DNG not supported

On the Tiger site, Apple has written "DNG File Format Support - Open files in the new Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/pdf/). It's not the reality ! For example, Preview is unable to open a DNG created by a Leica Digital-Modul-R. The 10.4.10 uptade of Tiger has solved the problem for the Leica M8, but not for the Leica Digital-Modul-R. My old Photoshop CS has not this problem (and without uptades).
For Aperture, the compatibility with DNG is specified : it's OK. For Tiger, no restriction is indicated.

Leica RAW DNG file not supported by aperture ?
The raw support is camera specific. several leica cameras are supported by Aperture, some of the newest cameras are only supported in Aperture 3.4 or later.
If your camera is not yet on the list, use the software that came with your camera to develope the raw files, before importing them to Aperture.
Also see this footnote, in the link that stedman1 posted:
Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.4.5 dng not supported?

    Hi,
    I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4
    Also downloaded Aperture update to 3.4.5
    Now, many of my dng images are showing as Not Supported.  I checked compatibility on Pentax K-30 and they are supported in Mountain Lion.
    I also downloaded the latest RAW support file from update today.
    Does anyone know what I should do?
    I have converted the entire Ap 3 library to the current format, as directed by a dialog message when opening Ap3 after the update.
    Thanks in advance,
    Deb

    UPDATE:
    If you experience this issue, select all pics, and then UPDATE PREVIEWS

  • Installed Lightroom 5.2 and DNG 8.2 and NEF files are not supported.

    I installed Lightroom 5.2 and DNG 8.2 and when I try and import NEF files I am told they are not supported.

    If your camera is very new, like a Nikon Df, then wait until the next version of LR/PS/ACR for support.
    If your camera model is newer than the latest version of LR, perhaps a Nikon D610, then you need LR 5.3/ACR 8.3/DNGC8.3 which are all available in release-candidate status at Adobe Labs:  http://labs.adobe.com/
    If your camera is older and should be supported, then are you using and older Nikon Transfer or View NX that are corrupting your NEFs in a way that Adobe doesn’t recognize them?  The solution for this is to not use the Nikon products that predate your camera and install versions that came with your camera or are newer than your camera.  Or just use LR, itself, or the OS utilities like Finder and Explorer to copy the NEFs to your hard-drive.
    If your files are corrupted by obsolete Nikon products, then there is a utility, here, that can undo the damage:

  • Why does Aperture not support all DNG files?

    I have a Leica D-LUX 2 and an Epson RD-1. Both of these cameras create RAW files which are not supported by Apple. Why should the files, when converted to DNG, still require RAW support to be utilized. I understand the wrapper concept, but is this not the idea of DNG. What about cameras that create a DNG file, rather than RAW (i.e. the new Leica M8).
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi Kenneth,
    You're missing the point Karl is making. RAW data is (in essence) proprietary to the camera. All DNG does is essentially encapsulate that proprietary data in a standard format. The data is still proprietary whether DNG or RAW.
    By proprietary I mean that the sensor array and sensitivity to light, tonal correction across the gamut all are understood by the camera manufacturer and held as parameters (data) in the RAW or DNG file. It requires specific knowledge to interpret this data into a renderable image. Until such time as camera manufacturers agree that 1 = 1 and 2 = 2, we are stuck with this issue (and ALL our concern of x years from now when nobody supports what is our latest and greatest camera). An API included in Aperture (actually OS X) would at least allow camera manufacturers to write their RAW conversion algorithms and take Apple out of the loop.... as well as take dependence on OS X releases out of the loop too!
    Hope this clarifies.

  • XSI RAW to Aperture via DNG not working

    I just got the Digital Rebel XSI and have been using Aperture for my JPEGs on my P&S camera and was hoping to finally shoot in RAW. From what I understand XSI's RAW is not supported in Aperture so I tried to batch convert RAW to DNG using Adobe Digital Negative Converter. However, Aperture did not accept these DNG files and said the file format was unsupported any thoughts on how I can get XSI's RAW into Aperture?

    First off thanks for all your help. If you haven't figured I'm an amateur newbie who's trying to take the next step to being an advanced amateur with getting the XSI. I've been using Aperture for my jpegs on my P&S camera since I prefer it's organizational tools to those in iPhoto.
    So now my "workflow" (I always think of that as a professional word and feel funny using it as an amateur) right now is to shoot in RAW and convert to DNG for including in Aperture and save the RAW files. If I later want to import the RAW files can I "overwrite" the DNGs with the corresponding RAW files and preserve whatever editing/touchups I did on the DNGs? Or will I have to reedit the RAW files again later?

  • I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10  CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?

    I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10  CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?

    The D7100 requires camera raw 7.4 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10.
    Your two main options are
    1) Buy a newer version of Photoshop Elements
    2) Use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by Photoshop Elements 10.

  • CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

    I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -

    Can anyone please help?

    Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
    The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
    The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
    But, here goes:
    Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
    CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
    Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
    All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
    DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
    If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
    All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
    I really should be in bed.

  • Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 does not support Canon EOS 500D

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Canon EOS 500D and it seems that Adobe Raw 5.3 (i.e. LR2 and CS4) do not support the new (or better changed) Canon RAW format (CR2).
    Does anyone know when this camera model / RAW format will be supported?
    Any ideas for workarounds?
    Best regards,
    paulmut 

    If the camera allows it, shoot raw+JPEG, that way, you can still use/work with the JPEG version, until the CR2 of the 500D will be supported.
    You can also contact Canon and suggest them to take a competitive edge over Nikon by embracing the DNG format, that would have allowed support at release date, in many raw converters programs, like Pentax and others are doing.

  • Olympus E-3 not supported in Leopard 10.5.2!

    This is unbelievable! Am I missing something? Is there a way to read E-3 Raw files? If not, that is it for Aperture and maybe Apple itself. I definitely will replace Aperture and may migrate to Windows software so I can ditch Apple altogether when it is time to replace my computer. Many a company whose business was booming has subsequently failed, due to letting quality and customer service slide. Apple appears to be doing precisely thia with the delays in updating Aperture and the premature release of Leopard. Also, their unwillingness to tell customers when they can expect an update is unforgivable.
    Is there a way to process E-3 Raw files - am I missing something?

    DNG is a great step forward I agree, but it's an added step. Keep in mind there have been problems in the past with E-1 files and DNG conversion adding black lines around things shot against white bg for example and while DNG is a great Idea, it's not supporting the actual RAW files.
    I don't think this is about customer relations to me anyways it's about a competitive professional editing product. In every way I love aperture over others. [Capture One Pro being a close second] Thats why it burns so much that there is no E-3 support.
    Castro steps down, Blue-Ray wins the format war what a week! Back to playing with Aperture 2. I know Apple devs check out the forums so please do another graphics support update for cameras not yet supported like the E-3. I'll play with Capture One Pro demo and compare the output vs. DNG aperture and then make a call, but even so tethered shooting is out then and it's an extra step every import with Aperture.
    Thanks,

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:

  • I'm running LR 4.4.  Just picked up a Sony RX100 M3 cam. It's RAW files are not supported within my version. Is there a free update still available for my version or do I need to purchase an upgrade to LR5?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
    There will be no updates for older versions.
    So your choices:
    Upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the RX100 III to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

    My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

    You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

  • Canon G9 not supported - Alternative

    The topic of no RAW support for Canon G9 (CR2) that I posted yesterday was removed this afternoon. I did look into competitive products and they only recently posted upgrades to support Canon G9.
    Lightroom v1.3 supporting G9 was launched approx. December 12. G9 Raw files worked with 1.2 but was not supported until 1.3. Upgrading to v1.3 messed up the RAW files processed under 1.2.
    Bibble began support of G9 around December 17 This is not an option as for some reason Raw file for my older Olympus camera are no longer supported.
    To be fair it appears most programs only began to support G9 within the last few weeks. I am leaning towards sticking with Aperture with the exceptions support for G9 should be in the next 4 weeks. In the mean time I can use the Canon Raw Processor that came with the camera and transfer files to Aperture.

    Volker, do yourself a favor, stick with the Powerbook and Aperture. Apple's inexcusable delay in supporting the new format is no reason to cross over to the dark side. It is true Aperture does not yet support the G9, and I also find that very disappointing on the part of Apple. Many of the other apps do in fact support the G9-CR2 format.
    I will briefly give you my experience. The G9 files are easily seen by Bridge CS3, and easily converted to .dng files by Adobe Camera Raw. But even those dng's are not seen by Aperture as they are based on the unsupported G9 RAW file type. The only easy way I have found to get them in Aperture is to use the Canon software "Raw Image Task" and save the files as tiffs. This was pretty speedy on my MacPro, and the files were promptly read by Aperture.

  • RAW files from Olympus C-5060WZ are not supported

    I've found out that although iPhoto supports RAW files from C-7070WZ, it does not support C-5060WZ. And that's a big issue for me, because I have a lot of ORF pictures from this camera. Is there some workaround for this? Or maybe I can hope that support for my camera will be added in the future?

    Drolevar:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you can find an application that can convert those photos to a DNG file format iPhoto will be able to handle them. Adobe has a free DNG converter available here: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06091901adobecameraraw35.asp. The following page will list the supported cameras: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html. If you don't see your camera try it any way. But be sure to use it on a copy of the file as it converts the original if you're not careful in setting up the options.
    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.
