Rebel SL1 RAW files unsupported by Aperture?

I am having trouble importing CR2 files from my EOS100D/Rebel SL1. Aperture is reporting that the file type is unsupported. I'm guessing that it's due to it being a new file format? Does anyone have a solution for this as yet? many thanks in advance.

The list of all cameras currently supported is here:   http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
I don't see your new camera on the list.
Until it will be supported by Aperture you have several options:
Shoot raw & jpeg, and work with the jpegs as masters, until the raw support will be available, then switch to the raw master as original file.
Develope the raw with the software that came with your camera and convert it to another supported lossless format - e.g. tiff. Use the tiff in Aperture.
Convert your raw to dng with Adobe's free dng converter and work with the dng files in Aperture.

  • How to open Canon Rebel SL1 Raw files in Photoshop CS 5.5? [was: HI]

    Hi! have the adobe creative suite 5.5: Master collection and I own a Canon EOS rebel SL1.  I downloaded the camera raw plugin but it won'tl et me take my photos into photoshop. Its says my camera is not supported but on the camera list it is. I need to get my pictures edited so any help would be much appreciated!!!

    The Rebel SL1 is supported by Camera Raw 7.4 and higher. I believe CS 5.5 uses Camera Raw version 6 and therefore does not support the SL1. Convert your raw files to DNG with the DNG converter found here:
    DNG Converter 8.8:

  • Convert RAW Files in Your Aperture Database to Adobe DNG Files

    The following describes how to convert all the RAW images in your Aperture database from manufacturer formats, such as Sony's ARW and Canon's CR2, to Adobe's DNG while retaining all the Adjustments already applied to your RAW files.  In the example below I am assuming that your Aperture Library has ARW and CR2 files.  These steps work with the latest version of Aperture, being Version 3.3, and have not been tested with earlier versions (in fact, it probably will not work because the database structure changed in 3.3 - however, this means that the steps below can also be applied to your iPhoto library).  The steps are:
    1. Within Finder select the Aperture Library and Secondary Click to bring up the Shortcut Menu.  From this select "Show Package Contents"; this will open a Window showing all the files/directories contained within your Aperture Library.
    2. Drag the "Masters" folder out of the Package and place it on your Desktop.  The purpose of this step is so that Applications, such as Adobe DNG Converter, can "see" the "Masters" folder, which they cannot do if it is located within the Aperture Library Package.
    3. Run the Adobe DNG Converter, select the above "Masters" folder with the "Select Folder" button, make sure you have selected the option "Save in the Same Location", it is also a good idea to select the option "Skip source image if the destination already exists", check your Preferences then select the "Convert" button.
    4. Adobe DNG Converter will now convert all the RAW files to Adobe DNG files and save them in the same location as your existing RAW files.  Once complete, take a note of (a) the number of files converted and (b) the types of files converted, such as if the conversion includes ARW, CR2, NEF files etc.  In this example I will assume that the converter only found ARW and CR2 files; if your system is different then modify the steps below to make sure it covers all the RAW file types converted in your particular system.
    5. Select the "Masters" folder and in the Finder Window Search Field search for all the files that end in .ARW and .CR2 (this filename search list should match the types of files found by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(b) above).  The number of files returned by the search must match the number of files recorded by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(a) above.  Do NOT put the .DNG files in your search criteria.  Select all the files found in the search and move them to the Trash.  This will delete all the original manufacturer's RAW files from your Aperture Library leaving behind all the new DNG files.
    6. Move the "Masters" folder on your Desktop back to the root directory of the Aperture Library Package Content directory.
    7. Select the Finder Window containing the Aperture Library Package Contents.
    8. If there is a file called "ApertureData.xml" then open it with a text editor.  Search and Replace ".arw" with ".dng", ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (note, do not use the " marks in your search).  Make sure you cover all the file types incorporated in your particular system.  Save the "ApertureData.xml" file.
    9. Traverse to the Database/apdb directory.  Select the "BigBlobs.apdb" file and open it with a Hex editor.  In this example I will use Hex Fiend by Ridiculous Fish (see http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/).  Once the file is open perform a Find and Replace ensuring you are finding and replacing Text and not Hex.  In Hex Fiend this means selecting Edit/Find from the menu and then selecting the "Text" button to the top/left of the window.  In your Find/Replace field you will need to find ".arw" and replace it with ".dng", make sure you select "Replace All" (note, do not use the " marks in your search).  Do exactly the same for ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (and whatever particular RAW files were in your system).
    10. Perform exactly the same steps in (9) for the files "History.apdb", "ImageProxies.apdb", "Library.apdb" and "Properties.apdb".
    That is it, your Aperture Library now contains DNG files instead of your original manufacturer files while still retaining all the Adjustments originally made in Aperture to those manufacturer files.  Of course, you can repeat the same step and replace your DNG files with the original RAW manufacturer files if you wish.  This process works because:
    1. Aperture does not store the Adjustments in the RAW files, it keeps these in its internal SQLite database.
    2. By using a Hex Editor you (a) don't have to play with SQLite to gain access to Aperture's data and (b) because you are replacing text that has exactly the same number of characters you are not invalidating the format of the underlying data file - this is why you use a Hex Editor instead of a simple text editor.
    Think of Aperture as being a repository that holds Adjustments which then link to the original RAW source.  Therefore, the above process simply replaces your RAW source and therefore all the Aperture Adjustments are still valid; same Adjustments, new source.  In case you ask, no, you cannot transfer Adjustments in and out of Aperture because there is no standard to transform adjustments between different photographic applications.

    A rather involved method, David.
    I am sure it works, and compliments for figuring it out, but I think one critical step is missing in your workflow: Before you begin - backup, backup, backup!
    And I think, all the edits in your database that you are doing so diligently, is what you bought Aperture for to do for you, why do it yourself?
    I convert selected raw files this way - without manually patching the Aperture Library:
    Export the originals of the raw images that I want to convert.
    Run dng-converter.
    Import the converted originals back, flag them,  and move them to the project they came from.
    Sort the project by capture date, so that identical images are show side by side.
    Then I use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer all adjustments and tags from the original raw to the dng copy. I check, if some edits are left to do, then delete the original.
    It may take a little longer than your method, but this way all edits in the library are done by Aperture, and I am protected from accidental slips when editing the property list files. That requires a very careful work.
    Patching the database files inside the library may be justified as a last ressort, when you need to fix and recue a broken Aperture library, and none of the provided tools is working, but not as a routine operation to do batch conversion of image files. It is very error prone. One wrong entry in the library files and your Aperture Library may be unreadable.

  • Cannot open Canon Rebel XT raw files in Photoshop CS

    Get the following error message:
    "Could not complete your request because this version of Photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module."
    I have updated to the 2.4 camera raw plugin and placed it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\File Formats. When I go into CS to help->about plugin -> there are two camera raws that show up. The first is labeled 3.7 (2007) and the other is labeld 2.4 (2005). Not sure where the 3.7 version is coming from, but also not sure if it matters.
    What do I need to do to get CS to enable the reading of the Digital Rebel XT raw files?
    Thanks!
    Gary

    Thanks, Rob.
    I download the images via a usb cord -- simply going into C3, clicking on "Import." The software recognizes my camera, but the message I get is: "Although RAW or animated images exist in the camera, this software only displays JPEG images." C3 then proceeds to download the JPEG images but not the RAW images.
    I should point out that I am using a trial version. I have been considering purchasing C3, with being able to work in raw format one of the primary reasons for doing so. Before purchasing, I decided to download the trial version for 30 days. Is it possible that the trial version does not have all of the same capacity -- including RAW editing -- that the regular version does? I was under the impression it was the full Photoshop C3 version.

  • Elements 11 and rebel 5t raw files

    I have photoshop elements 11 and organizer to manage my photos. I recently purchased a canon rebel 5t. Elements 11 will not read the new camera raw files. I do not see an update that would support these raw files. I have installed adobe dng converter, but frankly that is cumbersome. Does anyone know of a way to use elements 11 with canon rebel 5t raw files?  thanks

    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.4

    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • 10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

    Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
    Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
    Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
    Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

    I have the same exact issue.
    I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
    Also the G9 raws are not working.
    Finally after 3 months it's still not working
    I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
    Are the D3, D300 raws working?

  • Raw files unsupported by Apple

    I have a camera whose raw files are not supported by Apple MAC OS (ie not in iPhoto nor in Aperture). But raw development is provided for these files by Lightroom.  Can I specify Lightroom as my external editor for iPhoto and import these files into iPhoto despite the fact that they are labeled as 'unsupported format'?

    You can't because Lightroom isn't an editor. An editor edits the files. LIghtroom, like iPhoto and Aperture, doesn't. Because these apps work losslessly the original file is never touched, and processing means that a new file is created. So, you would need to import the shot to Lightroom, process it and the export it to a new file, and after that import it to iPhoto.
    But that raises a bigger question - if you have LR, why are you using iPhoto? They both do the same job (albeit in different ways) and LR is much more powerful.

  • Raw file support in Aperture 3.2.2

    Have recently purchased a Fujifilm EXR 600 compact camera. It can capture jpeg and RAW, but Aperture does not seem to recognise the RAW format - "Unsupported Image format"; neither does iPhoto recognise RAW. Is there any way to access and process these files?

    Apple have historically been rather unresponsive with regard to supporting new camera RAW formats. Until they support your camera (if they ever do) probably you have to use the software that came with the camera (or some other 3rd party software) to convert the RAW file to a TIF and import that into Aperture.
    Good luck.

  • ARW raw files "unsupported format"

    For a year I've been importing Sony ARW files into Aperture 3 (from an RX100M2). I recently got the M3, which uses, I believe, the same ARW files, and I have periodic problems with imports. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get unsupported image format error.
    Has anyone else had this problem.
    Thanks

    Apple has said that Aperture will be supported at least through the life of Yosemite which is scheduled to relase in the fall of this year. So given Apple's current life cycle on OS it is safe to assume Yosemite will be around for a year after its release so given all that Aperture should still be useable for another year and a half at least.
    Raw file decoding is done by the OS and will continue to be supported in the new OS so again it is safe to assume that Aperture will b make use of new raw file updates.
    What version of the OS and Aperture are you currently running?

  • Problems with Viewing Canon EOS Rebel t1i Raw Files in Adobe PS and Bridge CS 4

    I am unable to preview the thumnails of my raw files from my Canon EOS Rebel T1i camera in Adobe Photoshop or Bridge (CS4)?  I've looked everywhere for a plugin? Am I unable to view these files in these programs. Please help. Thanks!

    You prolly need to update the installed Camera Raw plug-in...See the Camera Raw product page for more info on downloading and installing an update.

  • Can't open Canon Rebel T5i raw file in elements 10

    I am trying to open a raw file (CR2) in my Elements 10 program, but I keep getting error messages that it's the "wrong type of file".
    I've looked around & downloaded the plug-in that was supposed to fix that, but it still isn't working.
    What am I missing??
    PS - I am also using Windows 7, the camera raw plug in version is 6.7.0.339, and my camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T5i
    *edited to add*
    so I just followed this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5316&fileID=4946
    because it looked like my camera raw plug in needed updating, but I got an installation error code: U44M2P7

    my camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T5i
    The Rebel T5i was first supported by Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Elements 11 and later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Unfortunately Elements 10 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7. It's not compatible with Camera Raw 7.4 so it'll never be able to open T5i Raw files.
    If you want to open T5i Raw files in Elements, you'll have to upgrade to Elements 12.
    Alternatively, if you want to stick with Elements 10, you can download the free DNG converter from Adobe, convert all T5i Raw files to DNGs. Then open the DNGs in Elements 10.

  • Exporting raw files out of Aperture

    How does one go about getting the raw files back out of aperture? I know that when opening the external editor it opens up in Tiff or PDS. I want to get my original Raw file out to being working with out the processing of the raw file in Aperture. Can any one help me?

    Option 1. File>Export>Export Master... (also available by Right-clicking/Control-clicking on the selected thumbnails or by pressing Command-Shift-S)
    Option 2. File>Relocate Master... and start storing the images as referenced files outside the Library.
    Option 3. Use the search box in the top right of the forum pages...

  • Best iMac I can afford for Raw files work in Aperture 3

    I'm looking to purchase a new iMac soon. I work mostly with a lot of RAW Nikon files with Aperture and I do a lot of adjustments with them. I'm debating between the 21.5"  iMac but upgrading the processor to the i7, or, getting the larger 27", but can't affford the i7 with that model, would have to stick with the i5 processor. The xtra sceen real estate is nice of course, but would it be better to have the i7 processor since I could always add a second monitor to the 21.5" iMac for additional screen area for menus, etc...Would adding that second monitor affect my processing and/or graphics speeds at all, somewhat negating the xtra power from the i7 processor, or, would adding that 2nd monitor not really affect my processing and graphics power at all?
    Also, the 21" and 27" base models have the same graphics card with 512mb vram, is that ok for Aperture with RAW file also?
    Thanks!

    All 2011 macs have nice performance improvements over previous models. However Aperture is a hardware hog: GPU, CPU, i/o, RAM. Those intending Aperture as an important app will do far better with the strongest available hardware in a given category.
    The GPU will be key as to which iMacs are stronger, after that the CPU. RAM should be 8 GB via third party.
    The second display will suck (some) power from the less-than-best GPU in the lower end iMacs. Note that every Mac is really a synergy of its parts to run Aperture, so it is hard to say how much effect a second display has onoverall Aperture performance, but I would not worry about it unless using a Macbook Air. I have a 17" MBP plus $300 Viewsonic VP2365wb and the setup works great. IMO for graphics desktop work a second display is a huge benefit.
    IMO hard drives are obsolete as boot drives. If I was buying an iMac (I will not, preferring just-as-strong mobile Macbook Pros with their inexpensive SSDs instead) and could not afford the expensive iMac SSD configuration I would get an i5 model and have OWC retrofit an SSD into the Superdrive slot.
    Note that iMac hard drives are not upgradable except by Apple so you might as well order a large hard drive now.
    BareFeats.com has all kinds of relative graphics performance tests up (more coming), including this link:
