Aperture with Monterey Beta doesn't work

[GalaxyEmperor]

All images are shown as "unsupported Format" even after "Reprocess Original" was run several times, the images show up for a short period but going black again.

You probably wait with updating.

Using release build and same issue. Several reprocessing does not work.

Mac Pro 7,1 12 Core 96GB Ram (6x16GB) 1TB SSD

I have updated to MacOS Monteray. I've run Retroactive on Aperture 3.1. Opening up my catalogue worked great. All the .dng RAW files are there with preview images. However when I select any image I get an 'Unsupported file.' No Amount of reprocessing with restore the preview.

[Marekai]

I am too on Monterey 12.0.1, NEFs are shown as unsupported file. Here and there they are displayed, but when i go with mouse over it disappears. Intel Macbook Pro 2015.

Would be great if this works.

[priitv8]

Could it be, that old Apple Digital Camera RAW libraries are not there any more under Monterey?

good idea, if you tell me where should they be, i can check.

[GalaxyEmperor]

My first thoughts went also to this direction, the Digital Camera RAW files are: /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle /System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle /System/Library/CoreServices/RawCameraSupport.bundle

but I didn't check further yet.

Not sure if this helps, but I can attest that Aperture works on fresh Monterey 12.0.1 on my mac mini 2018.

All 3 bundle-files are there in Monterey at the exact path.

[priitv8]

These bundles show version 9.12.1 on my system (Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)). Apple did redesign the RAW support in macOS Sierra. https://photojoseph.com/tips/2018/1/9/apple-aperture-raw-camera-support-2018 So it can easily be a problem with missing old-style API. Quoting user léonie's post in Apple Support community: "None of the RAW Support released since the El Captan can be used with Aperture at all, because Aperture has not been updated for more than two years. The Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.17 is the las update that can be used with Aperture. None of the newer updates are recognized by Aperture." https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8318128

So the questions from me please are:

1. Does Aperture work on Monterey under RetroActive with an M1 processor Mac?
2. Does Aperture work on Monterey under RetroActive with an Intel processor Mac?

By "work", I mean see raw files, edit, crop import, export. Thanks, Bob

[GalaxyEmperor]

My MacBook Air has a M1 chip and I have Monterey 12.1 Beta installed. With BigSur it works with sporadic crashes.

There are several problems.

1. Opening the Library works and it shows the Projects. Open a Project shows the Thumbnails, but scrolling through the Project does not show other images. Open an image shows it first but after loading the full resolution it shows a black Icon with the text "Unsupported Image Format"

2. Adjusting/Edit an image doesn't work at all, the app is crashing: Process: Aperture [2247] Identifier: com.apple.Aperture3 Version: 3.6 (3.6) Code Type: X86-64 (Translated)

I am sorry, but another re-install proved my previous observation wrong. No, it can't process RAW images like .nef. :(

[hseverac]

Not clear to me if Aperture on Monterey / Intel can still preview legacy Raw images. I'm not talking importing new images, or editing them, just using Aperture as a DAM to find Raw legacy pics that used to be previewed under Big Sur.

[PatrickNeame]

I'm getting unsupported file format in Monterey as well and Alt G won't cure it. I can drag the "blank" file in Photos and it appears correctly. What is disappointing is that images that had this problem in Big Sur and were then corrected again have the problem. If I then drag the file from Photos back to Aperture it's fine!

Retroactive has been discontinued, and does not support macOS Sequoia or later. You should transition from Retroactive to a wide range of supported apps, many of which are built into macOS or free to download. Learn how to transition from Retroactive to supported apps.
