Integrating Canon Raw Converter with Aperture (for G9)

This is a follow up question to an email I posted last night on Apertures incompatibility with Canon G9 Raw Format.
DOes anyone or has anyone tried to integrate the Canon Raw Converter that came with the G9 in with Aperture? I thought of it this morning. My thought is to identify the Canon Raw converter as the external editor. Changes can be made in Canon RAW then saved. There would be the additional picture created in Aperture that I can modify. Granted the saved format would need to be a jpeg or tiff file format.
Any thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
Also, what is a high quality format the file can be saved once changes are made in Canon RAW?
Thanks

Using 'Open in External Editor' in Aperture tells Aperture to convert the RAW file to either a TIFF or PSD and send that to the external editor, not the RAW file. So if a camera is unsupported by Aperture you can't use the command...

  • When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
    1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
    2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
    3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
    4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do  with either Finder or Preview.
    5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

  • RAW compatability in Aperture for Canon 6D

    I seem to have a problem with the RAW compatability in Aperture even though I have installed the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.4.8. which should support my camera Canon EOS 6D. Who can help me?

    No idea, but have you also updated Aperture to 3.4.3? The footnote in the raw support list (http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html) states
    "*** Requires Aperture 3.4 or later."
    I seem to have a problem with the RAW compatability
    What exactly is the problem? DO the images show as unsupported, when you import them?

  • Do I need an external raw editor with Aperture?

    Sorry for the simple question - I'm an unsophisticated photographer just dipping toes in RAW stuff
    Does Aperture have the same functionality as the external RAW editors like Sony Image Data Converter and the various Canon tools etc?
    What I am asking is - do I need to install these and use them as external editors or can I achieve mostly the same thing in Aperture on the raw/arw images?
    I don't agonise over the detail but I would like to tinker and experiment, but having an extra tool is a bit annoying.
    Cheers, Z

    Aperture is a generic third party raw converter, like Lightroom, Aftershot, DxO, Capture 1, and several others.
    Canon DPP, Sony IDC, etc are specific converters for their own brand of cameras only. As such they offers features that make use of manufacturer knowledge about the raw, the sensors, the lenses, the camera settings and so forth.
    The third party solutions like Aperture compete pretty well in terms of the basic raw conversion, but only have limited access to some of the camera specifics, so can't fully compete when it comes to some of the cameras advanced processing options (for example diffraction compensation offered in some recent cameras)
    Where third party solutions compete is in their ability to support raw from multiple brands of camera and by providing a much larger set of additional features.
    Aperture provides excellent features to support the entire workflow process from initial capture to final publishing.
    Its raw conversions are generally excellent in terms of the detail/noise balance. Colour and tone is usually a bit neutral or flat and needs adjusting to taste to make them pop, but the use of presets can make this fast and semi-automatic (contrast this with Lightroom which applies a profile that gives a much punchier default conversion). However, specific results will usually vary by camera; Canon, Sony and Olympus and Fuji conversions are usually well regarded, while Nikon users seem to be the most vocal about apertures flat conversions.
    The use of in camera settings (tricks) designed to extend dynamic range can impact the raw processing. Where Aperture can read and understand the settings (like Fuji's DRx00% settings) it does a good job, but I see occasional issues reported from Nikon users about issues when using its ADL feature.
    So whether you will need an additional raw tool will ultimately be down to what cameras and lenses you use and you own impressions of what you think of Apertures conversions for that equipment.
    Unfortunately, there is no longer a demo version for you to try for yourself, although I've seen some comments here about purchasing and then asking for a refund if you are not happy, but I doubt that is official policy but perhaps contact App store support and ask.
    When I bought the wrong Bourne movie in iTunes, at first I thought they'd given me the wrong one and complained. Then I realised it was my mistake so told them to forget the complaint. They emailed back saying they had refunded my purchase as it wasn't what I intended to buy. I've had several other dealings along related lines and I have to say I've never been on the wrong end of one their decisions, they have always played very fair with me.

  • How can I use EOS 6D RAW files with Aperture 3.2.4?

    The EOS 6D RAW support for Aperture requires Aperture 3.4 or later. I tried to update to Aperture 3.4 but that requires OSX 10.8.3. I am stuck with OSX 10.6.8 for a while because I use Adobe CS5.5 and it is not compatable with newer OSX. So i do not seem to have a path for 6D RAW support. I can use my EOS 20D RAW files just fine. What is it about the 6D RAW file that necessitates OSX 10.6.8 or Aperture 3.4?

    The common way is to try converting to DNG and then use the DNGs with Aperture. The drawback (other than the format conversion) is you lose camera specific optimisations with the DNG (mostly noise reduction tweaks for specific ISO values and colour tweaks).
    In the past it would have been easy to edit a few config files to get Aperture to recognise new cameras with similar sensor tech as existing cameras, but this data is now encoded so can't be changed. It is a bit frustrating when you know there is nothing special about the sensor and Aperture would be able to process the data just fine.

  • RAW conversion with Aperture

    Has anyone compared the quality of RAW conversion of Aperture vs. Nikon Capture as well as other converters?
    I really like the quality of nikon capture and would not want to purchase aperture unless the conversion was at least equivalent.
    Thanks for any input.

    I've compared Aperture's conversion side by side with Adobe Camera Raw's. My method was to do some conversions with Camera Raw and save the result along with the RAW file. Then, in the Apple Store, I performed the conversions using Aperture.
    The results from Aperture are not good. They look okay at reduced size, but if you look more closely, the de-mosaicing Aperture performs is quite bad. On some images it is only "somewhat" worse than Camera Raw; on others it is so bad as to be unusable. Shadow detail suffers the most, but highlights are not immune. Some images showed color fringing that was not present in the Camera Raw conversion, even with all chromatic aberration adjustments set to zero in Camera Raw.
    I ignored differences in color and tonal rendering because I did not have enough time with Aperture to learn to get the best results out of it in terms of color. It takes a while to figure out how to get good color out of a RAW converter.
    In no case was Aperture as good as Adobe Camera Raw in terms of image quality. The difference was immediately obvious at 100% magnification.
    I would not use Aperture for RAW conversion.
    EDIT: I forgot to mention, in case it matters, my camera is a Nikon D2X.

  • Big difference in RAW converter between Aperture and Nikon Capture NX

    hi
    here's a quick photo for comparing (hosted on my site since it's huge):
    http://www.raffaz.net/stuff/nx_aperture.png (4.4mb uncompressed PNG file)
    I'm quite disappointed by some aspects of Aperture's RAW handling... or at least, by comparing it to Capture NX.
    by looking at the picture, you can instantly see that NX raw photo is much sharper, and it is nearly perfect (apart from the not-perfect photo itself).
    by looking at Aperture's shot, you can see that it's blurry, with moirè and noise-like problems..
    the screenshots are 100% crops from the latest versions of the applications, using flat settings as you can see (just import, deselect everything the app will do), the camera is a Nikon D70, the lens is a 18-70 f3.5 and the file is a .NEF (nikon raw). settings for the photo are ISO200, f8, 1/15, 50mm on tripod.
    I admit I'm very surprised by this difference. I'm using the trial of NX (just wanted to test it since it's brand new) and when I noticed all these differences I was shocked. I'm not saying that NX is better than Aperture, I think that Aperture is still unbeaten in a lot of fields, but could someone please explain me this huge difference in quality?
    if needed, I can provide more screenshots with other photos

    I dont like Capture NX one bit, its just as slow and sluggish as the previous version. The reason why pics often look better in Capture is becuase Nikon wrote it, after all the NEF format is theres.
    To be honest Capture NX cannot be compared to Aperure there not in the same league, and you can pick up Aperture for the Same price as Capture NX on ebay brand new i would alwasy go for aperture far better value for money IMHO.

  • No Nikon D3100 raw support with Aperture 2

    I have Aperture 2, and have recently bought a Nikon D3100. All updates have been made, and I am able to see the raw files with Preview. But they are still not recognized by the Aperture 2 application.
    Is it a bug? What gives?

    With all due respect this has nothing to do with "gaming". LR2 users can't update to ACR6 either, same situation.
    I feel frustrated. Now I'll have to start using other application, since I will not continue to invest on an application that does not update raw support and tries to game me into upgrading.
    So you're willing to buy a whole new application instead of paying for the $99 upgrade? And this application will offer you lifetime support for any new camera bodies, no upgrades required, ever? Hmm...
    It's the reality of software: at some point, you need to upgrade. Like it or not.
    The advantages of AP3 over AP2 for any serious photographer are well worth the minimal upgrade cost. The RAW updates last for the life cycle of the product they're aimed at. When a new version comes out support usually follows. This isn't necessarily fun but pretty standard all around.

  • Cannot find raw converter plug in for CS3 / Nikon D90

    I was adviced to go to adobe.com and make a search for raw converter, and that gave me hundreds of results, but no converter plug in,
    Can someone give me a direct link
    Thanks

    You want the DNG converter from here
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4365
    It is not a plug-in but a standalone program which converts raw files to the DNG format that can be read in PS/Bridge.

  • I can't convert .cr2 canon raw files with DNG converter.

    I have a Canon 1000D, and im trying to open RAW files to edit in cs4. Everytime i open it, photoshop says that it doesnt recognise this type of file, but i open my friends RAW file (450D) and it can read it. I have also downloaded DNG converter, and it comes up with this message (first image) but my folder has .cr2 files......im really lost
    I have also asked for help on the photoshop forum, but they referred me here...
    Thanks

    That file is only 2.7 megabytes.  Raw files are usually larger.  That likely means it's truncated (cut off prematurely).

  • What raw converter do Aperture users employ for files that Aperture will not convert

    I would like to know what raw converters might be recommmended by experienced Aerture uers, for those files, and there are many, which Aperture (and MAC OS) will not process.

    Interesting. What type of sensor is in the camera? Just found this page while searching for something else: Aperture 2 and 3: Tips on Baseline DNG support
    There is this:
    DNG images created by cameras with Foveon sensors are not supported. The image data format with Foveon sensors is very different from that of the Bayer sensors used by most cameras.
    Keep us posted.

    Unfortunately I still have the problem. When importing pictures via Canon Utility in iPhoto, the editing window was fine. But shutting down iphoto and re-opening the problem appears. So the problem is not related to the importing method.
    I confirm that these are the pictures imported after Yosemite intallation. With mavericks it was ok. The old pictures are not affected.

  • RAW support in Aperture for Sony R1

    For Aperture 1.5 the Tech Specs indicate that it supports RAW format for Sony DSC-F828, DSC-V3 and DSLR-A100.
    Does anyone know if it then also supports Sony's DSC-R1 digital camera?
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello,
    Unfotunately it doesn't work at all with the DSC-R1. The new OS system as well as Aperture 1.5 don't provide support for RAW format coming from the DSC-R1.
    A few months ago though, you could see on the list of supported camera for Aperture 1.x < 1.5 a possible support for DSC-R1 (the name on list was followed by a star). This was also before the entry on the market of the alpha-100 Sony-Minolta. This is sad, as I guess they preferred tp support a wider spectrum of sold camera with the alpha, on the hypothesis that Sony would sell a lot of them, in fact much more than the DSC-R1.
    Personaly, I will try to crack the system to include the DSC-R1, following the instructions provided on this forum.
