Will Aperture 3.6 eventually provide raw support to Sony a5100

I have an iMac running OS X Maverick 10,9,5, and currently use Aperture 3.5.1 with all of its latest RAW updates. I am considering updating to Yosemite to get Aperture 3.6. I note that so far 3.6 does not provide RAW support to the Sony a5100. Lightroom does have RAW support for this camera, and I can get Lightroom and keep Maverick. However, I like Aperture and would like to continue using it. But will the new version on Yosemite ever get RAW support for my camera? I also see from other posts that many are having problems with both Yosemite and with Aperture 3.6. I would need some reassurance before taking the step to a new OS X. I need some advice about what to do.
Thanks

But will the new version on Yosemite ever get RAW support for my camera?
We cannot tell you this, but any new Raw Support will most likely only be available on Yosemite.
The latest Digital Raw Compatibility Update was only for Yosemite, Aperture 3.6, and iPhoto 9., see: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I need some advice about what to do.
Upgrade, but don't burn your bridges. I'd keep a full TimeMachine backup or a bootable clone of your system as it is now, so you can easily revert to the previous version.

Will Aperture 3.0.3 Convert RAW Files for My New Canon S95?

This camera was just released and, of course, isn't listed as being supported by Aperture. But, since it uses the same chip and processor as its predecessor, the S90, will Aperture recognize the S95's RAW images or do I have to wait for an update?

Hi there!
To answer your question, as I've just received my S95, I tested importing RAW files into Aperture 3.0.3 (since that is the only way to be absolutely sure of its behavior).
So, Aperture 3.0.3 does NOT recognize the S95 RAW files (even though it shows the previews just fine).
Using ExifTool, I modified the CanonModelID tag to "PowerShot S90" and imported the file again, which worked just fine (which confirms the proposed solution).

What, where & how to buy correct Photoshop Elements to see RAW images from Sony a5100 camera?

I need the correct version of software to be able to read, view, convert, and format images taken in RAW with a Sony a5100 camera. What do I get & how do I get it pronto?

The ILCE 5100 was added in Camera Raw 8.7. If that is the camera you are referring to then you will have to purchase Photoshop Elements 13 and then run an update after you install it. You can purchase it at a local retailer, or you can purchase it online directly from Adobe. If you want to purchase directly from Adobe, here is the link: Products

When will Aperture provide RAW support for the Nikon D4s?

Just got my D4s and can't work with the RAW files in Aperture 3 ... It says 'incompatible file format'...

Wait and see, the currently available raw support is here.
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
But even, when the raw supoort for your new camera will have been released, it will probably only be available for you, if you upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and at least Aperture 3.4.5. The most recent Digital Camera Raw Support releases have all been released for these versions only: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1734
Give Apple a little time to do a decent job with the raw support. Your new camera is particularly challenging with the high ISO sensor and the excellent low light sensitivity (ISO 409,600). You will want that the raw support can deal with these new features properly. Last year we have seen quite a few threads with complaints about strange blueish or pink colors on raw images taken in low light for new Nikon and Canon cameras.

HT3946 Does Aperture RAW support the Sony NEX-5R digital camera?

If I have the Sony NEX-5R digital camera will this allow me to use the updated Aperture 3 and it's RAW feature?

Here is the list of supported cameras OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
The Sony NEX-5R was included in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.0.2 so if you are running the most recent versions of Aperture and Mountain Lion you should be covered.

RAW Support for Sony

Any idea when RAW support for the Sony Alpha 330a will be added to Aperture 3? I would have thought that most all late model SONY's use the same RAW specs, but I cannot import my RAW pictures at this point. Thanks

Sonyman,
only Apple knows the answer to your question.
If I had to guess, I would say it is likely that the V3 will not be supported. That camera was announced in August 2004; chances are that Apple will add support for RAW format of new cameras before they worry about old ones.
Then again, that is only my guess.

RAW support for sony a7 mark ii

When will sony a7 mark 2 RAW be supported in Aperture? I am using Aperture 3.6 with camera raw 6.02. I know the camera is fairly new, but would like know the general trend. Its pretty inconvenient to convert it into DNG, push it to library and then process it.

Yes I agree. Files can also not be viewed in latest version of preview on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Any idea when apple reps?

When will aperture provide RAW support for Olympus EM-5

I have the new Olympus OM-D EM-5 and I cannot get Aperture to read the RAW files....when will a software upgrade be availble?

If the camera is not listed here Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
then Aperture does not support it as this time.
When it will be supported no one here can say, we're all just users here like you. Apple never releases this information before hand.
You can let them know you want the camera supported by going to Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.

Does anyone know when Aperture will be able to provide RAW support for the Nikon 1 J3 ?

I have just bought Aperture to support my new camera, a Nikon 1 J3. I then discovered that this is not one of the Nikon camereas yet supported by Aperture for RAW format pictures.
Does anyone know when this may be addressed in a later version of Aperture?
Kind regards
Simon

Léonie
Thanks very much for your help. I see from the discussion threads on this that I am not alone!
I will be visiting my local Apple Store today to see if they know when my camera will be fully supported.
I got it through Cutio in Germany and the instructions were in German which I learnt at school - which is great for travel and holidays but not for reading technical manuals!
Kind regards
Simon

RAW support for Sony A330

Hi
Does anyone know how to get RAW files from a Sony A330 open in Aperture 3?
Or does anyone know of a timeframe when Apple will include this?
If I can figure this out then I am definitely buying a copy.
Cheers

Im not sure but i suspect aperture will support sony raw files. Aperture will only use raw if it has the option. If you import some images you can see on the very top right of the metadata panel if it is jpeg or raw. i had a minolta and this is now sony and aperture supported that. so go for it! Allan

Update does not include RAW support for Sony DSC-R1

Looks like there is no support for the DSC-R1 in the 10.4.7 update - that's a shame, I was hoping that it might be included

To make the R1 work with aperture, one must convert the R1 RAW file to a DNG first.
To make the new DNG work, you must lie to the computer.
After all it is only a machine. Garbage in garbage out.
So go to the following file:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist
Save a copy of original file
Open the "plist" in TextEditor
Find the Sony DSC-V3
Delete V3 and type R1
Save file
Reboot Mac
Convert an R1 RAW file to DNG
Test
Use Preview to open new DNG file.
Did it open?
Then aperture will open this file.

Raw support for Sony A7r

Does photoshop elements 12 incorporate raw plugin 8.3 so that I can open raw files from my Sony A7r camera?

PSE12 ships with 8.1, and can be updated to ACR 8.3.
On Win7/8 this update is accomplished using Help / Updates in the Editor.
On XP and Vista, there is no updater but there is a manual process that can be followed.
I'm less sure about what happens on a Mac but I’d assume PSE12 on the latest OS will be ok receiving updates.

Aperture and RAW support with Canon EOS 60D

Got my new Canon EOS 60D yesterday. But Aperture does not support the new RAW photos from the EOS 60D yet.
Anyone with the same problem?
When is Apple updating the RAW support for the 60D in Aperture?

Well, DNGs don't actually contain all the data of the original raw file, so that could be an issue.
As an example, the focus point functionality of Aperture 3.0 doesn't work with files converted to DNG, as the camera-specific information has been stripped from the file by Adobe. I don't know whether the DNG format can actually hold that info or not, but as of today it doesn't.
Apple historically has tended to support the new SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, so I wouldn't be surprised if support came along shortly. That said, buying a camera the day it's available and expecting immediate support for its raw format is not all that reasonable. The vendors providing raw support don't necessarily have access to pre-release versions of the cameras (in general), so there's going to be some time necessary to develop and QA the support for the new format.

Will Work for RAW Support (D7000 RAW in A3)

I'll offer as many free images from my new Nikon D7000 as the Apple/Aperture coders need to develop RAW support for this camera quickly. Hopefully, this won't take as long as it has in the past, and make Aperture support schedule look completely anemic compared to Adobe LR.
Offer stands, let me know

No point in telling us, we're just Users like you. This is a User to User forum. To contact the developers:

Aperture 2.x Raw support

Is Aperture 2 still a Apple supported product or has it been made unsupported as of 3.0? Aperture 3.0 now has Raw support for Canon 60D and other cameras but aperture 2.1.4 still refuses to load the files from a Canon 60D even with the latest Raw and security updates installed as of the 10th Nov.
am I forced to spend £80 to upgrade or should I wait for apple to pull their finger out?

The Camera RAW file support listing page has your cameras with two asterisks by them which indicates that Aperture 3 is required:

I could definitely be wrong, but if it were me, I would not count on it.
aha, thanks. I see the double asterisk now
I was looking at the support page describing 10.6.5
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
it doesn't mention version-specific support in Aperture as does the page you referenced. I guess an upgrade to v3 is necessary
