Cannot import NEX-6 raw file (ARW)

I downloaded a Sony NEX-6 raw file (ARW) from dpreview to check out the image quality. But, Aperture does not "see" the file at all.
I have the latest Aperture 3.5.1 with Digital Camera Raw 5.04 (and Maverick) – and I have a Sony A700, with no problem importing raw files from that. According to Aperture support page there "should" be no problem with the NEX-6 camera.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Best regards, Magnus

So I tried with draging the image to the Aperture icon in the Dock – and that worked!   And, if I first uploaded the file to Dropbox, and then downloaded it again – then Aperture "can see" the file and I can import the image the usual way
Great voodoo, Magnus - did you swing a chicken over the mac as well? I am glad you could solve the problem.
Trying an explanation of what might have happenend:
Aperture probably will have hidden the image in the Import panel, because it erraniously recognized it as duplicate or an excluded file type because of a problematic file signature. Dragging to the Dock icon is forcing the import, even of duplicates or excluded file types.
And adding to DropBox and then downloading again may change file attributes. DropBox is syncing the files with the server and creating new copies. This may change the file signatures.
Added:  There is one thing, that is a bit disconcerting about the solution you now are having.  If you have to "convert" your raws by sending them to DropBox to fix the file signatures, or circumvent the Import panel by dragging to the Dock icon, there may be a problem with your "Import Presets.plist" or other cached preference files.
If the problem happens again, quit Aperture and trash this file "/Users/your shourt user name/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Import Presets.plist". Then reboot the system.

  • Aperture 3 problem with Sony NEX-5n raw files

    Hi all,
    I have a Sony Alpha NEX-5n camera and my brother advised to take the pictures in raw format in order to keep all the information the sensors gathered when making the picture. The problem I have is that the software Sony provides with the camera does not allow me to convert the raw files into other formats. I downloaded Aperture trial because my camera was listed in Apple webpage as one of the models that can use raw files with Aperture. My problem is that every time I try to import the raw files, Aperture tell me that it doesn't support the format, and I cannot open the photos in raw and therefore I cannot work with them. I can work with the JPEG, but that is not what I want.
    I wanted to buy Aperture, but there is no point for me to do that if I cannot work with the raw files. Maybe it is the trial version, but then Apple would be posting the wrong information in the webpage and therefore should remove my camera from the list (it doesn't say anything about apgrades or updates).
    Does anyone else have the same problem? Can anyone confirm that once I buy it, Aperture works with the raw files even if I have to update it?
    Thank you very much. I am a Apple fan, but if it doesn't work, I will buy Lightroom or Corel even if they are more expensive.

    Hello Savarena,
    Try to install the RAW compatibility update: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9
    - if is possible to do that with the Trial Version. This update supports your camera.

  • Sony NEX-5N RAW file not recognized

    I purchased and loaded from disk Adobe Elements 10.  When I try to open a RAW file (.ARW) from my Sony NEX-5N I get a message that it can't be opened because it is the wrong type of file.  How do I get Elements 10 to recognize the Sony NEX-5N RAW files?

    this is the link for supported RAW formats
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    1. check which version of ACR is installed with your PSE
    To check follow this  :
    Windows :  Open Elements Editor from the welcome screen, then goto Help >> About Plugin >> Camer raw
    Mac : Open Elements Editor , then goto Photoshop Elements menu>> About Plugin >> Camera raw and check the version
    Check the version there, if its less that 6.5, then you have to update because the camers that you are usning , it requires 6.5 ACR version to work with PSE 10
    To update goto Elements editor and and then goto help and update and this will show up the available updates for you PSE 10 which will include  ACR as well, once the update is done and installed , then relaunch the PSE 10 editor and then check the version once again  to be sure .
    If it has updated to 6.5 or later then check your RAW files, they should work now..

  • How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

    Hello
    I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
    cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

    You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
    The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

  • How do you process a RAW file ARW (from a Sony a7R camera) in Elements 11?

    How do you process a RAW file (ARW) from Sony a7R camera in Elements 11? Elements 11 does not seem to accept a ARW file.

    Doug2014
    For editing of the Sony a7R raw image in Photoshop Elements Camera Raw need the following ingredients
    a. The Camera Raw version must support the camera that you are using, that is, the Sony a7R. Support for that camera did not come until Camera Raw version 8.3.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    b. The version of Camera Raw must be supported by the version of Photoshop Elements. Camera Raw 8.3 is not supported until Photoshop Elements 12.
    The choices would appear to be:
    a. Switch to Photoshop Elements 12
    or
    b. Use the DNG Converter to convert the Raw image to .dng
    If all you have is Premiere Elements 11 which I do not think is the case, the Camera Raw plug-in allows you only to import the raw or dng image into the project for inclusion there - no Camera Raw dialog editing. But the same Camera Raw version - Camera Support - Premiere Elements version support still exists.
    Please review.
    Thanks.

  • Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

    I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

    If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

  • I Cant view thumbnail versions of Raw Files (.arw) in finder when i upgraded to Lion.

    I Cant view thumbnail versions of Raw Files (.arw) in finder when i upgraded to Lion.
    It worked in Snow Leopard without a problem.
    Any Solutions?

    Ben,
    I also take photos with a sony DSLR. Not a professional one but theAlpha700.
    So this was one annoying issue.
    But, I haven't found the reason why, after a few days the problem returned.
    This happened after setting up my preferences. When we do this, some how, the preferences file becomes 'corrupted' or changes any bit/byte that interferes with icon display.
    But if we repeat the process (delete prefs files), things become all right again.
    hope this helps.

  • Cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5

    Hello!
    I cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5
    Camera Raw Version is 5.0.0.178, PS CS5 Version 11.0.2
    Anyone have a suggestion that does not involve upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop?
    Thanks!
    Kelly

    Does this mean that I can't get Camera Raw 7.3 with Photoshop CS5?
    Naturally.
    Photoshop CS5 does not use ACR 7.
    I did read about using the free DNG Converter but that seems like an extra step I would prefer to avoid if possible.
    Either upgrade Photoshop or use another means to process the RAW files, and cost-wise DNG Converter can hardly be beat.

  • RAW files from Fujifilm X10, why have I lost the ability to import after last RAW file update?

    When I first installed iPhoto '11, it would not accept imports of RAW files from Fujifilm X10, then when doing an RAW file compatibility update in around April 2013, I could then import X10's RAW files, but when I did the latest RAW file combatibility update about a week ago, I now seem to have lost this ability, WHY? How can I restore this feature?

    For what I understand:
    The problem is that the update applies to the IOS not the software itself (iPhoto or Aperture) so rolling back is almost impossible.
    Meanwhile the most effective way is to send feedback requesting the update:

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

  • I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5

    I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5, I have tried Camera Raw 6.1 update but that has not worked.

    Nikon D 600 will work with ACR 7.3 which needs minimum of PS CS 6  : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    With PS CS 5, ACR 7.3 will not work.
    So either you need to upgrade to CS 6 or use DNG converter to convert images to DNG format which you can open in CS 5

  • Cannot read Cannon S100 RAW files on Aperture

    Aperture cannot read canon S100 RAW files even after the latest update. Cannot install old updates once the latest is installed.
    Should i try to reinstall Aperture and download the specific update for the Canon S100? or does the latest update include old ones?
    Thanks,

    Not sure now the link I posted got changed but here OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats is the correct link.
    If you are running the latest software (BTW what version of Aperture are you running?) and still cannot see the raw files from your S100 try opening them in Preview and see if they work there.  If they do not work in Preview also then as was written above you probably need to change the settings on the camera.
