Aperture 2 Rendering underwater sunburst wrong - Canon G10, .cr2 RAW format

I've noticed that when Apple's Aperture 2 displays my underwater Canon G10 RAW pictures of sunbursts - picture of the sun taken from underwater - they are rendered wrong with a dark ring around the burst and are really blown out.
See link to photos of what I mean:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/canon-corner/308952-aperture-2-1-4-w-canon-g10- raw-sunburst-render-wrong.html#post4794371
Both photos use default settings, the "aperture214_g10RAW.jpg" was exported using Aperture 2.1.4 while the "photoshopCS4_g10RAW.jpg" was exported with Adobe Photoshop CS4.
Anyone have problems with this? Is there a setting I need to change to get it right?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help.
Below is a link to my website where you can download the .cr2 file. I zipped it up. Please let me know what you find out. I also tried converting the file to .dng with Adobe's converter and still get the same look with the Apple interpreter.
In Aperture I tried tweaking the RAW, white balance, highlights, recovery, hue boost..etc but can not reproduce what it looks like in the Photoshop render.
Let me know what you can do. File is 13mb.

Aperture 2 won't recognize Canon G10 CR2 RAW files

The Canon G10 just came out and I got one!! But Aperture will not recognize the CR2 files that it makes. Any idea how to make this work?

If you can get your hands on a copy of Canon's Digital Photo Professional it may include the proper converters that you can use for now.
For EOS utility to run the camera must be connected and running and I'm not sure the P&S cameras are recognized by that utility.
I'm having trouble with G9 CR2 files on Aperture 2.1.2. When I import them they come in at 1:1 aspect ration meaning the preview is forced to fill the preview screen so all images look a little wide and verticals look really, really stretched out.
When I go in and selected Apple -- Camera Default in the adjustments palettes it pops into the proper 4:3 ratio.
Any way to get that as the default? I've tried selected all and hitting the Camera Default but only one image at a time is updated. Driving me crazy

I have a canon 7d and my aperture version 3.4.5 is not recognizing the raw format? The Can not review any raw photo in the adjustments/raw fine tuning controls.

I have a canon 7d and my aperture version 3.4.5 is not recognizing the raw format? The Can not review any raw photo in the adjustments/raw fine tuning controls.

When i click on the adjustments everything is grayed out and the messages states " Image Not Found'.
Are you seeing broken arrows or yellow warning triangles, when you enable badge overlays?
That looks, like your original image files were missing. Are your images referenced or managed?
Create a smart album with the rules "Files status is missing" or "Files status is offline". This will show you any images, where the original raw files cannot be found.

Corrupt/Non Viewable Canon Xs .CR2 Raw files

Hi All,
I am having issues with my importing/viewing my Canon Xs .CR2 Raw files. I import them into Aperture and they do not show up correctly. I get either a black or a green and magenta static with lines for an image. I am currently running both the latest Aperture Version (3.1.1) and Digital Camera RAW (3.5.0). I have been searching for three days and cannot find a solution to this problem. I have found a few other people having issues as well. Here are some snippets/links from/to these posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2667652&start=0&tstart=0
“The latest Aperture 3.1.1 update breaks Canon's "Medium RAW" compatibility; Aperture used to be able to read the "Medium RAW" CR2 files before this update, but not anymore. Also, updating to the latest "Digital Camera RAW 3.5.0" does not solve the issue.”
If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

Hi Folks,
I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Doug...

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.
http://www.bespoke-gems.com/images/gemstones/misc/rawtest1_canon7d.cr2
http://www.bespoke-gems.com/images/gemstones/misc/rawtest2_canon7d.cr2
I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm1:2.8 USM)
Many thanks!

Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages: Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog. File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
again.

Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the
S100V)
In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates
Then install amera raw 6.7

Does Fireworks 8 support Canon's .CR2 raw files

Does anyone know if Fireworks 8 supports Canon's .CR2 raw
files? I tried to open some .CR2 files in Fireworks 8 and it did
not recognize them...can I update or something so it will recognize
them or do I have to revert back to shooting in jpg?

Canon 550D cr2 raw unsupported yet

I would like to know when could be supported the canon cr2 raw format.
anyone knows?

Companies like Apple and Adobe have to reverse engineer the RAW formats produced by the camera companies. Therefore, there's some lag time between the release of a camera and support for that camera. The amount of time varies, but Canon cameras usually get support fairly quickly. Just use Software Update to keep your computer up to date. Note: these camera RAW updates can come in the form of an OS update or in the form of Camera RAW updates.
Adobe does seem to add support sooner, but I've heard complaints that it's not always full support.

Bridge in trial CS4 doesn't read my Canon G10 .CR2 files

One of my motivations for upgrading to CS4 is to use my canon G10 files through bridge.
I've transferred the files from the camera to my computer. I've also run them through the latest DNG converter to use with CS3 - that worked fine.
Now bridge in the CS4 trial lists the .CR2 files, but with no metadata or thumbnail. If I double click on the file, CS4 says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." The .DNG versions load without any problem.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Arthur

Thanks Don.
I had just come to that conclusion and tried to edit my post but it didn't seem to work.
My question now is, if I update to CR5.2, will that mess up CS3 (in case, for example, I don't end up keeping CS4)?

"Canon SLR EOS 40D" *Aperture and Canon's CR2 RAW files not supported.*

Hi,
I just started playing with Aperture, and with my brand new *Canon SLR EOS 40D* camera. One problem, Aperture is not recognizing the RAW file format. I am using RAW Fine**-L. Even with that it doesn't even see the JPG shots in Aperture. Went to the Canon site and it shows CR2 format. IPhoto 08 sees the JPG files just fine, It also sees the RAW files just doesn't know what to do with them. I know that RAW files are not supported on IPhoto 08. The camera is only been out a few months, but still lost on why Aperture doesn't support the format. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance....

For some reason or another Adobe Photo Shop 7 is no longer supported in Leopard. When you lunch Photo shop 7 in Leopard. You get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a Program error. Photo Shop will now exit." even if you reinstall the program, still you get the same error. Photo Shop 7 is Not the latest and greatest, but in most cases, that is all you need. Not sure if they plan on a fix, so for now I put that program on a shelve.
Hope that helps

Canon 5D CR2 RAW Files Have Visible Artifacts

There's a digital dithering pattern that's clearly visible on CR2 RAW files even with no adjustments in Aperture. Here are two example screenshots from Photoshop. The first is an 800 ISO image and the second is a 50 ISO image. I shoot RAW + JPEG.
In the first, the JPEG from the camera, zoomed at 400% (top) and the equivalent JPG export at quality "12" (lossless) from the RAW image in Aperture with no adjustments (bottom). This is just the RAW, exported to JPEG at lossless 8 bit, same area at 400%. I experimented with 16-bit TIFF and PSD exports as well and the dithering pattern is the same:
http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureJPGBug.jpg
In the second, I took the original RAW, converted it to DNG format (I have to in order to use Adobe Camera Raw on CS 1) and imported into Photoshop using ACR "camera default" settings. I show that image at 12.5% at the very top and a detail in a window at 400% in the middle of the stack. The bottom image was created by bringing the RAW into Aperture and, without making any adjustments, exporting it as a 16-bit Photoshop file.
I picked the blue area because it's easy to see the dithering pattern in a solid color. But it's there across the image.
This is not just a high ISO or highly adjusted image problem. This is an EVERY image problem, at least with Canon 5D CR2 files.
http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureExport_Bug02.jpg
I've taken the same file, processed it using Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop, exported it as a 16-bit PSD file and brought that into Aperture. Exports from that file are flawless. So I conclude that this has to do with the way that the OS is converting RAWs from the Canon 5D (or CR2s generally).
Can this be a priority to fix? If Aperture can't export high quality images, its other truly admirable features will be for naught.

Ian wrote a really good description of what RAW files are:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1303439&#1303439
Since the RAW file is encoding the chip information, and the two 1D2 and 1Ds2 cameras use different chips (they do, don't they?), then it's conceivable that they could have different results in Aperture.
On the other hand, I thought that CR2 files had the same underlying file structure, so it's strange that they encode differently.
Might it be possible to take some kind of test image with both cameras that is basically identical and has some areas that are dark? It would be interesting to compile a list of those cameras that have conversion issues and those that don't. I know the Canon 5D conversion is not so good, and that there's an Olympus problem (although I don't remember the camera). On the other hand, there are a number of Nikon users who seem pretty pleased with their conversions.

Importing Canon EOS 40D RAW format

I updated to iPhoto '08 hoping it would be able to import the RAW format from the new Canon EOS 40D camera. It cannot read that format to import photos. I only shoot in RAW so this is a big issue. Anyone have a solution or know when Apple will fix this issue? It imports RAW formats from my Canon 5D and 1D Mark III just fine.

Just a note, Raw support is provided by the operating system, not the program. As soon as the raw camera update is applied, all programs that use Apple's RAW routines will be able to process the raw images.
For example, I am still on iPhoto 5, but when the RAW updates are applied I will be able to use the EOS 40D, too.
Feel glad, you are in the same boat with the guys that paid good money to use Aperture. 8^)
You can install Canon's software to work with your raw images in the meantime, and then import them to iPhoto once the 40D is supported.

Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
Thanks!

IPhoto does not support Canon Powershot S45 RAW Format

Hi,
It seems iPhoto does not support Canon Powershot S45 RAW file format. Can this be added to be supported!?
Does anyone know how to report this to Apple and request this as a feature enhancement?

Or this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Either Aperture or Leopard doesn't support Canon 450D .CR2

I've imported a number of images from my wife's Canon 450D (Digital Rebel XSi) and while the images shot in JPEG alone are fine, the ones shot in RAW+JPEG are replaced with the red "unsupported image format" warning. These images show fine on my wife's mini (also running the same OS version, but iPhoto '09).
However, while the CR2 files from my 40D and CRW files from my venerable D30 display in Finder, the 450D's CR2 files are black. The JPEGs shot at the same time do display in Finder, however.
I did try deleting the duplicate JPEG images but that made no difference, and I have no tildes in the folder name.
So, given that Leopard does support the 450D's CR2 (wife's computer), and that the problem only exists with the camera's RAW files on my computer, I guess this means that there's something wrong with my install of the OS or Aperture. I don't really want to go down the route of converting to DNG, so other than that any suggestions?

The functionality for your camera was added way back in +Digitical Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1+ (we're now on 2.7 so this would have been quite a while ago.)
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL61
It would have shown up as a Software Update to the operating system itself (because the same update provides RAW support for both Aperture and iPhoto.)
Check "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software". You should see a list of all the software updates ever installed on your computer. It's probably easier to click on the column heading "Name" which will cause it to sort the updates by name (instead of by date installed which I think might be the default.) then scroll the list to search for "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" to see if you can find any version number which is 2.1 +or later+ (2.7 is the most recent).
If it's not installed, run Software Update to add it. If it shows that it is installed there may be a problem with your installation. You might try re-installing.
I did notice that the minimum OS requirement show that if you're running Leopard then your OS version needs to be at least 10.5.2 or later. Is there any chance you've not kept up with patches to Leopard (which would cause Software Update to skip applying the Camera RAW update)?
