Canon 5D MII raw import problems in LR3

My installation of LR3 will not import .CR2 raw files from the Canon 5D MII. My LR2 imports fine. What am I missing?

Are you importing them from a card reader, camera via cable, or from the hard drive?
If one of the first two, just try copying them to the hard drive and seeing if they'll import that way. If they do, it's a clue as to why.

Aperture and Canon 5D mark II import problem: copyright and author metadata

After importing RAW images to Aperture, I missing my name and copyright info in metadata, everything els is there; lens, focal length, shutter sped... I try several methods from camera direct, from memory card, using EOS software to HD and to Aperture. Nothing works. Did anybody have same problem?

Ah. I didn't know that.
This type of information is defined typically in IPTC, not EXIF. Aperture probably ignores those EXIF fields; in general if it gets EXIF data it doesn't understand, I think it ignores it.
As to your other comment about making this data unmodifiable -- it's not really possible to make it immutable. EXIF in general is a lot harder to modify than IPTC, but unless the file is encrypted and self-checksumming, a person with a sector editor (or an application designed to change EXIF) will get around this.
I don't think there's yet a standard way to really "protect" full-sized image files, at least for JPEG or TIFF files.

Canon 5D Mark II Import Problem

Using Canon Utility to import, appears to not recognize the camera ,but, does work with a Sony Camcorder HXR-NX30P using Windows import for Adobe CS5.5.2. USB 2 Cabling has been checked for stills..
Any ideas ?

Well it worked, I never thought of Importing the images still or video directly into the C ; drive pictures.
i still cannot understand why it worked on the Dell Precision M6600 but not the Dell Precision T5500
The Sony HXR-NX30P had no problems , it is automatically Imported by Windows.
Many thanks.

RAW import problem with 2.1.1 and d200

I just noticed this problem, so I'm assuming it's a 2.1.1 issue since this used to work fine...
The issue is that when I import RAW images into Aperture, the images do not preview in the import window. They appear as blank dashed line outlined squares and when I highlight them, they give the proper file name and size in mb, but not in pixels. They are listed as 128 x128 which I'm assuming is the preview size.
I can still import the images and they appear as they should once imported. This issue is really only a problem if i want to select a few images to import. My workaround for that is to use Image Capture since they preview fine there.

First read page 107 in the manual for the D200, and make sure everything is set correctly for direct connection.
Yes, I use a card reader, but have used direct to camera. This setting is a bit odd, and I ran across the difference this past weekend when I found my D300 set differently than my D200 has apparently always been. But since I was only connected to my iBook, and was not using Aperture at that moment, I did not see the full consequence that might result from some settings for the USB connection. All reports are that it may have a different impact on RAW than with JPEG.

Canon Powershot G2 RAW import

This camera is a bit old but if you want to import images in RAW format you can try this hack. Hopefully Apple will have official support soon.
I started with the settings for the already-supported G3. Feel free to modify the values if you've got any idea what they're for...

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 20 inch 2GHz

I tried making the edits to the plist file as suggested in this topic, and can confirm that these do allow RAW files from the Canon G2 camera to be imported into Aperture. However, I am finding that the resulting default conversion is a fair bit darker than what Adobe CS RAW plug in does. Colors are reasonably accurate, but quite a bit darker. I realize that I could make further adjustments to lighten up the shadow areas, but this will likely add more noise in the shadows than would result if the RAW conversion were to be a bit brighter up front.
Does anyone have ANY idea what all the numbers in the plist represent? And which ones could be tweeked to get a better conversion that preserves more of the shadow details?

Canon Mark 3 Raw Import

With my new MacBook Air I can't see the Raw files from my Canon Mark 3 camera. Don't see it also in my Photoshop Bridge. I have all the new updates. Does anyone have a solution?

Go into preferences, select the Presets tab. Hit "Reset all Default Develop Settings". You probably by accident set a default Develop for the 7D. Also check that you don't have a preset selected in the import dialog.

Canon Elura 85 clip import problem

My school just purchased three new Canon Elura 85 camcorders. The problem we are having is that everything imports as one clip. iMovie does not automatically seperate the pauses in recording into different clips. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a setting we need to change in iMovie or on the cameras? Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Did you happen to timecode the tape before you recorded any footage? We have a few 85's and they break the clips up.

Canon Vixia HF 200 import problem

I am using one of these at school and i can not get it to Log and Transfer a clip that is over 5 minutes long. This didn't kill the project I was doing (a DVD of the school play) because i had a DV camcorder going also, but if i shoot something over 5 minutes on this Canon i would like to be able to use it in the future.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this video to import without failing?

Canon camcorder taped video importing problem

I recently upgraded to Tiger from Panther. Before the upgrade, I was able to import video from the tape and memory card in my Canon ZR85 camcorder. Since the upgrade, I can only import from the memory card. I've done all the troubleshooting from iMovie HD help, and am wondering if I should just install the previous version of iMovie (not HD) to have the capability to import the video on tape again or if there is a workaround. Anyone?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

that would be a fine workaround....
however it's puzzling why you can't import from a DV tape at all...
you should be able to do that without a hitch...

How to view the raw files from Canon 7D MII in elements 10

I have elements 10 but it does not support my canon 7D MII raw files

The Canon 7D Mark II requires Camera Raw 8.7 which is not compatable with Photoshop Elements 10.
You have a few choices
1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13
2) Download and Install the free Adobe DNG Converter. Use the converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files which can then be used in Photoshop Elements 10
3) Use the Canon software (DPP) to convert the Cr2 files to TIF files which can then be used in Photoshop Elements 10
Note: If you are on an old operating system like XP or Vista then you need to upgrade your system.
For the DNG converter see here.

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

RAW image import (problem in iphoto and aperture)

either the problem is me (my understanding of what I am trying to do) or something has gone awry with both aperture and iphoto...
when importing RAW images (canon 40d camera) many of which are shot in monochrome and show up as such on the camera (they even show up in b/w on the preview import in iphoto and aperture) ALL images once imported to both iphoto and aperture are in full color. This was not the case on two previous imports (shots taken in b/w RAW imported as b/w RAW images) but now seems to happen every time. I have restarted computed, reimported, checked all settings and nothing is working.
I am missing something, yes? Thanks for any help.

no ... you will have to export it as a .tiff or .jpeg ...
and then import into aperture ...
although aperture does have a great monochrome tool worth checking out ...
something to consider is to shoot your monochromes in RAW+JPG and import into aperture ...
see here for working with RAW+JPG:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380111&tstart=0
when stacked you will have the B&W from in camera and the colour RAW file ... tweak the monochrome mixer until the RAW is to your liking ... you can use the B&W JPG for a baseline ...

Canon Powershot S120 Adobe Lightroom RAW converter problem

Have a MacBook running Yosemite. I am an underwater photographer so rely on using White Balance to get colour into my photos. Since upgrading Lightroom from 5.3 or 5.6 to 5.7 all my Canon S120 RAW files change colour after import and become a wishy washy green. As one moves along the filmstrip, the Histogram shows calculating and all the photos lose their colour, as if the White Balance is being removed. My previous catalogue, same camera, Lightroom 5.3 or 5.6 photos import as they look on the camera. Have discussed with Canon and they think an Adobe Codec RAW converter problem. Do you have additional Codecs for Canon S120? Canon happy to discuss problem. Their reference: 1-3374995525. Please help.

If you look at the Tint slider with As Shot WB set, you’ll see it is maxed out at 150 for all three of your sample images.
I think this means that LR’s DNG Profiles don’t have the range to entirely neutralize the WB so your images are left with the wrong WB and no way to fix it.
Adobe profiles don’t do a good job in extreme lighting situations, especially with an overabundance of blue light which underwater pictures typically have.
You can mess with the Calibration sliders a bit and get some of the colors to be more like the camera-JPGs have, but some colors will still be different.
If you have an X-Rite color-checker, that you could photograph without getting it wet, then you could make a custom camera calibration profile for that specific lighting scenario and maybe it’d work, but maybe the profiles still can’t extend beyond a certain point. I am also not sure how you’d keep the color-checker dry underwater.

Camera raw - Canon 5D MII and photoshop CS3

Hi
Just bought a Canon 5D MII, but i can not open any of my RAW files on photoshop CS3. I does not look like there is an upgrade to camera raw for this on CS3, do I have no choice then to upgrade to CS4?
Thanks for the help

As Buko says, you can use the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 5.4, but…
• it represents a further step in your workflow, as you have to convert all your raw Canon files to raw DNGs first before being able to open them in your old ACR 4.6; and
• you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table, as ACR 5.4 is light-years ahead of ACR 4.6.
The upgrade is a no-brainer.

Lightroom 5.4 Canon partial import problem (CR2s)

Hello,
I have Lightroom 5.4 on a Windows 8.1 system x64. My camera is a Canon 50D that's several years old.( i.e. not a brand new camera import problem)
When I plug my camera into my computer via the USB cable and try to import images into a Lightroom catalog, Lightroom will recognize and import jpgs, but it does not even see CR2 files. No errors, no thumbnails. It's like they are not there. If I capture a single image as both a jpg and CR2 simultaneously it will only see the jpg and not the CR2.
If I open the Canon EOS Utility it sees any and all images (CR2's included).
I've read a few posts so to help narrow it down:
1) I have write access to the folder (b/c I can import the jpgs.).
2) My Windows system does not recognize the CR2 files in an exporer window if they are still on the camera (to be specific, it sees that there are files, just not the type and no thumbnail. Not even a properties option with right click). I can't pull the files directly off the camera with my computer only with the Canon app. I have the latest camera codec pack put out by Microsoft KB2899190 from 12/9/2013.
3) Once the CR2's are on my computer via the Canon EOS app they are viewable in Expolorer (thumbnails) and can be imported into Lightroom.
4) I have cleared and reformatted the flash card (more than once). Rebooted and powered down the PC and Camera multiple times (removed camera batt. and Unplugged PC).
5) As of time of this post Lightroom is up to date.
I believe there is some communication issue with my camera and this particular PC setup. My wife's computer does not have this issue (she has Vista). When she plugs in the camera the thumbnails pop up in an explorer window for her right away.
Thoughts?
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, for many people. Recent versions of Lightroom in particular seem to be quite fickle when trying to import directly from camera, and the "fix" in virtually all cases is to use a card reader.
