Aperture support for Nikon D7100?

Lightroom now has support for Nikon D7100. Does anybody have any suggestions when Aperture will provid support?

There has always been, and likely always will be a bit of leap frog, one upsmanship with the timetables for competing developers when adding RAW support for new cameras.  None of the developers who offer solutions for RAW processing have the market cornered in this respect.
While I too have concerns ... it should be pointed out that the view across the fence is not as attractive as one might think.
On Oct. 23, 2012, Apple added RAW support and tether support for the Nikon D600 ... while Lightroom did add RAW support for the D600 about the same time, Adobe has yet to offer tether support for the D600.  In fact, Lightroom only supports a small select few cameras for tethering.
Of course this may not be of interest for Aperture users who do not rely upon the tethering feature ... I simply point out this situation in order to illustrate that Lightroom is not a panacea of perfection ... and don't get me started on how horrid the Lightroom Slideshow and Book modules are compared to what Aperture offers.
Likely, Apple will offer an update sooner rather than later.

  • Lightroom 4 support for Nikon d7100

    What am I to do with my photos if Lightroom 4.4 does not include support for Nikon d7100?

    After a few false starts, I've successfully brought RAW files into Lightroom 4, by using a method that basically tells Lightroom that the camera is a Nikon D5200, which apparently has the same DX 24 megapixel format.
    Check out the site below:
    http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/graphics-programs-photo-gallery/320908-how-open-d7100-r aw-files-lightroom-4-a.html
    1. Download a free copy of exiftool and install
    2. Copy your NEF files to a directory specifically for changing the file metadata to say D5200. Only put those NEF files in this directory, nothing else.
    3. Run the program as described in the link above, specifying the exact location of the directory with your copied NEF files. Very important: for it to work if there are any spaces in your directory name, you must put quotation marks on either side of the directory location or it won't find the directory. I also found that all details, including exact spacing, is important in the command. So after "Nikon D5200" have a space before -ext. (Feels like being back to the C prompt days!)
    If it finds your directory and it runs properly, the original .NEF files are renamed .NEF_original, and the new files that should work in Lightroom are named .NEF. My guess is that if the command doesn't run properly you could rename your original files back. But it's much safer and quicker to copy the files from your memory card to your hard drive, and if anything doesn't work right or creates unreadable files, just delete the files in the new directory and try again with new original copies.
    I did this on a Mac, but should work as well on a PC. For Mac users who haven't used it, Terminal is an app that comes with the Mac. Just find the terminal app, open it, and put in the command line shown in the link,  referencing the directory you've put the files in in quotes.
    Good luck!

  • RAW support for Nikon D7100

    When will Apple update RAW file support for Nikon D7100?

    Just tried the exiftool workaround hinted by cakos and I'm happy to report I can now see the photo taken with Nikon D7100 on the screen.  However, my versions of Photoshop (CS5) and Lightroom (3) couldn't be tricked into believing the picture was taken with a D5200 and refused to open it.  The same happened in Apple Preview running on Snow Leopard.
    But Preview on Mountain Lion did a better job and opened my .NEF file without any problems so I exported it to .tif and that made it possible to load it in the Adobe programs.
    Oh, and this is the command I've used to override the camera model entry in the RAW file:
    $ exiftool -Model="NIKON D5200" DSC0001.NEF

  • 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.

    Elements 10 will not open NEF files from my new Nikon D7100. It opens those same type of files from the D7000 and the D800.Does this mean I will need E 11?

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is this the update that you tried to download?
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.06
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1656
    What version of the operating system do you have?
    When you attach your camera do you see it in Finder?
    If so, you can import the photos into iPhoto this way:

  • Yosemite/Aperture 3.6 No Support for Nikon D810/ Raw-S Files ?

    I am thoroughly confused.  I only recently began "drinking the Apple Kool-Aid" and am quite disturbed to learn (after upgrading to Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) that Nikon d810 Raw-S files are NOT supported....
    What gives ?  I mean you pay premium dollars for what is allegedly a premium product (MacBook Pro - Retina latest edition) you have the latest/ greatest software (Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) and the latest/greatest camera (Nikon D810) and one of the file formats is simply "Not supported ?"  Seriously ?? 
    I have had more compatibility issues with Apple and its software since being convinced by all the marketing hype to "drink the Kool-Aid" than I ever had with my ancient Dell XP PC laptop.... 
    Getting back to the point.  Why no Raw-S Support for Nikon d810 ? 
    Will there be support for the Nikon d-810 Raw-S files at some point ? If so, when ? 
    If not, WHY ? 
    What should I do with the 400 photos I took of a high school hockey game in Raw-S format given I am now drinking only the "Apple Kool-Aid?"
    Signed....

    Apple can't release it until Nikon supplies them with the required information.
    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Tethering support for Nikon D610

    When can we expect to see tethering support for Nikon D610 ?

    Read the release notes carefully and you will find that (and the same as has always been) cmaer support was added for Camera Raw which means file type. Tethering support has always been later after Nikon release their tether support data. It will be som time in the future.
    You can always use Aperture (not much use if you have a PC) or any other software that works, that is your choice....

  • Could Adobe please advise if they will be adding tethering support for Nikon D600

    Could Adobe please advise if they will be adding tethering support for Nikon D600 as it is instrumental to our decison regarding purchase.
    Many thanks

    Nobody is happy with the answer about old software not getting updated with new cameras, but if you look into it, Adobe had to lay off about half their employees over the past few years to keep the company viable in the declining economy, so they don’t have extra people to update and test plug-ins for non-current versions, and if they did, then some people wouldn’t buy the newer version and they’d have even less money.
    Adobe has only just gotten the D600 supported for raw format in their current beta version of LR, which affects everyone with a D600, and if they had to wait for Nikon for supply and SDK and also have to prioritize their work to keep things on schedule, tethering is likely to lag behind raw-file support for any particular camera.  Apple controls their entire computer environment, hardware and software, so it’s not surprising they can implement tethered capture from day one, but Adobe must figure things out for OSes they don’t own, both Mac and PC, so they rely on waiting for Nikon to do things for them, and then figuring out how to get it to work.
    Well boo hoo for Adobe ... life sure is tough for them ... if they can't handle the load maybe they should get out of the business of software development ... They can't be all that worried about revenue to support Lightroom development or they wouldn't have reduced the price of the full version by 50% and the upgrade price by 20% ... it was a less than smart move considering they have been bragging for the past couple of years about how many more folks use Lightroom vs. other competitive options ...
    Aperture 3, Capture One both have tether support for the D600 ... and many more cameras than are supported by Lightroom ... those developers are working and engineering solutions in the very same economy as Adobe (and C1 supports both platforms as well, costs much more than Lr and employs far fewer engineers) ... why aren't they suffering from the same lack of support? ... or using the camera makers to deflect blame for the lack of results?
    Excuses are not solutions ...

    Need RAW/NEF for Nikon D7100 updates for Photoshop element 9

    There are no updates to PSE9 that handle D7100 RAW photos.
    You need to either:
    Donwload and use the free Adobe DNG converter version 7.4 or 8.1 to converte your RAWs to DNG, which you can use in PSE9
    Use the camera manufacturer's software to convert the RAWs to TIF

  • Tether support for Nikon Df

    How long before lightroom will do tether support for Nikon DF?

    That is a question that you will never receive an answer to from Adobe. Not all cameras are supported for tethered shooting. [IF] the Nikon DF is ever supported for tethered shooting, it will be supported when it is. That is the only answer. I know, it doesn't make sense.

  • When will Aperture update for Nikon D810?

    When will Aperture update for Nikon D810? 

    Must have been some older pasts as Aperture is going away.
    Surely they aren't jumping to Aperture now knowing this...
    Yes !
    Many are opposed to the monthly subscription fees.  I recently purchased Aperture knowing it will be discontinued.  I weighed all the alternatives and Aperture still seem the best.  Apple has said it will be updated for Yosemite (if necessary). That gives it at least 3 years of usability.
    Moreover, iPhoto is also being discontinued.  Because iPhoto and Aperture use the same file structure I am hoping that the new “Photos” program will be an easy transition.   My two MUST HAVE requirements is the ability to disable Faces and display Keywords under the thumbnail's.
