DNG (created from EOS 350D) sometimes unsupported image format...

I've imported some DNG files created from EOS 350D .CR2 files (Compressed, preserve RAW image, JPG preview full size) and I keep getting unsuported image format. Now .DNG files without fill size jpeg preview do show well (these where also created with DNG Converter 3.1).
This jpg preview size shouldn't matter I hoped. I switched to a .dng based workflow since August, all my latest photo's can't be handled with Aperture....

Thanks for the info!
I hadn't checked out the specific 350D support, since I though (hoped) that once using .dng (without the embedded original .cr2 file), it was a pure .dng thingy, in that sence that it doesn't even have anything remotely to do with the original .cr2 raw file anymore, since that's just the reason why I use .dng.... I guess the .dng implementation in 10.4.3 is not done completely as it should then.
Anway, I'm thriled I can use the compare, select, loupe (simple but well implemented!) in Aperture, which rocks. (There are some gems in Aperture for sure, next to th numerous odities.
Thanks again!

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • 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.

  • 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 for DNG from GF1?

    I am in the process of trying to switch from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3 (in case you are wondering why the main reason is increasing integration between iOS and Aperture).
    Most of the images in my Lightroom catalog are from Nikon DSLRs which when I import as DNGs from Lightroom into Aperture show up just fine. However, all of the old DNGs I try to import from Lightroom as DNGs that were shot with my Panasonic GF1 don't render in Aperture and just show up as "Unsupported Image Format."
    Please note that new GF1 images I import from the SD card of my GF1 import just fine. The problem seems limited to GF1 images saved in Lightroom as DNGs that I am importing into Aperture.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?
    Thank you.

    Solved it. Had nothing to do with Photoshop PS4 install, it had to do with moving my home space to a larger external drive. One of the "import" setting changed (I don't remember changing it) such that the images weren't getting imported into Aperture. (Re-?)checked that, and all is well. Will go for the PS4-reinstall tomorrow.

  • DNG files labeled as Unsupported Image Format

    I have used the Adobe DNG Converter and LIghtroom 3 to convert some raw image files from a Fujifilm S100fs camera, and then tried to import them into Aperture 3.  In all cases, DNG files from this particular camera are labeled Unsupported Image Format, while DNG files converted from other unsupported cameras have been imported successfully into Aperture.
    I think this is clearly a defect in Aperture that should be fixed, and I would like to know how a user is informed by Apple that a behavior has been identified as a defect and put on a list of problems to be fixed.

    I can now add more details to my problem with Apple's treatment of DNG files originating from .RAF files created by the Fujifilm S100fs camera.
    I took this issue to the Adobe DNG Converter forum, to investigate whether the DNG Converter was creating a Linear DNG file from these originals.  I had read on Apple forums that the MAC OS would reject DNG files that were linear, and that this sometimes happens when the Adobe Converter encounters raw file parameters that it cannot handle, such as barrel distortion correction figures.
    I have established that these DNG files from my S100fs camera RAWs are NOT linear DNG's.  I found a helpful reader on the Adobe forum who had the tools and knowledge to look inside my DNG files, and ascertain that they were not Linear DNGs.
    So I have exhausted the possibilities that the MAC OS is rejecting my DNG files for a recognized valid reason, and I return to my opinion that this is an Apple bug and needs to be fixed.

  • After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

    After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

    You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
    running the effected files through Adobe DNG
    converter again and then import your reprocessed
    files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
    I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
    to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
    PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
    B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
    Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
    coming into Aperture during the import process?
    Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
    I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
    Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

  • Intermittent "Unsupported image format" message with either CR2 or DNG

    I am seeing "Unsupported image format" messages once files created by a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii (+stored in Canon's CR2 file format or when the same file is converted to Adobe's DNG file format+) have been imported into Aperture.
    Some files will import and be viewable. However, most of the time the files are not viewable. This occurs even after updating Aperture to 1.5.6.
    Is anyone else seeing problems with CR2 or DNG files created by Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii?
    Has anyone see a solution?

    I think Support is confused with the Canon camera models.
    10.5.1 supports 1D Mk III, but only 1Ds Mk II.
    (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html)
    I don't believe that 10.4.11 supports anything that 10.5.1 doesn't support. In fact, the docs at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297 say "Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Leica V-Lux 1, Olympus E-400, Olympus EVOLT E410, Olympus EVOLT E510, Canon EOS 40D" (the 1D Mk III came in the 10.4.10 update.)

  • Unsupported image format after moving from one project to another

    I scanned several thousands of images to my Aperture library. Went thru all of them providing adjustments to many of them, keywords to all of them and adjust date/time to all of them. All of the pics were visible, format is jpeg.
    This is a managed library (all pics within Aperture db).
    This morning started to restructure the project files (had three of them). After moving couple of hundred images to newly created project file I started seeing "unsupported image format" red screen after clicking the jpeg. 20-30% of the pictures clicked showed on viewer "unsupported image format".
    Tried regenerating the previews. Tried command-option start with first fix the preferences option. Then with rebuild option.
    Tried moving the pictures back to their original project file.
    No joy... Still 20-30% of the pictures show the "unsupported image format".
    Aperture 2.1.
    Amy other tricks I could try?
    Reported this to Apple aperture feedback of course.

    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    +Note: there is no importing involved+
    The thumbs appear, but the images are added 2 or 3 times each and the events are all messed up.
    This happens when you import one Library to another, which you've done by drag and drop:
    Creating a black library and over writing the new with the old.
    Your problem is arising because of the Network Share. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.

  • 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!

  • 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 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!

  • Aperture 2, OS 10.6.4, and Pentax K-x, creates unsupported image format

    Upgraded from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4, and started getting the "Unsupported Image Format" problem in Aperture again for my RAW DNG files from a Pentax K-x.
    The previous fix was to remove the Raw Compatibility Upgrade, and reinstall the 3.0 version. (3.03 was the installed version after 10.6.4).
    Doing this, I was able to view my images, but they show up as only 250 x 170 pixel images in Aperture metadata!
    File size is what it should be (~10MB), but they are dinky little images. What the heck?!!!
    Any ideas what's going on here?
    I would upgrade to Ap 3, but still see tons of people reporting problems with it supporting Pentax, especially color shifting of RAW images after upgrading.
    Suggestions appreciated!

    Hi David-- thanks for your advice. I have been looking into it further and it just gets more confusing. I am able to open all of these DNG files in Photoshop so the problem seems to be with some combination of the K-X, OS 10.6.4 and Aperture 2. I have gone so far as to purchase Aperture 3 but haven't opened the package yet. After hearing about your experience (not to mention the thousands of other complaints about Ap 3 performance I've seen) I think I'll take it back and make the switch to Lightroom 3. Lightroom's features may not be quite as good, but at least it seems to be stable and I imagine it will be able to read the DNGs since Photoshop does. I just don't have the energy to be constantly patrolling the state of my photo management program!
    I'll keep you posted on my experiments with Lightroom.
    Thanks again.

  • Aperture not reading DNGs created from some E-M5 raw files

    Aperture happily read DNGs created from dpreview's Olympus E-M5 sample raw files using Adobe DNG Converter version 6.7.0.339. However, it refuses to read the raw files created by E-M5. Is anyone getting this to work? If so, how?
    —Andreas

    Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. Your camera should be supported by update 3.13: The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
         Aperture > About Aperture
    Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
    Canon EOS-1D X
    Nikon D800E
    Nikon D3200
    Olympus OM-D E-M5
    Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5
    Sony Alpha SLT-A57
    Download the latest from here:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
    If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
    In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the  follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

  • 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?!?!
