RAW files seem to be incompatible with my Mac - why?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which works fine with RAW files imported from my camera. Why is it my new iMac can't seem to handle RAW files. I have downloaded the latest software, but still says they are incompatible. Suggestions anyone?

It really depends on what the format the raw images the camera produces. If it isn't a .jpg right from the camera, it may require you to download Nikons Software to convert the images before Aperture can handle the Raw Images.
Not being familiar with Aperture I am not sure what this software can handle. I am pretty sure that the software should be able to handle any photo thrown it's way.
Cheers

Try installing it manually from:

I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera. I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter. I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?

This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added]

After I edit a raw file in Lightroom 5 and with raw 8.5, the edited files revert back to being unedited. Any ideas?

I edit them in Lightroom. Then the little symbol appears in the bottom of the thumbnail in the film strip at the bottom of the LR screen. Then, a few minutes later, the symbol is gone. I then click on one or more of the thumbnails and the image opens in the main screen. However, all of the sliders on the right are at their defaults, and the image is back in its unedited state. Last night, for a while, the edits reappeared, but tonight they were gone again. I just recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.5. I wonder if that is the problem.
What little symbol? Do you mean the up-arrow symbol that appears top-right of grid or film strip images? This indicates that the image has been edited by another program.
Or do you mean the "+/-" symbol that appears bottom right?. This appears after editing, but if it disappears subsequently without you doing anything, it sounds like something nasty is happening to the catalogue or image xmp file on disk.
Lightroom doesn't use ACR (8.5 or any other version) - it has the same functions built-in. ACR is used only by Photoshop. Are you opening the images in ACR in Photoshop?

Can't import Canon S 50 Raw Files to PSE 4.0.1 in Mac 10.5.2

Help. I'm transitioning from OS9.1 to 10.5.2. I brought my Firewire card reader and several CF cards of RAW CRW images from my Canon S 50 to the Apple store 2 months ago and was able to open them in PSE 4. Based on this I purchased an Aluminum 24" imac, put in 4GB of RAM and ordered Photoshop Elements 4. Reading the Adobe forums, two things were advised: upgrade to 4.0.1 and upgrade the RAW converter to v4.3.1. I did both and am unable to import the RAW CRW files from my Canon via CF card. They appear in Bridge, but do not open in Elements 4.0.1 . Have I done something wrong? My goal is to archive the files, but also convert them to DNG. Is the 4.3.1 upgrade wrong for these first generation Canon RAW files? I've scanned the archive prior to posting, and have posted to the PS Elements site. They suggested I ask advice here, as I've followed there upgrade advice and it didn't work. Thanks in advance. Paul

The download did say it is for Photoshop Elements 4. That is what has me so confused. I can't find where Adobe lists what specific Camera RAW files each upgrade will work with. I'm wondering if I should have stayed with the original PSE 4 RAW converter rather than doing the upgrade? If I do go back, will the older DNG conversion still work with more modern software in the future? I just purchased Elements4 for Mac because I tested it at the Apple store and it worked in OS 10.5.1. I hope the 10.5.2 upgrade didn't mess things up? My wife will kill me if I can't produce images of our new grand nephew. We saw him 23 minutes after he was born last month in California! She wants the photos NOW.

How do I get Photoshop to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5 for Mac 10.91.

How do I get Photoshop CS4 to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5. I have a Mac 10.91.operating system and have tried downloading and installing Camera_Raw_5_2.dmg, which has failed to do the trick.

Thanks Pierre, I have converted the .rwl files to .dng, but CS4 says it does not recognise them. What now? Or is Mylenium correct?

Hello, you should download the latest DNG converter: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
I suggest to contact Leica and ask them why they do not use the DNg format on that camera, as they do on their more costly models.

How to open more than one RAW-File by drag&drop/doubleclick with CS2?

Hello,
is it possible to open more than one RAW-file from iPhoto with Photoshop's RAW-converter in just one single step? If I drag&drop my selection to my Photoshop-Icon, PS opens just the iPhoto-created library-JPGs of the RAW-files but not the RAWs itself (I've turned out the copyying of the imported photos to the iPhoto-library. Instead iPhoto seems to create a JPG for the library from every RAW I import). If I doubleclick a selection of RAWs in iPhoto just the doubleclicked RAW-File will be opened in Photoshop. Is it possible to select more than one RAW-file in iPhoto and get Photoshop to open all the selected RAWs but not the JPGs? It would make my work a lot easier... thank you.
rockenbaby

hello
try selecting the photos that you want however many- go, File then Export.
you can make all your file selections image size etc and then save them direct to your PS file.
hope this helps.

I am having issues when I shoot raw + jpeg. Raw files seem corrupt!!

I am having issues when I shoot raw + jpeg. It seems the raw files get corrupted. I have shot raw without an issue. It is only when I shoot raw + jpeg. The raw files will not show in Photoshop elements. I installed the Canon software and was able to see all the raw files; however, I noticed that when I tried to view some full screen they would not show. I also noticed that these raw files look block-ish. They appear more digital looking. Is there a specail card needed to shoot raw + jpeg? I formatted the ones that I have prior to using them.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While it could certainly be a card-reader problem, data corruption of any kind can be any of the following:
1) the card
2) the cable (if used)
3) the card reader (if used)
4) the computer RAM,
5) thecomputer hard drive (or SSD)
A failure of any one of the above will result in corrupted images when viewed. Since it seems to be RAW file related, as they are signifantly larger than JPGs, it's likely anything but the card reader or cable.
The only way to 'beat it' is eliminate each of the possibilities, starting with the easiest/cheapest fix.
1) Use the cable. If that solves the problem, replace the card reader.
2) Use a different card. If that solves it, toss the old card.
3) If multiple sticks of internal computer RAM, swap them. If that fixes it, or, the problem 'moves' to other images, replace the RAM. It could be only 1 of 2 sticks bad, though, so use only 1 of the old sticks for a while to see if the problem recurs.
4) If you have multiple hard drives in your computer, or an external one, use that to store the photos for a while. If the problems go away, it's the drive. Note that hard drive failures typically start slowly and increase gradually. On occassion, though, your computer won't boot and it's all over. If you are down to thinking it's the hard drive, it's time to get a good backup...NOW!
For what it's worth, I had a similar problem with corrupted photos. Both RAW and JPGs were affected. But as the problems were after having loaded and initially viewed them on my HD, I knew it was a computer problem. It dogged me for a couple of weeks. I even played swap the memory sticks, pull one out and run on one only, swap the one for the other (running on one), and it STILL kept happening. I finally gave up and replaced both sticks of RAM. That solved the problem. So much for lifetime warranty from Hong Kong. A very well regarded brand of RAM, no less. My SSD drive was the next one on the list, it the new RAM didn't solve it.

Can I include raw files into the installer folder with LV application builder?

Hello,
I have created a batch file that will run at the end of the installer, which will copy over some raw configuration files into the source destination so that the configuration files can be customized for each end user without rebuilding the installer with application builder. I also have an autorun.inf so the installer will automatically run when the user installs the CD.
However I would like to have some default configuration files and an autorun.inf file that will be automatically added to the installer "volume" folder using the application builder.
However I don't see a way to include raw files in the "volume" folder. It appears all source files in the application builder are embedded into the binary files.
Please let me know if this is possible with the current application builder.

Raw file created by Nikon D7000 with multi-exposure

After recent updates to ACR6.3 etc., I find all my photos taken by D7000 with multi-exposure turn into PINK colored when opened by ACR. I have no problem in opening other raw files taken by D7000 without multi-exposure nor those taken by D700 (not D7000) with multi-exposure. I don't know whether it is something wrong with my setting or this is a bug in ACR6.3. Any one has similar issue?
Thanks!

How to open a RAW file that has been created with Photoshop CS5.5?

I did some HDRs and when back in Photoshop CS 5.5 I tried to save them (16 bit colur depth).
GIven the option to save the image as .RAW file I did that but now:
Which program can be used to open those Photoshop created RAW files???
When I try to open one of these files with Photoshop I just get noise.

1. Photoshop CAN open (flat) PSD files through Camera Raw, no problem.
2. There are those of us who have used every version of Photoshop, going back almost 20 years, and who *still* haven't used them all. I just don't see that as any kind of problem.
3. Lastly: You have been asserting here all along that Photoshop won't re-open a 16 bit .raw file properly. That's absolutely wrong. If you get the bit depth, number of channels, and pixel counts right (i.e., the same as when the image was saved) it WILL open properly. The thing is, with the Photoshop raw format there really is no metadata in the file, meaning YOU have to put all those numbers in. It's not a general purpose "push one button and done" kind of format - it's a specialty format, as Chris noted above.
-Noel
1) will try that out
2) I am just curious and like to try out all functions and see what it does and how it works.
3) guess I have to play arould with it a bit more to find the right settings that allow me to save and re-open the file correctly.
BTW: when writing messages here my FF browser doesnt show any cursor in the text field which makes it difficult to see where I am. Does everyone have that problem?
Just noticed: I have to click on to something in the pulldown menu and later the cursor appears. I have the same problem with facebook. Have to click somewhere else first and then go back to the text field to make the cursor appear.
