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 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

How do I print images from Aperture to the Canon MG6150?

I have recently installed (i think correctly) a Canon MG6150 printer on my iMac but am having difficulty making it work correctly when photo printing (the wireless connection seems OK). When printing from Aperture I can cause a print to be made but the printer prints very quickly and the colour balance is incorrect (it's too pale and not saturated). I think maybe this is due to the wrong paper selection but i can find no way via the Aperture menu of selecting the paper type being used. According to my 1:1 trainer i should see a "Quality and Media" sub menu in Aperture when i print and from there i can select paper type etc. However this "Quality and Media" sub menu is not present on my machine when printing from Aperture. As an alternative i've tried printing from the Canon Easy Photo Print EX utility but each time i try this i have to go through a lengthy process of identifying my region and country before reaching the select images screen. Once there i am unable to find my Aperture files and hence cannot select any images, nor go onto the next stage which seems to be selecting the paper type. All this would be very arduous to use (lots of keystrokes) - am i missiing something?
Also when installing my Canon software from the supplied disc i was referred to the Canon website which said that there were driver updates coming along to sort out some bugs associated with Lion OS (which i'm using). As i understand it these new drivers are not available until sometime during October and hence i haven't been able to download any as yet.
Any help greatfully appreciated as i'm fast running out of hair. Thanks a lot.

The same way you would export to any file system:
Connect the flash drive and once it is mounted you can export to it in the regular manner.

Aperture and the OpenRAW initiative...

Hi,
Do any of you know where Apple is in terms of supporting the thoughts and ideas of the openRAW community?
Personally I would like to have my images and the work I do on them to survive the life-span of Aperture.
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

It is my gut feeling this OpenRAW thing will lose steam over time, and here's why. The consortium is calling for an agreed upon standard file format for RAW--something which in theory may seem like a good idea, but who would....
- develop said format
- update said format with each new camera release
and the biggie...
- who would OWN the rights to the license for said format?
There is a lot on the line for whomever gets the nod (or fails to). Of the major manufacturers out there, Nikon is committed to their own proprietary NEF format, and have gone on record in the past as stating their stance on OpenRAW.
Companies like Canon, Hasselblad, and Phase One all have significant investments in R&D with regards to RAW formats, so I don't see any of them dropping their formats.
And the whole Adobe DNG initiative is a joke. C'mon, we already have to do one RAW conversion, why make photographers jump through yet another hoop to conform to a fledgling "open" standard which is tied too closely to a single corporation?

Aperture and the Retna Display

I have not been here for a while, so this has most likely already been discussed. If so, please disregard my post.
I was in an Apple store the other day and finally got a chance to look at the new MacBook Pro Retna (MBPR).
So the MBPR has really high resolution. (total number of pixels) In the default (or recommended) display settings (System Preferences) the UI shows text in what I would call a large, sharp mode. It uses all the extra pixels to make the text sharper, not really small. I assumed applications like Aperture would use all the pixels when it displayed photos. However, that didn't seem to be the case.
In Aperture, I double clicked a photo to view a single photo. I then clicked on the 100% icon. In this mode, I expect to see a one to one relationship between the pixels in the photo and the pixels in on the display. There should be no scaling.
I compared this (side by side) with another MBPR where the display settings were set to most pixels. (I forgot what it's actually called) In this mode, the text is much smaller. So you can see more of the UI. It's smaller and a little harder to see, but you can see more. I then took the same photo and clicked the 100% icon. This time, I got a different result.
I expected the 100% view to show the exact same way on both computers, regardless of the display settings in System Preferences. I expected those settings to affect the UI, not viewing photos at 100%.
In the default mode Aperture zoomed in more of the photo, so I saw less of it.
In the "more pixels" it was less zoomed in, so I saw more of the photo.
The default mode was not 100%, because given the size of the photo (around 3,000 pixels wide) it was too zoomed in. The "more pixels" mode seemed closer to 100%, but I don't think the math was working out right, since it seemed to show the full width of the photo and the MBPR is less than 3000 pixels wide.
No one at the Apple store could explain it to me.
Can someone with a MBPR explain it to me?

The link to the AnandTech site provided a good (the answer) explanation.
System Preferences in Default Mode: UI scales 4X and Aperture scales photos at 1X. So, in this mode when you click on the zoom viewer button, the image is scaled 1x, so it's a 1 for 1 pixel representation.
System Preferences in More Space Mode: Text is scaled at 2X (so your text and UI elements are smaller). However, Aperture no longer scales the image at 1X. It is scaling it down to fit.
This explanation seems to fit what I saw at the Apple store.
I would have thought that the System Preferences would only affect text and UI elements, not things like photos and videos, at least when viewed at 100% zoom.
I'm not sure I understand why Apple would change the 100% viewing of images/videos. I would think that should stay constant. Especally give the fact that the System Preferences settings no longer changes the displays resolution. Now it's changing the scaling factor, which I think should only affect text and UI.
But, that's just my opinion. Either way, Keith you have provided the answer to my question.

Managing Color with LR and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver

I would like help understanding how to manage color in LIghtroom with the Canon Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver. When I ask LR to manage color in the Printing Module Color Management Profile, it warns me to turn off the printer managing color. But I cannot find where to do this in the driver.
The Color Options menu in the driver gives an additional choice for "Color Mode", but there are no choices here except "Standard", "Linear" or "Tone". The only Canon documentation I can find shows a choice to turn off printer management here, but this driver doesn't give me that choice.
If I look in the driver's "Color Matching", I see only two choices: ColorSync or Vendor Matching. ColorSync brings up Canon profiles like "Pro9000 Fine Art Photo Rag", but selecting one of these gives a warning of unexpected results. This pushes me back to Vendor Matching. But is this turning off the printer driver and leaving it to Lightroom?
Right now, I am getting the best results from choosing "Managed by Printer" in LR's Color Management Profile, and setting "Color Matching" in the Canon driver to "Vendor Matching". If I instead choose one of the Canon profiles in LR's Color Management Profile (and it tells me to turn off the printer managing, which I cannot do), then my prints have a slightly bluer color cast.
Is there a way to turn off the printer managing color in this driver and turn this over to LR, or am I getting the best results possible with the printer managing color anyway?
I am using a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4, 2 gigs SDRAM, standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card. I downloaded the Canon printer driver from their website, so I assume this is the latest. there is another driver available at their website, but for a lower bit depth. Should I abandon the 10.1.2.0 for this other one? I work with Nikon D300 NEFs, and I assumed the higher bit depth printer driver will work better with these images.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dear DYP: Unfortunately, those choices are not available in the 10.1.2.0 Canon Printer driver. There are only 2 radio buttons, ColorSync and Vendor Matching. ColorSync then provides a drop-down menu, with no choice for turning off the printer driver.
But I think I found the answer. I found a deeply buried FAQ on the Canon site (no direct URL; sorry!) Here it says:
"Issue: How do I disable the printer driver color correction when using the CUPS driver in Mac OS X 10.5.x?
Solution: Change color management options for printing (Mac OS X 10.5.x)
Change color management options for printing
Open the document you wish to print.
Click 'File' and then click 'Print.'
Note: If the Print window contains only two pop-up menus, click the triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu for expanded options.
Select 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu.
Select 'ColorSync' if you want the application you are using, and not the printer driver, to control the color management of the printed output.
Note: If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 and have selected 'Let Photoshop Determine Colors', the 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu is automatically set to 'ColorSync.'
Select 'Vendor Matching' if you want the printer driver to control the color management of the printed output."
I tried it, and chose "Automatic" as a choice in ColorSync. The choices under "Color Options" are then greyed out, implying that the Canon driver is now turned off.
The prints came out great, with no color cast, and a little brighter than the printer managed prints.
So, Vendor Managed means printer manages, ColorSync means LR manages.
Thanks, everyone, for keeping me going on tracking this down!

Lightroom and the Canon 5D Mark II

Does Lightroom V2 support the Canon 5D Mark II?

Support was introduced in LR 2.2 (ACR 5.2) and refined in LR 2.3 RC so you should be running the latest version.

HT5132 Aperture and the end of MobileMe

I have no MobileMe albums,
I switched to iCloud and still everytime time Aperture bothers me with "MobileMe has been discontinued" with a choice between "learn more" OR "ok".
OK hangs Aperture.
Found the answer in the "Preferences", "Web"

You should have added the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the MobileMe feed while you had the chance. As this is no longer possible, your only option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to transfer iTunes' attentions to the new feed. Give them the iTunes Store URL, and the URLs of both feeds. I can't guarantee they will do this, but they have for others. Unfortunately your existing subscribers won't be notified of the change (as they would have silently been with the redirection tag) so for them it will just stop working.

Aperture and the new Mac Mini

I actually wonder if this new mac Mini could handle Aperture:
I currently have an iMac G5 2.1GHz and 128MB video card, with a firewire 400 external drive.
If I switch for the Mini with the 800 firewire connectivity and, say, the 256 MB shared graphics video , would I get an much better reactivity and speed ?

At the moment, the Aperture product page does not explicitly state that the software will run on the new mini with it's Nvidia integrated graphics system. It should, since while not highly recommended, it was capable of running on the Intel GMA950 of the prior model, but I think you'd need to check with the vendor (presumably Apple via phone or in-store) before purchase, just to be sure.
Assuming that it does run, you should find the system notably faster and more responsive than your current G5 iMac since the processor is a generation ahead in performance, and the system's bus speed etc are all faster. It would be wise to go for the highest RAM complement possible however, since that makes a considerable difference to operating speed as a whole.

Macbook Air and the Canon Pixma MG2200

Hi,
I moved to England and am still using a Macbook Air from the US. I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MG2200 printer and would like to use it...however it will not work on my mac. I've download the necessary software, restarted my computer, purchased the correct usb chords, etc. It just simply won't appear on my computer at all. Any advice?

I had a similar problem with my Canon printer but after it had been working. It stopped wirelessly connecting to my MBA but did connect wirelessly to our MacBook. I turned it and my MBA off, waited, turned them back on and it did not fix the problem. Then we had some electrical work done on the house and the power was out for 15 minutes. That fixed it! So the first action I suggest you unplug it, wait a minute or more and then plug it in again.
I found it useful to install the software form the CD provided with the printer rather than downloading the drivers. The download options were confusing with different drivers for different functions and the scanner did not work from the System Preferences > Print & Scan menu until I installed the software from the CD.
If all else fails contact Canon. It could be DOA and clearly is covered under the Canon warranty.

Tethering and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel

Aperture site says its supported but all I get when connected is the HUD will the button in ready mode but when you click capture or take a picture with the camera, nothing. I have connected by PTP and it will not see the camera. I have removed the card and taken pictures with the camera and still nothing.
Is there something I have missed?

canon changed the tether protocols...over a year ago....all canons from the last year cannot be used tethered in aperture....please do us all a favor and contact apple support and put in a request to finally have this fixed...the more write in, the better our chances are....
this is the 3rd thread on the first page of the forum on the same subject....apple please listen...

Aperture and the ipad

I am new to ipad, but I imagine there must be something other than photoshop express to organize and manipulate photos. Do you have any suggesstions? I would love to use Aperture, or even iphoto!
Thanks,
BBT

This probably won't happen until the iPad gets ios 4, when the APIs open up. Until then the database isn't open to third parties for organization. Hopefully we'll have a way to import while shooting (maybe even tethered control) and be able to select, give ratings, crop and export. I'm not so concerned about editing raw on the iPad, and I doubt it can handle it. I just want to be albe to review with a client on a shoot and easily email or ftp jpeg versions after a shoot.
Hope hope, fingers crossed.
Right now it's ok, just to be able to import and review after a shoot. But it just seems there are other possibilities that would just require proper access to the database.

Aperture and the new iPhoto 08 books???

It doesn't seem like you can order the new books introduced with iPhoto 08, that kinda su.ks! The 1.5.4 update does not add the new books which look way cool. This is really sad

Hu? I don't know what to say to that.
= ]
It works! To answer your original question. under the file menu in the new iPhoto you can access your Aperture files! JOY just drag them into the book icon and it will import the photo and add it to your book project. It would be nice if it didn't take the extra step, but I have the feeling as I said in the above post that the new books not being in aperture is temporary.
