IOS 4.2, raw file support changed?

Since the 4.2 update, photo apps such as Photogene, PhotoForge, Filterstorm no longer work with imported raw files (Nikon NEF from a D50 at least). They either crash or only load the tiny preview image. JPEGs don't seem to be an issue.
Is this a bug in 4.2 perhaps, or have the APIs changed and I need to wait for the app developers to catch up?

I have the same problem with my Pentax RAW files (PEF from K10D). In my case it just always crashes Photoshop Express and "Best Photo".
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I can't find any discussion of this problem elsewhere.

Sony cameras A7 raw files support?

looking for Sony A7 raw files support for i-photo.

1. Well that's not actually true. There is frequently a lag between the release of the camera and Adobe offering Raw support. They are often faster to add it, true, but they do not "always" get converters out before the camera hits the market.
2. I'm not really sure just what this proves, of course. How often do you change cameras?

Olympus e-m5 mark ii raw file support missing in camera raw (pse 13)

Olympus e-m5 mark ii raw file support in camera raw (pse 13).
I cannot open an .orf file from the em-5 mark ii even after installing latest updates for pse13 / camera raw.
Do I have to wait for support to be added by adobe / olympus, or can I do anything against myself.
Thank you,
Peter

You do have to wait, yes. The last updates to Adobe software came out in mid-December and the camera was not commercially available until some weeks or months after then. There is software from Olympus, and perhaps a few others companies that will work, but nothing that will do Adobe rendering, yet. You could use the Olympus software to create TIFs from your raw images and edit those in Photoshop Elements or just shoot RAW+JPG and edit the JPGs until there is an update from Adobe.
I would expect the next update to Adobe software to have support and it's been about 3 months since the last update so one would normally be out about now; however, I think Adobe is actually going to release an entire new version of Lightroom and the camera-raw plug-in with matching functionality, perhaps synchronized with a new version of PS, and if so there are many more things to get working properly before an update can be released. It's possible that updates were planned by this time, and there have been too many bugs to get ironed out and maybe Adobe would release at least a beta DNG Converter that understands the new cameras so people can do something while waiting for the main releases of the new software, but that is more my speculation than anything Adobe has said.
Here is what Eric Chan, and Adobe Camera Raw Engineer, said recently, about the prospects of supporting your camera or any newly released camera:

Raw file support for HS50EXR in LR4

When will raw file support for the new Fuji HS50EXR camera be added to Lightroom 4?
I noticed the the other fuji cameras from the HS/EXR range are supprted but the new HS50EXR has not been added as yet...can i hope that raw file support for the new Fuji HS50EXR camera will be added real soon?...please!

I suspect it might have been released a bit late for the next camera update version, it really depends on how soon Adobe get their hands on a camera.

Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files support in Lightroom 4

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/07/camera-raw-8-6-and-dng-converter-8-6-now-a vailable.html
The above says that Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files are supported in camera raw 8.6. I specifically checked before buying the camera. Everything I have ever read on the Adobe website for some 3+ years said that if a file in supported in Adobe Camera RAW, it is also supported in Lightroom. Particularly, the above URL did NOT give any warning about the FZ10000 RAW files NOT being supported in Lightroom 4. I went ahead and purchased the FZ1000, only to find I'm now having problem with Lightroom 4 not recognising the RAW files at all. I'm really annoyed, as I was so careful to check the Adobe website first. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH CAMERA RAW AND LIGHTROOM?????

I do appreciate the many RAW file formats being created by the camera manufacturers, as I have had varying cameras with the varying formats, and so am very aware of the whole business of making sure how those formats will fit into my software. And, as already stated, appreciate Adobe's efforts to deal with all those formats.
This whole exercise has been upsetting, and there has been some good advice and info provided in this discussion.
And unfortunately, some input that has been a little too technical and not particularly helpful. I feel that some of the input was a little too critical and didn't recognise that maybe some of us aren't so are highly involved and knowledgeable in Adobe products and the technicalities of how the software works, dot versioning of software, executable coding etc. because we don't need to, and shouldn't have to. I have bothered to learn Lightroom well in terms of its functionality including matters raised by you (eg making LRoom edits visible in other software, knowing that LR is not making changes to the actual files, rather they are in sidecar or xmp files etc.). I have bothered to learn a reasonable amount of computer-related info to understand things in plain English terms, such as "to have PShop and LRoom to recognise my RAW files, I need to have ACR. To have them run on my PC, they must be compatible with Windows operating system version xxx. For many people, this level of knowledge should be enough.
I have NOT said I expect Adobe to get advance copies of file formats from manufacturers; I have NOT said that I expect Adobe to support every new camera model immediately.
The technicalities of the coding and whether Lightroom "uses" the ACR plug in or not is not quite so much the issue, and I don't find the statement that "Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in" helpful. I don't think it's really right either. Lightroom - one way or the other - DOES "USE" ACR as the ability of Lightroom to recognise files is very much dependent on the version of ACR that you have. LRoom may not use the ACR plug in as PShop/Bridge in the exact same way (eg for the actual editing of files such as exposure, white balance etc.), but Lightroom DOES USE the ACR PLUG IN.... in regard to the file recognition issue.
And Yes.... I made a mistake. Somehow, despite what I thought were good efforts to research the Lumix's support in PShop CS6, Bridge, ACR and Lroom 4, I got it wrong. I will accept that it was my mistake and I'll accept my part in this, but I won't be made to feel that that it's been "totally" my fault, stupidity, whatever.
Thanks to all the people who have provided useful comment and input to my original question and subsequent responses throughout this discussion. I will indeed now consider options like the DNG converter. I was aware of the whole cloud thing, and had been thinking I would upgrade in perhaps a couple of years time (for both Pshop and LRoom) - I'll have to consider upgrading sooner rather than later.

Is the Sony ARW raw files supported in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

I downloaded and installed CameraRaw_8_8 and installed it, restarted my Adobe Elements 10, but nothing seemed to change. My Adobe Elements 10 still does not allow me to select a ARW raw file photo. Am I missing something?

Why are my raw files being changed?

If I make changes in the Camera Raw window (i.e. change the exposure) and then "Open" it in Elements from the window, it applys those changes to the raw file, but the manual says "To open a copy of the camera raw image file (with the camera raw settings applied) in Photoshop Elements, click Open. You can edit the image and save it in a Photoshop Elements-supported format. The original camera raw file remains unaltered" - so why is it altering my original raw file?
Thankss

It isn't altering your file. Elements can't write to your raw file; it stores your changes in an xmp sidecar file, not in the original file. But if makes the reasonable assumption that the reason you made changes to your conversion settings is that you want to apply them. If you don't want to keep the changes when you open the file, then undo the ones you don't want to keep before opening the file into the editor. You are never opening your original raw file in PSE, just the converted copy.
To return to the basic elements conversion settings for the file, in the raw converter click the little lines to the right of where it says Basic in the converter window and choose Image Settings.

That's the mac version, but the location is the same in windows.

Is Fuji RAW files supported in iphoto ?

I have been trying to down load my RAW files from my fuji 9000. I have all the lates updates 10.4.9 and iphoto 6. I read in another post that fuji raw files should be supported, but i still get unknown files downloaded. Am I doing something wrong ? should i be turning some feature on in iPhoto or in the system ? At the last MacWorld I was encouraged and inspired to shoot more and to shoot more in RAW by all of the speakers. any help would be appreciated.
aloha

Joe:
According to iPhoto 6: Supported RAW format cameras if it's a FinePix S2 Pro** or FinePix S3 Pro** camera then it's supported.
Do you Twango?

Mystery: How can RAW file spontaneously change to jpg file?

Although I have been using iPhoto 6 for some time I just noticed for the first time something strange when I dragged a NEF file (RAW Nikon file) from iPhoto and dropped it onto my desktop. What happened was that the NEF file suddenly transformed itself into a jpg file when I dropped it onto the desktop. Weird! I could hardly believe my eyes.
Later I noticed that the same thing happened when I dragged a NEF file from iPhoto and dropped it onto a Dock icon for Photomatix, a program for generating HDR images. The file opened up in Photomatix but it opened as a jpg file rather than as a NEF file. Holy Toledo!
What in the world is going on here? I hope that one of you iPhoto experts can tell me how NEF files can magically morph themselves into jpg files. I also need some expert advice on how to deal with this phenomenon.
By the way, I have converted many NEF files in the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in of Photoshop Elements, but to the best of my knowledge they have never changed identity from NEF files to jpg files when I handed them off from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements. In fact, in iPhoto Preferences/Advanced I have checked the "Use RAW files with external editor" box.

No mystery whatever,
When you import a RAW file into iPhoto it automatically creates a JPEG preview of the file. That’s what you happen to be looking at in the iPhoto Window. Drag it out and you always get the current version of the file. Want to get the Original - select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and select the Original in the dialogue and you’ll get your NEF.
This is all covered in the Help. Now what help do you need to “deal with this phenomenon.“?

How did you save them to iPhoto? Because you change the format from NEF to JPG then you must save them to the desktop and then import the JPEG to iPhoto.

Panasonic Gh4 Raw file support

Any idea as to when the Panasonic Gh4 Raw Files will be supported in Aperture.

No, Apple does not release this kind of information in advance.
There are three to four raw support releases per year, so it may take a few month, until you will be seeing support for that camera. The 4K video may be an added complication.
G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
You'll have to upgrade to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1, to be able to profit from new raw support.

Fuji raw files support

I've got a macbook air Processore 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5, Grafica Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB, Software OS X 10.9 (13A603), Aperture version 3.5.1, raw 5.01 build 718.1, digital camera raw support 5010, build 91.8.
When browsing thumbnails of the raw files from Fujifilm X100s or Fujifilm xpro-1, the image disappears and a meesage comes out saying that file type is not supported. Sometimes they work for a while than suddenly get into the error and don't work any longer.
Is there a solution or shall I throw away Aperture and move to Adobe?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Gianluigi

Raw support is camera specific - it needs to take into account the sensor characteristic, and if possible, the lens.
The Fujifilm X-E1: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x-e1
Fujifilm X-E1 key features
16MP X-Trans CMOS sensor

16MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor
EXR Processor II
ISO 200-6400, plus 100 - 25600 expanded (JPEG only)
7 fps continuous shooting; 3 fps with continuous AF
Lens Modulation Optimizer (for sharper JPEGs when shooting at large or small apertures)

The sensors do differ, the lenses are treated differently, the X-E2 can record 14bit raw. It definitely needs a different raw support.

5D Mark III Raw file support

I just got the Canon 5d Mark III and the raw files do not seem to be supported by Aperture. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

Thomas Emmerich wrote:
Some options in no particular order:
1. Use the Canon SW until Aperture gets an update.
2. Convert RAW files to DNG using Adobe's converter before importing into Aperture.
3. Shoot RAW+JPEG pairs and set the JPEG as the master in your projects until the RAW is supported, then switch the RAW to master.
I used option 3 last time I had a new Canon that wasn't yet supported.
#4. Use Bridge & ACR until Apple updates its Raw 3.xx. This will allow you to shoot raw and will give you more finesse than processing raw files in DPP.
Adobe has a beta of ACR that supports the 5D Mark III.
I still like Aperture better, much better, but it is a viable work around until Apple supports the 5D Mark III.

Canon s95 and g12 RAW file support???

Adobe has now updated Lightroom to include support for cr2 RAW files for the Canon S95 and G12.
An guesses how much longer for Apple to get its act together?

It's only a "release candidate" not a proper final release. Consider it an advanced beta. Adobe explain "release candidate" here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-3/
An guesses how much longer for Apple to get its act together?
Aye - no doubt the entire Aperture team is sitting back, playing games on their iPads, drinking coffee and generally skiving...
I know this is not the answer you want, but the simple answer is - patience. It will be here when it's here - that's the way it is.

Lion OS X 10.7.3 RAW FILE Support using preview

Is Lion supporting the new RAW file platform or not?
I've upgrade to Lion and also upgraded Adobe, Canon 5D Mark III, All my software too. My frustration lies within the RAW being previewed in cover flow before actually loading them to my MAC.
It looks like Adobe has been trying with a conversion to PNG, wha't Apple Support's Progress if any?
I need an update! Please!

Raw file support in Aperture 3.2.2

Have recently purchased a Fujifilm EXR 600 compact camera. It can capture jpeg and RAW, but Aperture does not seem to recognise the RAW format - "Unsupported Image format"; neither does iPhoto recognise RAW. Is there any way to access and process these files?

Apple have historically been rather unresponsive with regard to supporting new camera RAW formats. Until they support your camera (if they ever do) probably you have to use the software that came with the camera (or some other 3rd party software) to convert the RAW file to a TIF and import that into Aperture.
Good luck.
