Raw format sony a100

I have a lot of raw format photos from a sony a100. When I try to view pics from that camera the thumbnails look normal, but the full size pics look somewhat like negatives. Is there a way to fix this?
Also how can I add photos to my iphoto library without copying the pics into the iphoto folder?

What color format are the shots? iPhoto supports RGB only, not CMYK, which can cause this problem. Also, is the RAW from Sony supported?
As to your second question: Go to Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy file to iPhoto Library Folder when importing...'
But remember: if you choose this option that importing and deleting pics are multi-step operations rather than simple ones, and things like moving your photos to an external HD or to a new machine is more complicated.

  • Sony A100 Will Not Import Raw Files on MacBook Pro

    I have Just got a Sony A100 and when I plug it into my Mac Book Pro 17 running 10.4.8 it will import the JPG images in OK but not the RAW images.
    But if I plug the same Camera into my Dual G5 running 10.4.8 or the Intel Mac Mini also running 10.4.8 both the JPG's and the RAW files are imported OK.
    On the bases that this is not a hardware fault the only software differance I can see from the MB Pro 17 and the other computers is that the MB Pro shippend with 10.4.8 and the other two Mac's where upgraded to 10.4.8 from 10.4.7.
    So the Question is how can I update the camera import functions on the MB Pro to import the RAW format file like the other two nice Mac's?
    Regards

    Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
    Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

  • Opening Sony's ARA (RAW) format in PS Elements 9

    I use PS Elements 9, with the Adober Camera Raw plug-in installed (ver. 6.5.0.216) but cannot open Sonly's ARW format file, (RAW from Sony's a6000 mirrorless camera). The Adobe support page for this plug-in shows that it's compatible with PSE 9 and and that it supports the a6000 camera. I am eager for helpful comments. Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to the following, the Sony Alpha A6000 requires camera raw 8.4 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elemenets 9.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Providing your system is not XP, Vista or Mac OS 10.6 or earlier, then you need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 or 13 or use the DNG converter 8.4 or later.
    DNG  Converter 8.7

  • Im running lightroom 4 and just purchased the Sony A7 and using its sd card. when I   tried to load the photos, I got a message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

    Tried loading my raw files shot w my new Sony a7 and its sd card into lightroom4. Got a message: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in lightroom"
    Does Lightroom 4 not work with the Sony A7?
    Thanks,

    Lightroom 4 cannot read the RAW photos from a Sony A7
    You would have to download and install the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and then convert your RAW to DNG, and then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
    You could also purchase Lightroom 5.5, which will have the capability to read the RAWs directly.

  • I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them

    I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them out in Photoshop but got a error saying that camera raw was out of date with my new camera.  Even after updating my Photoshop CS 5 extended with camera raw 6.7    I beleive the exact wording was "camera not supported by the current version of Camera Raw"
    Is there another version of Camera raw I can download that will allow this or is my camera just too new for the version of photoshop I have?
    Thanks

    Adobe’s camera support list suggests you need ACR 8.4 or newer:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Your camera is several years newer than the last ACR plug-in CS5 will host.
    If you’re not quite sure you want to spend the money for a new PS, then you can download and use the free DNG Converter 8.4 or newer to make DNGs from the ARW files and those DNGs will have enough new information embedded in them for an older ACR plug-in to work with.  Of course this is more cumbersome than opening the files natively in PS-CC with the newest ACR plug-in.
    The most obvious thing would be to subscribe to the CC Photography Plan and get the current versions of both LR and PS-CC for $10/month.   There is a minimum OS requirement of 10.7 or Win 7 currently and maybe 10.8/Win7 for LR6—not sure about the next PS version because Adobe hasn’t publically said as far as I know.
    One thing you haven’t seen using only PS-CS5/ACR6.x is that CS6/ACR7 or newer, there is a new toning model that seems superior for most images.

  • How can I get Aperture 3.4 to support Sony NEX-5N RAW format photos?

    I've upgraded all software and my camera -- Sony NEX-5N -- is on the Aperture list for RAW format support, but it continues to show images shot in RAW as a black square with FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED! in the middle. Is there a setting I'm overlooking or what?

    Your camera is on the list of the "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1473
    What is your Aperture version? Perhaps you need to reinstall Aperture from the original installation media and then upgrade to include the 3.9 update. Or try to install the raw upgrade directly.

  • I can't import Sony Alpha 5100 raw format files

    Hello experts,
    I tried to import raw format files from SONY Alpha 5100 (ILCE-5100) but never worked while it did when I tried with Alpha 5000. I checked with SONY customer support and was told that RAW format is exactly the same between 5000 and 5100, which is SONY ARW 2.3.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do i have to wait until Apple will update iPhoto?

    We are just users like yourself here and have no idea what's coming down the pike at a later date.
    You might see if the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh is compatible with your camera. If it is you can use it use it to convert your RAW files to DMG files which iPhoto can import until support by Apple is released.

  • Import RAW images from Sony A100 DSLR?

    iPhoto 6 does not import RAW images taken with my Sony A100 DSLR. I can view the images with preview, so apparently Mac OS X knows how to handle them. But, iPhoto just says there are no pictures to import.
    I installed the Aperture trial, and it handled the RAW images, as does the Adobe Lightroom beta4. But, not iPhoto6.
    I am running all the latest patches, with 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro.
    Does RAW work for anyone else with this camera? Any suggestions for workarounds?

    I messed around with this a bit more and found that if I manually import the RAW images, it works fine. But, iPhoto still does not recognize new pictures and import them automatically.
    I can also see them in Finder and Preview, so I know the OS support is up to date. Also, I tried it on my Mac Mini, and the mini recognized the raw pictures and imported them as I would expect.
    The RAW updater only mentions Canon, Nikon, and Pentax as being addressed. I did install it, but it may not be necessary.
    This article on Apple's site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303554
    says you need 10.4.8 to support Sony RAW pictures.

  • Sony RAW format

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Sony Alpha 100 camera. I've installed the latest RAW support update for Mac OS X, running 10.4.8. The latest update should support this camera RAW format.
    Although I can manually copy the RAW (*.ARW) files to my Mac HD, and open them in Photoshop Elements and Sony's own provided utility, I get an error when attempting to import the photo's into iPhoto; the file type is unrecognised.
    Should iPhoto 5 support this format (in which case I need to do something to fix) or does the update I installed only apply to iPhoto 6?
    Thanks,
    Calvin

  • Sony A100 RAW File processing - How?

    I have a Sony A100 and cannot open my RAW files in elements, I have elements 4.0 on Mac.
    I am a novice to both dSLR and elements so please forgive me if this is a stupid question ... I have a couple of ARW photos, I tried to open them in elements but the files are greyed out so I cannot select them.
    So I then did a bit of research and downloaded a plugin for elements (I believe its for elements and apparently supports A100) thinking that this would allow me to open and process the files - however I get a message from elements saying it does not recognise the file. Any clues as to what I am doing wrong would be very much appreciated.
    I am clueless about trying to get these files into elements to process.
    thanks!!

    Marina,
    Did you download Adobe Camera Raw version 3.7 or 4.0? Did you unzip the
    file and place the unzipped version in the correct folder? The instructions

  • How can I download Raw format photographs into my iMac from my Sony A850 camera?

    How can I download Raw format photographs into my iMac from my Sony A850 camera?

    Looking at this article, it doesn't look like that camera model is supported by iPhoto. You may want to get in touch with Sony and see if they have any software that will allow you to import/view it.

  • Supported RAW Format .arw (Sony a6000 not displayed correctly)

    Hi Community,
    although listed as a supported RAW format and camera here: OS X Yosemite: Unterstützte RAW-Formate von Digitalkameras - Apple Support (SONY ILCE-6000) for Yosemite the new Photo App does not display the .arw RAW files correctly. They import just fine but into the photos app but then show up as weird lines and artifacts. Any idea if Photos app is requiring a separate RAW support or does it work on the basis of the OS wide RAW support.
    Any other idea for troubleshooting this one?
    See screenshot below
    Thanks for your help
    Lukas

    I just tried importing a RAW image from my A6000 and it imported and displays just fine.  How did you import the files?  I always import using Image Capture and save to disk.  Then, I import from disk to Photo.  If you import to disk first, you should be able to use Preview to check the raw images - they should show correctly.  If you import to disk and they show correctly in Preview, then OS X is reading and converting the files correctly.

  • Bridge can't read RAW format from my new camera

    I just bought a new Sony SLT-A58 but Bridge says the he can't read the RAW format so, I can't download my photos.
    I went online and found a Adobe Camera Raw 6.7.1 and a DNG Converter 7.4 plugins that supposidely would solve the problem. No avail. Still refuse to recognize the RAW format.
    Desperate as this is my working camera and and need it up and runing asap. I had absolutely no problems with my older Sony A100.
    What is weird is that... if I pass the photos in the converter, it shows me the .dng version of the photos so, something is there. Why can't Bridge see my RAW photos? ... and also, leave tons of caches and weird icons in the file, a real mess.
    I am on Mac platform on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and use CS5... and yes, all my programs and softwares are up-to-date.
    Thank you for your help...
    ... and Happy New Year

    So if RAW support is specific, why do they do a plugin for CS5 and for my camera?
    Adobe has released versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) right back to ACR 1.0 (which was compatible with Photoshop 7). However, supported cameras vary by ACR version and Adobe application version.
    You need to match:
    your camera make and model
    the version of Camera Raw which supports your camera make and model
    the specific version of Adobe software which supports the version of Camera Raw that you need.
    In your case, the Sony SLT-A58 was first supported by ACR 7.4 - which is only supported in CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with ACR7.4.
    Complete list of supported cameras is here
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications are listed here
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    CS5 is certainly not an antiquity and the Sony A58 is not a huge tech advanced Hasselblad. I have friends who have big Nikon and Sony A77 and Canon and import their RAW to their CS5 Bridge.
    All that matters is which specific camera matches up with which version of ACR - and which Adobe applications are compatible with that version of ACR.
    Can't comment on big Nikon or Canon mentioned above without specific camera model numbers.
    However, the Sony A77 is supported by ACR6.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS5+. Easy to see why that combination works.
    Similarly, your Sony A100 was first supported by ACR 3.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS2+. Easy to see why that works too.
    Always read the Adobe tables linked above and cross-reference them with each other. That should clear up your confusion.
