Aperture and Canon 5D with wireless adapter

I have a 15" macbook pro, and I want to get a 20" iMac to do this, if I can, but when I shoot in the studio, I use my wireless adapter on my Canon 5D to transmit my photos to a Mac. Is there a way that I can use aperture to monitor a directory, and display the new photos durring a shoot, so I can review them right away. I can use the canon software when im teathered, but defeats the wireless adapter, and I really love aperture.
Thanks!

Go here:

and get the Aperture Hot Folder script.
That should do it.

Aperture and Canon 20D

I am using Aperture with my Canon 20D and I notice that really bright areas in the RAW file have halos in Aperture. And, the quality of the conversions do not seem that great. I am especially put off by the poor sharpening abilty in Aperture. Can anyone help me? I make money with my pictures, but no one is going to want to buy these poor things.

HI,
I'm not sure what to suggest for you on this. I'm a professional photographer, using a Canon 1Ds MkII and a Canon 20D. I have no problems with either camera and Aperture RAW conversion.
Here are a few things you could try, however:
1. Check your histogram to be sure that your image is not "blown-out." If so, dial the exposure down;
2. Check your sharpening and chroma blur settings to ensure that they are not to strong. You should examine your photos at 100% magnification to check this;
3. Check to see whether you have onscreen proofing turned on; and, if so, check to see what profile you are using. You may need to turn it off or to use a better/different profile;
4. Lastly, be sure to have all the latest updates installed on your machine, i.e. Tiger 10.4.7; Aperture 1.1.2, etc.
Not that this is much comfort, but, I can assure you that Aperture works perfectly well with a Canon 20D and its RAW files. This seems to be an isolated event, which is most likely fixable.

"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

Upgrade to kernel 2.6.26.2-1 and my ralink-based wireless adapter

The latest upgrades (kernel26, rt2500, etc.) are causing me major problems with my wireless adapter. It's a junky Belkin model which uses the rt73usb driver (part of the rt2500 package, I believe). Anyway, after the upgrade, if/iwconfig returns no wlan0 interface. Modprobing the rt73usb driver doesn't help. I also see a blur of ugly looking text at bootup that seems to relate to my USB hub - but that's probably an unrelated issue.
Is anyone else having problems?
EDIT: This should probably be moved to Kernel & Hardware Issues. I'm acting stupid today...

I've had issues with rt73usb after upgrading to 2.6.26, too. The kernel even oopsed when plugging the adapter in (you might refer to it by writing "a blur of ugly looking text" ).
I'm currently testing a small patch borrowed from the Ubuntu guys and it does the trick so far. See here:

Qemu - Bridged networking with wireless adapter

How can I use bridged networking with wireless on Qemu virtual machine? With virtualbox it can be easily done. I don't why in Qemu it is so complicated, maybe virtualbox have completely difference mechacnism on this. I've read the wiki, it looks like impossible to use wireless for bridged networking. If it is really impossible, why virtualbox can do it?
And, in arch wiki's qemu manual, i didn't see how to use NetworkManager there to do bridged networking. Since, I use NetworkManager and disable the others (like netct and dhcpcd), it make it even more complicated. But, maybe it's because me that don't understand. Maybe someone experienced here can give me a way around this?

bagol wrote:How can I use bridged networking
It's up to you to set up the bridged network - or use TAP, e.g.:
ip tuntap add dev <devname> mode tap user <youruser>
ip lin set <devname> up
ip route ...
... and proxy_arp
... and iptables forwarding & masquerade
It's a good learning experience, to set up the network yourself, rather than have VirtualBox do similar things by *magic*

Aperture and RAW support with Canon EOS 60D

Got my new Canon EOS 60D yesterday. But Aperture does not support the new RAW photos from the EOS 60D yet.
Anyone with the same problem?
When is Apple updating the RAW support for the 60D in Aperture?

Well, DNGs don't actually contain all the data of the original raw file, so that could be an issue.
As an example, the focus point functionality of Aperture 3.0 doesn't work with files converted to DNG, as the camera-specific information has been stripped from the file by Adobe. I don't know whether the DNG format can actually hold that info or not, but as of today it doesn't.
Apple historically has tended to support the new SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, so I wouldn't be surprised if support came along shortly. That said, buying a camera the day it's available and expecting immediate support for its raw format is not all that reasonable. The vendors providing raw support don't necessarily have access to pre-release versions of the cameras (in general), so there's going to be some time necessary to develop and QA the support for the new format.

Aperture and Canon 7D

I am thinking about upgrading to a canon 7d. I read how there was a problem with Aperture reading RAW files, especially with red. I currently use Aperture 2 and dont want to buy the 7D if I am going to problem with Aperture.
Has the problem been fixed? Any suggestions?
Thanks

nighttime shots indoors still have a cherry (magenta) red cast to the red colors that is awfully hard to get rid of. When you do, it often gets splotchy, and makes people, especially older people, have rosacia.
This is probably going to sound really weird, and shows Aperture still has some issues it needs to figure out, but....
On one of your high ISO indoor 'red' shots, add a vignette, but set both sliders to 0, effectively removing the vignette that is being added.
Yes. I'm serious. This completely changes the red casts, and kills the nasty posterization I see on my system.

Aperture and Canon 40D RAW

When will Aperture support RAW from my Canon 40D?
In the meantime how should I handle my RAW images? Can I import them into Aperture now with metadata attached and when the support is there all my photos and metadata will appear?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The first question has been asked many times in the last 4 weeks and there's no answer. Ask more and Apple will lock this thread.
Second question. If you shoot RAW only, Aperture will import the file, and you won't be able to see it or work with it. You can export it to use Canon's DPP, Photoshop or other available converter to process it, save it to TIFF or JPEG, and then reimport to Aperture for now.
If you shoot RAW and JPEG, Aperture will import both files, but it's not apparent where the JPG file is. Control-click or right-click the grey square thumbnail or the reddish main window, and click "New Version from Master JPEG" to reveal the full-resolution JPEG image the camera took.
When OSX starts supporting 40D in the future, those RAW files will automatically be shown inside Aperture.

Aperture and Canon 5dMark11 Raw

I used my new 5d recently and used the combo sRAW1 and JPEG to be imported to Aperture (latest version). It seems Aperture only works with full RAW and not the other RAWs on the Canon. I called Canon but they only suggested importing using their supplied software DPP. It works but I'd like to know about Aperture.
Any thoughts on this being so or am I missing something?
Thanks,
John

Most if not all third-party raw convertor programs will only work with the full raw file from a dslr. They won't work on the sub-variations like sRAW. For that, as Canon said, you have to go to their software. IOW, if you stray from the full raw format you have to go to you the camera manufacturer's software.

Airport Express and Canon Pixma IP4500 wireless printing

Hello,
I bought an Airport Express and set it up as an additional wireless network at an 5Ghz N mode. It's conneted to a Linksys Wireless router modem/router. Internet connectivity is fine from both iMac 24 and MacBook. Both use OSX 10.5.4.x
Airport is set up via USB with a Canon Pixma IP4500 inkjet. When connected directly to the iMac, it prints fine. When I connect the IP4500 to the Airport Express, I get an Error 300 - basically saying the printer is not responding.
The whole point of the Airport Express was a faster network for both wireless printing and playing iTunes wirelessly from the MacBook.
Any tips on what could be a common problem for this printer?
Thanks

I had a similar problem
I had to "add a new printer", so one printer refers to the directly connected printer and the other refers to the printer connected to the airport (bonjour).
Greetings.

Help Am New To Apples And Need HELP With Wireless Conenction Imac Mini

Hi
First time here, i think i am running myself in circles here reading hundreds od different threads and pdf's.
What i want to do is share my broadband connection with the Imac intel dual core (Wifes), My PC and an XBOX 360. Have the pc and the xbox already connected to the router which is a belkin wirelss pre-n router. the Pc is connected by cable to back of router port 1, the xbox 360 is wireless to the router.
What i want to know is do i need to get anything else for the imac to connect it to the router as it says it has airport extreme wireless networking.
My way of looking at it is that i neeed nothing else and it should just see a wirelless network from the router and connect to that, is that right?
If i am way off do i need something else to plug into the router to make the apple go wireless.
I haven't trierd it yet as we only just got it (the mac) and like to be in charge of all the facts first before setting networks up
MAny thanks for looking and thanks in advance of any help

Yes.

Aperture and EXIF information with EOS 300D RAW (.CRW) files

When I look at the EXIF metadata in Aperture, it shows some things completely wrong:
Shutter speeds over 1 second are shown as 1.0 seconds
The Serial number of the camera is totally wrong
There is no Exposure compensation
the Color Space is wrong (I use sRGB wich Aperture reports as Adobe RGB)
There are 8 pixels missing (see another thread)
There is no information about flash usage
Does anyone else have similar problems?
I am using a Canon EOS 300D (called Digital Rebel is the US)
Tomas Grönvall, Finland

may be a random question but are you using the
modified Firmware for Digital Rebels?
I'm using the original firmware (1.1.1) and Aperture 1.0.1

Can't use tab and esc function with wireless keyboard

I've recently installed the wireless apple keyboard and it works fine when typing emails, etc., but I can't seem to scroll with the arrows, tab through emails, use the ESC button to close email messages, etc. Is this fixable?

I do not know about good specifically, but almost none do. The wireless key board is good for moving around within a text box or a document. But moving around a web page, or anything outside of the text box, is based on screen touch.
So in your case it means type an entry, touch the screen to get to the next box, type and entry. Thats just the way it works.

Aperture and Canon 5D mark II import problem: copyright and author metadata

After importing RAW images to Aperture, I missing my name and copyright info in metadata, everything els is there; lens, focal length, shutter sped... I try several methods from camera direct, from memory card, using EOS software to HD and to Aperture. Nothing works. Did anybody have same problem?

Ah. I didn't know that.
This type of information is defined typically in IPTC, not EXIF. Aperture probably ignores those EXIF fields; in general if it gets EXIF data it doesn't understand, I think it ignores it.
As to your other comment about making this data unmodifiable -- it's not really possible to make it immutable. EXIF in general is a lot harder to modify than IPTC, but unless the file is encrypted and self-checksumming, a person with a sector editor (or an application designed to change EXIF) will get around this.
I don't think there's yet a standard way to really "protect" full-sized image files, at least for JPEG or TIFF files.

Slight bands using Aperture and Canon 30D

Hi guys,
I have some problems using Aperture, developing/converting RAW files from my Canon 30D.
Unfortunatly I have bands in my pictures. Means that there are slight differences in the brightness of the files, which will give horizontal bands.
We already tested these files in other RAW converters like Capture One, RAW developer and Adobe RAW Converter.
Only the Adobe RAW Converter doen't show these bands in the RAW file, so we think that these are probably are errors coming from the camera chip, which Adobe already knows and fixed by their converter files.
I only see these bands on my concert pictures using ISO400 to 800. This will probably explain the errors coming from the chip.
So my question is, does anyone of you saw the same things in your pictures?
I have and developed image where you can see the problem. I also can send you the original RAW file to check for the problem.
