Re: RAW format images in Aperture

I am STILL having problems displaying RAW format images in Aperture 3.1.2, they turn almost monochrome dark green after fully loading. No one seems to have an answer. Have seen a few postings on mac blog sites but no answers to the problem, so its not just me ! iPhoto does not have this problem, but would like to use the other editing facilities on Aperture. Am using a Sony A550, which IS on the Apple list of supported cameras !
Don't want to have to buy yet another photo editing software.

That definitely sounds like a bug, but I don't use that camera to be able to have a second (or is it third? ) verification of the problem.
Have you checked the console log to see if Aperture is choking on something? Not sure you'd be able to do anything with that information, but it might lead somewhere.
Other than that, the only thing I can suggest is including your camera model and "RAW" in the subject of a new post. I'm pretty sure the problem is with your camera's RAW format, as opposed to being a general Aperture problem. Maybe a more direct query would help get a better answer?

RAW format images

Someone please help ! don't want to have to buy another app.

Impossible to help without knowing the camera model producing these images.

When I edit my RAW format images I cannot find the resulting jpeg image in my IPhoto library

When I edit my RAW images (.neff format) I cannot the resulting jpeg image in my IPhoto 11 library.

Thanks. So it is probably worth upgrading to Aperture?
And you say that because? While Aperture has more features and more capabilities than iPhoto - especially in working with RAW - this is not one - depending on what yo do with previews in Aperture it may be even more difficult to use the edited photos incorrectly - iPhoto is simple - just correctly access the edited photo as TD suggested
To access the resulting jpeg you can export in any format except Original, drag to the desktop or use a media browser
Same same for Aperture

Fullview RAW/JPG Images in Aperture appear fractured and/or solid black

Hey guys,
I'm very close to throw something out of the window.
I changed from iPhoto to Aperture 3.5.1 a few month ago and imports from my 400D Canon and iPhone/iPad worked finde until recently, when Aperture decided not to show thefull view anymore. It does show it either solid black or cramped full of pixel fragments from other programs.
Below you can see how the mess looks like. The pictures were pixled by me after the Screenshot
I already tried rebuilding the Database, backed the pictures up to our NAS and reinstalled Aperture. Nothing works. Thumbnails in Aperture seem to look fine and the CR2 Files are being opened in Photoshop just like always, eventhough Preview seems to have the same problem.
I'd be so glad if any of you had a solution to my little problem ;_;

I changed from iPhoto to Aperture 3.5.1 a few month ago and imports from my 400D Canon and iPhone/iPad worked finde until recently, when Aperture decided not to show thefull view anymore.
Did you recently install the new Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.05 ?
You can check this in the "About" panel from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
If you now are having the most recent raw support, did the problem occur directly after installing it?
If reimporting did not help, try to create a new Aperture library (File > Switch to Library > other/new) and try to import a RAW file into the new library. Does that work?

Adobe phtoshop CS5 Extended Couldnot open my Raw Format Images.

Have anyone could help me about this question?
I purchased Photoshop CS5 Extended and lightroom 3 together.
My Camera is Canon Rebel T2i.
My Lightroom can open Raw file; but I tried Photoshop many times to open Raw file-CR2. it doesnot work at all. I download camera raw 6.3 to my computer, but it couldnot RUN for me. I checked camera surpported list. I know my camera by 5.7 or 6.1 not 6.3
but 6.1 doesnot run either after downloaded.
Now I am cofused why so much trouble to use the software?
After I EDIT images from Lightroom3, I want to edit in to photoshop, but lightroom says only compatible with camera 6.3.
I am very sad now about this.

Now It works for me.
Thank you very much for
all of your help. I went to a computer store, they helped me to updated my PS CS5 to camera RAW 6.3.

RAW Format Not Recognized

I just bought a new Pentax K100D Super over the holidays. Love the camera.
I am shopping around for software to use for digital developing. I have downloaded both trail versions of Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture (v1.5.6).
I want to use the RAW format for my pictures and it works fine with Lightroom, but Aperture does not seem to like the Pentax RAW format (.PEF). Aperture shows the image thumbnail before I import off the camera but once I have imported the pictures off the camera, Aperture does not recognize them, reporting "unsupported image format" According to the Aperture support website, it is supposed to support the RAW format of the Pentax K100D Super.
I have tried restarting Aperture, the computer, deleted the Aperture .plist file, formating the memory card in the camera.
I had a K100D (non-Super) for one day before I returned it for the Super, Aperture does recognize the RAW pictures taken with the non-Super version on the K100D.
I don't know what else to try, does anyone have any ideas. I like the Aperture software but at this point looks like I'll have to go the Lightroom.
Please help.

Yes, I have done that and it works, so thats a relief, though its not a perfect solution because I have to do some more steps to my workflow, it works, so it saved my day. I used the adobe DNG Converter to do the conversion. At first it didn`t work, so you need to make sure that you have the right settings: not compressed dng and not embed the original raw file into the dng. But now it works great, the only thing you don`t get is auto noise reduction in the raw fine tuning. I tried a automator workflow I found, but A2 wouldn`t accept the dng files, so I have to investigate that further.
So with the improved performance and new features I will upgrade to Aperture 2.0.

HT201071 RAW format Problem with NIKON D600 after updating to maverick.

We still have problems after this update.
Pictures in RAW format imported to Aperture are brilliant as they are with the NIKON D600. Imported Pictures with the NIKON D800 are aweful. They are kind of grey without any saturation. To convert every single Picture to JPEG brings back their brilliance and colors. We have consulted the apple and the aperture support, but they dind't have any solution to fix our issue.
Any ideas?

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Problems reading RAW format after update 6.03

I have problems reading RAW format images into Iphoto 9.6 after update 6.03 or maybe earlier updates (have not imported for a few months). The images show up like half, black or partly distorted. I use a Canon 5D mk2 camera. The images looks okey when read into a PC so I don´t think it is the camera or cables. It has been working very good before! I use a Powerbook pro 13 late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Try downgrading back to 6.02 by following the directions in this post by léonie:

Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
in response to ceylin.e
[DocumentBodyStart:3bf5afd7-94e9-4fb4-acfa-7aa13198efec]
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Blurred S-RAW images in Aperture 3.3.2

Beginner here so please have patience if I'm doing something stupidly wrong :
I downloaded some holiday photos from my new EOS7D into Aperture 3.3.2 (latest update) running on OSX10.8, the images are canon S-RAW format which I believe is supported by this version of aperture. The images imported fine but when I view them in viewer they are very blurry. So much so that I thought the camera or lens were at fault or that I was viewing a low resolution version of the photo. All the photo's exhibit the same problem but some are more obvious than others.
To check my equipment I imported the same photos direct from the camera into Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. The images are pin sharp.
Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong :
1. I don't think I'm importing low res images from the camera into Aperture, the aperture image info says the images are RAW (but not S-RAW), and 13MB in size which seems to be correct for S-RAW.
2. Could my version of Aperture be set to view low res or JPG versions of the S-RAW images, if so how do I change it.
3. Are there any known issues with S-RAW (CR2) files and aperture ?
I believe this is a new problem, I looked back at some S-RAW images from my old 40D (same L series 16-35mm lens) viewed in aperture and they look fine
Any help most welcome.
Mike B.

Kirby,
Plenty of testing but even more confusion I'm afraid :
1. updated OSX to the latest version 10.8.1, no change to the blurred effect.
2. updated the 7D firmware to latest version 2.0, no change to the blurred effect.
took some new photos in various formats and imported using the new updated versions :
3. new photo's in RAW, blurred effect dissapeared. Images from DPP viewed at 100% were identical when compared to Aperture at 100%
4. new photos in M-RAW, blurred effect was present quite noticeable when images were compared at 100% size.
5. photo's in S-RAW, blurred effect was very obvious at all zoom levels especially 100%
6. imported the same photo's into iphoto 9.3, iphoto mimicked Aperture ie :
RAW photos were identical in iphoto and DPP, but M-RAW and S-RAW both viewed blurred in iphoto compared to Canon DPP. This one threw me, I had expected iphoto to view correctly in all instances.
If iphoto hadn't given me the same problem I was going to attempt to re-install Aperture (not quite sure how), but if both iphoto and aperture give the same results, I suspect something more fundamental is going wrong.
Mike B.
I tried getting a screen grab for you, I'm not sure if it will work, image on the left is DPP at 100%, image on the right is AP3 at 100%, I cannot get the image on the right to look any better than this in AP3.

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.

EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

From the raw tech spec page:
Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.
URL: http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/
Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....
EOS 350D with firmware version 1.0.2

Ok, messing around in the raw.plist fixed this. Is not an Aperture issue, more an OS X 10.4.3 issue --> http://minimal.cx/2005/11/01/make-os-x-1043-understand-canon-eos-350d-raw-files/

Aperture 3.1.2 is unable to import .tif(16bit) format images

I am failing to import .tif files stored in external hard dirve. The image was created by Sigma DSLR(model SD15; X3F RAW), and adjusted using Sigma-provided image adjustment program and saved as 16bit TIFF format. In Aperture 3, I see SIGMA folder itself but Aperture 3 does not show individual image files inside SIGMA folder even though I clicked the triangle arrow to open individual image files to be imported. So "import checked" button can't be clicked.

Yes! The problem has been solved. Thank you for your help!!

Importing RAW images from Aperture into iMovie

Hello. I'm trying to create a slideshow using iMovie, but apparently it only imports jpeg format images. Most of my photos are RAW images, and I can't seem to figure out a way to get iMovie to import jpeg versions. Can anyone help?

Aperture 3.4.1

Have just gone through the sequence again - using file - open and then locating the aperture library via applications. The message I get is that adobe does not recognise this type of file. I am sure I must be missing something, but cannot figure out what it is - any ideas.

I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture. How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

See the list of supported raw formats:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
The footnote ** for the cameras EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4** says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.
