Does iPhoto 6 support RAW files?

Seems that some of my RAW images are not importing into iPhoto 6. They are taken with the Panasonic Lumix L1 SLR. So question is whether or not iPhoto supports RAW files, and is it specific to the camera model which might have its own proprietary RAW format? Am I better off with Aperture?
Thanks

Yes.

Yes. Apparently, Panasonic has chosen not to share its RAW format characteristics.

No. RAW support (or lack thereof) is system-wide.

  • What version of iPhoto supports raw files for canon 6d

    what version of iPhoto supports raw files for canon 6d? I am running iMac 24-inch with OSX-10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.x, and can't read these files....looking for least upgrade which will enable me to read them.  Thx - //Spud

    Not sure what the oldest version is but Mavericks with iPhoto 9.5.1 does - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5955?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Google may help you go backwards if you do not want to upgrade to Mavericks

  • 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).

  • 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.

    Yes if you are running Yosemite and have downloaded and installed the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 updater.

  • 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.

  • Does iPhoto Support RAW from Nikon D90?

    I shoot in RAW. I had a D80 and iPhoto would import my RAW photo files ok. I just got a Nikon D90 and iPhoto will not import my files. Any ideas?
    Lee

    Lee:
    In the meantime you might see if Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 4.6 is compatible with the D90. That would let you convert the RAW files to the DNG (digital negative) format which iPhoto does support. There's other RAW converters available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for RAW.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Does Lightroom support RAW files from the Sony RX-100M2?

    I use LR 4.4 with my Sony A-77 and Sony A-100.  I just purchased a Sony RX-100M2.  My current version of LR (LR 4.4) doesn't recognize the RAW files from my new RX-100M2.  Will I have to upgrade to LR version 5?  Will that even help?
    Thanks.

    Support appears to be preliminary:  There is no RX100M2 Adobe Profile and the camera is not listed as being supported, so while it is true that you can open the M2 files in LR5, the colors appear slightly off and dimmer than for the RX100(M1).  I suspect Adobe may have given preliminary support by using the RX100(M1) profile for the RX100M2 but hopefully the support improves with the next version of LR5 comes out, hopefully later this week:
    Here is a thread discussing the differences and some sample ARW files from both the M1 and M2:

  • Does iPhoto support RAW for Fuji X-S1?

    I just bought a Fuji X-S1 to use as a safari camera. I'm experimenting with it and was not able to get iPhoto to import RAW files. Any suggestions?

    Check to see if the Adobe Raw file converter will work with your raw file format.

  • Why does iPhoto show raw files as .jpg?

    I transfer files from my camera, each in raw and jpg format, to iPhoto. They both get shown as jpg files, and if I then open in photoshop they only open as jpg. Why?

    Why?
    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically makes a jpeg Preview of the shot because you can't do anything with Raw - can't print it, share it online, use it in other apps etc. So to allow you to use the file immediately the Preview is available.
    Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. *But* iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

  • Does iPhoto 11 support RAW files from Nikon D800?

    Does iPhoto 11 support Raw files from a Nikon D800 or do I need to upgrade to Apeture? I am running 10.7.4. and currently use iPhoto '09

    Aperature and iPhoto use the same RAW support - you probably need to upgrade to iPhoto '11  - purchase from the App store, backup your iPhoto library and upgrade - the RAW support list is here
