Colored bands on photos in aperture canon 40d

Does anyone else get bands and squares of pink to magenta color on some of their photos in aperture? It only involves portions of the photos and does not affect them all.
I use a canon 40d and shoot RAW.
I know that other color issues have been seen with other cameras and that this resolves when you roll back to the RAW update 2.1 but surely someone in Apple knows about this?
Interestingly I have not experienced this yet on my Macbook Pro with the 2.4 update but it comes back each time in my imac.

I am still having this same problem
I have tried deleting both the preferences and presets. I have reinstalled Aperture and tried switching off automatic previews with no improvement. I have changed color sync profiles.
I have noticed that the same thing happens in iphoto 9.
I managed to speak to someone at Apple who was quite short with me and implied there was nothing much wrong. He told me to rebuild the database, then perform a consistency check and then hung up. I did both these things and still have the problem.
I have invested a lot of time in Aperture as well as money on plugins and don't want to change but I may have to turn to Adobe if this can't be fixed

How can I download my RAW photos from my Canon 40D camera to my MBPS

I have a Canon 40D camera, and in downloading my RAW photos to my new MBP the files convert to JPEG instead of staying in RAW. Is there a seething I can use to maintain my photos as RAW

How are you doing the downloading?
If you download raw files with iPhoto, iPhoto can only edit the JPEG preview that is embedded with each raw file. iPhoto is not a true raw editor, because it's a consumer-level product, not professional-level.
The files should remain in RAW format if you download any of these ways, by using:
Apple Image Capture (in your Utilities folder)
Canon Digital Photo Professional (comes with your camera, but since the 40D is so old, go to the Canon site and upgrade your copy to the latest version for compatibility with the latest Mac OS X)
Apple Aperture
Adobe Lightroom
Any other professional raw organizer/editor like Capture One

Canon EOS Utility crashes when I try to download photo's from Canon 40d

As the title says, my EOS Utility crashes as soon as I turn on my 40d to download photo's from it. I've upgraded to the latest Canon Software for DPP, Imagebrowser, EOS utility etc and have got the latest firmware on the 40d itself.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone know if Apple / Canon are trying to fix it?
Anyone got a solution?

I too use Canon EOS Utility, for a 5D.
I am still using version 2.4 of the software with my cheap and cheerful generic CF card reader (from Play.com) and it all works fine. The rest of my Canon software is okay, although I do not use it much, preferring RAW Developer and Elements 6, however I still use the EOS utility to download images from my CF cards.
So as to wether this is an SL problem who knows. I have read in other threads here about problems with card readers not being recognised, replacements having to be purchased.
My SL went okay with virtually no glitches, so I may be one of the lucky ones.

Aperture and Canon 40D RAW

When will Aperture support RAW from my Canon 40D?
In the meantime how should I handle my RAW images? Can I import them into Aperture now with metadata attached and when the support is there all my photos and metadata will appear?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The first question has been asked many times in the last 4 weeks and there's no answer. Ask more and Apple will lock this thread.
Second question. If you shoot RAW only, Aperture will import the file, and you won't be able to see it or work with it. You can export it to use Canon's DPP, Photoshop or other available converter to process it, save it to TIFF or JPEG, and then reimport to Aperture for now.
If you shoot RAW and JPEG, Aperture will import both files, but it's not apparent where the JPG file is. Control-click or right-click the grey square thumbnail or the reddish main window, and click "New Version from Master JPEG" to reveal the full-resolution JPEG image the camera took.
When OSX starts supporting 40D in the future, those RAW files will automatically be shown inside Aperture.

Why does my photo look normal in Adobe RAW, but when opened in CS6 it becomes strongly color banded

Had this problem once before, but uninstalled all my Nikon viewing etc software and it cleared up. Haven't changed anything since then, but it just started doing it again. Photo looks normal in Adobe camera raw, but when opened from there into CS6 it becomes highly color banded and cartoonish looking. On some pictures it's only happening in the brighter, highlight areas, in others the whole picture is affected. I'm using a high end Alienware computer and didn't have any issues for about the first year, my graphics card drivers are up to date, will check on monitor drivers next I guess.

What are your Color Settings?

Horizontal colored bands appearing in imported raw files

I just now started to have mostly magenta horizontal lines or bands appear in imported a Sony Nex 7 ARW files. When opening the same file with Sony’s raw converter or DXO Pro, the bands are non existent. I have noticed that sometimes but not always, the bands will disappearing in LR after I examine a photo by clicking on it to enlarge a selected area and the loading finishes. Exported photos will have the bands. Also, If I first open the files with IDC or DXO, the file will then import into Lightroom without the bands. I have run diagnostics on the SD card and the hard drive with no errors showing up. Running LR5.4 on a Macbook Pro. I’m totally confused. Any enlightening comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
These artifacts are exactly like those in the post : Why do I get Colored bands on some images in LR4 and LR5, but not in Aperture?

I have the EXACT same problems when importing .RAF files from my Fujifilm X-T1 via a USB card reader (USB 2.0) on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) with OS X 10.9.3 in Lightroom 5.4. (I did not purchase the X-T1 until after I updated to 5.4, so I can't speak of whether this happens in other versions of LR)
I second sevenc's suggestions that this is NOT a hardware issue - I have tried 5 different SD cards, all formatted either on my computer or in the camera, reformatted several times (low-level format) and it STILL happens! Never with the JPGs, only with the RAW files.
However, doing a straight file copy from the SD card (in the card reader) to the hard drive before doing the import works fine - no artifacts!
Ditto if I use the internal SD reader (an internal USB3.0 connection) on the Macbook, no purple bands.
It is apparently unrelated to the OS, since this is happening both in Windows and OS X. I have posted a more detailed acccount here:
Lightroom 5.4 - "glitches" on my RAF->DNG conversions from X-T1 - Fuji X Post Processing - Fuji X Forum
One of the members of that forum has seen the same happening with Panasonic RAW files, but only when an external USB drive was connected at the same time.
When the external drive was disconnected, the images imported normally.
BTW, my Canon files import just fine, using the same SD card, the same USB card reader and the same computer - no glitches....
The most likely thing happening (my opinion) is that the Lightroom import process somehow interferes with the USB connection. It doesn't really make sense, because I am sure Lightroom uses the standard OS I/O file routines, but it seems to be the most likely issue. Is there a chance LR uses its own code for reading files off of external drives.
Other software (Aperture, Preview, Image Capture, Raw Photo Processor 64 or PhotoNinja) can import fine, whether the card is in an external card reader or not - no artifacts.
I have seen it the same issue described with Panasonic files on LR 4, so it does not seem to be limited to LR 5.4
Re: Why do I get Colored bands on some images in LR4 and LR5, but not in Aperture?
Anyone care to shed light on the issue and what could be going on here ? It seems the more obscure raw formats are affected (Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm) and that Canon/Nikon users do not experience it (at least I haven't found it described online).
This is a serious bug, because unless you do a re-import of the RAW/RAF file, the image data is permanently corrupted. It is not an issue of corruption of the embedded JPG preview , it is the RAW file itself. Once it has been imported by Lightroom, it displays the artifacts in other programs as well (Aperture, Preview etc)
Trying to convert the image to another format, e.g. TIFF, JPG, BMP the artifacts are still there.
I hope this is taken seriously by Adobe, as it is a critical issue for those of us who are affected. I can work around it by copying the files to my hard drive first, but it shouldn't have to be this way....

How could I get to the latest taken photos in Aperture 2.1.4?

I take photos with Canon 40D in RAW.
Now, every time I connect my camera to the Mac Book Air[MBA] that has my Aperture v2.1.4, Aperture opens and picture import windows begin. But it will show the first set of oldest available for import show up,
I have to go out of that and keep returning to the "Canon40d import" on the MBA Aperture screen for at least few times to get the last set of latest taken photos to show up on the MBA screen.
Is there a way that when I connect the Cannon 40D to my MBA and Aperture open the last latest set of photos taken on the camera will show up on my selection screen?
I normally do not import all the photos taken on the my Canon 40D. So there are many photos taken on in earlier dates remain in the Canon's memory card.
Thanking you

One thing that you can try is using the "Do not import duplicates" feature, this will take a moment to sort through your library and the card to compare files, once done though it will eliminate all previously imported images.
Another way would be to copy the images from the card using the finder and then import them to AP.
Have to ask, WHY do you leave images on the card?
My thoughts
Easy to loose the card/Camera, (done it)
Easy for card/camera to be damaged, cards do fail. (done it)
Easy for images/files to be deleted from camera "accidentally". (done it)
Card needs to be formatted regularly to assist in preventing corruption of card.
Once at your computer you have the opportunity to copy off and BACK UP! Only one copy of a file and it does not exist. (done it)
What happens if you are on location and you run out of disk space and you are stuck with the option of either not shooting a moment or sitting deleting pics from the card. (done it)

Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them. Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo. I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there. I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze. It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero. They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks - Jma

Hello Kirby,
Your recap is correct. I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date. I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500. Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500. I've tried them all. They all have lines through them. There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver". I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual. Still, lines through both.
This is really discouraging. Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer. And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
Fingers crossed that this can be resolved. I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts. And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

Canon 40D RAW (CR2) Files import

I've Photoshop and Aperture. Cannot install Elements which would be my preference - so help needed here.
Also - I use iPhoto mostly in the latest Apple OS, yet I cannot import Canon 40D RAW files. I get an error message saying they could not be imported - import failed.
Help please.

Freshacre:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What version of PS Elements are you trying to install? I've installed the PSE 6 demo without any problem.
What type of files are you trying to import and from where?
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), 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.

Colored bands on exported master files

I have been using Aperture mostly for selecting, cataloging and processing RAW files. I recently had the time to import my work from film sources. These files open and display fine in Photoshop. I imported these files into Aperture projects and added key words. These files are tif and psd files without layers and between 12 to 40Mo in size. They all display fine in Aperture. I have not made any adjustments on any of the files. They are all RGB.
When I export a version from them, there is no problem. However, when I export the master, I get colored bands on the masters, any where from one band to 10 or more. Not all the files have this problem. I deleted some of the problem files from Aperture, reimported and tried again. To no avail. I also tried exporting the same master several times and sometimes the banding is no longer present after these several tries, which seems very odd indeed.
After export from Aperture, I open the files in Photoshop where I see this banding. When opening in Photoshop, some files get an error message saying the file was damaged by a disk error. The same file opened in photoshop without having been first imported into Aperture does not get this error.
I looked at some problem files directly in the Aperture library by opening the package contents and those files open in Photoshop without any banding.
Here is a link to a sample of what I am getting:
http://homepage.mac.com/shiyinjia/Aperture/colorbands.jpg
I cannot say for sure whether this problem existed before the 10.4.6 came out. But some of the files exhibiting this problem were indeed imported prior to this update. I am running Aperture 1.01.
I have searched on this forum for posts of similar problems and didn't find any, but if there were, please be so kind as to direct me to them! Thanks for any insights you might have into this problem!

Powerbook G4 12 inch 1.33, PowerMac G5 dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ok here is what I've found out. I imported the original without the banding into Aperture, on export to master I got the banding. Then I thought ok, I'll copy and paste the image in photoshop into a new document, flatten it and save it as a PSD again. I imported that. Export as master on this file also gives banding but slightly different. Then I decided to apply a light gausian blur to the whole image in photoshop. Did this, saved it and imported and then exported in Aperture. It does not have the banding.
I'm not sure what this means other than you have a corrupt file. It could be you have a bad hard drive, or corrupt media that it was stored on (cds can deteriorate as well as external drives.) Anyway, somewhere something has corrupted this file (and maybe othere stored on the same media.)
So as stated before make sure you back up your entire main hard drive ASAP. Don't just back up your photos, back up everything thats important to you.
Back up any non-duplicated info on any external drive you have as well. Then boot your computer using the a Mac OS X install disk and check for hard drive errors. Check all your externals for errors too. If nothings shows up, Disk Warrior might not be a bad investment, just for the piece of mind. Also back up any cd/dvds you might have photos stored on by copying the contents to your hard drive and then burning a new cd because if you have DVDs or CDs that are faultering, they're only going to get worse as time goes on.
This does not necesarily mean you have a bad drive or disks, but chances are if this is happening with multiple files there probably is a problem with your storage and it's better be safe than sorry. If this has happened to one or two files, it could just be a case of a bad file, that had an error while be written to, or just got corrupted.
Good luck.

Tether mode with Canon 40D

Hi Guys,
I Can't get my Canon 40D connected with the tether mode in Aperture. I rode in topics from early 2008 Aperture didn't supported Canon 40D. I was wondering if someone knows more about this and/or have a solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance!

I submitted the following on the Apple Feedback page. Feel free to copy and paste, and do the same thing.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Ever since upgrading to the newest version of OSX, I'm having a problem tethering my Canon 40D to my Macbook using the Canon EOS Utility. After doing a number of searches on various photography and Mac forums, this is a common problem that seems to be a problem with OSX, not the Canon Utility. This is a VERY frustrating problem, and more can be read about it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8741896
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8832865
http://photo.net/canon-eos-digital-camera-forum/00IMwB
And a number of other places.
I'm using a Canon 40D with OSX 10.5.6 on my Macbook. When I plug in the camera to the laptop and launch EOS Utility, sometimes it will launch properly, but as soon as I take a few photos or start adjusting settings, it'll start slowing down, then I'll get the spinning beachball of doom requiring me to force quit the EOS Utility. This is getting INCREDIBLY frustrating, as it's supposed to be a functionality supported by both Canon and Apple. I've also tried using the Aperture 2 Tether feature, but it doesn't support the 40D. I would really like to see either Canon or Apple take some responsibility for this problem and get it resolved soon.
Apple, please listen - your customers are begging for your help with this.

Problems with CANON 40d

Hi.
I have reed the topics related with CANON cameras but none resolved my problem.
I'm quite new to mac world but I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 2.66 that came pre-instaled with snow leopard. What was my surprise when a plugged my CANON 40D to it with USB cable! The computer doesn't recognize the camera! The camera keeps flashing the "Busy" message and nothing else works. Strange, I'm quite new to MACs but my wife have a MacBook Air with Leopard and everything works OK. What's wrong then? Anyone has or had the same problem?
I see i'll have to purchase a CF card reader, since I don't have any I have to "BOOTCAM" in order to take my photos off the camera...
What a shame!
Thanks for an answer!
Luis

Yep, me too.
can't import raw pics on aperture 2.1.4, iphoto 09, image capture app, or adobe bridge.
Thanks Apple.

Canon 40D and Geotagging (GPS)

I've been reading posts and I still cant seem to understand how to do this. I have a Canon 40d camera and want to use a gps data logger to track where photo's were taken and then have the GPS information imported into Aperture 3.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks... Gary

I also own a *Canon EOS 40D* and I've investigated how to do that.
It turns out that the regular way is to use an optional module for the camera and hook up a GPS receiver to it.
• First, you need the *Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3A* that permits wireless transfer and back-up, as well as remote control of the camera in Live View mode.
It can also be connected to various GPS receivers or Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external storage devices such as convenient flash drives or high-capacity hard drives with much larger storage capacity than the memory cards in the camera for instant back-up as images are captured.
The WFT-E3A wireless transmitter also doubles as a vertical grip and requires its own BP-511A battery pack in addition to the battery installed in the camera body.
More on this hardware by googling or searching dpreview : http://search.dpreview.com/?q=WFT-E3A
I've found one on Amazon at $635 instead of $1200. But it's still rather expensive, unfortunately.
• Then, of course, you need to get a USB enabled GPS receiver.
I guess there are a great number of models available, with an equal variety in prices.
And then, your photos will have the GPS coordinates embedded in the file.
I hope this helps.

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIE

In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks
Nlouis

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?
