Canon 40D Profile?

I have downloaded and installed Camera Raw 5.2 so now my ACR has been upgraded on CS4, to ACR 5.2.
My problem is the camera profiles. When I click Camera Calibration, I see
ACR 4.4
ACR 4.2
Adobe Standard
Adobe Standard Beta 1
Camera Faithful
Camera Faithful Beta 1
Camera Landscape
Camera Landscape Beta 1
Camera Neutral
Camera Neutral Beat 1
Camera Portrait
Camera Portrait Beta 1
Camera Standard
Camera Standard Beta 1
I firstly wonder about getting rid of the "Beta" profiles and secondly, wondered if I should see something pertaining to my Canon 40D?

Bob,
You don't have a
problem at all. :)
First,
everything
you see on that list pertains exclusively to the specific camera model that generated the raw file you are opening at any given moment.
Second, yes, you can delete the old beta profiles. If you're on a Mac, you'll find them in:
ROOT LEVEL (nameOfYourHardDisk)/ Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ CameraRaw/ Camera Profiles/ .
Windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles"

Canon 40D profile shows as "Camera RGB" instead of "sRGB"

When I open 40D files in Photoshop CS3, I get a profile warning that says "Camera RGB"
Is this normal? I don't recall getting this warning before and I have the 40D set to use sRGB and photoshop working space set to "working space - sRGB IEC1966-2.1"
Thanks for any input on this

This is set in ACR workflow options (the blue link below the main image window).
The camera setting is irrelevant, that only applies to in-camera processed jpegs. A raw file has no color space until it's opened into one in the raw converter.
Stay with sRGB until you know why you want a bigger color space. It has advantages, but also carries risks that can bite you if you don't know what you're doing.

Accurate colour profile for Canon 40D?

Hi all,
I have an Canon 40D but unfortunately my colour checker is not compatible with the new DNG Profile Editor (it's a PerfectPix Natural).
Has anyone here made a profile for the 40D using the Gretag colour checker that they'd be happy to share with me? I realise that your 40D may not replicate colours in exactly the same way as my camera, however it's got to be closer than any of my other profile options at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
James
PS... I hope this request isn't inappopriate, the user to user forum for Camera Raw seemed like the best place.

Hi David/Eric,
I understand what you mean about the contrast, however I am comfortable that my images are exposed correctly on the whole. I guess it's just very hard to quantify, and very hard to prove, where my images are not "right" colour wise.
I also realise that white balance plays a major role in this type of subjective comparison... The issue I'm finding is that when I am flicking between profiles for an image there are times I just can't find anything that's right.
Maybe the biggest issue, at least in part, is perception. When analyzing an example image I've seen the following behaviour for each profile:
- Camera Standard is probably best, but while on this example it's okay, in some images it's over-saturated.
- Adobe Standard is close, probably slightly too green.
- ACR 4.4 is up there too, best in some cases but can have issues with skin tones.
- Camera Faithful is next on the list but tends to look flat and lifeless (even though no change other than profile).
- Camera Portrait makes faces too pink and skies too blue. In general it seems to over-saturate.
- Camera Landscape makes faces look pretty good, but skies and landscapes are WAY over saturated.
- Camera Neutral looks relatively good colour wise but has no contrast and looks under saturated.
The problem is, in this one example they've behaved in a certain way. In another example (even one where I've manually white balanced) they'll behave differently... suddenly Camera Standard will look terrible and ACR4.4 will look the best... or Adobe Standard.
I guess the issue is I'm just not confident that LR is reproducing the colours that the camera saw... but only because I don't think the profile is right. Once I know that the profile is right (and whether I'm being silly or not, I would be satisfied that Joe Blog's 40D is going to be almost identical to my 40D) then I'll know that the faces look a little red because I've got my white balance wrong. Right now there are three that are "close" to what I saw, but I'm not confident that any of them are spot on.
I hope this makes sense. I'm not attempting to be difficult, to be honest I figured that the creation of the Profile Editor would lead to a proliferation of downloadable camera profiles that were supposedly "colourmetrically accurate" for each camera... maybe I'm just a little quick on the bandwagon.
Cheers,
James
PS. I realise that colour gamut of the monitor plays into this also, but I am assuming that if I can SEE that the colours are too saturated then I'm not exceeding the gamut... I guess it's possible that my "washed out" profile Camera Faithful is exceeding the gamut and subsequently doesn't look very good?

When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files?

When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files? I have a new camera and would love to use the raw files in iphoto. No luck so far. Aperature seems to lack the abilty to open them also. Anyone here as to when iphoto will be updated?

Hi again.
No, I don't use aperture, I tried the demo and liked it, but I'd previously bought the commercial version of Pixmantec RawShooter converter for my 10D - Pixmantec were 'bought out' by Adobe, and Adobe generously offered all RawShooter purchasers a free licence for Lightroom, which I also like a lot (though haven't fully got to grips with), so can't currently justify Aperture too.
The one thing I'd say about Aperture is that the colour management for some reason just nailed the colours when printing using canned profiles, in a way other apps hadn't on Windows (including QImage). I was particularly impressed by this using an old Epson 1290S A3+ printer which always tended to produce prints with a colour cast.
iPhoto seems to handle RAW conversions very well and simply, although it's not as refined as the high end apps. This together with organising features are probably what make you find it so easy. Remember though that when you display/tweak RAW files, iPhoto will be creating a file to store these changes as the RAWs do not get directly manipulated. As all this is done behind the scenes again this probably makes it seem easy.
If you don't have Aperture or Lightroom, both were available for 30 day demo last time I checked.

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.

Posterisation in shadow areas using Canon beta profiles

Using LR2 to import a Canon 40D DNG created by DxO 5.2.1 . I see some problems with using the new camera beta profiles, the shadow areas comes out with significant posterisation. No problem if I pick the ACR4.3 / 4.4 ,the Adobe standard beta or profiles created by myself using the DNG Profile editor.
EDIT: The behavior is the same for the sample picture if I try the CR2 directly in LR2.
BR/ Stefan

that was essentially the workaround I found by myself:
push Blacks to zero, then manage the low lights with the Tone Curve
panel of the Develop module...
but that's a workaround, Blacks slider should work correctly with every profile, right?
I shared a shot of mine with the users of our Italian forum, some people see the posterization, while others have no problems at all.
We cannot understand what is wrong and where, and we are really puzzled: what is the origin of that issue?
A carefull analysis of the problem lead me to this conclusion:
1) Capture NX doesn't show any posterization, so the problem is linked to LR2, and also PS3, that is Adobe Camera Raw
2) it happens only with the Camera profiles beta1/2
3) only some people see this effect, so also the hardware (likely the video card) must be involved
then -> ACR + camera profiles beta + video card(?)
there must be something in this chain that causes a corruption of the data

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIE

In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

Cannot open SRaw files from my Canon 40D can open Large Raw files

Hello,
I use Windows XP. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I use Canon 40D. I have run updates in Photoshop and all is updated (I have ACR 4.2). Camera raw only appears once when I look at About Plug-In. I am not able to open the small raw files, but I am able to open the large ones with Camera Raw in Photoshop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help?
Thanks! Linda

Jeff,
I also put a level of responsibility on Canon
"Please be sure to place _ALL_ of the responsibility on Canon...it's THIER firmware. "
FWIW, I did lace into Canon Tech support today about two major pieces, first the lack of any information regarding the update. Spoke to a supervisor. He claimed that being only out there a week was not enough time for them to get informed. I reminded him that he should probably add another week to that allowing build time to get the cameras loaded with the new FW and out to distributors, and that 2 weeks was more than enough time for them to hear something. With regard to the "responsibility of the RAW software company to be code to new cameras" I reminded him Adobe already had and it was working fine with the 40D and that their "point release" which no one seems to be able to find (except on the cameras) broke what was working. The Saga sadly continues...

I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

Hi, I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
'Camera Profile' I only see 'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
Best
JL-B
Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

Are you following this
Apply a camera profile
To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
Note: If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update.

Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2. You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera?

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.

Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

RAW import from Canon 40D to Elements 4.0

I have a Canon 40D camera, and still use PE 4.0. I am unable to import my raw files - help! I have downloaded and installed the camera raw 3.7 plug-in. What am I missing? Any advice welcome. Many thanks...

If no-one else comes up with an answer have a look at my thread under the RAW Issues forum
m. It may or may not be of help. It's entitled "Opening Raw Files saved as DNG"
The title might not seem to relate to your question but I think you may be suffering from the same problem I had . If not I'm sure some kind soul will come to your aid.
If nothing else it may pay you to post your thread under the Raw Issues forum rather than let it get lost where it is.
Good luck, James

Camera Raw 4.4.1 still unable to preview Canon 40D CR2 files

Even after installing Camera Raw 4.4.1 plugin update as per installation instructions and purging central Cache...I am still unable to preview Canon 40D Raw (CR2) or Digital Negative (DNG) files on CS3 Bridge or Photoshop.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Jeff..thanks for your helpful feedback. OS used is Vista. After recieving your suggestion I confirmed that I saved the plug-in to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats - and then rebooted the system. This seemed to resolve the problem and i can now preview raw file.
Jeff, thanks again. Cheers, Doug

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.
