DNG files must be generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
Aperture maintains but does not display layer and alpha channel information in PSD files.
Tethering requires compliance with standard protocols that are not supported by all camera models.
Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
