Canon 40D and G9 support

Apple locked down the original 40D support thread which is not a good sign for us Aperture customers who are not able to use our $300 application.
I did find an article that talks about using Aperture with unsupported cameras and I thought it might be helpful:
http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/09/dealingwith_unsupported_rawf.html
Obviously this is not something any of us wants to deal with for long - especially since Adobe has offered support through Lightroom since September 12th, but it looks like we are going to be forced to find a work around until Apple decides to provide a solution.

Technically, discussing future features that haven't been announced by Apple is against the terms of service for the forum. That might be one reason why 'support my brand new camera' threads tend to end up getting locked.

  • Canon 40D and Geotagging (GPS)

    I've been reading posts and I still cant seem to understand how to do this. I have a Canon 40d camera and want to use a gps data logger to track where photo's were taken and then have the GPS information imported into Aperture 3.
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    Thanks... Gary

    I also own a *Canon EOS 40D* and I've investigated how to do that.
    It turns out that the regular way is to use an optional module for the camera and hook up a GPS receiver to it.
    • First, you need the *Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3A* that permits wireless transfer and back-up, as well as remote control of the camera in Live View mode.
    It can also be connected to various GPS receivers or Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external storage devices such as convenient flash drives or high-capacity hard drives with much larger storage capacity than the memory cards in the camera for instant back-up as images are captured.
    The WFT-E3A wireless transmitter also doubles as a vertical grip and requires its own BP-511A battery pack in addition to the battery installed in the camera body.
    More on this hardware by googling or searching dpreview : http://search.dpreview.com/?q=WFT-E3A
    I've found one on Amazon at $635 instead of $1200. But it's still rather expensive, unfortunately.
    • Then, of course, you need to get a USB enabled GPS receiver.
    I guess there are a great number of models available, with an equal variety in prices.
    And then, your photos will have the GPS coordinates embedded in the file.
    I hope this helps.

  • CS2, canon 40D and 3.7 updates

    I'm having trouble opening a CR2 file in bridge.
    I have a 40D
    CS2
    and have downloaded updates for camera raw 3.7.
    They are in the correct file.
    When I try to open my RAW file in photoshop CS2, this is what it says,
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the correct file type"
    can anyone help please?

    Leanne,
    I don't remember what version of ACR was the earliest one to support your camera.
    If your camera is not supported by ACR 3.7, then you must convert your raw files to DNG files first. For that purpose, you need to download and run the free Adobe DNG Converter version 5.2. It's a stand-alone application that does not need any version of Photoshop to run at all, so it doesn't have to match your version of ACR.
    ACR 3.7 is definitely the last version that will run in CS2.

  • Canon 40D and DNG 4.2

    I have just updated DNG to version 4.2 but still can't convert the RAW files from the 40D. Always end up with "There was an error parsing the file". I am using DNG converter in stand alone on Windows XP platform. Can someone please help.

    The most common problem is improperly installing ACR, for which the correct version can be seen under the 'Help=>plugins' menu. The best way to install new versions of any Adobe PS module is via 'Help=>update'. If this is of no help, then you should indicate your OS, the ACR version indicated (and how many CR plugins you see).
    hth :)

  • Imovie 11 Canon Camcorder and Camera support

    I have a Canon Legria HF M46 and a Canon Ixus 600D. Imovie 11 can not recornize any of the 2 models when i connect via USB. Iphoto 11 finds both products
    with no problem. Anybody have and idea what i am doing wrong. I can see when i search the internet that other peogle have no proglemt getting Imovie reconizing Legria M41. The Camcorder is the most importent. Of course i could by a SD card and take it out of my Camcorder and into my SD card reader of the mac (i have a mac mini) But i have bougt the M46 becourse of the internel 16gb memory and hope anybody have a suggestion.

    Hi,
    The only thing that I can see in iPhoto are the still photos. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

  • Colored bands on photos in aperture canon 40d

    Does anyone else get bands and squares of pink to magenta color on some of their photos in aperture? It only involves portions of the photos and does not affect them all.
    I use a canon 40d and shoot RAW.
    I know that other color issues have been seen with other cameras and that this resolves when you roll back to the RAW update 2.1 but surely someone in Apple knows about this?
    Interestingly I have not experienced this yet on my Macbook Pro with the 2.4 update but it comes back each time in my imac.

    I am still having this same problem
    I have tried deleting both the preferences and presets. I have reinstalled Aperture and tried switching off automatic previews with no improvement. I have changed color sync profiles.
    I have noticed that the same thing happens in iphoto 9.
    I managed to speak to someone at Apple who was quite short with me and implied there was nothing much wrong. He told me to rebuild the database, then perform a consistency check and then hung up. I did both these things and still have the problem.
    I have invested a lot of time in Aperture as well as money on plugins and don't want to change but I may have to turn to Adobe if this can't be fixed

  • No previews when importing from Canon 40D

    I apologize if this issue has been discussed before, but my search techniques dont seem to be coming up with anything useful in the forum search.
    I have recently purchased a Canon 40D and when importing directly from the camera cannot see the .cr2 previews. I only see the file names and grey squares. The import function works just fine, I just cant see previews. I have installed the Canon codec and tried the various previews settings (minimal, 1:1, etc..) but nothing seems to fix the issue.
    I have LR 2.3 installed on a Windows XP system.
    Thanks
    Michael

    Going back to a standard screen profil has ever solved the known "grey miniatures" issue, as far as I know.
    I have tons of examples on a French Lightroom forum.
    That's pretty strange that it didn't solve the issue for you...
    Let's take it the other way round:
    When a Canon camera is connected directly to a desktop via USB, because of specific drivers/protocol used by Canon, camera is not recognized as a standard mass storage.
    By the way, it is way better to use a card reader to avoid this type of issue.

  • 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 40D sRAW and DNG

    I know that Aperture 2 does not support the Canon sRAW format natively. It is, however, supported by the Adobe DNG converter. I expected that Aperture would be able to work with sRAW converted to DNG. It does not.
    I assume that the reason is that Aperture sees that it is from a 40D and tries to interpret it natively, when it is really a different format. It is unfortunate that the adjustments pane is greyed out, so I can't force it to use DNG conversion. It would be useful to be able to force DNG conversion just as you can force RAW1.1 conversion.
    Does anyone know of a workaround in DNG? I know I could just use ACR to batch convert sRAW to TIFF or JPG, but that seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

    hi all. I'm having the same issue with the 40d and sraw. I know the camera stores the images in a combined sraw/JPEG format, and I can visualize both forms in the Aperture photo browser using Pixelmator (I can even open and work with the JPEG version using Pixelmator). Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way to visualize/work with/export the JPEG version with Aperture? I have the latest versions of Aperture and OS X. Thanks.

  • Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

    I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
    I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
    What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
    Best regards,
    Kjell Are Refsvik

    I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
    I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

  • I have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

  • Help! I need a Lightroom version that both supports  a Canon 1DX and Windows XP. Hurry!

    I currently use Lightroom 2.7 on my desktop and 2.6 on my laptop.I just got a Canon 1DX, which is supported by neither. I went to donwload a trial version of Windows 4, only to discover it won't work on an XP machine.
    Hopefully, somebody has an answer in short order, as I fly out of the country in little more than 12 hours.

    You can convert the RAW files to Adobe DNG format using the free Adobe DNG converter
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5519
    You can then work on the DNG files in LR2.7.

  • Canon s95 and g12 RAW file support???

    Adobe has now updated Lightroom to include support for cr2 RAW files for the Canon S95 and G12.
    An guesses how much longer for Apple to get its act together?

    It's only a "release candidate" not a proper final release. Consider it an advanced beta. Adobe explain "release candidate" here:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-3/
    An guesses how much longer for Apple to get its act together?
    Aye - no doubt the entire Aperture team is sitting back, playing games on their iPads, drinking coffee and generally skiving...
    I know this is not the answer you want, but the simple answer is - patience. It will be here when it's here - that's the way it is.

  • Canon 40D RAW Files and Leopard???

    Hi all,
    Haven't actually bought Leopard yet (have to wait till pay day!!) but have a pretty serious question to ask.
    Has anyone tried opening the RAW files from a Canon 40D on Leopard?? Just I know that in 10.4.10 they are simply unsupported. Just in case no-one has access to a 40D at the moment, here is a link to a 40D RAW file (zipped). If someone would be so kind as to try it out and post back, I would really appreciate it!! It's killing me having to use JPG in Aperture!!!

    Yes, 40D raw files are now able to be opened by Preview.
    I just upraded to Leopard, and in addition to confirming that 40D files are now recognized by Preview, iPhoto'08 and Aperture, I noticed another interesting new feature.
    - in Leopard, you don't even need to open Preview or any other app to view RAW files.
    the new Quick Look feature in the Finder views all sorts of files right from the Finder, including 40D RAW files.
    Just tap the spacebar with any image file (or files) selected in the Finder, and up pops the Quick Look window. works for RAW or JPEG. you can switch to full screen view too. if you have more than 1 file selected you can view index sheet or slideshow, like the old right-click feature in Tiger. works in any Finder view - icon, list, browser and Cover Flow too. looks very handy.
    p.s. the Finder Get Info in Leopard now correctly displays EXIF data, including proper shutter speed and aperture (Tiger did not display aperture, and shutter speed was awkwardly displayed in decimal, not a common fraction)
