Unsupported dng leica m9

I have recently imported a series of DNG files from a Leica M9 into Aperture. I receive a message that these are in an "unsupported image format." Has anyone had and resolved this problem.
Cheers,
-George

HI William, Thank you fro your quick reply. Please see the answer to your questions below:
Have you tried quitting and restarting Aperture? YES If you try and view one of the files via double clicking in the Finder, does it work OK? NO
How are you importing them? Are you using a CF card reader, or directly via USB connection to the camera? SD reader built into my MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Have you previously used RAW files from the M9 with success, or is this the first time you've imported M9 photos?
Yes, this has worked fine in the past. The photos are also not readable by Lightroom nor do DNG to DNG conversions via Adobe work. I suspect there might be a formatting issue with the SD Card. I will reformat and see if that helps on new images. It will be ashame to lose the old images.

LR5 - 2 boitiers - trier par heure de prise de vue

Bonjour,a tous
A l'importation dans un catalogue de LR5 sous MAC ,de DNG Leica puis de NEF Nikon ou inversement ,une carte aprés l'autre, il ne respecte pas l'heure précise de prise de vue .
Le filtre de biblio ne permet pas de les classées correctement.
Impossible de les classées dans le bon ordre!!
Merci de m'apporter une solution .

Comment les appareils étaient-ils synchronisés ? quel est le résultat obtenu et attendu ? 2 boîtiers différents sur un évènement, je suppose ?

Leica DNG import from iPad unsupported.

I have 1000'a of DNGS from my Leica imported into my Aperture 3.0 library and they are all perfect. But on a recent trip i imported files from my card onto my iPad. DNG's don't seem to be supported, but it does read the JPR embedded so I can view them on the iPad - sort of.
I just imported these DNG's into Aperture 3.1.1 vie the import option in Aperture. Every DNG imported is being displayed as "unsupported image format".
What am I missing? Has anybody else seen this?
All updates have been applied to the iPad, Aperture and Mac OS X. Thx.

OK, a short-term fix is to download the files from your Ipad to Macbook using iPhoto--not Aperture. Then you need to move them on your Macbook from iPhoto to Aperture. This works fine. In my case, Aperture seems unable to download the DNGs directly from the iPad. (I'm on hold with Apple trying to figure this out.) But camera to iPad download via iPhoto and moved to Aperture does work fine. The images in fine form that way.

Intermittent "Unsupported image format" message with either CR2 or DNG

I am seeing "Unsupported image format" messages once files created by a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii (+stored in Canon's CR2 file format or when the same file is converted to Adobe's DNG file format+) have been imported into Aperture.
Some files will import and be viewable. However, most of the time the files are not viewable. This occurs even after updating Aperture to 1.5.6.
Is anyone else seeing problems with CR2 or DNG files created by Canon EOS 1Ds Mark iii?
Has anyone see a solution?

I think Support is confused with the Canon camera models.
10.5.1 supports 1D Mk III, but only 1Ds Mk II.
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html)
I don't believe that 10.4.11 supports anything that 10.5.1 doesn't support. In fact, the docs at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297 say "Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Leica V-Lux 1, Olympus E-400, Olympus EVOLT E410, Olympus EVOLT E510, Canon EOS 40D" (the 1D Mk III came in the 10.4.10 update.)

I can't load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Says it's an unsupported file. Help please!

I cannot load raw files from a Leica d-lux 6. Aperture says it's an unsupported file. How do I get it to be a supported file? Help, please!

What is your Aperture version? Here is the list of supported raw formats for Aperture 3, see: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Your camera is not on the list. Use the software that came with your camera to convert your raw files to dng or tiff images; then you can import the images into Aperture and work with them, while waiting for Apple to release raw support for your camera. Or shoot raw+jpeg pairs and use the jpeg while you are waiting.
Is Mac OS X (10.5.1) really your current operating system? Then you may need to upgrade, when Apple finally releases raw support for your camera. The newest raw support required Aperture 3.4. to be installed.

Leica M9 and Aperture3 not showing camera aperture setting when import DNG files. Shutter speed and ISO are indicated, but not aperture. When I export and open in Adobe Camera Raw aperture setting is displayed.

Does any one have a suggestion as to how to get A3 to show the camera aperture setting on Leica M9 DNG files?

You will want to read this thread in its entirety.
The short story (as I understand it) is that the M9 body receives no information about aperture from attached lenses. It is able to derive an estimate of the aperture, though, and it lists this derived number in the metadata field "Approximate F-stop" (not the exact field name). Aperture (the program) does not report the contents of this proprietary field.

Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
—Andreas

Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

Unsupported Image Format for DNG from GF1?

I am in the process of trying to switch from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3 (in case you are wondering why the main reason is increasing integration between iOS and Aperture).
Most of the images in my Lightroom catalog are from Nikon DSLRs which when I import as DNGs from Lightroom into Aperture show up just fine. However, all of the old DNGs I try to import from Lightroom as DNGs that were shot with my Panasonic GF1 don't render in Aperture and just show up as "Unsupported Image Format."
Please note that new GF1 images I import from the SD card of my GF1 import just fine. The problem seems limited to GF1 images saved in Lightroom as DNGs that I am importing into Aperture.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?
Thank you.

Solved it. Had nothing to do with Photoshop PS4 install, it had to do with moving my home space to a larger external drive. One of the "import" setting changed (I don't remember changing it) such that the images weren't getting imported into Aperture. (Re-?)checked that, and all is well. Will go for the PS4-reinstall tomorrow.

DNG Download from Leica M9 Camera

My LR3.3 on Win-7 is trying to download DNG compressed by Leica M9. Images are visible in grid view, but when I go to full size preview the message is "Preview not possible" or something similar.
Tried to download ACR6,4 but was informed this was not necessary. Then installed Adobe DNG converter v. 6.4 but response is the same.
Other problem is that LR3 is not presented as an AutoPlay option in Win-7..
Any help appreciated.

Sorry I was not clear. Just succeeded in LR3.3 under Win XP SP3, viewing DNG by Leica DMR. Import candidates are in grid view then previewed one prior to import in loupe view no prob. That is what failed in Win 7 with compressed DNG fm Leica M9 using SanDisk Ultra 8 GB SDHC.
Good news is that the aforesaid loupe preview has now succeeded with 2GB SD card. This, mind you, despite recommended use of SanDisk in the M9 manual. Thanks for your help.
Best, jwc

Leica DNG images slow to open in Bridge

I'm finding that opening Leica DNG files in Bridge is very slow. Once I click on a image in the light table in Bridge it takes several seconds before that image appears in the preview box.And to move from one image to another in the light table is also very slow. I get the dreaded spinning wheel. Also once in a while when I click on an image in the light table I get a black border around the image.
When I click on a image from a Nikon D2X DNG file it appears instantaneously in the preview box and I can move from one image to another without any delay.
Has anyone run into this problem and are there any suggestions to correct the problem?
Thanks in advance

Camera profiles in DNG from camera (Leica S2, M8)

Hi all,
I´m reviewing captures from the Leica S2, which is saving Raw in the DNG format after capture. There is only one camera profile in the DNG files ("embedded"). Compared to a JPEG (mode DNG+JPG for capture) of the same shot the color rendering with the embedded profile is more saturated and slightly shifted in the hues. Greens get an ugly plastic look.
I have captures with Leica M8, too. They have more camera profiles: Embedded, Adobe Standard, Camera Standard and ACR legacy (3.6, 4.4).
As I understand Leica M8 DNGs are supported by Adobe with camera specific camera profiles while Leica S2 DNGs are NOT supported by Adobe with specific camera profiles.
Please can someone clarify this?
Second question: Is the Leica S2 embedded profile a camera specific profile (from Leica) or a general camera profile? Who is in charge for the embedded profile?
Mike
((posted this yesterday in DNG forum too, but this forum seems to be more visited))

As far as I can see, any support for the S2 raw files is preliminary (which means it's NOT officially supported with a full range of color profiles).
Jeff,
I´ve got shots from two S2 cameras and they are pre-production (in terms of firmware, Leica will update this).
I process them with ACR 5.6 / LR 2.6.
As far as I understand "embedded" means color rendering as supposed by the camera maker (in this case Leica) and "Adobe Standard" does mean an official camera profile from Adobe. "Embedded" is pretty close to the color rendering of the S2´s JPEGs.
By the way, Capture One does open the DNG with a "DNG File Neutral" ICC profile. The color rendering is quite different. I know there is no DNG camera profile support in other applications than ACR/LR.

Issue sending Leica M9 DNGs to CS4 Photomerge

I've just attempted to send two M9 DNGs to CS4 photomerge and was asked to install Camera Raw 5.6.1 - otherwise there was a risk the program wouldn't run. True enough - it crashed.
My problem is that I can't find Camera Raw 5.6.1 anywhere. Is anyone able to help?
Thanks
C:

Thanks for your message - this is the error message. I have 5.6 installed...
One thing that's interesting is that it shows how little I'm using Photoshop these days - Lightroom 2 does pretty well everything I need (and the print module in LR3 beta actually works!)
Still - I do want to make this panorama without having to export TIFFs, and I will need to edit Leica DNGs in CS4, so I hope someone at Adobe can advise...

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

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.

No preview when I import DNG files from Leica M9

Hello,
A stange thing...when I import DNG from my Leica M9 direct from the APN card into Aperture I have no preview of the files I want to import...only the generic icon DNG.
If I import on a folder on the desktop and after I import in Aperture no problem.
Do you have the same problem ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

WAV files in iTunes don't have ID3 tags like you want.
Here's a wiki on it

Short answer, I don't think you can do this with iTunes.
You can suggest it through the feedback links.

Leica X1 DNG files not viewable thumbnails in Media Expression

Hi-
I just bought a Leica X1 which shoots raw in DNG format but the raw DNG files it creates to not display thumbnails in Media Expression (formerly a micorsoft product, now Phase one).
I am running mac OS X 10.6.4
One "solution" offered in the Leica forum was to run the Leica DNG file in DNG converter... I did and it worked but that is a really really clumsy solution to what I feel should not be a problem.... and renaming and deleting original files etc it a real PITA if you shoot any number of photos.
I know that Nikon had issues with new versions of NEF files which had something to do with "header changes" in the NEF file before ACR could decode them, and I'm wondering if there is some similar issue with DNG that I am not aware of.
Any information would greatly be appreciated.
cheers,
tom

the "appear for a moment" is probably Aperture showing the preview image in the .raw file, before deciding that it can't handle the raw image data.
(If it is this, then odds are Finder will show the images but Preview.app will also fail to.)
Clearly MacOS understands the .raw file format, but thinks that it doesn't have support for however your camera identifies itself in the EXIF data. Modifying the Raw.plist is the way to try, for now.
