Workflow advice Aperture - Digilux 3

If I absolutely want to use Apple Aperture (No Lightroom/Bridge/Aperture/etc discussions...) how should I set up my workflow ?

 

I thought I could use an Adobe DNG Converter automator action which gets the pictures off of my Digilux 3/card reader when it attaches, and converts/saves them in a different folder which is then reacted on by an Aperture automator action which imports the new image files into Aperture.

 

  1. Easiest way to use Aperture with a Leica ?
  2. Good idea to use the DNG format ?

 

At least this will make Aperture work seamlessly with a Leica..

Hi Thomas

I don't think that Aperture yet supports Digilux 3 files, and not having one, I can't help you directly . . . .

BUT

Like you, I love aperture, and it does support the Olympus E330 which has the same sensor as your digilux.

I don't know if it will work, but I would have thought that Eoin's instructions for making M8 files work with Aperture would be a great starting point for you:

The problem will be finding the correct camera name for the Digilux 3 (sorry I can't help here). But I'd have thought that running through the same procedure and using the E330 record instead of the D200 might produce a great conversion . . . . . . . otherwise I think you're going to have to wait.

Not Digilux 3 RAW, but Adobe DNG Converter can convert Digilux 3 files, and Aperture reads Adobe DNG.. right ?

Using the link given in the first reply, I duplicated the entry corresponding to the Digilux 2 in the raw.plist file giving it the name LEICA-DIGILUX 3 (it corresponds to the Panasonic-DMC-LC1)

I succeeded then to open my .dng files in Aperture 1.5.2
