Import RAW images from Sony A100 DSLR?

iPhoto 6 does not import RAW images taken with my Sony A100 DSLR. I can view the images with preview, so apparently Mac OS X knows how to handle them. But, iPhoto just says there are no pictures to import.
I installed the Aperture trial, and it handled the RAW images, as does the Adobe Lightroom beta4. But, not iPhoto6.
I am running all the latest patches, with 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro.
Does RAW work for anyone else with this camera? Any suggestions for workarounds?

I messed around with this a bit more and found that if I manually import the RAW images, it works fine. But, iPhoto still does not recognize new pictures and import them automatically.
I can also see them in Finder and Preview, so I know the OS support is up to date. Also, I tried it on my Mac Mini, and the mini recognized the raw pictures and imported them as I would expect.
The RAW updater only mentions Canon, Nikon, and Pentax as being addressed. I did install it, but it may not be necessary.
This article on Apple's site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303554
says you need 10.4.8 to support Sony RAW pictures.

  • How do I import RAW images from Sony NEX 5-R to iPhoto?

    I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2 and have installed Digital Camera RAW compatability update 4.01 but still can't import RAW images from my new Sony NEX 5-R digital camera.. any ideas? I also have Photoshop CS6 - should I import through that if iPhoto isn't a feasible option..?

    This is the list of currently supported cameras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
    Note: The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

    Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • Importing RAW images from Canon 450D SLR

    I run iPhoto 6 and I have recently updated my digital SLR from a Canon 300D to a 450D. I was able to import CRW Raw files from the 300D but iPhoto will not import Raw images from the 450D (jpegs are ok), which are now coded CR2 instead of CRW. I note that there is a Raw image software update, available but this is only for iPhoto 8. Short of updating to iPhoto 8 is there another solution?

    I was afraid that might be the answer, but many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Regards

  • Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

    Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto.  with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

    Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different  RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
    In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

  • I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df.

    Hello,
    I have a late '11 Macbook Pro that currently has OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto version 9.2.1  and for some reason I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df memory card. 
    I don't know if I have something wrong in my settings or if my current iPhoto and/or OSX needs to be upgraded.  Is there anyone here that would be so kind to help this technically challenged old man and tell me what I need to do?
    Many thanks!

    You'll need OS 10.9 Mavericks and Camera Raw update 5.0.2 and Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.
    The good news is that all those updates are free as you have 10.7.
    As always, back up all data before upgrading anything.

  • Import raw images from canon eos 1000d to aperture 3

    Raw images from Canon EOS 1000D appear garbled tried using  all (?) import methods without success. Camera on firmware version 1.0.7
    HELP!
    Geoff

    Running Aperture Trial 3.1.2  all updates completed.
    May have solved one problem & got another!
    I can now import RAW images by selecting 'Raw' rather than 'Raw + L' on camera menu.This leaves me with all large files - potential future storage problem.  Looking into this.
    Thanks for reply though

  • Importing RAW images from Canon EOS 550D

    I've used iPhoto 8 (version 7.1.5) with a Canon Powershot. Everything working fine.
    I just bought a Canon EOS 550D. Importing JPEG files is OK; But iPhoto refuses to import the RAW images from the 550D.
    How can I solve this problem ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera is new and not supported as yet by either Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475?viewlocale=en_US
    or Snow Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
    Evidently the camera is so new that even the Adobe Camera RAW converter doesn't support it yet - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    You'll have to use another application that does recognize that format or shoot the highest quailty JPEG the camera provides until support is offered.
    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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • I'm trying to import RAW images from my new Fugifilm X-T1. iPhoto says the files are "unrecognizable".Any ideas?

    I'm trying to import RAW images into iPhoto from my Fugifilm X-T1 camera. I get a message saying the "file cannot be recognized". Any ideas ?

    Not necessarily.  Some  "glitches" were experienced by a significant number of users but not all of us, like the WiFi problem.  Those that experienced these issues did have a miserable time of it trying to get things right.  Personally I had no issues.  I did, however, boot into the Recovery volume after installing Yosemite and after each update to repair disk permissions and the disk.  There were a lot of permissions repaired each time.
    Remember millions have upgraded to Yosemite and the number of those having problems is probably a very, very small percentage of them.  That doesn't negate the problems they're having but sometimes overshadows the large percentage of those not having problems.  
    If you plan on upgrading to Yosemite do not run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" applications on your Mac or have any anti virus software installed.  Neither are necessary and are know to do more harm that good.

  • "unsupported image file" when importing RAW images from Olympus E-PL1

    When I try to import images save in RAW format on the camera, the images import but they can't be displayed (all I get is a warning triangle with the words "unsupported image format" below it, though in the import preview the images are displayed properly.
    EDIT: just noticed that the E-PL1 isn't listed as being supported, just the E-P1 & 2
    Message was edited by: drathquark

    Apple have just included RAW support for the Olympus E-PL1 with the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.3 - iPhoto can now import RAW files from the E-PL1.

  • Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

    Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

    When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
    This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

  • Problem importing RAW images from my Nikon D80

    Hi.
    I'm having some problems importing images from my Nikon D80 when I've been taking photos in RAW format. IPhoto recognises the camera as usual, and allows me to name and describe the roll. However, it then seems to freeze and won't import the photos.
    IF I stop the import, then open the camera as a disk, I can physically grab the .NEF files from their folder and drop them into iPhoto where the import will carry on as expected.
    Any ideas?

    See my reply to your other post.
