Unspported Image format with PSD RGB files

I been using Aperture from the first day it became available. My file are either RAW or PSD files. Lately I have been creating panoramic images in Photoshop and importing them into Aperture. All the images are RGB PSD files. My understanding is that Aperture support these formats, but I have three images that can not be viewed in Aperture. All I get is the Unsupported image Format. I have rebuild my library. Resaved the images, double checked and recheck to make sure the images are RGB, Reinstalled Aperture. Nothing works. Sometimes the image can been seen in Aperture but as I work the images are replaced by the unsupported Image Format error. I would like to published my images to my site and print the image out of Aperture for shows. Any suggestions on how to fix this issues.

How big are the files? It's easily possible to generate Photoshop files that are too big -- e.g. PSB files which can be 2 GB or more in size -- if you are stitching.
Also note you should have "maximize compatibility" turned on in Photoshop -- this saves a flattened layer in the file so it can be properly displayed in Aperture, given Aperture itself doesn't understand the layers. I don't think this latter thing is your issue though.

Unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop.

As from today,I am getting an unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop. I have made nothing more than as crop on the image. Why?

Ernie, I misread your post indeed. I never saw a option to send RAW files to an external editor. All I can see is the option to chose what editor and then specify if PSD or TIFF is used. I always use PSD, usually 16bit and in one other installation in 8bit (due to RAM restrictions there).
So Aperture creates the PSD version and PS edits that very version and saves it back into aperture. This is where I sometimes () get that "unsupported image" problem.
I think this also is what Mike does: select a RAW master, use an external editor -> Aperture creates a PSD or TIFF. I haven't tried the TIFF option , though.
My main point was: it all worked for a very long time and with the latest updates it is broken.
have a good day.

Changing images' formats in .PSD files.

How can I change these without copying single images to new files, changing there and copying back?
e.g. I've pasted some large tiffs into one .psd and want to convert them to jpgs, keeping the rest of my .psd as it is.

Most image formats are disc-based, meaning that the format change takes place while saving the file. If you have a .psd and want a jpeg, SAVE IT as a jpeg, etc. -- This has advantages: there is potentially a lot more information in the psd file than the jpeg, so it is wise to retain the psd, as well as the jpeg you need in the moment.

Suddenly "Unsupported Image Format" with previously good image files

Aperture 3.3.2 under OS 10.7.4 on a 2011 MBP with 8 GB RAM and no overfilled drives.
Nikon D2x NEF + JPEG files, RAW as Master. Has been working fine for weeks, no change in setup of any kind. No crashes until hours after this problem presented today. As recently as yesterday I was round-tripping to Photoshop and exporting from Aperture smooth as silk.
Suddenly today most images will not open in Photoshop via Aperture but they open fine in PS from the referenced originals. Aperture will not export NEf files or most PSD files. JPEGs as Masters work normally.
Aperture apparently sees the referenced files fine, including displaying and zooming. Most of the time. This is not an issue of unconnected originals.
I have tried rebuilding the database, repairing permissions, deleting plist, etc. About half the time Aperture ends up stuck and reqs a force quit. Tested with multiple Libraries. New image files imported tday for testing work normally with any Library.
I tried Terminal mode and Léonie's string
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/Isregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
multiple tries always came back with "no such file or directory."
This was a very stable setup so I am very _not_ desirous of starting to upgrade things just because. I have an upgrade plan for 10.8 but for good reasons do not want to do it just yet. Also I do not want to back up or upgrade from anything broken. 100% of originals are readily available, but there are many tens of thousands...
Any ideas would be appreciated.
TIA

Allen,
there have been several threads with similar problems of broken references to raw images; in some cases even with managed raw images, that cannot be reconnected, for example:
Raw images all blank
One more reason to avoid managed libraries.
The "lsregister" command must exist on your machine. It may move around a bit, because there are many links in the path to current versions.
After the last update I found this direct path (MacOS X 10.8.2):
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
To search the "lsregister" command in your system, try to open the "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework" in the Finder and to navigate from there:
Typing "open /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework" into the Terminal will open a Finder window in the directory (as you probably will know )
Added: If newly imported raws are recognized without problems it is unlikely to be a problem of missing raw conversion registration. I am just concerned about the error message you get.

How do I convert an AI - CMYK file to an editable PSD - RGB file ?

Trying to design my online components from a AI CMYK poster for an event...but I'm getting terrible pixaltion when I drag and drop the different elements into PSD...so clearly its not converting.
Is there a way to convert the Illustrator - CMYK file into and editable PSD file in RGB?
Any help would be awesome.
Cheers
Kirby

Here is a bit more detail, posted in teh /r/graphicdesign on Reddit
"Not sure if this is the right sub but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced pixilation when uploading banner images for event with Facebook?
I'm exported this image http://imgur.com/vWV5OnN but when posted to Facebook it comes out like thishttp://imgur.com/sbhz94e
Any ideas whats happening?"
I designed the main poster as CMYK in AI- CS6
Then dragged and dropped the layers into a new PSD - CS6 file.
Maybe they arent' web safe colours?

Freezing Finder with PSD/TIF files - HELP!

Hello everyone,
First of all, I am pretty much ******. I've invested over 2400€ for my brand new Imac and now, out of nothing, my finder in Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.4 starts to hang/freeze whenever I get into the folder with large PSD/TIF files.
It started with large TIF files. I have placed them along with other PSD projects and they range about 50-300MB each. These files are in a specific project folder. Now I get into the folder, and it doesn't matter how I view it. Either in list or symbol view. I scroll down, bam! Pizza of death or wheel of death, and no, I am not able to force quit the finder.
I am like what the ****..?! I just swapped over to the Mac. I just fell the love of the Mac slogan: "It just works". Yeah, I can feel it..
I've installed Xee image viewer before, deleted it again, no change. I even deleted Norton Anti Virus, no change, problem still exist. I've been up till around 5AM with no sleep, trying to figure out what has caused this problem. I think loosing it. I googled like mad, but there were no significant solutions.
HOWEVER, if I start up Pathfinder, and go to the projects folder, I can seamlessly view all project files PSD/TIF within the Finder and quicklook. It wont hang OSX. This is my current solution... but I don't want to use PathFinder all the time, just to get to my projects folder.
I really need your help. (x_x)
Thanks

Wow, that was a fast response, thank you.
I did remove Norton after the incidence, and yet, the problem exist.
I used to open my project files with Photoshop CS5. Before I open anything, I browse through my project data within the Finder, i.e list view + quick view, I just scroll up and down within the window to check out the data name before I open it.
Everything works just fine. I used to use Xee image viewer and I can literally open and view any image. But as soon the files get larger in size, and the more files I got in one folder - like 100+, the more it was likely, that my Finder hangs. And it still does.
It starts to freeze immediately within seconds or when I scroll down more and there it goes, spinwheel goes nuts and I have to restart my Imac (omg). I did that like 8-10 times now. I left my Mac on when I went to bed for 2h, and after I checked it again, the spinwheel didn't do anything then spin and I could not quit Finder. Everything hangs.
All I need to do, is to open my Projects folder, and boom, freeze. I thought it was due to the large TIF files. I deleted them via Adobe Bridge, because I can't go to that folder with Finder, otherwise it'll freeze AGAIN. Now I had the PSD files left, they are about 50-300MB big, and I got around 100 of them in one folder. Issue still remains.
I deleted almost everything, checked my startup icons and so forth, but I did not have the problem before, or I didn't notice it.
I can however browse lots of PSD files with smaller sizes AND as I mentioned in the above post. I can view my project folder with PATHFINDER and ADOBE BRIDGE with absolutely NO single problem.
I guess it's a Finder-Preview-PSD Extension- etc problem? I got the Mac like a month and now I got this. Gladly no one can tell me I got this issues due to some weird Trojans or "badly configured" computer.

Unsupported image format with 3:2 or 16:9 aspect for Leica Digilux 3

I can import RAW files just fine with my Leica Digilux 3 dslr, but when I import RAW images using 3:2 or 16:9 aspect formats, aperture comes up with unsupported image format. appreciate any feedback.
as an fyi, it does it on a macbook pro and an imac

"Unsupported image format" with my new Nikon D800E - please help.

I get this message: "unsupported image format" when I try to load photos from my new Nikon D800E. Aperture 2.1.4. Worked fine with old Nikon D300. I can get a thumbnail image in Projects, but that's it. Suggestions, please?!

Maria, the raw support for the Nikon D800E requires Aperture 3, see the technical specifications for the raw support in Aperture: D800E**, ** Requires Aperture 3 or later.

How to load compressed tiff image formats with JIMI

this method
Image image=image = Jimi.getImage(imgResource);returns incorrect Image width & height (-1) for TIFF compressed formats.
is there any jimi example showing how to properly load the tiff compressed image ?
thanks.

Wild guess: how old is JIMI technology? Has it been
kept uptodate, or has
it been abandoned? And is LZW compression in TIFF
format a more recent feature?yes i checked jimi docs and here is what they say :
TIFF
* Bi-level / Greyscale / Palette / True Color images
* Uncompressed images
* CCITT compressed Bi-level images with CCITT RLE, CCITT Group 3 1D Fax, CCITT Group 3 2D Fax, CCITT Group 4 Fax, CCITT Class F Fax
* Packbits compressed images
* LZW Compressed images
* Tiled TIFF files
* Handles all values of Orientation
* TIFF / JPG compression variant
* any color space except RGB
* True Color images not of Red/Green/Blue format

Featured Request with psd layered files

Photoshop Layered files that include alpha channel show the alpha channel visually in aperture thumbnails and previews. They usually look like white or black masks around the subject.
This is a very undesirable feature. What is needed is the ability to ignore the alpha channel. This was done in iView several years ago when I was using that as my database. The software team in iView was able to quickly, in their next version, to add an ignore alpha channel check box, which eliminated seeing the alpha channels.
I hope the aperture team will consider this as a very necessary feature. Layered psd files are just as important as raw files to many photographers. I hate using more then one database to manage my files.
How many of you guys and gals out there are interested in this feature??? I personally consider this a very important feature for many photographers using a database type program like aperture.

Theoretically, yes, but this doesn't actually always work.
Despite Photoshop saving a composite preview, Apple's photoshop-reading routine also reads the alpha channel, and renders an alpha-masked version of the composite in Aperture, Preview, etc. This is true whether the alpha channel is visible/applied in the Photoshop document or not (ie, you can use quickmask to create a selection, save that selection, then have it turned off in your channels pallet, and it'll still get applied as an alpha mask to the complete flattened composite that Adobe provides, by Apple's photoshop/psd reading routines).
The only workaround that I'm aware of for this, is to create an empty alpha mask as the highest-level alpha channel in any document that has alpha channels (visible or not). Select your RGB channels, create a new channel, select it, select all and delete, then drag it to the position directly below the RGB channel set, save, and then Aperture will display the image properly.

Hello Oliver,
I know this is 2 years old, I have a Mac Pro from 2007. I just updated to Lion so I can use Adobe CC software. iCal has been trying to update, or upgrade as it says, and it's showing like it's doing something but it doesn't respond. Have to force quit. It's been 4 days now. I use ical extensively in my business. Any ideas on how to fix that?
thanks,

Unsupported image format with Leaf Aptus 65

Hello all,
even after the latest Aperture update to 1.5.6, Aperture gives an error message with Leaf Aptus 65 RAW files. I can see the image for a second. Anyone here with this digital back but not having this problem?
Thanks.

How I fixed the "unsupported image format" error for RAW files

After deleting the .plist file stopped working, I decided to go ahead & reinstall Aperture and...voila--problem fixed. RAW files are again displaying without any trouble (just like they used to!)
G5 2.3DP Mac OS X (10.4)

Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

Hi
Bryan Thanks for your help. i am thinking to create an independent Java or C++ program to change the file from UTF-8 to ANSI char set
and shchedule to run to change csv file char set before mail it to client by BO
In this design how we can get the event by BO that file has been created and yet to send by email or FTP
I can see two type of event
Event to Wait for
Event to Trigger on complition
if i create two event
CSV_UTF8_CREATED - will be fire by BO once BO create file and yet to send email
CSV_ANSI_CREATED - will be fire by program once it convert from UTF_8 to ANSI
please guide if its possible to create such event and fire by BO on file creation and yet to send to destination
