Older Verions of Apple's RAW Processing?

I cannot edit files in one of my projects. All of the Adjustment options are dimmed and in place of the histogram it says either "Image Offline" or "Image Not Found." I tried updating with the master but it couldn't find the master. It also says, in dimmed text,"This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing." All (at least I think I checked all) other projects taken before and after (the photos in this project were taken 10/29/10 to 11/1/10) show the histogram and I think the adjustment options are usable. This file contains a couple of images I really like but I want to make adjustments. What did I do wrong? Can I update this project with Time Machine? If so, how? "About Aperture" says I have Version 3.1 followed by 1290000.2 and "Digital Camera RAW 3.4.1 - Build 5460000.1
I know I updated Aperture recently but I don't recall when. Is this something I need to worry about happening to other projects? Thanks for any insights.

I am on a MacBook Air (mid 2011) running Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.2.3 with Digital Camera Raw 3.12.0. I have the exact same green photo import problem described above. I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 and I shoot RAW. Sometimes (I can't seem to determine what triggers this), when I click on the photo and Aperture brings it up in the Split View, Aperture briefly re-processes the photo and displays it without the green tint, but now the photo is over exposed. If I right click->remove all adjustments, then the photo finally displays correctly.
Sometimes, Aperture tells me "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing".
The fix suggested by Snoop Dogg at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3942768?start=30&tstart=0 took away the green tint. But now the recently imported photo is still over exposed. By default, I turn on "Auto Enhance" on on my imports into Aperture. I still have to right click->remove all adjustments, then the reapply the "Auto Enhance" quick fix before my photo finally displays correctly.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing

It is May 16 2012. A couple of days ago there was an update to OSX. I am now at 10.7.4. My Aperture version is 3.2.3. Digital Camera Raw 3.12.0 build 615 and a bunch of zeros.
Last night when I imported a slew of photos, everything seemed to go well, but when all processing was complete all of the photos changed to a deep green hue. I finally found the message in the title line: "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing" and somewhat resolved the problem by individually reprocessing each master.
Does anyone know what has caused Aperture to act this way and how the problem can be fixed? From a timing perspective, I feel that it was the OSX update, but I cannot be sure.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This photo was adjusted sung an earlier version of apple's RAW processing

Using Aperture 3 I recieved this message when opening a new set of photos. The reprocessing button does not work and all adjustments are not functioning. What do I need to do be able to process these photos?

RAW Processing Change?

Today, I believe after installing the version 5.01 Digital RAW Compatibility Update, all of the pictures in my library produced by my Nikon D2x and D3 cameras are listed as being adjusted using an "earlier version of Apple's RAW processing." And clicking on the button to reprocess the RAW images does result in very minor changes.
These cameras are pretty old models. Did Apple really sneak in some changes to RAW processing engine for older models along with the added models listed in the RAW Compatibility update? Nothing was said about this in the update page, and this happened before only with a major Aperture version introduction. Did this happen for anyone else?

I'm seeing changes for many, perhaps all, my Sony camera bodies. But first, note that the Images aren't -- iirc -- marked as "needing" to be re-converted -- they are simply marked as having been converted by a superannuated version of Digital Camera RAW. I create my own RAW tuning settings, and save them as the default. With DCRAW 5.x, I had to create new ones and save them again as the default. But I didn't have to change any Images that had been converted with any of the older DCRAW versions.
I think the notice I got was very similar to the one that shows up when you use the old "Highlights & Shadows (sic)" adjustment brick.

How do I update a folder of DNGs to the new 2010 (Current) Raw Process?

Is there an efficient method to update an entire folder of DNG images to the newer RAW process in Camera Raw 6.1 - to "2010 (Current)"?
And as an added bonus, it would also be great to simultaneously update the Camera Profile - to "Adobe Standard".
I have lots of folders of DNGs that were processed in ACR 5.7 or Lightroom 2.7, and so they were processed in the older, 2003, process version.
I see that when I update a single DNG in Lightroom 3's Develop Module that I am asked if I want to update all of the photos shown in the Filmstrip at the bottom of the window. This is very convenient!
My father does not yet have Lightroom 3, but does have Photoshop CS5 and ACR 6.1 installed and he wants an efficient method to do the same using those tools. We found that if we open the folder in Bridge, select all the DNG images, open the multiple images in Camera Raw, click on the "Select All" button in the upper left corner of the window, that we can then go to the Camera Calibration panel and make these two changes to all of the images simultaneously.
It seems like there should be some method of doing this from within Bridge. When we go to Edit -> Develop Settings -> Copy Camera Raw Settings and then select all of the other DNGs in the folder and go to Edit -> Develop Settings -> Paste Camera Raw Settings.... and choose only the Camera Calibration checkbox, that only one of the two settings actually gets changed; the Camera Profile setting does - the Process version does not.

You CAN easily make a Camera Raw preset or use Copy/Paste develop settings to change a folder's worth of files to "Adobe Standard"...that's simple. However, currently the Process version is not captured in a preset not copy/paste settings...the only current method is to actually open images inside of Camera Raw, select all and change the Process version to what you want...note, even Sync won't sync the Process version...only select all and then change the setting.
It's hoped in the future this will be somehow addressed...it will require that the subsetting for Process version be a separate item in the Camera Calibration settings.

Leica D-LUX 4 (LX3) RAW Processing

Hi all,
Just wanted to report some interesting behavior regarding the long-awaited RAW processing ability for the D-LUX 4 and Panasonic LX3. I did not see this happen on the first library I coverted, because I let Aperture do the image processing, so the files were already converted when the Library upgrade process finihed.
Anyway, this time I did not process images when doing the upgrade of my personal library, because I wanted it to finish the task quickly. It did about 3 hours for some 40K photos.
I had been shooting RAW + jpg since I got my Leica D-LUX 4 in the hopes that Aperture would support it some day...and that day came!
Anyway, the .RWL RAW files show up in the browser view as black boxes with the warning triangle. They convert when you select them individually, and that was pretty much as expected.
What was cool though, was when I had opened an .RWL image into Split View, and then arrow key selected the next unprocessed image. Aperture displayed "Unsupported Picture Format" on top of a low res image that had really severe lens distortion for an instant in what appeared to be a 16:9 or longer aspect ratio image, then displayed the properly converted 4:3 RAW file.
This is obviously the lens correction processing that is part of the way the camera operates, and that A2 was incapable of converting correctly. I thought it worth mentioning that you can sort of see it at work in A3.
It is so great to have A3 do such a good job on these files, and be so responsive. Really enjoying getting to work with my Leica RAW files finally.
THANKS APERTURE TEAM!
Sincerely,
K.J. Doyle

I have been waiting for over a year for RAW support for the Leica D-Lux 4 using Aperture 2. It seems that this support is only going to be offered for Aperture 3 users. I have asked at my local Apple Store for an explanation without any success. Is it really just a marketing ploy for A3, or was there a technical reason why A2 could not have support for this camera??
Hi Tony,
Now I am not sure if this conversion works on a machine without Aperture 3 on it, because all of the machines here have A3 on them...
BUT...
I just dragged a .RWL file into iPhoto and it opened, no problem.
I have no control over the conversion, of course, and the better control system for RAW is what you are paying for in A3.
I shot over 30K images with my DL4, storing RAW + JPG hoping for this, and seeing them come up in A3, and be so workable (better that Phase one) was a very happy day for me.

Raw processing - camera compatibility

I own a Panasonic DMC-FZ18 camera, and was about to buy the newer FZ45. However, I note that Aperture only appears to support RAW processing with the FZ100 in that range.
Does this mean I will not be able to process RAW images with either the FZ18 or FZ45? If so, is their any likelihood that these older models will to be added to the supported list?

Correct. Also we have no way of knowing if any particular camera will be added.

HT3946 Raw processing for Fuji X1 Pro

Raw processing for Fuji X1 Pro - when can we expect it to be supported in Aperture

This is a user forum, so none of is will know officially; you probably have found already the list of raw formats supported by Aperture: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Apple has been rather quick with adding raw support for pro cameras lately, so keep your fingers crossed.
Use the feedback form in the Aperture " - menu > Provide feedback to Apple" to ask for speedy raw support.

Strange RAW processing problem

I've just jumped into the Mac world recently with a Mac Pro (which I absolutely love). I've been watching Aperture since it was announced. A friend of mine has been using it for a while. He has Cannon cameras and so he is golden. However, I was playing with it the other day to get a feel before I decided to purchase. I loaded up a set of RAW files from my Olympus E-500 and was ready to play. Unfortunately several of my shots ended up looking like this on screen:
http://PhilU.smugmug.com/photos/103737186-M.jpg
Lightroom (Adobe's RAW processing has always been excellent) shows the same problem images just fine:
http://PhilU.smugmug.com/photos/103737163-M.jpg
This is on Aperture 1.5 on 10.4.8.
This seems to be an issue with long exposures that have the "Noise Reduction" (dark fram subtraction) turned on. I had a few long exposures with it turned off that looked fine and also some shorter exposures with it turned on that looked fine. That's just speculation though.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there anything I can do to make it work?

Yea, same for me in all apps using the core RAW functionality (Preview, iPhoto, Aperture, etc.)
I had thought this thread was dead long ago. I did get it submitted as a bug on http://bugreport.apple.com back then - it is still in "Open" status. Hope they get a chance to take a look at it.
The upside is that the workaround I mentioned before is still in effect. I also noticed that the last RAW update included a DNG fix so that files converted with the newer versions of the DNG converter are read properly. Would still be nice to have native ORF working properly (it does work fine most of the time, just not with images of the particular combination listed above).

Has apple stopped Raw compatibility updates??

I Just looked at all of the raw updates over the past year. Shortest time between updates.... 3 weeks, longest time 9 weeks, average, 6.3 weeks. Time since last update 10 weeks.
i Have brought this up in other forums and people are saying either Apple is dropping support for iphoto and Aperture and to not expect any further updates. Others say dont worry Apple is committed to photographers.
THe current evidence is supporting the naysayers. If they do not update soon.... I can read the handwriting on the wall and its off to LR... but I really hope not.

The subtext in your question is really all about Apple's priorities: how much energy is it putting into meeting the needs of pro and amateur photographers who use cameras that shoot RAW?
I doubt that Apple is too busy to find the time (although they've got a lot of money to count), and even if that were so, it says something about priorities. But there are tons of alternatives; even open source RAW conversion applications like dcraw/RAWTherapee have a more recent list of supported cameras.
But consider RAW support and what it means. Traditionally Apple doesn't try to support tons of different kinds of hardware. If you want your hardware to work with Apple's system it's sorta on you to make it happen. Consider another image input: scanners. Canon has to provide the driver; Apple now bundles those in system upgrades, but I doubt they have someone writing them. It's up to Canon to do that. Most camera manufacturers don't publish specs about their RAW files; much of the work has been done by sorta reverse engineering them. dcraw started doing that a long time ago, and is behind some of the software you see out there today (RAWTherapee is an example). That's not necessarily bad, I guess, since the intial processing of RAW files gives developers reason to say their software (CaptureOne, LR, DxO, etc) does a better job of this than others.
And Apple has more to do than say PhaseOne. Their camera RAW updates also work with the image i/o framework to identify the filetype and make it available to more than Aperture or iPhoto; that's why you can "see" the RAWs in icon views in Finder windows, in QuickLook, and in other applications that rely on Apple for RAW support. So I imagine it's not as easy for them as for one-off application developers. I'd also be curious to know whether the camera manufacturers support Apple's work. Do they give them the specs for the RAWs? There's probably no reason why, in addition, that the manufacturers couldn't make a qlgenerator plugin (for QuickLook) that would make their RAW files visible in the Finder. I have one made by EyeTV, for example.
So while we're all speculating here, I'd say that it's possible that some of this might be down to your camera manufacturer. Love to know if that's true. And maybe the whole system for doing RAW is changing. Perhaps Apple is putting more onus on the camera guys to do the work; can't say I'd blame 'em.
I don't know if it's still true, but some folks have had to use Pacifist to load the RAW support if they didn't have iPhoto or Aperture installed. This led someone to write a qlgenerator for folks with that dilemma (http://rene.rebe.de/2013-08-11/exactimage-quicklook-w-camera-raw-support/). Although it wouldn't do the conversion for you, it might make your currently unsupported RAW files more usuable on your Mac.
While I think Apple whiffed with the whole Aperture thing, and I can see why some are very annoyed with them, it's not like there's a lack of alternatives.

Canon 60D Raw Processing Quality

I have recently upgraded the raw file definition for Aperture 3.1 to include the newly released Canon 60D. To my horror I noticed that raw files coming into Aperture has purple dots all over the place, making the photos purple. Some photos were taken in 3200 ISO setting, some at 1600. My first thought was a problem with my photos, but then I used Digital Photo Professional to convert and it made a night and day difference. Is anyone having the same problem? I have gone through hundreds of photos between Aperture and DPP and it is clear that Aperture is not converting these raw files correctly. I didn't have this issue with Aperture when I had the Canon 50D raw format.
Thoughts?

I am having the same exact problem with my 60D. All of my photos process with a dark magenta hue in the blacks. Upping the exposure or brightness on any of my RAW photos causes the pinks to come out of the blacks and the photo looks even more overly saturated with pink. If I shoot in both JPEG and RAW simultaneously, the JPEG looks as it should be. But once the RAW version reaches Aperture, or OS X in general, the pink hue is very apparent and has ruined all of the photos I've shot since I first got the camera.
It should also be noted that processing the RAW files with the factory software supplied by Canon with the camera processes the photo as expected without the dark magenta hues. Could there be an issue with the RAW compatibility that Apple delivered in the OS X 10.6.5 update? I doubt this is a problem with the camera as the RAW file looks fine when processed with any software that isn't Apple related such as Aperture, iPhoto, or Preview.
Attached is a screenshot of a normally processed RAW file (top) and an Apple/OS X processed RAW file (bottom), same exact photo:

Canon 6D RAWs processed awfully bad?!

Hi,
I previously owned a Canon 400D and loved Aperture for the entire workflow, it was just a breeze. Now got a new Canon 6D and also took some test photos with the 5D mk3, and every Raw that I import just looks awfully dark and contrasty.
That is, for a moment they look nice, and then, when they're fully loaded, they turn dark and contrasty.
I thought something would be wrong with the cameras, but opened up some of the pictures in lightroom or in Photoshop, using the adobe raw processor, and there, everything looks nice.
I never knew that the aperture raw processing was so bad, not just with colors, but also with noise reduction for example. Am I doing anything wrong, maybe with some secret color space setting or so (cam is set to sRGB), or are the raw profiles in aperture for these new cameras just not implemented properly yet?
Example Images:
Aperture:
http://chfilm.de/download/foto/IMG_0324A.jpg
Adobe Raw Conversion (nothing done, except hit auto adjust and increased the luma denoise a bit)
http://chfilm.de/download/foto/IMG_0324LR.jpg
what is going on?? I seriously what have never expected such an enormous impact on image quality by the software, especially since I thought Aperture was a Pro-tool. Look at the sharpness of the images!!

I have been fortunate enough to recently upgrade myself to a Canon EOS 6D. After my first shoot, I was heartbroken to see the poor quality of the images--dark, low contrast, etc. This was fixable in Aperture with some effort, but then I started noticing serious blue and orange color artifacts around high-contrast edges, and a near total loss of detail in deeper shadows. I was about to return the 6D as defective but then tried a couple images in Canon's RAW processing software. And I was blown away by the results--gorgeous images, perfect contrast and loads of shadow detail that could be extracted with the right adjustments. I also grabbed a trial of Lightroom, which produced results similart to Canon's software.
So there's nothing wrong with the camera. Apple's RAW converter for the 6D is just flat busted. How could something this bad have actually made it out the door?
I've been a long-term Aperture user--since version 2.0, and have grown to love the interface and the effortless workflow for organizing images. But the issues with the 6D RAW converter have pretty much forced me to abandon Aperture over night. Hello Lightroom.
As with previous comments, I suspect this is really just part of the thin end of the wedge with Aperture and that it may be headed for extinction. Sad.
Here is an example that shows the shadow issues. Both are 100% views of he same RAW file loaded without any additional adjustments--except that I've cranked up the shadow level to illustrate the Aperture RAW converter's failure:

Canon sx40 RAW processing

I shoot RAW with Canon SX40 HS using CHDK. Aperture reportedly has a profile for Canon SX50 (not 40) RAW. Does anyone know how Aperture might interpret a RAW image that's associated with the SX40? And is there a way to change the camera model to "fool" or force Aperture into using it's SX50 profile for RAW processing? I don't see any controls for telling Aperture to use a particular camera profile. (Of course, all this may be for naught since Aperture is being discontinued...)
thx
