RAW file rendering problems with Pentax-k5

Since a few weeks I have serious problems with the raw rendering in aperture 3.4. I have done everything to solve this problem, but until now without succes. I have upgrade with mountain lion OS X 10.8.2 and I use the latest version of aperture 3.4.3 RAW 402 build 672.6.
Does anyone have this problem to? Or do you know how to solve this problem?
Regards
Jan K.

Jan,
that may be the same problem as discussed in this thread. Do you use in-camera settings to enhance your pictures? these will not be captured in the raw processing that Aperture does, but the pentax software understands the in-camera settings:

Raw file rendering problems with Canon EOS 5D in Aperture 3

Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I have had serious problems with the rendering of Canon EOS 5D (not Mark II/III) RAW files. With Aperture 2, both the preview and full-sized images looked basically the same as the original images as displayed on the camera's display, without any adjustments.
With Aperture 3, each preview images initially look fine after import, but when Aperture re-renders it from the RAW file (e.g. when displaying the full-size image), the colors are drastically intensified, and the hue is shifted generally towards green/blue. I've checked the RAW Fine Tuning, and it is set to the defaults. If I turn the default RAW Fine Tuning settings all the way down, the image is still not at all like the preview from the camera - it becomes much darker and stays too blue/green, with washed-out colors.
A friend with a Canon EOS 5D MkII also recently upgraded her Mac from Aperture 2 to 3, and hasn't experienced any problems. We've tried importing RAW files from my (non-MkII) camera to her Mac (with the default RAW Fine Tuning settings), and get the same results as with my own Mac (i.e. strange colors), so the problem seems to be related to the camera model.
I've also noticed that scanned greyscale tiff images (including images that were originally imported under Aperture 2) are changed when first displayed by Aperture 3 - they become darker and more contrasty, with lots of information lost in the shadow areas.
I've also tried removing Aperture preferences, Aperture itself, and re-installing from download, with no change in the problem. (Aperture is the current latest version, 3.3.2.)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I'm having the same problem.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.3.2. Workflow is importing through Canon's DPP and then using referenced images in Aperture. The images look great in LR4, or Canon's DPP but are flat and dingy in Aperture.
There's a free preset that goes part way to fixing it at http://theapertureblog.com/2011/02/10/my-aperture-workflow-for-working-with-cano n-5d-mark-ii-files/
but as good as this fix is, it doesn't quite do the trick. [not being a hater, and not saying I can do better]
I just got back from shoooting 1,500 images with a 5DMii and a T2i using Canon 24-105L IS, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.8 and a Sigma 120-400 and the T2i images are not just better, they're in a different league.
I've tried shooting in Faithful, Neutral and also toggling these presets in different ways and still can't get Aperture to match what I see on the camera's screen or in other Apps. I love the interface and DB of Aperture, but what's the point of using it if it doesn't produce and awesome image in the end?

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:

Open the same raw file in PS5 with two different White Balance settings

I'm trying to open the same Raw File in PS5 with two different White Balance settings. One setting "as shot" the other in "daylight", then blend them. The tutorial I'm watching says to "stack" the images. The tutorial shows one White Balance setting as the "Background" layer and the other setting as "Layer 1". I don't know how to do this and the tutorial is not specific. Can anyone either point me to a step by step instruction or offer some assistance?

Also look at the "Snapshots" feature of Camera Raw itself. It allows you non-destructively to keep multiple sets of settings for a single raw file.
Learning about it far exceeds the scope of what can be done in this particular forum. I would recommend this book as essential reading:

File sharing problems with my Media Player, an A C Ryan

I have a media player, an A C Ryan, hooked up to my wifi at home and it normally accesses all my hard disks that is plugged and shared on my iMac. I had no problems when the iMac was on Snow Leopard. Under Network/Workgroup in the AC Ryan's menu, I can see and access all the files on the hard disks.
The moment I upgraded to Lion, all such access was lost. The AC Ryan cannot connect to the hard disks any more via the wifi network. it's as though file sharing has stopped completely. I checked the file sharing settings on the iMac and nothing has changed i.e. the disks were shared as usual. After struggling with many possible solutions and failing (I checked out a lot of forums), I reintalled Snow Leopard and the problems were immediately solved.
Is there something seriously wrong with Lion's file-sharing? Has this been fixed in 10.7.2? My friend who has a similar setup (his media player is the WD Live) has exactly the same file sharing problem with Lion.
I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I believe that NTFS-3G has issues with Lion.
I use Paragon NTFS and have had no issues at all. I am pretty sure that NTFS-3G will get updated, but you need to check their site to find out when.

HT1338 My fuji x100s has RAW file compatibility issue with OS 10.8.2

My fuji x100s has RAW file compatibility issue with OS 10.8.2, my iphoto11 cannot recognise the file format. Anyone know of this issue too? Appreciate if anyone can offer some helps. Thanks

Correct. The Fuji X-100s is not currently supported by iPhoto or Aperture (or the RAW converter in OS X itself). You can submit feedback via iPhoto and request this.

Pentax K-x RAW color shift problem with Aperture 3

I have seen a few posts similar to what my problem is but not exactly.I have two Pentax K-200D's and a new Pentax K-x. I shoot RAW with all of them and the K-200D's work great. The RAW files however from the K-x are doing something strange. Sometimes (more and more though) the files are being imported into Aperture and there is a radical color shift after they finish loading. ALL of the preview thumbnails look fine in the camera and the Aperture import window. However, after importing them and processing is complete, some of the shots have a magenta color shift, but most that have this problem shift radically to a green tint. Everybody looks like they are in "The Matrix."
I do not have any brightness correction on the camera turned on as other posts imply might be the problem. I have also remove the Aperture RAW 3.2 and tried 3.0 and 3.1 with no solution. 3.0 doesn't recognize the files at all and 3.1 does the same thing as 3.2. Here are two examples of UNEDITED RAW files:
Frame that looks fine in RAW
http://gallery.me.com/mattcline#100470/IMGP5982&bgcolor=black
The next frame taken with the same settings on the camera:
http://gallery.me.com/mattcline#100470/IMGP5983&bgcolor=black
I do have one possible pattern. I had the camera set on rapid fire capture. It appears to me that the first frame I take when the shutter button is depressed looks and translates fine. All the subsequent frames take in rapid fire under the same shutter release have the green shift when taking shots in relative shade. Things taken in bright sunlight have the magenta shift.
Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix this?
Thanks.

I just downloaded Apple's RAW 3.3 and it still made no difference.
Going back over the files, I found that going back and forth between the two, see no difference in the RAW processing headings. I did see however that in the meta data that the two pictures I have in the example of those listed above have one difference. There is a setting on the Exposure Bias for the one that was fine was -0.3 ev and the one that has the green contrast blast has an Exposure Bias of 0.3 ev. So the one that looks right is slightly negative. Doesn't seem like that should be a big difference, but apparently it is.
I did take some pictures with the RAW+JPG setting and I had the same problem with the RAW files. Some were ok, some were green, others were magenta shifted. However, all the JPG files looked just fine.
Switching from Aperture isn;t really an option for me. I have been using it for a long time and it generally works very well...perfectly with my K-200D's. It's just some bug with the RAW decoder for the K-x.
It's a known bug and I have been in touch with Apple staff over it, including engineers. It's not just the K-x. Other brands (Canon) and models suffer from the RAW processor gone wrong.
Right now there is no fix. At the pace Apple works at, there may not be one for quite some time. Use JPEG, use iPhoto, or move to Lightroom.
Another suggestion is to phone customer service and complain that their "Pro" program is not working as expected. I spent hours with an engineer going over the issue including a screen share session, only to be told to use JPEG.

Corruption of RAW files / rendering preview

I have recently imported many RAW files that I took at an event. The problem is that whilst many of the photos look great, approx a third initially look good but then a 'rendering preview' message comes up - once the message has disappeared the photo's change and end up looking awful!!!
Without meaning to sound ungrateful, before anyone gives the standard role-out answer, I am very aware that RAW files do not contain camera settings etc etc and that the image that comes up instantly is a jpeg until it has finished rendering etc etc. The point being that all photos were taken on the same camera, in the same situation, on the same card and dowloaded at the same time.
Why are only some of the shots coming up with the 'rendering preview' message? The majority render instantly and look great!!
Why do they look so bad. The best way I can describe the way they look is:
very little dynamic range
high contrast
too much gamma
blown highlights
very poor quality
cold
Thanks in advance

Hi Guy,
Having the same problem and discussion here:
http://www.dppro.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=14&thread_id=144&pid=841#post_841
I've checked my "edit/Preferences" and on the Pre-sets Tab my auto tone box is not checked. I don't think it's that but it's at least a helpful suggestion.
You ask" Why are only some of the shots coming up with the 'rendering preview' message? The majority render instantly and look great!! "
it will be the amount of cache/virtual memory you have set aside for Lightroom. The previews will be generated up to the cache limit and then only on demand. Click on one of the unaffected previews and I'll wager that goes south too :o(
I think it's a bug. Your comment about expecting people to say RAW files don't have camera settings. I think that's off the mark. My understanding was that RAW files didn't compress any in camera tweaks irreversibly. It makes no sense for new DSLR's to have all these fancy features if the optimum file format chooses to ignore them. Why bother to put them on Pro spec cameras if they can only be used on Jpeg files? i could be wrong but I'm there's just no point in having all the settings in camera if any serious enthusiast/Pro looking to get the best from their investment has to put hours in on the PC because the premium file option ignores their in camera effort. I though RAW was about options and being able to change your mind. Like I say i could be wrong but I think it's a bug.
I had to upgrade to v 1.3 so I could get the software to read my D300's RAW files. I'm sure an earlier version of lightroom used to pull this stunt too but I'm sure my Fuji S3 files were not...abused... in this way by v1.2.
I'll watch this thread with interest. I hope it works out favourably.

Camera RAW / Bridge CC problem with Exposure in Mac OS X 10.9 Maverics

Recently I purchased MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 Maverics and I have a problem as described below while working in Bridge CC:
If I open Canon RAW files (.CR2) in Photoshop by double-clicking the file (or File > Open With > Adobe Photoshop CC), Photoshop starts and a Camera RAW windows opens. If I set the Exposure value from -0.95 to 0.95 and choose Open Image or Done, a .XMP file is created, but the value of Exposure is NOT SAVED (Exposure value is still 0). If I set the Exposure to -1.00 (or less) or +1.00 (or more), it is SAVED.
On the other way if I open any RAW file just in Camera RAW (File > Open In Camera Raw) everything works fine: any changes of Exposure are saved in .XMP files.
Please note that I have all updates of Adobe and Apple software are installed.
Anyone can help?

Can't check with Mavericks because I'm still on 10.8.5, however I can't say I heard this behavior before.
Can you select a file that is changed with -0.95 but does not show the result and with right mouse click menu choose purge cache for selection, does that make a difference?
What version of Camera Raw are you using and What Canon are you using.

LR5.2 Destroys raw-files if working with network drives

I have a serious bug with LR5.2: It destroys my raw files CR2 (Canon ESO 60d) if I work with my local network drive. All my pictures are stored on this network drive. If I try to import from sd card or local drive new pictures and copy/move them via import or synchornize to my network drive the files are corrupted. I also can't open them with other sw-programms like DPP from Canon. The original files on the sd card are okay. Even if I copy the files via explorer to the network drive I can open them with for ex. DPP, but after I imported them into LR5.2 the files are corrupted and I can't open them with DPP again.

LeeScoresby wrote:

Lr doesn't write CR2 files, except if moving/copying, and then only via call to operating system. If your raw files are going bad, you probably have a system/hardware problem.

WLP10.2 rendering problem with FF3.5.3

Hi,
We are building a portal using the WLP10.2. We are facing problems with FF3.5.3. It doesnt render the page immediately. On refreshing the page for 5-6 times we get to see the page rendering. We have even tried debugging the issue by installing firebug. In firebugs console it shows the files being loaded. It loads till the .../framework/scripts/bea/wlp/context/Other.js and stops loading the page from there. After clearing the browser cache and refreshing 5-6 times, the site than loads up. By the way we are even using jQuery to render certain UI like tabs, accordian being used in the page.
Anyone, if you have encountered such a problem. Please let me know what was the workaround you people tried.
Regards,
Subrahmanyam.D

Are you using the DVT (dynamic visitor tools)? Is this a production mode or development mode deployment? I assume that DISC is enabled because you watched DISC modules loading.
Is there an error message in the firebug console?
I saw something that may be similar: the DVT would stop during some of its initialization code. It is client-side code that was calling some dojo module initialization code.

This is a bit of a pain and I don't know how it'll work if you ever have a circular reference - i.e. a Premiere Project links to AE which in turn links to Premiere. I don't know how the media encoder will cope with that.
Circular references are not supported currently, so you need to structure your workflow accordingly. This is however a popular request, so chances are good it will come in one of the next versions.

2) For some reason, rendering out of an AE comp that dynamically links to a Premiere project with an MTS file in it is _much_ faster than rendering an AE comp that directly references the MTS file. On the footage I tested it with, a 30 second MTS file was suggesting 1 hour 30 minutes to render when AE reads the MTS file directly, but less than 9 minutes when using the dynamic linking. Go figure?!?
Premiere can handle suchg streams without conforming them,i.e. it does not need to decompress frames and blow them up to full RGB. And of course, being aimed at RT playback, it surely is even more optimized.

3) The Media Encoder that is now used by Premiere can render out to FLV using a 2 pass encoding but rendering out of AE only offers 1 pass. I don't know why this limitation would exist? Usually the two pass encoder is much better but I don't understand why it would be available in Media Encoder but not AE.
AE does not support temporal compression natively. The various media format savers try to circumvent that, but neither of them can hold an entire composition timeline in memory or temporarily store the result of the first analysis on disk, which is what would be required for 2-pass VBR. One of these days, maybe...

.MSG files. Problem with getting requested values from crawled properites

Hi
I have a lot of msg files on my file server. I use SharePoint Enterprise Serach engine to crawl all these MSGs.
I would like to get extra managed properties out of these files. I am most interested in getting Mail:5(text) / Mail:12(Date and Time) / Mail:53(Date and Time) from MAIL category in Managed Properties.
This thread is very similar to one already posted by SpinnerUp:

Please be aware that I do not use Public Folders. These MSGs are exproted from Outlook and are stored on File Server not Exchange.
I tried to link Crawled Properties to new property however I cannot get any results back.
Thank you for you help.
Regards, Marcin (Please mark as helpful or answered if it helps)

Thank you for your replay.
However I am not keen to write custom connector at this stage.
Is it possible to simply get "Subject", "Sent", "Received" info from msg file and then map it to managed properties.
Does SharePoint create any crawled properties which contain information about let's say "Subject" which then can be used to create managed properties?
I tried playing with "MAIL" properties however I cannot get them to work. I guess this is because the file is a msg file rather than mail which is stored in Exchange Public Folder.

Sender file Adapter, problem with proxy authentication

HI all,
i'm having some problems with the following scenario, i need to configure a sender file adapter which connects to a FTP server. To connect this FTP server i need to set a proxy (and so a username and a password), and i don't know how to do.
From note 821267 seems that the proxy is not supported for an FTP adapter, but the are some workaround like the ones described in the following link
Re: Proxy server inFTP adapter
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57137
They don't work in my case as i need to se two username (the one for proxy and the one for the ftp server) and i cannot force the proxy use for all XI applications.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot
Aldo

Proxy is necessary to exit the customer local intranet. It's not possible to go outside network without going through the proxy server.
I cannot set the proxy server in file adapter as it's not supported like described in SAp note, a possible workarounf is to force the proxy server in the J2ee stack but in this way all PI calls would use that proxy..

RAW files in Photos with iOS 8

Has anyone found a solution to the way iOS 8 has slowed down the rendering of RAW files in Photos? This used to be one of the main ways in which I used my iPad and on photo shoots it was very impressive. Now I cannot use it to any effect. I've tried rebooting the iPad and closing apps, and while this initially improved it a bit, it is still not smooth as it was before iOS 8.

The documentation for Photos does not explain at all, how RAW files are rendered in Photos.
In iOS 7 it was documented, that RAW files were not rendered at all. iPhoto and Photos simply edited the embedded JPEG from the RAW file. And I strongly suspect, that that is still what happens. Have you changed the settings in your camera to a different RAW compression and are now using a different RAW format than previously?
