No more Camera RAW Love for us iPhoto '09 users?

I guess all of us who don't like the new iPhoto are being held back by Apple from using our RAW images from the latest digicams. I thought RAW compatibility was system-wide and not a part of specific apps.
It makes no sense that they would not let you handle RAW pics in iPhoto '09.
Or Aperture 2.x for that matter. What gives?
It's just irritating, I've been waiting to be able to work with my G12 pics in iPhoto '09.
I really dislike the new iPhoto and have no intention of upgrading until places actually works and full-screen comes back among other more usability issues.
Aperture is cool but, $200?
Oh well, can anyone confirm that the Camera RAW is part of the OS and not just a add-on to the photo apps? If it is the OS then what the heck? Why wouldn't iPhoto '09 be able to deal with the RAW images.

f it's system wide, then why won't it let me install it.
It used to be System Wide but in recent times they've moved it more directly to the apps as otherwise they had to wait for an entire System Update to add Raw support for cameras. However, they also do get rolled into System Updates, AFAIK and so you might find it's added in 10.6.6 or whatever.
Is a G12 RAW file that much different than a G11? They're both 10 megapixels.
Megapixels have no relevance here at all. Yes, a G12 Raw is different from a G11 raw. By how much doesn't really matter - and you'd need to ask Canon that. But Raw support has to be added for each model individually, and remember the Camera Makers don't help that process in any way.
Guess I'm just curious why they think iPhoto '09 shouldn't be included. It handles all the other RAW formats just fine. What gives?
It does't handle "all the other Raw formats just fine", it handles the one that support has been written for only. WHat gives is that software makers stop adding features to older versions of an app when there is an upgrade available - it's an encouragement for you to spend money.
Maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy Aperture...
See?

  • Looking for the camera raw plugin for Nikon d3100

    Hello!
    I'm familiar with how to install a camera raw plugin for photoshop.  However, I've had a difficult time finding the correct download link for the Nikon d3100 for ps cs4.  Will you please point me in the right direction with a link or otherwise?  Thanks so much!

    ACR - Adobe Camera Raw versions are specific to the version of Photoshop you have.
    They don't provide updates to your version for cameras that were released much later.
    You need to download the LATEST version of DNR Converter and use this to convert a FOLDER that contains your D3100 files to DNGs which then can be opened in your older version of ACR for Photoshop CS4.
    The Adobe DNG Converter, a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG raw file.

  • Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7

    Is it still possible to purchase the Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7?
    If so, can the plugin read *.raw files from an Olympus C-8080?

    HI mattscreative,
    Yes I've installed that but that imports .orf files and my camera saves .raw files.
    Thanks,

  • Is there Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii?

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more
    about it.  I downloaded the DNG converter and transferred in files from my
    camera.  Then I imported into Lightroom.  It works!   Thanks again.

  • Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

    Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store.  This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
    I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII.  This will be a VERY popular camera.
    More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software".  When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII.  I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
    So after my little rant.
    Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
    Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester.  I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing.  I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
    Kind Regards
    Tom Croll

    Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product.  Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
    I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released.  I have been in the software development game for 35 years
    But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc.  As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into.  I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models.  I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
    Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
    To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable.  Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
    In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files.  But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
    There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support.  Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models.   Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
    I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe.  In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management.  I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.
    Kind Regards

    there is no camera raw support for Leaf Aptus-II 8? I need to be able to read MOS files

    OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats seems to indicate that you are correct.
    Are you are trying to provide  Apple - Aperture - Feedback or Apple - iPhoto - Feedback?
    If so, use you can send direct feedback via the above link(s).  You will not likely get a direct response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people  will see your input for consideration in future product development.
    If you seek a solution rather than to offer feedback, or until Apple supports your needs within the Mac OS, check whether Mamiya's Leaf RAW converter 1.2.6 for Mac meets your needs.

  • Lost camera raw support for canon 1ds markI in mountain lion

    I seem to have lost system support for camera raw files for the original Canon 1ds (what you might call the markI). There's been two recent raw support updates, and I'm not sure if it occured with the first for those two updates or with update to Mountain Lion itself (which I recently clean-installed). I noticed it after the first raw support update (Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01) but it could have happend with Mountain Lion install and I just didn't notice. In any case, I definitely don't have support for the camera raw files, finder shows only the generic TIFF icon thumnail (the raw files from the markI 1ds were of the extension .TIF, before canon moved on to .cr2 format..). Preview and Aperture can preview the file but without any custom white balance or other info stored with the raw file from camera.
    Anybody else experience this or know fix?
    Thanks!
    For anyone wanting and willing to test on their machine, I'll post a link to a test raw file.... hmm, apparently this support forum does not allow for the linclusion of a link to an image file, but I'll see if it allows for a link to a zipped folder with image inside... I suppose I wouldn't download a .zip file myself but for anyone braver than I:

    Lane,
    That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
    I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
    Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
    I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
    Not much help, I know.

    You don't.
    The D7100 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4

    Camera Raw 7.4 will only work in CS6 and above.

    You either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get CC.
    Or convert to DNG and edit the DNGs in CS5

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.
