RAW File Support for editing in external editors

Is there some way to make A3 to allow me to pass the RAW file to an external editor and then pass it back with all the non destructive changes made?
Basically A3 -> CaptureNX2 -> A3 with file changes?
I love the interface for A3 and the ease of workflow to do other things with my images. However not being able to have my all RAW workflow (which i use currently) is a deal breaker....

I spent some trying Catapult this evening. It needs some work:
1. It requires you to use Aperture 3 in 32 bit mode.
2. First attempt to import resulted in both the plug-in and Aperture 3 spinning their wheels indefinitely. I had to shut down Aperature and restart.
3. Second attempt wasn't working well because the plug-in created a new set of drop and pick up directories, but was not looking in the right places.
4. I deleted both sets of directories and created tried a third time. Interestingly, the third attempt did not create the directories, so I had to manually create them. The import process caused Aperture 3 to crash.
I've sent email asking the developer if they will be updating to 64 bit and testing with Aperture 3 anytime soon...

  • Raw file support for HS50EXR in LR4

    When will raw file support for the new Fuji HS50EXR camera be added to Lightroom 4?
    I noticed the the other fuji cameras from the HS/EXR range are supprted but the new HS50EXR has not been added as yet...can i hope that raw file support for the new Fuji HS50EXR camera will be added real soon?...please!

    I suspect it might have been released a bit late for the next camera update version, it really depends on how soon Adobe get their hands on a camera.

  • Aperture 2 no longer supports iPhoto "edit in external editor"

    I've ordered Aperture 2.0, but I'm still using the demo.
    iPhoto 2008 Help says I can use Aperture as an external editor.
    I just tried. Aperture opens, but the image does not appear.
    I suspect this functionality broke in either Aperture or iPhoto.
    Anyone else test this? I'll probably submit a bug report for iPhoto on this.

    Aperture has never worked as an external editor for iPhoto, and I could not see anywhere in the iPhoto help where it says it does.
    Here's the text from the Help file (emphasis mine):
    "Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
    When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in one of four ways: in the same window, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application..
    Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
    In main window: Opens the photo in edit view in the main viewing area.
    In separate window: Opens the photo in edit view in a separate window.
    Using full screen: Opens the photo in full-screen edit view.
    In application: Opens the photo in another application you choose, such as Aperture or Photoshop."
    Anyway, thanks for confirming that it really doesn't work now. Probably it never did, there was just an error in the documentation.

  • Epson raw file support for Aperature

    does aperature support epson raw file? .ERF?

    I just purchased Aperture last night (at the new Apple Store on 5th Ave.).
    I have been using the Epson R-D1 for a year and have a few thousand ERF (Epson Raw Files). Converting ERF to editable files in PS has been slow indeed. I was hoping Aperture would liberate me from this.
    SORRY TO REPORT, "APERTURE" DOES NOT RECOGNIZE "ERF" FILES.
    Regrettably, I did not do my homework. Fortunately, my son will be able to use Aperture with his Nikon D100.
    I found this post in my search to see if anyone has had any better luck... if there are plug-ins, work arounds, Apple support, etc.
    Anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Raw file support for D600

    I cannot open raw files for new D600 in CS5

    The D600 has only been out less than a week.
    None of the camera manufacturers share the details of their formats , ex NEF, CR2 etc.
    Each single model has a slightly different version of their proprietary file formats. So the NEF from a D600 is different from the NEF of the D700, D4, D800 and so on. The same with Canon, Sony,  etc.
    It takes time for Adobe to reverse engineer the NEF for the D600. They usually release new versions of ACR that support the newest cameras every 3-4 months.
    Until then you can download the latest DNG converter and convert your NEF to DNG that can then be read by any version of ACR.
    For Mac:   http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388
    For Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389
    But be aware that the newest version of ACR when it is released will only work with CS6
    If you have CS5 or earlier, you need to continue with the DNG workaround or upgade to CS6.
    You could also get Lightroom which is cheaper. But neither PS or Lightroom can directly open the D600 at this moment. Patience grasshopper!

  • Raw file support for Canon S50

    Apparently Aperture/Mac OS X does not support this format out of the box (but does support the S60 & S70).
    1) Any way to trick it into understanding those files ?
    2) If there is no way to solve (1), what is the best workflow for working with those files ?
    Right now I import into Lightroom and then export as TIFF 16 bits followed by in import in Aperture. But they are no longer considered "RAW". If I export the files to DNG in Lightroom, Aperture only sees the thumbnail part and the photos have a ridiculously low resolution.
    Any tips ?

  • Sony cameras A7 raw files support?

    looking for Sony A7 raw files support for i-photo.

    1. Well that's not actually true. There is frequently a lag between the release of the camera and Adobe offering Raw support. They are often faster to add it, true, but they do not "always" get converters out before the camera hits the market.
    2. I'm not really sure just what this proves, of course. How often do you change cameras?

  • "edit in external editor" doesn't work for me

    Hello,
    I am having trouble getting iPhoto to allow me to edit in an external editor.
    I went to preferences and chose Photoshop CS3 as my external editor and I set my "double clicks photo" to "edits photos", but when I try to right click and "edit in external editor" I click on it but nothing happens.
    I also tried leaving PS CS3 open but still nothing happens.
    Also, when I try to double click to edit the photo, nothing happens either. Even if I set iPhoto to "edit in main window" it doesn't go to edit mode by double clicking.
    I'm not really sure what the problem is, so if somebody can help me understand this, that would be great.

    yurickim:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. If that doesn't help log into another account and try there. If you don't have a second account create one as it's a great troubleshooting too. It it works in the second account there's something amiss with your current account. It could be a bad preference file, other than iPhoto's, that could be causing the problem. Here's how to verify if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
    4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    5 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
    6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • "Edit in External Editor" PSE 13

    I've recently upgraded Photoshop Elements to version 13.0.  In iPhoto (9.5.1) I have set the preferences to Edit Photos: in Photoshop Elements (the 13 icon.
    Now from a control-click "edit in external editor" selection the action opens PSE13, but no photo is transferred for editing as was the case in the earlier version. Is this no longer supported - or have I missed a set-up step?

    If PSE13 is installed similar to PSE 10 look for a folder inside the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 folder called Support Files and select Adobe Photoshope Elements Editor.app.
    FWIW the following may be of help in using PSE as the external editor with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

  • Iphoto file does not open in external editor

    I have selected Photoshop Elements as my external editor in iPhoto.  When I select a picture file and click 'edit',  Photoshop Elements working space opens but the picture does not appear.  (Same with Silkypix, the Lumix Raw editor).   This is a new bad habit that came with Mavericks.
    I can fit both working spaces on the screen and drag the photo into Photoshop Elements, but I should not have to do that.

    Which version of Photoshop Elements and iPhoto do you have?  The newest version, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
    Other than the previous versions of Elements, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 installs the editor directly at the top-level of the Applications folder, so there are no longer any nested folders to select the editor application from.
    But there is a weird glitch, when I try to use it as an external editor in iPhoto.
    When I select a photo in iPhoto 9.5.1 and ctrl-click it and use the command "Edit in External Editor" from that panel, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 opens with an empty window, like you reported.
    This does not work: Elements launches on an empty window:
    But when I use the "Edit" button in the footer of the iPhoto window and double click it, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 will open with the photo in the Editor window.
    This does work:
    So, for the time being, use the Edit button to launch your external editor, if you are also using iPhoto 9.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4.

  • Aperture - Edit with External Editor - Photoshop

    Hi,
    I recently made my first attempt via Aperture to "Edit with External Editor" and in my case I have the preferences set to export to Photoshop CS4 Extended. The External Editor File Format (in preferences) selected is TIFF and as advised by Apple's Help menu this is set at 16-bit. The External Editor Color Spaces is set to Adobe-RGB (1998).
    I selected an image with some barrel distortion, hit the export button, and Aperture sent the new master to Photoshop. I did my fixing and saved. This automatically sends the updated file to Aperture. This is very handy and practical but I was shocked to see the size of the new and fixed file. The original file was a JPEG at 4MB and the new fixed file was a colossal 200+ MB file. I ended up throwing away the new file - too large.
    I am just wondering if this is normal? This is my first time using the Edit with External Editor in Aperture and I am also quite clueless about using Photoshop efficiently and properly. Could I have done something differently and received the new and fixed file at a smaller size?
    Thanks for your advice and help.

    This is normal.
    TIFF files get rather large and the 200 MB sounds about right. If I send a 1.63 MB JPEG at the same settings in PS CS5, I get a 134 MB TIFF after applying the Lens Correction filter and saving.
    If I send the same file as a TIFF 8-bit in Adobe-RGB (1998), I get back a 54.73 MB file.
    You could therefore send as an 8-bit TIFF to reduce the size. Additionally, the PSD format tends to return a slightly smaller file size (51.xx MB in the case here).
    A JPEG file is actually only an 8-bit file, so it isn't really necessary to go to 16-bit, but many users like to protect against further degradation of the JPEG when editing externally (especially from posterization where smooth gradients - such as a sky - start to break down into visible steps in the color transition).
    I personally send as TIFF 8-bit in the sRGB color space and if the image shows degradation, then I might change to the TIFF 16-bit (or simply not use that image).

  • IPhoto '11 duplicates when editing in external editor

    What the topic says. iPhoto automatically creates a duplicate, that actually shows up as a duplicate in the library, when you choose to edit a photo in an external editor (such as Photoshop). It used to just replace the original, thus showing only the edited version (though keeping the original file if you want to go back to it), which is exactly what happens if you choose to just edit in iPhoto.
    Bug? Feature?

    Same problem. I edit in external editor (PSE) and an edited copy shows up as well as the original. I highlite the edited copy and try to revert to original and nothing happens. I send the edited copy to the trash and empty the trash, highlite the original again and choose edit in external editor and the edited version pops up again as if I had never trashed it.
    Another annoying issue: I really don't want to mess around with slide shows but am forced to if I want to look at a photo in full screen view. iPhoto 09, full screen view meant, highlite a photo, full screen view, photo shows up in full screen. Simple and exactly what I want. Now full screen simply means the left column disappears and I'm looking at a full screen of thumb nails. What good is that? OK, so I'll play that game. Select slide show, window pops up the first time asking for slide show settings. Select classic instead of disolve and check that as the default. Every single event that window pops up asking me for slide show settings even though I have selected my defaults. I have something like 850 events and I got very annoyed selecting classic as my default every single time. And why do they imagine I want to listen to music? I clone mt hard drive once a week and have a copy of my drive with iPhoto 09 on it. I'm going back to 09.
