When I open a RAW file from my new Sony camera, how can I get it to open in Photoshop instead of Perfect Effects 8?

When I open a RAW file from my Nikon's SD card it automatically goes to PS. I have a new Sony camera; when I open RAW photos from it, it goes to Perfect Effects 8. How can I change it so it goes to Photoshop instead of Perfect Effects 8?

When I have an NEF file on my desktop and click on OPEN WITH, it shows the programs, including Photoshop, that will open it. But, when I click on OPEN WITH for an ARW image, it doesn't show Photoshop. However, your suggestion about dragging the images from the SD card on the desktop into the Photoshop icon provides me with a solution. This is much easier and quicker than the way I was doing it. Thank you very much for your help!!!

I cannot upload my new Sony Camera software

I cannot upload my new Sony Camera Software onto my computer, help

If you want to import to iPhoto, open iPhoto Preferences and select from 'Connecting camera opens'. After that you can do what ever you like using iPhoto features. There are video tutorials available the will help you get familiar with iPhoto.
If you have specific iPhoto questions, post them in the iPhoto forum. Your chances of receiving good advice will be improved since they specialize in that application.
Ciao.

Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony camera to my iphone4?

Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony point and shoot to my iphone4? It works with photos from my old camera, just not with the new one. When I sync photos to my phone, they come out black. Help!

It's possible they aren't in the right format. See this list to verify you have the correct format. I know some Sony cameras use the ARW interface (known as RAW).
You may want to use a photo converter like photoshop, etc. to get photos into .jpeg or other file formats.

Do the new Sony Cameras work with FCE?

I have been looking at the new Sony HDR-XR500v.(120 g hard drive) I am just wondering if it is compatible with Final Cut Express for capturing?

It should work. It's an AVCHD camera that should ingest using log and transfer in 4.0.1.

So i am new to the Mac world, and just purchase a Macbook pro. I have a new Sony camera that i wanted to upload the software onto my Mac. Its a CD of the Sony editing picture program. I put the cd in the side slot, but how do i download and use it?

I need to figure out how to put this Sony cd picture program onto my Mac for my new camera. Im used to a PC, where it pops up and you download and can just click the icon and open the program. I have no idea where to find it or how to download it to my mac! help!

First, find out if the disc contains software for Mac OS X also, or only for Windows. This should be indicated in the camera user guide, or on the disc label. If it doesn't explicitly say it's for Mac OS X, then you have nothing to install (except possibly the camera's user guide in PDF format). You may try Sony's tech support site to find out if there is any Mac OS X software you can download. The camera's user guide or 'Get Started' doc should have this info also.

Sony's New HDD Cameras and FCE (or iMovie)

Help! I just bought a new Sony camera that does not use tapes. It is the DCR-SR40. They files are saved as Quicktime, but I cannot use them in FCE. Sony support says that they are not compatible with Mac. I can buy an editing program from Pixela, for $100, but then I can't use FCE. Any help in getting the files to work? Any third party software to convert the files? Sony support said I could use an analog capture card, but again, another expense, and I lose the digital. Grr!

Hey, thanks a bunch! I got Streamclip to work finally. I did have to d/l the quicktime add. I tried it without, to no avail. This twenty dollar fix is a lot better than the hundred dollar one.
I tried to email you, but the forum wouldn't give me your address. Is there any difference to the export choices? Export to DV is the best choice? It worked with one dvd I just made. Since you have this camera, am I supposed to format the HDD drive before I use it? I did not, as I was in a hurry to film. I just grabbed it out of the box and shot. I seem to remember that I had to do that as well when I bought a still Sony camera a few years ago. Same problem, had to format to get the disk to read.
Again, thanks a great deal for your help. I appreciate all here, both of you guys who helped me answer this problem.
Best,

Will PPRo support new Sony HDR-AX2000 in 24P Mode?

The new Sony camera looks quite nice, but I am curious if the current version of PPRo will support the 24P format it delivers. It says it encapsulates it in 60i, similar to other vendors, but not sure it will convert it over propertly to a true 24P like Adobe provides support for the Panasonic cameras.

If you leave it encapsulated inside the 60i and put it inside a 60i timeline it will play just fine, but won't be true 24P (although will maintain the same general look, it is just interlaced and you won't have full progressive frames which may or may not matter depending on what you are doing). If you want a true 24P timeline you will need 3rd party software to extract it, like Cineform's Neoscene which worked great on my Canon cameras which also encapsulate inside of 60i. I have seen in blog posts where people have tested with the new Sony and said Cineform works fine.
A couple of notes on the AX2000, by the time you factor everything in and all the accessories, etc, the HXRNX5U (it's more advanced brother) to me is a better buy and in my opinion will get a better resale. However, you may also want to consider the HMC150 from Panasonic, I also was tempted to get the Sony, but just bought the HMC150 because of a number of reasons. Even though it doesn't have the 20x zoom, it has comparible low light performance, better colors, a better way to focus (which is very important with HD content), can write to true 24P without having to do any conversion, and it is much lighter and has a proven track record. With CS5 coming out now and having the ability to truly take advantage of the GPU, memory and multiple cores, it is going to be possible now to edit natively in PPRo without doing any conversions and I for one really look forward to that because when you convert to something like cineform you are making much larger files and it adds to the workflow time as well. With the Panasonic you just record in 24P mode (720 or 1080), copy it to your hard drive and you are ready to edit. There are still some advantages to the Cineform codec, like 10 bit 4:2:2 color, but depending on what you are doing you may not need it.
Hope this helps. It would be interesting to here from anyone who had the HMC that also uses the Sony.

The support for that camera was added in the very latest release of Lightroom, version 5.7.1. Having downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 will have no effect on Lightroom because Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. You need to make sure you have updated Lightroom to the very latest release in order to have support for that camera.

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

New Sony DSC T900 Camera Advice

This is my first post on the Apple forums although I have read many post on here from others and found it a very useful and informative place to learn, I am also to fairly new to Final Cut also making the transition over from iMovie 08 so please be patient with me, thanks.
I hope the links work I have inserted have and I have given enough information to you all to try and help.
My system is a iMac 24 inch Intel 2.4GHz processor with 1 GB of memory
Here go's, my query is about the new Sony DSC T900 still and video camera that I have recently purchased, I have shot a 15 minute 1 GB HD movie in 1280x720 widescreen on it with a Sony pro duo 8 GB AVCHD memory stick, which is formatted to MS Dos(Fat32) according to the Apple info tab and is "as is" when i purchased it.
I can not find much out about this camera on other forums as it as only just come out from Sony I think.
The camera uses a USB docking station to connect it to the computer and I am using a
2 terabyte Western Digital external hard for media storage which is formatted in Mac OS extended journaled and set as my scratch disk storage
My question is how or can I upload direct into Final Cut Express 4 HD from this camera using USB connection, I have all the setting correct I think in F.C for my system and camera, and also have Tom's book for reference which I have found very very useful but I am not having any luck, after trying numerous things to get the footage into F.C. I can easily load it into iMovie 08 and export as an XML file and I can use import in F.C direct from the memory stick but when I try any other methods in Toms book i have no luck.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to any of these methods I have used so far as opposed to the likes of Log & Transfer and which should I use if it is possible to to achieve the best results and to retain the best quality of the footage in the final rendering of the movie.
If anybody can help and needs more information to help I will post further details so please just ask.
Thanks in advance
Guy

Welcome to the forum!
FCE can only capture or ingest DV, HDV, or AVCHD directly and can only edit DV, Apple Intermediate Codec, or some other Quicktime formats natively. I don't believe the footage taken by this camera meets any of these specifications. You should first convert the footage taken on your camera using [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to a format FCE understands.

If I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

if I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

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.

HT5182 I wonder if iPhoto supports the new Sony DSC-RX100 II camera.

I wonder if iPhoto supports the new Sony DSC-RX100 II camera. I know it is not supported by Aperture. Can anyone help please?

It's the system that supports the RAW formats. So if Aperture doesn't support it neither will iPhoto.
You'll have to wait until a new Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update is issued by Apple for the camera.

FCP won't recognize my new Sony FX7 camera

FCP won't recognize my new Sony FX7 camera even though iMovie does.
I have FCP ver4.5. Is that why?

That is why.
I don't believe v. 6 of FCP recognizes it either and my guess is that capture will be by the Apple Intermediate Codec AIC in iMovie
