Sigma x3f file format

The DNG profile in have created for my SD14 is not available in either Lightroom 2.1 or Camera Raw 4.6 when I edit a x3f file. The only choice available is "embedded". If I convert the x3f file to a dng file, then both Lightroom 2.1 and Camera Raw 4.6 allow me to choose the new profile. Is there a solution to this issue without having to convert all of my images to the dng format? I am running Vista 64 ultimate on an Inter q6600 processor with 8 gig of ram.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there any chance that this might change in the future?

  • Using Sigma DP1 Raw X3F files via Adobe DNG Converter to Aperture 2.1.2

    I wish to use Aperture 2.1.2 with my Sigma DP1 raw ( X3F format) photos.
    I used the latest Adobe DNG converter 5.1.0.30 to successfully convert Sigma DP1 X3F to DNG format files. After importing the DNG files into an Aperture directory, they were not an acceptable file format, and thus I could not use them.
    Does this mean that Aperture is not reading the DNG file correctly or Adobe has got it wrong with their DNG conversion of the X3F file format ?
    Do I need to wait for an Aperture update to fix the problem of using the X3F file format ? Is there a solution around in using Aperture with Sigma X3F raw photos ?

    Aperture does not currently support Sigma X3F or linear DNG (only raw DNG), and Adobe's DNG Converter can only yield a linear DNG from an X3F. So your only choices right now are to use a different product such as Lightroom which does support X3F, or use the supplied Sigma Photo Pro software to generate 16 bit TIFFs which you can then import into Aperture. Because Sigma Photo Pro is unstable and slow on Macs, I've been effectively forced to use Lightroom. Lightroom is a capable product, but it lacks the elegance of Aperture, so I remain dimly hopeful that Apple will eventually support X3F, and somewhat more hopeful that it will at the very least eventually support linear DNG.

  • Issue w/ ACR v6.x/v5.x and WB settings stored in .X3F files by Sigma SPP converter

    Hi,
    if I will use Sigma SPP raw converter (3.5.x or 4.x) to work with .X3F raw files and select "monochrome" WB there and then quit SPP leaving that setting (SPP stores processing settings in .X3F files, almost like you can do w/ .DNG files) then Adobe ACR v5.x / 6.x for whatever reason will allow to process .X3F as a greyscale image, I mean ACR will have a lot of controls disable (like WB, vibrance, saturation, ...). So I need to go back to SPP and change WB settings to anything different from "monochrome" to be able to process .X3F in ACR normally. Can it be fixed or Adobe is using some Sigma provided SDK to open .X3F files and locked into what Sigma says it can or can't ? Because it looks stupid that settings used in Sigma's raw converter are affecting what ACR can or can't do !
    Thank you.

    I recently processed some pics inside SPP, and it's amazing how much
    better the colors are (a bit too saturated sometimes), I can't get the
    same results at all in ACR/LR.
    when we are talking about "better" it is a matter of personal preferences... and then you can create your own profiles for ACR, you can't for SPP... then you ought to try SilkyPix for Sigma raws.
    I was under the impression that adobe was using a black box provided by
    Sigma to read the files (a lot of things point to it : the monochrome WB
    issue, the mandatory noise reduction...)
    I doubt it is a black box - they should have a source code, just may be they signed an agreement which limits what they can do ? which makes me wonder whether ISL (SilkyPix) has the same arrangement with Sigma as SilkyPix does not have for example "monochrome" issue (like ACR which gets stuck into B/W mode if the raw file was left marked as monochrome by SPP)... or ISL reverse engineered the file format and wrote the code all by itself ?
    PS:
    Sigma .X3F @ ISO3200 NR by ACR
    vs the same by SilkyPix w/o NR and NR done in postprocessing

  • 4.1 rc1 - unable to read monochrome Sigma DP X3F files

    Sigma DP2s
    LR 4.1 rc1
    I import .X3F files to LR catalogue from SD card via card reader.
    LR reads and allows me to edit these OK
    If I then edit the .X3F files using Sigma Photo Pro  v5.1, and change WB to "Monochrome", then save the modification to the raw file (in SPP5.1), and then attempt to look at it in LR in the develop module,  I get the error "There was a problem working with the file"..
    Followed by "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo."
    I have tried this a number of times with different X3F image files with the same result.
    I have tried (separately) synchronizing, deleting and re-importing the file with the same result.
    LR3 worked perfectly in this regard - if a .X3F file was imported, then changed using SPP5.1 to mono, the effect would be immediately seen in LR without errors.
    NB If I then set the WB back from monochrome in SPP5.1, LR is able to work with theimage file again with noerrors.
    I have also encountered similar error messages when trying to export jpgs from edited .tiff files created using a film scanner, which may be related. When or if I can reproduce that I will start a separate thread.

    Lightroom is raw conversion software and once your camera is supported it will be able to process the raw data. However if you use other raw conversion software to process the raw data or partially process the raw file you have altered the raw file and Lightroom will no longer be able to process. With raw data you can only choose one chef.

  • X3F files supported on the iPad

    anybody knows if the X3F Raw files (Sigma/Foveon) are supported by any application on the iPad? And in case they are, any idea how fast the iPad cpu actually is opening/processing my Sigma SD10 files?!? Thanks

    Hello,
    I have two iPads. I just purchased the Sigma DP1x that was released in September 2010. Having the Sigma Raw format ( X3F ) recognized and supported would be an amazing workflow asset.
    From Sigma on their intent: "The old YCbCr 4:2:2 format was designed for efficient signal transmission, and not for high-quality output. The new RAW format is intended to preserve the high-presence, high-quality, accurate, and balanced data" coming off new camera technology that makes for "truly emotional images and opens up new creative channels."

  • Aperture 3.0.2 still no Sigma X3F

    Well, not much more to say. Still disappointing. No support for Sigma RAW files .x3f
    And, yes I had reported this request to apple more than one time. Now updated to 10.6.3.
    cheers
    f

    This is not an answer.
    I think Sigma can help apple to support that sensor.
    For me the DP series from SIGMA are so good camera. in fact they are slow. But you get a real camera without too much gadget on it. Just a camera "back to the roots"
    An other option should be that Aperture could load the file and edditing will be done in sigma pro photo. But for that we need to have some automation made from apple

  • File Format options not appearing in the Save As dialog box - InDesign CC

    So i was working with a legacy file (an .eps from illustrator4) that i placed into InDesign CC, and when i went to export as a jpg, the option to choose a different file format from the bottom of the dialog box was gone. Did i hit some crazy shortcut to remove the options, or is this a bug that occurs when working with certain legacy files? I've restarted InDesign, rebooted my laptop, deleted my Adobe preferences, reset my adobe warning dialogs, and I still cant export or save as any other file format because the option doesnt appear. And it doesnt matter if i create a new file or open an existing one. Please help. See the pic below. No option for file format on the bottom of the dialog box.

    Thank you very much!
    Reinstalling worked, but i'd still kinda like to know what caused this problem & if this will continue to happen. To me, reinstalling is pretty much like having to reboot anytime you go to IT -- they dont know what the problem is, they just know how to fix/stop it.

  • How to export table contents in xml file format through SQL queries

    hi,
    i need to export the table data in to xml file format. i got it through the GUI what they given.
    i'm using Oracle 10g XE.
    but i need to send the table name from Java programs. so, how to call the export commands from programming languages through. is there any sql commands to export the table contents in xml format.
    and one more problem is i created each transaction in two tables. for example if we have a transaction 'sales' , that will be saved in db as
    sales1 table and sales2 table. here i maintained and ID field in sales1 as PK. and id as FK in sales2.
    i get the combined data with this query,
    select * from sales1 s1, sales2 s2 where s1.id=s2.id order by s1.id;
    it given all the records, but i'm getting two ID fields (one from each table). how to avoid this. here i dont know how many fields will be there in each table. that will be known at runtime only.
    the static information is sales1 have one ID field with PK and sales2 will have one ID filed with FK.
    i need ur valuable suggestions.
    regards
    pavan.

    You can use DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML('your Query') for generating data in tables to XML format and you can use DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG to change the parent element name other wise it will give rowset as well as DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWTAG for row name.
    Check this otherwise XMLELEMENT and XMLFOREST function are also there to convert data in XML format.

  • Does the file format differ when you Publish locally to hard drive vs. to the Connect Pro server?

    I notice that when I publish locally to my hard drive to review a set of slides, I see a folder full of files. If I click on index.htm within the folder, I can launch the slides.
    When I publish to the Adobe Connect Pro server, I merely see a url for the link to the course.
    I'm not sure what this url link represents (as far as the file format is concerned):
    Has the presentation been converted to different file format than what is published on my local drive? If so, what format is it in?
    If  the presentation has not been converted, does the directory structured published to my local drive get replicated on the Adobe Connect Pro server, and the url is merely a link to the "starting file " within that folder (say, index.htm)?

    The published output does not differ between publishing locally and publishing to Connect. The URL on the Connect server does, ultimately, point to the Index.htm or viewer.swf file.

  • Mixed file formats in timeline not always playing nice.

    Im using the latest version of premiere pro cc, and one of the great things about PP CC is that you can drop any file format in the timeline without trancoding it right? BUT! sometimes it doesn't play well when you add effects or titles, or adjustment layers. Lets say I have a 1080 DSLR timeline and I have a mix of H.264,ProRes and MP4 footage. When the footage is in the timeline with no effects, the playback is fine, but when I add a transition, a title or a adjustment layer over the footage, when it plays over that section, the footage sometimes stutters, or plays choppy. The footage will pause for a few frames an then continues, BUT only does this when effects are applied. Its behaves as if there is not enough frames to accommodate the transition or effect, which is not the case. But if I delete the clip and drop it into the timeline again in the same spot or I adjust the length of the transition the clip will play with no issues. Why is this happening? And yes ALL footage is rendered and I have powerful enough system to handle the work. Such simple effects should not affect timeline playback.

    Hey Jim, with all do respect the symtoms may suggest that, as you stated but I know I have a powerful enough system. Im running a 8 core mac pro, 22gig ram,SSD drives and Radeon 5770 card. I have edited RED footage and Canon C500 footage with dynamic linked After effects on my system with no issues. So im certian its not my system.

  • IMovie 09 has trouble importing large video files from my JVC HD-40. I am trying to edit files such as these in 09. What should I do? Would buying iMovie 2011 help? I am shooting AVCHD files instead of the other mpeg2 file format.

    Hi,
         I am new into the Apple Community. I have a camcorder known as the JVC GZ-HD40 US and I currently am trying to use iMovie 2009 to edit my movies. With my camcorder, I have the choice to use two different video formats: AVCHD or Mpeg2. All my videos are shot in the AVCHD (HD) file format. This camcorder also has a 120 G Hard Drive built into it. When I plug in the camcorder through USB to my MacPro, the Hard Drive of the camcorder shows up as a icon on the desktop. Many of my video clips are at least thirty minutes in length, inside the camcorder. When I try to import in iMovie my video files, it only imports around ten minutes of the video and skips to the end of the clip. I would greatly prefer to use my MacPro desktop to edit movies instead of my Windows 7 computer which seems to work fine. Is there a solution to this problem? Would the new iMovie 2011 application solve this problem? I also have the Final Cut Express to work with, and also, can't get it to work. What should I try doing?

    Hi all,
    I have the exact same problem. I've just been to Thailand with my girlfriend, and we recorded a lot of stuff with my brand new Sony HD camcorder. And whenever the we ran out of camcorder memory we just emptied everything onto my HP laptop using the supplied Sony software, which produced m2ts files. When we got home, I realized that my Mac Pro/iMovie09 was not able to import this format. What a huge disappointment! Especially considering the fact that I just bought my mac back in March (my first mac ever) only for video editing and music composing (no problems with music composing, however!).
    Well, I needed a solution, so last week I just bought the Voltaic HD converting software (35$), and it works great. No problems. Only thing is that my Mac Pro (quad intel core) had to work 24 hours a day for four straight days/nights in order to finish the converting job - resulting in 434 GB worth of mov-files. This is no problem as such, and the quality is great. BUT it seems rather stupid that this converting has to take place. If I use Sony Vegas on my PC, it works out of the box with my original m2ts-files. And I would really appreciate if Apple would implement a simple import function of m2ts-files in their software - one that would (if necessary) automatically convert the files to mov. Or even better: would work natively with the m2ts-files.
    Best,
