Nikon D800 raw files "unsupported image format".

I've a problem with Nikon D800 raw files "unsupported image format".
I've just upgrade to mountain lion with no success.

thank you
Andrea

Hey Andrea
sorry for the late reply. Have been on some working holidays
My setting is : typ>>>> no
bit>>>> 14
The only information, which is not transmitted is the adjustment level of the AF-finetuning
Good luck and hope it works meanwhile also with your camera

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

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?

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

Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

Hi,
I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
* NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
This requires a fix ASAP
Martin

Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
Best,
CD

When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format"

I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format". How do I fix this?

No, I did not do any updates between the time that the files were viewable and when they were not. I was actually without an internet connection for a few days when the problem started. I reported the bug to apple and have since been contacted by them asking for a few sample images so they can figure out the problem, so I'm hoping they come up with an answer for me.

Nikon D5000 RAW "Unsupported Image Format"

Well here's another one for the Unsupported Image Format category. I just received a Nikon D5000 took a hundred or two shots in RAW format only to find after importing them to Aperture a row of thumbnails. Now if only after clicking on a thumbnail for viewing it displayed the image and not "Unsupported Image Format".

all set with adobe raw 5.4, i grabbed the converter because the plugin is a p.i.t.a. and the installer isn't very friendly if you delete the plugin and try to start over. available from the labs at: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/CameraRaw5.4
i wouldnt expect apple to add compatibility till 10.5.8. its a big name and soon to be popular machine. so i would bet on it. but when that comes, id also bet to be a long time from now.

Nikon D70 RAW files now get "Unsupported Image Format"

Prior to March 12th, everything was working fine with my D70 Raw files. I now get the maroon "Unsupported Image Format" (USF) when I select the images that were previously fine. They show up for a fraction of a second before I get the error. I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I can export the RAW files and open them in Photoshop so they are OK. Also now when I import from my D70 I get the gray box instead of the image and a letterbox maroon USF message, the EXIF data still imports and is associated with the image. Help. I did upgrade to 1.1.1
Dual 1.8Ghz Powermac G5 2GB RAM Radeon X800 XT Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I can't really put my finger on it. I know for sure it happened post 1.1 upgrade, but it happened with 1.0 as well (I didn't do any troubleshooting when it first happened, just re-imported and it was fine.) The last time it happened it was the last 20 images on the original CF card, mostly in succession, but there were a few images that were still able to be read okay inside of that 20 image string. I reimported from the original card (thank God I had not erased yet!) and it was fine.
At least I know to keep my originals outside of aperture, what a space wasting bummer! I don't think I have any bad RAM because I've been running for 2 years without any real problems... The minor problems have happened, I believe with very tough weather conditions (humidity) and I experienced problems on all my Macs and even at work on windows. Maybe it was sun flares or static electricity, I don't know. The other issue is that my a/c power dips to low voltage often and my UPS switched to battery. I have a better UPS which always outputs 120v even when things sag or jump.
The only other thing I can possibly think of is that I have my Aperture library on a new Seagate 300GB drive that has only been used for images and sits dormant in my system except for scratch disk and Aperture. Actually, I did use it for about a month or two mirroring my boot drive with no errors, so I think the drive is good. Grr!
Troubleshooting rare occurances without have access to trace level data *****! (At work we can take a trace dump from our equipment and the guys can see pretty quickly what happened, and if it is hardware or software issue.)
To clarify, which Dual 1.8 do you have? The June 2004 one with only 4 RAM slots, or the 2003 one that was added to the original lineup with 8 RAM slots?

"Unsupported image format"- Has nothing to do with RAW images-

I have a very weird problem with one of my Aperture 3 libraries. This only seems to apply to one library, all the others I tested seem to work just fine.
This library was created on my MBA and transfered to my iMac when I returned from my trip. It worked fine until yesterday.
When I open an image (thumbnail looks just fine) the photo briefly shows the large view with the "Loading" indicator at the top. When the loading indicator goes away the photo is replaced with the "Unsupported image format" display. After that the thumbnail is gone too. This happens for most, but not all images in this gallery. I can restore the thumbnail and other previews from the raw NEF photos by choosing "Reprocess Original".
I have already tried all the options the Aperture debug menu offers (start with Option-Command), this didn't help…
When I open the library in the Finder (Show package contents) I can drill down to the "Previews" folder and see the photos that Aperture wont display. They seem jsut fine and all file permissions seem to be set correctly…
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? I really don't know what else i could try, short of deleting this library and importing all the images into a new one, losing all my edits, of course… Super annoying…
Thanks and kind regards, Hans
Edit: The raw photos are from my Nikon D700, which has been supported by the RAW importer since forever. i dont think that has anything to do with the original files, especially since Aperture can recreate the previews from the raws…

There has been problems with the last Raw update released a few days ago especially with Nikon cameras.
Have you updated your system software in the last day or so? Is it possible you updated on one system but not another.
And for what its worth norbertmuc's question was valid from a troubleshooting standpoint. If something worked at one point and stop working at a second point it is fair to ask what happened between those two points. He might have been a bit brusque but I don;t think he was accusing you of anything.
And of course there are many things you can do to a library to break it.

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.

Nikon D3000 - Unsupported Image Format

Hi -
It looks like Aperture is not working with the new Nikon D3000 raw format. I am able to see the thumbnails but when I try to view the larger picture, I get an unsupported image format error. Anyone else having this problem?
** Snow Leopard and Aperture 2.1.4**

Tell me about it. I am a professional photographer who has been working with Nikon and Aperture for a little while now in our portrait work. We have two d300's and a d700 which all work fine. Just picked up Nikon's new D300s for some on location portraits and it isn't supported. I wonder how long it'll be before apple releases their update.

EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

From the raw tech spec page:
Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.

Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....
EOS 350D with firmware version 1.0.2
iMac 2GHz/1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ok, messing around in the raw.plist fixed this. Is not an Aperture issue, more an OS X 10.4.3 issue --> http://minimal.cx/2005/11/01/make-os-x-1043-understand-canon-eos-350d-raw-files/
