Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
According to the information provided by Apple, Aperture 3.4.3 is capable of reading/processing RAW files from the Canon EOS M. I do not find that to be the case. I can see them in the preview when they download but as soon as I click on them I am met with the message that the files are in a format that Aperture does not recognize. ***** because I usually ONLY shoot RAW. Am I alone here?
Thoughts?
Aperture 3, RAW processing
What is your OS version? Are you sure all your software (OS and apps) are up to date.
Sorry Frank I should have inculuded that. I am not at home right now so I don't the precise version but I JUST updated to the most recent version of 10.7 - whatever version that is and I am running it on a 2.7GHz iMac quad-core i5 machine.
Will my problems go away if I upgrade to 10.8? To date I haven't seen any reasons to make the jump.
It sould work in Lion also according to this page from Apple. Are you sure you have the latest version of Aperture?
I would double check just to make sure you have the latest OS and Aperture.
What happens if you open the RAW file in Preview?
If you go to /System/Library/CoreServices you'll see the RawCamera.bundle file. Select it, right click on it and choose Get Info from the menu. The Info window will look like
You should have version 4.01
I will check this when I get home. I JUST updated Aperture to 3.4.3 on Saturday because of this issue so I thought it would be taken care of.
When I have the raw image in the preview and double-click it it appears larger on the screen for about 1/2 second and then the screen goes to a blacked out image telling me something about being unable to read/process the file.
OK all the Apple apps (Aperture, Preview, iPhoto, etc) use the same RAW decoding software, the RawCamera.bundle file I referenced above. If they're all having troubles then it is an OS and/or RawCamera.bundle problem.
Check the version of the RawCamera.bundle file when you can and report back.

I was running ver 4.00 of the RAW camera bundle. Upgraded to 4.02 this afternoon and it is working just fine.
Thanks!!
Glad you got it working.
