Aperture & RAW photos?

Does the iPhone sync with Aperture like photo iPods do? And if so does it support RAW files (which current iPods don't)?

As long as you have previews for the photos, the sync should be fine. I shoot raw, and generally keep previews off. But I made a new album just for iphone syncing, dragged in all the photos I wanted (it automatically copies them in without removing them from their home projects) then updated previews, and then told itunes to sync with that new album. All went well.
Note that you can set the resolution of the previews and their quality in Aperture prefs. Mine are far higher than the iphones res. though I'm not sure they're downsampled for iphone's sync. They come out to about 124 k on the iphone, which I know only from emailing one back to myself and checking its size.

  • Why are Panasonic GX7 RAW photos not visible in Aperture but in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto?

    My Panasonic GX7 RAW photos seem to be visible in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto, but bizarrely not in Aperture (3.5.1).
    Does anyone know why this would be? Any solution greatly appreciated.
    I've been unable to mange a significant number of images for almost 7 months now due to Aperture's lack of GX7 RAW support and am seriously considering migrating to Lightroom 5. Aperture has been my workflow application of choice for the last 7 or 8 years, but I feel the current situation has become unacceptable and deeply disappointing . 

    That camera was supported in digital camera Raw 5.0.1 and Aperture 3.4.5 or later. As you say the files are supported in iPhoto it seems you have the right Raw file.
    Have you tried it with new imports in Aperture does it still fail? What if you reprocess the Raw files in Aperture, any change?

  • I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

    I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos in Aperture. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

    Should I create an Aperture library and import all of my photos from iPhoto to the new Aperture library? Then delete my iPhoto library entirely?  Just trying to get my library structure correct from the get-go as I plan to shoot only in RAW.
    That is not an easy question. There are still a few glitches with the unified library approach. For example, the new iWork applications will not yet show the Aperture library in the Media Browser, only the current iPhoto library. If you are using iWork with your photolibrary, keep it an iPhoto library.
    And it is unclear, what will happen, when Aperture or iPhoto will be upgraded to newer versions. Right now you need the latest iPhoto version to be able to upgrade older iPhoto libraries, if you want to open them in Aperture. So probably you will need to upgrade iPhoto as well, if you keep your library an iPhoto library, when both Aperture and iPhoto will be upgraded to Aperture 4 and iPhoto 12.0 or similar. In the long run it will be safer to convert the library to an Aperture library, if you do not want to keep updating iPhoto, but that can wait.
    If you want to convert the iPhoto library to an Aperture library, back up your iPhoto library.
    Then create a new Aperture library (with File > Switch to Library > Other/New ) and then import your iPhoto library into Aperture using the command "File > Import > Library" and select your iPhoto library.
    You will need plenty of space on the drive with the new library. Merging a library into another one will  temporarily a lot of working space and may take a long time - several hours for a large library, without visible progress.

  • When will aperture be able to use my raw photos?

    I have a panasonic dmc fz 35 camera that shoots raw photos. I noticed in the list of cameras that aperture supports that my camera is not one of them. I don't take a lot of raw photos but I do from time to time and would like to edit them in Aperture. Will aperture eventually carry my camera or will I have to edit my photos in Photoshop elements like I've been doing?
    Thanks

    This is a user to user forum. You'll need to ask Apple.

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.

  • When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
    I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

  • Can Aperture V. 3.4.5 read Panasonic GH4 Raw Photo Files? Is problem using Vintaged MacBook Pro 8  years old?

    Have vintaged MacBook Pro 15" running Mac OSX 10.7.5 but can't view downloaded GH4 Photos and all available software upgrades loaded?
    My GH4 photos show in aperture running on my iMac 27 at home (2-3 years old)? 
    Anyway to get the Vintage Macbook Pro and Aperture 3.4.5 to view the GH4 photos/

    That camera is not yet supported, see the list of currently available RAW support:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    It usually takes a few month after the release of a new camera for the RAW support to be available.
    But even, when the RAW support will  finally be released, it will probably require the latest version of MacOS X Mt. Lion or Mavericks - all recent RAW support has been released only for the newer versions of Aperture or iPhoto.
    As a work-around, use the software that comes with the camera (SILKYPIX) to convert your RAW to a different lossless format (e.g. TIFF)
      (Download SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Mac - RAW photo ...)

  • Raw Photo Processor (RPP) v Aperture?

    Anyone try Raw Photo Processor (RPP)?
    http://www.lexa.ru/andyt/RPP/
    Any significant improvement over Aperture?
    -Allan

    I must admit that I'm the RPP author
    I'd just like to make few points.
    1. It's hardly appropriate for me to discuss RPP here, since this is Aperture forum.
    2. Your position is pretty balanced and I almost agree with you except the part when you start guessing about philosophy behind RPP - there is no need to guess here, just ask me and I'll explain it. My email is available for everyone and there is even small support forum available.
    Overall, answering to the original question, my position is simple - just give it an honest try. RPP is free, supported and I strongly encourage everyone who cares to make their own educated opinion about it and choose accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • I have a canon 7d and my aperture version 3.4.5 is not recognizing the raw format? The Can not review any raw photo in the adjustments/raw fine tuning controls.

    I have a canon 7d and my aperture version 3.4.5 is not recognizing the raw format? The Can not review any raw photo in the adjustments/raw fine tuning controls.

    When i click on the adjustments everything is grayed out and the messages states " Image Not Found'.
    Are you seeing broken arrows or yellow warning triangles, when you enable badge overlays?
    That looks, like your original image files were missing.  Are your images referenced or managed?
    Create a smart album with the rules "Files status is missing" or "Files status is offline". This will show you any images, where the original raw files cannot be found.

  • Macbook Pro 13" for editing RAW photos on Aperture?

    My Macbook Pro 15" 2011 was stolen and I planned to replace it with the MacBook Pro 13" retina (like the size) - but then discovered that the graphics card was not the same.  I edit my RAW photos on Aperture.  Will I be doing the waiting game with a 13" or should I stick to the 15"?

    Thanks for the reply
    Know that I won't get same performance as 15".  i have an imac (2008) and find the processing of the RAW photos way too slow depsite upgrading the machine.   It works..... but I have to wait for processing.
    Have you worked with aperture in RAW on 13" retina - will I spend time watching the "spinning wheel" as it processes photos when doing lots of editing? 
    I was planning to buy to top of range retina 13"  - budget will only go to mid range retina 15".   Non retina macbook are not available new in South Africa any longer.

  • HT201071 I can't open RAW photos in Aperture nor Lightroom 4 in Maverick.

    Appreciate any help to import RAW photos taken with Canon 1Dx into Aperture3.0 or Lightroom 4

    Ah ha!
    At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
    Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
    I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
    If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
    Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

  • RAW Photos are "Unreadable" by iphoto6

    I can no longer import RAW photos into iphoto?
    I could import them just a few weeks ago?
    It won't import any kind of RAW file now. From my Canon, or my Sony or Photoshop RAW.
    I can even export an old RAW file from iphoto and it won't re-import this.
    The RAW files are okay. They open fine in Photoshop.
    I tried re-insalling using the combo update for 10.4.8 but that does not help.
    I also am having the same problem my Powerbook G4 too.
    Preview app will display the RAW files properly.
    Also, Aperture will not read the files either.
    Any suggestions?
    Does anyone else have the same problem?

  • Aperture make photos look bad!

    Hello,
    I use the import and i have all photos in a library,
    I click on a picture in the film strip the photo looks great for a few seconds. and it has a loading icon at the top of the preview picture then after its done the photo looks muddy crappy ect...
    It does this for all pic in the film strip.
    I was hoping uninstalling the program anf reinstalling it would help but it does not.
    I also used anouther mac pro with apature on it and it DID not do a thing to the photos, and the photos look just like what i took.
    Thanks Ralph

    Ralph, have you imported "Raw" images? What you are describing is very typical for Aperture creating new thumbnails and previews from the raw images, when it is loading the image for editing. Unitil you try to edit the image file, Aperture may be using the camera generated preview, that is showing all processing done by the camera, but the raw will not include any camera processing.
    Have a look at this thread for a discussion of the differences between camera generated previews and Aperture's previews.

  • Importing black & white raw photos doesn't work from a Canon Rebel XT

    I have a Canon rebel XT digital SLR camera. I usually take pictures in RAW format and they import fine to iphoto but recently I decided to change the settings on the the camera to take in black and white.
    When I import these RAW (cr2) black and white photos they come out in color.
    When I take the picture and view it in the camera's lcd, they show in b&w
    when I connect it to iphoto, and iphoto displays what is about to import, they show in b&w but once in the library they show in color!?!
    I've looked through the forums and I can't find any threads with this problem, any help will be appreciated.
    thank you

    Terrence's guess is correct. By definition, there is no such thing as a "B&W" Raw photo. All the data from the Bayer-matrixed sensor is there. (The Bayer Matrix has 50% green pixels, 25% red pixels and 25% blue pixels.)
    If you set "B&W" on the RAW file the software simply sets a flag. When you view it in-camera the DIGIC chip reads that flag and converts the file to B&W.
    iPhoto (Aperture works the same way!) either does not understand or ignores this flag and presents you with a color image. You are free to convert it to B&W if you want.
    Indeed, since there are limitless ways to conver the RAW sensor data to B&W, it is possible that you would not like the way that iPhoto converts to B&W compared to the Canon DIGIC method.
    If you really like the way that Canon converts to B&W, you will have to shoot JPEG, or use the software Canon supplied that should use the same algorithms to donvert to B&W and may honor the B&W flag.
