Imported Raw Photos from my Olympus OM-D 5 very dark

All of a sudden in the last month or two all my imported photos from my Olympus OM-D 5 turn out quite dark (a full stop or two) after "processing". It seems as if the most recent camera raw processing makes the photos darker as they are lighter before the "processing" starts. It looks like I can change the import settings to increase the exposure a stop or two.
Any other suggestions that I am missing.
Thank you in advance

Are you using any in-camera settings when you are taking the photos, that modify the exposure? Aperture's RAW developments ignores the camera settings, it only processes the RAW.

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

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:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

HT5182 How do I import RAW photos from canon 7d to my new iPad 4?

Use the Apple Camera connection Kit and connect your camera directly to the iPad. Turn on the camera and you'll get an option to import.

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

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

I have a new Mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension. I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

I have a new mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF. Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear. I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one. Any ideas?

You do not need to convert to DNG.
The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4. Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually. There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page. You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

How can I get PSE 10 to import RAW photos from my Fuji x-m1 camera?

I have Fuji X-M1. PSE 10 will not import RAW files from it. Is there an update or file that I can download so that it will do this

The Fuji X-M1 requires Camera Raw 8.2 or later which is only compatible with Elements 12 or later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Camera Raw 8.2 is not compatible with Elements 10 so you cannot open Raw files from that camera with Elements 10.
You can either upgrade to Elements 12 or download the free Adobe DNG Converter, convert all Fuji X-M1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10.

Why can't i import raw photos from canon powershoot G2?

i have a powerbook with 1.25 G4 processor and am using iphoto 6.0.5. i also just installed the raw support update. i tried to import the photos again and no luck. i get this error message
"the following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/CRW_4307.CRW

/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/CRW_4310.CRW
any help would be great

Thanks for your reply my ginger,
I have looked at changing settings but until I can actually import the pics into iPhoto, I am reluctant to change anything. Reading the link you mention, it would appear that the pics should be imported into iPhoto 11 albeit in j-peg format so they can then be processed using the Raw converter. Think I will have to spend some time when I am not so busy looking into all the options, thought this was going to be a simple thing to put right.
Thanks again ,
Dave.

IPhoto no longer impots RAW photos from my Nikon D80

Recently I had to archive and re-install OSX 10.4 because of a DVD read problem. Following a successful reload which included the combo updater to 10.4.8 and all software updates my iPhoto 6.0.5 version has stopped importing RAW photos from my Nikon D80 camera. Prior to the Archive and re-install, sometime in December I downloaded the software update -"DigitalCameraRAWUniv200601" this enabled iPhoto to work with my camera. I assume this update has somehow become separated from iPhoto, when I tried to reload the update it tells me it is already installed on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall it and then reload the update in order to re-establish conformity with my D80 camera.

louvic
re-installing the app will not affect your library or your photos. These are stored at Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library Folder. Of course, you should always have a back up anyway.
To re-install the app, trash the iPhoto in your Applications folder. Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
Then you can re-install. When you click on the installer on your iLIfe DVD there is an option to Custom Install. (look at the lower left of the Window). There you can select what to install and what to leave out.
I'm interested to see if this works. AFAIK the interaction with RAW is governed by the OS, not iPhoto - for instance Aperture would use the same technologies - hence my suggestion to re-apply the 10.4.8 update in my first post.
Good Luck.

Unable to import raw photos

I am unable to import raw photos from my Nikon D5300. The thumbnails come up but are grayed out with "preview unavailable for this file" any suggestions? I can import jpg.

Support for your camera model was added with the release of Lightroom 5.3.
What version are you currently running?

If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

"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

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.

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

I can't see RAW photos (from Nikon D3100) in iPhoto...

Hi!!
I am trying to import photos from mi Nikon D3100 to Iphoto 11, but there is a problem: I can't open the photos; the files are located in the folder of Iphoto Library, but it can´t be open by Iphoto. The extension file is.raw, but i have updated Iphoto to get compatibility with this extension file.
What can I do?

I had import the photos from NikonD3100 with Iphoto; after finishing, appears a message "photos have been imported ok"or something similar. But the events created are empty, there are no photos inside. Then, I thought that the problem was in the import, but I looked for the photos in the Iphoto Library with the finder, and the files were ther. I think that the problem colud be related with the .raw extension file (but I have all updated...)
Thank you for your help from Spain
Regards
Alex
