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.

Please provide support for Sony DSC-R1 RAW files

Dear Apple employee,
If by any chance you happen to read this topic, would you please forward this information to the Aperture team?
Some users need support for DSC-R1 Raw files in Aperture. Please do something.
Thank you.

I can't believe that Apple can't take the time to support the DSC-R1...when I saw the new OS and 1.5 release I had high hopes, which gave way to dismay.
How can they support a so-so cam like the A100 and ignore the R1? I have Bibble Pro...they have no problem supporting the R1 and many other cams that Apple's radar can't seem to pick up.
This is really driving me nuts...Apple, how about listening to the rest of us?
Anyone for approaching Apple and/or the Aperture developers as a group?

Proper support for Fuji EXR Raw Files

There is still no proper support for Fuji EXR Raw files. On any Fuji X-series camera, the in-camera raw processing, including specifying options always outputs a far superior image that Adobe Camera Raw 6. I've been using an X100 for some time now, and have really gathered some great images with it. But Adobe Camera Raw fails miserably to understand how to process these files.
This is more of a complaint and feature request than a question, because I already know the answer. Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
The EXR pixel arrangement offers new possibilities, especially the ability to take an HDR image of a moving subject, and without a tripod. The elimination of the low-pass filter allows for more sharpness, and finally the noise pattern is much more "film-like".
I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
Adobe: Please work with Fuji to bring world-class support for EXR Raw images.
Thank you,
William

Good day!
Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
There seems to be a reason why Adobe has to reverse engineer RAW formats – the camera manufacturers don’t want their customers to use Adobe (and other) software to process their RAW files. (If their proprietary software gets better results then that’s understandable, but for how long are they going to support their own software?)
Now maybe Fuji is more cooperative than others, but do you know that for certain?
I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
If the new/improved features of Photoshop CS6 have no significance for the way you process, manage, edit and touch-up photographs feel free to stick with whatever version of Photoshop you use currently, but be aware that hardware/OS changes on your side may some day make that version inoperable on your set-up.
Also the upgrade path has been cut down to one version, if I understand correctly.
Anyway, this is a beginners Forum, feature requests might be better posted over at

Where is Aperture support for raw files from Leica X Vario?

Where is Aperture support for raw files from Leica X Vario?

It doesn't appear to exist, at this time:

Aperture 1.1......still no support for Fuji S2 and S3 Pro!!!!

I just got the 1.1 update but i was devastated to see that Aperture is still not opening the Raw files of two of the most used camera among professional:Fujifilm S2 and S3 Pro!!!
Even if i convert the files in DNG it doesn't support them
I would like to know how can Apple describe Aperture as "Designed for Professional Photographer"..............
Just look around, all pro application like Capture One or Camera Raw support those cameras,even the beta version Adobe Lightroom does it
There are not excuse for this..... not anymore
Thanks
Ettore

Ettore, It is clear that 2 things shape the Apple
product pholosophy with "pro apps"; A total
disregard of anything that does not guarantee a
corner on the market and support of any system that
does not lead directly to a hardware sale. The very
poor handling of the bugs/deficiencies of Aperture,
the poor (read nonexistent) communication with end
users
You mean like the mesages from Joe Schor on this forum? Or the whole web page announcing 1.1 features? Those non-existant communications?
and the total disregard of what real
professionals tell them
You mean like focusing the 1.1 update on better RAW conversion quality, performance, and the addition of DPI features everyone was asking for?
Given that Apple cannot fix every single problem I'd say they worked on exactly the problems bedeviling the most users.
The disregard for Fuji RAF files is
not surprising in that context.
No, it's not surprising because (a) it's not Canon or Nikon, which most professionals are using, and (b) because the Fuji sensor is unlike other sensors and is therefore not quite as easy for Apple to use similar conversion techniques.
The same can be said
of Bibble and others, and their lame protestations to
the contrary will fall on deaf ears. Like you said,
Lightroom, which is still in beta supported fuji raw
right from the start.
Which is because (for better or worse) Lightroom sits on top of the ACR conversion engine that has been in development for something like three or four years! Give Apple a little time to add other cameras, in the meantime bug Fuji to push Apple to add support!
<...>
The geniuses at Apple will find
that working pros pick the tools that help deliver
the goods to the client
<...>
Yes they will, which is why Aperture has been so popular and will be even more so with RAW conversion quality addressed.
<...>
Thank goodness their are other software products
available that come from companies that DO listen to
their customers.
<...>
Yes, like Apple. All indication are that they do indeed listen to user feedback (indeed Apple reps themselves have said so) and the end results of updates also indcate they are listing. At PMA every single half hour presentation ended with "Send us feedback because we are listening".
I don't think it's fair to tag Apple with being hopelessly out of touch with users just because they will not fix the only problem you care about.
My camera is not supported by Aperture either, but I realize the reality of owning a camera that is not Nikon or Canon in today's market. Until then I simply import 16-bit TIFF images into Aperture and use it from there. Not having your camera supported directly is not really that great a limitation.

Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

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.

Fuji X-E2 raw file help

So, I updated from my X Pro 1 to the new Fuji X-E2, now LIghtroom doesn't recognize the file. I have a Lightroom 5 that I can install, but it wants a newer version of Windows. Is it possible to get the new Fuji X-E2 files to be read in Lightroom 4? Please help, this is very frustrating.

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The link above will provide details of the cameras that are presently supported by Lightroom and which version.
Lr 4 requires Windows Vista or later.
Support for the Fuji X-E2 needs LR 5.3 or ACR 8.3.
To get LR 4 to work with Fuji X-E2 raw files you will have to use the Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to convert the Fuji Raw files to DNG and then import into LR 4.x

Does Aperture Correct Lens Distortion with Panasonic Raw Files?

I have a Panasonic GF1. When shooting in JPEG I know that the camera adjust for barrel distortion on the saved image. However It does not for RAW images as far as I know.
I am aware that Adobe reluctantly added the software correction to Adobe Camera Raw for Panasonic cameras that need this for their RAW files to look correct, even though technically the file is no longer RAW after this adjustment. The information needed to do these corrections is encoded in the RAW file. So! I am wondering if Aperture does this correction to imported RAW files now that it supports The GF1?
Heres a more in depth look at the distortion issue: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/PanasonicGF1/page19.asp

As a DMC-G1 owner, I thought that RAW conversions were fully supported now. Turns out that my perception seems to have been only partly true.
I fired up SilkyPix again (thought I'd seen that for the last time!) and checked what corrections it offers. In the 'Lens aberration controller', there are three controls: Shading (angle and amount), Distortion (distortion rate and centre) and Chromatic Aberration (R rate and B rate).
Aperture only exposes controls for the [Chromatic Aberration|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#cha pter=17%26section=11|Working with the Chromatic Aberration Controls] (red/cyan and blue/yellow) - this can be applied globally or brushed in selectively.
There doesn't appear to be any access to shading or distortion as there is in SiklyPix, though - at a quick glance and I could be wrong - Aperture's [Devignette|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#ch apter=17%26section=4|Working with the Devignette Controls] tool appears to provide a similar function to the description of the Shading tool in SiklyPix.
If there's distortion correction automatically going on behind the scenes - you did mention the embedded correction information in the RAW file - then it's not obvious. There's certainly no user control that I have seen.
Hope this helps...

Gary

Aperture support for Nikon 1 AW 1

Is there Aperture # support for Nikon 1 AW 1 .nef file format??

Frank
The AW 1 became available about the first of November.
I'm running Aperture 3.5, OS X Mavericks 10.9, and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.01
What is surprising is that I understood that the AW 1 contained the same sensor etc of the V2. It was the waterproof shockproof body that was the big change.
Thanks for the quick response.

Aperture support for AVCHD?

I imagine aperture supports video as well as photo files. But for some reason I cannot get Aperture to recognise my video files from my Sony 5n shot in AVCHD. Is there a particular way to import these files?
Thanks

AVCHD is a very compressed HD quality video format. It's designed for creating material to be edited and then the edited version to be exported to a more usable format.
In Video it's common to think in terms of Production and Delivery formats. Production Formats are massive because video creates huge amounts of data. (For instance, an hour of miniDV - a compressed standard def format - will use about 13 gigs of disk space.) But Production formats are editable at high quality. So the practise is to shoot in production format, then edit, then export the edit to a compressed format like mov, mp4, avi etc. These Delivery formats are excellent quality for viewing, have (relatively) small file sizes but are not good for editing as they are lossy and heavily compressed..
So, if you're not shooting to edit use the other video format on your camera - mov, avi - and if you are shooting to edit, bring the material into your editor - FCP, iMovie - and add the finished product to Aperture.
It's broadly analagous to shooting in Raw, processing and then outputting to Jpeg...

HT1338 My fuji x100s has RAW file compatibility issue with OS 10.8.2

My fuji x100s has RAW file compatibility issue with OS 10.8.2, my iphoto11 cannot recognise the file format. Anyone know of this issue too? Appreciate if anyone can offer some helps. Thanks

Correct. The Fuji X-100s is not currently supported by iPhoto or Aperture (or the RAW converter in OS X itself). You can submit feedback via iPhoto and request this.

Is there a download for lightroom2.7 that will allow it to use camera raw for a Canon T3i raw files?

Thank you for the imput. I don't know what you mean when you say LR doesn't use Adoble Camera Raw. My LR2.7 is able to process raw files from my 20D. I don't care if it does it with ACR or some other processing software. The issue is whether whatever software is used by LR can be updated to deal with new camera raw files. It is pretty annoying if it cannot be. I would even pay a reasonable amount if that were necessary.
ACR is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements which enables users to work on raw images from supported cameras. All of that technology that is in that plug-in is part of the Lightroom program, the plug-in is not used by Lightroom. ACR must be updated approximately 4 times each year in order to add support for new cameras and to make other changes in the plug-in. In order to get those changes in Lightroom, it is necessary to upgrade the entire Lightroom program. Interim releases are made available to Lightroom users who have purchased the program. For instance, if you purchased Lightroom 2, then versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. are all available to you at no cost. But when Lightroom 3.0 is released or 4.0 is released, then it is necessary for you to purchase an upgrade in order to continue to get the updates.

Fuji x-trans raw files import extremely slow

WIn 7 pro 3.6 AMD quad core 16 gb ram 1.2 tb raid 0 WD Velociraptor drives. Lightroom 5.6
I have a fairly quick system and my 24mp Sony raw files import and render full sized previews reasonably quickly -but it takes about 5x longer for my Fuji X-T1 raw files to import and render full size previews. If I import into Capture One Pro 7 or 8 or into Photo Ninja both the Sony and the Fuji files import and render previews quickly. It is only Lightroom that is so incredibly slow with the Fuji raw files.
I have used LR since version one and my files have always imported reasonably fast , however, the Fuji raw files have been slow to import from the very first import. Ex - yesterday I imported 312 raf files (Fuji raw files) and it took 31 minutes to complete. I also imported 257 Sony raw files and the import plus full sized preview rendering was completed in just under 5 minutes.
Am I missing something in the preferences or import workflow?
Thanks for any help
BOb

Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
The setup is identical as when I work with my Nikon-files; I always start by "manually" copy the files from the memorycard to correct location/disk.
In LR I use the "Add" option when I import to my catalog, so the file transfer is not part of the equation....
Even the large files from Nikon D810 is faster to "add" than the files from the X-T1.
But, as you write, it might come down to X-Trans-files (RAF) is not as optimal for Adobe processing as the Nikon raw files (NEF)...

Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.
