Compatible RAW-format camers?????

Anybody know where I can find the list of cameras whose RAW files are supported in iPhoto 6? I clicked on the Compatible RAW-format cameras link in iPhoto help and got the usual "file not found" message that so often comes up. Does Apple simply abandon these links when a new version of iPhoto comes out?
Thanks,

RAW support is a factor of the Operating System plus the version of iPhoto. So, for instance, many supported cameras are supported in iPhoto 6 but also require 10.5. Others require 10.5 and iPhoto 08.
The best way to approach the question is to ask about the camera you’re considering.

Why are my RAW format files no longer supported?

Using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 with versions of Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw Plug-in.
Shot .CR2 raw format photos on my Canon EOS 450D (Same as Rebel XSi)
Have always been able to open them successfully in Camera Raw and Photoshop. Now says that the files and/or my camera model/make is not supported by the Camera Raw Plug-in nor by my Photoshop.
Tried converting to DNG first with Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 and even that says that the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.
Previous raw files taken with the same camera on the same computer with the same (or even earlier) versions of all these programs have always worked. I can still open those successfully too. However just these new ones I cannot. Nothing has changed about my camera in that time...
What can I do and why is it that these files are no longer supported?

ACR 6.7 and ACR 7.1 RC can open XSi CR2 files at least on Windows 7. I just checked.
However, on Windows, at least, the DNGC 7.1 RC has a quirk in that when you want to convert a folder of CR2s to DNGs, you have to click the Select button when the folder is highlighted in the file selection dialog and the folder listed in the location area of the file selection dialog. You cannot click INTO the folder and then click Select, which sounds like what you are doing. If you do click into the folder and click Select it’ll say there are no compatible files that exist. I think previous versions of the DNGC would recover properly if you clicked into the folder before clicking Select.
Since your files cannot be opened in ACR, either, then perhaps they are corrupted. You might post a download link to one of them in a message here so others can have a look. If you don’t have a large file hosting service, then set up a free account on www.dropbox.com or www.yousendit.com or similar, upload your file, there, then post the public download link, here, in a reply.

Reading Camera Raw Format

I'm a user of Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 runiing the current version of each. I signed up for Creative Cloud and have downloaded and installed Photoshop CC. I have not downloaded and installed Lightroom from CC as I understand it is the exact same product as the standalone version.
My question is - everytime I take a photo (DNG) from Lightroom and click to edit it in Photoshop CC - Photoshop CC opens a dialog box that says 'Reading Camera Raw Format' That didn't happen when I opened images in CS6. What causes this and how do I fix it?
I have checked with a friend who also converted to Photoshop CC and he does not get that dialog (he is running Windows and I'm on a Mac)?

Since you say you are up-to-date with LR an PS, this suggests you are using LR 5.2 and PS-CC/ACR 8.2.
Whenever the versions of LR and ACR are compatible, then LR tells PS to open the raw file using LR’s settings, and PS uses the ACR plug-in to open the raw file with those settings.
The message occurs when the time it takes to render the raw file on the way into PS longer than a certain amount of time.
If your LR and CS6-ACR were up-to-date and you weren’t seeing the message, then perhaps something was slightly faster with those two products, and the message wasn’t displayed, or perhaps PS-CC’s time-limit for showing that message was made a shorter amount of time.
If your LR and CS6-ACR weren’t synchronized in their versions (e.g. LR 5.2 and CS6-ACF 7.1) then LR could have been rendering the file as a TIF or PSD so PS isn’t using ACR to render the file.
As far as LR-non-CC and LR-CC being the same. They operate on images files the same, the real difference will occur with LR 6, which you won’t have to pay extra for if you’re using the CC version.
There isn’t any reason to download and install LR-CC 5.2 when you already have the regular LR 5.2, but once LR 5.3 comes out, you might as well let CC download and install it, so you won’t have to worry about it, later. It may be that you’ll have to uninstall LR non-CC 5.2, but perhaps that has been changed in recent updates of the CC Manager app or will be when LR 5.3 is release in the next few weeks.

RAW formatted DVDs

I was given the DVD-r's from a Sony Handycam to download into iMovie. When I insert the DVD, I am told I am inserting a blank disk. After some research, this DVD is in RAW format which Apple doesn't recognize. How can I convert it into a format I can download?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You'll probably need a third party application like "ReadDVD" , macnuwbie.
I've only used it to handle DVD-RAM discs recorded on a "standalone" player, myself, but it can also handle the "VR" format often used in DVD based cameras.
Its actually the format of the disc, rather than the format of the files, that causes the primary problem here.
If you run into further problems with file conversion then VisualHub does a nice job. MPEG StreamClip is another option
(Edit - it seems as if you may actually be able to read them simply using Toast these days - see http://www.mcs.sdsmt.edu/mcgough/public/SonyiMac.html )
Personally I wouldn't be too happy about putting 8cm discs into any Mac slot loading drive, even though some may be able to deal with them. The early iMac G3 slot loaders were meant to be able to handle them, but many ran into problems and Apple stopped suggesting they were compatible. If you have a tray loading drive, of course, its another matter.

Lightning to SD adapter supportet RAW formats?

Hi there!
The Lightning to SD adapter product page states that "The Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader supports standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW".
However, I'm concerned that the RAW formats I shoot in might not be a "standard photo format" by Apples reading.
Is there a list of formats that actually are supported anywhere?
Kind regards
Steffen

It's not compatible with iPhone.

Bridge can't read RAW format from my new camera

I just bought a new Sony SLT-A58 but Bridge says the he can't read the RAW format so, I can't download my photos.
I went online and found a Adobe Camera Raw 6.7.1 and a DNG Converter 7.4 plugins that supposidely would solve the problem. No avail. Still refuse to recognize the RAW format.
Desperate as this is my working camera and and need it up and runing asap. I had absolutely no problems with my older Sony A100.
What is weird is that... if I pass the photos in the converter, it shows me the .dng version of the photos so, something is there. Why can't Bridge see my RAW photos? ... and also, leave tons of caches and weird icons in the file, a real mess.
I am on Mac platform on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and use CS5... and yes, all my programs and softwares are up-to-date.
Thank you for your help...
... and Happy New Year

So if RAW support is specific, why do they do a plugin for CS5 and for my camera?
Adobe has released versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) right back to ACR 1.0 (which was compatible with Photoshop 7). However, supported cameras vary by ACR version and Adobe application version.
You need to match:
your camera make and model
the version of Camera Raw which supports your camera make and model
the specific version of Adobe software which supports the version of Camera Raw that you need.
In your case, the Sony SLT-A58 was first supported by ACR 7.4 - which is only supported in CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with ACR7.4.
Complete list of supported cameras is here
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications are listed here
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
CS5 is certainly not an antiquity and the Sony A58 is not a huge tech advanced Hasselblad. I have friends who have big Nikon and Sony A77 and Canon and import their RAW to their CS5 Bridge.
All that matters is which specific camera matches up with which version of ACR - and which Adobe applications are compatible with that version of ACR.
Can't comment on big Nikon or Canon mentioned above without specific camera model numbers.
However, the Sony A77 is supported by ACR6.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS5+. Easy to see why that combination works.
Similarly, your Sony A100 was first supported by ACR 3.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS2+. Easy to see why that works too.
Always read the Adobe tables linked above and cross-reference them with each other. That should clear up your confusion.

Is the Nikon D5300 raw format supported in Elements 12?

I purchased a D5300 and I am not able to open RAW format photos. I want to know if Elements 12 will open them.

According to Adobe’s Supported Camera’s list, you need ACR 8.3:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
According to Adobe’s ACR App Compatibility list, PSE12 ships with ACR 8.1 and can be updated to ACR 8.3 although the list does not include ACR 8.4 which is the current version of plug-in, perhaps because ACR 8.4 is only compatible with Windows 7+ and OSX 10.7.5+, which is newer than the minimum requirements of some of the applications that host it:

Nikon D800E Raw format

Hi! I have a new Nikon D800E; cannot open photographies with the Nikon Raw format (NEF) in Photoshop elements 10. Is an upgrade foreseen?
Ercole

You could wait for pse 11, but the 6.7 camera raw plugin can handle the nikon D800E files directly without the need to use the dng converter.
And no one here is supposed to say exactly when pse 11 will be released (if they know in first place).
If the Help>Update doesn't work for you can download the plugin and install it into pse 10.
here's a list of what cameras and camera raw converters are compatible:

I can't import Sony Alpha 5100 raw format files

Hello experts,
I tried to import raw format files from SONY Alpha 5100 (ILCE-5100) but never worked while it did when I tried with Alpha 5000. I checked with SONY customer support and was told that RAW format is exactly the same between 5000 and 5100, which is SONY ARW 2.3.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do i have to wait until Apple will update iPhoto?

We are just users like yourself here and have no idea what's coming down the pike at a later date.
You might see if the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh is compatible with your camera. If it is you can use it use it to convert your RAW files to DMG files which iPhoto can import until support by Apple is released.

RAW format compatibility with iPhoto

I am looking for a new camera that supports RAW. It is my understanding each camera manufacturer uses a different file extension on their RAW images implying there is a difference between the file formats. The list that Apple supplies for cameras that can be used with iPhoto is not up to date as many newer cameras do not show up on their list.
Would it not be safe to assume that if, for example, Canon comes out with a new camera with RAW format support their file type which is .CRW would automatically work with iPhoto. The same would be for Nikon, Olympus and the rest. If the new camera uses the same file extension as one of the older cameras by the same manufacturer on Apples compatibility list the new camera will be compatible.
Here is the list of extensions I found by manufacturer.
.raf (Fuji)
.crw .cr2 (Canon)
.kdc .dcr (Kodak)
.mrw (Minolta)
.nef (Nikon)
.orf (Olympus)
.dng (Adobe)
.ptx .pef (Pentax)
.arw .srf (Sony)
.x3f (Sigma)
.erf (Epson)
.mef .mos (Mamiya)
.raw (Panasonic)
.r3d (Red)

This document should answer most of your questions: Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5.
Oops, didn't see that you were still using Tiger. This document may be more appropriate in that case: iPhoto 6: Supported RAW format cameras. There may be a Tiger doucment like the one for Leopard but I wasn't able to find it just now.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Raw Format from Olympus E-10 not support

Does anyone know how to import this raw format (Olympus E-10) into iphoto. The apple web site says it is compatibly but iphoto says it is not. Thanks for any help.

IS Elements 13 compatable with Canon 70D RAW format?

I am using Elements 10 and it is not compatible with the RAW format of a Canon 70D. Will the new Elements 13 be compatible? Jim

Thanks.

Like most professional photographers, I shoot and edit in RAW rather then JPEG. Is Photos app going to allow me to use the RAW format?

iMac with 3TB drive and 32 GIG of RAM. Three DROBO storage systems for data and backup.

Try the alternatives, or wait for reports by the users who already migrated. For example, Capture One is more similar to Aperture than Lightroom:

http://www.photographybay.com/2014/10/01/capture-one-pro-8-unveiled-features-app le-aperture-migrate-option/
I'll keep my main libraries in Aperture, as long as it compatible with the operating system. If that no longer works, I'll start a new main library with digikam. If there is no native Mac application, that offers what I need for my workflow, I'll switch back to open source software.

IMac and Raw Format

Hello everyone:
I have and old iMac (the white one), upgraded with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
The computer works perfectly, I´m a photographer and still works with Photoshop and with large files like CR2 (Raw files).
Recently I bought a new camera: Canon powershot G15 and I can´t see the thumbnails in my Finder, neither in my iPhoto´11, but I can see them in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
In order to solve this problem, I have downloaded the RAWCameraUpdate4 from the Apple Support website, wich says that support the G15 raw files, but when I tried to install it, it appears a window taht says: this software is not compatible with your system.
Because of that, I was thinking about update my OS X to Mountain Lion. I´ve been reading the technical specifications and my computer fulfills with the general requirements, but also it is writen that the supported models are iMac (Mid 2007 or newer).
My iMac was bought in decembrer 2006, I kown it´s old, but it runs perfectly, as I said before.
So finally, here´s my question:
Is to buy a new mac the only option that I have to solve my problem? Or maybe is it possible to update my system to Mountain Lion?
Thank and sorry for my english mistakes
