Can't import raw photo files to iPhoto from my new Canon S90

Just bought a new Canon point & shoot, the S90. It allows you to shoot raw, which I did. When I went to upload the image files to iPhoto, I got an error message -- files could not be imported; they may be an unrecognized file type.
I've uploaded raw files from my Canon 40D SLR to iPhoto successfully.
Why the error message with raw files from a new point/shoot?
Greg

RAW support is specific to each camera and until Canon gives Apple the specs and Apple sees enough demand to move that new RAW above the others
See this Aperture thread for a long discussion including several hopeful long term solutions to teh entire issue of each RW being different - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2267766&tstart=0

PS - it took about 10 seconds to fond a google thread indicating that Apple does not yet support the S90

Importing RAW/orf files to iPhoto 6.0.4

I have a new Olympus SP500 UZ 6.0 megapixel digital camera - it is not on the list of "supported digital cameras".
However, I can download the pictures in RAW format using the software that came with the camera.
I can't figure out how to import them into iPhoto 6.0.4 once they are on my computer.
Is it possible or do I have to wait until this camera is "supported"?
I can't seem to import them into Photoshop or PowerPoint as well.
Am I screwed with trying to use this camera and my Powerbook?

If your camera is not supported, move the files to your desktop using Finder (if the memory card can be mounted). Then simply drag the RAW photos to the iPhoto photo pane, and release. It should import them. If you go into your preferences in iPhoto, and select the "Advanced" tab, you can specify that the RAW photos are saved as TIFFs within iPhoto, and also specify an external editor for RAW photos, such as Photoshop.

Can we import RAW photos into iphoto?

My brother-in-law has many photos from past reunions that are in RAW format. Can we import these into iphoto and have it work? I really want the photos but he thinks it won't work.
What are the steps? He says the file sizes are very large

That's not enough.
The Raw format of each camera model - not make, model - is different. So the Raw of the Nikon D40 is not the same as the Raw from a D60, which is different from the D80 and so on.
But hey, have you tried plugging it in and seeing if it will import?

Can't see individual photo files using iPhoto '08

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08
Now I can no longer see my individual photo files in the Finder window
I need to see these files because I lost (and then recovered) all my photos
Now I have multiple copies of each photo, including a very small size of each one which probably used to be the thumbnail but now is a "regular" photo in iPhoto due to the recovery process
I want to sort my photo files by size and delete the small ones to get rid of the small duplicates
I have too many photos to delete these one by one!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Thanks - Liz

You may end up having to export your photos, clean them up and reimport them into iPhoto to straighten this out - or maybe Old TOad will have already figured you problem out .

Can one import a photo without using iphoto?

I want to import photos into a keynote presentation. The only options from clicking on 'media' are to import from iphoto or photobooth. Can I import directly from the folder in which the photo exists, without having to import into iphoto first (which just adds an unnecessary stage in the workflow)?

Use +Import menu>Choose…+ or +command, shift v+.

Can't import a jpeg file to iPhoto

Hello,
I'm having trouble importing a jpeg file from another user to my iPhoto. We are both admins, file sharing is on for both users, read and write is on for both users. (I toggled file sharing on/off to see if it would update, and no changes).
In the file sharing, the shared folders are documents, pictures, and downloads folders. The jpeg file is filed on the desktop and in the pictures folder. When I do a File/Import to Library, and search for the jpeg file, it comes up greyed out.
My last option is that I emailed the jpeg from the other user's iPhoto to myself. I was going to go into my email and see if I could save the jpeg and try to import it that way?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you tried just dragging the file into the open iPhoto Library window? What version of iPhoto are you using?
What color mode (RGB, grayscale, CMYK, etc.) is it and what color profile is embedded (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Dot Gain 20%-grayscale, CMYK)?

Importing RAW format files into iPhoto 08

Hi Guys,
I searched the back catologue and couldn't find any refs so hopefully this is a valid new post.
I use iPhoto 08 on an iMac and have always worked with importing jpegs from my cheap but faithful old camera. I now have a nice sexy (& expensive) new camera & can take pictures in RAW format for increased quality. IPhotos tutorials say that it supports RAW but everytime I try to import some files I get a "could not import file" message against the RAW files. My camera automatically takes a duplicate jpeg each time I make a RAW exposure and they import without any problems. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Many thanks. Steve

What camera is it?
The Raw from every camera model is different - note that's camera Model, not brand - and has to be supported separately. So, the Raw from a Nikon D3 is not the same as the Raw from a Nikon D3s and so on - even though they both produce files with a NEF extension. Same with Canon and it's CR2 files and so on.
Raw support can also depend the OS and version of iPhoto that you have.

Can you import raw photos via a camera or card to the ipod?

I am considering buying an ipod classic, becuase I need to be able to store photos whilst on holiday to a large storage device. I suspect that I might not be able to view the files on an ipod, but I was hoping that I might at least be able to transfer them via a camera connector or some sort of card reader. I think you can do this via the ipad, but there just isnt enough storage space, and I dont want to take around something that large.

You used to be able to with the iPod Camera Connection kit, but unfortunately it does not work with any model iPod released after September 2007 including the 160 GB iPod Classic. I have not seen any other alternatives that would work.

I can't access raw photo files created with my Nikon D750?

the NEF files are not recognized by photoshop elements. I just upgraded from version 9 to version 13 thinking this would solve the problem... but still no luck in getting elements to recognize the files.

The nikon D750 isn't supported yet in the shipping version of camera raw, though the 8.7 camera raw plugin should be available soon.
In the meantime you could use 8.7 Release candidate dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 13 should then open.
(the 8.7 camera raw plugin on the following page won't work for pse 13, so you want the DNG Converter 8.7 Release Candidate)

How can I import .doc word files into Pages from Word 2008 for Mac?

I find that if I try to insert a .doc document from the earlier version of Word for the Mac, it works fine, but if I try to insert a doc which has been saved in "compatibility mode" as a .doc in Word 2008, Pages doesn't recognise it. I didn't even know there was any difference in these two kinds of .doc
Does anyone know a workaround?

I can open them as I go using an intermediate app (Word for choice as presumably it preserves more of the formatting than TextEdit), then I can just copy and paste the text into my Pages doc. In my particular case this is tolerable, but I have a friend who I assist sometimes who I know has a lot of these docs and so I wanted to find a solution for him before he asked me!
It just seems quite different from what Apple appear to be offering... I started this thread really to see if anyone knew the cause of this anomaly, which seems to be a fairly small bug in Pages. Anyway I think I will not get any joy trying to understand the difference between the two kinds of .doc documents (in OS9 I would have guessed it was the 8-character file signature that differed, but I don't think this works in OSX) so I will stop wasting bandwidth and set this to "answered".

Can't import Raw to Aperture

I have a Macbook pro with Mac OS X 10.7.5, with aperture 3.4.4 and can not import RAW photos from my Canon G16 camera.

The RAW support for Canon G16 is part of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 5.01
This bundle requires Mac OS X 10.8.5 or later or Mac OS X 10.9 or later to be installed. You will have to upgrade to Mavericks, if you want to use the RAW support for your camera.

Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!
