Acr and canon 70d

Hi,
i have just purchased a canon 70D camera and use lightroom 4 and elements 11 and neither of these support the camera for my raw files.
I much prefer to use ACR for my post editing and wondered if there will be an update in the very near future.I am not currently planning on upgrading to
lightroom 5 at this time.
Regards Adrian

Adobe needs to profile each camera’s raw sensor to convert raw to an image with the proper colors, and Adobe only updates their current version of software for new cameras.
If your camera-model is newer than your software version, then you’ll need to upgrade or update your software to a version that was released after the camera became available and Adobe added support, which includes the possibility of updating to the latest DNG Converter 8.2 once it is released (at the same time that ACR 8.2 and probably PSE12 are released), and converting your native-format raw files to DNG-format raw files that can be processed with older ACR and LR versions.
The issue, at the moment, is that the pre-released versions of ACR 8.2 RC and DNGC 8.2 RC from Adobe Labs pretend that the 70D raw files have camera profiles from the 6D so only the final versions of DNGC 8.2 and ACR 8.2 will have the new 70D camera profiles and the look of the images might change, slightly.
I prefer not to use DNG format for anything so I always update my LR and ACR to the latest version.

PSE 12 and Canon 70d raw CR2 files

I have a new Canon 70d which came bundled with PSE 11, but PSE11 doesn't support the CR2 raw without converting to DNG. and then there are no thumbnails, which makes file handling a pain. Does PSE12 have support for the 70d CR2 files, and does it show the thubnails for either the CR2 or the converted DNG files?

I have updated these instructions for using ACR 8.3 in PSE12:
ACR 8.3 will work with PSE12 to open 70D files, but there is no installer, yet if ever, so you have to be a little devious to get things to all work. You also need to be on a Windows 7 or 8 since ACR 8.3 supposedly doesn't work on Vista or XP. I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE12 by doing the following:
Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928. Note that this is the folder without x64 in the path. PSE12 is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.
Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003. This is the largest file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE12 camera raw plug-in folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats
Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw_8bi_80 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE12 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

Camera Raw and Canon 70D

I just got a Canon 70D. Great camera, but having trouble opening the CR2 files. I have a Creative Suite 5. I tried doing an update to the version 6.7 that is needed. I found the files and updated to a recent version 6.7.1.340. That is what my camera raw lists now, however I am still not having luck with the CR2. I am not want an upgrade of the who Photoshop at the moment and only asking to upgrade the option to make me see my 70D files. Do I need to upgrade just for that? I downloaded a DNG converter 8.2 for now to do the work I need, but what should I do? I searched around and had little success. Troubleshooting issues like that can be time intensive especially on days when you cannot just contact support. Thanks

Your camera requires Camera Raw 8.2, which is not compatible with your version of Photoshop. You will either have to use the DNG converter, and Lightroom to your workflow, or upgrade your Photoshop.

Microsoft OneDrive and Canon 70D RAW Files display issue

Hello Guys,
I have a Canon 450D and I was really surprised that my RAW files (*.CR2) were displayed on Microsoft OneDrive without making a JPG files.
That's really cool !
Few weeks ago I receive my new Canon 70D.
I have upload my RAW files (*.CR2 also) on OneDrive and the file is not displayed.
To make it easy, you will find both files here :
http://1drv.ms/1qvndZW
I all ready ask support on their forum : Here
But they ask me to ask you...
By any chance, has Canon changed their .CR2 files format that would explain Microsoft has to update their "Convertor" ?
Thanks in advance for your time !
If you want a OneDrive Space, you can use my referral link or Bing OneDrive ;-)

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Camera RAW is more of a "concept" than a specific standard. The idea behind a RAW file is that the data unloaded from the chip will not be altered in any way which results in a loss of original data.
JPEG images use a "lossy" compression algorithm which will normalize data when differences are so subtle that your eye probably would not have noticed the difference. But when images are adjusted, subtle differences may be "stretched" and the loss of the original data can be detrimental to ability to adjust the image later and still get good results.
BUT... since every camera can have a difference sensor, different resolutions, etc. the method needed to decode a RAW file and display the image can be different literally on a model-by-model basis. When you work with RAW files, you always need the codec specific to that very camera model.... not just "any" .CR2 codec will work. This is the same with all other brands of cameras as well.
Microsoft does not include camera RAW updates in the default OS updates that you may be applying to your computer on a regular basis (Apple does... every couple of months I get a camera RAW update and if I read the notes, it'll have a list of new camera models on the market for which they've added RAW support.) But Microsoft DOES make the RAW updates available... they're just not automatic. You have to go download and install them.
See this link at the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2899189
If you look down the page on that specific link, you'll notice a whole list of cameras for which they've added RAW support and the Canon 70D is among them.

ACR and Canon DPP

Another question about ACR from the same greenhorn:
Is there a way to get ACR to recognize changes made to a CR2 file in Canon's Digital Photo Professional? I have a bunch of CR2s with retouching and color/etc. corrections made in DPP that I would like to convert to DNGs, but I really don't want to redo all my edits in ACR.
Thanks again,
Andrew Slayman
P.S. I am using ACR 4.4.1 with PS CS3 on Windows XP.

No.

LR/ACR and Canon Highlight Tone Priority

Hey All,
I recently acquired a Canon 1D Mk III which, among other things, offers the Highlight Tone Priority function.
I've read different things about how this "works" and how it may affect Canon RAW files. Since I shoot only RAW, it's meaningful to me to understand what's going on with this function and if I as a RAW shooter gain a real benefit from its use.
From what I've read, I gather that with HTP enabled, and the ISO set to, say, 200 (the lowest ISO for HTP use) the camera actually reads the analog data for ISO 100 from the A/D Converter/amplifier, then applies a curve in digital processing to boost the exposure for the dark and midtones, while curving down the boost into the highlights. I don't have an expert analysis of this but more opinions of those who've run tests and analyzed the results.
One of these testers believes that for RAW, a flag is set in Exif that directs RAW converters to apply this flag -- in other words the actual RAW data is in this example the (underexposed) ISO 100 data and the converter, in our case Lightroom, knows to apply some kind of curve on initially rendering the data. In other words, in this opinion, the RAW data is the unchanged ISO 100, a stop underexposed relative to the desired ISO 200.
So, I'm hoping that those "in the know" in the Adobe world can give me a definitive answer so that I and other Canon RAW shooters can make an educated decision as to whether we want to use this tool or not!
I'd really like to hear from someone on the Adobe team about this, or one of you all who works with the team!
Thanks,
Tony

I don't mean to cause a problem with this statement...but here it goes any way:
For all those who have a cam with HTP, test this for yourself. You will see a noticeable difference between shooting in RAW with HTP on and off. (YMMV)
If we can see the difference, and it is a good one (in our favor of better image quality) than why do we need info from Adobe about this? We should just be happy it Does work and continue to confidently take our photos.
I have never used DPP to see if there is a difference between RAW w/HTP and the same image from LR.
edit:
I suspect the reason that it does work with LR is that HTP possibly works in the image pipeline in the camera. Meaning it does it's magic before it writes the raw file. So any luminance/tone-curve/iso trickery is done before the actual raw phase. The raw data has already been shifted (similar to RAW shot at ISO 3200, which we already know is 1600 underexposed 1 stop than pushed in camera before writing the file)

Camera raw version and Canon 70D

My camera raw version doesn't support my new Canon 70D

Needs ACR 8.2. So CS6, CC, or DNG converter.

You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?

You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade.

Importing and editing raw files using a Canon 70D

I have a new Canon 70D. If I upgrade to photoshop elements 12 will I be able to import raw files using this camera without using plug ins. It would not import raw files off a 70D in elements 11 but would for my older ?Canon 60D. Has this been corrected??

Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5646
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5645
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

And yes, you will be able to work upon these images in PSE12 using ACR 8.2

Will Lightroom 5.0 or 5.3 open raw files from my Canon 70d and will I subsequently be able to work on them in Photoshop CS 5?

I don't want to convert to DNG files. I have have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS 5, neither of which will open my raw files from my new Canon 70d. Trying to decide between buying the education version of Lightroom 5 with update to 5.3 if that will do the trick or joining the creative cloud for $9.99/month. Would appreciate accurate advice. Thanks.

You need Lightroom 5.2 or later. The educational version should work fine.

Windows 8.1, Photoshop Elements 11, Raw 7.4.0.137 and it will not let me open .CR2 from canon 70D

Can someone point me to what I need to do in order to open "raw" images from Canon 70D, in .CR2 format?
I'm on Windows 8.1,
Photoshop elements 11
Raw plugin of 7.4.0137
thanks

Hi,
The 70D requires camera raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11 - you have the last for version 11.
You can either
1) Buy the latest version of Photoshop Elements
2) Use the free Adobe DNG converter to take the CR2 files and converts them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be processed by Photoshop Elements 11

Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.

Tethered shooting with Canon 70D and Lightroom 5 on Mac

I am tired of looking at a tiny screen on my Canon 70D and learned about tethering my camera to the Macbook. Well, I am about to purchase the cable, and thought to look into if Canon 70D is supported. Now I see that many have problems with it and wonder what I can do?
This forum stuff is so tedious and I just want a straight answer from Adobe what is possible and what is not, yet they make you search the Internet for hours wondering how to formulate the question so you get the right answers. Then you wait…. and "maybe" you get the right answer.

70D isn't supported for tethering.

Canon 70D and Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch

Can the Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch be used with the Canon 70D. Is an adapter needed to allow the use.

An adapter is needed.
All of these wired remote releases use 3-conductor wire. On the 70D, the camera uses a 3-conductor jack that resembles a stereo headphone jack. On the RS-80N3, the jack is completely different.
You may want to just get an RS-60E3 since it's fairly inexpensive.
If you were using the Canon TC80N3 remote trigger / intervalometer, then it'd be worth getting the adapter.
The Canon RA-E3 adapter cable has one end that goes into the 70D (most any camera that uses stereo-headphone jack style connector) and the other end has the 3-conductor plug that the RS-80N3 and TC80N3 use.
The "trick" is finding the RA-E3. The only reason I knew this thing existed is because it comes with the Canon 60Da astrophotography camera. But it turns out Canon doesn't normally sell it as an accessory. You actually have to call their parts department -- it's treated more like a replacement part than an accessory cable.
