Will updates fix RAW conversion?

Can anyone tell me if updates for Aperture will fix some of what is so obviously lacking? In particlar the RAW conversions. I also hear somefolks suggesting to wait for later versions. Does that mean that Version 2 will be a whole different Disc that I would have to buy AGAIN or are they reffering to the Updates? Thanks to anyone for your time and response. Cheers to the Holidays!

WHY would Apple bury RAW conversion tools in the OS?
A really, really good reason is that it makes applications easier to write for OS X.
If I want to write software that works with RAW files, on other systems I'd probably have to find some library to help me process them and then do all the other work.
With OS X I can just use the built in conversion and probably get a higher level of conversion quality than anything I could do myself.
Sure right now some of the conversions are not as good as what ACR and C1 offer. But think of the amount of use and review C1 and ACR have had by now! Do you honestly think ACR conversions are no better now than they were at v1.0?
Aperture if nothing else is a great way to get pros looking at the quality of the OS X conversions and forcing improvement. In the end we will see really good conversions for most cameras and at that point every app will be able to make use of them, not just Aperture.
I am currently using the latest ACR beta, would it be
possible to use a beta raw converter from Apple?
Nooooo!
Actually yes, they could simply provide an installer to give you newer RAW adjustments you could try out. Nothing about being in the OS prevents betas, or even releases off-cycle as they have said (and I said earlier) they can package conversion improvements both with OS updates and with Aperture updates. They could include them with iPhoto updates or all by themselves if they wished!

    Perhaps never.  The last version in series 3 was: 3.6 and if you have got it then it will be the last one.  If it is just one off thing then you can use the trial version of LR 4.1 otherwise you will have to buy an upgrade.
    I take it you have done the upgrade by going to:
    Help >> check for updates
    Good luck and let us hope you can do something about this.

  • I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection.   Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor.  Reloading SL from DVD repaired.  But SL update lost ethernet again.  Will Lion Fix?

    I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet.  It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
    Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
    But yesterday, after a power up.  my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
    listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more.  And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
    no ethernet available.
    As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD.  (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
    The ethernet worked!  But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
    So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
    Now the Ethernet is not working again.  I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
    Is this a problem seen by others?
    Would going to Lion fix the problem?
    Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
    If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

    Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
    Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

  • After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • Will the new 10.6.8 update fix SATA3 issues related with 2011 MacBook Pros?

    Will the new 10.6.8 update fix SATA3 issues related with 2011 MacBook Pros?

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • Facetime Camera not working for Google Hangouts due to recent update. Will Apple fix this problem?

  • Will ICS update fix overheating issues on Xperia Mini?

    Like seemingly thousands of other people my Mini was turned in to a brick because of overheating causeing the back and menu buttons to constantly trigger. (This problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/23778?start=960&tstart=0). In a different country to place of purchase so warranty doesn't work and its been sitting in the drawer doing nothing for a few months.
    Question is, will the same problem persist after the ICS update? Will all those people like myself who were sold a dud be able to take them out of the drawer? I literally have to open the freezer and rub the phone over a bag of peas for it to work. (Nice engineering there Sony)
    There is apparently a fix that involves rooting the phone and running a script to reduce touch screen sensitivity.. but I have neither the time nor technical proficiency to be sure that I wouldn't mess it up. Why Sony hasn't implemented a touchscreen sensitivity slider in the phone options.. I don't know...
    Anyway.. given that it is a whole new operating system, will the issue still be there? Or should us Mini owners just forget it and throw the thing in the bin?

    I had also the same problem. After a couple of months I gave up and bring the phone to the service center. They have fixed it in half hour by doing calibration. I have made a backup of all applications since the procedure erase everything on phone (not sd card). Make sure you sync contact with google or export them to sd card. Now its working fine.  They said that the program update will not fix this.
    As I can see and I read from service paperm they had change the whole screen with front cover , microphone and a usb cap. Who knows why.

  • RAW conversion in 2 then update to 3 and its RAW conversion

    I noticed that when I upgraded from 2 to 3 then 3.1, Aperture notified me that the RAW conversion it did in 2 is not the same as 3 and, would I like the 3 conversion done? When I said yes to one test image, it came out considerably darker.
    What have people been doing with that change and, is it happening generally to all RAW conversions to 3 with most camera brands and models?
    My preference is to leave them as version 2 as I always like the way Aperture handled RAW. There was a test comparison of RAW converters a year or so ago (I think it was a French site) and Aperture 2 held its own and was my preference.
    So now I am wondering, how will new previews be when I import them into version 3? (Have not shot anything lately.) Since I prefer the Aperture 2 RAW to JPEG converter, can I set Aperture 3 to convert more like that?

    I don't really want to reimport.
    By processor do you mean RAW processor?
    It's not that the new RAW in v.3 is bad, it is just darker.
    I read up more in Aperture Help. Apple seems to indicate that one might like to keep the earlier RAW processed images and you can. Although, from the sounds of it, they make the v.3 RAW converter sound much better than v.2.
    So, still, I just don't know how to "process" this issue myself.
    How have others upgrading from 2 to 3 dealt with it and, did you notice the darker image after the conversion? Did anyone keep the v.2 processed images?

  • TS1559 I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem

    I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem?

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

  • Running CS5 on a Macbook Pro. Will not read raw files for a new Canon T5i camera.Can update the current RAW?

    Running CS5 on a Madbook Pro. Will not open RAW image files from a new Canon TRi camera. Can I update to latest RAW processor with current CS5, or must I update to CS6 on the MacBook?
    Jack

    ACR 7.4 is the one that will read T5i raw files and it is CS6 specific. You can upgrade for $200 Standard or $400 Extended in you need 3D support.
    You can also see if converting your T5i files to .dng format will do just as well.
