Which RAW format of Digital camera does iPhoto '08 support?

I couldn't find any document about that on the apple website.
I've been using Panasonic DMC-FZ8 which is nice one but iPhoto 6 doesn't support yet.
I'm going to buy iLife '08 if iPhoto '08 supports it.
Anyone knows?

Hi TD,
Thanks for your help.
I didn't know it up to the OS level.
Because I can use RAW format of FZ8 on another software.
And when iPhoto updated, apple announces new RAW format support camera.
This is the one of software which can read FZ8 RAW file.

Sorry, it's a Japanese but you can see the list.
Actually, I used this on OSX 10.4.8.
And I've tried another software before which can do it as well.
But iPhoto 6 doesn't read FZ8 RAW file on OSX 10.4.10...

Cant find the pictures I imported from my digital camera using iphoto

Hi,
I have a macbook pro and imported part of some photos from my digital camera using Iphoto. When it prompted me whether the photos should be deleted from the camera, I chose 'yes'. It deleted the pictures from the camera, but I cant find them anywhere on iphotos. I have tried searching for the pics on my mac using the 'finder', but had no luck.
I repeated the same thing.. took some more pictures and tried to import part of them and then delete the same pics from the camera. Iphotos did the same thing..
I usually import all (and not part) of the pictures from my camera and then use the same option to delete the pictures from the camera after importing them to iphotos. This has always worked.
Please help. Thanks,
Kanchan

In the Event mode make sure the sort order is By Date ➙ Descending. That will put the newer Events at the top of the window. Check there to see if they are there or not.
The safest method to get photos from a camera to the library is to upload them to a folder on the Desktop first. That makes sure they are safely on the hard drive. From there you can import the folder into the library and when you've confirmed they are in the library you can delete the folder from the Desktop and have the camera reformat the memory card.

Does iPhoto 11 support RAW files from Nikon D800?

Does iPhoto 11 support Raw files from a Nikon D800 or do I need to upgrade to Apeture? I am running 10.7.4. and currently use iPhoto '09

Aperature and iPhoto use the same RAW support - you probably need to upgrade to iPhoto '11 - purchase from the App store, backup your iPhoto library and upgrade - the RAW support list is here

Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera. iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode. Help!

I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected. At least that happens with my camera. Good luck.

Photoshop doesn't recognize digital camera but iPhoto does.

I want to use Photoshop with my digital camera (Canon Rebel XT).
Photoshop is CS4 and iPhoto is at version 8.1.2.
OSX 10.6.8.
As soon as I plug-in my camera iPhoto starts, i don't want that.
I don't see my camera in Photoshop's menu in IMPORT or elsewhere.
thanks!
louis

Couple of things:
1. That's not what Photoshop does. It's not an image manager, it's a file editor. So, you can set Photoshop to start when you connect your camera but it will stat and nothing will happen.
2. You need to decide how you want to manage your photos. You can do this with iPhoto, the Finder or something else. Which ever you decide let us know and we can help you set that up.

VuPoint Solutions DC-M306AT-VP Digital Camera - Does it work with iPhoto

I'm looking for an inexpensive digital camera for my son. One option is the VuPoint Solutions DC-M306AT-VP 3.1MP fixed focus camera. I saw it at Ritz Camera. Its only $69.
Has anyone tried connecting this camera to iPhoto? It has built in memory (16MB) plus an SD slot. I'm guessing that even if the camera won't work with iPhoto, the SD card can be read in an external reader. Your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Keith,
Thanks for your reply. After going to their website http://www.vupointsolutions.com (which I didn't find earlier because Google searches inundate you with sellers rather than OEM links), I found some more clues. The FAQ for this particular camera states no drivers are needed for Windows XP and 2000. This is typically true for standard USB devices like memory card readers and hard drives and those usually also work on a Mac so I'm getting more confident that it will work.
But, there was another odd entry in the FAQ that kind of turns me off. It states that its normal for the camera to drain the batteries dead even when its not being used. It has internal SDRAM to keep alive. If the batteries die, you lose any photos stored in the internal memory and they recommend using an SD card.
For a few dollars more (approx $112), I'm leaning towards the Nikon Coolpix L10 or Canon A460. I can use it myself when I don't want to lug the Canon Digital Rebel around.

How to format my digital camera?

I have a Canon digital camera that I have used with my iPhoto program frequently for still photographs. Recently, I took some short videos with my camera and I'm not sure how to access them on my computer. I think I need to import them into iMovie, but when I try to do this, it says that no camera is detected. Can anyone guide me through this? I'm not that computer savvy, so the simpler, step by step instructions would be most helpful. Thanks!

Hi Sarah: First, your inquiry is misleading. Formatting your camera has little to do with accessing your videos. Anyway, I, too, take occasional short videos with my Kodak camera. What I do, however, is simply attach my camera to my mac, activate iPhoto, and when it tells me to, I hit the download button and all pics, both still and video, enter iPhoto's library. Then, after your through, disengage the camera ( always make sure that you turn your camera OFF before doing this).
Your video pics are easily located in the iPhoto library - they are the only ones with a small camcorder logo in the bottom left of the frame, and each video will have the length in minutes and seconds on the frame. Merely click on it and voila!, you can watch it in Iphoto. If you want to burn it to a cd, you can easily do that by placing a blank cd (or dvd) into your superdrive, and hitting the burn button. Nothing more to it! You can also import them into iDvd or iMovie, but that is another topic.
As for formating your camera, only do it if you want to completely and forever delete and otherwise erase every pic on your camera's internal drive or memory card. It's not a bad idea, actually, to reformat if you've otherwise downloaded your pics onto your mac and have them archived to an external HD or onto blank disks in case your internal hardrive goes kerplunk! Your camera's menu will direct you how to do it in a few seconds, which effectively erases every image and gives you a fully clean slate. Hope this helps. wd

Support for RAW format for Leica cameras

Does anyone know when iPhoto might provide RAW support for the Leica D-LUX 3 digital camera?

Larry, thx for the clarity. I didn't realize asking about future directions was a no-no here.
I since found an Apple document indicating support for the Leica D-LUX 3 and RAW format in an OS 10.4.10(?) release. I think I'll have to drag my Mac to the camera store, take a few pics with the D-LUX 3, attempt to sync and see if/how the RAW images come over, and then advise here on if it worked with OS 10.5.2 and iPhoto '08.

Importing sound formats from Digital Cameras

I know this is partly covered elsewhere, but if anyone comes up with a way to import video shot on digital cameras and then saved on iPhoto, please let me know. I have a wonderful Casio Exlim S880, that outputs Quicktime movies direct, but with DVI ADPCM audio -- which iMovie '08 simply rejects. Speaking to Casio engineers in Japan, they rightly see it as Apple's problem.
I know I can convert these movies using iSquint, QT Pro, or iTunes, but to do this over a lot of files is a pain. It SHOULD be possible in iMovie. This major problem aside, I'd be happy with iMovie's lower level capabilities.

Not only are we dealing with apples and oranges here, we're dealing with two entirely different philosophies and reasons for existence!
"..So no one's at fault precisely, but without iMovie having access to high quality input, it defeats its purpose of the software itself being low cost, no?.."
Camera manufacturers are just that: camera manufacturers. They earn their money by selling cameras; making them simple and efficient to use, pretty to look at, and - as Jon says - they aim to "store video in the smallest space possible while retaining reasonable quality". They don't really give a hoot what you do with the video after you've shot it.
..Like Kodak, when their main business was making film: you buy (or bought) the film ..but what you actually used it for (scientific recording, family snaps, wildlife photography, cataloguing postage stamps) they didn't care about.
Apple, on the other hand, doesn't make cameras (though they used to sell some of the first digital snapshot cameras, and the standalone iSight). Their - intangible - product is "ease of use".
That's what Apple sells: "buy our products, and we'll make portable music easy to use; we'll make photo-manipulation easy; we'll make web-browsing easy; we'll make electronic mail easy; we make everything to do with computers easy; we'll make video editing easy".
The camera manufacturers aren't necessarily talking to Apple ..the camera manufacturers go off on their own route, trying to give their individual products Unique Selling Points so that people will buy theirs in preference to another manufacturer's.
They aim to cram as much data as possible into the smallest (physical or virtual) space possible, add pretty design, long battery life, low price, reasonable reliability (so that they don't have to take back faulty devices) with a high profit margin. They want to get their items to market as soon as possible.
They don't want to consult with people in other industries (Apple, in the "ease of use" business), they just want to get their product on shelves.
(..In the case of Sony, and HDV video, there was some involvement with Apple, so that Sony could reassure users - primarily pro and semi-pro users - that the material they shot really could be edited. But miniDV pioneers JVC never bothered with that. And Sony never bothered talking with Apple, I believe, about Sony's "consumer-oriented" microMV format..)
Polaroid, uniquely, never needed anyone else: their film developed by itself, so you didn't need to go to a developing lab to get your pictures done (..though they had other hardware partners; Eumig, for instance, made their Polavision movie hardware). Other camera manufacturers sold cameras, but (apart from Kodak or Fuji-branded cameras) the film developing was always done by a somebody else - you bought a Konica or Olympus or Pentax or Nikon or Canon or Leica or Hanimex or You-Name-It camera; then you bought some film from someone quite different (Agfa, Orwo, Kodak, Ilford, Fuji); then took your pics, then took the film to a third outfit to have the material developed ..the camera manufacturers were far removed from the eventual picture-development process. Kodak introduced new films and new development techniques ..but camera makers were generally uninterested in that; their gaze was on f/stops, lens materials, shutter timing, new materials for camera bodies.
And so it's been with video: camera makers have bought and used chips, lenses, tape transport mechanisms, microphones, and assembled them into their own products, with their own arrangements of sockets, buttons and battery placement and cosmetic designs.
Then they've devised, or licensed, new methods for compressing video, so that more can be crammed into smaller storage, with fewer moving parts, making things cheaper and simpler to build.
The "unravelling" of that compressed audio and video for editing - as distinct from simply plugging a camera into a display for replay - has generally not been the camera manufacturers' worry.
One more analogy: car makers assemble cars. It's generally not been their worry about how roads are made; optimum camber-angles on bends, and coping with surface water run-off, and grading the gravel and asphalt mix for optimum adhesion.
You can't use a car without a surface to drive it on. But I don't think that Toyota and Tarmac devise their products in collaboration with each other.
Camera manufacturers make hardware to pile onto shelves and to sell to people who want some equipment in their hands.
Apple sells an experience: "ease of use". They generally have to react to what the hardware manufacturers are putting on the market ..except when they devise the hardware themselves, as with iPods, iPhones, display screens and Apple TVs. And, of course, Mac computers. By devising and selling both the hardware and the software, they make Macs, iPods and iPhones "easy to use".
But when someone else makes the hardware, and they're constantly changing it, and messing about with the new features, and Apple wants to provide that missing "ease of use" capability, then Apple can't always keep up with new developments as fast as customers would like.
Check the interoperability before you buy! Think what you're buying: are you buying the hardware, or are you hoping to buy the fun and useful experience?
If it's the experience; does the manufacturer provide that experience, or are you likely to need a third-party to provide it ..as with film developing, audio and video processing and editing, having decent roads to drive on, having the right sea-state to sail on?
If it's an experience you're after ..check the whole train of interlocking 'components' before committing yourself and your cash.

Can no longer download videos from my digital camera to iPhoto.

OK people, please help me! I've been a Mac user for a couple of years now but still have no idea how to use it properly!! (having been a PC user all my life). Today I changed the quality on my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ7) to be the lowest quality so I could fit more on my SD card, not feeling the need to read the instructions first. When I came to download to iPhoto, it wouldn't. So resorting to reading my camera instruction book, I needed to download some software that came with the camera which I did. But when I still couldn't download the videos using this software, I read the instruction book more thoroughly and discovered that the software I needed (PhotofunStudio) wasn't compatible with a Mac (PC only) and the software I had downloaded (Arcsoft Panorama maker and Arcsoft MediaImpression) obviously wasn't what I needed. When neither of these would download the video, I deleted the software from my iMac but when I opened iPhoto, it gave me some error messages about files not able to be read (or something similar, I can't quite remember) and a list of file names to which I clicked OK not even thinking about it. What that did was delete all videos from iPhoto I had downloaded from this camera! And now I can't download any videos from my camera to iPhoto!!! The only thing I can think is that it has changed the default download/view to be Arcsoft (even though I've deleted all the files - I think!!) So please, how do I get iPhoto to again download my videos? Sorry for the long winded post but because I am a hopeless Mac user, thought I would give as much info as possible!
I'm computer literate with PC but definitely not Mac - it scares me as I don't know what I am doing plus it is my OWN machine so don't want to stuff it up (which is exactly what I seem to have done!). I had no trouble previously downloading videos on the higher quality setting to iPhoto. Please can someone help?!

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Does iPhoto 6 support RAW files?

Seems that some of my RAW images are not importing into iPhoto 6. They are taken with the Panasonic Lumix L1 SLR. So question is whether or not iPhoto supports RAW files, and is it specific to the camera model which might have its own proprietary RAW format? Am I better off with Aperture?
Thanks

whether or not iPhoto supports RAW files<<<</div>
Yes.
is it specific to the camera model which might have its own proprietary RAW format<<<</div>
Yes. Apparently, Panasonic has chosen not to share its RAW format characteristics.
Am I better off with Aperture?<<<</div>
No. RAW support (or lack thereof) is system-wide.

Help using a Windoze Disney Digital Camera in iPhoto

Alright, I feel somewhat lame posting this question, but here goes....
My wife bought our daughter the Disney heart-shaped digital camera (model DDC-9000) but it only comes with a CD and drivers for Win 98/ME/00/XP. Does anyone have any idea if there are "universal" type drivers out there for OS X that would allow me to somehow get iPhoto to recognize this camera? It connects via USB but OS X doesn't see it.
Thanks.

It's really hard to make these cameras work, I did a search on Google too for this model but turned up with nothing.
There is a program called Macam which works with webcams, but it may be worth a try to get OS X detect it. I've used it with old Logitech cameras to take pictures with.
Here is the link:

Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

Kodak digital camera and iphoto

Hello
I have a Kodak digital camera. When I connect it to my imac (osx 10.3 ilife 05) I photo comes up
Asks me if I want to import, and everything works fine except it never mounts on the desktop. I want to dome editing , copy back to the camera and then print photos on the Kodak printer.
Thanks fred

I have that same camera but iPhoto was able to recognize it after downloading the firmware and Kodak EasyShare update. Does the computer recognize your camera at all, through another program like Image Capture? If so, then you might just need to go to iPhoto's preferences and check off the box about opening iPhoto (or any image application you prefer, like Photoshop) when the camera's plugged in. Good luck!
I seem to have the opposite problem on my system-- iPhoto now thinks my camera is always connected, even when it's unplugged and sitting in my bag.
