Aperture stripping 8 pixels from Canon Digital Rebel CRW files?

hi,
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having the issue I am. I'm using Aperture with CRW files from a Digital Rebel, which are 3072x2048 in resolution. However, upon import into Aperture, images are listed as 3072x2040 in resolution. Exporting JPGs confirms that the images are only 2040 pixels in height. Converting the same RAW files in Photoshop results in images that are 2048 pixels in height.
What happened to those 8 pixels? It is kind of a pain because the 3072x2040 files are now not exactly a 3:2 aspect ratio...

yeah, I recognize that it's a very small "loss" of information, but it's just a little bit annoying because of the loss of the 3:2 aspect ratio. I just sent some of the 2040 images out for printing so hopefully there won't be an issue there.
I noticed that the crop tool, when you tell it to use a 3:2 aspect ratio, will generate crops that aren't exactly 3:2 pixel-wise. Again, it's very close, but I just feel like there's no reason why it shouldn't be exact.
Thanks for everyone's help! I guess I should start thinking about this as more of a "feature" than anything else...

RAW Images from Canon Digital Rebel XT

Does (or will) iPhoto 5 support the RAW files from the Canon Digital Rebel XT?

Hi David,
I have a Canon 20D which is supported in RAW mode.
The following dpreview report outlines the CD software download Canon Zoombrowser EX:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/page16.asp
It has a RAW image task which comes as a plug-in with the supplied software.
If the RAW can only be manipulated in the Canon software, a JPEG copy could be saved to iphoto.
I do agree a specific standard would be very helpful.
Best wishes,
Scott

Best RAW Image Processing for Canon Digital Rebel XT - PS Elements 6??

I'm new to RAW image processing and image editing. I just bought a Canon digital Rebel XT. It comes with Canon Digital Professional 2.1 software. I also have Aperture upgraded to 1.5.6, which I have tried on JPEGs from an earlier digital camera that only gave me JPEG files. Since Aperture doesn't give me as much editing diversity, I purchased the newly released Photoshop Elements 6 (and I don't have any experience with Photoshop). Thus, I now have 3 different RAW image processors. Does anyone have some experience with these 3 to suggest which one is best? The learning curve looks pretty steep, and it would be helpful to know which of these to focus on, at least initially.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Now that you have the Canon DPP installed i would update it to version 3.2 which is at Canons site.
Now, DPP has the best conversion quality for Canon RAW files. I used it a lot and although limited in what adjustments you have, it offers the essential adjustments and I liked it a lot.
Aperture also does a great job with Canon RAW files, but version 2.1 is even better
Photoshop Elements 6 I have not used but I do use Photoshop CS3
Personally for RAW I prefer Canon DPP over Adobe Camera Raw
And I prefer Aperture over Adobe Camera RAW too.
Now that Aperture has improved it's RAW conversion immensely and it offers tethered shooting with the XT, I am using Aperture exclusively to process RAW files.
An application like Elements or Photoshop CS3 are great if you want to do more advanced layered work and layer blending effects, however, for sepia , black/white, general image color & saturation or desaturated effects and good RAW conversion? I am all about using Aperture.
Now although I use it on a MBP, I will only do edit and color judging when attached to a cinema display or any good LCD with a DVI connection to the laptop.
But in conclusion, for RAW adjustments may as well focus on Aperture and use Elements for the few edits that Aperture does not allow.

Windows 7 64-bit driver for Canon Digital Rebel XT

How do I interface my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a computer running Windows 7 64-bit?

You are correct. Canon does not provide a driver for Windows 7 64-bit. You have to change the communication mode in your camera and then use Windows Photo Gallery or other software to transfer the photos. Here is the response that I received from Canon tech support (it works):
"To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, you'll need to change the communication mode.
To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on. Press the "Menu" button. Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab. Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set". This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT Instruction Manual.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on. Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, or you may use a card reader to download images. If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com."

Canon Digital Rebel XTi RAW support?

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and cannot get RAW files to import into iPhoto. I even tried the Image Capture trick (downloading to disk and then importing) to no avail. The file format is listed as CR2, which is supposed to be supported. Is it possible that Canon is using a different variant of the CR2 format for this camera and that I'll have to wait for another iPhoto or OS X update?

I'm having the same issue - RAW images (both sRGB and AdobeRGB) from the new Rebel XTi will not open in iPhoto.
It is important to note that the same images will not open in Photoshop CS2, nor with Adobe Bridge 1.0 and even with the updated Bridge 1.0.4.6.
I would hope that Apple will recognize that there is a significant difference in file format from the Rebel XT and the Rebel XTi - and that Apple will issue an update to iPhoto accordingly.
For now, looks like Rebel XTi users will need to limp along on Canon's proprietary (and u-u-ugly) software provided with the XTi.

Camera Connector+Canon Digital Rebel XT or SanDisk's reader

Does anyone know if Apple's iPod Camera Connector work with Canon Digital Rebel XT camera or with SanDisk's ImageMate CF Reader?

I have a answer for all of you regarding this question.....
I decided to give a risk and buy that connector and check it out by myself. Well, it doesn't work with SanDisk ImageMate CF Reader, BUT it WORKS with Canon Digital Rebel XT ! All you have to do is change in your menu option from PC to Print. I bought 5G iPod and everything works fine. That only big minus, it's slooooow. Downloading photos to you iPod is just super slooow.

Does "RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded" MATTER??

Need to buy new camera to use with my G5 and iPHoto 5. I desire (1) affordability, (2) more optical zoom than what I've had in past (want to move from 4x to 6x), and (3) compatible with my G5.
I've had 2 canon powershost (my last, the 570, but a kid dropped it). Easy to use. So maybe simliar, or something nicer.
Been studying the Canon web site about their various cameras. For the above reasons I like thePowerShot SX100 IS, about $240. 6x optical zoom.
HOWEVER, in the MAC OSX compatibility section at Canon it has this quote:
* Mac OS X 10.1 and newer come with Image Capture drivers that support most of Canon's digital cameras with USB interfaces. When a compatible camera is connected to a compatible Mac computer running OS X 10.1 and newer, the computer detects the camera and automatically launches Image Capture. This Apple program allows JPEG images in the camera to be downloaded to the Macintosh. NOTE: RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture. We suggest the use of File Viewer Utility or an external card reader. Also, movie files shot with PowerShot cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture or iPhoto. We suggest the use of ImageBrowser or an external card reader.
Additionally, Image Capture can access JPEG images directly from a CompactFlash card using an OS X-compatible card reader or using a PC Card Adapter in the PC Card slot of an Apple PowerBook.**
This line caught me confused: *RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded*
In the past, I just plugged in the Canon Camera, and iPhoto 5 opened, and I h appily downloaded the picts and off and away I was.
Will this still happen??? And if I'm not getting the "RAW" picts (whatever that is), but just the JPEGS I'm used to, am I not getting "all" the picts, or the best that my camera could be given me for eventually printing?
Am I worrying about nothing?
Finally, any camera suggestions? Under $300 , super picts, 5-10x zoom, and friendly with my Mac
Thanks
JON

You know, because you ask the question, I'll guess that it won't really matter to you...
Every camera shoots RAW - that's the total information that the sensor on the camera sees, but mid- and lower end cameras process this RAW data into an easy to use format such as jpegs.
Many (but not all) Pros demand that the camera provide all the data to the computer, so that the photographer can process the images him/her self. For most casual and family users this is not an issue. For the serious hobbyist and the Pro it might well be.
For more on Raw have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawimageformat
Btw, later versions of iPhoto do work with Some Raw formats.
As to cameras:
I used a Canon S2 IS for a couple of years and found it really good. There's and S3 and an S5 now too. Currently I'm using a Panasonic FZ8. I really like it.

I HAVE A CANON DIGITAL REBEL EOS 300D CAMERA. THE CF CARD WAS PUT IN THE CARD SLOT WRONG &DAMANAGED

I HAVE A CANON DIGITAL REBEL EOS 300D CAMERA. THE CF CARD WAS PUT IN THE CARD SLOT INCORRECTLY AND THE CARD SLOT WAS DAMANAGED. CAN THIS BE REPAIRED. AND HOW MUCH.

Hi Ronald,
I'm sorry to hear that the pins in the memory card compartment of your Digital Rebel have been bent.
Because the service life for this camera has expired, Canon no longer offers service for it. I'm sorry for the difficulty this causes.

Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?

Apply Adobe Photoshop to astrophotography requires numerous images to be converted from a raw CR.2 file to TIFF files. Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?
Thanks.

Note the option to open the first file and apply settings.
Personally, I'd be nervous of batch processing RAW files because they can need significantly different treatments file to file, but it is doable. I would assume that Image Processor would allow the XML sidecar files, so you would have the option of looking through and fine tuning any files that were not up to scratch.
You do not need to use that option. There are two other options. If the RAW file has never been process by ACR then ACR would use your defaults for the cameras used no ACR dialog UI will display. If the RAW file has been process by ACR there are ACR settings either in you ACR database or in your RAW files sidecar files in the same folder as the raw file these will be used.
I will often use the Bridge to process groups of RAW image files that look like they have similar exposures looking at the thumbnails the bridge displays. ACR will open for the group of RAW files. I will process one RAW file and sync the settings to the other image in the group. I may also make other ACR setting for some in the group like crops or spot healing for dust that may be in some sykes because my sensor needed cleaning. When I'm done all I do is click on the DONE button in ACR so it will save out ACR setting for all the raw files in the group. No image files are saved. When I use the image processor script I never use the open first RAW option and the Automate Image Processor Pro plug-in script does not have that option open first RAW in ACR and use the setting set for all other RAW files..

Photoshop CS Plugin for Canon Digital Rebel XT

I'm trying to access RAW files on my digital Rebel XT through Photoshop CS. I can't seem to find the right version of plugin. I tried 2.4 but it doesn't look like it supports Digital Rebel XT. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The DNG converter is a stand-alone program that does not rely on Photoshop or any other program to do its thing. It comes packaged with the Camera Raw plug-in, and is updated whenever Camera Raw is updated. Using the converter is very simple:
1. Extract the DNG converter from the zip file and place it wherever you want. The desktop is a good choice.
2. Locate a folder containing raw images. This can be a folder on your hard drive or a card from the camera.
3. Drag the folder containing the raw images and drop the folder onto the DNG converter icon.
4. The DNG converter will start. Choose a destination for your DNG files. Then click on the OK button.
When the DNG converter is finished, just close it and then open Bridge and locate the folder where you told the DNG converter to put your DNG images.

Canon Digital Rebel XT NOW supported!!!!!!

The 10.4.3 update has now updated the system to support the .CR2 raw files that the Digital Rebel XT makes. I notice that I could open them in Preview.app now so I figured I would give iPhoto a try and yup they import just as expected.(Finally!)
Hope everyone that has been waiting for this is happy. I know I am.
Matt

As long as the photo in iPhoto has the little RAW under it when I drag it from the library it shows up in photoshop as a raw image.
You might try reverting to original image before you try to drag it out of the library. The problem I have with this is when you are done and save it back iPhoto doesn't seem ti understand that this is an edited photo. So it looks like you will have to re-import the edited image.

.mov file from Canon 5D Mark II file blurry in Timeline

Haven't use FC in quite a while, so I'm a bit rusty.
When I import a clip into FC, it looks fine in the Viewer, but when I move it into the timeline it looks blurry in the Canvas. It remains blurry even after rendering and even after exporting with no compression. The file is a .mov file from a Canon 5D Mark II. I tried exporting it from QT as a QT file with no compression, as well as just importing the uncompressed .mov file, but nothing works. I'm sure it's something simple.
Thanks for any help!

Canon PowerShot A2300 .CRW files are not recognised by CS6, Bridge, ACR7 - Workaround??

I have enabled raw files on my Canon A2300 by loading up SDM (stereo data maker) scripting on the memory card, for the purpose of aerial photography (via kites and my small quadcopter). I now have nice big 16MP raw files that I cannot access on any software. Can anyone offer a workaround so that I can edit in ACR?
I have tried renaming the extension to .CR2 and .jpg but that didn't work.
Thanks

I have just checked my .CRW files and realise that the display problem is not random, all .CRW images shot in portrait mode are displayed as landscape. This appears to be an Adobe issue and means that the helpdesk was right - PS CS6 does not fully support this type of Raw file.

Import screen cannot enlarge preview thumbnail from Canon G15 raw CR2 file

Lightroom 4.3 import screen does not seem to be able to enlarge for better viewing the preview thumbnail from a Canon G15 raw CR2 file?

HI,
I do not know the answer, but I would expect, that Lr only displays the embeded jpeg preview of your raw files. And I think, that the previews are small. You can use exiftool , exiftoolgui to see what's the dimension of your previews.
