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:

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).

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

Raw files won't import when shot in raw+jpg

I just shot in raw+jpg for the first time. Lightroom 4 won't import the raw file but will import the jpg. It says something like "lightroom doesn't support this raw file format". I don't get it though because if I shoot in just raw it will import fine.

If your camera is supported by current version of Lightroom, then the raw file(s) should import.
So, is Canon EOS Rebel XS 1000D supported by Lr4.3? If so, it should go (assuming you've got 4.3 installed), if no go, a bug report should be submitted, promptly, at:

If not, consider a feature request ('Idea', for camera support) using same link.

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 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.

Sony a77 raw files look noisy/grainy when opened on cs6?

HI
i'm having problems with my images looking quite harsh when opening the raw files, this didn't happen on the trial version, i've only just got the cs6 from adobe so is there a setting i need to change?
thanks Andy

You misinterpreted me. I meant that without seeing what you're seeing it's hard to provide accurate help, and that answers would be more like "shots in the dark".
Can you please post a photograph (or small crop from one)? Perhaps even a link to a representative raw file, with which someone else could try and reproduce what you're seeing.

Panasonic RAW files won't import into Aperture 3

I've just upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3, mainly to start using the RAW format with my camera, a Panasonic GH2. The Apple support page clearly states that Aperture 3 supports the RAW format for this camera while the version 2 does not.
Today I've loaded Aperture and fired a few test shots, some in jpeg and some in RAW. When I connected the camera to my Mac the shots seem to have loaded but only the ones in jpeg format are visible. The RAW files are represented in the browser by blank squares; when I click on them each one states 'Unsupported Image Format'
Do I need to change something in the import settings in order to load RAW files to Aperture 3, something which doesn't apply to jpegs? Or does Aperture 3 simply not support the format for my camera, despite what is stated on the Apple support pages.
Thanks,
Mike

Problem sorted. I updated all my software and the RAW files now load correctly.

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

Cannot import sony arw raw files into lightroom 5

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!

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5. I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work. I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files. I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not. Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Import "RAW files only" also imports JPEGS (+ steps to reproduce)

I filed this bug report to Apple:
Summary:
When importing "RAW files only" the accompanying JPEGs are also imported when the files are stacked (cmd-K) in the import screen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new library
2. Insert a card from a camera (checked with Canon G9, Lumix DMC-LX3) which holds RAW files and their accompanying JPEG files (same filename, different extension)
3. Cmd-I to import, if the import screen does not open by itself.
4. Make sure "RAW files only" is selected
5. Select "Uncheck All"
6. Select a few RAW files (for example 4) (click first, shift-click last, click checkbox, all 4 are selected at once)
7. Cmd-K to put them in a stack.
Above the "Import Checked" button the number of files to be imported is shown, 4 in this case.
8. Click "Import Checked"
Wherever the images are imported, not only the 4 RAW files will be imported, but also the accompanying JPEG files. This is also the case when only JPEGs are requested, in that case the RAW files will be imported as well.
Is is essential that the images to be imported are stacked in the import screen. If this is omitted, only the requested files (either RAW of JPEG) are imported (4 in this example).

Hi again
Sorry the delay in getting back to my post but I've been a tad busy.
Well, after a bit of testing I can confirm that the problem does seem to be an issue with Vista (32bit and 34 bit) as Jeff states.
I tried importing the raw files into Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit and whilst all operating systems allowed the import of JPEG files, I was only able to import the raw files into XP.
I havent got a card reader so am unable to test this at the moment.

Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

Since installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
Somebody else the same problem?

I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.

HT201408 My iPad version 6.1.3 will not import Nikon RAW (.NEF) files. Can anyone tell me why I just get red exclamation points and no imports? Discussion areas indicate that RAW files can be imported.

I am unable to import RAW Nikon (.NEF) files into my iPad version 6.1.3. Can anyone explain to me how to import RAW files? I continually get a red exclamation point with RAW files while jpegs have no problem. Other discussions indicate that RAW files can be imported. Many thanks for yur help.

D40X support should be available in ACR 4.1. Availability should be by the end of the week, according to dpreview. See
