Unsupported image format from Nikon D90 raw

I am getting the message Unsuported image format when I download my Raw photos from my new Nikon D90 camera. The screen is red. I can not determine what I need to do to correct this problem. Please help.

Thanks for the reply. I did update to the highest aperture 1.5.6, no go.
That is what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure if there was a loop hole I was missing. I love using Aperture but since I just got adobe photoshop elements 8, I can't see paying more $ for an upgrade on aperture 3 when pse will do relatively the same thing. I always shoot in raw. Any other suggestions?
BTW your wife will love the D90, it is an awesome camera. Just did a wedding with it and it did it all. Didn't even need my backup D50. You know what they say, If momma isn't happy, nobody is happy.

  • Unsupported image format message- Nikon 800D

    I just purchased Aperture 3 (3.2.4) and keep getting an "unsupported image format" message when trying to download RAW images.  The thumbnail images do come up- from a new 32GB Sandisk Compact Flash card.  I'm using a new Lexar Professional USB 3.0 reader.  The fact that the thumbnails come up make me think the problem is not with the reader.
    I've tried "reprocess masters" but that doesn't change anything.   I've tried just downloading a single image, and that still gets me the "unsupported" message.
    I'm using 10.7.3 on my iMac.
    Apple indicates that RAW files are supported from the Nikon 800D.  I was able to get metadata information and it did reference Nikon D800 with info on the lens used, aperture, speed etc.   But no image- just that nasty message.
    Has anyone else had this happen and figure out why/how to get a proper RAW download?
    Thanks-   Ted

    OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    You might try to upgrade to MacOS X 10.7.4. The raw support for the Nikon 800D is now part of MacOS X 10.7.4.

    P.S: if this does not help, try to register your camera with the launch services db, as described here:

  • Unsupported Image Format after recent Digital Raw Update..?

    I think there is a serious bug in the most recent digital camera raw update.. Though I am not sure if it's a 10.5.6 update issue or the recent camera raw update (v2.4)... The problem is didn't launch aperture between these so I don't know..
    I have a Leica V-Lux 1 camera. The RAW format for this camera has been supported since leopard came out. However, in a effort to save space I always convert my leica raw files to DNG. This hasn't been a problem for me and things have worked fine... However, after this update I am receiving the dreaded unsupported image format.. What is interesting however, is that this is only for my DNG converted RAW files in aperture.. Those files which I didn't convert to DNG and remain in raw (i have a few) don't have this message. This is serious, I have lost access to my entire collection of pictures as a result..

    The solution to fix this was to restore the 2.3 camera update (RawCamera.bundle) file using time machine. I will have to report this to apple bug reporter as this is a clear problem with 2.4 update and easily reproducible.

  • Unsupported image format from iPhoto

    I just installed Aperture and excitedly moved an album of jpeg pics over from iPhoto to play with and do some corrections on. To my dismay, quite a few of them show the "unsupported image format" screen though they will be identical in format to the ones next to them. I reverted them all to original before I moved them and they are all jpeg. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

    i can't make it out from your screenshot. are your pictures managed or referenced? it's very easy to determine if the problem is with a picture or with aperture. if it's referenced, just look it up with the finder and see if the system can read it. that way you know aperture's the culprit, otherwise you have some kind of disk corruption. if it's managed, you'll have to dig inside the library to look up the picture and do the same thing.
    if your library is corrupt, the easiest way to fix it is to hold command and alt during aperture launch and select rebuild library. depending on the size of it, this may take a while. this should normally fix things, but as i said, it's important to check whether the problem lies withing aperture, or on disk.

  • Unsupported image format for nikon D7000????

    I bought the latest Macbook air 13 inches and the Nikon D7000.
    I tried to import the raw files (NEF) from the Nikon d7000, but it show can't read the files type, or
    unsupported image file. It works fine with my nikon D5000, why?
    anyone can help?

    It's the price we "early adopters" pay. It usually takes a few weeks to even months before Apple and Adobe add support for the latest RAW camera profiles. There is no standard RAW format, even within a brand. It's maddening, but that is the nature of the format.
    For now all we can do is either shoot JPEG and grin and bear it or shoot JPEG + RAW, and when RAW support is available trash the JPEGs and upload the RAWs. Or in your case use the 5000 when you absolutely need RAW.

  • "Unsupported image format" after exporting original RAW file

    My library has been working fine (albeit slow - it is very large).  Today I exported a photo that I have edited and played around with many times in the past.  I inadvertantly exported the Original, and I got an error message (which I don't recall what it said) but then immediately afterward, I could not view the image.  I can't remember if I chose a duplicate version or the edited master to export (not sure why it would make a difference).  Either way the photo did not export and it is now completely unviewable.  I am trying to repair my library to see if that will help.  If not I will try to reprocess my originals (I can't seem to find a way to just reprocess the one image so will have to run it for my entire library).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What is your Aperture 3 version?
    The symptoms you are describing suggest, that Aperture has lost the connection between the edited version of the image and the original image file. This will typically result in being unable to export the originals or to edit.
    As a test - what happens when you select the image in question and press the "M" key to toggle between original version and current version?
    I see this, when the original file is missing:
    Is your library referenced or managed?

  • "Unsupported Image Format" all of a sudden, with previously workable files

    Folks,
    I've got an issue that seems very strange indeed.
    Months ago, I bought a Pentax K20D. I also bought a 17" MacBook Pro and Aperture. Camera and Aperture played well together.
    I encountered the known issue with white spots on the image when using the 2-second timer for long exposures. I read about how the Pentax firmware update 1.01 changed the EXIF Make information, causing Aperture to be unable to read the K20D PEF RAWs. So I waited.
    When Aperture 2.1.1 was released (and I think the Apple RAW update), I installed both of those. When I heard through this forum that the updates fixed the problem, I also updated my camera's firmware and confirmed that it worked.
    So smooth sailing for a few months on Aperture 2.1.1, OS 10.5.3 (or .4, I forget), and K20D firmware 1.01.
    Then I bought a Mac Pro 8-Core with 10.5.4 on it. I sold the 17" MacBook Pro. I used the Migration Wizard to move my user account from one machine to the other, but did a fresh install of all applications. (I've been an Apple tech for the past 7 years, and have various certifications. I know the user transfer process isn't perfect, but it should have the following results... read on)
    Now, in Aperture 2.1.1 on 10.5.4 with all updates, PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.01 that were previously edited, manipulated, etc just fine on my MacBook Pro say "Unsupported Image Format" in a big reddish-black box when I try to view the master. If I switch to Quick Preview, it displays just fine, but is un-adjustable. Additionally, any NEW images I copy from my K20D show in the Import window as being 0x0 pixels (or occasionally 160x120 pixels) and will only show a tiny preview or "Unsupported Image Format." All PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.0 are just fine.
    So here's what I've done:
    1) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.4 on another HD in the Mac Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This should be perfectly clean. It gives the "Unsupported Image Format" error with any new images from my K20D. Copying the library from my other partition gives the same problems as described earlier.
    2) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.3 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. Applied the Apple RAW update and iLife enhancements. It gives the same errors as before.
    3) Tested a fresh install of 10.4.11 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This worked perfectly for all PEFs and DNGs.
    4) Took a month-old backup (from when everything was working just fine) of my Aperture Library and loaded it into all of the above configurations. Same results!
    So what is the deal here? Aperture all of a sudden can't read images that it itself was able to edit a month ago? How come it works just fine in 10.4.11? This seems really messy. I have essentially lost a lot of the work I've put in.
    I can use DNGs moving forward, but my past work is now messed up, and the DNGs are almost 75% bigger than the PEFs!
    Anyone have any ideas for resolution or should I just call Apple?
    Message was edited by: MonsieurBon

    If it's any consolation, I had the EXACT same problem today; just opened Aperture 2 and my entire library of images shows "unsupported image format' -- the thumbnails are still intact but clicking on any image suddenly shows the red screen.
    Same situation, these images were previously editable and accessible. We had a power outage an hour ago and initially I thought my library had crashed, but I was not actually using Aperture 2 at the time of the outage so I don't think that's the case.
    Given the relatively sparse attention Apple gives to these forums, I don't expect there will be a quick response.
    I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed, I don't have access to another version of the OS to see if I can get it work. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a series of Software Updates recently? I click on these without really checking the apps that are affected; could Aperture have been one of the apps 'revised' by the recent update?

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

  • Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

    Hi,
    I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
    After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
    This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
    I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
    * NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
    Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
    This requires a fix ASAP
    Martin

    Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
    On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
    I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
    Best,
    CD

  • Nikon D5000 RAW "Unsupported Image Format"

    Well here's another one for the Unsupported Image Format category. I just received a Nikon D5000 took a hundred or two shots in RAW format only to find after importing them to Aperture a row of thumbnails. Now if only after clicking on a thumbnail for viewing it displayed the image and not "Unsupported Image Format".

    all set with adobe raw 5.4, i grabbed the converter because the plugin is a p.i.t.a. and the installer isn't very friendly if you delete the plugin and try to start over. available from the labs at: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/CameraRaw5.4
    i wouldnt expect apple to add compatibility till 10.5.8. its a big name and soon to be popular machine. so i would bet on it. but when that comes, id also bet to be a long time from now.

  • 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.

  • Nikon D70 RAW files now get "Unsupported Image Format"

    Prior to March 12th, everything was working fine with my D70 Raw files. I now get the maroon "Unsupported Image Format" (USF) when I select the images that were previously fine. They show up for a fraction of a second before I get the error. I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I can export the RAW files and open them in Photoshop so they are OK. Also now when I import from my D70 I get the gray box instead of the image and a letterbox maroon USF message, the EXIF data still imports and is associated with the image. Help. I did upgrade to 1.1.1
    Dual 1.8Ghz Powermac G5 2GB RAM Radeon X800 XT   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well, I can't really put my finger on it. I know for sure it happened post 1.1 upgrade, but it happened with 1.0 as well (I didn't do any troubleshooting when it first happened, just re-imported and it was fine.) The last time it happened it was the last 20 images on the original CF card, mostly in succession, but there were a few images that were still able to be read okay inside of that 20 image string. I reimported from the original card (thank God I had not erased yet!) and it was fine.
    At least I know to keep my originals outside of aperture, what a space wasting bummer! I don't think I have any bad RAM because I've been running for 2 years without any real problems... The minor problems have happened, I believe with very tough weather conditions (humidity) and I experienced problems on all my Macs and even at work on windows. Maybe it was sun flares or static electricity, I don't know. The other issue is that my a/c power dips to low voltage often and my UPS switched to battery. I have a better UPS which always outputs 120v even when things sag or jump.
    The only other thing I can possibly think of is that I have my Aperture library on a new Seagate 300GB drive that has only been used for images and sits dormant in my system except for scratch disk and Aperture. Actually, I did use it for about a month or two mirroring my boot drive with no errors, so I think the drive is good. Grr!
    Troubleshooting rare occurances without have access to trace level data *****! (At work we can take a trace dump from our equipment and the guys can see pretty quickly what happened, and if it is hardware or software issue.)
    To clarify, which Dual 1.8 do you have? The June 2004 one with only 4 RAM slots, or the 2003 one that was added to the original lineup with 8 RAM slots?
