Olympus E520 RAW support

This is not necessarily specific to Apple, but since I use Aperture right now it applies here. I've had a new Olympus E520 camera for several weeks now and it is still not supported by Aperture (nor Lightroom, although Adobe's DNG Converter version 4.5 for Windows does support it). This is immensely frustrating since the Olympus software crashes on my Mac Pro (I would prefer not to use it anyway, and after a 15 days trial I'll have to buy it to convert my Olympus RAW files).
The industry needs to change such that when a new camera is released it is already supported by photo apps. Fine if I have to go an download it, I don't mind that. But having to wait (and wait) for an update long after the camera is released is simply wrong in this day and time. The camera companies need to provide whatever info is necessary for the photo app companies to create their RAW converters and the photo app companies need to work to keep up in a timely fashion.
So... here's to Olympus E520 support in Aperture, soon : )

You have to buy the software to convert their RAW files? UGH.
Your first (current) option is to use Adobe's DNG converter (as you noted) version 4.5 to create DNG files, that Aperture should be able to use. There is a Mac version of this software as well. It's an extra step, but it will work.
There's no reason you shouldn't also use Aperture's "submit feedback" mechanism to let Apple know what camera you're using. This forum isn't officially staffed by the Aperture team. So while Joe Schorr pops his head in every once in a while, there's no guarantee Apple is seeing your note here. Submit feedback will be seen

Olympus e30 Raw support? Will there be a UPdate?

I am using LRf2.3 64-bit Vista, and a new Olympus e30
When I import and convert to DNG I notice on the e30 files that I am using Adobe Standard as the Camera Calibration. Does not even have a listing for the current ACR 5.3 to choose.
Read on DPR that the Olympus e30 support in LR v2.3 is not optimal (sub-optimal as DPR put it)    Which my gut feeling tells me it is true.
link to DPR mention of this:   http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse30/page31.asp
Also, strange goings on when I import with AUTO exposure ... which was pretty close before (only had to change the Brightness slider down on other OLY files).
Question:   Is the Update comming Soon?
Question: What are my solution options?   Has anyone found a good workaround for now?
Strange to me Adobe did not correct this already.

Zuikoke, LR v2.4 e30 color on the defaut import   ... I normally import (and convert to DNG) using the e-30 "as shot" WB ... which I find, during the day and flash, the e30 WB it pretty good ... so, I use it as a starting point and do a small tweak from there.
On the ... 'brownish' contrasty tone ... I might see that in the "Skin Tones" ... but, an adj on exp. / fill light seems to help this quickly ... but, on something important I normally smooth/adj the skin (separatly) a little anyway.
At this point I think any color issues I might have could be solved on a small tweak in a default import Pre-set.   My issue with the conversion is Sharpness and Noise on a 12mp e30 file (vs my 10mp e510 files) ... and the DPR review/thing only made me wonder more (they get to convert/compaire using different software.   And it does not seem to be with the camera , it "seems" the conversion could be BETTER. (sharper, on the default import)
Would also like to see LR have the OLY Natural and Vivid options ... to copy the output of the OLY JPG (which is very good, but, I don't use lol)
* also, wish Olympus would work together with Adobe and have there bodys output DNG files that "THEY / Olympus" can optimize ... so, there is no need for a version update for every new OLY body.
Just my take on it.

Olympus E-P3 Raw Support Question

I recently purchased an Olympus E-P3. I thought that Aperture supported Raw format with this camera (at least according to Apple's own statements, it is supposed to be supported). But I loaded photos from my Olympus into Aperture and it just gave me a message that there were unsupported files and it did not import any of the raw files.
So, does Aperture 3 support Olympus Raw or not? I read in other places that people were having to manually tell Aperture to reprocess files and somehow that worked. But I thought Raw support meant that raw files would upload directly into Aperture.
What exactly does "raw support" mean if Aperture doesn't recognize Olympus ORF files?
Thanks.
Aperture 3.2.2
Yes I just updated all my software including Aperture Raw support

Looking at this page OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats the Olympus PEN E-P3 is show as supported by 10.7.2 so a few last things I can think to try:
One is to do the steps listed in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics. Doesn;t seem like this would be a library problem but you never know and the procedures don;t take much time.
Would be to create a new library and try to import a RAW file into that just to try and narrow down where the problem is.
Would be to create a new user on your system, log in as that user, run Aperture and try to import a RAW file for the same reason.
Would be to post RAW file on the net somewhere like dropbox so one of us could test it out on our systems to see if it behaves any differently.
Finally a call to Apple to find out whats going on.
good luck
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - One other thing I just thought of. Try to import using iPhoto (if you have it) or with Image Capture to try and narrow down the problem to Aperture or the Raw CAmera bundle

Raw support for Olympus OMD E-M10, When ?

I purchased a Olympus OMD E-M10 camera few weeks ago. Bad surprise when I loaded my shoots in Aperture ... Raw files not supoorted !
After the 5.05 update for raw compatibilty ... again a bad surprise ! The Olympus OMD E-M10 is not in the list of supported cameras :-(
When my E-M10 will be supported by Aperture ??????

This is always true when a new camera is introduced.
I own the OM-D10.
My work around is to shoot in Raw + JpegSF. Import both into Aperture and set Jpeg as master.
If I need to use the Raw, I go to Olympus View 3. So far the Jpeg's have been perfect for my use. Please note that you have to go to a sub-menu to activae JpegSF.
Another website compared using Adobe's Raw converter to Olympus View 3 converter for OM-D1 files. The Olympus conversion was far superior.
So I do want Aperture Raw support. However, I am not sure how much I will use it.

No Raw support for Olympus e620

Cant believe aperture 3 does not have raw support for the Olympus E620. I am nearly ready to upgrade. Can Apple get there act together on this.

Harass the company - go to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
select Aperture
and request support for the cameras that you use and want to be supported
Tell them you will have to migrate to LightRoom if they do not support the camera.
Now that Apple have moved to a new version of the Raw converter program they have little excuse for not adding these cameras.

Olympus OMD EM5 RAW support

I'm sure I'm being a bit premature but when could we possible see support for the Olympus OM-D EM-5? The camera is getting in the hands of the consumer (I now have one WOOHOO) and would love to have LR support it

The original thread was about raw support, and your first post out of the blue almost three years later, merely said "2 years and still nothing..." so a reasonable person might consider it an uncalled for troll post in itself, since it was an unspecific negative reply and clearly false in the context of the original thread it was replying to.
Now that you've explained a little more, the initial question could have been something more like "Why doesn't my Olympus OM-D E-M5 have selectable lens profiles after more than two years of its raws being supported?"
The answer to that is simple: The selectable lens profiles in your screenshot are for DSLRs not mirrorless cameras because mirrorless cameras have built-in lens support that is always on with no need to select a profile.
The reason lens support is built in for mirrorless cameras like your Olympus and not DSLRs is that mirrorless cameras have had lens corrections already applied on the fly by internal camera software before the image is shown on the LCD panel at the back of the camera and also applied to any JPGs the camera produces, so you never actually see the uncorrected image. Adobe products also apply this same lens profile to their onscreen and exported/saved output from LR and Photoshop so you never see the uncorrected version.
DSLRs have selectable profiles because there is an entirely optical path via mirrors and prisms from the lens to the viewfinder without any internal camera processing, so the photographer actually sees the uncorrected image, and as such Adobe products make the correction of it optional, with selectable lens profiles, that can be turned off in case the photographer meant their composition to be exactly what the optical viewfinder showed.
To help address the confusion about whether mirrorless cameras have lens profiles or not, Photoshop’s ACR 8.4 and newer will indicate lens support has been built in, but there wasn’t any UI change mid-version-stream in LR 5 to add this information. ACR 8.x is part of Adobe cloud releases that promises continuous development so it makes sense Adobe adds something to the UI as soon as it was available, whereas LR isn't a cloud product so users have to wait until a new payfor upgrade to have functionality changes, other than new camera support. One would hope that Adobe adds this information to LR 6 to avoid confusion.
Here is an example of the information that PS/ACR shows in the lens correction area for a built-in profile. This isn't your Olympus but the idea is the same:
For reference, here is what the uncorrected image looks like if you open it in a raw converter that doesn't have the lens profiles applied automatically, in this case raw analysis software, RawDigger:

RAW support for Olympus OMD EM5

Outfitting for a year long back pack trip. My MacBook Pro is going. Am in processof purchasing an Olympus OMD EM5 micro 4/3 camera for the trip. I use Aperture for photo processing. Any idea when or if Aperture will add support for developing the RAW shots from the EM5?
thnx

The usual interim approach for raw support has been to use Adobe's DNG converter to create DNGs that Aperture could read. This has always worked with the esception of non-Bayer sensors like the Foveon in Sigma cameras. But I can't get Aperure to read DNGs created from my E-M5's ORFs using DNG Converter v6.7 and have no idea where the problem lies.
It's taken Apple months to support Olympus cameras in the past, so I'm not optimistic.

RAW support for Olympus XZ-1?

With the Olympus XZ-1 quickly gaining ground as one of the most popular compact-enthusiast cameras, I'd think Apple would be very keen on getting RAW support for the camera into Aperture. We're going on six months since the camera's release, and still not there. Does anyone have any line, at all, as to if/when this is going to happen?

Keith Barkley wrote:
"much"? Considering that Canon and Nikon have a huge share of the market, it is unlikely that Apple lost very many customers because of this.
What I said was Historically Apple has lost much market share to Adobe Light Room through slow support for important cameras... That does include slow support for new cameras from Nikon and Canon. Why Apple gives up this market share must only be because no one has told Steve it is happening; some VP is not doing his/her job.

Olympus pen ep-1 raw support

Hi i just buy an olympus pen ep-1 , who seams to buy a very succesfull camera
i would like to know if it's exist a camera raw support for this camera at this time ?
and if not how long must we waiting for it ?
thanks for ur help

Strange. Hmm, well I don't know the answer then.
I suppose it's possible that when you set the backwards compatibility to DNG
1.1 or 1.2, you are getting linear DNGs created from the E-P1 files, and
that Aperture does not support reading linear DNGs.
In any case, I am reasonably confident that the DNGs produced by Camera Raw
5.5 RC and DNG Converter 5.5 RC from the E-P1 .ORF files are valid DNGs.
Hence there is not much that we can do.
I maintain that if you wish to resolve this, you need to follow up with
Apple.
Eric
Same thing happens when I set DNG Converter to use DNG 1.1S
Well, I guess I'll continue using Capture One for the 30 days of the trying
periodS After that, I'll have to shoot in JPG
Because if I have to wait for Apple, I'll wait for a long long timeS

LR 3.3 - Olympus E-5 Support for Raw-Format, Lens Correction Profiles for Zuiko Lenses

Ich wish strongly Olympus E-5 Support for Raw-Format for Ligtroom 3.3,... and i wait since ages for Lens Correction Profiles of Zuiko Lenses ;-)) There are plenty of Olympus users who yearn for that :-)
Will Release 3.3 support this?

Hi,
LR3.3 is released today, and it has support for Olympus E-5 added to it. Details of it can be found here;

IPhoto 09 RAW Support for Olympus E-30

Hi,
I already have an Olympus E-510 which is supported & recently got an E-30 body which doesn't appear to be supported by IPhoto.
Does anybody know when & if an update will be released to add the E-30 to the RAW compatibility list?
aTdHvAaNnKcSe

Keep an eye on the Raw compatibility list and hope the E-30 is added soon...
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Note: Camera compatibility is the same for iPhoto and Aperture.
Cheers,
Patrick
p.s. I believe the RAW support is in OS X rather than either application, so be sure to check the updates from Apple. I know I occasionally see updates for Raw support offered as a system download for OS X.

RAW support for Olympus OM-D E-M10 will it be updated?

I see support for most Olympus Cameras, but no support for the new OM-D E-M10. Anyone know how long it takes to get the RAW support updated?

Only Apple will know when updates will be released. If you want an educated guess, look at the support page for updates and downloads.
Apple - Support - Downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#digital%20raw%20compatibility%205.05
Recently, there have been new raw support releases for new cameras every one or two months.

Olympus E-M10 RAW support?

Anyone knows a way to get Aperture to recognize Olympus O-MD E-M10 RAW files?
For some reason Raw files apear like a black sqare...
Thank you.

What does this script do and why would I need to save and reimport them later with raw support?
The script modifies the exif tag CameraType2 to 'E-M1' on your photos and fools Aperture into believing your photos have been taken by the O-MD E-M1. This camera is supported, and so Aperture will use the camera specific settings for the OM1 to develope the RAW:

Olympus e-m1 RAW support ETA

Just wondering what the timeline might be for RAW support for my new Olympus OMD E-M1?

Wait and see - Apple never announces this in advance.

Olympus E-P1 RAW support?

Anybody have any idea how long it will take to get RAW support for the Olympus E-P1?

I've found that you can change E-P1 files so that Aperture will import them. Make backups of your files first, obviously.
Get hold of Hex Fiend (I'm a sucker for a silly name) http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/
In Hex Fiend open the E-P1 .ORF file you want to import
Hit Apple-F or Find... from the edit menu
In the top box put E-P1 (make sure the ASCII box not the Hex box is checked)
In the bottom box put E-30 (again, make sure the ASCII box not the Hex box is checked)
Press Next then press Replace, there's only one string that needs changing.
Close the search box.
Hit Apple-S or Save... from the file menu.
Voila. You can now import that raw file into Aperture.
Obviously that's not very useful because you don't want to be going through that rigmarole with loads of images. But at least it means you can compare the Aperture Raw conversion with other options. <Edited by Host>
