sidecar or xmp files etc.).  I have bothered to learn a reasonable amount of computer-related info to understand things in plain English terms, such as "to have PShop and LRoom to recognise my RAW files, I need to have ACR.  To have them run on my PC, they must be compatible with Windows operating system version xxx.  For many people, this level of knowledge should be enough.
    I have NOT said I expect Adobe to get advance copies of file formats from manufacturers;  I have NOT said that I expect Adobe to support every new camera model immediately.
    The technicalities of the coding and whether Lightroom "uses" the ACR plug in or not is not quite so much the issue, and I don't find the statement that "Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in" helpful.  I don't think it's really right either.  Lightroom - one way or the other - DOES "USE" ACR as the ability of Lightroom to recognise files is very much dependent on the version of ACR that you have.  LRoom may not use the ACR plug in as PShop/Bridge in the exact same way (eg for the actual editing of files such as exposure, white balance etc.), but Lightroom DOES USE the ACR PLUG IN.... in regard to the file recognition issue.
    And Yes....  I made a mistake.  Somehow, despite what I thought were good efforts to research the Lumix's support in PShop CS6, Bridge, ACR and Lroom 4, I got it wrong.  I will accept that it was my mistake and I'll accept my part in this, but I won't be made to feel that that it's been "totally" my fault, stupidity, whatever. 
    Thanks to all the people who have provided useful comment and input to my original question and subsequent responses throughout this discussion.  I will indeed now consider options like the DNG converter.  I was aware of the whole cloud thing, and had been thinking I would upgrade in perhaps a couple of years time (for both Pshop and LRoom) - I'll have to consider upgrading sooner rather than later. 

  • Lumix GX7 RAW files incompatible with Lightroom 4.4?

    Hello,
    I have used Lightroom 4.4 successfully with Lumix GF1 .RW2 files but I just discovered Lightroom 4.4 does not recognize Lumix GX7 .RW2 files.
    Do I need to upgrade to Lightroom 5? I checked for updates on 4.4 and I am up-to-date.
    Any advice would be helpful.

  • Will Aperture 3.0.3 Convert RAW Files for My New Canon S95?

    This camera was just released and, of course, isn't listed as being supported by Aperture. But, since it uses the same chip and processor as its predecessor, the S90, will Aperture recognize the S95's RAW images or do I have to wait for an update?

    Hi there!
    To answer your question, as I've just received my S95, I tested importing RAW files into Aperture 3.0.3 (since that is the only way to be absolutely sure of its behavior).
    So, Aperture 3.0.3 does NOT recognize the S95 RAW files (even though it shows the previews just fine).
    Using ExifTool, I modified the CanonModelID tag to "PowerShot S90" and imported the file again, which worked just fine (which confirms the proposed solution).

  • Aperture refuse to open the RAW files from my new Nikon D7100.

    Aperture refuse to open the RAW files from my new Nikon D7100. What can I do? Thanks for help!

    the raw support of new cameras will be made with a Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update not with a aperture update. But when the new RAW- Update will arrive is not sure.
    And that usually can only be installed with newer Aperture versions. You cannot use the latest raw support with Aperture 3.2.4, unless you are able to update to Aperture 3.4. And earlier raw support versions cannot be used with Aperture 2.
    See the footnotes on the Raw Support page  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html. That is why asked for the Aperture version.
    ** Requires Aperture 3 or later.
    *** Requires Aperture 3.4 or later.

  • HT4757 When will Aperture support Fujifilm X-Pro1 raw files?

    When will Aperture support Fujifilm X-Pro1 raw files?

    I firmly disencourage people to purchase Aperture these days.
    To everyone asking me for advise as a Pro photographer.
    Apple attitude on this issue is of abandonement and ignorance of users needs.
    Unfortunately, the feeling is that this is going to be the permanent standard.
    They are not providing translations, not providing support to models such as X-Pro1 that has received inmediate reaction from major developers, neither do care for users that openly claim for RAW support for an extended model as X-10.
    This is somehow another sign of apple arrogance in term of market predominant coompany.
    If Apple do not begin to lose sales and an importan market share this is going to be worse and worse.
    Best way: Ignore Aperture.
    Adobe is nowadays the ONLY option for photographers.
    I don't like Lightroom so I must select my shots with Photo Mechanic, or Xnview and then go to photoshop.
    Sick of Apple.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

    I recently tried CS6 Suite.  Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4.  However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4.  This did not fix the problem.  Can anyone help?
