Support for RAW photo files under iOS8

I have an iPad Mini 2 which I've been using as a temporary back up of the JPEG and NEF raw files from my Nikon DSLR while I'm traveling.  When I got home, I would always transfer the backup photos from the iPad to my Mac Pro.  This worked flawlessly when I had iOS 7 installed on the iPad.  However,  it has stopped working now that I've (accidentally) upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.1.   I can still download my JPEG backup files from the iPad to the Mac, but the download of the raw files fails every time with a system error message.  It fails whether I try to download the photos in iPhoto, Lightroom, or even Image Capture...the error message is always the same.  From the size of the raw image file on the iPad (42 MB), I know it's not just a null/empty file of 0 MB in size.  Has anyone else experienced this problem since upgrading to iOS 8 on their iPads?  Can anyone sugge a fix for my problem?  On the Mac Pro I'm running OS 10.9.5, Mavericks, not Yosemite.

Here's more information on this issue.
As an experiment, instead of loading my photo files onto my iPad Mini via Apple's camera kit (the memory card reader), I emailed myself two test files, one JPEG and one NEF.  I opened the email msg on my iPad and saved both files to the iPad.   Both files showed up in the Photos app.  I then brought up Image Capture on my Mac and used it to transfer the files over from the iPad.  This worked perfectly and both the JPEG and the raw NEF copied over correctly to the Mac.  What this suggests is that the problem is probably isolated and occurs only when the raw files are copied from the memory card using the Apple dongle. 
I've been in touch with Apple Support and had two on-line chats with them so far.  The issue has now been kicked over to the "engineers" (not sure exactly what that means).  They are now aware of the problem but I received no other information.   It might help if you also contacted Apple Support to let them know more than one person is experiencing the same problem.

  • How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    Hello briggiebunny
    If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

    How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in  the Library module?

    The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
    If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
    Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
    So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
    Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new  storage location for each image concerned.

  • Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

    Any chance that Aperture 3 soon will support the RAW format files from Leica V-lux 3?

    Were all just users here no Apple employees so no one can say (and if Apple was here they wouldn't say either)'
    It's just not the type of information Apple gives out. You can go  to Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback to let them know you want his camera included. But when that will happen is anyone's guess.
    One strategy you can use for the time being is to shoot RAW + JPG (assuming the camera has this mode) and import both as a RAW+JPG pair making the JPG the master. Then when the RAW support comes out you can switch and make the RAW the master and process the file.
    There are other ways to deal with this until the camera is supported. Post back for more info.

  • Is there support for animated .gif files?

    Is there support for animated gif files using
    form builder? I can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Sean
    I am using forms 6.0

    She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
    Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
    I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
    for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
    Thanks,

    Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.

    iam looking for a image convertor for raw (raf) files so i can edit them in aperture can any one help please

    Ah, gotchya. Your Fuji camera must not then be on this list here?  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html  You could presumably use the sw that came with the camera and create jpegs or tiffs with them and keep them in aperture along side the unsupported raws, in stacks.

  • Trouble Downloading Raw photo files and JPEG photo files in CS5

    PS CS5 will not download raw photo files and JPEG photo files. The software will not recognize these files coming from a Canon G12 camera. How can I remedy this situation?

    It should recognize the jpg files, but witht the G12, you need to update your camera raw. I believe there is a version what will work with CS5 and the G12.

  • Support for RAW Video and Image Sequences

    Being a stills photographer who moved into video some years back, I'm very interested in the direction Lightroom is going with regards to video support. I haven't tried it yet but I wondered if LR4 supports Red R3D files? And would it perhaps support other future RAW video formats from the likes of Canon and Sony? It would seem like the perfect application, perhaps intergrating with Premiere in a similar way to RedCine with FCP. Be great to be able to log footage, orginize it into bins and do basic colour correction in LR, edit the project in Premiere and re-touch in After Effects.
    Another task LR would seem ideally suited to is combining image sequences into timelapse video. Shooting timelapse as an image sequence on a DSLR is pretty much standard practice these days; and I've used LR to colour correct, crop and scale my sequences (before fitting them together in Quicktime) for years now. It would be fantastic to be able to preview the clip and export the video (as DPX, ProRes or DNxHD) from within Lightroom.
    These are obviously fairly long term wishes. In the short term though, the video features are pretty much useless to me without support for exporting ProRes and DNxHD files. With this LR becomes a powerful asset manager that could be used to collect together footage from multiple sources/codecs and transcode it all for editing. As mentioned in a previous thred, XML support would make it even more useful in this context. There is definitly a gap in the market for an application than can handle this kind of task well.
    With other manufactures floundering or neglecting their professional user base, Adobe would seem poised to take the video post crown. I wonder if Lightroom could be part of the takeover?

    As I understand it Andy, its intention is to remain a photographers program, not a videographers program.  The basic video features are available for lightweight management of videos coming from digital cameras, but it's not going too much further than that at this point in time.  Of course that may change in the future, but we'll all have to wait and see on that one.

  • Can apple tv2 show raw photo files

    Using Apple tv2 in a windows 7 home network environment. Music files and photo files (both JPEG and RAW files) stored on Synology network disk.
    Typically I shoot photos in Canon Camera Raw format and store. My wife shoots in JPEG format.
    We are using the screensaver in apple tv to show our photos, and it's not obvious whether I need to convert the raw files over to jpeg  in order for those photos to show on the slide show when apple tv is operating.
    Can apple tv display raw format photo files?

    Whatever iTunes does to populate the AppleTV2 with user photos I have no doubt it will not be sending the original images, only derivatives thereof - if Windows can natively decode these RAW files I suspect iTunes uses them 'As Shot' and then downscales to a lower quality compressed version to send to the AppleTV - if it did not do this AppleTV would not be able to hold many photos from modern cameras due to their resolution and file sizes which would particularly be an issue with RAW files.
    AppleTV has 8GB of solid state memory - we don't know how much is available for photos and other tasks, but depending on the camera I doubt you'd get that many RAWs to it if it transferred them as is.
    Bear in mind AppleTV 2 can only output 720p quality max which equates to a resolution of 1280x720 so having photos much larger than that (maybe add 50-100% to allow for zooms) is probably not going to help in terms of visual quality.
    You might not want a set of redundant smaller JPGs just for AppleTV but they probably wouldn't that much space if you batch processed them to a suitable size.
