Downloading Raw Images into Aperature

This topic has to do with getting Raw images into Aperture and not the application it's self.
There happens to be several ways to download images from a memory card (from the camera to the USB port, from a card reader to the USB port, from a card reader to the Firewire port and from a card adapter to the PCMCIA port).
The question I have is one of these better than rest for downloading RAW files. Connecting the camera to the computer is the most direct way to do it, but when there are several memory cards to go though it easier to a card reader.
Photoscene

I have a firewire reader. It takes less than a minute to pull all the images off a 1 GB card (Lexar 40x or 80x) and into Aperture.
It's funny that it's so fast, as it's substantially faster to pull the images off the card than it is off of disk. Some serious optimization there. Demos well, I figure

  • Downloading RAW images into Lightroom 4

    I just switched to Mac from PC and I am not able to download my RAW images (from Canon Mark iii) into Lightroom 4.  Anyone know a fix for this problem?

    Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
    It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade.  The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
    The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

  • How do I download raw images into photoshop elements 11.

    I am having difficulty downloading my raw images to photoshop elements 11.  Files are currently on a thumb drive, but I don't know how to download to elements.  I have the thumb drive plugged in --- not sure where to go from here. I have verified that I have the plug in - version 7.1.0.354.
    Any ideas?

    You can either drag them in Organizer workspace or import the folder. Or you can also use Adobe Photo Downloader. There are many options listed here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

  • Downloading RAW images in Elements 13

    I've just bought a Canon 7D Mk11 and found that I was unable to download raw images into Elements 10. It was suggested that I might need a newer version of Elements and so have installed version 13 on Windows 7. Still wouldn't accept the raw files. The downloaded the appropriate raw plug-in/dng converter (8.7). Elements go through the process of searching for media and then transferring files. upon completion of this process it says that nothing was downloaded as the files were either damaged or of a file type not supported. I've never had this problem before with either PSE 7 & 10. Pulling my hair out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    When you did the update for ACR 8.7, did you go to the Help menu and select Updates?
    If you load the edittor and go to Help -> About Plugins -> Camera raw does it report 8.7?
    My version 13 on windows 7 recognises my Canon 7D Marl II raw files.

  • IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

    I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
    Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
    Any help gratefully received

    What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

  • Can't import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6

    unable to import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6 (Mac OS-X (10.5.8) - any ideas?

    You'll need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.5 - Search the Support/Downloads site for that.
    It still may not work. Iphoto 6 is an elderly piece of software now and predates your camera by several years. If it doesn't work you'll need to update to iPhoto 09 or later.

  • Can't download RAW images and see them

    I'm using Bridge 3.  When I download RAW images, all I get is the same amount of thumbnails that say CR2 (on a blue banner) on a page with a gray lens.  What's happening?

    They're all blue with a flower motif.  Does this
    information help narrow down the possibilities any?
    It still indicates you have not the right ACR plug in for the file type of
    Raw you are using or your install of ACR plug in is fault.
    In PS check in menu Photoshop / about plug ins / Camera Raw. Inhere should
    be only one version visible and it should say 4.6 in your case if you have
    installed that plug in correctly.
    If this is correct check if your camera that produced the Raw files is
    listed in the supported dSLR for that version. Check this link and if it
    does not work for you (many links are country specific on the Adobe site) do
    a Google search on:  " supported raw files for ACR 4.6"
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4033
    If that camera is not in the list find the latest DNG converter (version
    6.1, it is in the list on the Adobe site / support / updates and search for
    DNG)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Maci
    ntosh
    Use this converter to convert your files to DNG and try again.

  • Importing raw images into lightroom4 without automatically editing.

    when importing my raw images into lightroom4 they are automatically editing how do i change this?

    My guess is that you just don't understand how Lr4 (and every other raw converter) works.
    There is no such thing as viewing a raw file, only viewing the interpretation of a particular converter (of which your camera is the first raw converter to take a whack).
    It's time to learn how to edit with Lr4 - what you start with in Lightroom will *always* be different than your camera, or your manufacturer software, or any other raw converter...
    (assuming it's not an issue of inadvertently changed default settings or settings applied inadvertently upon import...).
    Note: because Lightroom does not take camera-specific things into account, the initial starting point is often less optimized than your camera or manufacturer's rendition (e.g. no luminance noise reduction is applied, active d-lighting is not taken into consideration...)
    PS - Lr4/PV2012 rocks - once you learn how to use it - it's the best!
    A couple of specifics:
    * Lr4 defaults to Adobe Standard (see Camera Calibration section in Develop Module), which tends to be run a little magenta-y, a little cyan-y, and a little bright. Consider a camera emulation profile, or try red (primary) hue +7 and blue (primary) hue +10 for portraits that use Adobe Standard (also camera calibration section). Also try pulling the lights slider left in the parametric tone curve. If you like this for some photo types, roll it into a custom profile using DNG profile editor (can even be precisely calibrated for your specific camera).
    * Lr4 includes a little contrast boost that is not represented by the tone curve (nor the contrast slider). If too much for portraits, try -contrast, or -highlights...

    I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5.  I've been using this for years.  I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message.  I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work.  I checked import menu and nothing has changed.  I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card.  Any thoughts?

    The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
    The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

  • Downloading raw images from Canon Rebel XTi and problem with Border FX

    Aperture no longer downloads raw images from my Canon 400D / Rebel Xti and installed Lexar Professional UDMA card. I am able to download images to my Dell laptop. This is a new phenomenon only occurring since about 10 days ago. I am currently able to download images from my Canon 5D.
    Also, my computer has locked up 4 times today when I have been starting Border FX. I have seen a screen saying that I have to restart my computer by holding down the on button. I have the most recent version of the Border FX software.
    Any suggestions please?

    Join the crowd! I just started to experience exactly the same thing on both of my systems. Apparently the latest raw camera drivers broke something related to Canon Rebel cameras. I'm using the Rebel XT.
    I tried a quick experiment the other day. I shot a bunch of test photos forcing the camera to store them as JPEGs. I was able to download those without a problem. I then forced the camera back to raw mode and shot a few more pictures on the same memory card. The JPEGs that I was able to download previously no longer will download and neither will the raw files.
    I tried reverting to the older camera raw driver on my notebook but for some reason it won't let me do that. I haven't tried reverting on the desktop yet.
    Hopefully this problem is fixed quickly. I've got a ton of pictures from a recent vacation I'd like to off load.
    By the way, this affects the iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture apps.

  • Incorrect colors after importing a RAW image into LR

    I shoot in RAW mode using Canon EOS 400D.
    After importing RAW images into LR, EVERY image I shot gets oversaturated with green-yellow colors. If I open same image in C1 Pro colors look fine.
    If I change shooting mode on my camera to JPG (using sRGB color space) and import image into LR, colors look same as on RAW image in C1 Pro. All settings in LR and C1 Pro are set to default.
    My guess is that LR applies wrong (camera?) profile when it imports a RAW image. I don't think it's a difference in RAW converters, because the difference in colors is really huge.
    In the Camera Calibration panel I see ACR 3.6 profile selected and all settings are set to 0. Using sliders I can correct colors on image, but I failed to make a generic preset that could be applied on all imported RAW images.
    My monitor (Samsung 940BF) is setup to use manufacturer ICC profile. I tried to change it to sRGB or Adobe RGB, it doesn't help. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    Any thoughts on how to return colors back to normal?
    Here are 2 examples of the same image converted by:

    Morey,
    there is no such options as "import settings into LR" you have to put the ACR-settings-file into the "~/Library/Adobe Lightroom/Develop Presets" folder (on a Mac). I think in the end its faster to just copy the numbers manually from ACR and save the preset from within LR.
    No, I don't think that calibrating has anything to do with profiles, at least not from what I understand as a profile (like sRGB or ProPhoto profile). It is kind of changing the stored default calibration values for a given camera type (something which one of course could also call a profile). It is definitive not like doing any double profiling or so.
    @Lee Jay,
    on different forums you can find values for ACR camera calibration of different cameras, googling should reveal some. Problem is that the numbers for the calibration change with the lens and, more important, there seems to be a lot of leeway regarding the behaviour of individual cameras of the same model. I found a lot of numbers on the net which didn't work with my D70, in the end I had to calibrate it myself. But your experience might differ, so I would suggest that you just have a look at what google offers.
    One last thing: You don't need to buy a PS version which is compatible with ACR 3.7 or 4.0. You can use the 30 day trial version of PS for this. Afterall you most probably only need to calibrate each camera once and I doubt that Adobe disapproves this use of a trial version as long as it helps to sell LR. ;-)
    Bye,
    Carsten

  • How may I stitch within Lr4 2-5 raw images into pano's, shot with my D800

    How may I stitch within Lr4 2-5 raw images into pano's, shot with my D800?

    I am running LR4.2 and Photoshop CS6 Ext (most recent version) on a Windows 7 Pro PC.
    I did a Pano Merge the day before yesterday.
    1. In LR4.x, select the photos you want to merge (I like to do a Lens Profile, White Balance and Noise Reduction on them first. I do this on a representative image.  Then I Synch those sttings across the selected images.)
    2. Right Click on one of the selected images or a selected Thumbnail in the filmstrip.
    3. In the pop-out menu, select "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop CS6" (I think that's close to the exact wording.)
    4. After some crunching, you will get a merge Window which allows you to select other options for the merge.  This happens after LR4 exports copies of the images selected.
    5. Select your options and start the merge.
    I hope that helps.
