Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
—Andreas

Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.

I have the same exact issue.
I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
Also the G9 raws are not working.
Finally after 3 months it's still not working
I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
Are the D3, D300 raws working?

Nikon NEF raw pictures unsupported Image format

ACR 7.0 in Released version of CS6 doesn't open Nikon D800 raw files.

The ACR 7.0 that installs with rhe released version of Photoshop CS6 still won't open Nikon d800 raw files.

Noel - I do use a card reader and always have! I don't go direct from the camera. As I point out, I am working around the problems that are stated above and I am here forcing myself to learn by asking those questions. Thanks though. I’m not ignoring anyone if I were I wouldn’t have all the comments above.
Jeff - I mentioned that I'm a teacher and need to know what I'm doing with the software. Sorry for the attitude.
I am an artist before a teacher it’s just that I like to be proficient when I teach (google me).
Why do you feel such animosity towards education? I’m really sorry I posted here at all.
ssprengel -
I am equally as surprised and not blaming LR4 just making an observation. I have used LR for years and manage a library of over 60,000 images with it. It is my software of choice and will continue to be. But this has become a persistent problem only with the D800 14bit NEF +- 45MB files, all other files from my Nikon DX cameras and my Canon cameras are fine. I’m not blaming LR4 it could also be the Nikon NEF, I just don’t know why LR4 truncates the D800 files and other software doesn’t.
- if I move files using Nikon ViewNX 2 or Windows7 Explorer the files simply move without problem. When I move them using LR4 they become truncated (no end of file error message). If I move them with LR4 and then copy over them into the new folder with the original copy, LR4 corrects and is able to deal with the file in their new destination. (this means a lot of extra work and saving the originals in another directory LR4 doesn’t see).
It's confusing. I have reinstalled LR4 3 times already and checked the hard disks. The bottom line is that both Windows and ViewNX will move the file without altercation. I don’t know why? Yet further confusion. Please realize that I am aware this may be an isolated issue and I intend to ask one of the college techs. to look at the problem.
I am not attacking Adobe, I only use Adobe products with my images and I want it to work that’s why I came here in the first place. I have a lot of money invested in Adobe software both here and all our other licences. Please stop using words like blame, reporting an issue is not blaming. Don’t shoot me I’m just conveying my current (personal) experiences with the product. I’m trying to figure out why and how to make it work.
This is my last post on this thread. Thanks a lot for all your help. I remain a faithful Adobe client and appreciative of all your kind remarks and assistance above.

Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR? Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

Aperture 2+D5100+.NEF(RAW)/JPG=Unsupported Image Format

First off, I am new to all this...
But anyway....Last night, for the first time, I imported images directly from my Nikon D5100 memory card onto Aperture 2. (Yes, I know there is an Aperture 3. I am just trying this one until it is something I decide I want to put the money in to...then I will get Aperture 3.) It appeared as though everything was going well because I could see the thumbnails/ previews along the bottom in my browser. So, I went ahead and deleted the images from my memory card. Then, when I clicked on an image to edit it in the viewer, I got a red screen with white writing that says "Unsupported Image Format." Boo! Is there ANYTHING I can do to recover my images? And secondly, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?
A few suggestions from looking around online that I have tried:
***Opening Aperture while holding down Opt+Command and then selecting: "Rebuild Now" and also the "Consistency Check" buttons.
***Opening: Finder- Library- Preferences- and then deleting com.apple.aperture.plist
The only change from doing all that is now my thumbnails don't appear- instead it just appears as though they are loading...
Again, working with Aperture 2, camera is a Nikon D5100, image format is both RAW (.NEF) /JPEG, (only the RAW file is showing up) and "Unsupported Image Format" message appears when I click on image and try to edit in the viewer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

The D5100 requires Aperture 3 see http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html

Editing Nikon D800 RAW files from LR4 to CS6...Images are not appearing in PS6

I just downloaded the latest PS6 and Camera Raw files. If I'm in LR4 and chose to edit an image in CS6 the image does not load. I never had the beta version of CS6. The files are from Nikon D800.

You need the ACR 7.1 from the Labs page.

Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
Thanks in advance

Hi SSPRENGEL,
Thank you for your response. Here is the error message I am receiving, I tried with various destination folders in the computer but it still gives the same error:. Just to let you know, I am able to import pictures into these folders from other memory cards.
I am able to finally at least extract the jpgs using the option suggested by elie-d

Nikon D800 RAW Files

I just shot my first batch of RAW images using the new Nikon D800. When I downloaded the images using Bridge the thumbnails in the download dialog shows the images. But after download the images are not being shown. Instead I get an icon. If I double click on an image I get a message that camera RAW doesn't recognize the file and a recommendation to update.
I have checked updates from within Bridge and from Photoshop and both tell me that everything is up to date. Photoshop tells me the camera RAW plug in is 6.6 and that is the latest shown on the Adobe download page. According the the information page 6.6 is compatible with the D800.
So, any ideas or suggestions for a solution?

Hmmmmmm................Well, when I went to the link in the error message it took me to the Adobe camera RAW information which stated 6.6 is the latest version and when I scrolled down the page to the supported cameras the D800 is shown there. So that is as far as I looked. Guess I didn't understand the information presented.
Thanks for the link and clearing that up.

Error importing Nikon D800 RAW files into Lightroom 4.4.1

Hi folks,
I got an Nikon D800 and tried to import the RAW files taken with it to my Lightroom 4.4.1 installation on Windows 8.1 64bit.
Lightroom info:
Lightroom version: 4.4.1 [908273]

I do get an error like this while trying to import the files:
And then when I try to import them I get an error screen.
The files can be viewed with irfanview so they should not be corupted.

Have you used any Nikon software with them, perhaps an older Nikon Transfer or View NX? These are known to make newer Nikon camera’s files unreadable by Adobe products.
On way to test would be to take a new picture and move it to your hard-drive using either your OS-level functions (Finder/Explorer) or LR, itself, directly from the card, perhaps in a card reader.
The utility, here, can reverse this obsolete-Nikon-software corruption:

Nikon D800 RAW file import

Hi,
Just got Lightroom 5 and cannot import RAW files.

You didn't re-save the NEFs in ViewNX2 did you?
The reason I ask is that there is a new feature to exclude preview when saving (in Capture NX2 anyway - dunno 'bout ViewNX2) - I guess Nikon got tired of people claiming DNG compression was better when the main reason DNGs may be smaller initially is due to the absence of (or smaller) jpeg preview .
Also, lots of people are using Lr5 with the D800 raws, but not a lot are using it with raws re-saved with the new ViewNX2.
Bottom line: try one fresh out of camera and see if that works. And if still no go, make sure you update your camera firmware.

HT3946 Unsupported image format

I've been getting a message "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of APPLE RAW processing" unsupported image format and it's been doing this to photos I took today and my older one's any advice on how to fix this?

What is the make of your camera? This problem has occured recently mostly for Lumix and Nikon cameras:
First try, if reprocessing the images will help:
See this section of the user manual on how to do this for selected images:
Reprocessing Images from Previous Versions of Aperture
If this does not help, you may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman:, Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work

D800 Raw files produce occasional 'unsupported image format'

Is anytone else having problems with some Nikon D800 raw (NEF) files in the latest Aperture version? Most of the files are fine, but some are 'Unsupported Image Format'. Aperture sometime shows them, then they vanish and are replaced with a grey triangle. Then randomly they sometimes come back.
It seems to just be the Nikon D800 raws casuing this. Any thoughts on a fix?
Thanks

It is unlikely to be caused by the recent Aperture update because it started happening to me just a few days ago (Nikon D2x NEF/JPEG pix) and I have been using Aperture version 3.3.2 under OS 10.7.4 for a long time.
Reconnecting the files in a referenced workflow has been resolving the problem for me.
