Q: problems importing Canon RAW files to Aperture/Photos

I have problems importing RAW files produced by the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II.

According to Apple the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is supported:

http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html

The result is as follows (detail of the picture):

When using Adobe DNG Converter and Photoshop for the conversion everything is fine:

I have the latest operating system and Aperture version 3.6 installed.

What can I do to import the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II RAW files directly without unexpected distortions or time consuming work arounds?

Aperture 3, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

unfortunately the problem is back.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark RAW-files behave strangely. image appears scrambled or even turns black.
The camera type should be supported since OS X Yosemite v10.10.

I have this exact same problem. Half of my photo is scrambled or turns black. My camera is a Panasonic G6 that I just bought. running OS10.10.5 with Aperture 3.6 and Digital Camera Raw 6.06. The whole setup should support it. It does the same when opening the RW2 file with preview.

I have used ths setup for years and thousands of RAW pictures with my Panasonic G3, never missed a beat.

On another Mac it works fine in preview with the Panasonic G6 RW2 files. This Mac also runs 10.10.5, but has no aperture so I can't find out what Digital Camera Raw it runs.

If you launch the Photos.app on your Mac without Aperture, the "About panel in Photos will show you the RAW support version.

Launch Photos.
Go to the Photos menu in the main menu bar. Photos > About Photos:

I'd reinstall the RAW support separately.

The RAW Support download from the AppStore does not always install reliably.

The separate download link for 6.06 is here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.06

Search for other versions on this page: Apple - Support - Downloads

Hi Leonie, actually another post from you solved my problem, it was this one: Re: Problem importing RAW files (Yosemite)

So deleting the raw libraries and then reinstalling 5.07, that made it work!
