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.

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.

"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

Aperture 2 Canon G9 Raw problem

If you have any raw files in Aperture 1.5.x libraries they should be deleted fist before upgrading. This images were not compatible in 1.5.x and cannot be read. I kept them in 1.5.x thinking when an upgrade would come they would then be supported.
See intial post of the problem at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1408070&tstart=0
The solution is as follows:
Before upgrading to Aperture 2 back up your vault
Then delete any unsupported raw .cr2 files that may be in the library.
I tried exporting the raw files first before deleting them but files became corrupted. Try any way it may work for you.
Back up your library again under a different name to a new vault. This new vault will ne all images minus the raw.
You now will have to back ups of your Aperture 1.5.x libraries- one with raw and all other images - one of just your images and no raw.
This is done just to be super safe.
Make sure you have all upgrades of Leopard, Aperture 1.5.6 and Iphoto? loaded and running OK.
Now insert you Aperture 2 dvd disk and follow the instructions to upgrade.
All should go well with no worries off losing your images.
Today I will try the new features of Aperture 2. So far it does seem to run a little faster.
New raw files imported perfectly with no problems.
Again the problem I had is related to Canon G9 raw files that are not supported im Aperture 1.5.6 library then upgrade to Aperture 2 and tried to rad them and open them in CS3 within the new Aperture 2 taking out all the other jpg image in the same project.
Again for more detail on this problem read the initial post linked above.
Enjoy and remeber always back up even the backup.

Well, I really should pay closer attention to Apple tech support. The Apple document here is correct: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307342
The solution is EASY:
After importing a project with the Canon G9 RAW files into Aperture 2, they have incorrect aspect ratios, as we all experienced. I simply selected the distorted RAW files, chose File--> Migrate and checked the box to update my RAW files. Lo and behold! All fixed.
No more problem.
(I really should pay closer attention to what I read...)
Hope it works for you.

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.

DNG 4.2 and Canon G9 raw CR2 problem

I have been unsuccesful getting the 4.2 DNG to convert the CR2 Canon G9 files, getting an error message that the file type is not supported. Running Windows XP Home. Any ideas as to how I can fix this. Thanks, Jeff

I just helped my friend with the Canon G9 Raw file won't open and recognized on Mac Computer.
Problem when try to open or drag the Raw image (*.CR2 File), I got an error message says the file type is either not supported or corrupted, also the file in the browser are all grayed out, means can't click & select & open. So I re-install the software just to make sure the software is fine.
The software comes with the camera is easy to install, here is the thing I was stumbled but figured it out.
1. Use browser to find the raw file.
2. click to select the file
3. go to Menu Bar under "File" there is a section you'll see "Process Raw File" or something like that, then you are done, from there you can edit and open a Raw file.
My impression towards to the raw image quality and canon software: The software interface is not as nice compare to PS Element 4 Raw Plug-in, especially there is not button for "Processing Raw" on the browser window that you have to go to File >.. , I hope this is just for Mac users or I have to say the software is silly.

Aperture and Adobe Camera Raw

I would love to set up Aperture to allow me to edit images in Adobe Camera Raw. I can open images from Aperture in Adobe Camera Raw by setting Adobe Bridge as my external editor, but none of the adjustments are saved in Aperture. From Bridge, I can also save the file as a dng file that Aperture should be able to read and save it in the numbered folder where Aperture placed the original raw image, but the saved dng file doesn't show up in Aperture. Apparently Aperture can't see any images in its own folders if it didn't place them there.
I also tried making my adjustments in Adobe Raw, saving it as a dng file and then importing it into Aperture. This is not ideal, as it would be convenient to do the Adobe Raw adjustments from within Aperture, but it does allow me to import the edits into Aperture. Aperture does something odd in this case. When I open the imported dng image in Aperture, at first it displays it with the edits I made in Adobe Raw but after a few seconds reverts to the originla raw image. I can't figure out how to recover the adjustments.
Can anyone fill me in on the nuances of Aperture in this workflow? Is there some way I can at least make the raw edits in Adobe Raw and make them available in Aperture.
Some of this may be my ignorance. For some reason, I have never been able to fully grok the whole version/master process in Aperture, never quite sure how to move between versions and masters. I suspect that some of my issues with the imported dng files is a version/master thing that I am not understanding.
I'm beginning to wish that I had set Aperture up to use external folders rather than place my files in the Aperture database. I think if I had done this it might have eased my current issues.
Is there any way to export an Aperture database so it exports the images into folders that correspond to projects and folders in Aperture? I suspect not, but . . . one can wish.
Any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

If this is what is happening, it means Aperture can interpret the ADR data, but chooses not to. If I could get it to use that data, it could solve most of my issues.
In the Adobe Camera Raw preferences, there is a section called: 'DNG File Handling'. You can (and may already have) select the option 'Update embedded JPG previews' and use the drop down to select either Medium or Full Size. The result should be (in Bridge at least) that adjustments you make in ACR and then either click 'Done' to save to the .XMP file inside the DNG file or click 'Open' to launch and render the image in PS for further work.
The result should be an updated embedded JPEG inside the DNG file that can be used by any program that can read DNG and is set to use an embedded JPEG.
In testing on my machine a couple of years ago on Snow Leopard, the OS X included program Preview did not show the updated previews though. It only displayed the original RAW data. I assumed it either was not set to show any embedded JPEG preview, or was simply not designed to be compatible in that way. Preview uses the same digital camera RAW compatibility function of OS X that Aperture uses. So it did not surprise me to see that it was not working in Aperture at that time. This was either a later version of AP 2 or early version of AP3, but I can't remember for sure.
It was my understanding that the purpose and function of dng files is so that raw edits made by any software could be accessed cross platform through the open source dng file. If Aperture simply chooses to ignore that data, it defeats the purpose of dng.
My understanding of DNG is that it is an archive type file made of (1) a RAW conversion which holds the decoded RAW data, (2) any .XMP file that has been created by the decoding software as well as; (3) ITPC and EXIF metadata and some other info such as ICC profiles and the JPEG preview. You can also opt to include the original RAW file.
I don't know the extent to which Aperture is designed to support the DNG file though. Does it handle it like a PSD file where it retains the full file content, but only supports displaying it in a limited fashion (e.g., no transparency)? Or should it actually read the .XMP data file and render it based on that info? I don't think this is the case as the .XMP data that pertains to adjustments made by another RAW decoder doesn't seem to be compatilble with the way Aperture is handling adjustments.
You could certainly test the embedded JPEG in a DNG file by making and saving some changes to the copy of a file in Finder and then comparing the original DNG to the adjusted one using the Preview program. If the changes are not shown, then the issue (or lack of one depending on Apple's point of view) is with the OS X digital camera RAW compatibility function (which they update for new digital cameras periodically).
If Preview does show the changes, you could then import both the original and adjusted DNG into an Aperture library (even a new test library) and see if it displays the differences. If it does, then this would point to an issue with sending a file from inside Aperture to an external program and then saving back (assuming this still fails to work as you expect).
Sorry I don't have more. I decided not to go with DNG and just archive with RAW and JPEG depending on what I end up wanting to do with the images.

CS5.5 and Canon 6D RAW files

I got CS5.5 and now I bought Canon 6D but although updated Camera Raw does not support Canon 6D RAW files (CR2). What is the problem?

The 6D is not supported until ACR 7.3 so you need to upgrade your Photoshop to CS6 or CC or use the current version of the free DNG Converter to convert your images to DNGs, first.

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 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.

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.

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.

DNG Converter 5.6 and Canon S90 RAW Images

This has been an ongoing query with the Adobe Customer Support Centre since November 12 last year. Refer case no #0181279281. Although the documentation that accompanies DNG 5.6 states that the Canon S90 is a supported camera, the converted images come out far too saturated and are not usable. Has anyone been able to rectify this problem? I use Photoshop CS3.

Rob_Minter wrote:
…if I upgrade to ACR 5.6, will the image look the same (on my monitor) as when it is opened in ACR 4.6?
Rob,
Well, for starters, you cannot open the CR2 in ACR 4.6 directly. You know that, of course, otherwise you wouldn't have to mess with the DNG Converter in the first place.
If you use ACR 5.6 and if you have correctly installed the additional camera profiles that will get added to ACR 5.6 once you correctly install the DNG Converter 5.6, you will have a variety of choices to open your CR2 file or a DNG derived from that file. Even the "Adobe Standard" profile for your particular will most likely improve the rendition, but you can choose the "Camera Faithful" or any of the other five profiles specifically provided for your camera model.
Note that the screen shot is a medium-resolution JPEG only.
This ACR rendition was generated in ACR 5.6 with the "Adobe Standard" profile
and an Exposure correction of +1.45.
Also note that only the profiles for the specific camera that generated the raw file will show in the profile menu of the Camera Calibration tab at any given time. Other cameras will cause that profile menu to show different profiles. In actuality, the installation of the DNG Converter adds a gazillion profiles for all supported cameras, so it's a good thing that only the camera-model-specific ones show.
This ACR rendition was generated in ACR 5.6 with the "Camera Faithful" profile
and an Exposure correction of +1.45.
The rendition of the image will be different with each of the profiles (as you can see above), but even so, I doubt any of those profiles will match the rendition of the totally obsolete ACR 4.6. The ACR 5.6 rendition is bound to be better.
Each new version of ACR includes improvements, enhancement and bug fixes that are not publicized or even admitted.
If you have mastered the use of ACR, you can match the rendition of just about any raw converter and any other profile, especially if you calibrate your camera, which is extremely easy to do in ACR 5.6. You can save as many presets as you want.
That's why I strongly recommend Jeff Schewe's book. As far as I'm concerned, it's required reading.
Finally, there are many other reasons to upgrade to ACR 5.6, like the spot Adjustment Brush and the Targeted Adjustment Tool (TAT).
Don't take my word for it, download the CS4 trial version and update that to ACR 5.6 (it comes with 5.0, also very obsolete). You can keep different versions of Photoshop on your disk. On the Mac, you can even run different versions simultaneously by launching the older version(s) first.
Uninstalling CS4, though, may mangle your CS3 install, so keep that in mind. My feeling is, though, that once you use CS4, you won't ant to look back at CS3. DISCLAIMER: I have no connection to Adobe whatsoever.
I cannot speak to Lightroom because I do not use it, for a number of reasons that are not relevant to your issue.
Respectfully,

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:
