Tethered Shooting for Sony - Fixed in Aperture 3?

Can anyone advise if Aperture 3 has support for tethered shooting with Sony cameras that was missing in Aperture 2?
The existing support article is for Aperture 2 "The following cameras have been qualified for tethered shooting in Aperture 2:" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1085) and makes no mention of Aperture 3 support.
Thanks
Paul

The tethered capture floating tool panel is not modal - you can still use Lightroom's regular panels and tools while it's open, so working on a file while a session is active is no problem (provided a new shot doesn't arrive and auto-advance is turned on).
Lightroom cannot directly email images to an address taken from the IPTC metadata, for that you would need either a plugin or an external application. I don't know of one currently available.
Again, exporting metadata to a text file is a job for a plugin - but this time there are several available (such as http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrtransporter.php )

Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7. Is this true? If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
Thanks,
Joe

BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
Go to the Aperture plug-ins page: http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing). Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly). Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session. You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

Tethered shooting for canon FINALLY here...but

Tethered shooting for large amount of people

Here's a little bit of background to my question. I have mainly used Lightroom for organizing imports from my Canon 6D and 7D along with developing them. The shoot I'm looking for help on, with these questions, is quite different from what I'm accustomed to. I am looking at taking portraits of a large number of people at a school fundraiser for a club where the lighting conditions are the same and the camera is on a tripod shooting with a tethered capture to a laptop. So if anyone could help with the following questions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
1. Is it possible in tethered capture to have the metadata panel open at the same time and be able to have someone type down their email address for each individual picture?
2. Following question one, is it possible to email all the photos from the shoot individually to the recipients listed in the metadata?
3. Can Lightroom automatically print photos after taken from a tethered shoot?
4. Can Lightroom save specific tags in the metadata from a collection into a text file where they are listed along with the file name?
A bit of help with any of the questions would be great, haven't attempted anything like this before and frankly haven't found anything that could help in the documentation for Lightroom. I do apologize for any confusing wording, my computer wasn't accessible from where I am so this was typed on a iPhone.

Tether support for sony A550

Hi,
I do not seem to find any tethering support for Sony A550. Does anyone know about this?
Thanks in advance!

No Sony tethering - Sony doesn't provide an SDK.
Hi Keith,
You can find a limited SDK at Cameras | Sony Developer World
The article that I posted the link to above describes how to use a "Watched Folder"

Does LR4 have tethered support for Nikon D5300?

I use LR4 and have found out that it doesn't support tethered shooting for the Nikon D3200. I need to upgrade to get this capability and have heard that the D5300 is supported but was wondering if anyone can confirm this. Thanks in advance for your help! :-)

Tethered camera support in Lightroom
As you can see, the D5300 is supported beginning with Lightroom 5.5. There will be no update that will make it possible for you to tether in Lightroom 4. So you will need both a new camera and an upgraded version of Lightroom in order to have tethered support.

Tethered Shooting with 5d Mark II and Aperture 2.1.4 not working

Is the 5d mark II not supported by aperture 2? I've been successful shooting tethered with the EOS utility (version 1.6), but whenever I use aperture 2, my camera freezes up and the buttons won't work. I have to power down and disconnect the USB. On the tethered HUD, it says that the 5d mark II is connected, but i'm unable to take a picture. Anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, the 5D Mark II isn't yet have support for tethered shooting as does the 5D Mark I. There is an Automator action you can set up with a "Hot Folder" using the EOS capture utility that is a decent work around. Been using this technique for several months now. I'm sure an update or next version will include tethered support.

Aperture 2: Tips on tethered shooting

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1085
Apple has posted a list of camera's that are compatible with Aperture's tethered shooting mode. What I'd like to know is if this is a final list, or is Apple working on adding support for the latest models used by most pro-photographers, such as the Canon EOS 1d MkIII amongst others?

Looking at the crash dump you posted it appears as if one of the apllication libraries got messed up.
This entry from the dump:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
If you have a TM backup of the OS volume you could get the PluginManager file out and just copy that but probably the easiest and quickest thing to do would be to reinstall Lion.

Still no LR support for 5D Mk 1 tethered shooting

Adobe's apparent decision to abandon further OS X support for tethered shooting in LR for the 5D Mk1 is one that is deeply contemptuous of its user base.So far, the company strategy in responding to complaints is to shrug and blame the situation on Canon and or Apple. But since both Capture One and Aperture seem to have successfully transitioned their support into Lion, this rings false and is particularly galling. Adobe needs to reinvest some of its huge profits into serving those of us who have invested much of our time, money, and expertise in Adobe's integrated software solutions, only to have our loyalty betrayed by the company's cheeseparing attitude.
As someone who uses a 5D for professional studio photography, shooting tethered has become a virtual necessity in my workflow. To continue using LR for this, my options are very limited: dial my MacBook Pro back to Snow Leopard, where Canon's own utilities still provide support, or tether via Lion's Image Capture, a barebones workaround.
C'mon, Adobe, and do right by the undoubtedly thousands of your customers who shoot with the original 5D and depend on your software.

Tetherering in Lr is dependent on the camera vendors SDK, which at time of release wasn't avaialble for either of the two cameras you mention. Fortunately, Canon and Nikon have recently made their SDKs available, therefore, I suspect we'll see tethering for SDMk3 and D800 sometime in the coming few months.

Canon 7D Mark II fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.

Canon 7D2 fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.
The camera connection does work with Canon EOS Utility.
LR sees the camera but fails to establish and maintain connection. See small video clip to view the camera and computer behaviour while attempting to connect.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28457054/7D2%20tethered%20test.m4v
I also have the Canon 5D3 and have no issues connecting with various software (EOS Utility, LR, Helicon Remote) on that computer. I have a MacBookPro mid-2009 running OS X 10.8.5. Lightroom, Camera Raw and EOS Utility are up to date, same goes for the 7D2 firmware.

It usually takes many months and perhaps more than one version of LR before tethering is supported after raws are supported. The first hurdle is for the camera manufacturer to release a new SDK with the camera supported, so Adobe can’t have tethering ready when raw support is because a camera isn’t added until after it is announced. Canon has added the 7D.2 to their SDK about two weeks after the camera was available, so the ball is in Adobe’s court:

Current Lightroom / Camera Raw Camera Profile for Sony ILCE-6000 inaccurate: green cast in shadows! Capture one better! Please fix it!

Hi folks from Adobe!
Please take note that the current Lightroom / Adobe Camera Raw Camera Profile for the Sony ILCE-6000 is very inaccurate: There is a serious green cast in the shadows!
Capture One Express for Sony (which is free by the way) renders a lot more correctly!
Please correct this, since I'd rather buy the coming LR6 because of keeping my established workflow instead of going the Capture One route.
A good example can be found in the dpreview forum "LR5 A6K shadow pulling, a mess! Adobe LR is broken? "
Or search for Philp Reeves 3 weeks with the Sony A6000 review "3 Wochen mit der a6000", where he compares it to the Sony A7, using both times Lightroom to push the shadows.
The Sony A7 is fine where earth looks like brown earth, the A6000 picture looks like grass instead.
Please fix this! This is a high volume camera frequently bought by enthusiast or as second body for FF photographers. That would be really great!

I am talking about the two raw files linked in the very last post of page 6 of the Reeves comparison thread, not JPGs or screenshots of unknown manipulation. In LR they both say f/11 and ISO 100 and have a similar tone, but one is shot at twice the shutter speed as the other. This side-by-side is using Adobe Factory Defaults for each image where the profile is Adobe Standard, the toning sliders are all 0, tone-curve linear, and the Sharpening and Color NR are 25:
However, when I look at the camera-embedded JPGs, side-by-side, the 1/80th image on the left is darker than the 1/40th image on the right, as expected given the reported shutter-speed difference:
And it is indeed the darker image that has more shadow problems, also as expected.
When I do manipulate the darker (a6000) raw file in LR, I do see that the shadows are greenish when brightened unlike most other cameras which usually show magenta, which is the combination of the blue and red sensors showing more noise because there are half-as-many photosites as compared to the green, so I am seeing what people are complaining about and would expect shadow noise to be purple not green, I'm more concerned that these two example raws aren't actually comparable due to apparent differences in exposure. It is also odd that the lens listed in LR is different than the lens listed in the filename, so either someone has mistakenly or deliberately renamed the file wrong or someone or something has changed the EXIF parameters that LR is reporting to be the same when they're really not.

Does Lightroom 5.7 support the Canon 7D MkII for tethered shooting?

I have two computers with LR 5.7. I can not get the Canon 7d II to do tethered capture on either one. The tethering tool bar flashes between " Canon 7D Mk II" and "No Camera Detected". The 7D MkII is not one of the cameras listed on the Adobe web site that will do tethered shooting. Given that LR5.7 supports that camera for Camera RAW, why wouldn't it also be able to do tethered capture? Or is there something else I'm missing?

According to the document Tethered camera support in Lightroom the new 7d II is not currently supported in Lr 5.7.

RAW support in Aperture for Sony R1

For Aperture 1.5 the Tech Specs indicate that it supports RAW format for Sony DSC-F828, DSC-V3 and DSLR-A100.
Does anyone know if it then also supports Sony's DSC-R1 digital camera?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello,
Unfotunately it doesn't work at all with the DSC-R1. The new OS system as well as Aperture 1.5 don't provide support for RAW format coming from the DSC-R1.
A few months ago though, you could see on the list of supported camera for Aperture 1.x < 1.5 a possible support for DSC-R1 (the name on list was followed by a star). This was also before the entry on the market of the alpha-100 Sony-Minolta. This is sad, as I guess they preferred tp support a wider spectrum of sold camera with the alpha, on the hypothesis that Sony would sell a lot of them, in fact much more than the DSC-R1.
Personaly, I will try to crack the system to include the DSC-R1, following the instructions provided on this forum.

How do I remove "DNA Software tethered shooting demo for A99" disclaimer from all my during capture?

how do I remove "DNA Software tethered shooting demo for A99" disclaimer from all my images during capture?

I guess the obvious answer is PURCHASE the DNA Software so it won't be a demo unless you have already purchased it and it still won't work and in that case you should contact DNA Software.
