Pentax RAW Support

I thought the support list notes the RAW image file format for the Pentax K100D was supported, but when I import my images I get the "Unsupported Image Format" message. The list on Aperture's page is supposed to note cameras that are supported, with asterisked models getting "optimized support". Am I reading things wrong, or am I missing something? Only an amateur, but dealing with RAW files thru all the crazy workarounds is already old, and I haven't owned the camera for 1 month! Thoughts?

Based on my experience with newer Canon products still not being supported by Aperture I would suggest you find another way to manage your RAW files. It could be a very long time before Apple decides to support your camera.
Here's a freeware program that does a better job supporting new cameras than Apple -

You may want to try this out and see if it support Pentax.

  • Pentax K-3 Raw Support?

    Has anyone been able to get raw image processing with the new Pentax K-3? Thanks.

    Keep in mind that only Apple can say when or if a particular camera will be included in Raw support. No one here can say when that might happen.
    You can send feedback to Apple requesting support for the camera, see
    Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback
    Don;t know how much that helps but it can;t hurt.

  • RAW support for Pentax K3

    When will Aperture RAW support be updated for Pentax K3 be added?  It's already on Adobe Lightroom....!

    I my exeprience, I'd say when it's ready and not a moment sooner.
    Lightroom is always pretty quick off the mark with support, but sometimes that carries a quality cost, like happened with the Fuji X100 and X-Trans sensors. Lightroom's support came out first, but Aperture's came out better.
    I have a similar frustration having just bought a Sony A7. But I simply shoot raw+JPEG and use the JPEGs until the raw support is ready.
    A side benefit of this approach is it makes you get to know the camera settings a little better in order to make the best JPEG.
    If I have an emergency and really messed up a shot and need the raw to recover it, I use the raw converter supplied with the camera to make a better conversion in a TIFF and then add that to Aperture.

  • RAW support for Pentax istDS2

    Would like to buy aperature, but istDS2 not supported. Is this a possible solution? (from http://ok1000.blogspot.com/2006/06/waiting-for-aperture-and-iphoto.html)
    If you have OS 10.4.6 or later, but don't have support for your Pentax's .PEF format, the trick is to dig down to the .PLIST settings text file that Apple's RAW support looks into when opening RAW files, and to create a custom entry for your camera, such as the *ist DS. Brought to you by Karl Geiger from the Aperture Forums, with my special thanks to Peter Gnemmi, here's a recipe for getting your DS .PEFs into iPhoto and Aperture.
    Keen to try this, but don't want to screw up the application - suggestions?

    Why don't you post you question in the Aperture
    forum?
    As I understand it, recognizing the specific camera
    is part of the system recognizing this particular
    camera, which would then likely cover iPhoto as well
    as Aperature
    Thanks for the reply...new to this forum.

  • RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)

    Any idea when we will be able to see RAW support for Pentax K5 II(s)? I know I can use DNG, but not PEF currently. I am assuming for DNG, there is no dedicated camera profile yet.

    I figure:
    * Longer than I can hold my breath
    * Before the earth is swallowed up by the red giant of the sun.
    That said, nobody here knows the answer.  Hopefully it won't be too long.

  • Pentax *ist DL2 RAW Support

    Hi,
    I really really want to use Aperture, but Mac OS lacks support for my camera's RAW format. I have a Pentax *ist DL2, not a particularly new model, but the only DSLR I have, and thanks to my collection of Pentax lenses, im unlikely to change anytime soon.
    I have done some experiments with changing the RAW.plist file (as described on the ok! pentax! one thousand! blog) which works, but only if I convert my .PEF (Pentax RAW) files to DNGs first. In Leopard, the RAW.plist file no longer exists, so I had to try another approach - modifying the RAW files themselves and changing the identifier string from *ist DL2 to *ist DL.
    Since the DL and DL2 appear to use the same RAW format, it should be trivial. However, I can no longer justify the hassle of hexediting my RAW files just to get the program to see them.
    I know Joe Schorr said the team are ACTUELY aware of the need for supporting the newest cameras, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have support for my lowly old DL2???
    Cheers

    http://www.ok1000pentax.com/2006/06/waiting-for-aperture-and-iphoto.html
    Thats the blog entry I was on about. Seems the raw.plist does exist, but I dont want to have to convert to DNG.
    Please Joe Schorr, if you could help out us DL2 (and DS2) owners, we'd be very grateful

  • How to open PEF (pentax raw) in Bridge CS4

    Cannot open Pentax RAW files (PEF) in Bridge CS4. Any help is appreciated. Canon RAW does open.

    I don't see that listed, is it really new?  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS4 will only support camera raw in the 5.x series.  You either have to upgrade or convert images to DNG format.  THis is a free program from Adobe.

  • Pentax RAW file photos do not display correcty in LR

    Using Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.5
    Lightroom version 5.7, Raw 8.7
    Camera Pentax K7
    Lightroom does not seem to be able to display Pentax RAW files correctly. Colours are unnatural, muddy and lacking in yellow. Pictures are lacking detail and look muzzy. Preview displays RAW photos fine with correct colour cast and pictures are clear with plenty of detail. Photos processed from RAW to Jpeg using Pentax's digital camera utility, then imported to LR library display perfectly. LR doesn't seem to be able to handle Pentax RAW files, despite being listed as a supported file on Adobe list of compatible file types. Even iPhoto does a better job than LR.
    What;s going on Lightroom people? Do I have to manually activate some sort of plug-in?

    Thanks for all @your suggestions. Switching to Camera Standard does improve the accuracy of the colour balance image a bit. Further jiggling the colour Primarys & Saturations produces a much better result.
    As ssprengel suggested try setting your Penatx K7 to DNG raw file format, which will embed a custom camera profile that LR will use. If your results with LR's default camera calibration settings (i.e. 0) are still unsatisfactory I suggest calibrating (or recalibrating) your display with an i1 Display or Spyder hardware device. I wouldn't even attempt to make fine adjustments to image files on a system with an uncalibrated display–You simply will be "misadjusting" the image to correct for display errors.
    For best results the display should be hardware calibrated to create a monitor profile with 6500 K Color Temperature, 2.2 Gamma, and 120 cd/m2 Luminance. If you've already done this try recalibrating the display using the above suggested settings.
    If your results still look "off-target" after hardware calibration I would suggest investing in a ColorChecker Passport and use it's LR Plugin application to create a custom camera profile. You'll will still need to measure and adjust the LR White Balance (WB) settings, which can be easily done using the ColorChecker Passport neutral patches or its White Balance target.

    As to the muzzy quality of the PEF images v the Jpegs. Even at 100% zoom there is a difference, but I'm now pretty sure that it's due mostly to the camera software sharpening the images when converting from to original PEF to Jpeg. (as suggested by ssprengel in his answer). I have not yet been able to replicate this effect exactly in LR, but I can see that it would be possible to improve this with perseverance.
    LR's Detail panel Sharpening controls will allow you to set whatever capture sharpening level you desire. Good tutorial here on using the ALT/Option key with LR's Sharpening controls:

    Wow. I just installed the universal version of this update and now my iMac won't boot. How swell... It sits at the white screen.
    I can hold down the power button and turn it off and on, but that's it. I've tried booting from CD by holding down C and zapping the PRAM and it still just sits at that white screen. I've unplugged it and am going to leave it for about 15 minutes and see if that does it.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Opening Pentax Raw files

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto 5.0.4 on a iMac G5 running OSX 10.4.10. The system has 1 gb of ram.
    Can not seem to open the pentax raw format in iPhoto 5. I tried to update the program with the October 06 update for raw files, which included pentax, but it gage the error message that I must have OSX 10.8.
    Any ideas/
    Also, I am wondering if anyone is also runninga iMac G5 1.8 PPC and has had success with iMovie in iLife '08. The minimum specs say I need a 1.9 processor, which is close...

    Your camera is not supported by any version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) that will work with CS4.  You will never be able to open those files directly in CS4, as there will be no further ACR updates for CS4, ever.
    You have two choices:
    1.-- Upgrade to CS6; or
    2.-- Download the latest version (at least 7.1) of the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter and convert all your raw NEF files to raw DNG files which you can then open in CS4.

  • Panasonic FZ8 raw support

    The Panasonic DMC-FZ8 is a very capable compact bridge camera, with full manual control and some features you don't even find in most DSLRs. Raw support within LR would be welcome.
    Thanks for listening

    Any new camera will get added. But the addition will come in sync with ACR updates and one mainly just has to wait for it.

  • Canon T2i / 550d raw support?

    I just bought Aperture 3 to use with my new camera, and was disappointed to find out that there is no raw support. (I get "unsupported format" when I import the images either directly from the camera or from file)
    Does anyone know if Apple is working on a raw support update for the T2i, and in what sort of timeframe I can expect it?

  • EXPRESS: Why no raw support in Photoshop express from Revel?

    We just got back from a trip to Disneyland and I shot over 800 photos in raw format on my Canon camera. I uploaded the images using my iPad to Revel each night and tonight I am home and I opened Photoshop Express so I could send some photos to Walgreens and I see thumbnails of my images from Revel in PSE but when I try to open one, I get an error that Photoshop Express cannot open this file. I dug around some before I found a message from Patti on the forums that says that PSE does not support Raw Files. Come on guys, I am a premium subscriber and I have Raw support in Revel and yet PSE which has more editing options won't support the files. I wanted to tweak some and upload to walgreens to print and it's easier to do it from PSE than to have to use the camera roll and then Walgreens app. I also wanted to upload some to to Flickr which PSE support and Revel used to support but no longer does. What is going on Adobe? Why are all the cloud products so fragmented? I'm starting to consider just storing images on my NAS and using other apps to accomplish the tasks from my iPad because your cloud services are not making this easier.

    But InDesign has it as well and I think this is like the craziest omission I can think of and they have made some serious ones in the past.
    Hopefully the next version all the apps will have it and that in case there are any problems it will be done in the way so that it will not cause any unforeseen difficulties.
    thanks for the answer David. Good you can find a little time to visit here as with this thread we all guess and you know better.
