50D vs 60D raw processing? Images weird!

Alright, I've been using lightroom for a little over 4 years now, and have never had any issue processing my Canon 40D and then 50D raw images. We recently purchased a 60D, and shot a wedding with it this past weekend. One shooter had a 50D, the other the 60. When importing these raw files into lightroom, with no presets, lightroom does a weird thing to the 60D raw files - it will initially load the image as we saw it on screen: properly exposed, correct color calibration, and then when it's finished loading, it morphs into this underexposed high contrasty green weird saturated image that is...horrendous.
Is there a setting I can change to get it to give me my images as shot? It's not doing anything weird to the images shot on the 50D - they all look fantastic. I've ugraded to LR 3.4.1 and upgraded to the most recent version of Camera Raw (which I noticed only just added 60D support). I've messed around with the camera profile and color calibration, but I can't make the color fall back to natural, and everything just looks awful! Please help!

The photo is not awful. It's exactly as it captured. You have turned on Lighting Optimizer in the 60D I guess. LR will disregard any adjustment make to your RAW image by the camera. You can process the your RAW to look like its jpg preview. Or you can use DPP. LR will not apply Lighting Optimizer to you RAW file. The camera just increased expsoure a bit, and a bit fill light + your camera picture style that you set. None of that is read by LR. You can do it manually in LR with much better control.

Canon 60D Raw Processing Quality

I have recently upgraded the raw file definition for Aperture 3.1 to include the newly released Canon 60D. To my horror I noticed that raw files coming into Aperture has purple dots all over the place, making the photos purple. Some photos were taken in 3200 ISO setting, some at 1600. My first thought was a problem with my photos, but then I used Digital Photo Professional to convert and it made a night and day difference. Is anyone having the same problem? I have gone through hundreds of photos between Aperture and DPP and it is clear that Aperture is not converting these raw files correctly. I didn't have this issue with Aperture when I had the Canon 50D raw format.
Thoughts?

I am having the same exact problem with my 60D. All of my photos process with a dark magenta hue in the blacks. Upping the exposure or brightness on any of my RAW photos causes the pinks to come out of the blacks and the photo looks even more overly saturated with pink. If I shoot in both JPEG and RAW simultaneously, the JPEG looks as it should be. But once the RAW version reaches Aperture, or OS X in general, the pink hue is very apparent and has ruined all of the photos I've shot since I first got the camera.
It should also be noted that processing the RAW files with the factory software supplied by Canon with the camera processes the photo as expected without the dark magenta hues. Could there be an issue with the RAW compatibility that Apple delivered in the OS X 10.6.5 update? I doubt this is a problem with the camera as the RAW file looks fine when processed with any software that isn't Apple related such as Aperture, iPhoto, or Preview.

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? can not go to updates either- error?

I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? the same program on stationary mac can open the same raw files, whereas new lap top can not? Why? can not go to updates either- error, why?

Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
What error do you get when going to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5.1?
You might try downloading and installing the 6.7 camera raw update from here:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
If you need any other updates, you can find most of them here:

Can LabVIEW process images in RAW format? Can LabVIEW handle images in the multimegapixel formats produced by some of the current DSLR cameras (e.g. 5000x3500 pixels)?

Can LabVIEW process images in RAW format? Can LabVIEW handle images in the multimegapixel formats produced by some of the current DSLR cameras (e.g. 5000x3500 pixels)?
Can LabVIEW be programmed to remotely acquire images from a commercial DSLR camera with DirectShow capability? e.g. Canon Rebel T2i.

1) So RAW files have a multitude of possible file extensions / formats, and it depends on which of these extensions you use. If the image can fit in memory, it can be brought into LabVIEW. An image of that size should be able to come into LabVIEW. Are you considering using NI-Vision to do this? You would look into the VI called "IMAQ ReadFile." There are a certain set of standard formats that can be read.
2) If a camera is DirectShow capable, and there are USB drivers available to access that camera through a Windows machine, then you should be able to bring that camera up in NI's software such as LabVIEW.

Elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000.

Adobe elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000. I called support for a download patch and they said I had to purchase a support package or essentially purchase Elements 10. I can't believe that Adobe would not have a download patch for this problem as my elements 9 is not very old. When I try to do the updates Adobe says the serial number of the elements 9 is not accepted for download or support even though I purchased it and registered it with Adobe.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks.

Thank you but still having a problem. I go to the edit menu>>help>>update>>check for updates and an update to 9.03 comes up as the only update, no camera raw update. It starts to download and then stops and says to close organizer and/or editor then starts back up and stops again saying "error installing this update. Close and contact customer support". When I called customer support earlier that's when they said they don't support 9 only v. 10 and did I want to buy support or a new program v10 to get camera raw processing for the Nikon D7000 RAW. Apparently I'm doing something wrong in the update procedure but don't know what. The camera raw version is 6.5 in my elements and understand that camera raw v. 6.7 is the update to process the images. Any ideas? If I uninstall and reinstall does the serial number still work on the reinstall?
Thanks for help.

New Canon 60D RAW in Aperture

In case anyone is still having probelms in working in RAW prior to Ap3 camera list being updated here is how i get around it. Download Adobe dng free converter. Load the Canon camera software that comes with the 60D.
Import raw files from camera into the Canon software. Move those files to a folder on your desktop. Then open the Adobe dng converter and select the folder on your desk top conatining the camera RAW files. Convert the files in the Adobe converter. Then back in the Canon software drag all the converted files straight into the Ap3 icon. You now have a folder containing RAW files in Ap almost as good as original but not quiet. A long process so hopefully Ap3 will be updated soon with the 60D JohnT

Answering myself:
RAW compatibility support is not Aperture independent, it is a OS wide issue. To get support for Canon 60D RAW you must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as described here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
I've just completed such upgrade and I can now see my RAW images in the finder (with quick preview). However, upgrading rendered my Aperture useless as launching it reports "Aperture can not be opened because of a Problem". Off to the forums... Feel like I'm setting up Linux here... Apple!

Canon sx40 RAW processing

I shoot RAW with Canon SX40 HS using CHDK. Aperture reportedly has a profile for Canon SX50 (not 40) RAW. Does anyone know how Aperture might interpret a RAW image that's associated with the SX40? And is there a way to change the camera model to "fool" or force Aperture into using it's SX50 profile for RAW processing? I don't see any controls for telling Aperture to use a particular camera profile. (Of course, all this may be for naught since Aperture is being discontinued...)
thx

How do I update a folder of DNGs to the new 2010 (Current) Raw Process?

Is there an efficient method to update an entire folder of DNG images to the newer RAW process in Camera Raw 6.1 - to "2010 (Current)"?
And as an added bonus, it would also be great to simultaneously update the Camera Profile - to "Adobe Standard".
I have lots of folders of DNGs that were processed in ACR 5.7 or Lightroom 2.7, and so they were processed in the older, 2003, process version.
I see that when I update a single DNG in Lightroom 3's Develop Module that I am asked if I want to update all of the photos shown in the Filmstrip at the bottom of the window. This is very convenient!
My father does not yet have Lightroom 3, but does have Photoshop CS5 and ACR 6.1 installed and he wants an efficient method to do the same using those tools. We found that if we open the folder in Bridge, select all the DNG images, open the multiple images in Camera Raw, click on the "Select All" button in the upper left corner of the window, that we can then go to the Camera Calibration panel and make these two changes to all of the images simultaneously.
It seems like there should be some method of doing this from within Bridge. When we go to Edit -> Develop Settings -> Copy Camera Raw Settings and then select all of the other DNGs in the folder and go to Edit -> Develop Settings -> Paste Camera Raw Settings.... and choose only the Camera Calibration checkbox, that only one of the two settings actually gets changed; the Camera Profile setting does - the Process version does not.

You CAN easily make a Camera Raw preset or use Copy/Paste develop settings to change a folder's worth of files to "Adobe Standard"...that's simple. However, currently the Process version is not captured in a preset not copy/paste settings...the only current method is to actually open images inside of Camera Raw, select all and change the Process version to what you want...note, even Sync won't sync the Process version...only select all and then change the setting.
It's hoped in the future this will be somehow addressed...it will require that the subsetting for Process version be a separate item in the Camera Calibration settings.

How to make CS6 Camera Raw process in 16 bit mode by default

I just received my Adobe Photoshop CS6 and downloaded the current updates. I have noticed that when I download raw images into Bridge the Metadata indicates that the images have a '16 Bit Depth' but when I open the images in Camera Raw the 'Image Mode' indicates that the image is only 8 bits. I never had this problem with CS4 as it would always open the images as '16 bit' so how can I get CS6 to process the raw images as 16 bit by default? Thanks for any help!!!

Hi,
In the camera raw dialog click on the Workflow Options at the bottom of the camera raw dialog
and under Depth set it to 16 bits/channel.

Why my raw looks different in lightroom and camera's raw processing software

Hi, I am using a Sony A-100 and just start using Lightroom to process my raw file. I quite like lightroom's interface and its workflow, however, a a problem disturbing me is the image look quite different in sony's raw processing software and in lightroom (just import without any editing). In sony's software, the WB and exposure is correct and I don't need to adjust so much. But in lightroom, the color always looks warm and image is underexposure.
Is it a common problem or it is just a special case as to sony's dslr camera.

The main reason is that each different software is interpreting image and color data in its own way due, I guess, to different processing methods.
In that way, digital is not different than film : no film render colors and contrast the same way.
You have to choose what fits the best for you.
As an example, I think ACR / LR handle Canon files pretty well ( quite close to Canon's propietary raw converter - neutral settings - ). On the other hand, Nikon owners have more troubles and seem to prefer Capture 4 or NX renderings.

Why are my processed images now sharper in the Library mode than in Develop mode (LR5)?

In LR 5. Recently I noticed my processed images are sharper in the Library mode than in the Develop mode. This makes doing adjustments difficult because I can't really tell the effect of the adjustments.
PC, i7, 24GB RAM.
I've tried purging the Camera Raw cache. It's been suggested to purge the Preview cache but I cannot find the Preview cache file. It's also been suggested to clear the Preferences but those file don't show up in a search either even though my PC search is set up to show hidden files and folders.
Any solutions?

Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area. Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

Raw Imported images are too dark

When I import RAW files from my Nikon D80 they are much darker than they show in the camera's display and I'm always obliged to boost exposure in AP2 by at least 1 to 1,5 step. This doesn't happen if I shoot in JPEG. There is anything wrong in the camera's setup ?

It is worth knowing a little bit about how your D80 processes images in the camera to help answer this one.
When you take a photo, the camera's sensor records the image as a RAW image. It you have selected RAW storage, then this image is stored directly on the compact flash card. However, if you have set the camera to JPEG, then the image adjustment settings set on the camera are used to process the RAW image as it is converted into a JPEG image. These settings are set through your camera's menu. Therefore, the same photo will be stored differently if it has been shot as RAW or JPEG.
Now, when import the RAW image into Aperture, you are seeing the image as recorded by your cameras sensor with no adjustments made. When you import the JPEG image into Aperture, it will already include the camera's adjustments.
Therefore, the differences you are seeing is due to the camera settings that are adjusting the image before it is saved as a JPEG. I would assume that the settings are increasing the exposure.
As an afterthought, it is worth checking if the 'Optimise Image' settings (on my D70, found under the camera settings menu) are making an impact. Best to turn off all settings (or reset them to default) and then retest a shot.

Leica D-LUX 4 (LX3) RAW Processing

Hi all,
Just wanted to report some interesting behavior regarding the long-awaited RAW processing ability for the D-LUX 4 and Panasonic LX3. I did not see this happen on the first library I coverted, because I let Aperture do the image processing, so the files were already converted when the Library upgrade process finihed.
Anyway, this time I did not process images when doing the upgrade of my personal library, because I wanted it to finish the task quickly. It did about 3 hours for some 40K photos.
I had been shooting RAW + jpg since I got my Leica D-LUX 4 in the hopes that Aperture would support it some day...and that day came!
Anyway, the .RWL RAW files show up in the browser view as black boxes with the warning triangle. They convert when you select them individually, and that was pretty much as expected.
What was cool though, was when I had opened an .RWL image into Split View, and then arrow key selected the next unprocessed image. Aperture displayed "Unsupported Picture Format" on top of a low res image that had really severe lens distortion for an instant in what appeared to be a 16:9 or longer aspect ratio image, then displayed the properly converted 4:3 RAW file.
This is obviously the lens correction processing that is part of the way the camera operates, and that A2 was incapable of converting correctly. I thought it worth mentioning that you can sort of see it at work in A3.
It is so great to have A3 do such a good job on these files, and be so responsive. Really enjoying getting to work with my Leica RAW files finally.
THANKS APERTURE TEAM!
Sincerely,
K.J. Doyle

I have been waiting for over a year for RAW support for the Leica D-Lux 4 using Aperture 2. It seems that this support is only going to be offered for Aperture 3 users. I have asked at my local Apple Store for an explanation without any success. Is it really just a marketing ploy for A3, or was there a technical reason why A2 could not have support for this camera??
Hi Tony,
Now I am not sure if this conversion works on a machine without Aperture 3 on it, because all of the machines here have A3 on them...
BUT...
I just dragged a .RWL file into iPhoto and it opened, no problem.
I have no control over the conversion, of course, and the better control system for RAW is what you are paying for in A3.
I shot over 30K images with my DL4, storing RAW + JPG hoping for this, and seeing them come up in A3, and be so workable (better that Phase one) was a very happy day for me.

RAW Processing Change?

Today, I believe after installing the version 5.01 Digital RAW Compatibility Update, all of the pictures in my library produced by my Nikon D2x and D3 cameras are listed as being adjusted using an "earlier version of Apple's RAW processing." And clicking on the button to reprocess the RAW images does result in very minor changes.
These cameras are pretty old models. Did Apple really sneak in some changes to RAW processing engine for older models along with the added models listed in the RAW Compatibility update? Nothing was said about this in the update page, and this happened before only with a major Aperture version introduction. Did this happen for anyone else?

I'm seeing changes for many, perhaps all, my Sony camera bodies. But first, note that the Images aren't -- iirc -- marked as "needing" to be re-converted -- they are simply marked as having been converted by a superannuated version of Digital Camera RAW. I create my own RAW tuning settings, and save them as the default. With DCRAW 5.x, I had to create new ones and save them again as the default. But I didn't have to change any Images that had been converted with any of the older DCRAW versions.
I think the notice I got was very similar to the one that shows up when you use the old "Highlights & Shadows (sic)" adjustment brick.

50D vs 60D raw processing? Images weird!
