Canon S95 raw/jpg question

Just purchased a S95 and have a question:
1. Lightroom has not updated to accept the S95 Raw images. If I import jpg's, am I correct to assume that any changes to the jpg images in the Develop Mode does not deteriorate the image, only when I SAVE in jpg. If I move the jpg to Photoshop and then SAVE in Tiff, then again, I would avoid any deterioration. Am I correct?
Thank you for your help!!!

Yes you are correct. All your Lightroom edits are stored in the catalog.
N.B. Jpegs are 8 bit so not much point in creating 16bit tiff to edit in Photoshop.
You could use canon dpp which came with your camera to create 8 or 16 bit tiffs from your raw files to process in photoshop. This would probably work better.

Canon S95 raw performance slow.

I'm very happy that I can use raw files from my Canon S95 in Lightroom 3.3RC but the performance/speed of edits is very slow. As an example, full resolution raw files from my Canon 5D Mark II are about twice as fast to edit. Hopefully with the final version of Lightroom 3.3 the raw "engine" for the S95 will be optimized. Is this typical?

I would have expected the opposite as 5d photos are 21mp and the S95 are 10mp.
Probably best to raise this in the Lightroom forum during the beta testing.

Canon s95 in 3.3 RAW aspect ratio

Hi,
When I import Canon s95 in 3.3, RAW + JPEG with aspect ratio 3:2, I see the picture in 3:2 ratio.
Nevertheless, the RAW has the full info (4:3)
Is it possible to have it?
Thanks

Unfortunately, Lightroom does not read settings made by other software. This probably would not be a solution for you. But I wanted to create a series of images that would display full screen on my HD TV, 16:9 aspect ratio. I selected all the images and then made the crop on the first one with auto sync enabled. Then I went through the images, approximately 250, and found that I only had to make positional adjustments on about 20 of them. In my opinion, I saved a lot of time.

Canon S95 CR2 raw files not recognized

I just bought my wife a Canon S95 specifically because it could produce raw files. I just tried to import her first pictures using Lightroom 3.2 and CR2 files are not supported. Silly me I did not check the supported camera list. The S90 is there but not the S95. When do you think Adobe will get around to supporting this camera?

Hi Amir
>As suggested above, use ExifTools. After downloading it, you can simply run (under windows):
thanks it worked great with a Mac as well, within terminal. I added overwrite to remove the original ( I had already made a copy)
exiftool "-CanonModelID=PowerShot S90" -overwrite_original /Volumes/DRIVE2/CanonS95/folder1 (wherever your files are located)
here's a link to more exiftool info if anyone else wants to give this a try.

>In general, ACR/LR gets updated 3-4 times per year based mostly on the number of new cameras released in a time period.
thanks for the info, is the process of adding new cameras very involved, or are the delays because of difficulty getting raw data from the manufacturers?

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.

Will Aperture 3.0.3 Convert RAW Files for My New Canon S95?

This camera was just released and, of course, isn't listed as being supported by Aperture. But, since it uses the same chip and processor as its predecessor, the S90, will Aperture recognize the S95's RAW images or do I have to wait for an update?

Hi there!
To answer your question, as I've just received my S95, I tested importing RAW files into Aperture 3.0.3 (since that is the only way to be absolutely sure of its behavior).
So, Aperture 3.0.3 does NOT recognize the S95 RAW files (even though it shows the previews just fine).
Using ExifTool, I modified the CanonModelID tag to "PowerShot S90" and imported the file again, which worked just fine (which confirms the proposed solution).

How to handle RAW+JPG?

Hi guys,
Just downloaded LR4 trial, and there is something I can't quite figure out.
I have a lot of RAW+JPG pictures (shot as RAW+JPG or previously converted from RAW to JPG with other programs), when importing them to Lightroom, I can choose to treat them as the same picture or as separate pictures.
At first glance, they should of cause be treated as the same picture (because they are the same picture), and they do indeed appear as "RAW+JPG" in LR, but how do I:
- View the JPG? (not critical, but it would be nice to be able to compare the JPG with the LR results)
- Add metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the JPG file and not just the RAW file? (I have enabled "write metadata to file")
If treated as separate pictures, they behave as one would expect, but it is not that convenient to have two of the same pictures side-by-side.
- Can I auto-stack RAWs and JPGs?
- Can I write metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the entire stack in one go?
And please don't give me the same answer, I keep reading over and over again, when other people ask the same question: "Why would you have RAW and JPG of the same image?" That is not the question, but I will answer it anyway :-)
1. I need JPG versions of my pictures for e-mail, web, viewing on my TV etc.
2. I REALLY don't want to be dependent on LR in the future. If I have spend hours and hours fine tuning my pictures, and only have them saved as RAW, I would need LR till the day I die. And it doesn't end there, my kids, my grand kids and so on, would also need LR to view the pictures (at lease in the quality I would like them to be viewed).
~Frank

That was also my feeling, that Lightroom's support for such is pretty little.
Because it is not LR's concept.
Frank,
what you could do in order to further make up your mind to which extent LR might suit you:
Use an alternative picture viewer (e.g. Irfanview) to compare JPGs.
Copy your existing JPGs to a folder, but do not import them into LR (that means do not LR have creating pointers to them and records in the catalog-database).
Import your raws into LR (that means you need to have some safe storage space for the image files themselves), and do your developments there. When you think you are ready, export** them as full-sized JPGs, renamed e.g. by a suffix -LR, into your JPG-folders. Do not add such export to your LR catalog.
Use the alternative picture viewer to compare how you did, compared to your camera's auto-conversion.
To further ease your mind regarding dependancy on LR: most of your develop settings can be written back to the raw file's xmp-part (that is a sidecar-file for a proprietary raw format such as Nikon's .NEF or Canon's .CR2, or embedded for a DNG, PSD or TIFF).
This xmp can be read by many other other programs.
So you would have your raws enriched.
Plus you could decide to store your exported JPGs *forever*.
Pretty independant from Lightroom, no?
Should you want to ultimately rely on raw-conversion results, I would go for different software, e.g. DxO.
Cornelia
**exporting means: LR is making use of its records as rendering instructions and writes a completely new file, in the format you specify for this export, e.g. JPG.
LR is a database, that contains records ABOUT images. It reads from them, it writes to their xmp-part if tell it to do so (choice is continuously or upon separate command for selected images), it can write other output, e.g. a PDF working as a slide show, a web gallery, a print, a book.

How do I transfer RAW+jpg to cloud storage under iOS 8?

I want to transfer Canon RAW+jpg CR2 files, imported from the camera via the camera connection kit, from my iPad to cloud storage in Dropbox. Prior to iOS 8, I could accomplish this by exporting from the photography workflow app PhotosInfoPro. That functionality is now broken. The app performs correctly when handling pure jpg files, or handling pure RAW files, but fails when handling RAW+jpg. The operation completes without any error messages, but only the jpg data from the RAW+jpg has been uploaded to the cloud. The RAW sensor data isn't there.
Is there an alternate method to transfer these files from the iPad to cloud storage - either Dropbox or Google Drive? I have tried many different things, none of which were successful. I can get the jpg portion into the cloud, but not the RAW portion. If you know of a method or an app that is performing this successfully under iOS 8, please help. I am at my wits end.

How can I transfer the photos to the Cloud to free up some space?
iCloud does not store photos long term. You can share your photos to your Photo Stream to transfer them, but you need to download them on another device, before you delete them from your iPhone.
Back them up on a computer, before you delete them from your iPhone.
For example, by:
Import photos directly into iPhoto or Aperture on your computer.
Save photos to your computer using iTunes.

Can't open canon g16 raw files. I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16. I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files. The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files. I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that. What am I doing wrong? I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw. My canon 60d raw files work fine.

Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4. You should ALWAYS update to the latest version. Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6. I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
Did you install ACR correctly. ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway). What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

I use a Canon 7D DSLR. Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
Some files still open others do not. I can think of only one thing. I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
Any ideas why this would happen? I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter. Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
Alex

ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

Raw imports fail if shooting in RAW+JPG

I've got a canon Xsi and set it to record RAW+JPG for some testing. I installed 10.5.4 which claimed to support RAW for the camera. But I could never get any of the images to import.
I've now figured out what is going on. I was using the USB cable to plug into the camera which uses the Image Capture framework to copy the images to the computer. There is a bug in the image capture framework that it always uses the size of the JPG file when it copies the file over, even when copying the RAW file. This has the effect of truncating the RAW file, causing the RAW conversion to fail.
To work around this problem, use a card reader that causes the card to mount as a disk drive. You'll then get the whole RAW file and the image will import properly.
I've filed a bug.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Also if you just shoot RAW I believe iPhoto will import correctly from the camera. Since iPhoto creates a jpg file for each raw that is imported you will still have both types of files in iPhoto. Since I don't shoot raw I don't know if there's any difference between the jpg created by the camera and the one created by iPhoto when importing RAW only. If you get a chance to test it out and report that would be of interest to others. Thanks for the feedback.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Canon G16 Raw File completly shuts down the computer

I am using Aperture3.6 and Yosemite (completely updated) on a 4 year MacBook Air.
I have used Aperture and macs for many many years and have been shooting pictures in RAW and editing them in Aperture for 8 years. I have a huge library of RAW files in my aperture library.
I have used Canon DLSRs for years and recently traded in my old Canon 550D for a Canon G16 (it is 5 days old!). When I upload my pictures (RAW+JPG) into Aperture and try to edit or view them (not preview them) about 30% are corrupted (pink psychedelic or black). The others, I am unable to open. Aperture freezes up the entire computer and if I'm listening to music on iTunes the music starts crackling and stopping and then goes dead completely. I cannot forcequit the programs as the computer is completely frozen.
I have changed HD Cards and taken it to the camera shop and they cannot find any problem with the camera.
I've noted on the forum that in 2013/14 peopole reported a few problems with RAW files from the G16 but since then the RAW Compatability has been fixed to include the G16, and it appears no one else is having trouble.
When I reopen Aperture and go to other projects I am able to edit and view tthose raw files with no problem whatsoever. I've created two new libraries as a test (aperture and iphoto) and the problem persists.
Can anyone give me advice as to whether this is a camera issue or a software (aperture/iPhoto) issue or perhaps my old air needs renewing. But it seems strange that when the new RAWS fromthe G16 are opened the whole computer freezes and even effects I Tunes!!!!
What the F?
Nate

after much consternation I have discovered that the problem is APERTURE. Despite claiming that the program is compatible with the G16 RAW files it really is NOT. I had to download Canon's own photoediting and viewing software....and guess what no problem at all editing, viewing any of the files.
I tried them in Lightroom too and guess what...no problem at all!
So although Aperture has been like an old friend it is time to say bye bye and make the big trek over the Lightroom!
Sad but relieved.

How to import RAW+JPG?

I recently acquired a Canon 30D and am now able to save my images in RAW+JPG format, which gives me the normal RAW (CR2) file and a JPEG file for each capture. This is handy for using the picture styles where the RAW is the normal full capture of colour while the JPEG is processed according to the selected picture style giving, for example, a monochrome image.
When I try to import these from the card the preview displays thumbnails only of the JPEG images but only the CR2 files appear to be imported. However, looking at the folder on disk reveals that the JPEG files have also been imported but are simply not displayed within Lightroom itself.
I could of course work with the JPEG files outside of my Lightroom library but would prefer not to do so. How can I get the JPEG files to become part of the library so that I can work with them in Lightroom?

A search for RAW + JPEG brings up a page load of pertinent entries for me.

Import only jpg files from a camera that shoots RAW+jpg?

Is there a way to import only jpg files from a camera that shoots both RAW+jpg? I only want the small jpgs copied, not the RAW file. I have the USB adapter and am about to go on vacation and wanted to use my iPad to upload pictures to Facebook on the go so I am going to shoot on my Canon 5D in RAW+jpg. All I want to copy to the iPad are the jpg files. Is there a way to only copy one?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.
