RAW Reprocessing

I don't recall this in ver 5, but now when I import my RAW files from my nikon d70 and then try to click and drag it from iphoto 6 to the photoshop cs icon in order to open it in adobe camera raw it comes up as a jpeg. Previously, that would only happen if I double clicked it or hit the edit button, then it would bring it in as a jpeg. Click and drag or manual export as original no problem. Now though, doesn't work, I have to select the image in iphoto and tell it to reprocess raw, same as doing an undo and restore to original. I shouldn't have to do that for all my raw files. Funny thing, though, I swear its done it both ways since upgrading to 6. Anyone have any ideas? A bug or how its supposed to be now?

Can someone test this out on their system and see if it does the same thing? Just seems weird to have to reprocess the raw files (they were never altered), unless this is now a fundamental change to iphoto 6.

Aperture 3.6 raw reprocessing

Aperture 3.6 says it has a newer version of Apple's raw processing. When I reprocess, I see considerable differences. For example, dodge adjustments become much stronger than before. Opinions to whether the new raw processing is an improvement, anyone? Thanks.

So far i discovered that:
The Detail Slider in the RAW Fine Tuning Brick works different
Standard for my NEF Files where 0.0 (manually set to 1.0) ist changed to 0.13
If set manually to 1.0 way more noise and more details so i have to find a spot around 0.55 to 0.6 to match the former Settings under 3.5.1
Shadows and Highlights are betterCreated a Duplicate from a unedited (with older RAW Engine) NEF -> better Highlights (Histogramm does look different)
Colors look better, especially greens, blues und magentacompared a Picture with someone wearing a purple Jacket; that Jacket look more close to reality
NEF Files from Nikon D7100 latest Firmware (2014)

So far i´m happy with the new RAW Engine

Latest RAW reprocessing resulting in very brighter images

Hi to All,
I have a strange problem with my Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite with Digital Camera Raw 6.02
On all my canon 600d's Raw files I have the Reprocess button... but if I click on it the images became very very brighter, completely wrong!!!!
On internet I found a link talking about this problem with a nikon D7000, but without solution.
Is the first time I see this problem on Aperture.
Thanks to all for your help in this.

Also, the choice of camera profile is only one relatively subtle and subjective aspect, of the settings that need to be configured to your taste in LR, if you are going to see what you want by default. The camera itself is set up not only for "Landscape" (or whatever), but also for a particular tone curve, contrastiness, saturation, sharpening.... perhaps special processing or effects of various kinds too.
None of these will be implemented by LR according to how the camera is set; but only, according to how LR itself is set in these (and other) respects - to the extent that it even has corresponding adjustments.
Selecting a given camera-emulating profile does not "wake LR up" to the actual camera-recorded settings in any way. As has been stated, as-shot WB is more or less all that gets through.

Initial thoughts on Aperture 2

1. Interface buttons nicely grouped and overall cleaned up
2. Tabs for projects, metadata, adjustments nice, but I cannot see a preference for "my set" of default adjustment tools: will have to look at plist
3. Preferences pane much better
Now the meat and two veg ....
4. Adjustment sliders are very smooth and result in an easier to achieve balance for an image. That said, still have to use <Option> or key in zero to get a slider back to zero.
5. Straighten, with or without crop is utter joy. Granted it should never have been the dog it was under 1.x, but kudos for fixing. Even works pretty fluidly at 100% zoom, though somewhat more hesitant than full screen. Tried 2 up with one image cropped and zoomed and straighten still worked well.
6. RAW v2 looks slightly more saturated with slightly less noise by default vs. 1.1, and the additional sliders are useful. Overall (Canon 20D) 1.1 was a good RAW algorithm, so the differences are more subtle from v2 but welcome. Unsure I'll reprocess many, but the great news is that RAW reprocessing is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY faster.
7. Recovery and Blackpoint work really well and make H'light/ Shadows somewhat less needful .... so why are they there by default? Again, I really wanted "My Adjustment Tools" preset.
8. No curves. C'mon Aperture team.
9. Lift/stamp of auto-exposure copies the actual values, not the instruction. Still useless therefore as a batch concept.
10. Retouch/patch/clone work pretty fluidly. Some hesitancy on retouch, but not a problem. Good news is that it appears better than CS3 at determining edges and texture, meaning a simple wipe across a complex background doesn't pick up invalid pixels and retains underlying detail. Pretty darn impressive. Also, didn 't notice any slow-down after applying 20 retouches and then trying to straighten (a killer in v1.x). Fabulous!
11. Haven't tried export yet to see whether it's faster or whether it actually outputs the full image (the missing quadrants bug in jpeg's esp). But you can work alongside exports now and responsiveness is v.good.
12. All above working alongside Thumbnail generation (~4,500) and Previews (~4,500). The good news is that they took a back seat to editing and adjustments and no longer compromised performance.
13. Importing and editing images in parallel is amazingly good. Hardly noticed any lag due to disk I/O etc.
So, I couldn't end on 13, could I?
14. Overall it is a very very good first impression. No bug or crash or slowdown, SBOD etc. after 1 hrs use. Impressive.

I would like to add one new entry into this mix. The Intel Clarksfield new i7 series, while not the complete full power of the current i7 chips this new addition to the i7 family will be a mobile processor and it is supposed to be announced on Sept 23 giving laptops a new quad core lease on life.
"Quad core in future laptops
The new mobile platform from Intel code-named Calpella will supposedly be launced on September the 23rd. The Calpella platform is designed for the quad core Clarksfield processors, which feature the Core i7 line-up. The Calpella platform is designed for high-end laptops and will open up for mass uasage of quad core CPUs in mobile computers. For now there will be only 3 Core i7 mobile CPUs:
* Core i7-720QM       1.60 GHz       256 kb L2 cache per core       6 Mb unified L3 cache       45W TDP
* Core i7-820QM       1.73 GHz       256 kb L2 cache       8 Mb unified L3 cache       45W TDP
* Core i7-920XM       2.00 GHz       256 kb L2 cache       8 Mb unified L3 cache       55W TDP
All three CPUs come in 989-pin mPGA packaging and with an integrated dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. They all support HyperThreading so 8 processes can be run simultaniously. Because of the memory controller the Clarksfield CPUs will use a little more power than existing Core 2 Quad mobile CPUs, but overall system power usage is expected to be about the same".
"Taking a performance improvement over existing mobile processors, Intel Core i7 720QM evaluated at $ 364, 820QM - at $ 546 and 920XM - at $ 1054, the source"

All RAW files suddenly said to need reprocessing

I am running Aperture 3.0.3 with OS 10.6.4 so everything is as up-to-date as can be. I upgraded from Aperture 2 within a week of Aperture 3 being released and all my RAW files were updated in the process. Since then, I have added several thousand more pictures directly into whatever the latest version of Aperture was at that time. My RAW files are all from a Nikon D40.
The last time I used Aperture (about a week ago) everything was normal, but today the program suddenly tells me this about all my RAW files: "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing"
Obviously this should be impossible for the several thousand of pictures that have only existed within Aperture 3 as they would have been automatically processed using the latest version. However, if I filter pictures by which RAW processor was used for decoding, every RAW file except the 6 new files I just imported to check (they correctly show RAW Decoding 3.0) shows that it was decoded with RAW Decoding 2.0.
If I push the reprocess button, my photos change slightly, becoming a little brighter, a little warmer, with a touch more saturation. I exported some JPEGs to compare to pictures I have outside Aperture and there is a definite (but subtle) change after reprocessing compared to my original edits done in Aperture 3. All quickbrush adjustments are available for all RAW files as well, which I thought was only possible if the file was updated to the latest processing...but I'm not sure about that.
I restored my library from a vault (updated about 1 week ago, unsure if before/after this issue began) and I get the same message. The only change I've made recently has been installing the Camera RAW update that came about in the past few weeks. Is it possible that made this suddenly start happening?
Of course I want to have the latest RAW decoding for my files, but I'm concerned that pictures I edited and exported months ago appear to have a different version of RAW processing than Aperture now wants to give my files. Anyone with a clue of what's going on or what I can do to troubleshoot this issue.

Aperture user since v1.0. Nikon D70.
You're not alone. This message has recently appeared on my entire library of D70 RAW images, excluding my two most recent imports.
At the same time, many precious, carefully hand tweaked images have taken on a very pronounced dark green colour cast (which renders them as completely useless). It seems that the more carefully the file had been tweaked, the more likely it was to have been affected by the dark green cast. I am extremely disappointed by this.
FWIW. Depending on their vintage my images may have been originally processed in RAW Decode v1, v1.1, v2 or v3. All images were reprocessed in RAW Decode v3 when Aperture 3 was originally released.
Reprocessing the images using RAW Decode Version 3 removes this colour cast but also creates images of a different pixel size! Previously they were 3024px by 1998px; after reprocessing they are 3008px by 2000px. This is the size that Adobe's and Nikon's own RAW processors produce, so the previous dimensions must be seen as Apple's mistake (I reported it as such when Aperture 1 was first released, so I suppose we should be glad that they've gotten round to fixing it).
This change in pixel dimension is covered in support.apple.com/kb/TS3114 which says that the change occurs after upgrading to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3. Of course, the release notes for Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.3 made no mention of this. And Apple seem to be playing the whole affair with their customary stone wall.

Reprocess raw

Hi,
In iPhoto if i right click on a photo it gives me the option to reprocess raw, even when i have not modified the photo.
I also have auto rotation turned on in my camera and when i reprocess a portrait photo it goes into landscape, should I turn auto rotation off and rotate the photos manually. If i should, what is the best way to rotate them. I like the method of using folder action setup, but does it create duplicate photos (modified and unmodified)
Does preview create a duplicate when i use it to rotate photos
Thanks Joel

What version of iPhoto?
I believe that Auto-Rotate is pointless on a camera, and certainly if you're shooting Raw.

How do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

how do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

Here's the thing: You didn't shoot in B&W and the Raw is in colour.
Your camera shoots everything in colour because that's what the sensor in the camera is - RGB. For B&W shots what happens is that the camera adds a display tag to the shot - and this is written to the Jpeg you shoot, and so it displays.
But a Raw is a sensor dump from the camera. This is all the data that the camera has, and all of that is in colour, so it shows in colour on Aperture.
Convert to B&W in Aperture or shoot Jpeg.

Reprocess every d40 raw file on every application launch

Aperture 3.1.1 reprocesses every nikon d40 raw in the library, at every application launch. I can stop it manually of course but all the files will then show "was processed using an earlier version of aperture". Needless to say this is an anoying if not unacceptable behaviour.
Is there a way around it?

Have you gone through the [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805] ? With library problems like this its a good place to start.

Reprocess RAW's more than once

Some pictures I loaded to Aperture in 3.0 and 3.01 get a "Processes in an older version to RAW" note and it seems some I go back to say this when they were fine the last time. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it a bug specific to my system?
Mark

I got this message with some of my LX3 raw files. These files were imported into 3.0.1, never in any older version of Aperture. Got this message several times, pressed Reprocess whenever this message showed up. Suddenly the message seems not to appear anymore.
Upgrade path of my Aperture has been 2.1.4 -> 3.0.0 trial -> bought 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1
Still got my 2.1.4 in a separate folder on my HD. I used to use this next to my 3.0.0 trial version, later not anymore.

Editing raw photos in CS4 and returning to a specific event in Iphoto '09

I wish to edit raw photos in CS4. I have set CS4 as my preferred editor in preferences. When I am finished editing in CS4, I wish to to return the edited photo to the same event from which it came. How do I do this without saving the photo to the desktop (or where ever) and then importing to Iphoto and then dragging to the appropriate event. Please be specific.

I don't use CS4, but I may be able to help. I also shoot in RAW and use iPhoto and I use NX2 as my external editor. Here's how I do what you're asking about.
(1) In iPhoto->Preferences: select send RAW to external editor.
(2) In iPhoto->Preferences: select Capture NX2 as external editor.
(3) Import all RAW photos into iPhoto.
(4) Double click on a photo to send it to NX2. (iPhoto sends a link to the original RAW file in this step.)
(5) Make any desired edits in NX2.
(6) in NX2 select "save". This overwites the original RAW file in iPhoto's library.
(7) in NX2 select "save as JPEG". Navigate to the iPhoto "modified" directory and overwrite the existing JPEG (The one that iPhoto made when it initially processed your RAW file). You should always get and overwrite warning at this point. It means your in the right place!
All done. After this iPhoto automatically updates the corresponding thumbnail to match. At this point, you modified RAW file and it corresponding JPEG are both stored in iPhoto. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't also work with CS4.
If at any point you'd like to go back to the RAW file and edit it some more simply select "reprocess raw" or "revert to original" in iPhoto.
In order to be able to navigate into the iPhoto library you first need to make an alias to it by right click and "create alias". Then just place this alias anywhere you like. Browse here in Step 7.
This solution is not for everyone. If you mess up and save your JPEG in the wrong place you may get unexpected results from iPhoto because it's library is not supposed to be messed with by users. But if you are careful you will be fine. It all depends on how comfortable you are with computers. The choice and risk is up to you. I just wanted to make sure you knew a solution existed.

Exported masters (RAW nefs) have been lost

Hi there, hoping you might be able to help.
I use Aperture everyday to organise my photo workload as referenced files - storing the original RAW nefs in Pictures, I stress I am a basic user.
After star rating a batch of approx. 500 photos I wanted to edit I decided to make a new folder in Pictures for them by exporting the originals.
Aperture did the exporting thing and then showed up an error message that the export had failed.
So I assumed the originals would not have been moved and found when looking in the original Pictures folder that they were not there anymore. The Aperture previews are showing up the yellow triangle that the master file is missing. I have searched by date and name but think they have all been lost.
I have tried the drill disk software which found the files so I happily paid the upgrade fee to recover them.
Once recovered I could see the files in Aperture again without the yellow triangle this time, but when try exporting then they are sadly all corrupted.
I know I can try rebuilding the Aperture database but thought I should seek help first on what I should try next.
I have the original flash cards with half the images on which is good, but the other half were on a card I have since reformatted and used for other jobs.
Learning the hard way that I really should be backing up!
Thank you

Just to clarify, I imported 2000 masters, I edited them a week later (this beng last Friday) getting approx. 500 ready for export.
After the export failed the other 1500 masters were still in the original location - as they still are now.
I don't see how only the 500 that I chose to edit could have been missing before I performed the export - that doesnt make any sense. The 500 images I exported are exactly the files that have been lost.
Sadly I can't re-import all the masters. They were shot on 2 x CF cards and I only have one available.
I have reimported the ones I do have and spent the afternoon relocating the referenced files. So thankfully I have some back but not all.
I suppose if I had them all I wouldn't be needing to ask for help here
The 'reprocess original' command is greyed out for the files still left with a yellow triangle, so I guess as the master really has been lost this isn't an option either.
I am stumped and really quite worried about Aperture now, its bee a fantastic application for me over the past 18 months but has sadly resulted in a big disappointment.
The discussion on Aperture Expert that I have been having the last few days seems to confirm that this is a confirmed bug by Apple - gutted to say the least.
Many thanks for your input though Leonie, anything else you can suggest as I am almost all out!

Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
Marion

I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
Thanks for your help.

Olympus E-P3 Raw Support Question

I recently purchased an Olympus E-P3. I thought that Aperture supported Raw format with this camera (at least according to Apple's own statements, it is supposed to be supported). But I loaded photos from my Olympus into Aperture and it just gave me a message that there were unsupported files and it did not import any of the raw files.
So, does Aperture 3 support Olympus Raw or not? I read in other places that people were having to manually tell Aperture to reprocess files and somehow that worked. But I thought Raw support meant that raw files would upload directly into Aperture.
What exactly does "raw support" mean if Aperture doesn't recognize Olympus ORF files?
Thanks.
Aperture 3.2.2
Yes I just updated all my software including Aperture Raw support

Looking at this page OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats the Olympus PEN E-P3 is show as supported by 10.7.2 so a few last things I can think to try:
One is to do the steps listed in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics. Doesn;t seem like this would be a library problem but you never know and the procedures don;t take much time.
Would be to create a new library and try to import a RAW file into that just to try and narrow down where the problem is.
Would be to create a new user on your system, log in as that user, run Aperture and try to import a RAW file for the same reason.
Would be to post RAW file on the net somewhere like dropbox so one of us could test it out on our systems to see if it behaves any differently.
Finally a call to Apple to find out whats going on.
good luck
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - One other thing I just thought of. Try to import using iPhoto (if you have it) or with Image Capture to try and narrow down the problem to Aperture or the Raw CAmera bundle

Panasonic FZ1000 RAW not working in Aperture

My FZ1000 RAW files are not able to be read in Aperture (getting "Unsupported image format" message. RAW support for the FZ1000 was added in Digital Camera RAW 5.07, which I downloaded and installed. When I go to About Aperture, it's showing DC RAW 5.07, build 760.1 but yet it's still not working. I have rebooted my Mac but still nothing.
I'm running Aperture 3.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Todd

I removed them from my library then reimported them and all is well now.
Yes, that forces the reprocessing. Instead of reimporting it might have helped to reprocess the RAW with "Photos > ReprocessOriginals".

Pentax K-x calibration with Camera Raw 3.1, and calibration updates

The Pentax K-x will save its raw files in either DNG (Adobe) format, or PEF (Pentax) format. Until Camera Raw 3.1 was released, I had my K-x writing DNG files, since there was no support in Apperture for PEF files. With Camera Raw 3.1, the K-x is now explicitly included, so that I could switch to PEF format.
My initial sense after doing that was that the PEF files were coming in darker than the DNG files had. But when I switched back to DNG, those were darker than I thought they should be, too. Since I had DNG files that had been processed with Camera Raw 3.0, I went back and made new versions, processing those with Camera Raw 3.1. Those, too, were much darker than the same files processed with the earlier raw developer. For examples, this picture is from a K-x DNG master processed with Camera Raw 3.0, while this picture is from the same master, reprocessed with Camera Raw 3.1. I've embedded the histograms shown in the inspector in each. Each of those has no adjustments applied. The JPEG image produced in camera (I shoot Raw+JPEG) is much closer to the brighter 3.0 image than the darker 3.1 image.
I've seen one other report of similar behaviour with K-x images in here, but that took the approach that the solution was to revert to Camera Raw 3.0, for now, at least. I hate to move backward, particularly if it locks me out of any future updates. So, does Apple have a history of recalibrating cameras that they've already released Raw support for? Might this change in a future Camera Raw update, or is this likely to be what they alway render for the K-x?
I can get the new style images looking okay (in fact, they seem to have better noise characteristics) with a good deal of adjustment, but not if I confine my adjustments to the Raw Processing brick. There, Boost and Hue Boost are both maxxed out by default, already. If I add adjustments in the exposure brick, and maybe a few others, I can probably get a general set of adjustments that will work as a default for this camera, but how common is it to have to do that?

Aperture 3 mostly seems to work fine for me, at the moment. There were some issues with importing my iPhoto Library that I've mostly worked out, and some quirks that were fixed by the 3.0.1 update. I'm not saying it's all better, but it's not the doom that one might imagine reading some of the threads here, either.
I only had the trial version of Aperture 2, though. I only got the K-x in late December, and before that, I had no need for raw processing. The software Pentax supplies is UGLY, though, and iPhoto wasn't cutting it, so I tried the Aperture 2 trial and the Lightroom 3 beta. I concluded that I much preferred Aperture to Lightroom, but I wasn't going to buy Aperture 2 when all the speculation was that Aperture 3 was right around the corner, or not coming at all. Since my Aperture 2 trial had run out, it wasn't a hard choice to buy Aperture 3 as soon as it came out. I do find I use the editing brushes more than I imagined I would, and I'm very happy that it now directly supports my camera - I've switched to shooting PEF raw instead of DNG raw.
