Dealing with unsuported RAW formats?

I have a Leica D-Lux 3, very good compact made from Panasonic belt with some software improvments of the Jpeg internal treatment.
My issue is that Aperture even after the latest upgrade 1.5.2. don't support this RAW format, although Adobe element has a convertor tool.
Does anyone know if Aperture is going to release new patch to extend the number of RAW formats supported, including this one?
I'm new at MAC and I was really thrilled to use Aperture with my new toy providing RAW files on which I could apply standard and my own image processing setup.
I'm bit confused with the utility of Aperture without the support of RAW formats like with Adobe PS elements?
Does anyone use an external convertor on top of Aperture?
Any suggestion is welcome.

Aperture supports the Leica Digilux 2 and Panasonic DMC-LC1.
If either of these share the same ccd sensor, you may have a chance.
If so, you need to edit the RAW plist file. There are threads on this and I got a Canon powershot s40 to work by doing it.
Essentially you'll copy the section from the target camera, and then paste it. Edit the camera model on the duplicate to be your Leica model and save.
You'll have to allow preferences before editing and reset preference after editing.
Failing this hack working, no, you'll need to covert outside Aperture and import as TIF, PSD or JPG.

What's the deal with the video format?

Hello! What is the deal with the video format? Does it mean I have to code the videos for 640*480 ? It won't accept any other size? What size do I need to select for widescreen format?
With Quicktime pro I've been able to encode videos with a very nice resolution and small size, then try to synch them to the ipod touch and then the error, it can't be played. I use the .mov format, I like it more but if I have to use .mp4 then I'll use it.
Thanks for the help!

According to Apple's Specification, these are your video choices
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

Dealing with Fixed Length formats both at sender and receiver side

Hi all,
I have file -- File with fixed lenght formats.
Source system will generate a text file with fixed lenght and target also needs the same file with same format.
Then we have an idea to implement the interface with out IR Development .this is fine upto now.
But now the problem is we are receiving more fields from source than we require for target process. we are not using at receiver side.
So receiving system needs only few required fields from the source file.
From soucre
Ex: Source.... DocNum   Invoice No   Bill date   Bill amount vendor code
We require at target
Ex: Target.....   DocNum Bill Date Vendor code
Please suggest me
Regards

Hi,
>>The source file content conversion is simple...In the target when you specify the target field names just leave out the ones you dont need...
from source we wil read all the fields, this is fine and in the target how to mention the field positions
Here all fields will come into picture, we cant mention the positions at receiver
Source side Ex: Docnum    InvoiceNo     Billdate     Bill Amt     Vendor
Fixed lenghts are 10            20               10             10            20
Target Expects Ex: Docnum   BillDate Vendor
                              10            10          20
in receiver side if you mention fixed lenghts like 10 10 20 means it may read docnum, Invoiceno, BillDate
It wont ignore InvoiceNo field in this case
Regards

Will the dng converter deal with CR2 raw files from Canon 7D?

Mine does not. If there is an upgrade, please remind me where to obtain it.
Thank you -- ML

Yes, the Canon 7D has been supported since version 5.6.
You should always use the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently version 6.2.

Trouble with Photos with RAW format

Can DVD Studio see photos which were taken using a RAW format. I am having a hard time with iPhoto in the stills Palette. The stills palette is freezing up and I am having a hard time trying to figure out why. Among other things, it might appear that DVD studio pro does not recognize a photo in iPhoto taken with the raw format.

That wouldn't surprise me, as I can't think of any advantage of giving DVDSP a RAW formatted picture.
You would want to modify those RAW pics in Photoshop first, and then scale down to DVD-Video resolution (crop/scale to 720x534 pixels, then scale non-proportionally to 720x480), and then save as PICT or TIFF (no need to save in a compressed format like JPEG as it's going to recompress anyway).
If you do this a lot, you can make a Photoshop action out of it.

Using RAW format

I am the new owner of a Rebel T3i and trying hard to learn all the new things that have happening in photography after a rather lengthy hiatus (~30 years!). There seems to be some consensus that one is further ahead if all the decisions( eg. exposure, color saturation, style, etc.) are made in camera while the picture is being taken. Later adjustments with software would then be minimal touchups. If I record the photo in .JPG format I immediately see the picture as I expect it to be. If I record the photo in .CR2 (RAW) format I am told that information such as style is "noted" and used to show me a preview. I would expect the preview both on the camera LCD screen and on the computer in Lightroom to then be identical to the .JPG preview because it should be using the "noted" information. I can clearly see that there is a difference in the preview of the two formats, with the RAW format usually showing a little more high key! I would like to see the RAW image presented as I manipulated it while taking the picture because I cannot rely on my memory about what I did, but then I want to be able to manipulate such things as the style should I want to improve it (in Lightroom). Also I wonder if the "noted" information is carried through and used by Adobe Camera Raw in the same way as in Digital Photo Professional, or does Adobe lose the information.
Can anyone elaborate on this for me? Thank you so much!

A RAW file is exactly what the camera recorded when the photo was taken (in computer language) and as such is a pure file. NOTHING is altered until you run it through some form of software & create a jpg or tif etc. The reason for this will become very obvious as you progress on the learning journey. Because the camera stored the data exactly as shot you have the opportunity to manipulate it in so many ways over & over again without ever tampering with the original data. That can't be said about a jpg, which has already lost some of the original information as it was processed in camera using software that was built into the camera to do a specific thing to the photo as decided by those who planned & developed that software, BUT they can't possibly know exactly what every photographer wanted to capture, so by having the RAW file stay untouched they've given us the power to override their idea of what we were seeing in our minds when we took the shot.
This may help you understand the idea better.

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.

HT201071 RAW format Problem with NIKON D600 after updating to maverick.

We still have problems after this update.
Pictures in RAW format imported to Aperture are brilliant as they are with the NIKON D600. Imported Pictures with the NIKON D800 are aweful. They are kind of grey without any saturation. To convert every single Picture to JPEG brings back their brilliance and colors. We have consulted the apple and the aperture support, but they dind't have any solution to fix our issue.
Any ideas?

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

How to deal with file dir? what format of dir should be?

Hi Kamlesh,
Thanks for your response.
Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
31/03/08 - 2300000.00
30/04/08 - 3100000.00
Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
"Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
Thanks in Advance....

Why can I not use LR4 with my new camera raw format?

My new camera raw format is unrecognizable with LR4. Anyway around this?

Yes use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the proprietary raw files to DNG raw files. Then LR4 will be able to read them.
The Adobe converter is free.

How does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

how does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

Ok, sorry about the vague question. My concern is centered around a new camera purchase ( Nikon D810 ) which produces huge files. I shoot in RAW and never use lossless compression only uncompressed RAW because of my conservative nature . But now it looks like I will be using Lossless compressed to help deal with the file size. So the question was based on fears of data lost. Thanks for the replies, and they confirm what I already suspected. So now I can feel confident using lossless compression.
Thanks

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.

Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.
