Canon T1i and CS2

I have a sad feeling I know the answer to this question, but if I use CS2 and have the T1i, will I be able to get any kind of upgrade to process the raw files?
Thanks so much!

No, download the FREE DNG Converter and convert the files to DNG....note, you'll need to have ACR 3.7 to open the DNG files. And also note you are leaving substantial and MAJOR image quality on the table by not updating to CS4. Seriously...ACR 3.7 sucks compared to ACR 5.5.

My new Canon MarkIII and CS2 are not compatible...

Hi - I wish I could go into a camera shop or an Apple shop to get this sorted. But there are none where I live so I hope someone can help me. I have a legal version of CS2 and use a G5 mac. I'm a professional photographer and I want only to open my RAW pix in PS without converting via Digital Photo Professional or anything else. I never have my G5 hooked up to the internet and therefore have not imported latest versions of anything. I have tried an illegal CS3 and that cannot open my RAW files either so I am loathe to buy a legal version if it does not solve my problem. While I know both my camera and CS2 back to front I am not a computer geek. I have had a look through the forums but cannot find any answers. Chao and thanks. H

Adobe doesn't offer "forever" support for new cameras, except for offering an ongoing update for their DNG converter. So, to get your canon raw files to open with CS2 you need to download the most recent version of ACR+DNG. See:
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
I cannot help too much, being more familiar with Windows, but the DNG converter does not need to be installed - it just simply works by pointing it at a folder of raw files.
The version of CS3 you tried probably didn't install with the most recent version of ACR, which is why it didn't work with your Canon files. ACR v4 is much improved over v3 - you might consider CS3. Another option, for approximately the same price of upgrading to CS3, is Lightroom (v2 in beta test). It offers a slightly different approach to digital photography that includes a library (i.e., database approach as opposed to Bridge's "browser" approach).

Canon T1i and Speedlite 580EX for off camera usage

I have a T1i and 580EX (not 580EX II) flash. I would like to use the flash of the camera. Would I need any other devices (trigger, transmitter)? If not, then could you give me the guide as how it is set. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice. Now if I were to have two 580EX flashes, one mounted on the camera and the other off the camera then the one on the camera will trigger the other, no other devices like Yongnuo 622 is needed, right?
Correct. See page 31 of the 580EX manual on how the wireless feauture works. Here's a link to Canon's online copy of the manual: http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/camera/580EX.pdf
You can also use a Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2. This unit is not a flash.. it's just a transmitter (it's basically a non-flashing "master" that can trigger any Canon "slave" unit.) Having a 2nd flash is perhaps a bit more versatile (but also larger and heavier).
You can tell a Speedlight flash in "master" mode that you don't want it to fire. The point of having a flash "on" but telling it not to fire is that it will still work as a commander (master) to trigger your remote slave units. You will actually see the flash fire if you watch it... but it's only firing the pre-flashes necessary to communicate with the slave units. When the shutter opens to take the shot, only the slaves will fire -- not the master -- so your image wont be impacted by the light you see flashing from the master.
E-TTL flash technically always fires twice... once to do the pre-flash and then again when the camera shutter opens to take a shot. This happens so fast most people don't realize it fired twice.

Canon T1i memory cards

I have a Canon T1i and would like to know if the newer SDXC flash memory cards are supported. If yes, are there significant advantages over SDHC cards?

Your camera supports SD and SDHC, respectively. The SD card was the first released, and the SDXC is the most recent. The SDHC will work best with your camera. What you want to look at and purchase with your memory card is the Class/speed rating, which with your camera I'm guessing is maybe a recommended minimum of Class 6, and if I were you I'd go all the way and purchase a Class 10 with the greatest transfer rate. Trust me, you won't regret it, and the cost difference is negligible when considering the cost of your camera and all its accoutrements.

Photoshop CC: unable to open Raw files from Canon T1i

I am trying to edit photos in the raw CR2 format I took with my Canon T1i. I cannot get the new Photoshop CC to open them. I think I need a plug in to do this but cannot find out where to download the plug in. Please send a link to the plug in 5.4 for windows and how to download it so i can finish editing the photos I have. Thanks!

The Canon T1i has been supported by Photoshop since Photoshop CS4 (via an upgrade to ACR 5.4).
The Adobe Camera Raw plugin has been able to read T1i Raw files out-of-the-box in Photoshop since CS5.
Something else must be happening.

I have a EOS T1i and would like to experiment with time lapse photography. Any help?

I have an EOS T1i and would like to experiment with time lapse photography. I just read an Apple tip for the iPad and it is easy to do with the iPad but timing is something else. I would like to do it with my Canon and be able to change the timing between shots. Can you provide advice? I put time lapse into Google and it had an attachment for the T3i that I could get from Amazon. I don't know if it fit my T1i and don't know where to put it. Any advice would be helpful. I tried to do a search on this forum but could not find the answer.

Aperture 3.0 not importing RAW files from Canon T1i

I have recently upgraded to Aperture 3.0. I shoot with Canon T1i in RAW+JPG file size. When importing files from Canon T1i for the first time to Aperture 3.0, I found that all files imported as jpg not RAW. How do I get the RAW files? Help!!!
Anjali

It does support Canon T1i RAW mode. In the "Import Settings", there's a section for "RAW+JPEG Pairs". If you don't see this, click the "Import Settings" pulldown menu and select it.
In the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" section, there's a pulldown menu to allow you to select "Both (RAW as Master)"
It'll use the JPEG as the "Preview" image, but it will use the RAW as the master for all adjustments you want to perform.
Prior to the import, you should see both the JPEG and RAW (.CR2) files. AFTER the import, you should only see the RAW in your project (it has the JPEG... but it wont normally display it because it knows the RAW is the master.) After the import, select any photo in your project, then click the "metadata" tab on the left. At the top it should give you the camera, lens, exposure info, etc. and you should see the "RAW" icon.

CS4 won't read Canon T1i raw files

CS4 won't read Canon T1i raw files. Is this a known problem? Is there an update or plugin that I need to download? If so, where can I find it? Thanks for your help.

T1i support was added in Camera Raw 5.4. It sounds like your Camera Raw may be out of date.
From within Photoshop, choose "Updates…" from the Help menu. It'll do its thing and eventually Adobe Updater should tell you updates are available. Run through that install process and you should be set to go.
Note that you will have to quit Photoshop during the installation process, so make sure all your work is saved.

Import From Device "show preview" Does not work for RAW (Canon T1i/500D)

Hi,
Not sure if anyone else has seen this. I just got a canon T1i (500D for you Europeans). When I plug the camera into the computer and select Import From Device, and select "show preview" in the import window, only the JPEGs show thumbnails. All of my RAW images show up as grey boxes. This is the first digital SLR I ever owned, and the first time I am really using lightroom. This kills my workflow plans, as I ususally download images into folders, and name them, by category. Without seeing the thumbnails, it is impossible to know what category what images belong to.
Anywone have any ideas? Does this happen with all RAW images on all cameras? Is it a T1i problem?
Thanks.

OK, I have the previews working now, which is good. Here is how I am using the tool.
1) put the card in a card reader
2) select import from device
I noticed a couple of things that are very frustrating:
1) I Don't see a way to delete photos from the import tool, either manually or automatically after import. I seem to have to delete thing through explorer (I am on windows xp)
2) There is no indication of whether you have downloaded an image already or not. The software that came with the camera puts an arrow on all downloaded pictures. This is very nice if you are not importing all your pictures at once.
3) My camera takes movies. There is no way to import them along with the rest of the files (yes I know lightroom is not a movie tool, but having to use another program or explorer is annoying). Furthermore, every time I try to import files when there is a movie on the card, I get an error saying movies will be skipped. The pics still import, but it is irritating.
Any suggestions? I am trying to figure out a good work flow. I would import everything and than organize the files, but I don't see any easy way to resort files and rename them en-mass. I tried moving files in explorer, but, as could be expected, LR could not find the files afterward. I re-synced the folder, but that lost the changes I made on images (I did not have them saved as DNG, so the modifications were in the side car, I guess).
Thanks,

Canon T1i video importing problem

Hi folks. I'm trying to import Canon T1i clips into PP CS5, but it either doesn't want to add audio, or it puts it in Audio track 4. My Canon 1Dm4 does not do this. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Brian

Hi btrippy,
You can check the media information whether it is stereo or mono and some other information through media info software.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download
Check as per Windows or Mac.
If windows check the file system 32 bit or 64 bit as per your system and then you need to select the GUI v0.7.34 (without installer)
Download and install the software and then import one of your video clips and then click on VIEW menu and then select TREE to check the information.

Canon t1i can't tether with my Macbook running 10.6.4

Hello great knowledgeable people,
My Macbook is running 10.6.4 and it won't recognize my Canon t1i/500D. I scoured the internet for related problems and everyone says the recent update added compatibility with this model but it doesn't work for me. I'm trying to use Lightoom 3 with my Canon t1i for tethered (usb) shooting but It simply will not work. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Someone complained about their T2i not being able to tether which is the model after the T1i, it's listed in the tethered camera support page for Lightroom 3 as EOS 500D (Rebel T1I(EOS /Kiss X3 Digital)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84221.html#canon
I think my problems lies with Snow Leopard not being usb compatible with my camera which is a shame. I wish someone with the T1i or the T2i would respond and share their experience . . .
Lightroom 3 and Aperture 3 both support the T1i as per their support pages but the Apple OS doesn't support connecting them? Just doesn't make sense. Especially since Aperture is an Apple product and why would they allow support for hardware their OS doesn't actually support. Oh wait, we're talking about Apple . . .

TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple," This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

Solved problem with original Canon software. When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
You should still use Image Capture IMHO. If it was my gear, that's what I would do. No need to worry about software upgrades.

Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

How to open Raw files from Canon 1100D and 650D in CS5?

I need assistance please. I have a Canon 1100D and 650D. On Photoshop CS5 it does not recognise the 2 Cameras Raw files. What is my course of action. Help will be highly appreciated

evjems, As per the below article, Canon EOS 1100D needs minimum Adobe Camera Raw(ACR) version 6.4 and Canon EOS 650D needs minimum ACR version 7.1
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
So, you should be able to open raw files of 1100D, if you upgrade your PS ( Help > Updates), but not of 650D as it needs PS CS6 and above.
Let me know in case you still have any doubts.
Hope that Helps!
