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

Transfer photos from camera to iMAC without using iPhoto or Aperture

Hi
I have been having all sorts of problems with iPhoto which seems to have collapsed on account of me having too many photos (250GB). I have been recommended to download Aperture which holds a higher capacity of photos, which I have done. I transferred my iPhoto photos to Aperture and Aperture promptly collapsed...! So, I am now sorting out my photos on an external hard drive and will then re-import them into new Aperture libraries for each year I think so that they do not get jammed up.
I am stuck however, as I am now trying to download photos from my camera onto the iMac without using either iPhoto or Aperture and I cant seem to find a way to do it. I have connected the camera and looked in Finder and Preview but cant see the device there to retrieve the photos from it.
Anyone got any tips?
Also if you have tips on what to do if you have too many photos that would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks

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.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4364
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 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.

As I mentioned, there is an error while trying to update photoshop, camera raw, etc. I receives message when you try to download the update, an error occurred. Exit and try again later.
What to do? Without Camera Raw update I can't open Raw files from my cameras. Guy from chat on adobe website just give me link for support website, it's ridiculous.

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

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

I am using Lightroom 4.4, I recently downloaded the latest Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4?

I recently downloaded the most recent Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4? My current Camera Raw plug-in does not recognize my new Canon 100-400mm lens.

Quote "I have downloaded the most recent DNG converter. I guess I was mistaken in thinking I could use this as a plug-in with LR. If I understand correctly, I need to convert image files taken with the new lens with the DNG converter and then load them in LR 4 in order to use the Lens Correction feature in LR. Does that sound correct?"
No, as far as I am aware the only function that the DNG Converter performs is to convert the raw files from a supported digital camera model to a DNG file format.
This will allow you to work with the DNG files in earlier versions of Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw that do not provide support for the particular camera model raw files. It has nothing to do with Lens profiles.

Which camera raw update do I download using a Canon SL1 and PE11?

I've looked at the camera raw update list and it tells me for my camera (Canon SL1) the minimun raw plugin I need is 7.4 It then says that PE11 came with version 7.1 and with my camera it's compatible with camera raw plug-in through version 8.0. When I go to the list of plug-ins to download, I'm still not sure which one I'm suppose to download. In short, I just want to be able to read my CR2 files from my Canon SL1 in PE 11. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
In the editor, go to Help -> Updates and it should download and apply ACR 7.4 which is the one you need.
To check which version you have, in the editor, go to Help -> About plug-in -> Camera RAW (click on the splash screen to get rid of it).
Hope that helps,
Brian

Error code when trying to install Camera Raw update 6.6 to CS5 Extended

I am trying to install the camera raw update 6.6 to my newly purchased CS5 extended and I keep getting an error code U44M2P7, or U44M1P7. I really need to figure this out because it will not read the raw files from my Nikon D7000 without this update. Business will be picking up for me in the next few weeks so I hope to get this figured out soon. Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, I run a Mac OS X v. 10.6.8

Have you tried to download and install directly from Adobe, instead of using the Updater in PS?

Camera Raw Update 3.3

Does anyone know why camera raw update 3.3 would not load to a Powerbook G4 (OS 10.5.8) running with the most recent version of iPhoto? Previous camera raw updates have been no problem but this patch states "Cannot Install on this Mac."

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Nothing in the download says you can't use it on a PPC system so ya got me.
What is in your Macintosh HD > Library > Updates folder?
Download the update manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1072
SafeBoot the system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
While in SafeBoot install the update.
If it works restart again normally.
Hope that helps.

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.
