Apple Camera RAW updates without iPhoto or Aperture

I couldn't find a place where this really fits so I am placing it here.
I recently got a Nikon D90 and I take pictures in RAW format. I do all my editing in Adobe products so I have not bought Aperture or upgraded iLife. To be able to view the D90's files in CoverFlow and QuickLook requires the camera raw 2.3 update. However, you cannot install the update without Aperture 2 or the last year's iPhoto. This wouldn't be much of an issue since I don't generally sort my images in the finder, but every time I opened a folder with any raw files in it I would get frequent quick look errors popping up and the Finder would crash.
I fixed it by downloading the Aperture 2 trial so it would allow me to install the update...but it's ridiculous that I should have to have jumped through hoops to get the update installed.
Apple: Remove the iPhoto/Aperture requirement on RAW updates!

Well, my updates install without a problem.
"Camera RAW update" comes from Adobe and has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto or Aperture.

Apples, "Camera RAW Compatibility update" should install without a problem.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate25.html
The only time when I had a message "... not required..." was when I attempted to install the update while it was already installed.
Two things to consider would be; one, that the Apple's update doesn't work 100%.
It claims to provide RAW compatibility for Canon 50D, and yet the sRAW 1 and 2 don't show up in quickview or as icon preview (the full size RAWs do) - so maybe there's a similar issue with your camera.
Second, (if indeed iPhoto is needed to be installed - which I doubt, as I don't have it), extract iPhoto from your Leopard disc, install it, install the Compatibility update and then trash iPhoto.

  • Camera raw update without using iPhoto or Aperture

    I use Adobe LightRoom 4.4 for my photo editing and therefore I do not need Aperture or iPhoto.
    However, I would also like to see the RAW thumbnails in my Finder windows from my Canon G15.
    Is there a way to update the Digital Camera Raw without having to install (purchase) either of the Apple Applications?
    I'm currrently running Lion but am happy to upgrade to Mountain Lion if necessary.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, when I migrated my photos from my MacBook Pro to my IMac in January 2011 some of the last set of photos I had taken did corrupt and I only realised a few months later when I went to make a photo book and got a black picture with an exclamation mark as the originals could not be found.
    In my current reorganisation, I have copied the masters file from my macbook pro onto the external hard drive and the masters file from January 2011 onwards from my iMac onto the external drive also and filed all photos. I intend to reimport them from there, thus avoiding the corrupted ones.
    The iphoto version is 9.4.3 and the aperture is 3.4.5
    I now cannot open either iPhoto or the first library I transferred iPhoto photos to on Aperture. I just get the rainbow ball and it says 'not responding' so I have to force quit the applications. I send crash reports each time to Apple. I have iMac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    Hoping the new library I have built will work. Do you think I can import the whole lot into a new Aperture library rather than break them down into years?
    Thanks for your help Terrence

  • New Camera Raw Update doesn't support Aperture 2.1.4?

    I just did an OS update for Camera Raw and am now able to read my Canon 550D/T2i RAW files using Preview. However, in my Aperture 2.1.4, I still get "Unsupported Image Format". Does the update not support Aperture 2.1.4 ? I thought Aperture's ability to read RAW files is tied to the OS's ability.

    RAW support page is here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Note:
    EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4**
    Indicates it requires Aperture 3 or later.

  • Installed digital camera raw update 3.8, but Aperture doesn't recognize Oly E-P3 raw files

    I was excited to see that the digital camera raw compatibility update 3.8 purported to provide support for Olympus E-P3 raw files. I installed it from Software Update, and Aperture 3.1.3 (OSX 10.6.8) still showed the raw files as "unsupported". I restarted my Mac, got the same result. I downloaded and installed the standalone update, and again got the same result. Has anyone else had success with the update?

    I found a solution. My E–P3 raw files still showed up as “unsupported” after reinstalling the update from the standalone updater. I discovered that selecting one of the “unsupported” raw files and having Aperture reprocess it (even though it had never been processed at all) made the file recognizable by Aperture and allowed me to make adjustments to it. I then reprocessed all of my E–P3 raw files and the only problem I have noted is that the vertical files were not auto rotated.
    In reprocessing the raw files, I selected "only photos without adjustments" and "reprocess existing images". I hope this helps anyone who experienced this problem.

  • Camera Raw Update 3.7 installation in Aperture 3.1.2

    I am using Aperture 3.1.2, wanted to install Camera RAW Update 3.7 for processing of RAW files from Olympus XZ-1. Following error message appeared: Apetrure 3 or Iphoto 09 needed for this update ??? Somebody else met this problem ? Thanks.

    Of course, sorry, that I did not make it. I did upgrade Aperture to 3.1.2 first and then I wanted to upgrade Camera Raw Data 3.6.4 to 3.7 and the error message came I mentioned in original thread.
    To solve the problem I did experiment and downgraded Aperture to 3.1, upgraded Camera Raw Update from 3.6.4 to 3.7 without problem and after that upgraded Aperture from 3.1. to 3.1.2.
    That worked w/o problems.

    Hi,
    Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
    Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

  • Problems with Installing Camera Raw update for PSE 10 from Apple Appstore

    Hi.  Need some help, I have just bought Photoshop Elements 10 from Apple App Store directly from MAC.  I realised a few things
    1. That software directly downloads and i could not find any serial number for it
    2. That software does not include Organizer, or how do i access it.  It seems to be not the same as directly downloaded from adobe website
    3. the Camera Raw software 6.5 does not look like full featured, it has a number of missing tabs.  I tried to download the 6.6 Update and 6.5 Camera Raw Update but both could not be installed
    Appreciate some help.  Thanks.  [email protected]

    Chune Keat I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Camera Raw update 2.2 -- unsupported file formats

    As many user have posted here, after installing the latest Raw update from apple aperture and and all other core services became unable to read my Nikon D100 images. The file seemed fine since all other apps not based on core services worked fine. After reading some tips here I downgraded to the 2.1 raw software and everything was fine again. CLEARLY apple, in adding new camera support you introduced some sort of bug/problem. I know this was posted already but it did not seem to be generating much noise so I felt a need to keep the problem not 'under the rug'.
    Will

    Apple being aware of the problem is one thing, but customers are still being allowed to download and install this buggy version of Camera Raw update 2.2 without any warning of the consequences. The only place you can find any information about the problem is in this discussion and Apple have made no formal help documents available AFAIK. Pretty poor for a Pro App.
    It seems that not only are we beta testers for Apple, but also unpaid support staff.

  • Digital Camera Raw update 4.02

    is out in software update. I don;t see it on the Apple site yet however.
    This from software update

    Discovered that the problem exists only with E-PM2 RAW files imported into Aperture before applying Digital Camera Raw Update 4.02. (I had been shooting RAW+JPEG since getting the camera, while waiting for RAW support.
    Found a solution:
    Select all the problem files. Choose "Reprocess Originals" from the Photos menu. Done.
