RAW support on os x?

Why does os  x give so many Raw support? I have only one camera, would't it be easier (less wasted space on the drive) to just have the RAW support for my camera and delet the rest?

Okay, because you know that first post read like you though OS X should offer Raw support for your camera only...
The amount of space required for the Raw support of each camera model is minute, it's mostly entries in a database. You don't need to apply Camera Raw updates unless they apply to a camera you are using. They get rolled into the next OS update anyway.
So, a: you can't dump unwanted Raw profiles and b: you won't save any significant amount of space if you do.

  • EXPRESS: Why no raw support in Photoshop express from Revel?

    We just got back from a trip to Disneyland and I shot over 800 photos in raw format on my Canon camera. I uploaded the images using my iPad to Revel each night and tonight I am home and I opened Photoshop Express so I could send some photos to Walgreens and I see thumbnails of my images from Revel in PSE but when I try to open one, I get an error that Photoshop Express cannot open this file. I dug around some before I found a message from Patti on the forums that says that PSE does not support Raw Files. Come on guys, I am a premium subscriber and I have Raw support in Revel and yet PSE which has more editing options won't support the files. I wanted to tweak some and upload to walgreens to print and it's easier to do it from PSE than to have to use the camera roll and then Walgreens app. I also wanted to upload some to to Flickr which PSE support and Revel used to support but no longer does. What is going on Adobe? Why are all the cloud products so fragmented? I'm starting to consider just storing images on my NAS and using other apps to accomplish the tasks from my iPad because your cloud services are not making this easier.

    But InDesign has it as well and I think this is like the craziest omission I can think of and they have made some serious ones in the past.
    Hopefully the next version all the apps will have it and that in case there are any problems it will be done in the way so that it will not cause any unforeseen difficulties.
    thanks for the answer David. Good you can find a little time to visit here as with this thread we all guess and you know better.

  • RAW Support for Canon G9

    Looked at the RAW Support page this morning after the website was updated and it appears there were no updates to support the Canon G9. Is this correct? Or have some of you received software updates this morning.
    Thanks

    I've downloaded the Lightroom demo (my 3rd time) and imported 266 D300 RAW photos from a Sunday morning shoot. I prefer Aperture, but I'm giving LR another chance. It's not that bad. My problem is that all our Macs are on Tiger and I really don't want Leopard (I also run many programs simply not compatible with Leopard), so in all likelihood will have to switch to LR/PS, which is rapidly becoming the standard anyways. I have to say performance is much faster but the 5 workflow separations in the user experience is inefficient, an artificial "silo" approach. Apertures UI model is much more flexible and transparent.
    I'll wait this week out and see if anything happens...

  • Continued lack of RAW support

    I am really perplexed with Apple RAW support. I thought finally with the release of Aperture 3 they would finally get it right. I haven't been able to use Aperture before because they haven't support most of the cameras I've owned. Finally today they added the G1 - 16 months after the camera launched and on the eve of a new model release. I sort of understood that they needed to incorporate lens corrections BUT.....
    There is still no support of the GF1 - released in September 2009. Gheeez the files are the same as the G1. Lightroom has had support since day 1.
    I am really afraid to make Aperture my primary DAM and image editor until I can get comfortable that Apple is actually serious about supporting cameras as they are released. Not sure how to get Apple to understand that their audience for this product is an audience that tends to buy new camera gear. Waiting months or years for camera support makes Aperture unusable as a product.
    How do we get Apple to listen?

    teb, me too. I have owned the GF1 since September and have been waiting and waiting.
    Supporting only the G1 and GH1 makes no sense - it is the same raw format. I'm wondering if there is a way to get Aperture to ignore it. See this post on how a script can make EP1+EP2 files be read as an E30:
    http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2010/2/1/a-script-to-open-olympus-e-p1-e-p2-r aw-orf-files-in-aperture.html
    The only way to get Apple to listen is to go to the Aperture menu, then click Provide Aperture Feedback. Here's the direct link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
    This is the only channel that works and I think a lot of people either don't know it is there, or cannot be bothered.

  • Lost camera raw support for canon 1ds markI in mountain lion

    I seem to have lost system support for camera raw files for the original Canon 1ds (what you might call the markI). There's been two recent raw support updates, and I'm not sure if it occured with the first for those two updates or with update to Mountain Lion itself (which I recently clean-installed). I noticed it after the first raw support update (Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01) but it could have happend with Mountain Lion install and I just didn't notice. In any case, I definitely don't have support for the camera raw files, finder shows only the generic TIFF icon thumnail (the raw files from the markI 1ds were of the extension .TIF, before canon moved on to .cr2 format..). Preview and Aperture can preview the file but without any custom white balance or other info stored with the raw file from camera.
    Anybody else experience this or know fix?
    Thanks!
    For anyone wanting and willing to test on their machine, I'll post a link to a test raw file.... hmm, apparently this support forum does not allow for the linclusion of a link to an image file, but I'll see if it allows for a link to a zipped folder with image inside... I suppose I wouldn't download a .zip file myself but for anyone braver than I:

    Lane,
    That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
    I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
    Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
    I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
    Not much help, I know.

  • Why no raw support for Fuji XF-1?

    The XF-1 has the same sensor as the X10 so it should be easy enough to add to RAW support I think.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why no RAW support for the Fuji FinePix HS10?

    This camera is well over a year old.  Why is there no support for the RAW file?

    It is definitely not only Fuji. I used a Panasonic Lumix FX-150 before that has been supported by Adobe Camera Raw for quite some time now. I replaced that camera by a Lumix LX5, but I see that the FX-150 is still not supported by Apple Camera Raw and probably never will.
    If you want wide range RAW support, use Lightroom. (Not to say that Aperture doesn't have its strengths, e.g. support for geocoding.)

  • Why no RAW support for Fuji X10?

    The Fuji X10 has been on the market for almost a year now and there still is no RAW support for it in Aperture. Why?

    Only Apple can asnwer the "Why?" questions, I'm afriad.

  • 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

  • Nikon D300 and D70 RAW support broken

    I am an Aperture 1.5 user that recently upgraded to 2.x due to my purchase of a D300. I was shooting a D70 before.
    I am just sort of getting my Aperture library back in shape (sold my G5 and moved completely to MBP until there is a Sub 2k machine that takes two external monitors and/or apple offers matte displays). I started importing some pictures from my D300 which were made with firmware 1.1. The first thing I noticed is that the autostack on import wasn't working. Moving the time domain slider over does nothing until I reach the far right hand side when it stacks the whole flash card full of files together.
    The other odd thing I noticed right off is that it does not auto-rotate shots done in portrait. After noticing that, I changed the import view to the "spreadsheet" format and all of the metadata was blank. Another side effect was that I imported some photos and had aperture place them on a network drive using the year/month of the pictures as the directory structure. This resulted in all of the shots going into a folder structure of 2000/1/ which is completely incorrect as the shots were taken last month and have a correct date/time stamp in the exif header in the files as well as on the actual files themselves.
    I though, perhaps I need to have the 1.10 firmware upgrade on my D300, so I applied that and shot some test pictures with the same result, autostack broken, autorotate broken, no metadata at import. I checked the picture post-import and the metadata seemed to all be there (F-stop, picture orientation, lens data, etc...). I though this might be a bug with the D300 format or using 12bit RAW+Jpeg Fine so I took a few shots with my trusty D70 in RAW and had the exact same issues.
    I finally gave up and took a series of shots with the D300 in Jpeg Fine. All of the above features worked perfectly this time. I repeated the test with the D70 Jpeg files which also worked perfectly.
    The issue only seems to present itself on import. RAW files that are already in my library seem to be fine.
    There is some horrible bug in the handling of Nikon raw files from at least two camera bodies. I looked around and there are some other threads on the discussion groups here citing inability to import and some other camera makes and models and I wanted to get a thread started about the core of these issues as I was able to cross-check with two bodies. I have access to a D80 and a D90 body as well to test with but didn't bother as the D70 support should be well baked at this point.
    Here are the numbers:
    Hardware: MBP 17" 2.4 "Santa Rosa" 4 gig ram
    OS: 10.5.5
    Aperture: 2.1.2
    RAW Support: 2.3 update
    Flash Media: Sandisk Ultra II and Extreme III 30mb/sec
    Flash Reader: Sandisk "14 in 1" OSX compatible (supposedly)
    D300 Firmware: 1.01 and 1.10 tested
    D300 image format: 12 bit RAW (.NEf) + Jpeg large/fine
    D70 Firmware: 2.0
    D70 image format: RAW (.NEF)
    So when can we expect a fix for this issue and will this require an export and re-import of all of the shots I have already imported?
    This is pretty serious as RAW file handling is the #1 feature of Aperture and Nikon is one of the top two brands of camera. This bug has broken multiple features in the software which should have set off red flags. This also broke support for an extremely old body. This is telling me that Apple has a QA problem in their test rig for Aperture.
    This is serious for me personally as this is a heavy use time of year for me and I'm not feeling good about this software. I'm a 1.0 user that upgraded so I have $400 into aperture at this point and I'm not certain it's worth it.
    Thanks

    Was your aperture a clean install or an upgrade like mine?
    Yes upgraded from 1.5.6 to 2.0 and now 2.1.2
    If an upgrade, did you move an old aperture library or did you export all of your pictures as projects and re-import them to a clean aperture library as I did?
    Library was upgraded when the Aperture opened it in V2.0 - no did not bother to do what you did.
    Did you purchase your Aperture 2.0 some time ago (when it first came out?) or in the last month as I did?
    When it first came out. If you purchased it last month, it should have most, if not all of the updates.
    Are you on PPC or Intel as I am?
    On Intel - in fact on MBP like you, just 15" instead of 17"
    Are you on a platform with a GPU or integrated graphics like I am (Shouldn't make a difference for this but...)?
    To be clear, MBP has a dedicated GPU and not integrated graphics like MB.
    Do you have the D300/D200 write something into the exif headers using the copyright or image comment as I do?
    No image comment but Copyright, new feature since firmware 1.1, on D300.
    Do you keep your machine meticulously clean or do you have lots of software installed like I do (xcode, office 2008, vmware, macports)?
    I try to keep it clean as much as possible. Meaning that I clean out temp and cache out and try to keep the system up to date. As for apps, yes, yes, Parallels instead, and no, respectively. Have lots of other sw installed.
    Do you have other pro apps like I do (final cut)?
    No final cut.
    Do you have iLife 08 installed like I do?
    Yes. Also iWork.
    Would you be willing to swap a raw image from your D300 with a raw image I have and try to cross-import into each others libraries to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is related to unique aperture installations (mine being a "bad" one) or that it is a setting/configuration issue on a per camera basis?
    Actually, this test does not do anything. I don't recall the exact thread but it is here in the Aperture Forum, that stated that if you use a card reader (which is what I do), then there are no issues importing D300 nef files. But if you hook up the camera direct, then the issues you have articulated exists.
    That might explain why some people are troubled by this and others are not.
    Btw, I have D70 as well and have no issue with the nef files from that camera as well.
    It seems to me that there is an issue. But there is also work around if you import via card reader. I realize one should be able to do whichever and not encounter any problems but I do believe it is not a major issue or deal breaker so to speak.
    Cheers

  • No new raw support in 3.4?

    As far as I can tell, the update to 3.4 and to iPhoto 9.4 offer no new support for recent cameras.  I still don't have Aperture support for the SONY RX 100 (I do in Lightroom, but not in any products that depend on Apple's raw support - iPhoto, Aperture, Pixelmator, etc..  I understand the no support for the Nikon D600; the camera just started shipping two days ago, but I can't understand why Apple hasn't upgraded the support for dozens of cameras released over the summer.
    Just a gripe.

    Gripe to them, they can do something about it.

  • Sony a700 dSLR, iPhoto RAW support

    I recently purchased a Sony a700 dSLR. jpeg files import into iPhoto without trouble. I want to try to use RAW files but they can not be imported. The camera supported list has the Sony a100 but not the a700. Is there a plan to support the a700 in the future on iPhoto or Aperture.

    Patrick
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No one on this board has any idea what Apple's plans for the future are. It's a user-to-user forum.
    RAW support is a function of the OS, not either application.
    Let them know you want it though:

  • Sony A330 Raw Support

    Is it possible to find out the timeline for when support for the Sony A330 raw support will be added to Lightroom? I thought it would be the same as the A300, but I keep getting an unsupported message when trying to import.

    The Sony A330 is a new model that was only announced mid May 2009, which explains why it isn't currently supported. Whether it is supported in the upcoming Camera Raw 5.4 and Lightroom 2.4 updates is not something only Adobe can comment on.

  • Is there Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii?

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more

  • 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

  • Sony NEX-3 Raw Support

    How is it possible that Aperture 3 does not support the raw format of the Sony NEX-3 camera? It's one of the hottest DSLR available right now do to it's compact size and has been on the market for nearly 6 months. No RAW support?
    I'd rather take my camera back than have to switch to lightroom which added support 3 months ago…
    Any suggestions? Anyone else have this camera? What can I do? I need a temporary work around, I MUST shoot in raw.

    You could batch convert the files with Adobe Camera Raw to DNG, or maybe the software provided will convert them DNG for you. http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
    I currently have a bunch of files that I converted to DNG from NEF when I was using Lightroom, and Aperture 3 reads them just fine.
    I know its a extra step, but until apple release a update to their RAW engine its a solution.
