Canon 450D Aperture 2.1.1 issue

Hi all, i've just bought a Canon 450D and when i import the images from the camera they show up as red boxes with "Unsupported image format" on.
I've installed the Camera Raw Update 2.2 and i've updated to 10.5.5, anybody have any ideas as to what i should do?.
Thanks
Dan.

try this one ... maybe it will fix your issue ...
is it all 450D files or a random smattering ???

  • Either Aperture or Leopard doesn't support Canon 450D .CR2

    I've imported a number of images from my wife's Canon 450D (Digital Rebel XSi) and while the images shot in JPEG alone are fine, the ones shot in RAW+JPEG are replaced with the red "unsupported image format" warning. These images show fine on my wife's mini (also running the same OS version, but iPhoto '09).
    However, while the CR2 files from my 40D and CRW files from my venerable D30 display in Finder, the 450D's CR2 files are black. The JPEGs shot at the same time do display in Finder, however.
    I did try deleting the duplicate JPEG images but that made no difference, and I have no tildes in the folder name.
    So, given that Leopard does support the 450D's CR2 (wife's computer), and that the problem only exists with the camera's RAW files on my computer, I guess this means that there's something wrong with my install of the OS or Aperture. I don't really want to go down the route of converting to DNG, so other than that any suggestions?

    The functionality for your camera was added way back in +Digitical Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1+ (we're now on 2.7 so this would have been quite a while ago.)
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL61
    It would have shown up as a Software Update to the operating system itself (because the same update provides RAW support for both Aperture and iPhoto.)
    Check "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software". You should see a list of all the software updates ever installed on your computer. It's probably easier to click on the column heading "Name" which will cause it to sort the updates by name (instead of by date installed which I think might be the default.) then scroll the list to search for "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" to see if you can find any version number which is 2.1 +or later+ (2.7 is the most recent).
    If it's not installed, run Software Update to add it. If it shows that it is installed there may be a problem with your installation. You might try re-installing.
    I did notice that the minimum OS requirement show that if you're running Leopard then your OS version needs to be at least 10.5.2 or later. Is there any chance you've not kept up with patches to Leopard (which would cause Software Update to skip applying the Camera RAW update)?

  • 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.

  • RAW Compatibility with Canon 450D

    I have a Canon 450D. I believe the RAW format is not sRAW but the usual RAW (pls correct me if I am wrong). There has been a recent update (May) that is supposed to extend aperture's RAW compatibility to the 450D. However, for me, the files still show up as 'unsupported file format'. For info, the trial version of Lightroom imports these fine. Is there something I am missing or is the update not doing what it is supposed to?

    Support for the 450D was added in May 2008, not May this year.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_RAW_Compatibility_Update_21
    As far as I know, the 450D doesn't have the option of shooting in SRAW format anyway, so if your OS is up to date I don't know why you're getting that message.

  • EOS 450D - Aperture 2.1.4 | Unsupported Image Format

    Hi good people...
    There seems to be other out there with this problem but I have yet to find a resolution. I am using the following :
    Canon EOS 450D
    Aperture 2.1.4
    Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    Neither iPhoto 0'9 (8.1) or Aperture will read and display my 450D CR2 Raw files. I have reinstalled Aperture and made sure the RAW update has been applied. All Apple documentation states it should work but I can't get it to.
    Any ideas....I just want to use my new camera....!! Arrr

    The page to look at is here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The 450D is supported; I don't see that the S90 is supported yet.
    .CR2 is not a single file format; in fact the RAW data is different for _every single camera_ which means Mac OS X (and Aperture) has to do work to explicitly support it. I'm not familiar with the S90, but if it's brand new, you may be in for a bit of a wait to get RAW format support. Apple typically won't comment or give ETAs, to pre-empt the next question.

  • Canon 450D CR2 Files compatible with Photoshop Elements 7?

    I have recently bought a Canon 450D camera and have noticed that the RAW CR2 images produced are not compatible with my Photoshop CS2 version. I'm not sure about upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop since I probably wouldn't use all the features but I would probably upgrade to Elements 7. Is Elements 7 completely compatible with my Canon CR2 files and has anyone else used this combination and been impressed with the results?
    Thanks.

    The 450D came out after CS2 was obsolete so you need at least CS3 to read 450D RAW files.
    Elements 7, being the current version, would support the 450D RAW files; however, I use CS4 and LR2 with my RAW files so cannot say how good PSE is or isn't.
    The other option is to convert the RAW files to DNG with the latest free DNG Converter and then use CS2 with the DNGs.
    If you have a dual or quad-core system with at least 2GB of memory, I'd suggest using Lightroom.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Total novice - canon 450d - elements 6 and raw files.

    Please help a total novice.
    I bought photoshop elements 6 a few months ago ( I have an oldish laptop and was worried it wouldn't cope with newer software)
    I then bought a canon 450d and started to take raw photo - elements cant read my raw files.
    I can see something about plug ins but it sounds like elements 6 isnt supported or is out of date.
    please help ( turned 40 this year and ability to use tech is on the slide so please be gentle!)

    I got a fantastic answer to this question about a week ago, got the plugin, installed and it worked fine.

    Very much appreciate your taking time to send a response. As a new user I wasn't sure if anyone would bother. Allow me to add a little more to my first post. I fit in that niche between amateur and a person with clients. For over 10 years I have covered events for a non-profit agency capturing the look and feel of 20+ events per year and was given permission to purchase a few cameras over the year. My decision from the beginning was to use the Canon Rebel. Images were spot on and only once did I have an issue with one of them (after shooting outside events in 105 degree temps for 3 days).
    So, when I retired a year ago it was for me a pretty simple choice to get a Canon for myself - especially since at that time the 70D was on the cover of magazines and was very highly touted. I also did a lot of desktop publishing and photo editing which helped me realize I wanted the best sensor, sharpness, resolution and lens I could afford - the 70D. My post was actually a result of reading many online responses including your very informative replies about the 70D focusing issues. My biggest concern is that I will spend several hundred dollars and maybe, just maybe get back a camera which captures better focused images, but still not as sharp as the lower end Rebels I was using. I had hoped to purchase my first "L" lens and really get excited - not repair the most expensive camera I've bought to date.
    Thanks again and before it gets noted by someone...yes, I should have pushed this issue sooner and then at least the warranty would have covered the cost. An expensivve lesson learned. But I will have to add that at least one authorized Canon repair dealer told me they have had several folks feel like I did - that it was the photographer/me as a new user having the issue and not the camera. I now know it's my camera.
    Let me clarify that I don't own a 70D, so anything I say about it is from watching what others have said, mainly in this forum. But it is disconcerting to see so much complaint about a camera that's supposed to have an innovative focusing system. One is strongly tempted to suspect that they went overboard in trying to make the camera serve both still  photographers and videographers.
    That said, I'm not a great fan of the Rebel line, because they lack autofocus microadjustment and I have at least one otherwise excellent Canon lens that would be useless without it. (The 70D does have AFMA, a point in its favor.)
    As far as spending the $280 for the repair, I understand why it's a hard call. If I were in your shoes and were convinced that Canon understands the issue and would fix it correctly and permanently, I guess I'd go for it. If you don't think they do, but fell that you need something a cut above the Rebels, this may be a good time to buy a leftover or refurbished 7D. Even though I now have a 5D3, I still use my 7D's a fair amount and have been very happy with them. And the 7D2 has gotten such a favorable reception that's it's almost bound to make more 7D's available at a decent price.

  • Canon 5d aperture ring doesn't work

    Canon 5d  aperture ring doesn't work

    So this is a 5D II?  That's an important detail.
    In "M" (Manual) mode, the default is that the front dial controls the shutter speed, and the rear dial controls the aperture IF you throw the switch in the position which enables the rear dial.  The power switch has three positions... (1) "OFF", (2) "ON", and (3) a position with a line drawn connecting to the rear dial.  The power switch must be in the position that points to the rear dial or it wont work to control aperture.
    In P, Av, or Tv mode the rear dial will control exposure compensation (but only after you activate metering.)  Again... the switch has to be in the position that points to the rear dial.  
    This is how Canon handles the rear dial lock function and I've known 5D II shooters who hadn't realized this nuance.  On the 5D III is a bit more straight forward because the on/off switch is just an on/off switch and there's a seperate switch near the rear dial labeled "Lock" which disables the rear dial.
    Some photographers want to disable the rear dial because they feel it's too easy to accidentally bump it when setting up for a shot and get unintended exposures.

  • Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) with Tiger 10.4.11?

    Hello,
    my sister has an old *iBook 14" 512MB G4 (about 1,6 Ghz)* with Tiger (10.4.11). She now wants to buy a *Canon 450D (Rebel XSi)*. I only found on the Apple Support Sites, which Leopard-Version supports the Canon450D-RAW-Files, but not, which Tiger-Versions supports it. So I have some questions
    1. Does Tiger support the Canon 450D-RAW-Format or does she needs Leopard?
    2. If Leopard is needed, would you install Leopard on the iBook or better not?
    3. Or does she needs more RAM? Do you have an idea, how many can be installed in the iBook 14"?
    Thanks for helping!

    Mr-Orange
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. Does Tiger support the Canon 450D-RAW-Format or does she needs Leopard?
    She needs Leopard and iPhoto 08
    2. If Leopard is needed, would you install Leopard on the iBook or better not?
    Does the iBook meet the requirements? http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
    If you do install on the iBook, just remember that ot won't be anything very fast...
    3. Or does she needs more RAM? Do you have an idea, how many can be installed in the iBook 14"?
    It's impossible to know if she needs "more RAM" when we don't know how much she already has... For questions about the iBook, best to post on the iBook forum:

  • Viewing RAW images from a Canon 450D in Aperture

    I am obviously missing something.  When I try and view my RAW images from my 450D, I am just seeing a blank black screen.  Any ideas what I should do to view them properly.

    Apple's list of supported cameras is at
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    Historically Apple loses market share due to poor support for newer cameras.
    Workarounds include shooting RAW+JPEG and just using the JPEGs until Apple gets to supporting your camera or using Adobe's RAW to DNG converter. Apple canread the DNGs.

  • Canon ICC profiles and color printing issues

    I use two Canon printers -- an all-purpose MP460 and a iP4000 for photos.
    I use Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy II paper and Canon inks.
    I print with color management off in the "Print Settings" and by selecting the ICC profile from the drop down in the Aperture print window.
    Since updating to Snow Leopard, the MP460 prints images that are consistently dark using the "SP" ICC profiles.
    The iP4000 has an issue in that it prints images from Aperture with magenta cast in areas of yellow to orange tones.
    I have had prints made through online services that have come back accurate, so I am wondering . . . is this a Canon profile or driver issue? I haven't tried printing from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as of yet.
    Any suggestions?
    It is very, very frustrating since prints from these printers were fine before Snow Leopard.

    I have a Canon IP5200 and had numerous problems with Aperture printing from OS X10.6.2.
    In November Canon came out with new print drivers. With SNL 10.6.2 update and new canon drivers my prints come out pretty well using canon's ICC profiles. I use the PR3 canon ICC with Costco (Kirkland) paper and am pleased with the results. Hope that helps

  • Aperture Noise and processing issues

    So I've finally got down to processing the same Raw file of a Canon 1Ds and exporting it from Aperture as a .psd. I've taken the same raw processed in PhotoshopCS2 and saved as a .tif.
    The shot is over a creek just after a snow. Gray water and trees covered with snow. I have to say, there is such an obvious inferior difference with Aperture full of color noise, color moire, even the image definition is worse. The photosho image is soooo much better that I must be doing something wrong, but I've been preparing images for prepress now for many years. The noise in the water is unacceptable. I could not turn this image in. I will have to do some other tests, but this really surprises me.

    I saw this post in another thread as well, and trust me I am not trying to get an argument started. I only want information. I read reviews for all sorts of gear and sw, and sometimes I never see the same issues everyone else is seeing due to my experience or knowledge. So, I went to the ARS site, downloaded each set of files that was shot with the Nikon (not Canon since I don't own a Canon) and reviewed them to see if I could see the issues.
    Cat Photo
    The Capture One image seems to have the least noise. Just at first glance, it seems to be the most appealing. It is softer, but less noisy than either ACR or Aperture.
    Aperture and ACR seem to have equal noise, although the Aperture noise is different, seeming to have a bit of color (green) to it. But they seem close to me.
    the Aperture image seems harsh in that is has edge enhancement or too much sharpening.
    Football Image
    Again, the C1 image has the least noise and looks the "best" to me. There is still a great deal of noise in the black sky, but less than either of the other two.
    Once again, the Aperture image, if zoomed into the QBs head, has noise that has green color to it.
    Looking at ACR and Aperture side by side, ACR looks better to me, but it seems to be a color issue as well, so some of that might be correctable.
    Dog Image
    To be perfectly honest, I saw no real differences in these images.
    So the post said they were much worse, and from what I see, I don't see the dramatic differences that everyone is talking about. I see almost as much difference between C1 and ACR as the others.
    I am not looking to get flamed, but I would like to know what others are considering dramtic flaws so I can get a better idea of what I am not seeing. I am not saying that is not the case, only that my less expereiced eye doesn't see it.
    I am not a pro photographer, so I probably am missing something. But since there is a site that has some images we can all use for comparison, why not some objective talk about those images? It is easy to post "My images look horrible with Aperture but great with ACR" but lets use these images to point out to the lesser of us exactly what we are talking about.
    And really, lets try to avoid 300% crops to prove the point.

    I have it USB attached and Network attached. The network attached prinitng works fine but one of my home compouters is habitually attached to my coprporate VPN and so I use USB attachment. I have recently started having issues with printing from the MacBook which runs YOSEMITE as follows:
    1. Instal the printer using the driver from the above link (printer appears to be connected and online)
    2. Send print job to printer....printer makes a sound in recognition but if you watch the print queue from the Mac you see a cycle of:
    Priniting
    The printer is not connected
    The printer is offline
    This repeats every time and it does not resolve if you delete the printer and even if you reset the printer subsystem before re-installing
    Thanks for ideas ?
