Samsung GX-10 and Pentax K10D RAW support?

I recently bought a Samsung GX-10 thinking it was essentially the same camera as the Pentax K10D (which is it in hardware). However, it appears that the RAW images cannot be read in Aperture or iPhoto, even thought the K10D is listed as supported. The RAW files are .DNG which I thought was some kind of standard. To make matters worse, Samsung doesn't even provide any of it's own Mac software, so I currently have no way to read its RAW files at all. Doesn't anyone know if/when Apple will add support for the GX-10?
Thanks in advance.

yeah,, I know about raw data , and yes, wrong or not, the rendition of gx-10 pictures are very "bad" compared with other softwares and with my eyes, and I think that you can understand when i said "bad" no?, there aren't a wrong or correct in raw color but the people speaks about the wrong o correct colors all the time, i think that you understand when speak about bad colors, a bad WB , etc.
I know that i can make my own profile but is not easy, to generate a good profile I need a Macbeth ColorChecker or something like that for example and precise sources of light (like a tungsten) and taking account about that samsung cameras are "clones" of the pentax ones and that samsung shoots in DNG format (and not a propietary raw format) seems easy solve the problem about color interpretation of GX-10. With time I will buy a color-checker and try, but would be great a correct interpretaion of the own samsung colors
PD2: When i know about samsung "adobe-DNG" capacity, i didn't expect have problems with adobe soft and color intrepretation or something like that.
PD: Sorry , I don't speak english well, and so I can't express me very well , only basics

Canon 60D and Aperture/iPhoto - RAW support?

I realize this camera isn't supported yet, so my question is really how long does it typically take Apple to begin supporting new RAW files after a camera's release? It's been about two months for this one :/ Month? Two months? Three months? Is a pattern documented anywhere?
Photoshop has supported the 60D for about a month now. That's frustrating.

I would be interested in seeing anything history of release dates and RAW file support dates also. I am a newbie with only a S95 but also interested in when Apple will release RAW support for my camera [it came out approximately the same time as the 60D]. I have been advised to be patient...it will happen. My issue is that I download a 30 day trial of Aperture before I realized at the moment I can only try it out on jpegs, not RAW. I just hope it happens before my 30 trial runs out.
I did put in a request through the Aperture comment function but was advised it was probably unnecessary since Apple is well aware of new Canon and Nikon cameras.

Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

Hi,
I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
* NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
This requires a fix ASAP
Martin

Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
Best,

Pentax K10D Users

Hello,
As of now, I know that Aperture does not support the Pentax K10D RAW formats (neither DNG or PEF). I was wondering if anyone had a work-around to somehow convert the DNG images off the camera to a more universal version of DNG that may work in Aperture? I attempted using Adobe's DNG converter, but the files it produces show up as tiny jpgs in Aperture, and export as tiny jpegs as well. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Although some parts that make up CoreImage need updating for getting new cameras to work, a whole system update isn't required per se, as Apple proved with their Digital Camera RAW Support Update (www.apple.com/aperture) - it provided support for new cameras outside of any system update.
I think the reason for the long waiting time is that Apple wants the best renderings they can achieve, and fine-tuning the various parameters takes time. It took them more than 6 months to support the Pentax *ist DS but the results are, in my opinion, well worth the wait.
Since most new camera models by Nikon and Canon are now supported by Aperture, I'd guess that the Pentax K10D and in particular the K100D are up next.
Cheers,
Karl

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.

Can I upgrade the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 to version 8.3 or 8.4, so it supports my Nikon D5300?

I just upgraded my camera - and the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 is not able to support it. Can I upgrade the Camera Raw plugin, or is Adobe going to force me to buy an upgrade to PSE 12 or another of their products?

You'd better complain to Nikon... Just like other camera manufacturers who issue new raw formats for each and every new camera. Adobe and all other software companies have to reverse engineer each new format. Those manufacturers could use the open and public DNG format (a few do).
Adobe answer to that problem is to provide a free software, the DNGconverter which can batch convert a folder of raw files to the universal DNG raw format which your old Elements version can read.

Can I use the Pentax K20D raw profile for the Samsung GX-20?

Hi,
I have just got a Samsung Gx-20 (clone of a Pentax K20d). When I import Raw images to aperture they are extremely flat and colourless. I can import the same raw images to Adobe Lightroom and get excellent results so I know the data that I want is in the raw file.
Since I was getting good results from the pentax k10d profile in aperture I'm sure aperture is capable, but doesn't know the camera.
Is there some kind of plist or somesuch that I can edit so that the system will process the raw files from my camera as though they came from a k20d, and therefore hopefully solve my problem.
I don't want to migrate to lightroom as it doesn't have the ilife integration I enjoy.
Thanks in advance.

there is an easier way:
1. Go to the RAW Fine Tuning Brick in the Adjustments Inspector with one of the images from the K20D selected, and- remembering the original setting- change any setting.
2. click on the cog/gear and choose save as preset and name it.
3. Select one of the images from the gx20, click on the cog/gear again and choose the preset you just created.
4. Now change back the setting you changed in step 1, click on the cog/gear again and choose "Save as Camera Default.
I swear, it took five times as long to type that as will to actually do it.

.DNG support for Pentax K10D

Has anyone heard whether Aperture is going to support DNG for the Pentax K10D anytime in the near future?
It's a bummer not being able to just hook up the camera and go. The converter in CS2 is getting old and I'd like to be able to preview and back them up as I go.
Note: I tend to take rumors seriously...feel free to muse.

by the way, instead of asking users who actually
don't have any true insight into the Aperture
development team's agenda about support for your
camera, have you thought of sending a request through
the Aperture feedback web site? this will get the
idea in front of a lot of people who are actually
working on the application
Camera raw stuff is not handled by Aperture, and therefore I assume also not by the Aperture team. The camera raw facilities are system wide, to the whole OS and the services are provided through the Apple Digital Camera Raw updates such as this...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawsupportupdate101universal .html
These updates are global to OSX and provide the camera raw services to any application running under OSX. Aperture is a consumer of these services in the same way that any other application is.

Support for Pentax K10D - Estimated date?

Any guesses as to when the next update will take place?
I'm using a trial version of aperture, porefer it to the Adobe line, but Adobe sure is quick with its upgrades. It just added the K10D for RAW support while I'm still waiting for Apple.
Thanks.

We K10D users are still in limbo. I tried the demo of Lightroom 1.0. Works pefrectly with K10D PEF files!! So does the Adobe DNG Converter (3.7) application now on Adobe's website.
Alas, I have tried every option for converting Pentax K10D PEF to an Adobe dng and still can't see them in Aperture.
Please Apple, save me from Adobe!

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

RAW support for Pentax K3

When will Aperture RAW support be updated for Pentax K3 be added? It's already on Adobe Lightroom....!

I my exeprience, I'd say when it's ready and not a moment sooner.
Lightroom is always pretty quick off the mark with support, but sometimes that carries a quality cost, like happened with the Fuji X100 and X-Trans sensors. Lightroom's support came out first, but Aperture's came out better.
I have a similar frustration having just bought a Sony A7. But I simply shoot raw+JPEG and use the JPEGs until the raw support is ready.
A side benefit of this approach is it makes you get to know the camera settings a little better in order to make the best JPEG.
If I have an emergency and really messed up a shot and need the raw to recover it, I use the raw converter supplied with the camera to make a better conversion in a TIFF and then add that to Aperture.

RAW support for Pentax istDS2

Would like to buy aperature, but istDS2 not supported. Is this a possible solution? (from http://ok1000.blogspot.com/2006/06/waiting-for-aperture-and-iphoto.html)
If you have OS 10.4.6 or later, but don't have support for your Pentax's .PEF format, the trick is to dig down to the .PLIST settings text file that Apple's RAW support looks into when opening RAW files, and to create a custom entry for your camera, such as the *ist DS. Brought to you by Karl Geiger from the Aperture Forums, with my special thanks to Peter Gnemmi, here's a recipe for getting your DS .PEFs into iPhoto and Aperture.
Keen to try this, but don't want to screw up the application - suggestions?

Why don't you post you question in the Aperture
forum?
As I understand it, recognizing the specific camera
is part of the system recognizing this particular
camera, which would then likely cover iPhoto as well
as Aperature
Thanks for the reply...new to this forum.

Pentax RAW Support

I thought the support list notes the RAW image file format for the Pentax K100D was supported, but when I import my images I get the "Unsupported Image Format" message. The list on Aperture's page is supposed to note cameras that are supported, with asterisked models getting "optimized support". Am I reading things wrong, or am I missing something? Only an amateur, but dealing with RAW files thru all the crazy workarounds is already old, and I haven't owned the camera for 1 month! Thoughts?

Based on my experience with newer Canon products still not being supported by Aperture I would suggest you find another way to manage your RAW files. It could be a very long time before Apple decides to support your camera.
Here's a freeware program that does a better job supporting new cameras than Apple -

You may want to try this out and see if it support Pentax.
