This is wierd. I have several raw images all taken within a minute or two of eachother with the same camera and for some reason, about half of them Apple Aperture has no problem with and the other half it says "Unsupported Image Format".
Any other Aperture users experience this issue yet? It's quite frustrating.

I get that sometimes with iPhoto. It may be images with sound files or video clips. Try opening them with a different application like Graphic Converter and see what happens. It could be a glitch in your uploading process as well, like a usb blink or something.

| I've found that Photoshop CS2 doesn't recognize JPEG images scanned off my new Kodak 5300 with Image Capture. Huh? It's a freakin' JPEG! I haven't bothered to troubleshoot though since I'm looking at CS3 and maybe a new computer & Aperture in the next week or so. |

Hey Waddy, thanks for the help. I tried opening it in iPhoto and it just gives me a black screen. Preview won't open it either. That's weird. On my other Mac, it opens fine in iPhoto. Hmmmm. I've tried emailing it to myself and also burning it on a CD to get it from the old mac to the new mac and for some reason the old mac reads it fine and the new mac does not.
Hows the watermelon launching business going? :0) |

Make sure your photo has a proper suffix on the file name (.CRW, .NEF or whatever). PCs are too stupid to figure out what kind of file you're dealing with if it doesn't have a proper suffix. Macs seldom have a problem with names, but I've seen it happen a few times, particularly if you name the file with a suffix that doesn't match the file type (an older Mac wouldn't be affected).

| the real question is whether any non-apple software (on any platform) can access the image. if the answer is yes, then it seems there's a problem with apple's raw conversion. but, there's still the possibility that there really is something wrong with those raw files. even if you can see it on the camera's lcd, you are probably seeing a .jpg thumbnail. |

| Well, here's the wierd thing. My older eMac using iPhoto opens the file fine. My newer iMac won't recognize the file at all. I check the extension and the .NEF is on there. Worst case, I guess I could save them all as JPG on the eMac and send them to the new computer. |

Try opening Disc Utility (from finder), and do a permissions repair on your primary hard drive. That may solve the problem. I think that sometimes an old CF card can glitch out too.
Melon launching is good. The president of the Dominican Republic came to the last one, and he said " I like a la melon gun". Next launch is "Melon Blast" at Palatka Fl. Google it if interested.
 El Presidente Launching a melon. That's Robert  yakatme on the right.
Auto rotate in camera can sometimes foul up things with a program. Check to see if the ones that don't load are all oriented differently from the ones that load ok.
One other thing. If nothing else works, do a "shut down" and then kill the power for 30 sec or so, and maybe something will reset to default. It's worked for me a couple of times when iPhoto gets sluggish.
