Importing RAW files from iPad into Aperture

Hello,
While on the go, I used the camera connection kit to import some RAW files (.NEF from a Nikon D300s) into my iPad directly from the SD card. The files where correctly imported, they display perfectly in the iPad screen and I was surprised to see no lagging when zooming such big files.
Now the bad thing. When I got back home I tried to import such files into a new Aperture project. When I connect the iPad to my mac, although it takes some time, all the pictures are correctly displayed, but when I hit the import button, aperture keeps turning the task indicator wheel without ever importing a single picture! Cancelling the import task does not work and the only way to get Aperture to work again is by force quitting it.
Any ideas?
Ps.: all my software is updated and running the latest versions (Aperture 3, mac OS X 10.6.4, etc)

The reason why the iPad shows the images so quick is because it is not showing the actual raw data like Aperture does. Instead the iPad does the same as the camera does when showing the photo on your LCD. Each RAW file has an embedded JPG preview. The iPad (and your camera) show that preview image. There is no raw processing happening.
Not sure why copying or importing to Aperture causes you trouble. As soon as I plug my iPad into the USB to my PC it shows up as a folder. I can copy the files from there to my computer.

  • Will we ever be able to import RAW files from iPad camera roll into Lightroom Mobile?

    Is this a planned feature, or should I look elsewhere for iPad photo editing?
    I only shoot in RAW and I would sometimes like to do a quick edit in the field. As it stands, Lightroom Mobile is a completely useless application for me. Needing to import the photos to my Macbook in order to use a dumbed-down version of Lightroom makes no sense to me. Why do I need Lightroom Mobile if I need to have my computer with me to use it anyways?
    Without this feature, I don't quite understand what Lightroom Mobile is supposed to accomplish. Is it purely for people who only own a desktop and need to perform basic edits on the go? Is that a large enough demographic to develop an entire app? Even if it is meant for only those people, it would still likely be far more useful to them if they could import RAW photos in the field and not have to stop by their studio/home to import and move into a collection first.

    The likely real reason why Adobe doesn't do this yet even though many people have requested it is that it would cost them dearly in bandwidth and storage capacities. Right now only smallish lossy compressed, downscaled dngs or simple jpegs travel to and from Adobe's servers which is tenable. Sending full raw files from 24+ MP cameras is probably not something they can realistically do yet. Having the iPad try to generate the lossy dng will likely show how very low powered they are in comparison to a simple laptop and is likely not yet a realistic solution so you'd still have to send the file online and have the dng generated by a server.
    I use the mobile thing for simple iPad slideshows and simple portfolios. The color is really good as the current generation of iPad screens is very well done with close to sRGB gamut. I'll sometimes do some simple edits but it is really not very useful for that yet. It shows promise but is not useful as a laptop replacement yet on trips. You're better off getting a lightweight laptop (many cheapo ultralight windows ones out there nowadays and the MacBook Airs are great for this) and running the full Lightroom on that if you are traveling.

  • How  to import raw files from canon550D into PSE9 ?

    I have just purchased PSE9. I have downloaded
    Camera Raw 5.7 and 6.2 update and installed both...but still I cannot see/open my raw files from canon
    550D - any suggestions...??

    If you right click on one of your Canon CR2 files and choose open with PSE9 it should automatically open in camera raw; you then click open image to send into the Editor.
    If not working, you may have inadvertently installed 5.7. I would suggest you try again with installing the latest plug-in which is 6.2, and follow the instructions carefully as you must only have one file in the camera raw plug-in folder. The links are for PSE8 but will work with PSE9

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

  • 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.

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
    regards
    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

  • New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

    I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit.  LR says there are no other updates to install.  Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen.  I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in.  It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly.  What am I missing?  All suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Mark,
    The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
    Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

  • Problems importing raw files from nikon d610

    My lightroom 4.4 will not import raw files from my new nikon d610. I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
    Please help

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The above link provides the full list of camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. You will note that support for the Nikon D610 was introduced in Lightroom 5.3.
    You have a couple of options
    a. Upgrade your version of Lightroom to version 5, the latest update is LR 5.4. This will provide support for your raw NEF files from your camera. (LR 4 will not have any further updates)
    b. Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4 and convert the NEF files to DNG format and you can then import the DNG files into Lightroom 4. (retain copies of your NEF files for use with the Nikon software or other software that may not read DNG files.)
    Quote " I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
    Please help" If you are referring  to the Adobe DNG Converter if is possible that if you used an older version of Nikon Software to transfer the files from your camera to the computer the files may have been rendered unreadable by Adobe Software.

  • Importing RAW files from Nikon D810 error

    I have tried importing RAW files from my Nikon D810 into LR5 but get an error message that the files are not recognized.
    Raw files from my D800 are imported OK.
    What's the reason for this and what can I do?
    I'm a professional wedding photographer and need to start processing these images ASAP
    I thank anyone for their help!

    LR 5.6 is available as is ACR 8.6 Final.
    Some D810 users on dpreview are finding problems with the "Camera..." profiles in the release version of LR 5.6.  They report some posterisation.  See http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54122110.  I don't have a D810 - only a humble D800 - and I've found no problems with that on LR 5.6, so can't confirm whether there's an issue with the new D810 profiles or not.
    Edit: I've just downloaded a D810 NEF someone posted on that dpreview thread, and in LR 5.6 most of the "Camera..." profiles produce some posterisation, although Adobe Standard is fine.
    If any Adobe staffers are lurking here, they might want to take a look at that thread and see if they can reproduce the issue (or confirm it isn't an issue).

  • Problem importing raw files from camera

    Hello I am new to digital photography and am having trouble importing raw files from my panasonic lumix g1 into elements 7.  I can import them into the software that came with the camera, but I would rather use photoshop.  Can anybody advise me on this?
    Many thanks

    You need to install ACR 5.4 into your PSE 7. Note: ACR 5.5 the latest ACR is still in beta form and will not yet install in PSE 7.

  • Import raw files from XQD cards

    Is premier pro cc  able to import raw files from xqd cards. this video would be shot on Sony new PXW X100 4K CAMERA. Then edited with the raw files?

    You are using the word "RAW" but the camera does not shoot "RAW". Are you askign if you can import Z100 footage into PRemiere CC? Yes you can. I have some Christmas light footage I can play. I can't export it to anything that black bagic media express will recognize and play over a black magic 4k card HDMI to a 4K monitor...

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

    iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

    I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
    I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
    I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
    I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.
