KonicaMinolta D7 - no support for ".MRW" raw

There does not appear to be any support for the KonicaMinolta D7 ".MRW" raw format. Support is available in iPhoto.
Does Apple intend to provide support for this product in Aperture?
PM

This is more of a reply to the thread then just the first poster.
First, the D7 is a different camera then the 7D, confusing isn't it.
Further more their is also the newer 5D.
All have the .MRW format.
Pre 10.4.3 OSX supported .MRW files from on of minoltas non-SLR cameras. 10.4.3 added the 7D support.
The problem with OSX is it doesn't support formats in a logical way. The problem here is the same as the problem with the Canon Rebel XT/350D . Basically instead of seeing it as a .MRW and giving it a go. It looks to see what camera it came from in the meta data, if not on it's pre-selected list, OSX rejects the file, even if in reality if it tried, it would open it right up. Also not unlike how Aperture won't run on lots of hardware, but it's just because the app has a list saying what it will and won't run on, not anything based on actually trying to run. Thus why aperture is locked out of FX5200 video cards and power mac G4s for no real reason.
Anyways, you can go in and find the Raw.plst and add a entry for some cameras not supported and poof, they work.
If you own a KM 5D, which is just a smaller cheaper re-package of the 7D, by default OSX won't work with it, or DNG files made from it. But if you go in and add a entry for a 5D, (just copy the 7D entry and change the name) poof, things start working. I was able to get it to at least open DNG files made from 5D files by doing this. No luck with the MRW files yet. I don't have aperture to see if for some reason they will work there. Aperture uses the same foundation as the rest of the OS for open raw and dng files.
With some luck in the future apple will change this practice and just have OSX see a file as its raw format, not as what device if came from, and give it a honest effort to try and open it, not just ignore it because it's not on the magical list.

    Please add support for Camera RAW Canon PowerShot G2,
    it may be ancient, but there are still a lot of G2s out there, and it's annoying to have a different workflow for pictures from them...

  • Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
    Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
    You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
    You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

  • Aperture support for unsupported raw formats

    I was doing some tests with Aperture to see if it could fit my workflow. My concern was support of old files from a Nikon Coolpix 5400, raw (thanks to firmware update at the time) as well as a recent Nikon DSLR. No problem with the DSLR. 5400 was not supported. After some internet research I found out there is a pref file (Raw.plist in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources) that has info about all supported cameras. This add raw support for the cameras listed in the file for Preview, iPhoto, Aperture (system-wide). Same list that Apple provides as camera compatibility list.
    In that list I chose to duplicate the NIKON-E8400 array and renamed it NIKON-E5400. Didn't change any value in the array. To my surprise, even without rebooting, this added support for the Nikon Coolpix 5400 images. The image looks pretty much the same with these default settings (when opened in Preview for example) than it does in ACR in CS2. The only odd difference is the image size loosing 10 vertical pixels (from 2592x1944 opened in ACR CS2 to 2592x1934). I have no idea why it does this but it is no big deal really as it is no scaling, just loss of pixels.
    I am a bit concerned of course about the possibility to carry on this tweak in the next OS updates.
    I guess any raw from any camera could have support this way.
    Just need to name the array in Raw.plist properly. For mine I just opened a raw in text edit and saw first line the name of camera, was "NIKONE5400". I compared the format of this name to other names in the array and decided to add the "-" to look like others so "NIKON-E5400", and that was it. Now I was lucky the default setting for the 8400 I used as a base worked for the 5400, apparently. It could have not been the case and then I would have had to play with the values in the array. Quite a few so a long process I am afraid, but possible.
    The deal would be to release a little utility software that would let us play with these values easily and see a result live on a sample image, and once satisfied it would modify this Raw.plist file. This way people could add support to their own raws.
    If anyone in the know sees a big issue in doing what I did please tell.
    Of course playing with this Raw.plist file is at your own risks so keep backup and bee careful.
    The tweaking of this raw.plist file had been talked about in different forum in the past concerning the support of Canon 3xxD that had a different US name Rebel something. The change of name of the corresponding array added support before an OS update did it for everyone.

    I also modified my Raw.plist file to import RAW files from my Olympus C-5050Z. But that doesn't make Aperture import a type of RAW file it didn't support before. It just turns out that your Nikon 5400 RAW files are the same format as the Nikon 8400 files except for size, just as my Olympus C-5050 files are substantially similar to the Olympus C-7070 files. I think the Raw.plist file used by ImageIO contains hints on how to treat the data and color in the images and as long as the cameras don't behave too differently, substituting one model with another will work.
    The RAW.plist file is a standard plist file that can be examined and modified with the Property List Editor. What I would like to see is documentation of the parameters so that we can more easily add support for cameras that aren't supported out of the box.

  • Lack of support for Camera Raw plugin for Mac 10.6.8

    I'm hoping to find some solutions to the road block I've run into.    I'd been using Photoshop CS6 with Mac OS 10.6.8 without any problems.
    Then I got a new camera this week, and that's when the problems began.....
    I wanted to edit the raw files (R2W format) from the Panasonic GH4, and needed to install the proper Camera Raw plugin.   I installed version 8.6, and not only did Photoshop refuse to acknowledge the installed plugin, but it was no long able to open ANY digital photograph.
    I tried installing version 8.5, as well as removing various preference files, repairing permissions, rebuilding volumes (via DIsc Warrior + Drive Geinus) and all sorts of other suggestions I found online.   I was really hoping that a manual drag + drop of the plugin to the  Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC/File Formats folder would do the trick, but NOTHING seemed to work for me.  I spent most of the day on Thursday trying to figure a solution, and wound up going back to my original Camera Raw plugin (version 8.3) just to be able to use Photoshop again.
    I would have liked to have used the DNG Converter, but it doesn't work with Mac OS 10.6.8 either.
    There's various reasons why I continue to use 10.6.8 as my primary OS - so many of my OTHER favorite softwares were radically changed or eliminated with the so-called "upgrades" and I really hate the way so many things were altered in what should be simple navigation in the Finder.  I do have OS 10.8 installed on a backup hard drive, but I really don't want to use this as my primary OS....  at least not at this point in time.
    So here's my plea ...
    Adobe -
    PLEASE give me an updated version of the Camera Raw plugin that I can use with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS 10.6.8.  
    PLEASE provide a version of DNG Converter that will also work with that particular set-up.
    .... or help me find a solution so I can install these plugins without the massive headaches.

    You can hook up the external 10.8 drive, boot into it, run the DNG 8.5 converter there pointing it to your raw files folder, boot back to the 10.6.8 system and you should have DNGs that will open in ACR 8.3

  • Support for Canon raw files in panther and iPhoto

    I can't get iPhoto 6 to import the raw files (.cr2) from my Canon 400D.
    I can use image capture and also Elements 4 with Raw support, so I am not sure if its the operating system level (panther) or something else.
    I did use iPhoto with my previous Canon with .CRW files and that worked fine to import them, organise them and then edit etc externally in Photoshop.
    Is there any way out there to do this without upgrading the OS or iPhoto, I appreciate I have a way to continue working but miss the convenience of the easy import.

    Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Support for CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS

    Newby here!
    I've used Photoshop CS (the original CS version) for some years processing CRW canon 10D raw files. Now I've upgraded to a later Canon 40D, which produces CR2 files which CS can't read. 
    Is it possible for me to download an update / plugin?    Or do I need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop?
    At present, I'm opening the CR2 file using Canon's ZoomBrowser software, then I'm able to edit it with Photoshop CS.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Roger

    Hi and thanks very much for your responses.
    I've tried the DNG route, firstly the most recent version which, although it converted my .CR2 files, could not be read by Photoshop CS.
    Realising my mistake, I removed this DNG converter and installed the older version 2.4 designed to work with CS.
    But still no joy. The .PNG files created still can't be read by photoshop CS and, although I was careful to update the Camera Raw .8bi file in the Plug-ins folder, CS still won't open a .cr2 file OR .dng file.  Despite the fact that both file types are apparently 'available' in the File/Open dialog box!
    So it looks like it's back to using Canon Zoombrowser to open each file before editing in Photoshop...or buy a new version.
    Anyway, thanks for your responses. Much appreciated.  Roger

  • Support for Sony RAW (.SR2) images?

    Does anyone have any information about whether iPhoto is likely to support RAW files from Sony's recent cameras? I have a DSCR1 which saves RAW files in .SR2 format.
    I understand it's possible to convert these to more common RAW formats, but proper iPhoto support would always be best.

    Thanks.  It worked perfectly.  Just don't understand how I digressed from being able to read raw to not being able to read.  I really appreciate your help.

  • Lost camera raw support for canon 1ds markI in mountain lion

    I seem to have lost system support for camera raw files for the original Canon 1ds (what you might call the markI). There's been two recent raw support updates, and I'm not sure if it occured with the first for those two updates or with update to Mountain Lion itself (which I recently clean-installed). I noticed it after the first raw support update (Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01) but it could have happend with Mountain Lion install and I just didn't notice. In any case, I definitely don't have support for the camera raw files, finder shows only the generic TIFF icon thumnail (the raw files from the markI 1ds were of the extension .TIF, before canon moved on to .cr2 format..). Preview and Aperture can preview the file but without any custom white balance or other info stored with the raw file from camera.
    Anybody else experience this or know fix?
    Thanks!
    For anyone wanting and willing to test on their machine, I'll post a link to a test raw file.... hmm, apparently this support forum does not allow for the linclusion of a link to an image file, but I'll see if it allows for a link to a zipped folder with image inside... I suppose I wouldn't download a .zip file myself but for anyone braver than I:

    Lane,
    That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
    I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
    Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
    I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
    Not much help, I know.

  • Why no RAW support for the Fuji FinePix HS10?

    This camera is well over a year old.  Why is there no support for the RAW file?

    It is definitely not only Fuji. I used a Panasonic Lumix FX-150 before that has been supported by Adobe Camera Raw for quite some time now. I replaced that camera by a Lumix LX5, but I see that the FX-150 is still not supported by Apple Camera Raw and probably never will.
    If you want wide range RAW support, use Lightroom. (Not to say that Aperture doesn't have its strengths, e.g. support for geocoding.)

  • Proper support for Fuji EXR Raw Files

    There is still no proper support for Fuji  EXR Raw files.  On any Fuji X-series camera, the in-camera raw processing, including specifying options always outputs a far superior image that Adobe Camera Raw 6.  I've been using an X100 for some time now, and have really gathered some great images with it. But Adobe Camera Raw fails miserably to understand how to process these files.
    This is more of a complaint and feature request than a question, because I already know the answer. Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
    The EXR pixel arrangement offers new possibilities, especially the ability to take an HDR image of a moving subject, and without a tripod. The elimination of the low-pass filter allows for more sharpness, and finally the noise pattern is much more "film-like".
    I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
    Adobe: Please work with Fuji to bring world-class support for EXR Raw images.
    Thank you,
    William

    Good day!
    Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
    There seems to be a reason why Adobe has to reverse engineer RAW formats – the camera manufacturers don’t want their customers to use Adobe (and other) software to process their RAW files. (If their proprietary software gets better results then that’s understandable, but for how long are they going to support their own software?)
    Now maybe Fuji is more cooperative than others, but do you know that for certain?
    I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
    If the new/improved features of Photoshop CS6 have no significance for the way you process, manage, edit and touch-up photographs feel free to stick with whatever version of Photoshop you use currently, but be aware that hardware/OS changes on your side may some day make that version inoperable on your set-up.
    Also the upgrade path has been cut down to one version, if I understand correctly.
    Anyway, this is a beginners Forum, feature requests might be better posted over at

  • HT203088 Any ideas when RAW support for the Nikon D7200 will be available?

    Hi
    I have recently bought the Nikon D7200. However Apple have not released their support for the RAW files. I am wondering what the likely timeframe is for support to be released? I do not want to make the switch to Adobe to get support and Nikons software isn't much fun at all so want to avoid that.
    In the meantime I am stuck using jpg...
    Any realistic timeframe estimates appreciated...
    James

    It used to be pretty quick with Nikons and Canons - some even before the camera was released! But now in the new Photos regime, we can't really say.

  • Will ACR support the different RAW formats of digital cinema cameras like REDCODE or ARRIRAW?

    Will ACR support the various formats produced by digital cinema cameras like REDCODE, ARRIRAW and the other ones?
    Support for Cineform RAW would be also welcome of course.
    The RAW converters supplied by the manufacturers are no comparison IMHO to what ACR offers in terms of sheer image quality, tonal control (especially highlight recovery and rolloff) simple usability and lack of stuff like lens correction just to mention the most important things.
    Coming from a photo background I would love to be able to process everything in ACR as a first light correction. :-)
    I don't know if this is just a question of implementing it, maybe there are legal reasons aswell why REDCODE for example isn't supported?

    Jim, I know ACR was designed to be a still image RAW developer, but it would be a waste not to use it for many still images (a video is not more than that).
    But since more and more video cameras are capturing RAW data a debayering suite like ACR will be necessary for video too. Instead of having an importer for every file format, ACR could substitute them with its superior quality and controls, since it already has almost everything that is needed for processing RAW video it would be unwise not to use it (I see use for compressed video from DSLRs for example too).
    The only things that I can see that need to be changed are the denoising (needs a good temporal option aswell) and the ability to scrub through a clip and the possibility to create keyframe for the development settings.
    I use ACR for timelapse (video) all the time, apart from the slow processing speed (which won't be a problem with future computers) basically everything is already there.
    The next step would be directly apply rotobrushes to the RAW data, but even with a computer with the speed you would expect in a couple of years that is probably a bit farfetched (taking into account, that resolution will also at least slightly increase for video).
    Premiere should have gotten still frame ACR support with CS6, some might even argue that it should have been in PP since CS5.5.

Maybe you are looking for
