Hi, I just got a Canon G16 - a high end compact camera - The RAW files generated are not recognized/accepted by Aperture 3 (updated). There are no problems with other RAW files e.g. from my Canon 7D. Same problem on all my computers -e.g. I-MAC and Mc Book Pro
Any suggestions?
Aperture 3
The Canon EOS G16 is not yet supported by Aperture - it is rather new.
See the list of currently supported cameras.

You may want to shoot raw+jpeg while you are waiting for the raw support to be released and work with the jpeg as original files. You can switch later to the raw files.

Thanks a lot - the funny things is that Canon support had no clue and no suggestion!
I have to wait then and shoot RAW/JPEG for the time being - I am just starting on a long trip to Asia and wanted to have the best possible files to work with later.

Hi,
G16 import is now available with the latest Camera RAW update (13 Nov, 2013)...
I can confirm that .cr2 images are now recognised and imported, but there's a caveat... image proportions are distorted.
I have a number of raw+jpegs shot in 16:9 proportion. The jpeg imports fine with correct proportions.
The raw version includes the bits of the image that are cropped out when creating the 16:9 framing, but the image is still displayed at 16:9 in aperture, so looks squeezed as a result. Image dimensions are reported as being the same between jpeg and RAW, even though the RAW contains more area from the subject.
It's like aperture knows it is a 16:9 image, but then doesn't apply the crop, but instead re-scales the whole uncropped image area to fit within 16:9 format. Whatever's going on, it's wrong!
Curiously, thumbnails from RAW files in the finder are cropped correctly, showing exactly the same image and proportions as the jpeg. iPhoto also seems to get it right. This suggests it to be a bug in aperture rather than the importer itself...
Cheers

Send feedback to Apple.
Done that.
The above was to see if anyone else is having the same issue, or whether it is just me.
Looks like this camera is supported in Digital Camera RAW 5.01

Owen, did you bother to read the thread? The issue was not support, but a bad raw conversion when using the G16's 16:9 mode.
Sorry I missed that it turned from support to an issue of the RAW decode.
Aperture update just got released today by Apple. Perform a software update on your mac and the raw files will be compatible!
Not sure what you mean by compatible... here, following updating Aperture and re-importing a sample .cr2 file from the G16 it still displays with the same distortion of its proportions.
Here's what's happening
jpeg import on the left, RAW import on the right... shot as RAW + Jpg
Notice the extra coverage left and right in the RAW, but crammed into the same image dimensions as the correctly imported jpeg.
The finder gets this RAW conversion right, so too does iPhoto... only Aperture 3.5.1 is broken.
Did anyone get a solution to this problem with a Canon G16? I have just used one for the first time and cannot see my RAW pictures in Aperture, no problem with a Canon 5D Mk II My Aperture says it is up to date
This would be a different problem. what version of Aperture and the OS are you using?
I am using OS 10.5.8 and Aperture 3.1.2
RAW-files from Canon G16?
