Canon 350D/450D vs. Lightroom

I wonder how to setup a Canon camera with USB to a laptop and get the
picture auto into Lightroom when the picture is taken.
Anyone who have done this?

A CC subscription lets you install some older versions of some of the apps like Photoshop. But Lightroom 5 is the earliest you can install with Creative Cloud. That means a CC subscription isn't going to help solve this problem. If you want to try using Lightroom 4.1 you will have to find a license somewhere; Adobe no longer sells them. But getting Lightroom 4 may not solve the problem on its own.
I own a 350D and Lightroom 4.1, so I tried it on my Macs running Mavericks. Tethering the 350D still doesn't work. Tethering a 7D works great, the camera is recognized immediately.
I think the problem is the one that ssprengel mentioned: Canon themselves stopped supporting the 350D in their tethering SDK and no longer updated it for newer versions of OS X. If you want to tether a 350D, I think your first step is to set up a boot disk with an older version of OS X and then install the tethering software on that. Some additional evidence backing this up: Other software won't tether a 350D either. For example, DSLR Remote Pro can only tether a 350D up to Mac OS X 10.5. Also, the current version of Canon EOS Utility cannot tether a 350D in Mavericks, so you can't even do it with Canon's own software. When you trace the problem all the way back, it looks like it isn't an Adobe or Apple problem, but ultimately a Canon problem.

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

Why do not Canon 350D show up in the Finder?

Hi
I have connected my Canon 350D, using the USB connector. It does not show up in the Finder window.
IPhoto will automatically start and I can download the images.
I prefer to use Photoshop CS2, but the canon is not shown there eighter! How can I get it to be shown on the bridge of Photoshop and in the find window???
Is there a driver or an update that I have to download for this???
The thing is that I now have to download all the images into Iphoto and then open them in the bridge. I dont want that. I want to use the bridge and pick the pictures I want to work with directly from the camera memorycard without loading then into Iphoto first!
Please help!

Hi there,
go to Applications-->Image Capture-->Preferences-->General.
Change the setting so that Bridge is the selected Application.

IPhoto 6.0.5 + Mac OS 10.4.8 won't import photo from Canon 350D

Hello,
I am using a Canon 350D and iPhoto since 18 months. Since my latest set of upgrades, iPhoto opens correctly when I plug my camera in but the Import process is not starting.
I upgraded simultanously Mac OS X to 10.4.8 and iPhoto to 6.0.5 (316) I am therefore not sure what caused the problem, one thing is sure, before my upgrades, everthing was OK.
Fortunately, I have an external card reader, which is correctly recognized and allows to import my pictures.
Any other users having the same problem ?
Any tips ?
Thanks
Seb

You're not alone.
I had to buy a card reader yesterday. This is obviously a 10.4.8 / 6.0.5 issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=699791

I can't download photos from my canon 350d to my apple mac - even using i-photo (what's image capture). The card doesn't fit in the computer and I don't ave a card reader. Is there a simple solution?

Can anyone help? I'm trying to get the pictures off my canon 350d onto my i-mac (I've tried through i-photo).

Option 1: Download Canon's software. Attach the camera to the computer (USB A to mini B) and the software will ask where to download your photos.
Option 2: Buy a CF card reader. I recently purchased a PIXELFLASH card reader for $16US.

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4?

For that camera, you need at least Lightroom 5.2. The alternative would be to use the DNG converter, version 8.2 or later. Or, you can upgrade to Lightroom 5.

IPhoto (and preview) not recognising Canon 350D raw files

Hi,
I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X (specifically preview and iPhoto) won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.
The images have finder thumbnails but if I try to open them I get:
The document "xxx.cr2" could not be opened.
Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
In iPhoto I get an 'Unreadable files' alert telling me it can't read them and then lists the files.
I know that it should work fine and am stuck in terms of what I'm doing wrong.
This problem has existed since I was on 10.4.7 when I bought the computer and camera - I'm now on 10.4.9. I did download the Aperture trial to see if that helped and had the same problems. Reinstalling OS X made no difference.
Any ideas?

Imac 20" C2D Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Actually, I was getting support for my Canon Powershot S50 in 10.4.8 (at least I could open the Raw files, although Image Capture mysteriously stopped downloading them from the camera), after doing the 10.4.9 Combo update Preview announced it could not open the files. I went in and hacked this file:
"/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist"
Changed the entry for Canon S60 (which I don't have) to Canon S50. Preview will now open the files, haven't tried Image Capture yet to see if it is still broken (works fine in Panther BTW). See this discussion in MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051101035330228
It worked sort of for me (at least I can open the Raw files I already have).

IPhoto '08 won't import RAWs from Canon EOS 450D

I did install the "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1", but even so, I am not able to import RAW images from my Canon EOS 450D, only jpgs. The error message I get is:
"The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
How do I solve this? The camera is brand new. Is a firmware reflash in order? How?
Anyone else experience this?

Try using Image Capture to upload the files to the desktop and then import from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Unable to recognise Canon 350D raw images

Hi,
I've posted this in the Tiger forums and someone suggested I try here too.
I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.

Note that I've tried the Digital camera raw support download and also editing the raw.plist file (have since done an archive and install so I know I haven't damaged it).
Any ideas?

If you hadn't said that you'd reinstalled everything, then I'd be less puzzled.
Firstly - are these files straight out the camera/off the card? Or are you using some Canon software to copy or look at them first? It's not unheard of for software like DPP to modify the files slightly and make them unreadable by third-party programs.
Next - It's worth checking what versions of frameworks are installed on your system, against someone else who also has a Mac working with Aperture.
This can be done by running "System Profiler" (Applications -> Utilities; or by going to the "About This Mac" menu (first option on top left Apple menu) and then clicking on "More Info...", select the "Software" option on the left hand side, and then select "Frameworks".
Key ones to look at are:
- ProKit (3.1)
- QuickTime (7.1.3)
- QuartzCore (mine's 1.4.11, but I've not updated to 10.4.9 yet.)
also ImageIO (a part of ApplicationServices) is quite critical - but unfortunately SystemProfiler doesn't report that. But you say you've applied 10.4.9 (if you've installed either of the DigitalCameraRAW updates hopefully they were installed before updating to 10.4.9) so it should have been updated to the latest, correct version then.

Canon EOS 450d RAW files and Aperure 2.1

Hi everybody!
Can anyone tell me if Aperture 2.1 (under Leopard 10.5.6) handles RAW files of my Canon EOS 450d?
Because, from this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475, it seems that this camera is supported. Actually Aperture show me correctly only the thumbnails. In fact RAW photos become totally red and "Unsupported format" message is displayed when I try to open them.
So I can't use Aperture, my favourite program, for image editing (yes, jpeg still works... but RAW is more powerful).
Is it a problem of my iMac or it's a bug of Mac OSX?
Thank you for your kindly help guys!

Actually I've found out that this is in fact a bug with the EOS 450D 1.0.4 Firmware. It happens only when you transfer RAW's directly from your camera.
If you use a Cardreader or update your 450D firmware, everything works as it should (in aperture 2.1.2 and the latest RAW update).
Unfortunately I don't think this will fix RAW's that exist in your library, if you check the files themselves you will see that the file size is way to small to be a RAW. So hope you didn't format your SD card yet..
here's a link to the FW update: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eosdigital4/firmware.html

Advanced RAW processing which doesn't support Canon 350D RAW?? Surely not??

I am the owner of one the most popular DSLR's there is - wanted to make certain of compatability prior to purchase and found marketing material specifically naming my camera as supported (Rebel XT - same thing). Now seething owner of a $699 pretty software that is of absolutely no use to me. Tried update 1.01 with hope, only to be crushed again! Have seen some references to how to fix it oneself with administrator access but don't want to mess with it and, frankly don't think I should have to. Does anyone have a suggestion/knowledge of when the Canon 350D is supported? Feel like bringing the box back to the store and shove it down someones throat. Like buying a potato peeler which only peels oranges. Seriously ******!!
Imac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Really, you're asking for support of a low-end
consumer camera in a pro app.
Surely it would be nice to have that support as I
expect that some folks use the rebels as backup gear,
but it should hardly be a priority in this app.
However, since iphoto uses the same converter, and
since iphoto really really should support the rebels,
I'm sure we'll see support for this camera appear in
aperture one day.
That's such a total canard. OSX should be striving to support just about everything out there like ACR just about does and I consider CS2 and ACR a heck of a higher level of "pro" app then Apeture. I don't want some elitist deciding what's "pro" equipment and what people "should" be shooting with. That's why I switched to Mac in the first place. I just want it to work. I don't want some equipment snob deciding what takes "professional" pictures. It should strive to support just about every raw format.

Communication between Canon 350D software suite and OS X 10.4.3

I have recently acquired a Canon 350D SLR camera and also decided that I would upgrade to OS X 10.4.3 in order to upgrade my Iphoto to version 5.0 (only available via the bundelled Ilife05 package unfortunately).
However, now that I am on 10.4, I have found that Installation disk for Canon software (camera window, image browser etc)is no longer able to install correctly - this did not seem to be a problem when I was working with OS X 10.2.
I have advised by Canon that it could be a firewall function that could be causing the problems. Anyone out there got any ideas as to how I might get over this hurdle?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

So you are running iPhoto 5.0?
If so, do you still need the features of the canon software suite? I have used iPhoto for quite sometime with no issues. I have a canon and an Olympus.
