Viewing RAW images in Aperture

I cannot find a similar discussion so I'll post this.
I cannot view RAW files in Aperture since the 3.5 update to 10.9.  The files import correctly and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess.  I have created a new Aperture library and still the problem persists.  Is anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?
Thanks

Chris,
try two things:
use the command "Photos > Reprocess Raw" from the menu bar
and use the command "Photos > Generate Thumbnails"
It looks like the thumbnails of your imported images are broken.

Is your scrambled mess red and blue? Have you perhaps enabled "View > Highlight hot and Cold areas" or "onscreen proofing" with an unsuitable color profile?
Or any presets interfering? Raw decode preset, or an effects preset in the Import panel?

  • Only thumbnail image appears in Viewer; RAW image inaccessible

    I import Nikon D200 RAW images into Aperture project. The thumbnails appear in Browser as normal. I try to view them in the Viewer or Full Page and I only see the thumbnail sized images; and I cannot make adjustments, print or otherwise process the RAW image. The full 15mb NEF image is visible in Finder in the referenced file on the external hard drive and I can access it in Photoshop CS3, but Aperture does not access the RAW file. I have rebuilt the library and created a new library, but the problem persists. Help!!!

    Do the thumbnails have a yellow border? If so, type a "P". You're in Quick Preview Mode.

  • Viewing raw images

    I have photoshop elements nine and have had no problem viewing raw images when i use my compact flash, but i recently purchased a camera that uses sd cards and when i load them i can't see the images only a white sheet with a turned down corner. I need to figure out how to view these images in bridge as well.

    I don't think card is doing anything here. Which camera is this? Every version supports a limited number of raw files and new cameras are supported by latest Adobe Camera Raw. Check out following to know more - http://bit.ly/IUMGIc
    Latest ACR version available for PSE9 is 6.5

  • Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

    Hi:
    When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
    If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
    Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
    Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
    Thank you!

    I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

  • Is there any way to invert raw images in Aperture.

    I am "scanning" a lot of old slides and negatives with a SLR camera using an old professional slide duplicator.
    It is very fast and effective with slides and I have tried with negatives. It goes very well except for I have to invert the negative image in Photoshop and even in 16 bit theres at lot less quality left when I save it back in Aperture for the last color correction.
    The solution would be to be able to do the inversion from negative to positive image i full raw quality inside Aperture.
    Does anyone know if there is at "trick" to invert the raw-image in Aperture?

    There is not.  Inversion is more a rewrite than an adjustment -- best done between the scan and importing, imho.

    I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images.  Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs.  What am I missing?

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • MacBook Pro Retina "Gets Hot when viewing RAW images"

    MacBook Pro Retina Gets really Hot when viewing RAW images - somebody has this issue? Solutions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, download Temperature Monitor and tell us the temperatures of the MacBook > http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    The MacBook Pro with Retina display is made of aluminum, so it's normal that it gets hot. However, if the temperature inside is very high, fans will turn on automatically. If this doesn't happen, it may have a hardware problem

  • Why when I upload a raw image to Aperture

    Why when I upload a raw image to Aperture (23.5mb) and make enhancements to it, then when I export it the size drops drastically (2.1mb)?

    This totally depends on your export settings. RAW files are minimally compressed, JPEG files are very compressed. What output size are you using, and what JPEG compression settings? Note 8-10 for JPEG compression is the sweet spot between quality and filesize. I personally use 10.

  • Viewing RAW images from a Canon 450D in Aperture

    I am obviously missing something.  When I try and view my RAW images from my 450D, I am just seeing a blank black screen.  Any ideas what I should do to view them properly.

    Apple's list of supported cameras is at
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Historically Apple loses market share due to poor support for newer cameras.
    Workarounds include shooting RAW+JPEG and just using the JPEGs until Apple gets to supporting your camera or using Adobe's RAW to DNG converter. Apple canread the DNGs.

  • Blurred S-RAW images in Aperture 3.3.2

    Beginner here so please have patience if I'm doing something stupidly wrong :
    I downloaded some holiday photos from my new EOS7D into Aperture 3.3.2 (latest update) running on OSX10.8, the images are canon S-RAW format which I believe is supported by this version of aperture. The images imported fine but when I view them in viewer they are very blurry. So much so that I thought the camera or lens were at fault or that I was viewing a low resolution version of the photo. All the photo's exhibit the same problem but some are more obvious than others.
    To check my equipment I imported the same photos direct from the camera into Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. The images are pin sharp.
    Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong :
    1. I don't think I'm importing low res images from the camera into Aperture, the aperture image info says the images are RAW (but not S-RAW), and 13MB in size which seems to be correct for S-RAW.
    2. Could my version of Aperture be set to view low res or JPG versions of the S-RAW images, if so how do I change it.
    3. Are there any known issues with S-RAW (CR2) files and aperture ?
    I believe this is a new problem, I looked back at some S-RAW images from my old 40D (same L series 16-35mm lens) viewed in aperture and they look fine
    Any help most welcome.
    Mike B.

    Kirby,
    Plenty of testing but even more confusion I'm afraid :
    1. updated OSX to the latest version 10.8.1, no change to the blurred effect.
    2. updated the 7D firmware to latest version 2.0, no change to the blurred effect.
    took some new photos in various formats and imported using the new updated versions :
    3. new photo's in RAW, blurred effect dissapeared. Images from DPP viewed at 100% were identical when compared to Aperture at 100%
    4. new photos in M-RAW, blurred effect was present quite noticeable when images were compared at 100% size.
    5. photo's in S-RAW, blurred effect was very obvious at all zoom levels especially 100%
    6. imported the same photo's into iphoto 9.3, iphoto mimicked Aperture ie :
    RAW photos were identical in iphoto and DPP, but M-RAW and S-RAW both viewed blurred in iphoto compared to Canon DPP. This one threw me, I had expected iphoto to view correctly in all instances.
    If iphoto hadn't given me the same problem I was going to attempt to re-install Aperture (not quite sure how), but if both iphoto and aperture give the same results, I suspect something more fundamental is going wrong.
    Mike B.
    I tried getting a screen grab for you, I'm not sure if it will work, image on the left is DPP at 100%, image on the right is AP3 at 100%, I cannot get the image on the right to look any better than this in AP3.

  • Cannot view raw images in iphoto 11

    Hi there, I have just upgraded to a new imac running Mountain Lion and iphoto 6.
    Now I can't view the latest raw images I have taken (on my canon eos 550D) - When I scroll through the images they appear for a second or so, then they disappear and are replaced with empty boxes with dotted lines around the outside, when I double click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
    ?? Any idea why this is happening? I saw that my camera is one that is supported by iphoto so am confused as to why this is happening.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

    I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
    When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
    Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
    Marion

    I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
    Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
    When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
    Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9, just installed Lr and can't view RAW images. help please?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 and I can't view my RAW images. How can I view them?

    you can update your pse 9 and hope for the best, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and you can always use dng converter.
    or specify your camera so we can determine whether that will help and if you need a dng converter link, indicate your os.

  • Survey on Number of RAW IMages in Aperture

    I would be interested in knowing how many RAW images people are loading into an Aperture catalog? Does anyone have 100,000 plus images? Does it handle this many photos without slowing down considerably? Any feedback on this subject matter is appreciated. Thanks.

    100,000 images isn't a problem.
    The key is not the number of images in a library, but rather in a specific project. I wouldn't put 5,000 images in a project, but I have 35,000 images in my library (250 GB) and there are no slowdowns to speak of. (Well, I don't click the "all images" smart album often )

  • Importing RAW images from Aperture into iMovie

    Hello.  I'm trying to create a slideshow using iMovie, but apparently it only imports jpeg format images.  Most of my photos are RAW images, and I can't seem to figure out a way to get iMovie to import jpeg versions.  Can anyone help?

    Have just gone through the sequence again - using file - open and then locating the aperture library via applications.  The message I get is that adobe does not recognise this type of file.  I am sure I must be missing something, but cannot figure out what it is - any ideas.
