*Need Immediate Help*: Aperture Olympus Raw Files

I need help, is there a way to open Olympus Raw Files (.orf) in Aperture? I really need to get my camera's raw photos working!
-Thanks

There are a number of cameras that either were once supported by iPhoto or Aperture and now are not, or that are not supported yet. Apple support declined to provide a list of cameras iPhoto and Aperture were compatible with.
If you use a Canon Digital Rebel, you'll be okay. Otherwise test the software with your camera before buying one or the other.
If all else fails, Adobe Lightroom will, as far as I know, open any RAW image from any camera once it's converted to DNG-RAW with the free DNG converter. So, if you can't get RAW to work with Aperture or iPhoto, there is an alternative.
iPhoto and Aperture are the only photo apps I've tried that will not import RAW of any kind from my Nikon 5700. Apple support had no fix.
If anyone has one, I'd love to hear it.

  • Olympus RAW Files Preview Problems

    Hi,
    I have started using Lightroom as my photo editor and organiser and have taken on board the advice to convert RAW files to DNG. Unfortunately I have discovered that Finder (I operate an IMac, Mavericks 10.9.2) will not preview these DNG files. I use an Olympus EM1 and have been reliably informed that Apple does not support Olympus RAW files converted to DNG, but they do support Canon and Nikon. I would appreciate everyone's support in trying to get Apple to recognise Olympus and I would be grateful if you would take a few minutes of your time to copy the following few sentences and post them onto the Apple Feedback web page, which I have also provided. Thanks in anticipation.....
    "Hello,
    I use an Olympus camera and convert the RAW (ORF) files to DNG in Lightroom. Unfortunately Finder preview does not preview these files, although I believe that Canon and Nikon camera files are previewed. Would it possible for Apple to enable previews in Finder of Olympus RAW files converted to DNG?
    Thanks."

    In PSE 11, have you checked whether you have the latest plugin for your camera?  If not then it is not a bad idea to do it now by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    You may also want to check if the files are saved in your default location normally "MyPictures" in XP or in Libraries >> Pictures in Windows 7 machine.  See this picture:
    Hope this helps if not please post back explaining clearly what do you see on the screen.
    Good luck.

  • Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

    Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

    As I understand it, but I have not tried LR Mobile, you have to have the raw files on a real computer and then sync the smart previews from LR desktop to the iPad.  I am still trying to get my head around a real use case for a non professional enthuasist photographer.

  • I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6.

    I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into ...

    Hello,
    I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into a vector storing ByteArrays in it.Please help me soon.
    Thank You

    Hello,
    I was able to solve my problem by thinking & my code goes as follows.I am trying to read a video file in my program.
    public Vector getFileMediaContent(RandomAccessFile fileObj){
         Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
    dataContent.removeAllElements();
    System.out.println("dataContent :"+dataContent.size());
    try{
    int size=(int)fileObj.length();
    if(size<2000000){
    byte[] data = new byte[size];
    fileObj.read(data);
    dataContent.addElement(data);
    data=null;
    System.gc();
    else{
    int fixedsize=2000000;
    int startindex=0;
    int read=0;
    int remaining=0;
    while(read!=-1){
    byte[] data=new byte[fixedsize];
    read=fileObj.read(data,0,data.length);
    dataContent.addElement(data);
    startindex=startindex+data.length;
    remaining=size-startindex;
    fileObj.seek(startindex);
    data=null;
    System.gc();
    if(remaining>0 && remaining<2000000){
    byte[] data1=new byte[remaining];
    read=fileObj.read(data1,0,data1.length);
    dataContent.addElement(data1);
    data1=null;
    System.gc();
    System.out.println("outside while");
    System.out.println("dataContent 1 :"+dataContent.size());
    System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
    fileObj = null;
    System.gc();
    }catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    return dataContent;
    Now I am not facing the problem of IndexOut of Bounds Exception But I am getting Out of Memory Error.
    Can You suggest me to come out of this,.
    As I know I have two solutions.
    1.Make the objects Null which is using more space & call System.gc();
    2.Increase the Virtual Memory of my System.
    Any solutions other than this?
    And How to Increase the Virtual Memory?Please do reply.
    ThankYou

  • Need help with .cr2 RAW-files

    Hi,
    I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
    However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
    I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.

    as a last resort ...
    this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
    but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
    you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_RAW_Compatibility_Update_25
    info on rolling back the update is in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9097867

  • When will Aperture have raw files support for Olympus OM-D E-M1?

  • Compatibility issue with Nikon's D700 and Aperture downloading RAW files.

    Need a little help with this one - purchased a NIKON D700 (today) and tried to download RAW files into Aperture - got a bad message - unsupported image format - (shows on a reddish background)
    I worked on the problem for about 4 hours, both with the software and the camera, but to no avail... upon inital download you see a small image but the message occurs when the image is clicked on.
    Thank you in advance for any comment or idea you might have.... occurring

    You will have to wait until Apple updates the MacOS to recognize the D700 in its RAW profile. It's not listed yet:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475
    You'll have to shoot JPEG or use Nikon's software until Apple gets around to it. Maybe try Lightroom.

  • Aperture D600 Raw Files too dark?

    Is anyone else seeing that their Nikon D600 raw files stink in Aperture? I realize that Apple backwards engineers Raw support but if I look at a file from my D600 on Aperture and Capture NX2, the difference is 10-fold. I can see detail in the shadows in the NX2 conversion and nothing but black in the Aperture conversion. I have never seen this much of a disparity and I have used well over a dozen different DSLR's. I am curious if anyone else is seeing this? I mean in one image I can see a staircase in the NX2 conversion and nothing but black in Aperture?

    "Neutral" on the camera means nothing.  Those control the JPEG previews only and do not affect RAW files.
    Yes I know. However, that JPEG preview is what you see on the back of the camera so having all parameters set to as little post-processing as possible will help give you a more accurate preview of the Raw file. I will give you some more background... Our first DSLR was a Canon 10D. This was before Aperture v1.0. We moved to a 20D, a 30D, a 40D, switched to Nikon and used a D80, 90, 300, 300s, 7000, and 600. I have photographers whose files I process that included Fuji (yikes!), Canon 7D, 5D, & 5DMII. Haven't had a Sony camera yet. I started with Aperture v1 and am now using the latest Aperture release. I have a very good understanding of the process.
    @ funkcanna, thanks. I haven't used a D4 but it is good to hear I am not going crazy! Yes, the files just go to crap when you click on one. I too hope this is not a sign of things to come... I really don't like Lightroom but for now, I have no choice.

  • Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

    I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
    Thanks

    No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Using Olympus Raw files on CS2

    I have Photoshop CS2 and a brand new Olympus E-PL5.  How do I view the RAW files in CS2?  I've tried using DNG converter 7.3, but it still gives me an error when I try to open either the ORF or DNG filetype.  Also, the Camera Raw plugin says 3.7 currently in the Help menu... is this what is screwing me up?  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Were you able to convert the olympus E-PL5 files to dng with the 7.3 dng converter?
    Did you try placing a shortcut to the 7.3 dng converter on your desktop and just dragging one of your E-PL5 files onto the shortcut
    to see if it works?
    Photoshop cs2 only goes to camera raw 3.7, but should open converted dng files.
    Although sometimes one has to use the compatibilty settings in the dng converter for the particular camera raw plugin one has.

  • Importing ORF (Olympus Raw Files)

    I've just purchased an Olympus SP-550UZ and although the ORF show in preview they grey out and dont import when import is hit. JPG are fine any ideas?

    On a separate question in a 4/3 digital camera forum I was directed to this link regarding importing files into Aperture if you're shooting 'raw + jpeg'. If this is your case apparently Aperture will only load the jpegs and ignores the raw files. There is a fix however and it is explained on this link. I have found that support regarding Aperture is better on the digital camera forums rather than here. I have posted several queries here with no replies so good luck.
    http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/?p=408
    You may have to try the link several times and when you get there I believe this link is out of a page of the complete digital photography book the website owner has so you get some 'link crossover garbage' at the top of the screen but you'll be able to see the fix for this problem. If in fact you're not shooting raw+jpeg then I'm not sure what the fix would be. Good luck though!
    My issue resides in the fact that Aperture doesn't support the E510 for raw files yet and it's very frustrating since I just ordered my iMac 2.4 also. The cutting edge manufacturer of hardware for photo and video editing, two of their specialty fields, apparently is very slow on the upkeep of their software to support the cutting edge hardware that interfaces. Go figure. Still I think over the long haul it's the right platform.
