Sony rx raw import in Aperture 3.4.5???

Hi,
I just purchased Aperture 3.4.5. hoping that it would be able to import my ARW file for my RX100M2. This doesn't seem to work. Pulling a picture into the Aperture window just brings an unsupported file format even though it says it should support in Apple's support pages.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks

Run "➞Software Update". You need the most recent version of Apple RAW Compatibility Update (4.08) in order to convert Sony RX100 II files. For Apple computers, the RAW converter is part of the OS, not part of the apps.
NB: many users of Nikon cameras have reported problems with this newest update, as have users of the original RX cameras. If you have files created with any of those, read some of the recent threads before upgrading.
Imho, using Aperture's import dialog is a much more useful method of importing files into a Library. "Aperture➞Import ... "

How can I process raw files in Aperture from a Sony RX1?

How can I process raw files in Aperture from my Sony RX1?

Here is a list of supported cameras
<http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html>
Your Sony RX1 is not listed. Your best bet would be to use the software, that came with your camera to convert the raw files to tiff and to import the tiff to Aperture. Or to shoot raw+jpeg and to import the pairs and to work with the jpeg versions as original master files, until Aperture supports your camera.

RAW NEF files imported into Aperture from a Nikon D70 are dark

I imported one roll of images straight from the CF card from my Nikon D70 into Aperture.
I also imported them into Nikon PictureProject. (the current application I use)
All the NEF's in Aperture are darker than the NEF's in PictureProject. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Also, any NEF that I have previously edited and saved in Nikon Capture Editor, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. Interesting that the Finder shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks, Scott K.

I've imported a few of the NEF files I've gotten from my D2X, and for the most part, they look fine. A little darker than when displayed in Adobe Bridge and ACR, but not that much darker. This is probably just the way the image converter is interpreting the RAW data. A couple of minor levels adjustments for me, and they look fine.
As for Aperture not "seeing" the changes made to a RAW file in Nikon Capture. That may be due to the way Capture applies its changes to the file. If when you make a change, Capture simply adds the adjustments to a side car file, etc., and doesn't change the original RAW file (which it should never do), then Aperture is only reading the original RAW data. The side car info is not understood by Aperture. At least not now.
This is pretty much the same way ACR works.

Unable to see raw files in Finder and therefor can't import in aperture

I have loaded my raw files from the CF card (Canon 4DII) into a directory on the Mac. I go into Aperture, select import and select the directory where the files are and none of the raw files appear.
I go into iPhoto and they appear and I am able to import them into iPhoto.
I need to import the files into Aperture. How can I get Aperture to "see" the files in the finder directory?

Hi New
It doesn't look like your camera is supported, which is why your raw files don't show up to import.
(Check the list here, for sure
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html)
Mine isn't either.
I use DNG Converter from Adobe (Free) to convert my RAW files to DNG. The .DNG files ( not '.dng') are then readable by Aperture.
You can get the app here: (or just go to Adobe's website)
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16064
What I do:
Open DNG converter
Select the folder with the raw files
Save in new location:
Select folder: and create a DNG folder inside the original folder with the RAW images)
File Extension .DNG
Convert.
When i import into Aperture, I choose the option to 'Store files in their original location' (which is an external drive foe me) ... this way i'm not getting duplicates and taking up more space.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

Latest Camera Raw 2.3 + Aperture 2.1.2 + Nikon D300 = broken import?

After installing the latest camera raw update to version 2.3, it seems I can no longer import raw files from my Nikon D300 into Aperture when the D300 is set for USB Mass Storage, which I always used. When trying to do so, the first sign that something is wrong is the "Import" button in the Import dialog that doesn't show the number of selected pictures. It always show "Import All". Then, if I select all pictures or some of them, the Import dialog disappears as usual but then the completed import dialog appears immediately and says that 0 pictures have been imported. When checking the project where I wanted to import, there are indeed no pictures.
I then tried to import in iPhoto and it worked just fine. I reverted to Camera Raw Update 2.1, and had no problem.
I was able to import from the D300 when I set its USB connection to be MTP/PTP but no thumbnails appear in the import dialog, no matter if I shot RAW or RAW+JPEG.
So, anybody else noticed that?

Hmm... well, why would I want to buy a separate card reader, pull the card from my D300, put it in the reader, get it read, put it out of the reader and put it back in the D300?
typically photographers carry and shoot with multiple cards and then use card readers to get the photos into aperture
Because Apple screwed up their latest raw bundle? I'd rather not take the card out of my D300.
So, no, I haven't tried an external card reader and don't intend to buy one either.
that's your choice, we're just trying to help u out.
a fw800 card reader will be much faster importing than the camera,
if the camera settings changed at least you'll be able to get your photos into aperture.
btw, i have the same camera as you d300 and i've imported well over 100,000 photos (in the last week) since the last update, without a hitch (Camera Raw 2.3 + Aperture 2.1.2 + Nikon D300)

RAW import Sony ILCA-77M2 funktioniert in Lightroom 5 nicht. Wer kann helfen?

The A77.2 is not listed as a newly supported camera in the ACR 8.5 RC available at Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com
But it could be added before the final release of ACR 8.5, sometime before July 31st, when the RC expires. Otherwise, a new ACR plug-in is released every 3 or 4 months.

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.

Cannot import sony arw raw files into lightroom 5

How can I import sony arw raw files to lightroom 5. On Import I cannot convert them to dng.

Geotagging raws/ importing xmp files

I'm shooting exclusively in Sony ARW raw format and look for an solution, now for over a year, to geotag my images inside Aperture - so far with no success. It seems to be an unholy alliance between Sony, not allowing to embed geotagging information into their RAW formats, and Aperture being unable to import xmp sidecar files.
I can import import a folder containing ARW files with accompanying xmp files (created with an application like Geotag and containing the geotagging information for the unaltered RAWs) into Lightroom, and have all geotagging information incorporated into the EXIF fields of the Lightroom database automatically.
But so far I found no way to get this information into Aperture, neither natively, nor with the help of Automator actions, AppleScripts or plugins.
I really hope, the next version of Aperture improves on this. Meanwhile I've downloaded the Lightroom 3 beta to check whether this could become an alternative to Aperture ...

Sorry for answering my own post, but I figured out a slight work around, and others may be interested:
I have my photos arranged in folders containing 75-125 photos each. For each photo I created an iView catalog. Each catalog was then imported into the appropriate album in Aperture using Annoture.
My struggle earlier was trying to load all my images into a single iView catalog. Annoture seemed to double count images, and choke when synchronizing large numbers of pictures (1000+).

How to set a default Raw import adjustment

Hi everyone, I have a problem importing my RAW pictures in aperture. The preview pictures in the camera are as I like to have in aperture, but when I import them in my library, they change, very highlighted and very different as the original preview.
The camera is a Nikon D5300.
Thanks!

All camera manufactures have their own interpretation of color, and not one, but one per light source or even type of scene.
If you like the Nikon defaults, then you can buy a color checker chart, take photos of it under different light sources, and then use adjustments to match these to the Nikon JPEG versions (shoot in RAW+JPEG to get reference Nikon JPEGs for matching to). The presets will usually use colour adjustment for a standard set of colours, and possibly curves adjustments for each RGB channel.
If this sounds like a lot of work, do a search for presets that people have already spent time building to do just that. Sometimes these are free, other times people sell them.
Here's one example:
http://photo.rwboyer.com/2012/08/04/aperture3-nikon-presets/
Note, I have no association with the site and don't current use any Nikon's, I'm linking this just for example and suggest you search and compare a number of sites to discover what will work best for you.
You can apply a preset automatically during import, but unless they are all from the same shoot you will likely need to change the presets after import; for example different ISOs, different light sources and/or different scene types.
Also, as manufactures in camera JPEG processing gets better and, it gets harder to match with third part tools, and the presets may only get you part way there. An alternative is to switch to shooting RAW+JPEG and use the JPEGs where possible and only revert to the RAW where needed.
I use this approach for my Olympus EM-5 and rarely touch the raws now, but haven't figured out a really nice JPEG setup for my Sony A7 yet so am still using mostly the RAWs for this. And even then, while the A7 has lovely textures and rendering, I haven't found a color signature I like yet. I may just take my own advice and go searching for some A7 presets!

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

Panasonic Lumex DMC-LX1 raw conversion for Aperture doesn't work.

I've seen many people having raw conversion problems. Direct import of Lumex raw files to Aperture does not work.
Adobe DNG conversion of raw to dng does not work.
I'm running on Photoshop CS.
Perhaps my DNG conversion settings aren't right? Tell me what they should be.
Do I have to go as far as changing the raw.plist or whatever it's called.
Would CS2 with the Raw conversion Plug-in work instead?

Joe,
good to see that you are reading these posts. I am sure that many users whose cameras' raw files are currently not supported by Aperture would love to help out in any way they can.
However, as we are living in a converging world, why doesn't Apple talk with Adobe and share some of the information used for RAW conversion? I'm thinking dcraw which (according to a note in its source code*) is using data provided by Adobe... and that same data is also contained in the Raw.plist.
Thus, if Adobe knows something and shares it with dcraw, and Apple uses some of the dcraw code (at least the m2 matrices found in Raw.plist are equal to the dcraw ones), why can't you guys all share the same information, and thus speed up RAW support for all cameras?
Just a thought.
Kindest regards,
Karl

Importing into Aperture 3 from iPhoto as referenced files

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything this topic...
I've just upgraded to Aperture 3. In Aperture 2, my way of working was to store RAW images in iPhoto and import as referenced files into Aperture. This was very straightforward. Now, I have 2 problems:
1 - I can't see how to import referenced images from iPhoto. If I use the import command, my iPhoto images don't show up in the list of locations to import from; if I use the iPhoto browser in Aperture and drag from that, it imports the file into the Aperture library rather than importing as a referenced file...
2 - If I import using the iPhoto browser, not only does it import into the Aperture library, it imports the jpeg preview rather than the RAW file.
The only way I can see to get the RAW file into Aperture is to find it in the Finder then import into the Aperture library. This seems excessively long-winded and also duplicates the file, using up extra disk space.
I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 7.1.5
Thanks in advance for your input

I have not imported an iPhoto library because my workflow is to to use Aperture for storing and archiving Raw files and iPhoto for exported jpegs.
However the instruction in the Aperture 3 PDF Manual are as follows:-
To import your iPhoto library
Choose File > Import > iPhoto Library.
Select the iPhoto library in the dialog that appears.
Choose a location for the imported images by doing one of the following:
• To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
• To import the files as referenced images stored in their current location on your hard disk: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
Tip: Choosing“Intheircurrentlocation”isrecommended.Whenyouchoosethisoption, Aperture refers to the original files in their current location and does not have to duplicate the files, which doubles the disk space needed to store the files. For more information about referenced images, see What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
• To store imported masters as referenced images in the Pictures folder on your hard disk: Choose Pictures from the Store Files pop-up menu.
• To store imported masters as referenced images in a location other than the Pictures folder: Choose “Choose” from the Store Files pop-up menu and select a folder. Choose “No folder” from the Subfolders pop-up menu to specify that the files be stored as separate, individual files in the selected folder. You can also specify that Aperture create a hierarchy of subfolders with specific folder names to hold your files.

Viewing RAW images in Aperture

I cannot find a similar discussion so I'll post this.
I cannot view RAW files in Aperture since the 3.5 update to 10.9. The files import correctly and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess. I have created a new Aperture library and still the problem persists. Is anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?
Thanks

Chris,
try two things:
use the command "Photos > Reprocess Raw" from the menu bar
and use the command "Photos > Generate Thumbnails"
It looks like the thumbnails of your imported images are broken.
Léonie
Added:

Is your scrambled mess red and blue? Have you perhaps enabled "View > Highlight hot and Cold areas" or "onscreen proofing" with an unsuitable color profile?
Or any presets interfering? Raw decode preset, or an effects preset in the Import panel?
