Aperture 1.5 and Canon 50D

I just upgraded my trusty 20D to the new 50D. Aperture 1.5 wont read the RAW files. Is there a work around or do I have to upgrade to Aperture 2?
Thanks

you have to upgrade to 2.x ...

Aperture 2.0 and Canon XSi (450D)

Does anyone know if Aperture supports the new Canon XSi model? Or if there is a list of supported cameras for aperture? iPhoto keeps rejecting the CR2 file format from my XSi and I'm looking for software that I can edit my RAW images.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Regards,

I don't know that it's necessarily any harder for Apple to support the XSi than any other camera.
Supporting RAW formats means carefully analyzing proprietary file formats and sensor products and modeling them to provide consistent results across many different formats. It's not is it merely hacking up a file -- you want those raw sliders to work as expected and deliver beautiful results.
Combine this with the fact that camera companies tend to release many new products all at the same time, and it's not a fast process.
By way of comparison: in late August 2006, Canon announced the XTi. Samples were available at Photokina in early September. I purchased one the day they came in, which was late September -- around the 24th or so. Full, flawless XTi support was added to the operating system (thus for both iPhoto and Aperture) in early November. That's a turn around of about 2 months from announcement to support, and of about a month and a half from release to support. I'd say we have another month or so to wait.
In the meantime, it's possible to use an external RAW converter, convert to DNG or 16 bit Tiff (I'd use Tiff if you have the space), add the converted files to Aperture and store them on disc/network along side the RAW originals. Then, once support is added, you can add your originals, stamp the changes you made to the converted versions to the originals, and then remove the conversions. Again, this is a workaround for a month or so, and is the price you pay for being on the bleeding edge.

Lightroom 1.41 and Canon 50D CR2 files

Greetings!
Can Lightroom 1.4.1 support 50D CR2 files? I can see the thumbnails in the import window but it goes through the motions then tells me the files are either damaged or unsupported. I have the Camera Raw 4.6, and PS and Bridge (CS3) can see them just fine... Getting money out of the company in this economy is tough enough...

Not directly. the 50D was brought out after 1.4.1 was released. You can get support for the 50D in LR 1.4 simply by converting your RAW files to DNG using the free dng converter (download link here: http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ )

Aperture and sRAW (Canon 50D)

Does anyone know of a reason why Aperture seems to not fully support the sRAW format? My personal experience has shown me that bringing an sRAW (7.1 mp) file from my Canon 50D into Aperture will result in a much noisier image. Several of the RAW Fine Tuning adjustments are also grayed out (sharpening, denoise, etc). When I bring in a full RAW (15mp) file, Aperture automatically brings the noise level down a reasonable amount once the preview is rendered.
Here is a comparison; both images were shot at the same settings, one at sRAW and one at RAW, and I did not perform any adjustments in Aperture, just imported and exported a full JPEG.
sRAW
RAW

Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight, I was thinking the forum would shrink them but I don't know why I thought that would help.
@Keith
I haven't tried DPP yet, but importing the same sRAW files into The Lightroom 4 beta produces much better results. I can see a slight difference between the RAW and sRAW processing in Lightoom, but they are 99% similar, whereas I would say in Aperture the difference is dramatic.
I have learned to stay in RAW, but I would appreciate the ability to shoot sRAW. I was hoping for perhaps a camera profile or other solution, but I suppose I'll have to stick with RAW or look into Lightroom
Thanks for the help

Aperture and the Canon 50D

I recently purchased a Canon 50D and aperture does not process the images. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to wait for Aperture it update to the new camera?

The RAW update for the Canon 50d is available now: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawcompatibility23.html?sr=h otnews?sr=hotnews.rss

Aperture 2.3 update and Canon 350 (xsi) RAW+JPEG issue

Anyone know if this update fixes the problem with importing RAW+JPEG captures from Canon 350 (xsi)? I'd hate to download this update and then have to un-do it (again).
Thanks!

Not using a canon 50d, using a Sony a900 instead. Actually, DPP is special because it does absolutely no noise reduction (at least in AHD mode). You can see that it is actually noisier but with a much finer grain pattern than ACR, aperture, raw developer, etc. You don't get the blotchiness associated with the NR of these other converters. The beauty of this is that when you run it through your grain reducing software it is much better for the software to deal with (the noise hasn't been processed by any NR software- which makes the noise non-random) and as such produces much cleaner images. I just did a comparison of the noise with the A900... here are links of the comparison using a publicly available Imaging Resource Raw file:

Aperture doesn't do a bad job, better than most others, but still not as good as RPP.

After 1.2.1 Firmware update cannot tether with Aperture 3 and Canon 5D Mk3

I am now unable to tether my laptop with my Canon 5D Mk3 in Aperture 3.4.4 after I updated the firware on the camera. Aperture detects the camera but the capture button is greyed out. And when I press any buttons on the camera, it says it is busy. Note: I am able to tether camera and laptop using Lightroom 4.
Using:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.8.3
Aperture 3.4.4
Canon 5D Mark III, Firmware 1.2.1

Miracle of miracles!!! Works for me too.
Being able to use Image Capture for controlling my 5DIII also works

Canon 50D RAW Files and PSE6

I've followed the instructions to add the latest Camera RAW files but still cannot get PSE6 Organizer to recognize the RAW files from my Canon 50D. The editor has no problem recognizing them and allowing edits to take place. Anyone have additional ideas to remedy this?

The issue happens either when downloading from a card or attempting to open the files from the card reader or a folder. I get the message "You are attempting to open a file that is an unrecognizable format or is corrupted." I got similar responses from the Canon software and Irfanview until they were updated with the latest rev that included the 50D.

I have Lightroom 5 downloaded from the creative cloud. Lens profiles are not working for raw files. Canon 50D with EFS 10-22, EF 100 f2.8L macro and other Canon lens. None showing in lens profiles

When I first downloaded Lightroom 5 from the Creative Cloud lens profiles were working OK
Now it does not seem to recognize my camera - Canon 50D and lens - various Canon EF and EFS - All were recognized previously

I don't use these features, since I don't have such a cam, but could it be that you may need to input settings for filmback and distance of the lens mount somewhere? If the program operated based on wrong assumprions, the best profile in the world would be wrong...

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1, but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

Raw 2.3 update & Canon 50D

I was glad to see support for the 50D added with this new update, but after some quick testing I am disappointed with Apples conversion on pictures taken at 800 iso or faster compared to DPP. Aperture shows a lot more noise at the faster ASA settings. Adobe Camera Raw has the same problem, so maybe DPP is performing some kind of vodoo on the higher speed settings that Adobe and Apple have not (or cannot) figure out.
Has anyone tried different settings within Apterture to try to replicate the output that DPP is able to achieve at these higher iso's? I quickly tried a few things without any success. When I get time I will delve into it further, but if anyone else has some ideas of how to get similar results, I would greatly appreciate any tips or suggestions. It may be that Apple just needs to fine tune the conversion for the higher iso's, but it seems as though no one else has reverse engineered what Canon is doing.

Best lens for Canon 50D to shoot sports

I am looking for a lens for my Canon 50D to take sport shots of my boys? Any suggestions?

f/2.8 constant aperture and moderate to long telephoto.
Really depends on how close you can get to your boys. 70-200/2.8 is a common sports lens, but you'll see the pro photogs have crazy stuff like 300/2.8 and 500/4.
A 70-200/2.8 will run you around $800-2000 depending on brand/features - The Tamron ones with no IS are around $800, I think the Canon L glass with IS is in the $2000 range.
A 300/2.8 will be a few thousand, a 500/4 will be $5k+ easily.
Note: If only outdoors in daytime, you may be able to get away with one of the (far cheaper) 70-300 f/3.5-5.6 lenses. But these won't work well for indoor or night sports.

Lightroom 1.4 & Camera Raw 1.4.1 & Canon 50D raw images

I am about to test a Canon 50D in conjunction with a Canon 20D.
Will I be able to work with the 50D raw files with my version of lightroom?
I have not moved to Version 2 lightromm because of the many reports about it's slugish performance.
Your help would be appreciated.
Roy Palmer

All you have to do is make sure that you are always using the very latest version of the DNG converter. Yes, the very latest. It is not necessary to match the DNG version with the ACR/Lightroom version.
When I use the DNG converter, I usually open the card in Windows Explorer, highlight all of the images, then drag them onto the icon for the DNG converter. The converter starts, I specify where I want the files to be placed, and then click on the Convert button. That's really all there is to it. Yes, it takes a few seconds for the DNG converter to convert the images. But it's really as simple as a download.

Canon 50D RAW files not showing

Hi all,
I just got a Canon 50D as an addition to the current 400D (Rebel in the USA).
I am shooting 100% RAW files, and I am having a problem with previewing them.
I downloaded and installed the Camera RAW 5.2 fro Adobe and Lightroom and Photoshop have no problems opening the files.
The quick view show only a white (generic) icon, Preview a Question mark, while the RAWs from 400D show without a problem.
I can sort of live with it as I use Lightoom for all viewing and editing, but it is a bit annoying that a quick look with the Quick Look is impossible.
Anyone has /had this issue? Any solutions please?
i.3d
OK, here's a boy who answers his own questions...
The Apple Camera RAW update 2.4 does NOT list 50D as a new supported camera model, and yet... what do you know... it does include support for Canon 50D.
Done!
Hope it helps someone.

As to the Adobe RAW, I thought that it also becomes a "system extension" (for the lack of a better wording) which COULD help, and which obviously doesn't. Thanks for the info.
In regards to the Apple Update, I just assumed that the latest would contain all previous updates, or if it did not, upon install inform that one needs the previous one installed first (Just like Java updates do) - which, again, obviously it doesn't. Again, thanks for the info and the link. I am downloading as I type this, so will see soon - after a restart, so an edit is coming...
Strange thing with the yesterday's RAWs working 100% and today's not at all.
Hopefully the 2.3 will do the trick.
Stand by.
We have a problem, the 2.3 tells me that it DOES NOT NEED to be installed as a newer version is already installed. This would imply that previous updates are indeed included in 2.4 (just like the security updates - enough to install the latest one.
Well, that's a bit of a problem, innit?
Any way to manually pick the 2.4 off the system?
