Minilab won't read .tiff file from Aperture

When Aperture exports a TIFF file it gives it the .tiff (rather than .tif) extension. Our local professional minilab uses an Agfa D-Lab 2 machine, and apparently this will not read files with a .tiff extension. The lab had to rename all the files on their PC first to give them a .tif extension.
Is there a way of getting Aperture to export files with .tif extension? Or do we have to rename all the files after export before submitting to the minilab? Thanks for any advice!

The .tiff extension is something Apple has needed to fix ASAP for a long time. It gets in the way of a proper workflow. When clients receive .tiff files and they work on them in Photoshop they'll end often end up with .tiff.tif files after they are saved. Very annoying and it probably makes the photographer look sloppy in the clients' eyes.
I've tried the automator route and it doesn't work because it will not rename the extension. You can batch the files in Photoshop, save them as tif's, they'll then be ".tiff.tif" and then use a program like iView to extract the ".tiff" and replace it with nothing so that you end up with the the file_name and the .tif extension. IOW, a tiff named as it should be.
I haven't tried it yet but I may pick up this software, A Better Finder Rename. http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html It says it will rename the file extension and it will do it as a batch. Could be a lifesaver until Aperture fixes the .tiff issue.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

    Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

    The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
    Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

  • Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

    Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them.  I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files?  Thanks!

    I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions.  But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images.  Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now.  You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
    And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files.  Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

  • Lightroom not reading tiff files from photoshop

    It was working ok and then LR 3 stop bringing in the images that I sent to PS (CS5) to edit..it does not bring them into my collection..help!

    HI Marek. Yes that is exactly what is happening. I used to be able to do it and then 2 days ago stopped working. The weird thing is that I somehow see that tiff image in lightroom when I'm in library mode in a different collection but when I make sure it's rated the same as the others to make it go to the collection I'm working on it doesn't do it. I tried importing it but it won't even bring it up as an option as it's already in LR..DO you have any experience with this?
    thanks

  • Can Aperture 3 read Raw files from Canon G1X?

    Is Aperture 3 capable of reading Raw files from a Canon G1X?
    I'm currently using an elderly version of IPhoto, having resisted upgrading because of negative feedback about the latest version. My IPhoto version cannot read the Raw files from the G1X. I also tried importing one into Picassa, but the colours looked completely wierd.
    I'm now considering buying Aperture 3 but will maybe wait until:
    a. Aperture 4 is released and;
    b. I know that Aperture can indeed read the Raw files from the G1X.
    Any help/advice gratefully received.
    Frank P

    see this list:
    Aperture 3: Wide raw support for leading cameras:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Your camera is supported by Aperture 3.
    P.S. and the camera is supported by MacOS X 10.7.4.,
    see: OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    What is your MacOS version? Perhaps upgrading to 10.7.4 should make the raw support available in iPhoto too.

  • Lightroom 1.4 won't read RAW images from my camera

    I upgraded from a Canon Rebel XT to a Canon 1000D (Rebel XS), and it won't read RAW files anymore. When I try to import a RAW file, it says "file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
    I've read that I can download a plugin to solve this problem, but I'm not having much luck. I've downloaded Camera Raw 5.2, which says that it supports the Canon XS, but it's still not working. Perhaps I've installed it incorrectly? Please help. :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but another workaround for this common issue of trying to use RAW images taken with a newer camera than is supported by the version of Adobe software you have may be to use Canon software included with the Canon XS to import the Canon RAW images to your PC's hard drive, and then import them using the Adobe software. If they're still not recognized by LR, you'd have to first convert them with Canon software to another format such as TIFF or JPG, which of course, besides being a nuisance additional second step, loses the advantage of having taken the photo in RAW to begin with, though you could do basic white balance and exposure corrections with Canon software on the RAW files before converting.
    If you'll be using a lot of XS RAW photos in Lightroom, it's probably worth the hundred bucks to upgrade to LR2 which most users feel is much more powerful than LR 1.4 anyway and therefore worth the charge. The adjustment brushes, graduated filters, and improved sharpening make the upgrade worthwhile, and then LR could import your XS' RAW photos directly from the camera. However, *if* your PC is barely managing with LR 1.4, you may find LR 2.x too slow for your PC. You can try LR 2.x first for a time for free before paying for the upgrade. Check out the video tutorials on the upgrades because their use is not intuitive and you may falsely conclude they don't add much function if you don't learn how to use them.

  • Moving RAW files from Aperture to an EHD

    Whats the best way to move my RAW photo files from Aperture to an external hard drive? For safe storage and future access.
    It wants to export them as Tiff files which is fine. but l will want to delete all but the star rated ones form my macbook air to
    clear space.
    It will not be a back up it will be the only file stored so l will need to be able to re-load a file to sell it or use it in publications or as poster prints.

    In what way is an EHD safer than the current storage (presumably inside your Aperture Library package on your MBA's system drive)?
    In what way does an EHD offer better future access than the current storage?
    I suggest the answers to those questions is:  in no way is the EHD superior for the needs listed.
    There is no _security_ or _future access_ need for your RAW camera files that is better met by an EHD than by storage inside your Aperture Library package.
    The reason to relocate Originals from inside your Aperture Library package to a location outside your Aperture Library package is to make your Aperture Library package smaller.  The reason to make your Aperture Library package smaller is to be able to keep it on your system drive.  Your system drive is the best location for your Aperture Library package.
    If you want to make your Aperture Library package smaller, relocate your Images' Originals using the command Frank specifies.
    Note that none of the above is about _backing up_ your Aperture Library package or your Originals.
    You should keep two complete backups, using separate devices, of every computer file you use.
    As long as your Originals are inside your Aperture Library package, backing up your Aperture Library package backs up your Originals.
    Any Originals that are outside you Aperture Library package, must be backed up in addition to and separately from, your Aperture Library package.
    Aperture itself does not care where you store your Originals, as long as they are on a drive that is mounted to your computer.
    Originals that are inside your Aperture Library package are called "managed".  Originals that are outside your Aperture Library package are called "referenced".
    Referenced Originals can be "on-line" or "off-line".  Images whose Originals are off-line cannot be adjusted, printed, or exported.  You can edit their metadata (including moving them in and out of Albums, etc.).

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

    My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi  and XTi  without any problem.

    What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.
    What Noel said.
    FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

  • DNG Converter suddenly stopped working, won't read NEF files

    Hi all, I'm new here, but am looking for some help.
    I currently am on a mac book and run photoshop CS3. I've been shooting with a nikon d700 in raw. When I upload the photos to my computer I've previously run them through the DNG converter without a problem. Now, for the past two days it has just stopped working. When I try to convert the NEF files, they are just greyed out, I can't select anything. I tried reinstalling the DNG converter, but still no luck.
    I never had any issues with it before, and now it suddenly won't read my files. Any ideas what could be wrong?
    Thank you!

    Had you run the DNG on a Mac before?  On the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders only, not on individual files (unless you use the Finder to drop the icons of your raw files on the DNG Converter application icon).  From within the application, using File > Open, the icon and names of individual raw files will always appear grayed out.
    You need to target the folder that contains the files you want to convert.
    CAVEAT: all eligible files in the folder will be converted, including any and all DNG files that may already be contained in the folder.  So if you have any DNGs in that folder, they will also be converted again and the original DNGs may be overwritten.

  • Photoshelter and XMP file from Aperture

    Hello,
    I exported some Master RAW files from Aperture including the metadata XMP files.
    Then I upload the RAW files and the XMP files to Photoshelter.
    When I look at the IPTC info on Photoshelter all metadata is there beside the "creation date" of the photo.
    The XMP file contains the right information for the creation date as far as I can tell.
    Does anybody know, what's wrong here?
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    It's all run through the server or an external hard drive. We think we found the solution though.
    We tried to roll back out Camera Raw version to the 4.4 update since my employer uses Canon cameras and has issues with new version.
    Unfortunately we had to scrap the projects I had finished for him, but we're cutting our losses and moving ahead. Neither him or I can sacrifice more time into solving problems and getting this resolved.
    Thank you for the help.

    See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after.  As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

    Ok. That explains 8.3. I know some want to stay with 10.6 because they have software or hardware that won't work on anything later.
