RAW support for new micro 4/3 Panasonic GF-1

Hi everyone, I've just preordered my copy of the new micro 4/3 Panasonic GF-1! I've sent in my feedback request for the RAW format to be supported by Aperture and thought it would be good to start a thread here to get the popular vote going!
I assume it will be easier than the LX3 since that little camera had serious barrel distortion issues that had to be corrected in the RAW conversion (and doubtless that it was a difficult thing for Aperture to be able to support that). With this camera there are no such issues.

hey..it's been more then 2 years since canon changed their tethering protocol and apple still hasn't gotten around to working out a solution.....but i guess that makes sense since that only afects every canon dslr sold int he last 2 years.....that is not that many....
on the other hand, maybe you should wait for the camera to actually be released and available to ask for raw support? apple is usually the last of the raw converters to support new cameras.....but imo it is always worth the wait....

Camera Raw support for new Nikon D810

Hi, could you please advise when we can expect to see camera raw support for the new nikon D810.
Thanks

Adriana – I installed the download from the link in the 7/27 post and was able to convert my NEF files to DNG format from my new D810 camera, but could not view/edit the NEF-smalls. When I saw your latest post I used your link to go to that download and noticed that in the description it mentioned that the issues with the D810 NEF-small have been resolved. I deleted/emptied trash of the 7/27 download and re-installed the one mentioned from your link – although they were both identical in file size and version: 8.6 – hmm? I tried the converter – but nothing new was converted (I presume because all had already been converted before?). However, CS6 is still not able to open/edit neither the NEF-small file formats, nor the DNG created from it. I am thinking maybe I am missing a step, because when I select properties for Camera Raw in CS6, the version is 8.5.0.236 – is that ok (my CS6 version is 13.0.6 – and no other updates appear available)? I only downloaded the DNGConverter_8_6.dmg; installed the .pkg – did I forget a step? Thanks for your help!

No RAW support for new Nikon P7000

Just received the new, compact, "pro-sumer" Nikon P7000 camera today. It's a beauty. High-end, finessed pictures in those situations where you don't want to lug a DSLR around. It's going head-to-head with the legendary Canon G11/G12.
One major "gotcha'" that I didn't know about until I started using the camera, is that the Nikon P7000 uses a proprietary RAW format. It's predecessor, the p6000, did too. However, while Aperture supports the older p6000 NRW "raw" format, it does NOT currently support the enhanced NRW+ format used by the p7000. f#$% !!!
This is truly annoying!! There is no reason that I can think of for the p7000 not to use the NEF raw format used by most other (Nikon) cameras. Thanks, Nikon!! /sarcasm
So this means that currently, RAW photos from the Nikon P7000 cannot be imported into Aperture. You have to set the camera to create "Fine" JPEG photos; which, granted, are pretty good. However, to get the advantage of RAW photos, you have to use the "ViewNX2" editing software that came with the camera. Blah!
Hopefully, Apple will step up, and the Raw Camera Support for Aperture will soon include the NRW+ format. Or even better yet, hopefully Nikon will see the error of their ways an migrate their Powershot cameras to the "standard" raw format, NEF, in an upcoming firmware release.

Yes, it is a problem. Apple loses lots of market share through slow response time in supporting new cameras. Adobe is usually faster, so a workaround may be to use Adobe's DNG Converter to convert the Nikon P7000 NRW files to DNGs that Aperture can digest.
Thanks for the pointer to the free Adobe DNG Converter. Even though it doesn't yet support the P7000, you're right in that Adobe may beat Apple to the punch. Plus, I just like the idea of the DNG format. The Converter looks like a handy tool to have in the tool chest. I've got my fingers crossed that it's AppleScriptable
The P7000 does look like the pocket camera many of us have been whining to Nikon about for years. I lacks swivel display but the huge size of the LCD makes up for it. I want one!
Despite my whining about RAW support, my initial impression after one day of shooting is that it's as great a camera as it looks on paper. Lots of control over the shot. Good, solid feel. Can get great shots in adverse (eg. low light) conditions. The only major annoyance I've noticed is slow RAW write times (several seconds using Class 6 card). I've heard some grumbling about AutoFocus issues, but I having had any problems with it yet. The swivel monitor isn't a big deal -- for me anyway -- because the 3" display is easy to see at any angle. Plus, I wanted rugged, and would worry about the swivel joint becoming a weak spot. BTW, you'll need some big pockets to call it a "pocket camera"; it dwarfs my Canon S90 (which I consider my pocket camera)
Thanks again,

Needed Raw-Support for new Samsung SLRs like NX1000

Hopefully Apple is updating his support for these new cameras (they are still a few month on the market).

You better tell Apple directly: Apple - Aperture - Feedback
Here Apple probably will not hear you.

RAW support for new camera in Bridge CS3

Hi all
I have PS Elements 6 on a Mac and have updated to ACR 5.2 which allows Elements to open the RAW files from my new Panasonic G1 camera. However, I have to do this direct from Elements as I get the message in Bridge that 'this version of Bridge does not support this file'.
Am I correct, therefore, in thinking I need the CS4 version of Bridge. If so, is there any way of getting this without buying the full version of Photoshop?
Thanks
John

Here are the instructions from the downloads page:
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6: NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to successfully install the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop Elements.
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the onscreen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to:
(Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in,
Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.

How fast does Apple produce new RAW files for new cameras? I want to buy a D7100 wich is not supported in the present version?

I'm interested in seeing who gets the D7100 support first? Apple or Adobe!! I will go with the one that gets it out first.
FWIW,
Adobe keeps a quarterly release schedule for RAW updates. The current Lightroom 4.4 RC expires on 5/31/2013 which typically is an indication that the official release will be close to that date. According to the current list of new supported cameras, the Nikon D7100 is not slated to be supported (but that could change on release).
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-4/?tabID=details#tabTop
The most likely time frame for Adobe support of the D7100 will be sometime in August or September 2013 (although there will probably be a Lightroom 4.5 RC available prior to that for testing purposes).

Raw Support for Panasonic LX-5

In trying to keep aware of when raw support might be added for my 2 month old LX-5 I came across an update that someone had referenced from January of this year that added raw support for the LX-5 and some other cameras, when I tried to download it my computer said the latest update on my computer was newer than that. Does that mean I should already have it? If not does anyone know when it will be added? When I first took pictures with my camera I had images saved in raw and j-peg and i photo only recognized the j peg formatted pictures. The j pegs are beautiful but I would like to experiment with raw.

I reply now only to validate my ignorance..
I think what happened is the update that added the lx-5 raw support came out a couple weeks after I got the camera, so I tried it initially and was not able to import raw files and gave up and went to j peg. I tried again this morning after posting, and have been happily dealing with raw files all morning.
Love the camera and am glad i photo will allow me to realize all that it can do!

RAW SUPPORT FOR PANASONIC FZ38

RAW SUPPORT FOR PANASONIC FZ38
I have installed the Camera Raw plug-in 5.6 as decribed on the Adobe web site (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3) manually (version 5.6 09/12/09). Although this RAW is listed on the web site as being with Camera Ra 5.6, the RAW of this Panasonic (RW2) it does not appear within the "Bridge" program listing of associations. The flies CAN NOT be opened in either Bridge OR PhotoElements 6.0
Perhaps it has been left out by error. Help please. Thank you.
To the contary, the RAWS of the Canon 7D work perfectly.
Help please !
Kevin in France

You may need to check you used the correct download for Elements rather than creative suite. To check for the plug-in open Elements - Full Edit and go to Help > About Plug-IN > Camera raw and you should see the version of ACR installed. Your Panasonic needs version 5.6.0.148 If you don’t see it, or you have an earlier version than 5.6, use one of the following links to download ACR.

Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store. This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII. This will be a VERY popular camera.
More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software". When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII. I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
So after my little rant.
Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester. I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing. I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
Kind Regards
Tom Croll

Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product. Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released. I have been in the software development game for 35 years
But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc. As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into. I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models. I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable. Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files. But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support. Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models. Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe. In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management. I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.
Kind Regards

[Consolidation-Locked] Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!

My Fair Adobe,
Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!
ViewNX lets me get to the images, but come on!!! I know Lightroom, and you, ViewNX, are no Lightroom.
Yes, I see everyone else ASKING for D600 support. I'm here to beg for it! Don't make me wait much longer!

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.

No Raw support for Olympus e620

Cant believe aperture 3 does not have raw support for the Olympus E620. I am nearly ready to upgrade. Can Apple get there act together on this.

Harass the company - go to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
select Aperture
and request support for the cameras that you use and want to be supported
Tell them you will have to migrate to LightRoom if they do not support the camera.
Now that Apple have moved to a new version of the Raw converter program they have little excuse for not adding these cameras.

RAW Support for Sony

Any idea when RAW support for the Sony Alpha 330a will be added to Aperture 3? I would have thought that most all late model SONY's use the same RAW specs, but I cannot import my RAW pictures at this point. Thanks

Sonyman,
only Apple knows the answer to your question.
If I had to guess, I would say it is likely that the V3 will not be supported. That camera was announced in August 2004; chances are that Apple will add support for RAW format of new cameras before they worry about old ones.
Then again, that is only my guess.

RAW support for Olympus XZ-1?

With the Olympus XZ-1 quickly gaining ground as one of the most popular compact-enthusiast cameras, I'd think Apple would be very keen on getting RAW support for the camera into Aperture. We're going on six months since the camera's release, and still not there. Does anyone have any line, at all, as to if/when this is going to happen?

Keith Barkley wrote:
"much"? Considering that Canon and Nikon have a huge share of the market, it is unlikely that Apple lost very many customers because of this.
What I said was Historically Apple has lost much market share to Adobe Light Room through slow support for important cameras... That does include slow support for new cameras from Nikon and Canon. Why Apple gives up this market share must only be because no one has told Steve it is happening; some VP is not doing his/her job.

Camera Raw Support for G12 & S95

The current Camera Raw 6.2 release does not support the Canon G12 or Canon S95. Adobe please add raw support for these two great new cameras.

This is TRUE!! I have recently purchased a G12 and was informed that nothing changed but the addition of the new HD Video - quote, "that is the only difference between the two cameras," end quote.
Obviously the camera stores have been misled as I see that several of us have found out that the Camera Raw 6.2 version released is only good for the G11.
I have already spoken with Technical Support, left messages as well as sent an e-mail to "What's Missing" pull down menu.
Needless to say, if I hear back that an update is not forthcoming soon, I will have to return my camera!
It still amazes me that companies do not talk to each other nor release all updates appropriately.
