Does Aperture support RAW 3F (*.fff) file format?

I am scanning all of my film with a Hasselblad FlexTight F1 scanner. I saved the files in their RAW format called 3F (*.fff). I am completely schocked that Aperture doesn't recognize the file format. After all, isn't Apple selling Aperture as "Professional Applications"? Hmm, what is more professional than scanning film with a $15,000 FlextTight scanner?
What are they thinking, or what am I missing? I just don't get it.

Well, if you look closely at the technical specifications (http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html), you'll see that Aperture is meant for digital images taken with a digital camera and not for scans, sorry.
Wide Support for RAW Formats from Leading Cameras
Aperture 3 supports the RAW formats from more than 150 digital cameras and camera backs. Aperture also lets you work with most DNG files.1 Shoot JPEG? Using Aperture, you can import JPEG images from virtually all digital cameras.
As a work-around, try another lossless format for your scans. Are your scans very large? Then you may possibly run into another problem because of the file size. I am having frequently problems with Aperture being unresponsive, if the image file size of my scans is close to 1 GB.

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • Does PS support RAW Nikon .NEF files

    Can RAW (Nikon .NEF) files be imported into PS Elements 11

    Hi there
    Yes, PS Elements 11 supports RAW files with the Camera Raw plugin. Just make sure you have the latest version of RAW installed and that you are using a compatible camera.
    Here are some additional links, as well as a list of supported Nikon cameras:

  • Aperture does not support raw files from my Leica d-lux 6.

    When will Aperture support RAW files from a Leica d-lux 6?

    You can download a free copy of Adobe DNG Converter. You then can use this program to convert the D Lux RAW files into DNG RAW files. Aperture will be able to read the DNG files. This is a bit of pain but it will work until Apple supports the D Lux in its usual glacial time span.

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • Video does not play: "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format......"

    Error message
    "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format or the content doesn't match the extension"
    I have both a Yoga and a Thinkpad 2. The Yoga is running Win 8 and the Thinkpad 2 has 8.1 Preview.
    I have copied multiple video files which are in either .avi or .mp4 containers.
    Some will play and some will not. I have installed all sorts of codec packages and players and the problem is the same. I though it might be a container problem so I tried to convert the file and the converter I used did not work.
    Searched the Internet and nothing really useful was found.
    Then I discovered a common thread. In the files that played, the codec information displayed when checking in properties and the ones that did not play, did not have the information.
    I have a video file on a USB flash drive and checked the properties and the information was there and I could play it from the flash drive. I copied it to my desktop and the file would not play. In checking, the codec information was not present.
    There seems to be an error in copying files where the requisite codec information is not being transferred.
    I have tried this multiple times and multiple permutations of transferring. Sometimes it will play from the desktop and will not play after transfer to the microSD card.
    Each time when it plays, the information is there and each time it does not play, the information is not there.

  • HT4007 Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    If the camera is listed here OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats or here Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats then the raw image file is supported by Aperture.
    If the camera is not listed then as Keith wrote if it produces JPG's they can be imported into Aperture.
    If you told us what camera you were interested in it might help.

  • Does Aperture support DNG custom profiles (.dcp) ?

    Hi, how can I do batch correct raw images ? Does Aperture support custom DNG profiles (.dcp) from
    X-Rite Colore Checker Passport or Adobe DNG Profile Editor ?
    Or instead can I assign color correction icc camera profile (input ? device ?)
    For example, I have already prepared jpg image with desired colors ang raw image, I want match colors raw to jpg image. I'm not interested in presets, I prefer and I can do it via profiling in other raw converters. But it will be Aperture usable for me ?
    Many thanks for answer

    I don´t have the camera nor Lightroom, so just for what it´s worth, this requirement stated for DNG files:
    +DNG files must be generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.+
    Not sure if that helps you. I´m trying something alike from PSe7 on a Windows Vista laptop for the Panasonic LX3, without luck so far... ;(

  • Does Aperture support the use of Filters or Brushes?

    I want to be able to have more control over the final print versions of my photos using Aperture (instead of having to spend hundreds on the latest Photoshop)... Does Aperture support any type of filtering or brushwork? Any freeware out there that dovetails with Aperture?

    Steve Weller wrote:
    No, but...
    I poked around inside Aperture a while ago and there are some icons and other images that suggest it is coming one day. My guess is that there is insufficient hardware or OS support for it right now and so it ha not been enabled.
    And if you look in the .plist file you'll see preferences for "brushes" labeled Dodge, Burn, Saturate, Desaturate, Warmer and Cooler. Brushes also appear to have Size, Softness and Strength attributes - does this indicate future drawing pad support??!!

    Thanks,
    JayHi Jay,
    Coherence server: it definitely won't do anything with C++.
    C++ client: for the cache store of a local cache residing within the C++ client you may be able to specify it, but it will have nothing to do with the cluster itself. I never worked with the C++ client, so I can't guarantee you can configure it that way. Look at the following page for further documentation:
