Canon 10D RAW - Unsupported Image Format??

I have a folder of 66 Canon 10D RAW (.CRW and .THM) images. After importing to Aperture 1.5 I get 'Unsupported Image Format' for 29 of the images. If I try and open one of these images from the Finder in preview I also get a 'Cannot open' message.
Strange thing is iView Media Pro, RAW Developer, Canon DPP, Phase One C1, Photoshop CS2 and LightZone can all open and view these files! Only Aperture/OSX (Preview) is having the problem.
Any ideas how to 'recover' these images to Aperture?

You are indeed correct .... shame on me for not reading your post carefully.
Since you have .THM files, are you pulling the images into Canon's ImageBrowser or DP Professional before Aperture vs. importing direct to Aperture? The reason I ask is that iPhoto, Preview and Aperture all failing to read the same image is clearly systemic not application specific. It points to some level of corruption - - - as far as OS X is concerned - - - of the image and is obviously not application centric, save where the application calls on the OS support systems.
Is it possible for you to generate .DNG's for the "Unsupported" images and try importing these? It may be the CRW wrapper that is somehow unreadable at a myopically detailed level that other imaging tools blythly (and perhapds more appropriately) ignore. The DNG wrapper may allow the RAW content to be then read by Aperture.
Hopefully this is a more helpful response.

  • Canon G9 Raw - "Unsupported Image Format"

    I am using Aperture 1.5.6. When I went to import in Aperture RAW images from my new G9, the appear as "Unsupported Image Format." I do not have this problem when importing from my Nikon D2sx. Any suggestions??

    Rather annoyingly, you're right. While everyone has been criticising how RAW support is in the OS, Apple seems to have taken this a step further and included G9 support in the OS, but not in a way that Aperture 1.5.6 can use. On the page:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    they have asterisks beside a variety of new additions which require 10.5.2 (or 10.4.11) and Aperture 2. I've run the additional Leopard graphics update, reimported the G9 RAWs and this changes nothing in 1.5.6. A trial copy of Aperture 2 on another machine has no problems.
    I guess this means that Aperture 1.5.6 users are no longer supported for newer cameras (including ones which have been out for some time).

  • Canon G7x and unsupported image format icon with RAW files.

    When RAW files downloaded from Canon G7x get "Unsupported Image Format" message. Using iMac with 10.9.5  and Aperture 3.5.1.  This is a new camera and is not on the supported list.  Is there a way around this?  Now that Aperture is static will new cameras continue to be added to supported list?

    The only way 'around' it is to upgrade to the required Aperture and/or OS version.  So you will need to wait for that to happen. In the meantime you could shoot Raw+JPG, use the JPGs now and when (and if) the camera is supported (or you move to a different program) you will have the Raw files.
    As for camera updates in Aperture, no one here can say what Apple intends, we;re just users here like yourself and even discussing this is technically against the TOU of these forums.
    But I think it is safe to assume, as Apple will continue to support Raw processing and that the Raw processing is done at the OS level and they have said they will support Aperture at least through Yosemite's life cycle that any new Raw format added to OS X will reusable by Aperture. But that's only a guess.

  • EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

    From the raw tech spec page:
    Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.

    Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....

  • Canon EOS 6D - Unsupported Image Format

    Hi,
    when I import RAW pictures from my Canon EOS 6D to the library, Aperture shows me this message: "Unsupported Image Format".
    I updated Aperture to the last available version (3.4.3 - Digital Camera Raw 4.00 - Build 658.1) but nothing changes.
    Any ideas?
    Thank's!

  • 5d MarkII RAW- unsupported image format?

    I've seen the topic on bad RAW conversion into Aperture from the current Canon 5d MkII model - but I can't even view my images any larger than thumbnail-sized. When I click on them it says "unsupported image format", double clicking sets the thumbnail in the view only mode with "loading" to infinity!
    How very disappoing. I hate Lightroom and really don't want to change over!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    you can always use DPP to convert the sRAW to .tiff or .jpg and use aperture to manage ... but converting to .tiff defeats the purpose of the smaller files ...
    i haven't ever used any sRAW, don't see a point personally ... storage is cheap these days, CF cards are cheap these days ...
    to me it is akin to buying a v-12 and 'turning off' 8 of the cylinders ...

  • Nikon D5000 RAW "Unsupported Image Format"

    Well here's another one for the Unsupported Image Format category. I just received a Nikon D5000 took a hundred or two shots in RAW format only to find after importing them to Aperture a row of thumbnails. Now if only after clicking on a thumbnail for viewing it displayed the image and not "Unsupported Image Format".

    all set with adobe raw 5.4, i grabbed the converter because the plugin is a p.i.t.a. and the installer isn't very friendly if you delete the plugin and try to start over. available from the labs at: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/CameraRaw5.4
    i wouldnt expect apple to add compatibility till 10.5.8. its a big name and soon to be popular machine. so i would bet on it. but when that comes, id also bet to be a long time from now.

  • 10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

    Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
    Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
    Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
    Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

    I have the same exact issue.
    I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
    Also the G9 raws are not working.
    Finally after 3 months it's still not working
    I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
    Are the D3, D300 raws working?

  • Canon EOS 350D .CR2 pics still 'unsupported image format'?

    I was releaved to see updates in Mac OS X (10.4.8) and Aperture 1.5 the other week, hoping it would solve my problem, being able to finally work with my RAW files (.cr2) from the Canon EOS 350D (yes, being in Europe these days).
    I followed the posts on the forum throughout the summer, which recommended waiting for the next OS X update (which should support the camera in that raw definition file) and I didn't want to use the workaround, which clearly had problems with the colors on the pics.
    After all the updates the other week, nothing has changed on my MBP. Still the 'Unsupported Image Format' on my RAW files. On the other hand, I don't see any posts on problems with the 350D camera anymore as well (only on CR2 files in general).
    Am I missing something really basic here (tried rebuild library)? Or, have all the CR2 formats gone down the drain on Aperture 1.5?
    Any help is appreciated, as I have already looked into Adobe Lightroom Beta and although I don't want to switch, the files seem to work there...

    Yes, the import thumbnail is as you describe, the low res. JPG that is embedded in the RAW wrapper.
    10.4.8 needs to be installed prior to Aperture 1.5 .... from a functionality point of view. I am not aware of a dependence that says AP 1.5 has to be uninstalled before a 10.4.8 upgrade or any such, not that AP 1.5 should need re-installing after a 10.4.8 upgrade .... assuming it was working correctly beforehand.
    But to this last point, since you have an issue which may be related to AP or OS X, it is likely worthwhile updating both and in order.
    Final thought. do you import directly from the CF card / camera vs. using an intermediary tool such as ImageBrowser or DP Professional? I am wondering if Aperture is very OCD aboout the image format wrapper and chokes at the least excuse that other apps. and tools ignore.

  • Unsupported Image Format when inporting from my new Canon 400D (KISS X) CAM

    Could someone please tell me why Apeture is giving me the Unsupported Image Format notice when trying to view and import Raw images from my new Canon 400D camera? I can view the photos on my Canon software. Is it possible that just becase the file is 10.1 MP on my new cam instead of the 8mp that my rebel XT (350D) was that Apeture can not use the format? If in fact this is the case, what can i do to get the 300 plus photos that I just shot at a paid photo shoot into Apertue and still be able to work with them raw?
    I would be grateful for any help I can get.
    Thank you.

    Two problems with this workflow:
    1) A 16 bit TIFF file is 52 megabytes. Ouch. Reading them bogs down my little MacBook like you wouldn't believe. I may have to work with JPEG or, god forbid, use Photoshop until Apple's devs can get support for the XTi
    2) Aperture seems unable to figure out the colour balance of the TIFF files. I added a bit of saturation and colour correction (working in the Adobe RGB space) in Canon DPP, but Aperture seems to totally screw up on these files. http://images.dasmegabyte.org/wine_tour/large-37.html almost no detail at all in those bins (plenty in the RAW) and I had to boost the gamma on the web gallery by 1.2x so they didn't look fire engine red.

  • Canon 7D, .CR2 and the miserable RED "Unsupported Image Format" screen

    I have seen a lot of posts on this:
    First, yes, all of my software is up to date ~ running Mac OS X SL 10.6.2 and Aperture 2.1.4
    I just got the 7D ~ my system is set up to automatically open Aperture when card reader and/or camera is plugged in.
    I have been shooting in Camera Raw, not sCR2, not mCR2, just .CR2 and large JPG simultaneously.
    Obviously, the JPG imports fine, but that dastardly "Unsupported Image Format" red screen pops up.
    I can't seem to find the file to open and see if it works in iPhoto ~ even when I am in iPhoto and try to show my Aperture library, it is not there.
    So, the big question is this: how do I download .CR2, find them to then convert them (and what am I converting them to?) and import those converted files into Aperture?
    I know, I know a lot of questions...but am appreciative of any help someone is willing to throw my way.
    Thanks

    I mount the drive to see it in the finder only.
    I shoot both RAW & Jpeg the same time.
    I explore the Jpeg thumbnails, skipping over the raw files which takes a little longer to load.
    One main advantage doing both/
    Now anyone can load the Jpegs to view, otherwise they may not have viewer or software to see RAW files.
    For safety, I load the whole card file to the desktop.
    From here, I pre-sort the images to a folder within.
    Otherwise it's back & forth reloading the whole card file into Aperture picking out a few, and doing the process 10 - 20 more times for other images not related.
    Or making mistakes along the way. A simple slip of the wrist, or happy mouse.
    Now any software you chose, It can load from saved file on desktop.
    **The card anytime it's put back in camera gets reformatted.
    Or set aside for safe keeping until the process is complete in case of power failure and or crash.
    Reformatting the card is a must in the camera vs just deleted at computer.
    This might be the X crisis you see of old data mixed in.
    Other Issues/
    By default for years, compact flash cards & reader.
    On the Canon 1DsMkII, it has two slots, CF & SD.
    Along comes SDHC, and off to do wedding, get back to computer to load from reader and the computer says, we have no clue.
    Card readers are specific to SDHC.
    I had a thumb drive reader for SDHC but never gave it a thought there was any difference.
    Prior/
    The camera smarter, picked the SD slot to record to if pulling & replacing CF.
    So I was shocked not finding the images on CF at first.

  • Unsupported Image Format?  CR2 from Canon 20d

    ok, so my jpg's import fine. my problem is with my CR2 Raw pictures from my Canon 20d. I tried to import some. They import, all the metadata info is there, but there is no thumbnail in aperture and in the top viewer it says unsupported image format. Has anyone had this problem? After import why are the CR2 thumbnails missing and why do the viewers say Unsupported Image Format? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Since I can't open the problem RAW files in Preview or import them into iPhoto, but can open them in ACR/Bridge or DPP, I'm fairly certain this has something to do with the underlying RAW support at the OS-level in Tiger -- and not just an Aperture issue.
    I have had no problem with some older RAW files captured using my 20D. I think I may have upgraded the 20D's firmware since those images were shot -- could it be an incompatibility brought on by that?!?!

  • Unsupported image format Canon G2 CRW

    I downloaded the trial to see if Aperture is something I would like to use. I have an old Canon PowerShot G2 and I shoot in RAW. The file type is CRW. After making a new project I select Import and import the CRW files into the Aperture library but it will only show the thumbnail on the bottom frame but will display a red box with Unsupported Image Format where the picture should be for me to edit.
    Is the Canon RAW format not supported by Aperture? If it is how do I go about using CRW files in Aperture?

    It does and I tried that but that just puts to many steps into my workflow. With this it becomes
    Open Bridge, find the photo open in Ps to use the Raw importer, click save as and save as a DNG. Then open up Aperture and import there and edit. At that point of using the Raw importer I might as well do the work there and in Ps.
    Maybe Apple will see it that they should support the older cameras, who knows. At least with Adobe they support back to the PowerShot G1.

  • Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

    Hi,
    I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
    After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
    This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
    I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
    * NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
    Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
    This requires a fix ASAP
    Martin

    Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
    On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
    I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
    Best,

  • Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

    I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
    This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
    I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
    Please help.
    William

    Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.
