bohtho Posted February 19, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I absolutely want to use Apple Aperture (No Lightroom/Bridge/Aperture/etc discussions...) how should I set up my workflow ? Â 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. Â Easiest way to use Aperture with a Leica ? Good idea to use the DNG format ? Â At least this will make Aperture work seamlessly with a Leica..

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:  http://www.leica-camera-user.com/digital-forum/16559-how-use-aperture-m8-dng-files.html  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.

Â Not Digilux 3 RAW, but Adobe DNG Converter can convert Digilux 3 files, and Aperture reads Adobe DNG.. right ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipnb Posted February 20, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted February 20, 2007 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 Jean-pascal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohtho Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted February 20, 2007 Aha.. So Aperture doesn't work with ALL Adobe DNG files...? Â That messes up my Automator workflow.. Â What kind of "standard" file format is that ?? Or is it perhaps Aperture's implementation that is wrong ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
