Canon 350D (Rebal XT) using Canon RAW software

Hi,
Has anyone with a MacBook used the Canon software for their 350D (Rebal XT) when using RAW images. i.e. :
"Digital Photo Professional"
"Digital Photo Professional Batch"
"EOS Utility"
"EOS Capture"
"ImageBrowser"
"PhotoStitch"
I mailed Canon and they said:
"As of yet, we don't have any information regarding the compatibility of products running on an Intel Mac with OS X v10.4.6"
Tried using iPhoto but it has done a few odd things.

Hi,
Been playing with Aperture, not tried Lightroom yet. But found it just runs too slow on the Mac I tried it on (PowerBook 17" 1.67) at least the Canon software I can batch convert RAW into 16bit TIFF for PhotoShop which is what I'm doing now (want to get the MacBook)
What IPoto is doing is this:
I tend to drag an image from iPhoto straight into PhotoShop in the dock and it will do this fine if the image is "landscape" it send to PhotoShop the RAW version.
If the image is portrait (my canon has an auto rotate feature in the camera which iPhoto can read and rotates on intial import) then it send it to PhotoShop as a jpeg, so no RAW features.
The work around is to export any portait images to desktop then drag into photoshop.
Not a big deal but when you have shot 200-300 images its a pain

  • Is there a download for lightroom2.7 that will allow it to use camera raw for a Canon T3i raw files?

    Thank you for the imput.  I don't know what you mean when you say LR doesn't use Adoble Camera Raw.  My LR2.7 is able to process raw files from my 20D.  I don't care if it does it with ACR or some other processing software.  The issue is whether whatever software is used by LR can be updated to deal with new camera raw files.  It is pretty annoying if it cannot be.  I would even pay a reasonable amount if that were necessary.
    ACR is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements which enables users to work on raw images from supported cameras. All of that technology that is in that plug-in is part of the Lightroom program, the plug-in is not used by Lightroom. ACR must be updated approximately 4 times each year in order to add support for new cameras and to make other changes in the plug-in. In order to get those changes in Lightroom, it is necessary to upgrade the entire Lightroom program. Interim releases are made available to Lightroom users who have purchased the program. For instance, if you purchased Lightroom 2, then versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. are all available to you at no cost. But when Lightroom 3.0 is released or 4.0 is released, then it is necessary for you to purchase an upgrade in order to continue to get the updates.

  • When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

    I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
    1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
    2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
    3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
    4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do  with either Finder or Preview.
    5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

  • Lower quality when opening canon raw w/ aperture instead of canon software

    hi,
    i just shoot a two days performance with a canon 5d, raw files and imported successfully all images into aperture. at first everything looks good but if i use the canon digital photo professional software that came with the camera i get better saturation, contrast, and detailed images. the difference is very visible if i use photoshop (which i always do).
    why is aperture not having a similar quality images when opening canon raw files?
    is there anything i can do to make my workflow easy. i feel now that i have to use aperture only to select the best images. when i got my selection, i reopen the selected raw files (from the memory cards) using canon software, and then transfer all converted raw's to photoshop.
    any ideas to make my workflow lighter without compromising quality?
    Thanks

    ejamas,
    A few things to keep in mind -
    *DPP vs. Aperture: Image previews when images are not at 100% -> DPP will appear much sharper/crisper then they actually are. You need to view at 100% to see the image accurately. Aperture will appear softer than they actually are (especially in comparison to DPP). Again, you need to view at 100% to get an accurate sense of how the image will look.
    *As others have said. If you've customized the settings in your 5D then DPP will honor those. Aperture will not. That's the case with any third-party raw convertor.
    *Images in a third-party convertor (Aperture, ACR, C1, Lightroom, etc.) will never match the OEM convertor (DPP, Nikon Capture, etc.) exactly. They use different color engines.
    *Your findings to not mesh with my experience per se. I shoot with 1Ds M 2's and have found Aperture, in general, to be the way to go. The color is excellent, the tonal range far exceeds that of DPP and the controls in Aperture have far more finesse than anything in DPP. It's not as crash prone as DPP and if Aperture does crash you don't loose your work from that session (in DPP you loose anything done since your last save). Like any raw convertor you need to learn it inside and out before you draw any conclusions about it.
    *I assume you are working on a color calibrated monitor and have all your color management ducks in a row?.....

  • Help for using camera raw in PSE 8/Bridge for Mac for the Canon 7D

    Recently purchasing the Canon 7D, taking a few test photos in Raw, then trying to use Camera Raw in PSE8/Bridge for Mac is a problem.  I cannot figure it out.  Can anyone help this frustrated, novice computer user?

    You need to update the camera raw plug-in for bridge and PSE 8 separately (they use two different copies). In Bridge, just go to Help>Updates which will install, I think, ACR 5.7, which  works with your camera. (You can't update bridge beyond that version).
    For PSE 8, go here, download the latest version and follow the instructions in the readme file.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    Note that the directions may tell you that you can overwrite the old plug-in. That isn't true--you must remove it before putting the new one in there.

  • Can't open canon raw files in cs4

    I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
    I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
    I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
    I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
    I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
    Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

    Hi John,
    Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
    I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
    I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.

    Doug

  • Canon raw CR2 files are 1.33 underexposed in LR3. Why?

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to lightroom and have mainly used it for some workflow with JPG files.
    I'm trying to do some work with CR2 raw files from my 30D and the RAW files appear approx 1.33 stops underexposed in Lightroom 3.6.
    I have compared with the camera jpg in LR3.6, the camera jpg and CR2 in canon DPP software / Breeze Browser Pro / Picasa.
    I can't understand it. No presets. everything I can see is off.
    In Develop > Set default settings ...I see it recognises that it is a canon 30D
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I take your point... it has been good working through things.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you what the original settings were as I deleted the files and re imported. Maybe I just clicked on something I shouldn't have! as the import was better.
    But after investigation I think it may have been auto tone appplied. I found out how to remove it from import and later applied auto tone to some images and where the exposure should have been increased by ~ +.33 LR was in fact reducing Exposure AND reducing the Brightness setting too. So it was double wammy!
    There is no real EXPOSURE difference between the picture styles in LR once the exposure is right for one.
    I took the shots in RAW+jpg, Portrait picture style with saturation +1 (under studio lights with camera calibrated with an expodisc, and the light is also metered).
    This gives me a good starting point from which I wanted to use LR to vignette, add some cool effects to multiple images and create some printing packages. For School Photos.
    The LR match to DPP (Portrait > Saturation +1) appears to be roughly: Reset > Exposure + 0.33 > Saturation +10 > Process 2010 > Profile:Camera Portrait.
    The image doesn't jump out quite as much but the sharpening is better than DPP.
    I am finding you can do a lot more with LR than DPP but it's not always intuitive and the historgram is not as much help as the rgb output histogram on DPP which helps me get my print exposure spot on 99% of the time with ease and clinical precision - in LR its more by eye unless I'm missing something? If you use DPP you'll know what I mean
    Thanks ssprengel!
    OH... I re read your post camera portrait vs camera standard = no exposure difference BUT ADOBE STANDARD IS LOWER EXPOSURE and camera faithful / camera neutral is lower still.
    And I think I noticed my original imports had both auto tone and adobe standard profile so that would make it about 1.33 exposure difference from DPP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awful canon raw conversion for photos with dramatic (i.e. underwater) non-standard white balance

    I'm shooting underwater (and white balancing as I shoot using a white disc) with a canon s90, and have noticed that the raw conversions done by aperture are way worse than those from jpegs when I shoot in raw+jpeg and those done by raw processing using the canon digital photo professional software. In particular, reds are pretty much lost. It may be a false lead, but I notice that in aperture, the rgb histogram shows a dramatic spike of the red channel on the far right (possibly clipping?) that doesn't show up in the rgb histogram in the canon software.
    I'm not sure whether this is related to the plethora of threads about canon raw processing and overly green output. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? I could batch convert to tiff in the canon software but I'd really rather not do that... For one thing the 16bit tiff files are so much bigger than the raws and it is an annoying extra step. Also, note that I can't just batch fix the white balance because (a) I'm having a hard time getting aperture to do it properly (possibly b/c the red channel is clipped as far as the aperture UI is concerned?) and (b) The white-balance changes from picture to picture as I change depth, which is the whole reason I white-balance as I'm shooting in the first place..
    I've attached two versions of a picture, one of which I processed the raw in aperture and one of which I processed the raw (and converted to TIFF to give to aperture) in the canon software. I then exported both as small jpegs from aperture.
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (correct):
    Aperture RAW processing (very wrong):

    >Is MS Picture Viewer a colour managed application? I don't know, but don't think so. Lightroom is however which might be the cause of your problems.
    Not in XP. In vista it is color managed. From the sound of it, the problem is a bad monitor profile but you might also have a corrupt Lightroom database. You need to recalibrate the monitor and NEVER use canned profiles from the monitor manufacturer. They are almost always corrupt. As a very last resort, you can use sRGB as the monitor profile (delete any profile found in the windows display properties) but only to hold you over until you can really calibrate it. The other problems with weird errors are pretty worrisome though. Do you also get them when you start a fresh catalog?

  • Display a Canon raw file as shot in Aperture?

    I believe a number of settings are saved along with the image in a Canon raw file, such as. White Balance, colour space, Saturation, Contrast, sharpness and picture style as well as a few more things. Is it possible for Apreture to display the image with these "as shot" settings? A previous piece of software I used to use on a PC called Breezebrowser displayed the image prior to import (conversion) with these as shot settings but allowed you to alter these if required. If this could be done then I would find it a good starting point before post production adjustments are made. Hope this makes sense.

    The short answer is no you cannot - yet. The best way to accomplish this is to create a series of preset templates that you can lift from prototype images and stamp to your imported images as a set of baseline adjustments. If you like the way that the in-camera settings are rendered just shoot RAW+JPG for each of the settings and then match the RAW to the JPG for each different setting for your starting points.
    I am not real familiar with Canon stuff but if the WB is rendered a little differently that is the biggest pain in Aperture because it is one of the only adjustments that are not relative, it's absolute - so unlike brightness, contrast etc. you can't bump it up a little or down a little with a preset you can only assign an absolute value.
    Hope this was at all helpful.

  • New User: LR imports all Canon RAW's and jpgs Red / Pink

    I'm not a guru or professional - I shoot alot with an XTi / 400 with various lenses - been successful using Canon's software. Downloaded LR and imported Canon RAW's and they're all red / pink - entirely red / pink. I have spent 3 to 4 hours reading forums / searching for answers and cannot find anyone else with this problem. I then tried importing jpgs from a Sony - they're also red / pink - very frustrating. Leads me to believe perhaps I have a driver / card issue on my computer.
    I'm running a 2.8 P4 with HT, 1 gig RAM, video I think is an older nvidia 9600 (not sure I'm not at my computer this moment). Anyway, anybody with any tips on what to do? I have been through every menu item repeatedly looking for some kind of clue - heretofore the answer eludes me.
    Appreciate any help / hints!

    My usual suggestion it to start out by adjusting your monitor by eye using Norman Koren's calibration charts, after eliminating any monitor profile in the OS.

  • HELP! Cannot open Canon RAW (CR2) file in PP5.5.2 (Mac)

    Hi folks.
    I cannot import RAW (CR2) files (Canon 5D2) files into premiere pro 5.5.2!
    I can get them into After Effects (through cameraraw) but PP does not even show them as a "supported file type"
    If I drag and drop from the finder I get "unsupported file type" error
    My understanding is that CR2 files are supported in CS5.5
    Any ideas
    MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
    For the rest, everything seems to be "normal"
    Thanks in Advance
    Tom

    To use Camera RAW, you will need to process the files through a Camera RAW converter. With the proper ACR module, PS, and Lightroom will handle that processing, as will the Canon utility. With Adobe ACR, make sure to update to a version that handles YOUR camera's RAW files - mfgrs. tweak those model to model, so keeping the ACR module current will insure that you can handle the particular Camera RAW files properly.
    I agree with Stephen's rec. to NOT use JPEG, if ultimate quality is of a concern. In PS, I just process my Nikon, Panny or Canon Camera RAW files to PSD. I would assume that the Canon utility would have the option for TIFF, as my older one does - there is no option for PSD in it. Do not know about the newer Canon Camer RAW processing, but TIFF should be just fine.
    Good luck,

  • Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

    i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

  • Lost support for CR2 (Canon RAW) in After Effects following AdobeCameraRAW 8.4.0.199 update

    Has Adobe dropped Canon RAW support in After Effects?
    I do timelapses.  I grade in Lightroom, create xmps, then drag the folder containing the CR2s and xmps from the Finder window into After Effects to create the sequence.
    I was post-processing timelapses in After Effects on April 7th, 2014.  I then receive an update notification for Camera Raw 8.4.0.199.  I closed all open apps and updated.  Once the update had finished, I reopened the same project in After Effects, to find that After Effects no longer supports CR2 (Canon RAW).
    Can't work with old projects containing CR2, likewise can't import new folders from the Finder window by clicking and dragging, or otherwise.   Can't even import a single still CR2 file into After Effects since updating.
    Error ( 39 :: 7 )
    iMac 10.1 (maxed out)
    MBP Retina 10.1 (maxed out)
    CS6 Production Premium
    Lightroom 5
    Same results on both computers since updating.

    Thanks Rick,
    Though this workflow may be valid from this point on, I unfortunately have a library of around 11 TB of CR2 images that I use on a regular basis in After Effects.  Going back and converting these images to DNG or JPEG would equate to an immesurable amount of time lost, not to mention the massive amount of additional hard drive space that would be required.
    I've used this workflow on an almost daily basis for two and half years.  I've only experienced a similar problem when Lightroom upgraded to version 5.  AdobeCameraRaw was buggy when linking to other Adobe apps, but the problem was soon taken care of by Adobe.
    Adobe still advertises CR2 support for After Effects 11 on their website.  It worked without a hitch until the recent update.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems?
    Where can I find the install page for legacy versions of AdobeCameraRaw?

  • Error when opening Canon Raw images.....Photoshop CC2014

    Hi,
    tried already in the german forums without answer, so will try it her
    System:
    macbook pro 2012, Core i7
    16GB Ram
    after upgradinf to 10.10. full and the upgrades for Photoshop i have the following problem,
    this occured 4 times now.
    When double clicking a Canon Raw Image (.cr2 file) Camera Raw 8.6 opens.
    Now i can adjust the pic - and/or can open it into Photoshop
    worked fine so far....but not always since the update
    If i do so, sometime the pic will be opened like this
    is here a photoshop pro aware of this error?
    So far i did NOT reinstall Photoshop.
    Its the only application i use (and PTGui sometimes)
    happens since the last updates
    The only thing i did is: also using (at this time only installed) Lighroom. Have to look how it works first
    Ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks
    Frank

    I have made a few more observations.
    I can actually open Camera Raw if I click the "Open in Camera Raw..." icon i Bridge.
    In Camera Raw I can save files as .psd for example, and also open them in Photoshop. I still get the error when I try to open Camera Raw settings.
