Aperture Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 Unsupported Image Format

Not happy to import my first RAW photos into Aperture 3.5.1 only to find it can't display them. I get Unsupported Image Format. I suppose this means I have to wait for a RAW compatibility update. Am I right? This is a new camera.

The list of currently supported cameras by Aperture is here:
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
And the subset available in Mountain Lion:   OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
I cannot find your camera on these lists. Your raw support version is the latest release, so there is nothing you can do about it, but wait, if  and when the camera will be supported by Apple. 
Try, if you can develope the raw with the software that came with your camera and convert it to TIFF or another lossless format, then import it to Aperture, or try, if the free Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh  can develope them.
Added: Apple does not support all cameras, but will give priority to the cameras that most likely will be used by professionals.  So it is a good idea to send feedback to Apple, to let them know that raw support for this camera is required.  Use this form:
Apple - Aperture - Feedback

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • Iphoto and panasonic lumix dmc-fz28 raw (.rw2) files support

    It appears that iphoto or max osx does not currently support the panasonic lumix dmc-fz28's raw format (.rw2). Is this true? If so, does anyone know when support will be available? If it is supported today, how do you make it work?

    Since even the most recent updates to iPhoto do not contain DMC-FZ28 importers for RAW, I use the free and EXCELLENT +RAW Photo Processor+ ( http://www.raw-photo-processor.com ).
    For a donation (I gave $10) it will add the feature to open the converted image into the program of your choice. Of course I use iPhoto, which it automatically launches and then imports the image to it's database. Since it also has both batch capability and the ability to pick the image next to the last RAW image in the directory of your previous photo, it's great for importing large numbers of RAW images into iPhoto.
    And the control it gives over your import is incredible, certainly on par with Adobe RAW.
    I actually found the settings I like best and saved them as a profile for my camera (it works automatically for all Lumix cameras, but you can tweak them quite finely).
    Another nice thing about this little app is it is both multicore and multiprocessor savvy. Since it allows you to pick apps to open the imported images in, there's no limit to the the programs you can chose to add to your drop-down list.
    It solved the problem for me!

  • Canon EOS 6D - Unsupported Image Format

    Hi,
    when I import RAW pictures from my Canon EOS 6D to the library, Aperture shows me this message: "Unsupported Image Format".
    I updated Aperture to the last available version (3.4.3 - Digital Camera Raw 4.00 - Build 658.1) but nothing changes.
    Any ideas?
    Thank's!

  • Canon 10D RAW - Unsupported Image Format??

    I have a folder of 66 Canon 10D RAW (.CRW and .THM) images. After importing to Aperture 1.5 I get 'Unsupported Image Format' for 29 of the images. If I try and open one of these images from the Finder in preview I also get a 'Cannot open' message.
    Strange thing is iView Media Pro, RAW Developer, Canon DPP, Phase One C1, Photoshop CS2 and LightZone can all open and view these files! Only Aperture/OSX (Preview) is having the problem.
    Any ideas how to 'recover' these images to Aperture?

    You are indeed correct .... shame on me for not reading your post carefully.
    Since you have .THM files, are you pulling the images into Canon's ImageBrowser or DP Professional before Aperture vs. importing direct to Aperture? The reason I ask is that iPhoto, Preview and Aperture all failing to read the same image is clearly systemic not application specific. It points to some level of corruption - - - as far as OS X is concerned - - - of the image and is obviously not application centric, save where the application calls on the OS support systems.
    Is it possible for you to generate .DNG's for the "Unsupported" images and try importing these? It may be the CRW wrapper that is somehow unreadable at a myopically detailed level that other imaging tools blythly (and perhapds more appropriately) ignore. The DNG wrapper may allow the RAW content to be then read by Aperture.
    Hopefully this is a more helpful response.

  • Why do G3 raw files show as "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture?

    I am moving towards shooting in raw, and as an experiment I imported some sample raw files from the publicly available text images on the Photography Blog. When I try to look at these images, I get a black screen with a warning triangle and the message "Unsupported Image Format". This happens for all the different raws, including some G3 raw files (.rw2). Oddly, it can read the EXIF metadata and has all the information about shooting settings etc. If I import the same files into iPhoto, it displays the images properly and allows editing, etc.
    I have a workaround, which I've also tried with my Fuji X10 raws (still not supported on MacOSX), of running them through the Adobe DNG converter, and then looking at the dng files which seem to work fine. But it's a pain.
    This has to be one of those simple "D'oh" things, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!

    Thanks Leonie, the second part revealed that I have been an idiot, although the behaviour is still surprising. The folder has a mix of DMC-G3 raws, Fuji X10 raws, and DNG files produced from both. For the Fuji X10 files, the DNGs produce images and the raws produce the "Unsupported file format" message. The latter is not surprising, the former a little surprising (as I've heard that DNGs only work when the associated raw works). The last two remarks don't directly address my problem (or perceived problem), but they perhaps set the frame for my expectations.
    For the G3 files, when I look at it more closely, the G3 raws DO display correctly, while the G3 DNGs give "Unsupported file format". I had managed to fool myself into thinking it was the other way round (Aperture does rather hide the full file name).
    So I was completely wrong, Aperture does support DMC-G3 raw, it's just it's DNG support that's a bit weird. However, it's on my side if I need to use X10 raws (via the DNG step). In fact so far I've given up the latter, as the noise levels are so much greater than in Fuji's in-camera JPEG conversion.
    So, thanks very much for your help. Now I remember the first rule of system support: never trust what the customer tells you! (I know you're not really customer support, but I guess the same rule applies.) Thanks again

  • Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

    I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
    This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
    I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
    Please help.
    William

    Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

  • 10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

    Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
    Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
    Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
    Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

    I have the same exact issue.
    I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
    Also the G9 raws are not working.
    Finally after 3 months it's still not working
    I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
    Are the D3, D300 raws working?

  • CR2 as "Unsupported Image Format" on Aperture 2.1.2?

    I just installed aperture on OS 10.5.5 and immediately installed the available update via Software Update. Then, I imported a day's worth of shooting from my EOS 1D Mark iii (one of the models listed on Aperture's Supported Raw Formats webpage - http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html). The .jpegs display fine but my CR2 images only appear as preview thumbnails - when I click on the preview a red box appears with the text: "Unsupported Image Format." I'm a bit incredulous that Apple would fail to support this enormously popular image format - say it ain't so.
    Message was edited by: Alexandra Latta

    Excellent information that confirms my experience. It has only happened to me in the midst of an editing session, and has always been corrected by a restart of the application.
    I don't know if it answers Alexandra's original question.
    I have also found that Aperture has gotten progressively slower over the last few months, perhaps a function of a growing managed library?? It's to the point where if I edit to fast, I'll start getting beachballs, and have even had the app quit -or go to the red screen/unsupported file type message.
    I don't have the latest machine, but it is a fast one, (Mac Pro Quad 3.0 Ghz 11 gb ram and the nVidia 8800 GT graphics card driving 2 23" Cinema Displays) My startup drive is a 750GB Seagate Barracuda partitioned 250/500 with everything but the Aperture library on the 250 partition (100 gb free space left) and only the Aperture library on the 500 partition (aprox 200 GB free). (there are also 3 more 750 gb drives in the machine for Time Machine & other stuff.
    This machine should be really fast (it once was) so I may be doing something wrong, but can't figure what is wrong.
    Is anyone aware of an article on speeding up aperture? My previews are limited to the default (2500 x2500 aprox) yet my activity window always seems to have a backup of previews to be built once I'm going in an edit session.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Aperture 2 Unsupported Image format?

    I'm a fairly new Aperture user, having received Aperture 2 as a gift and just installed it to my new iMac. When uploading RAW files from a Canon 5DII I get a message which reads: unsupported image format. I updated the app via Software Update in the Apple file. What do I need to do to get Aperture to work? I'm pretty sure it also won't recognize jpegs from my camera...
    Thanks for your help!!

    thanks.
    that's kinda my gut instinct about Ap2 and Lion too. I'm talking to Apple about this too but, guess what, they haven't come back with a conclusive answer yet - hence i'm scouring the forums to see if anyone else has already asked Apple the same question and got a definite yes or no out of them.
    i've bought and tested Lion and like many of the new features and dislike quite a few too, but given the choice, i'd probably stay on SL for Ap2 (and Front Row, Apple!!).   But my hand may be forced as my SL machine is dying and Apple say they won't repair but will give me a new MBP - which only comes with Lion - and Apple have confirmed that the new MBP firmware will not run SL...    hence my frantic scramble to see if I can still run Ap2 on Lion
    My gripes with Ap3 are too numerous to mention and here isn't really the place to discuss but biggies for me are the removal of gridlines from the Straightening tool and the removal of the ability to use a single keystroke to go from Ap3 windowed Browser mode to viewing a single image in Ap3 full screen - yes, you can go from Ap3 full-screen Browser mode to single image with a keystroke, but staying permanently in Ap3 full-screen Browser mode is not possible as many actions are not available in Ap3 full-screen mode and you have to go to Ap3 windowed mode to access them - in fact some actions actually kick you out of Ap3 full-screen Browser mode back into Ap windowed mode...
    if that makes any sense... had to insert 'Ap3' a lot to avoid confusion with the new Lion full-screen mode or i end up saying things like 'changing from Lion-Windowed-Aperture-Windowed mode to either Lion-Full-Screen-Aperture-Windowed mode or Lion-Full-Screen-Aperture-Full-Screen mode...'
    was hoping when they'd have tidied that up a bit with Lion - maybe Ap4?

  • Aperture 2.1.4 - 'unsupported image format'

    Aperture has suddenly gone haywire. All photos apparently lost as they all disappeared and 'unsupported image format' appeared for each one instead - but at the same time they are all showing in the thumbnails at the foot of the screen. They are all JPEGs. So I reinstalled the program, etc and now all photos reinstated except for all scanned images (from various Albums) and a few ordinary photos from one Album. Those exceptions are all JPEGs. I have tried the possible solutions on Apple's 'Aperture 2: Troubleshooting Basics' page but they do not help. Some, but not all, of the missing photos will also not appear when I go into iPhoto and go to File - Show Aperture Library. But some do. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    Thanks. The short answer is No. The best situation is from the most recently reinstalled version of Aperture where the result is as described in my previous post. Older versions all seem to be corrupted in the way I described.
    A longer answer involves another problem I had. I add geo metadata (probably the wrong term!) to my photos so that, when imported to a mapping program, they show where they were taken. Then, when I put those photos on my iPhone, the mapping feature (Places) also showed where the photos were taken. But then, without warning, all this data was lost from the phone and the mapping feature no longer worked, although it continued to work on the computer. I asked the Genius people at an Apple store about this, but they had no idea and could not help. Now, in respect of the photos restored in Aperture where the 'Unsupported Image Format' message no longer appears, the feature has started working again on my phone.

  • "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture and iPhoto....

    I recently purchased a Nikon D7100 and when I try and upload the RAW pictures to Aperture 3 and iPhoto it gives me the error message "unsupported image format".  It only happens with the RAW files, JPEG's are fine. Is this a problem with the program?

    You are just going to have to wait until Apple adds support for the D7100 RAW format.

  • HT4757 Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?

    Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?
    It's a good camera which I think has been overlooked in this area?
    Any advice you good people?

    Hello,
    I don't know when but you can send a message to Apple so they can add that in a next update (not 100% sure but you can try).
    Go here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html and in the Feedback Type select : Harware compatibility.

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • Aperture 2, OS 10.6.4, and Pentax K-x, creates unsupported image format

    Upgraded from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4, and started getting the "Unsupported Image Format" problem in Aperture again for my RAW DNG files from a Pentax K-x.
    The previous fix was to remove the Raw Compatibility Upgrade, and reinstall the 3.0 version. (3.03 was the installed version after 10.6.4).
    Doing this, I was able to view my images, but they show up as only 250 x 170 pixel images in Aperture metadata!
    File size is what it should be (~10MB), but they are dinky little images. What the heck?!!!
    Any ideas what's going on here?
    I would upgrade to Ap 3, but still see tons of people reporting problems with it supporting Pentax, especially color shifting of RAW images after upgrading.
    Suggestions appreciated!

    Hi David-- thanks for your advice. I have been looking into it further and it just gets more confusing. I am able to open all of these DNG files in Photoshop so the problem seems to be with some combination of the K-X, OS 10.6.4 and Aperture 2. I have gone so far as to purchase Aperture 3 but haven't opened the package yet. After hearing about your experience (not to mention the thousands of other complaints about Ap 3 performance I've seen) I think I'll take it back and make the switch to Lightroom 3. Lightroom's features may not be quite as good, but at least it seems to be stable and I imagine it will be able to read the DNGs since Photoshop does. I just don't have the energy to be constantly patrolling the state of my photo management program!
    I'll keep you posted on my experiments with Lightroom.
    Thanks again.
