Canon 5D MKII and ACR

ACR doesn't show 5D MKII thumbnail images and won't go to just ACR without opening PS. My 1DS MKIII shows the image and does not have to open PS. Can you tell me if this will change for the 5D? OS Windows tried on 2 computers.
Thanks

What version of Photoshop? What version of the ACR plug-in?
Have you Purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each offending folder?

Canon 7D firmware and ACR in CS5

Hi all.
Before I embark on the (irreversible) upgrade to firmware 2.0 on my Canon 7D, could somebody confirm that my CR2 raw files will still be readable in PhotoShop/Bridge CS5 (i.e. with ACR 6.X)? I haven’t seen any moaning, which sort of implies that they will be, but I’d rather be sure.
Ta

I have just received confirmation from a friend with a 7D that he's both applied the 2.0 firmware upgrade successfully and has had no problems opening his raw files with LightRoom 4.1 or Photoshop CS5/ACR 6.7 (he hasn't moved up to Photoshop CS6 yet).

How can I import Canon .CR2 raw files gererated by the new Canon 5D MkIII?

Just got the new Canon 5D MkIII and none of the Adobe products can recognize the raw files (called .CR2) it generates.
I'd be happy just converting them to .DNG but converters won't recognize them either.
Anyone know a solution for me?
Thanks.

As of today, the raw converter still doesn't work with MkIII files, (v 6.6.0.261).
The Release Candidate 6.7 converter does work with the 5D Mk III and as stated LR 4.1 RC also works:

Canon 5D MkII not detecting in iMovie and Photo Booth

Background:
Until a few weeks ago we were using a Panasonic N28 Camcorder to take photos via Photo Booth and record videos via Image Capture. We had it connected using Firewire and maybe we also had USB too and it was able to shoot videos via iMovie'11 too. We now replaced this model with a Canon 5D MkII.
Issue:
Our Canon 5D MkII replaced our camcorder and it's connected via usb to our MAC running Mountain Lion and iMovie'11 with the latest update, yet it is not recognised by iMovie & Photobooth. It it unable to be selected and used instead of the iSight camera. It works fine in Image Capture so there is no hardware issues with the Canon 5D MkII. I can import recorded movies into iMovie'11 also.
What is the issue? Is there anything I need to download from Apple? Can my Canon 5D MkII be used in place of my Apple iSight camera?
Please help if you can.

I guess that may be a valid point, the Panasonic N28 Camcorder was of relatively low grade certainly not HD.
So if I want a better camera to use in place of the isight camera, am I best off going with a webcam?
My Panasonic was had a screw mount so I put a very wide lense on it. i also was able to vary the depth of field and achieve really good results. This is why I wanted the 5D to be used, and need an alternative.

I have PS elements 10 and just got a new canon 5d mkiii.

I have PS elements 10 and just got a new canon 5d mkiii. I can't get my files to open in camera raw. I checked my plug in and i have version 6.5. I did the camera raw update and downloaded the dng software.I also downloaded the adobe app manager. I am not sure where to go from here. Do I have to upgrade to ps 12 or is there a way to make this work?

Hi,
You need Camera Raw 6.7 for the 5D Mk III
If going to Help -> Updates doesn't work, try a manual update.
Win: Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
Mac: Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
Good luck

ARC support for new cameras such as Canon D5 MkII

Is it true that raw images from cameras introduced after CS4 such as the Canon D5 MkII will only be supported with CS4 and not with ARC in CS3?
This is hard to believe.
Bob

Yes
Upgrade or die.... or at least use the latest DNG converter and edit the
DNG files with what ever ACR you have.
For me I have CR4 but I convert to DNG anyway as they are smaller than
my camera raw files and there is no "side car" files needed to hold the
conversion data. This is important to me as I store my images on a
network attached drive, and I would need to move 2 files not just 1 and
if the "side car" file is lost then all the changes to the RAW file is
lost and must be re-created.
All this and no loss of data.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - Canon EOS5D Mkiii - RAW images

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9 installed on my iMac, operating system Version 10.9.4. I have upgraded my Canon EOS 5d Mki to a Mkiii and downloaded Adobe's Plug-in 6.5 update but I am unable to open RAW images from the Mkiii in Elements. They do open in Canon's software.Adobe offer no telephone support for this. Any ideas please?

You need camera raw 6.7 & PSE10 for the 5d mkiii. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store. This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII. This will be a VERY popular camera.
More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software". When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII. I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
So after my little rant.
Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester. I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing. I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
Kind Regards
Tom Croll

Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product. Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released. I have been in the software development game for 35 years
But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc. As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into. I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models. I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable. Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files. But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support. Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models. Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe. In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management. I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.

Need to see raw thumbnails for Canon 5D MkIII

Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I want to stay with this version of the OS!!
All cameras up until the new Canon 5D MkIII were showing thumbnails images of RAW photos in the FINDER.
Now there is generic icon and no thumbnail. I need to use the finder for sorting and previewing RAW images.
Is this a ploy to force upgrading to the buggy later version of the OS?
I like 10.6.8 better and want it to work as advertised for more that 24 months. How hard can it be to support RAW images when new cameras are released?
Is there another path (iPhoto?) that runs on Sonw Leopard and supports RAW from recent cameras?
Thanks,

I appreciate replys but please carefully read the original posting.
I upgraded to a new camera - Canon 5D MKIII - which is when I lost thumbnails in the FINDER.
I upgraded to Mt. Lion and don't like it. Like I said, I want to find a solution using Snow Leopard. the Mac is a personal computer and that's how I want to use it.
I have Photoshop CS6 which is how I have to review my images now. This is much slower than FINDER thumbnails.
So again: is there a way to have thumbnails show in Snow Leopard/FINDER for Canon 5D MKIII raw images?

Canon connect canon 5d mkII to imac with Canon EOS Utility

After many years of using a PC, I finally took the plunge and purchased a Imac only to find I cannot connect my Canon 5D MkII SLR camera, it just says "No camera found". Looking on Google I see othe rpeople have had problems. Anybody know of any solutions?

The 5D Mk II ON/Off switch has two On settings. Set it to the first one (in the middle between off and fully on) and it will connect

CS4 (v11.0.2) won't recognise RAW files from my Canon 5D MKII camera

Hi Folks. I'm running a MAC Pro (2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine with 8GB;s of RAM (DDR2 FB-DIMM)
Up till last week, I was running this machine on Leopard, but last week, I started a new drive. Installed Snow Leopard on it and did a clean install with all my programs, but I did migrate over the Users folder. Other than that, programs have been individually reinstalled. I've been very impressed with photoshop CS4 on snow leopard, via a Macbook pro, so I knew that this was worth pursuing for improved speed and performance.
I bought the Snoe Leopard upgrade disc from MAC and did the install. I've been using my CS4 on the Leopard program that used to run this machine and it worked flawlessly, however now under Snow Leopard I am getting a message that tells me that Photoshop doesn't understand the camera files now. This didn't happen before except when the Canon 5D MKII first came out and you guys made a patch for it. My machine is behaving like that again now, despite the fact that I'm running 11.0.2 on photoshop CS4 Do you have any suggestions anyone?...
Aloha
Sean
P.S. Other than this current inconvenience, the program runs very fast now....

In Photoshop, go to the menu Photoshop>About Plug-ins>Camera Raw... What version does it say you have? You need version 5.2 or later for support for the 5D MkII.
You can download it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4680

Have Canon 7d MK2 and Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot open my RAW FILES

I have a CANON 7D MK2 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and I cant open my RAW files

The 7D Mark II requires ACR plug-in 8.7 which came out after PSE13 was the current version so you can upgrade or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2s and those DNGs will work with the older ACR plug-in versions.

I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

If you don't use the DNG Converter to create DNGs from your raw files, then you'll need to purchase LR 5 to us LR with your camera that is newer than LR4; however, there is something you can do for PSE11:
ACR 8.3 will work with PSE11 to open 70D files, but there is no installer, so you have to be a little devious to get things to all work. You also need to be on a Windows 7 or 8 since ACR 8.3 supposedly doesn't work on Vista. I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE11 by doing the following:
Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928. Note that this is the folder without x64 in the path. PSE11 is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.
Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003. This is the largest file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE11 camera raw plug-in folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats
Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi_7 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE11 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

Tethering Canon 5D MkIII w/10.8

I'm curious to know if anyone has managed to tether their Canon 5D MkIII to a computer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion? The latest version of Aperture claims to support this but I'd rather not buy the software before I know it works. Apple also no longer offers a trial version of Aperture. For the record, at this date no other software supports this such as EOS Utility, Lightroom, Capture One, or DSLR Assistant.

That is why I use the 5D3, it takes both CF and SD cards. When using the eyefi card I save RAW to the CF card and the lowest res jpeg to the SD (eyefi) card. With the 5D3 the RAW files can be 27-30MB in size while the jpeg are aroung 750KB. Wireless transfer of the RAW files is therefore much slower with the eyefi card.
With the eyefi card you set up which networks it will attach to. You can setup private networks, Direct mode and what to do with Public Hotspots.
I have it set to work on my home network of course and also on an ad-hoc network. I use a Macbook air and when away or on location I setup the macbook to create an ad-hoc network called "stevesmacbook" or similar and I have already set the eyefi card up to "Attach' to this network when it doesn't find my home network.I think this is using the direct mode.
You also need to specify on the eyefi card where it will save/ send the files to. I have a portable 500GB hard drive that plugs into the Macbook and on that I have a folder called "Today" and this is the folder I specify on the eyefi card. I got caught out a couple of times by creating a new folder on the HDD to save the current photos to and set this folder up as the monitored folder for aperture etc and then couldn't work out why the photos were not showing until I remembered that the eyefi card was sending them to a different folder!
I use Aperture Hot Folder to also monitor that folder and when I run Aperture I set up a new project that uses the same folder.
As I shoot I get a full RAW file saved to the CF card and the S3 jpeg to the SD eyefi card that then automatically sends it wirelessly to the "Today" folder on the HDD connected to the Macbook Air. Aperture Hot Folder sees that a new photo has appeared and shows it in Aperture.The first file when you start up, or after you have had a break for a while, is slow to appear but then the subsequent photos pop up pretty quickly. I guess you would have to test for yourself to see if it is fast enough for your requirements. It probably would be OK for my school shoots but, they are usually pretty hectic so I just didn't want to add the extra "thing" to think about at this stage. When shooting portraits in my "Studio" ( some may call it a double garage) I use the eyefi system all the time - With the macbook air connected to an appleTV showing the photos on a 55inch LCD TV!
Once setup, and it isn't as complicated as it probably sounds, it all works automatically and easily.
As I shoot I watch the photos ( or an assistant does for schools) and picks the "Keepers" by giving them a 1 star rating in Aperture and we also put the persons name in the Title field of the metadata for the choosen photos.
When the shoot is finished I open aperture and look at the jpeg files and filter to only show the "Keepers" I then plug the CF card into a card reader on the mac and import them using the "Matching RAW" option and the "current filter" option. Aperture then imports only the RAW files that match the Keeper photos and the RAW files have the metadata matched. I then select to view the Raw files and away I can go with post and printing.
It all sounds complicated but isn't really. (Thinking of maybe doing a youtube video to show the setting up and use - which would be easier to follow).
BTW - As I said before I have had no trouble shooting tethered into Aperture with the 5D3 before or after Mountain Lion and the issue with Lightroom was that Adobe hadn't updated to include tethered shooting for the 5D3 until they released 4.2. Now they have I can shoot tethered direct to Lightroom. It hasn't been a Mountain Lion issue for me at all.
Hope this helps

MPEGstreamclip, 5D MkII, and iMovie

I got a Canon EOS 5D Mark II recently, and have been playing around with the video (which is simply stunning). Importing the native 1080p .264 video from the camera brings iMovie to its knees. This isn't surprising as it's 40 mbit/s. I'd guess that'll choke a lot of programs, especially on a MBP. It works, but there are a lot of stutters and pauses.
Using "Large" is no problem, of course, but I wanted to do some quick 1080p editing. So I converted to the video to AIC using MPEGstreamclip. I dialed the quality up to 100% and left everything else at the default setting for Quicktime export. The resulting file is significantly larger than the original, which I expected, and also works much better in iMovie. However, the video is also much darker, which I didn't expect. It's darker than either the native 1080p video or the "Large" iMovie converted video (which is identical to the native). Anyone have experience with MPEGstreamclip and have a suggestion? Is this typical? Is this to be expected and simply needs exposure/brightness correction in an editor?
Thanks for you thoughts. If that's just how it is with MPEGstreamclip I'll jump over to Final Cut to work with the video, but for what I'm doing I'd prefer iMovie.

The file I'm using to find just the right brightness adjustment, for example, is 168 MB (35 seconds). After conversion to AIC with MPEGstreamclip it's 312 MB. Much larger for sure, but much, much smoother to edit with in iMovie.
So if you're going to do a lot shooting with the 5D MkII and a lot of conversion to AIC, might I suggest a DroboPro.
FWIW: I'm finding that bumping the brightness to +8 or so gets me close to the original. Now I'm messing with contrast and saturation to see if I can get it to match exactly.
