Can't import raw images

I want to import RAW images. Have always been able to import JPEG's to iPhoto.
Reformatted memory card. Took picture.
Picture appears visible on playback.
When I import, iPhoto says the image is unreadable.
What to do?

Preview - in your applications folder
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

IPhoto can't import RAW Images (HELP!!!)

Since I updated My mac to the new Yosemite software, I can't seem to import any RAW images.
It hangs and out of 100 images that im trying to import , only 2 are imported ( for half an hour ) and they are distorted
I 've reinstalled it and still the same problem.
I'm using a Nikon D610
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
looking forward for your help.
Thank you

First Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally.
If that doesn't help try either of these fixes:

Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
in response to ceylin.e
[DocumentBodyStart:3bf5afd7-94e9-4fb4-acfa-7aa13198efec]
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.
However, instead of Digital RAW Compatibility 6.0.1 download and apply Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 5.01
which is the updater specifically for D610.
or #2 - Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.

Can't Import RAW images on new Mac with Lion

Ever since buying an iMac in the summer with Lion installed, I haven't been able to download RAW images from my Canon 40D, either to iPhoto or Lightroom. My work-around has been to download to my iPad and then download from the iPad to the iMac, which has worked everytime except tonight for some reason... hence why I'm finally posting this. I can still download with out any problems to my Macbook with Leopard. I've found other posts with similar issues but no good solutions other then people switching back to jpeg... which really isn't an option. Any suggestions?

When I look into the System Library
/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle, I see the file has a date June,17,2011
Do you have the same RawCameraBundle?
Also you could try the

AE CS5.5 can't import RAW image sequence

Hi all,
I'm running a late 2011 imac full spec, with a CS5.5 retail version.
If I try to import a RAW (CR2) image sequence I get the following error: After Effects error: Photoshop file format error (-30504)
I updated AE and all other relevant software. It works when I tried it in AE CS6 (trial), it works when I convert the CR2 files to DNG files but I just want to be able to import a CR2 RAW image sequence.
Googling and searching the forums didn't help one bit.
If anyone has any advice that'd be much appreciated!
Regards,
Matthew

Import raw images from canon eos 1000d to aperture 3

Raw images from Canon EOS 1000D appear garbled tried using all (?) import methods without success. Camera on firmware version 1.0.7
HELP!
Geoff

Running Aperture Trial 3.1.2 all updates completed.
May have solved one problem & got another!
I can now import RAW images by selecting 'Raw' rather than 'Raw + L' on camera menu.This leaves me with all large files - potential future storage problem. Looking into this.
Thanks for reply though

How do I import RAW images from Sony NEX 5-R to iPhoto?

I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2 and have installed Digital Camera RAW compatability update 4.01 but still can't import RAW images from my new Sony NEX 5-R digital camera.. any ideas? I also have Photoshop CS6 - should I import through that if iPhoto isn't a feasible option..?

This is the list of currently supported cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
Note: 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:

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Importing RAW images into iPhoto5

I'm trying to import RAW images taken by my Canon Powershot S45. It says it's an invalid file type or invalid data. However, if I use the Image Capture application, the pictures come out okay. Of course, I can't import those images to iPhoto.
Is there a way to get around this problem?

clearlynuts:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. According to the iPhoto camera support page the S45 is not supported. You might do a search in this forum for S45 or Powershot S45 to see if you get any hits. It may be new and supported and you're just having a problem particular to you.

"unsupported image file" when importing RAW images from Olympus E-PL1

When I try to import images save in RAW format on the camera, the images import but they can't be displayed (all I get is a warning triangle with the words "unsupported image format" below it, though in the import preview the images are displayed properly.
EDIT: just noticed that the E-PL1 isn't listed as being supported, just the E-P1 & 2

Apple have just included RAW support for the Olympus E-PL1 with the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.3 - iPhoto can now import RAW files from the E-PL1.

Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

Importing RAW images on Yosemite from Nikon D3200

From the time i have upgraded to Yosemite, importing RAW images from the Nikon D3200 has come very difficult. The images come black and or pixelated and it then hangs the computer. I have to restart the mac, and then click on each 'black' image and click edit. I have update the Digital Camera RAW compatibility update to the latest but that has not solved the issue.

Either upgrade to Lr 4.x, or convert your D600 files to DNG, which Lr 3 can process.

Import RAW images from Sony A100 DSLR?

iPhoto 6 does not import RAW images taken with my Sony A100 DSLR. I can view the images with preview, so apparently Mac OS X knows how to handle them. But, iPhoto just says there are no pictures to import.
I installed the Aperture trial, and it handled the RAW images, as does the Adobe Lightroom beta4. But, not iPhoto6.
I am running all the latest patches, with 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro.
Does RAW work for anyone else with this camera? Any suggestions for workarounds?

I messed around with this a bit more and found that if I manually import the RAW images, it works fine. But, iPhoto still does not recognize new pictures and import them automatically.
I can also see them in Finder and Preview, so I know the OS support is up to date. Also, I tried it on my Mac Mini, and the mini recognized the raw pictures and imported them as I would expect.
The RAW updater only mentions Canon, Nikon, and Pentax as being addressed. I did install it, but it may not be necessary.
This article on Apple's site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303554
says you need 10.4.8 to support Sony RAW pictures.

Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images. I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw. I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw". I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images. HELP!! Regular Support is down for the next few days.

If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
Or use the Updater from PS help.

Imported RAW images are too dark

I'm using Aperture2.0.1 and importing RAW images from a Canon 1D MkIII. All the images are coming in significantly darker than they show in the camera's display. The camera's histogram shows that the images are correctly exposed but they require boosting in Aperture's Exposure panel of anywhere from + 1.15 to 1.5 before they look right in Aperture. That's quite a hefty shift. I get a similar situation in Capture One Pro but the same images right off the card look bang on in Canon's Digital Photo Professional. In Adobe Lightroom it takes a shift of only +.5 to get into the right range. The exposure settings for the test were done with a Sekonic L-758DR meter and manually setting 3 580EX's but the problem shows up in all kinds of garden variety shots with or without flash. My preferred app is Aperture but I'm sick of having to adjust all my shots to get them into range.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks,
Geoff

AMAZING!! Thanks for solving this mystery for me. Disabled the Highlight Priority and the shot comes into aperture looking like I it needs no adjustment. There are some clipped peaks in the histogram so there are some minor blown highlights. If I use Highlight Priority, it prevents the clipping and when I adjust the exposure level in Aperture the shot does look right without losing the highlight so Highlight Priority may be the right way to go when I'm shooting jewelry. But your post explains why the images were darkened.
Thanks again,
Geoff
