Sony a77 & Aperture

I just got a Sony a77, but Aperture doesn't support RAW for it yet. Anyone know how to get around this without having to purchase an Adobe software product (Lightroom/Photoshop)?

It should. The NEX-5N is listed under the most recent update.
You may also find I useful to change the preferences once installed to embed the RAW file in the DNG file.

Sony A77 RAW file problems

I just converted to LR from Aperture, and when importing pics into LR, they have a lot of noise and and aren't as crisp as they should be. I'm shooting with a Sony A77 in RAW format, so I don't understand the issue with the noise and clarity, but I've heard there might be a conflict between the Sony RAW files and LR's data converters. Any help with this will be appreciated.

It’s all about what the Default settings are for Lightroom, which if you look is no luminance noise reduction and a linear contrast curve and neutral toning in the Basic area. You can change the defaults to something else if you find a set of toning values that you always find yourself using.

Sony a77 gps metadata

Does any one know how to import a sony a77 raw file that has GPS data into LR5, having problems with the GPS data not being pulled through... works a treat in iPhoto and Aperture...
Thanks.

Sony A77 raw file support

I looked up here http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html and saw that the support of Sony A77 raw file is there. However, after I bought and installed the aperture, it does not support the raw file.... iMac OSX 10.7.2 and the aperture is the latest one.

I actually did the camera raw support 3.9 update but I still can not open my a77 raw files.
I find out that the problem is, all the raw files I imported into Aperture before I did the 3.9 update
are still not supported. All raw files imporrted after the 3.9 update installed can now be viewed and edited.
Thank you for the answer

Sony A77 ARW files in LR 5.2 do not show...

Hi there,
some time ago I was "suddenly"troubled that my Sony A77 Arw files dit not show up in Lr 3 no more. I recently upgraded to 5.2 but same problem...
On the same laptop they do show up in PSE 12 strangely enough.
Maybe I overlook something but any help/suggestion is welcome as I am truly stuck. Thanks!

Hi thanks for replying.
I am using the most recent version of LR on a dell lattitute W7.
I import the files and convert them directly into DNG.
When in the library it shows meta details like in the screenshot below. But the actual immage is not shown. This counts for the ARW files but also Jpeg or Tiff files. As said before the image is shown in PSelements-12 and also in Sony sw itself(PMB) I am afraid I overlook something simple but I cannot get my fingers behind it. Thanks for any help!

Sony A77 raw files

Is there a download that will allow elements 8 to process my raw files from my Sony A77. I spent a load on this new camera and prefer not to upgrade to
Elements 10. Have enough on my plate learning how to use the new camera. Don't need to have to learn a new Elements too.

You can download the free adobe dng converter 6.6 to convert your files into dng copies which should open in the pse 8 camera raw.
Pse 8 can only be updated to 6.2 camera raw itself which doesn't support the Sony A77.

Waveform IRE Level Over 100 on Sony A77 but not for Canon T2i

Why does the Sony A77 have a white IRE level over 100 while the Canon T2i max out at 100? You can view this larger if you like so you can see the graph better, http://www.flickr.com/photos/davedugdale/6326846722/.
On my Canon I have highlight tone priority turned off and Auto lighting optimizer turned off as well. Also on both camera I have them set to a neutral picture style and the lowest contrast setting.
I am trying to do a test on which camera can hold the highlights better.
As you can see I matched the skin tone levels on the left by changing the camera settings to match each other so I could see what would happen on the right side where I drew a tree that is heavily back lite.
But it is hard to draw any conclusions when the Sony is "cheating" with higher IRE levels.
I wonder if it has to do with the color space? I don't think so because both are using the sRGB color space.
No transcoding was done to any of the clips dragged on to the timeline. Just "raw" files from the cameras.
The Sony A77 creates AVCHD Video (.MTS) files while the Canon T2i creates MOV video (.MOV) files.
What is interesting is if I use the same clips in Sony Vegas Pro 9, the Waveforms match at 110 IRE. Something wrong with Premiere?
Sony A77 on the left and Canon T2i on the right.

Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them. I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files? Thanks!

I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions. But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images. Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now. You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files. Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

Lightroom 5 does not import the GPS-files taken by the Sony A77. When i open the Bridge, there i can see them correctly. Can you help me? Thank´s a lot!

Just curious if there is a work around now. So, I can get it in LR

There is no Adobe raw support yet for this camera that was only announced May 1.
You’ll have to wait until the public release candidate for either LR or the DNG Converter becomes available at Adobe Labs at some point in the future: http://labs.adobe.com/
If the sensor and optics are exactly the same as a previous camera, then you might be able to hack something into working by hex-editing the raw files to pretend they are that other camera, but I don’t have any information about what camera that might be.
About the best you can do, for now, is use Sony’s software to output TIFs from your raw files, and then edit those TIFs in Adobe software. Be sure to adjust the WB before outputting the TIFs.

Sony a77.

Elements 9 will not open/read raw files from my new sony a77 SLT camera. What can I do?

I think you need Camera Raw 6.5 update for that camera.
In the edittor, try going to Help -> Updates to see if it updates you automatically.
You can check which Camera Raw you have by going to the editor, Help -> About Plugins -> Camera Raw
Good luck

Why won't LR import my photos from my Sony a77?

When I tried to import my photos from my Sony a77 it imported but it wouldn't display the image. And when I went to my hard drive (where my catalog is) and viewed the images they had red lines through them. Why?

Try disconnecting your phone and see if it works.

Please read this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
You do not want to be in the Import section of Lightroom, you want to be in the Library Module. You don't want "Update Folder Location", you want to ctrl-click on a Folder name (not in Import, but in the Library Module Folder Panel) and select "Find Missing Folder"
You do not want to re-import photos that have already been imported, this is almost always a bad thing to do.

Sony A77 Raw Files Won't Import Without Crashing

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2010, iPhoto crashes when I try to import. So far I have reinstalled Mac OS X 4 times and iLife (after deleting everything) once. This is from the crash log "*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI removeAllObjects]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1eef4b70'." I have no idea how to fix this.
My iPhoto crash log:

My Aperture Crash log:

Also everything on my computer is up-to-date.
Is anyone else having this problem with the Sony Alpha 77 (A77) and its Raw files?

OT: Sony DSLR talk.
Your response indicates you took my comment as a challenge to your decision. It wasn't. I own both. The a900 has the biggest, brightest viewfinder ever put on a camera. It's worth experiencing sometime. Michael Reichman reports (discussing the Nikon D800/e):
Optical Viewfinder
There has been so much attention paid to the latest generation of mirrorless cameras and their electronic viewfinders that it's worth mentioning that as good as they are, a full-frame optical viewfinder through a large glass prism is still the gold standard. I discussed this with an illustrative example in my recent Sony NEX-7 Six Months On Report.
But, having said that (as Seinfield was wont to say), this isn't the biggest and the brightest OVF on the market. A Sony A900, for example, is much brighter. Not that the D800/E is poor in this regard, it just isn't brilliant (literally and figuratively).
