Leica M9 Raw import resets picture style from camera

Hi Folks,
Strange behavior in Aperture. Latest updates installed including raw update for M9. I have the camera set for B&W. When I'm in the import window the pictures are B&W. After Aperture installs them it sets them back to color.
Is there a way to get Aperture to respect the settings from the camera and use them as the default for the image? Working with Canon cameras my recollection is that it worked.
TIA
Sam

Aperture is working correctly. Raw files are (mostly) limited to the light data recorded by the camera's sensor. Take a look at a couple quick explanations here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11252817#11252817
If you want to use the camera's raw converter and image-editing presets, you will have to save and import a standard image file format, such as JPG or TIFF. Raw is used in order to give the option of converting the sensor data using a raw developer of your choice.
The simple answer to your question is don't shoot raw. (You may be able to import your files as, for example, JPEG as Master.)

  • Importing Canon Picture Styles into Aperture (how to keep the metadata) RAW

    I have a Canon 30D. Often I use the picture styles settings to shoot Monochromes. When I bring them up in Aperture to import they read as Monochromes (they are RAW) and as soon as I import them....Aperture strips it. This is pretty frustrating when I have a shoot of 300 images and 85 of them are black and whites. Canon software keeps the settings if I use their software, but i'm building an Aperture Library.
    Does anyone have a fix around this?

    Although I don't know for sure, it is possible that Canon Picture Styles are not in industry standard EXIF, and so they might be a Canon private format only readable by Canon software. If that is the case, there isn't much Apple can do but reach some kind of deal with Canon. Apple may or may not want to go to the trouble, because they might not want to also support the private data in other manufacturers' private raw data, like Nikon's encrypted white balance.
    It's worth noting that Adobe's software doesn't read Canon Picture Styles either; I've read posts asking about it on their forums too.
    Possibly worth noting most of all: The only advantage to shooting in monochrome is to be able to use the camera to visualize it. You can often get a better black-and-white by customizing the conversion from the original raw color data.

  • Importing SECTIONS (not Styles) from ePub Best Practices Sample Doc

    I have successfully imported STYLES from the ePub Best Practices Sample Document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168) into an existing Pages document. However, the Best Practices doc also has defined SECTIONS which you can see by clicking on the sections button in the toolbar.
    How can I get those defined Section types (i.e. Table of Contents, Index, etc.) into my other document which does not included those?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    With the sample document and your new Pages document, View > Page Thumnails. Click on a thumbnail in the sample doc, Edit > Copy. Click in the thumbnail pane in the new doc and Edit > Paste. I guess this does the same as selecting and copying the text in the doc window.

    Ian.

  • Transferring pictures over from camera

    How would I transfer my pictures over from my Canon 30D w/out using iPhoto? I connected my camera to my macbook w. the USB cable, but I'm at a lost on what to do after that.

    Well if you want you can still use iPhoto to organize your photos. Then at anytime you want to edit a photo, just drag it from iPhoto to your Photoshop icon in the dock. (if its there.) That will cause PS to open with your photo and you can edit from there. iPhoto can be a very useful image organizer.
    iPhoto will first create a file for the imported image. Then once you have made a change to that image, it will make a back up of that file. So at any time from today or 10 years from now, you can revert back to the original file in iPhoto.
    Maybe another thing to look at is the camera itself. See if there is a mass storage mode or something. Maybe that can get the computer to see it. Also launch Disk Utility with the camera connected. See if the computer can see it in there.
    Remember if you have trouble finding stuff on your computer. Just look in the upper right hand corner and use the blue search button. As you type it will find anything on your computer.

  • Import of avi files from camera is SLOOOOW

    My Fuji FinePix Z10fd shoots video in avi format. Importing these into iPhoto 6 is so slow that the process is almost worthless. It literally takes up to 15 minutes to import a 4 minute avi file. Once the files are in, I can view them, move them into iMovie HD, etc. No problem there.
    The import of photos is fine. Its just the avi files causing me grief.
    Any ideas?

    How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Ipad2: pictures transfered from camera, not displayed on my mac (iphoto, itune , phototransfert.....)

    Hello communities,
    I have a simple issue, I have bought an ipad 2 this summer and transfered the picture from my camera in my device. all was perfect to see each evening the piture daily pictures  by using a Diaporama.
    Now, I would like  transfer the picture to my Mac. But I can't see images when I connect my Ipad elseif  I Use Itune ,Iphoto, Image transfert or another applications....
    What can I do? All is correct on my ipad , it's like the files are invisible...
    Advance thank for your answers.
    Regards

    Have you tried a reset of the iPad : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Have you also tried rebooting your Mac ?
    Do the photos still show in the Photos app on the iPad ?

  • Is there a way to import only starred images from camera?

    Now that the Canon 7d can be starred in camera, sometimes for the sake of speed, I would only like to import those.  Any way to do this without manually looking through them and individually selecting them?
    Or is there another program where it is available?  I read up on Lightroom, but it seems it is not possible there.
    Thank you.

    Or is there another program where it is available?
    Bridge PhotoDownloader does not recognize the stars, nor can you filter them. I tried for experiment to rate a file on my 1Dx but to be honest it was quite an effort in finding the right menu and much action needed.
    Also tried (again experimental) to use Canon Image browser and Canon Digital Photo Professional using a card reader.
    Let's put it mildly, Canon is very good in manufacturing camera's but I really believe they should outsource the software department. It is again clear to me why I don't use their software, its just very unproductive and dead slow
    A workaround could be that you forget about rating in camera, load the files in Photodownloader and use the advance option to provide thumbnails. Wait a little for them to build, use the button uncheck all and the browse through the thumbs and select the ones you think you need fast, then hit 'Get Media' (but don't forget to import the rest of the files when you have a bit more time left)

  • Importing only some photos from camera to computor

    My Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT contains 550 photos, according to my iPhoto window. My PowerBook G4 hard drive does not have enough space on it to accommodate my importing all those photos. There is nothing in the iPhoto window or menus that offers a way to import fewer than all those photos, much less send them to my external hard drive.
    I downloaded the appropriate versions of Image Browser and Camera Window, but neither of these acknowledge the existence of my camera. Advice?

    Hi Charles,
    You can use Image Capture to import your photos. You can choose where to download them to and create a new folder to download them into.
    First you need to open Image Capture and in the Preferences have it open when a camera is connected. When you next connect your camera, under the options have it download the photos to a connected external drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

  • Only my pictures transferred from camera not the videos why

    I finally set up my camera to transfer with wifi and it only transferred the pictures not the videos....why? (Model: powershot sx510 hs wi-fi)

    Is your transfer software set up to look for video as well as photos? Usually video and photos are in two separate folders on the memory card, so you'll need to make sure the software knows where to look for the videos.
    What software are you using for the transfer? What operating system is the computer?

  • Lightroom 4 will not import any new photos from Camera or a folder, "could not be read message" or "could not copy to requested location message"

    One day everything worked and the next everything except importing new photos worked. What could be the problem? Did a recient Adobe update do this?

    These messages usually mean the destination folder does not have WRITE permission. Change your permissions. (It's possible that it stopped working because the destination folder was accidentally changed, in which case you may only need to change the destination folder back to what it was previously)

  • After importing of color photos from cam some photos appear like BLACK RECTANGLE - WHY?

    This happens sometimes and with several photos only

    Some obscure bug in iPhoto. A bunch of reports over the last month or so. Best guess is something regarding the EXIF data. For most people doing any edit and reverting to the original is a work around. Hopefully the "bug" will be resolved in an update. While the work around is simple it is a pain if you have a lot of photos
