Cant import raw files from pentax k20d

I have a Pentax k20d and iPhoto6 will only import JPGs. iPhoto will not import RAW files from my camera. I can't find if its supported but can only assume its not.

You'd think that apple would add raw file compatibility with the next of its numerous iphoto 6 updates...
I wouldn’t think that at all. Iphoto 6 has not been developed since 2006, nor updated since 2006. I would not expect any further enhancement to it.
or maybe its just the pentax as in iphoto 6's advanced settings there are options to "save edited RAW files as 16 bit TIFFS" and "use RAW files with external editor".iPhoto 6 has not been developed since 2006.
It’s not just the Pentax. Those RAW options are there in everyone’s iPhoto 6 and later. However, RAW formats differ not just between brands of Camera but also between different models of the same Brand. So, RAW support is added on a model by model basis and not all models are supported. The K20D was announced in January 2008. The RAW format you want supported didn’t even exist when the iPhoto 6 was in development or the current version of the application.
Further, as RAW support is a function of the Operating System, and involves a patch to the OS, it was added to the OS current at the time - 10.5.

Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto. with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Lightroom 5.6 won't import raw files from Nikon D750

This camera's RAW photos are not supported by Adobe software at this time. Please read this thread: Support for Nikon D750

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit. LR says there are no other updates to install. Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen. I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in. It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly. What am I missing? All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
Error message that it does not support cr. file

Which version of Lightroom?
As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

How to import raw files from nikon d750 to snow leopard

I can import raw files from my Nikon d80 to iPhoto on Snow Leopard without having to install Nikon software. However iPhoto won't import raw files from my Nikon d750. Has anyone out there had this problem?.

Mountain Lion is what Lion should have been in my opinion. I used Lion for a week and reverted to Snow Leopard. Another option is to have 2 operating systems installed, each on a different partition. You could then stay with Snow Leopard for most of your work.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

Problems importing raw files from nikon d610

My lightroom 4.4 will not import raw files from my new nikon d610. I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please help

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above link provides the full list of camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. You will note that support for the Nikon D610 was introduced in Lightroom 5.3.
You have a couple of options
a. Upgrade your version of Lightroom to version 5, the latest update is LR 5.4. This will provide support for your raw NEF files from your camera. (LR 4 will not have any further updates)
b. Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4 and convert the NEF files to DNG format and you can then import the DNG files into Lightroom 4. (retain copies of your NEF files for use with the Nikon software or other software that may not read DNG files.)
Quote " I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please help" If you are referring to the Adobe DNG Converter if is possible that if you used an older version of Nikon Software to transfer the files from your camera to the computer the files may have been rendered unreadable by Adobe Software.

Importing RAW files from Nikon D810 error

I have tried importing RAW files from my Nikon D810 into LR5 but get an error message that the files are not recognized.
Raw files from my D800 are imported OK.
What's the reason for this and what can I do?
I'm a professional wedding photographer and need to start processing these images ASAP
I thank anyone for their help!

LR 5.6 is available as is ACR 8.6 Final.
Some D810 users on dpreview are finding problems with the "Camera..." profiles in the release version of LR 5.6. They report some posterisation. See http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54122110. I don't have a D810 - only a humble D800 - and I've found no problems with that on LR 5.6, so can't confirm whether there's an issue with the new D810 profiles or not.
Edit: I've just downloaded a D810 NEF someone posted on that dpreview thread, and in LR 5.6 most of the "Camera..." profiles produce some posterisation, although Adobe Standard is fine.
If any Adobe staffers are lurking here, they might want to take a look at that thread and see if they can reproduce the issue (or confirm it isn't an issue).

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
regards
And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback
