Aperture RAW For Pentax 645D

Looking for advice - have a brand new Pentax 645D (from Japan) and Aperture 3 does not recognize the RAW files it produces. Any suggestions?

Shoot RAW, import using the provided software, convert to .dng and then import into Aperture.

Raw compatibility for pentax 645d coming???

does anybody know if apple is willing to include the pentax 645d? I am not really satisfied with the quality of lr 3 and unfortunately also CaptureOne doesn´t support my 645d.

Were all just users here with no more knowledge of what Apple is up to then you and Apple never lets on before the fact what cameras will be included in upcoming RAW updates.
In the meantime you could convert your RAW files into DBG's nad import those into Aperture. Keep the RAW files in case your camera gets inculded in the future.

How do I get Camera Raw for Pentax PEF file to open in Photoshop CS4?

How do I get Camera Raw in CS4 to recognize Pentax PEF files? I have downloaded and installed the Camera Raw Plug Ins but I still cannot open the file. I have done this on my older computer but can't seem to get it to work on my new one.

I just looked that up. You need at least Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 which only Photoshop CS6 and above has.
Adobe Camera RAW 8.3 include Pentax K-3 support - PentaxForums.com
So in order to read it in ACR 5.7, you will need to use the free Adobe DNG Converter and convert those Pentax raw files to DNG.

HT3946 Aperture 3 Support for Pentax K-30 RAW?

I'm curious about when/if RAW support will be updated for Pentax K-30?
Is there a Support Page for Aperture where one can submit support requests?
Thanks very much,
Also looking for awesome online training courses for Aperture, and RAW processing.

Paul,
see this page for the currently available raw support:

I'm curious about when/if RAW support will be updated for Pentax K-30?
Nobody here knows the answer to this; only Apple can tell, and this is a user-to-user forum.
To submit a request, use the Aperture feedback form directly from the Aperture application menu:

Support for Pentax K-5 RAW PEF wanted

Request to add support for Pentax RAW PEFs for newly released Pentax K-5. Needed much.

To send your request to Apple you really should used the "Provide Aperture Feedback" in the pulldown menu under Aperture.
This is a user to user forum where you are talking to other users like yourself and not Apple.

RAW support for Pentax K3

When will Aperture RAW support be updated for Pentax K3 be added? It's already on Adobe Lightroom....!

I my exeprience, I'd say when it's ready and not a moment sooner.
Lightroom is always pretty quick off the mark with support, but sometimes that carries a quality cost, like happened with the Fuji X100 and X-Trans sensors. Lightroom's support came out first, but Aperture's came out better.
I have a similar frustration having just bought a Sony A7. But I simply shoot raw+JPEG and use the JPEGs until the raw support is ready.
A side benefit of this approach is it makes you get to know the camera settings a little better in order to make the best JPEG.
If I have an emergency and really messed up a shot and need the raw to recover it, I use the raw converter supplied with the camera to make a better conversion in a TIFF and then add that to Aperture.

Aperture support for fuji X-T1 raw files

How quickly does aperture update for raw files for a recently released camera?

Thanks for the link, William. However, from the Aperture site, they don't seem to be in any hurry. The X-E2 isn't even listed there. It's hard to know which direction to go with Adobe costing so much more than it used to. Since I use layers and masks quite a bit, I need to update my raw converter, since I use CS5.

Does aperture 3.5 support RAW for Olympus E-M1

Does Aperture 3.5 support RAW for the new Olympus E-M! camera yet?
Thanks

I understand, why you are cautious with updates and do not want to jump on the bandwaggon, since you need to keep your equipment working. The upgrade to Mt. Lion is worth it. It makes Lion more usuable.
Why is EM-1 RAW compatibility NOT installable on OS 10.7.5...!
SInce Lion has Apple changed the raw support strategy. Raw support is now part of the operating system and no longer an update to the applications. Apple did not say why, we can only speculate - but this new strategy makes it possible to write the raw support, so that it will profit from the better support for multi kernel processors in the newer systems, so that raw developement can be computed more efficiently on the new MacPros.

RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)

Any idea when we will be able to see RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)? I know I can use DNG, but not PEF currently. I am assuming for DNG, there is no dedicated camera profile yet.

I figure:
* Longer than I can hold my breath
* Before the earth is swallowed up by the red giant of the sun.
That said, nobody here knows the answer. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Aperture RAW processing too dark?

I recently imported a set of pictures of my daughter into my Aperture library. Everything went smoothly and looked great with the previews looking like I expected. I even went through each picture one by one and flagged the ones I wanted to edit. After editing a few I went back again and looked at the unedited pictures to see if there were any more i wanted to flag and edit. Upon doing this, I noticed that after Aperture finished "Loading..." a couple pictures, they automatically got significantly darker. A couple of them to the point that adjusting "Exposure" to the highest setting makes it barely acceptable for use. On one picture I noticed got even darker after the 2nd "Loading..." process.
As a test I exported the originals to my desktop, loaded them in Lightroom, and voila, the pictures are back to their "non-dark" selves. Therefore, I believe this is an Aperture issue and I have no idea why re-"Loading..." the RAW originals would make an image even darker. I've attempted to reprocess the originals but it pops up that none of the images need reprocessing.
Any suggestions?

Are you using any in-camera post-exposure processing?
(Added:) Have a look at Keith Barkley's User Tip regarding setting your camera to get the best exposure in RAW for Aperture.

ITunes can't find Aperture Library for iPad sync

I just upgraded from iPhoto '11 to Aperture 3. When trying to sync my iPad, and telling iTunes to now sync photos from Aperture, I get the following message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
All well and good, but when I go to the preference pane in Aperture, I do not see the referenced option. Under the "Previews" tab (Aperture > Preferences > Previews) I see the options for "Share previews with iLife and iWork" (Always/When quitting Aperture/Never)--is that the preference indication they mean? None of those options results in iTunes being able to see my Aperture library.
Oddly, Aperture can see and import photos on my iPad that are not already in my Library, but claims it cannot send photos in the other direction because the library can't be seen. Frustrating

This is a repost from another thread dealing with what I think is the same issue. It is what ended up working for me:
I have gone through a lot of steps and they all seem to have inched me closer to resolving this issue. My original post may have been cluttered so I'll list the steps I took here. The final step, though very time consuming seems to have corrected most of the problems, though I think I now need to get Aperture to generate new previews for all of my images at a size that the iPad likes (1920x1920).
1. Set Aperture's preference to Always share with iLife applications
2. Set Aperture's preference to generate previews at 1920x1920 or better
3. Repair Permissions via the Aperture Library First Aid function described here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805). You may want to do one of the more serious Library repairs just to get things organized with the file structure system but "Repair Permissions" seems to have been all I need to do.
4. Go to the top of your image hierarchy and reprocess all of the images with the newest Aperture RAW convertor by control-clicking on Photos and selecting "Reprocess Masters"(if you shoot RAW... and you should shoot RAW). It gives you several options, I chose to preserve all of my edits which will add additional time to the process but is worth it so you don't have to re-edit everything. I selected "All Photos" and "Reprocess Existing Images"
If you have a large library (1TB or more) you are now two days or so into this process.
5. Back up your Vault to save these changes
6. Generate new previews since you changed the size in which Aperture saved the JPEGs it uses to export to Aperture. I believe this is done from the top of the image hierarchy as well by holding down the option key when you right-click on the whole library. But, I am not at this stage yet so I can't be sure about that.

When raw for panasonic lumix dmc-fz45, when raw for panasonic lumix dmc-fz45

When raw for panasonic lumix dmc-fz45?

We don't know Apple's plans - this is a User to User Forum. Send feedback to Apple that you want your camera to be supported.
The latest raw support has been released just two days ago, so it probably will be at least a month or longert till the next release. The list of currently supported cameras is here:

Aperture RAW profiles broken since 10.7.4 update

Since updating to OSX 10.7.4 last week it seems to have broken some of Apertures RAW profiles for some cameras.
My Nikon D700/D300 files are all fine but my RAW files for my Lumix GX1 are green!
I also get the message "This Photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing" and then it offers me the option to Reprocess.
This fixes the green issue but doing this file by file when you've imported over 100+ is a real pain. The RAW for the GX1 was supported and was working fine before updating to OSX 10.7.4
Any ideas whats going on?

See this support article: list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
The support for the gx1 seems to have been moved directly into MacOS 10.7.4, and for Aperture this is a change of raw support.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: Perhaps this will help:No guarantees, I never tried it:
