HT3946 Aperture 3 Support for Pentax K-30 RAW?

I'm curious about when/if RAW support will be updated for Pentax K-30?
Is there a Support Page for Aperture where one can submit support requests?
Thanks very much,
Also looking for awesome online training courses for Aperture, and RAW processing.

Paul,
see this page for the currently available raw support:

I'm curious about when/if RAW support will be updated for Pentax K-30?
Nobody here knows the answer to this; only Apple can tell, and this is a user-to-user forum.
To submit a request, use the Aperture feedback form directly from the Aperture application menu:
Apple - Aperture - Feedback

  • Support for Pentax K-5 RAW PEF wanted

    Request to add support for Pentax RAW PEFs for newly released Pentax K-5. Needed much.

    To send your request to Apple you really should used the "Provide Aperture Feedback" in the pulldown menu under Aperture.
    This is a user to user forum where you are talking to other users like yourself and not Apple.

  • Aperture support for fuji X-T1 raw files

    How quickly does aperture update for raw files for a recently released camera?

    Thanks for the link, William.  However, from the Aperture site, they don't seem to be in any hurry.  The X-E2 isn't even listed there.  It's hard to know which direction to go with Adobe costing so much more than it used to.  Since I use layers and masks quite a bit, I need to update my raw converter, since I use CS5.

  • RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)

    Any idea when we will be able to see RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)? I know I can use DNG, but not PEF currently. I am assuming for DNG, there is no dedicated camera profile yet.

    I figure:
    * Longer than I can hold my breath
    * Before the earth is swallowed up by the red giant of the sun.
    That said, nobody here knows the answer.  Hopefully it won't be too long.

  • Aperture support for Nikon 1 AW 1

    Is there Aperture # support for Nikon 1 AW 1 .nef file format??

    Frank
    The AW 1 became available about the first of November.
    I'm running Aperture 3.5, OS X Mavericks 10.9, and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.01
    What is surprising is that I understood that the AW 1 contained the same sensor etc of the V2. It was the waterproof shockproof body that was the big change.
    Thanks for the quick response.

  • Will be full support for Pentax K-5?

    Will be a full support for Pentax K-5 in Lightroom 3.4? I mean camera profiles (I don't like adobe standard).

    There is full support for the this camera in 3.3.
    3.4 RC is presently out, so try it and see.
    If what you mean is will Adobe make any more calibration profiles other than the initial one, the Adobe standard, this is pretty unlikely. If there is a particular problem with the profile sometimes they re write them, but this is usually done following users raising problems at the RC stage.. They usually only provide extra calibrations for Canon and Nikon cameras.
    Nothing to stop you using the free tools supplied by Adobe to make your own.

  • Camera RAW image support for Pentax K100D

    Hi,
    Firstly, let me just say I have a MacBook Pro which came preloaded with Tiger. A month or so ago I upgraded to Leopard and I have applied all the available Apple software update.
    I recently got a Pentax K100D digital SLR camera capable of taking images in RAW format (the pentax saves these with a .PEF file extension) and I have been trying to view these images in Leopard. I read the article below, which says that Leopard provides system-level support for the Pentax K100D camera RAW format.
    *Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5*
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
    Now, my problem is that I cannot seem to be able to open the .PEF files with neither Quick Look, Preview, iPhoto or Aperture. Basically, none of these programs seem to be able to display my .PEF files. Aperture says 'unsupported image format'.
    I have installed the software that came with my Pentax (i.e. Pentax Photo Browser and Pentax Photo Laboratory) and these applications can display the .PEF images just fine. For what it's worth, I installed this software before I upgraded to Leopard.
    If I right-click on a .PEF file in Finder, the only programs listed in the Open context menu are the above two Pentax applications.
    So, what am I missing? Clearly something seems to be screwy in my Leopard set up. Is there some way to 'repair' the RAW image support in Leopard??
    I would appreciate any help in fixing this as I would really like to start working with RAW images in Aperture and iPhoto.
    Finally, just be aware that I am not an experienced Mac user. I have always used Windows until now and so... if you have a fix for this I would really appreciate a slightly more elaborate response.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eddie

    I have done a little more research on this...
    As it turns out, my camera is a Pentax K100D Super - not a K100D. The K100D Super is not listed as one of the supported camera RAW formats in the aforementioned article. So I guess this means that my camera is as yet unsupported. Sigh...

  • Still no support for Pentax K20D RAW???

    I could understand if the camera was just announced, or just came out last week, or even last month - but this camera has been on the market for 3 months now! C'mon Apple!
    Any word about when we might see support for RAW files from Pentax/Samsung CMOS cameras in Aperture or even iPhoto? Adobe is already there...

    I totally agree. PEF is matched to the new CMOS sensor and you are right, the files are considerably smaller. I really hope Apple will support PEF. I have sent feedback, but I imagine if there isn't much call for it, they won't feel it's urgent.

  • Support for Pentax K20D RAW?

    The Pentax K20D employs a CMOS sensor that seems not to be supported by Aperture. I don't really know if the Pentax DNG alternative captures everything that the new sensor can deliver (that's ignorance not doubt, btw). I know the PEF format does.
    Is there any way to know how soon Aperture might have native support for the new sensor used in the K20D?

    Supported cameras are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Apple doesn't discuss updates typically, so no ETA on if/when it will be supported. Once of the things on Aperture 2.0 was that future camera support should hopefully come more quickly, but the only way to really know is to submit feedback and wait.

  • RAW support for Pentax K3

    When will Aperture RAW support be updated for Pentax K3 be added?  It's already on Adobe Lightroom....!

    I my exeprience, I'd say when it's ready and not a moment sooner.
    Lightroom is always pretty quick off the mark with support, but sometimes that carries a quality cost, like happened with the Fuji X100 and X-Trans sensors. Lightroom's support came out first, but Aperture's came out better.
    I have a similar frustration having just bought a Sony A7. But I simply shoot raw+JPEG and use the JPEGs until the raw support is ready.
    A side benefit of this approach is it makes you get to know the camera settings a little better in order to make the best JPEG.
    If I have an emergency and really messed up a shot and need the raw to recover it, I use the raw converter supplied with the camera to make a better conversion in a TIFF and then add that to Aperture.

  • RAW support for Pentax istDS2

    Would like to buy aperature, but istDS2 not supported. Is this a possible solution? (from http://ok1000.blogspot.com/2006/06/waiting-for-aperture-and-iphoto.html)
    If you have OS 10.4.6 or later, but don't have support for your Pentax's .PEF format, the trick is to dig down to the .PLIST settings text file that Apple's RAW support looks into when opening RAW files, and to create a custom entry for your camera, such as the *ist DS. Brought to you by Karl Geiger from the Aperture Forums, with my special thanks to Peter Gnemmi, here's a recipe for getting your DS .PEFs into iPhoto and Aperture.
    Keen to try this, but don't want to screw up the application - suggestions?

    Why don't you post you question in the Aperture
    forum?
    As I understand it, recognizing the specific camera
    is part of the system recognizing this particular
    camera, which would then likely cover iPhoto as well
    as Aperature
    Thanks for the reply...new to this forum.

  • Aperture support for unsupported raw formats

    I was doing some tests with Aperture to see if it could fit my workflow. My concern was support of old files from a Nikon Coolpix 5400, raw (thanks to firmware update at the time) as well as a recent Nikon DSLR. No problem with the DSLR. 5400 was not supported. After some internet research I found out there is a pref file (Raw.plist in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources) that has info about all supported cameras. This add raw support for the cameras listed in the file for Preview, iPhoto, Aperture (system-wide). Same list that Apple provides as camera compatibility list.
    In that list I chose to duplicate the NIKON-E8400 array and renamed it NIKON-E5400. Didn't change any value in the array. To my surprise, even without rebooting, this added support for the Nikon Coolpix 5400 images. The image looks pretty much the same with these default settings (when opened in Preview for example) than it does in ACR in CS2. The only odd difference is the image size loosing 10 vertical pixels (from 2592x1944 opened in ACR CS2 to 2592x1934). I have no idea why it does this but it is no big deal really as it is no scaling, just loss of pixels.
    I am a bit concerned of course about the possibility to carry on this tweak in the next OS updates.
    I guess any raw from any camera could have support this way.
    Just need to name the array in Raw.plist properly. For mine I just opened a raw in text edit and saw first line the name of camera, was "NIKONE5400". I compared the format of this name to other names in the array and decided to add the "-" to look like others so "NIKON-E5400", and that was it. Now I was lucky the default setting for the 8400 I used as a base worked for the 5400, apparently. It could have not been the case and then I would have had to play with the values in the array. Quite a few so a long process I am afraid, but possible.
    The deal would be to release a little utility software that would let us play with these values easily and see a result live on a sample image, and once satisfied it would modify this Raw.plist file. This way people could add support to their own raws.
    If anyone in the know sees a big issue in doing what I did please tell.
    Of course playing with this Raw.plist file is at your own risks so keep backup and bee careful.
    The tweaking of this raw.plist file had been talked about in different forum in the past concerning the support of Canon 3xxD that had a different US name Rebel something. The change of name of the corresponding array added support before an OS update did it for everyone.

    I also modified my Raw.plist file to import RAW files from my Olympus C-5050Z. But that doesn't make Aperture import a type of RAW file it didn't support before. It just turns out that your Nikon 5400 RAW files are the same format as the Nikon 8400 files except for size, just as my Olympus C-5050 files are substantially similar to the Olympus C-7070 files. I think the Raw.plist file used by ImageIO contains hints on how to treat the data and color in the images and as long as the cameras don't behave too differently, substituting one model with another will work.
    The RAW.plist file is a standard plist file that can be examined and modified with the Property List Editor. What I would like to see is documentation of the parameters so that we can more easily add support for cameras that aren't supported out of the box.

  • .DNG support for Pentax K10D

    Has anyone heard whether Aperture is going to support DNG for the Pentax K10D anytime in the near future?
    It's a bummer not being able to just hook up the camera and go. The converter in CS2 is getting old and I'd like to be able to preview and back them up as I go.
    Note: I tend to take rumors seriously...feel free to muse.

    by the way, instead of asking users who actually
    don't have any true insight into the Aperture
    development team's agenda about support for your
    camera, have you thought of sending a request through
    the Aperture feedback web site? this will get the
    idea in front of a lot of people who are actually
    working on the application
    Camera raw stuff is not handled by Aperture, and therefore I assume also not by the Aperture team. The camera raw facilities are system wide, to the whole OS and the services are provided through the Apple Digital Camera Raw updates such as this...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawsupportupdate101universal .html
    These updates are global to OSX and provide the camera raw services to any application running under OSX. Aperture is a consumer of these services in the same way that any other application is.
