Aperture 3.0 and Raw Help Please

[Misiu Kolorowy]

Hello Everyone

I have a problem with Aperture 3.0 and Raw files. I have the program as well as the camera that should work with the program and the raw files (Sony a330). Now I go and import pictures that I took before JPEG+RAW and I see them in a preview the program asks me which pictures to import (I have them on the hard drive) so I import them and it tells me that it doesn’t support the file RAW, but I just seen that picture in preview so I know its there and the picture is fine. Can anyone please help me. I know there are different programs but that’s what I want to use sometimes. Please help. Thank You

That's because apparently Aperture 3 doesn't specifically support the Sony Alpha 330 according to their supported camera page. I wasn't really sure that would be the case, but the LR supported camera page does list the 330, so that makes me think that it might not be supported. Apparently the option for working with the files is to convert them to DNG first. You can get the DNG Converter from Adobe for free. So that would mean converting to DNG before importint into Aperture. Hopefully I'm just missing something and I'm wrong, but that's how it seems from the available info.
