So, to be able to use my new cameras with Aperture on my iMac with Snow Leopard I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to be able to read the RAW files?

Must I upgrade to Mountain Lion just to be able to use Aperture on my new cameras?  I am using Snow Leopard now and have upgraded to Lion but didn't like it and didn't like that I was required to upgrade a couple of my other programs (Power PC stuff).  Seems a bit of a rip off to me.  I've just gotten a Canon 6D and have a Fuji X Pro 1, neither of which RAW files are readable by Aperture. 

The RAW converter Aperture uses is part of OS X (and is, therefore, system-wide).  Updates to the RAW converter are, effectively, OS updates.  If that update is not available for your OS, then you cannot use it.

Depends on your camera, but it is certainly possible.
The Fuji X-Pro1 sensor does not use a Bayer array.  Afaik, there has never been a non-Bayer-array sensor camera supported by Apple.

    As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.
    I have found this site really helpful with that:

  • I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

    I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

    I don't know -- sorry.  I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters.  If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would.  Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
    I don't use RAW+JPEG.  Can someone who does offer some suggestions  .
    (Added:)
    And _always_ back up your files.  In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

  • Apperture doesn't read the RAW files from my new Camera

    Hi, Apperture doesn't read the RAW files downloaded from my new Camera Fujifilm X-S1. What options do I have to work with .RAF (Fujifilm RAW)?
    I was thinking about using RAW Converter PRO but it cannot upload the full information contained into the RAF file. Maybe there is another Program I can use until Aperture includes my camera in its DB.
    Greats!

    I've been a loyal Apple user for 20 years and have been using Aperture for the last 2 years. The X-pro came out a YEAR ago and still no x-trans sensor support and yet Lightroom by Adobe and Capture One now has RAW support.I've had to switch to the Lightroom trial as I have a busy studio in hope that Apple might bother with me but again no reply to my emails.
    If I have to purchase Lightroom I will probably not come back to Aperture which is a shame
    Apple seem to have got too big for good customer service these days unless it's an iPhone or iPad

    please have a look at the folllowing link about the isntallation of the camera raw plugin.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407344.html
    be sure not to have the older version of camera raw plugin in the same folder as that of new one. dont even rename it. Remove it and store it in some other location in case you need to revert back the changes. The camera raw plugin is called : Camera Raw
    thanks

  • Using snow leopard on external hard drive w/Mountain Lion OS Mac

    I need to use Snow Leopard in order to use some expensive software that will not work in Lion or Mountain Lion. All of our computers have been upgraded to Mountain Lion, whcih doesn't support Rosetta. I was able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive and it boots up fine from another computer (that is not mine) that has Snow Leopard as its OS.
    But when I boot up from my MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion) and from my Macbook Air (also running Mountain Lion), I can't seem to do it. I hold the "option" key when starting and I get the option to start from the computer's HD or from the external firewire Snow Leopard drive. When I choose the Snow Leopard drive, it crashes and gives me that black screen with the kernel (?) message in several languages that I need to hold down the Power key to turn off the computer and reboot.
    How can I get my MacBook Pro or my MacBook Air to boot up from the Snow Leopard external hard drive? (Once again, it DOES work with a Mac that has Snow Leopard as its OS).

    You can't if the Mac is a Late 2011 and later, perhaps if it's a Early 2011 (as some came with 10.6 and some with 10.7) and it should be possible for all Intel Mac's earlier than Early 2011.
    Also, like what has occurred in the past, Apple does eventually issues a firmware update in later OS X versions so that earlier OS X versions, despite the Mac previously being able to boot from them, won't any longer. However far as I know Apple hasn't done this quite yet, but will one day.
    Baring those issues, if you installed 10.6 on a external drive using a machine specific black/gray disk from another Mac, it has hardware drivers for that model/year of Mac only.
    If you used the 10.6 white retail disks from Apple, it only has hardware drivers for all previous Intel Mac's that came originally with 10.6.2 or earlier from the factory. Mac's with 10.6.3 or later on the drive from the factory have different hardware drivers, thus not on the 10.6.3 white retail disk.
    To find out what OS X version came on your machines, use the free MacTracker and use your model indentifier in the Apple menu More > Info (aka System Profiler)
    So for those Mac's that originally came with 10.6.3 or later, machine specific disks must be gotten from Apple, or if your really talented, it's possible to create a univeral 10.6-10.6.8 install disk by combing the 10.6.3 image with the 10.6.8 combo update which will boot on any Intel Mac if the firmware permits and the hardware drivers are compable.
    There is a method to bypass the firmware and install on Mac's that are Early 2011/Late 2011 via Target Disk Mode, or via taking the drive out of the machine as some Late 2011's use the same hardware drivers as the Early 2011 machines (only a processor bump basically)
    How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard
    For the MacAir, you can install 10.6 via a USB thumb drive, of course provided it has the hardware drivers.
    http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
    So in your case you likely should be rather looking at running Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program in Mountain Lion, which MichealLax over at MacRumors has perfected a technique.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • Elements 10 can not read the raw-files from my Sony a-57

    The raw-converter is updatet to 6.7 and according to Adobe it should be able to read Sony a-57. When I got Elements 10, a file had to be moved so it could read the raw-files from my Minolta 5D. Can this be the cause of the problem ? What to do ?

  • Photoshop Elements 11 cant read the raw files from my Fuji x-e2, what can i do?

    I need help please as I cant work on the raw file from my Fuji x-e2 on Photoshop Elements 11 as it cant read them. any suggestions what I can do?

    Unfortunatly it seems that the camera raw 8.3 plugin is required, which is still in a public beta for photoshop, but even
    when it's released as final, pse 11 will most likely not be able to use it.
    You could however download the
    DNG Converter 8.3 Release Candidate
    and convert your  Fuji X-E2 files to dng copies which should then open in pse 11

  • Can I make Aperture 3.4.5 read the RAW files from a Lumix GX7?

    I had an LX7 - RAW support no problem. Just got my lovely GX7 and native Aperture RAW support for this camera doesn't exist. I can't upgrade from OS 10.7.5 or Aperture 3.4.5 as I'm on a 2007 MacPro. Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7? I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...

    The Tech Specs for the Raw support are contradictory:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    says Aperture 3.4 or later required for your camera, but the Compatibility Update 5.01 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1706) says Mac OS X 10.8.5 or later.
    Have you tried to download and install the update?
    Does anyone know of a plug-in or other way to make Aperture 3.4.5 display the RAW files from the GX7?
    I don't think that is possible, since Aperture will convert images to tiff or psd, when sending them to plug-ins and external editors. And that requires, that Aperture can process the raw.
    I really don't want to have to use Silkypix again...
    I am using Adobe's dng converter for my unsupported Lumix raws. But I cannot check, if it will process your GX7 files.
