Niko nef support in aperture

Count me as another new D300s owner who can't get either Aperture or i Photo to recognize nef files from the D300s. I did get the raw files to work when I formatted the CF card for the D200 and installed it in the D300s. Hope the problem gets solved soon. Don't think of this work around as a solution.

CS5 will never open your files natively. They require ACR 7.2 at least, which means CS6 and beyond. You can only use the free DNG converter "flavor" of ACR.

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.

  • Canon 7D Raw Support in Aperture 2 after installing Aperture 3 trial

    Hi!
    I'm having a really weird problem! A few months ago I purchased Aperture 2 and have been working with it ever since. About a week ago I installed the Aperture 3 trial to see what the general differences are. After playing with it I noticed not enough "useful" changes compared to Aperture 2 to actually purchase Aperture 3. So I removed Aperture 3 and went back to my good old Aperture 2.
    Two days ago I bought the Canon EOS 7D, but when connecting to my Mac the Raw files are not supported by Aperture 2! While I was trying out Aperture 3 I used software update to update Camera Raw as well and it seems that Camera Raw Update 3.2 enabled Aperture 3 to work with my 7D's raw files but disabled Aperture 2 to support them! I searched the Apple support pages for older versions of Camera Raw and came across version 2.7 which should enable Aperture 2 to work with the EOS 7D. But as expected, I cannot install 2.7 because 3.2 is already installed!
    Does anyone know wether it's possible to "downgrade" camera raw to version 2.7? Or is there any other solution to my problem? It can not believe that an innocent Aperture 3 trial forces me to actually upgrade to Aperture 3 because Aperture 2 now refuses to support my brand new 7D?! Is there anyone on this forum familiar with this problem and able to help me? Many thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Mick van Jaarsvelt

    I am running with same type of problem. I have Aperture 2.0 and can not work the Raw files from my Canon 7D. I have no problems working Raw files from my old Rebel Canon camera. Did you solve your problem?

  • Hello, failing miserably here,  cant import nef files from aperture 3.1.2 to iphone 4.  I am syncing with the projects and smart albums and I am only able to sync the jogs and psd's   Anyone out there to aid this frustrated photographer??

    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.

  • Time to export/save one D2X NEF to JPG Aperture vs. Bridge/ACR

    15" PB, 1.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, running Firefox, Entourage, while each app is running test.
    Single D2X NEF in an Aperture project:
    -No sharpening applied, export to JPG 11 seconds
    -Any sharpening applied, export to JPG 29 seconds
    Single D2X in a folder in Bridge, open in ACR
    under Bridge:
    -Any sharpening or not, save to JPG 15 Seconds
    Note, while Aperture exports, the entire app is tied up. Bridge does the saving in the background, which allows you to continue working in Bridge/CS2

    I have not run that test, but I did do Aperture batch versus CS(1) batch...
    Basically, when I'm batching from CS RAW -> JPEG, my dual G5 turns 12 images per minute. When I "export" from Aperture (which might as well be a "batch," it's doing the same function), I get a little over 13 images per minute.
    Frankly, I almost never sharpen when coming from RAW. I prefer to make a highly selective sharpening pass later after going to JPEG, sharpening only those that need it the most. I'm not a big believer in sharpening, due to fact that I have no control over how image will be resized, and sharpening prior to a significant resizing is pointless in my experience... and despite all the talk about how digital images are soft compared to film (due to the built-in sensor filter) I don't really buy that. I don't remember film being so dang sharp.... with the L series glass I'm using and 8.2 megapixels, this stuff looks as freakin' sharp as 35mm film ever did to me... now I will concede that medium format film has a certain sharpness advantage, but 35mm??? Maybe Kodachrome on a tripod, but probably not an ISO 400 print film hand held at a wedding reception... I digress.
    Now I'm going to go run your sharpness test to see what I can see, seeing as how I finally upgraded to CS2 this week.

  • Nikon NEF files and Aperture 2

    Can anyone advise how to allow adjustments to NEF files in Aperture 2?
    I just bought a Nikon D700 after using a Canon w/out problems for years.
    I imported to iPhoto and then to Aperture. All the files appear in view but adjustments are ghosted out and it says are "not enabled".
    I have NX2 but find it clunky and would prefer to use Aperture.
    I'm appealing for help after spending nearly all weekend trying to get it to work.
    Very grateful for any advice!

    I would guard against upgrading to Ap 3, particularly if you are running 10.6.4, unless you are willing to face head on the issues raised in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2470180&tstart=15&start=0.

  • What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.

    What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.  My OS is OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I have recently bought a Canon 7D MkII and have found Adobe Lightroom does not as yet support the 7D MkII.  So I though Aperture may support the 7D MkII because Yosemite 10.10.1 now does.

    Hi Folk,
    I just found the answer to my question.  Yes it is supported with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  See the link below and the ***** Note at the bottom of the list.

  • Panasonic tz60 raw not supported in Aperture 3. How to fix?

    can anyone help me?

    panasonic tz60 raw not supported in Aperture 3. How to fix?
    Aperture's raw support is camera specific. The list of currently supported cameras is here:
    Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Apple focusses on cameras, that are most likely used by professionals. Your camera is an excellent camera, and I wish I had it, but so far none of the cameras in the Panasonic Lumix tz-family have been supported in Aperture.  So send feedback to Apple, that you want this camera to be supported.  You can use this form for a feature request:  Apple - Aperture - Feedback
    To be able to use your raw files in Aperture, you could try a few work-arounds:
    Use the software, that came with your camera, to convert the files to another lossless format, eg. TIFF.
    Or do, what I am doing with the raws from my Lumix FZ28 - download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your RAWS to DNG format:  Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh, I don't know, if that will work for your tz60 files, but give it a try.
    If you have hopes, that Apple will support the camera soon, shoot RAW&JPEG for the time being, and work with the JPEGs, until hopefully the raw support will be released.

  • Fujifilm X100s RAW file (RAF) support in Aperture

    Any chance of an ETA for Fujifilm X100s RAW file (RAF) support in Aperture?

    that is a bit ambigous - reads like the long yearned for release of Aperture 4

  • Nikon D700 NEF Support

    Hi,
    We have some of the New Nikon D700's that will be going out into the field possibly as soon as next week. Any idea on when you will be releasing NEF support for ACR and LightRoom?
    Thank you!

    Adam JR,
    In my opinion, you still are not thinking clearly. Yes, you have the latest and greatest (in your opinion) camera. But until you have software available to support that camera you're just going to have to wait like everyone else does who buys something the minute it hits the marketplace. You have to wait for software support. Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, and all the other camera makers couldn't care less about Adobe and Camera Raw support. They don't provide Adobe with any advance copies of their file formats.
    Since Adobe is still working on providing support for your new camera, you're just going to have to wait. You want it right when it comes out don't you? Do you think Adobe is just sitting on their hands so they can watch you and others complain because they don't have support? Cool it! Support will be provided when the development team is satisfied they can provide it the way it should be provided.

  • NEF support within iPhoto (& Aperture)

    I have a D80 camera where I take my photos in RAW format. Technically its NEF. However I just purchased a Nikon Coolscan 5000, which I also have been scanning in RAW format. These are also NEF, but say Nikon Scan NEF. Yet for some reason iPhoto will not import these photos once they are scanned and saved. Is there any difference in the RAW format in the camera and Nikon Scan NEF file? iPhoto says they are simply "unreadable". What about Aperture, would that software be able to read the Nikon NEF photos? Anyone dealt with this before.

    Peter
    Yes there is a difference between the RAW formats of every camera - not just every brand, but every camera, scanner, whatever. So, it's very common that your D80 NEF is recognised but the Scanner's isn't. Very common.
    iPhoto and Aperture have the same RAW compatibility - it's provided by the OS.

  • RAW NEF files in Aperture from Nikon Capture editing show no edits

    Any NEF files that I have previously edited and re-saved in Nikon Capture Editor as a NEF file, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. I only see the 'As Shot' version.
    Interesting that the Finder in OS X shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
    Thanks, Scott K.

    According to Scott Kelby, in an ancient treatise from when he was currying favor with Nikon, that's how NEFs work, and that's the beauty of most proprietary raw handlers. Capture's adjustments are merely instructions, saved along with the file, rather like adjustment layers. When you open the NEF in Nikon Capture, the instructions are added to the image. You can always cancel them and recover the original since nothing has actually been done to the original. Your preview thumbnail out of Capture is designed to exhibit the changes but I'm not surprised Aperture doesn't read the changes made in Capture.
    If you saved out of Capture as a TIFF, aperture would see them.

  • Adobe DNG files not supported in Aperture 3.1.2?

    Those of you that follow this forum may have read my previous post - https://discussions.apple.com/message/15009745#15009745 - about RAW files from my old Windows machine whice look fine in iPhoto, but when I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture 3 they have this red haze over them like a flash coloured gel.
    As I said, the older files came from my old Windows machine, where they had been stored in Photoshop Elements, and in the past I had converted them from Canon's .CRW file format to Adobe's .DNG format. I've just checked in Aperture, and it is indeed only these which are washed out - all of the Canon .CRW files look fine, it's the Adobe .DNG files which are a mess. I'll hazard a guess that Aperture doesn't support the Adobe .DNG format I have and that is the issue, but why they are supported in iPhoto and no the professional app I can't imagine. A call to Apple tomorrow morning is in order to sort this one out I think unless any of this excellent forum's followers can offer help. Has anyone had a similar experience importing .DNG files into Aperture 3? I should add that they bad either form the original import from iPhoto, or directly importing into Aperture.
    Thanks James.

    Hi Bob, here's a quote from the link Stephen provided:
    "Adobe Camera RAW converted DNGs won’t work because the fine print of Apple’s DNG support shows that it only works with unconverted DNGs—and the new lensdata support of Adobe’s DNG specification generates converted DNGs. While, Adobe may disagree with me (and there is a good reason why they should), this is just the sort of moving-target that causes me to argue against converting to Adobe DNGs."
    As I said in the post this provides some useful background information, but I can't imagine that iPhoto uses a better DNG converter than Aperture (although perhaps older, so maybe that's why I can see the files okay in iPhto and not Aperture?). As for my OS, it's the latest version, I've done two software update checks this week so would for sure have run that when it came around, but I appreciate yours and others thinking on this problem of mine.

  • NEF support in Photoshop CS5

    I just bought a new Nikon d5200. The Raw format for this camera is NEF; I am using photoshop CS5 and it could not open the files. So after searching, it appeared that I just had to update the Camera Raw plugin for CS5, and my camera was listed as supported in the update, however, after updating I still cannot open the files; it is very frustrating. Does anyone know why this will not work?

    CS5 will never open your files natively. They require ACR 7.2 at least, which means CS6 and beyond. You can only use the free DNG converter "flavor" of ACR.
