CS 2 and Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII

I have CS2 and can't open RAW files from my new Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII in it. I presume this is because Camera Raw 3.7 doesn't support the new camera. Does anyone know if this is likely to change ie. is it likely to get supported?
If not does anyone know a way around the problem other than me having to upgrade to CS3.
Not that it is really relevant but I have Mac OS X 10.4.11
Thanks
Geoff

No, once a new version of the Creative Suite comes out, all new Camera Raw updates only work with the newest version of Photoshop.
There is a convenient workaround, though! Download the latest version of the Adobe Digital Negative Converter. Use that to convert all our EOS 1Ds Mark III images to DNG format. You can then open those DNG files up inside of Camera Raw 3.7!

  • Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII and CS2

    I have CS2 which doesn't seem to support the 1Ds MkIII (I can't open Raw files from the camera in CS2). Is there any alternative to upgrading to CS3 that anyone knows about?

    Hello forum, my first post on Adobe Forums.
    I have just taken a 1ds Mk3 for a test drive and having downloaded the images have stumbled across the same problem with my CS2.
    As it happens i have been pondering the upgrade to CS3 for a while but i am concerned that my nearly 3 year old PC [XP Pro P4,3.2GHz, 2GB Ram, CS2, C13.7.4] will be a little strained under the pressure.
    So my question is - how much more processor intensive and memory intensive is CS3 compared to CS2?
    Cheers

  • Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and Aperture 2?

    I was wondering if anyone using a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III can confirm if they're able to shoot tethered using Aperture 2? Though it's listed under the RAW support page, this model of camera is not supported in the knowledge base article called: Tips on tethered shooting.
    I tried the demo and though it registered my camera, it wouldn't allow me to capture. Not sure if it's a limitation of the demo, or ignorance on my part. If you know for certain one way or another, please share.
    Thanks.

    To the best of my knowledge the tethered shooting does not work with any of the newer Canon DSLRs. A workaround that may be good for you is the Aperture hot folder script that I used with Aperture 1.5. If you can't find t just hit the thread back.

  • CANNOT OPEN RAW FILES USING NEW CANON EOS 1D MKIII WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 5

    Hi, I have recently taken a number of RAW shots with my new Canon EOS 1D MKIII and have found that I am unable to import them into Photoshop Elements version 5 (using Microsoft Windows). Comments generated are: "the file is a format that cannot be included in the organiser" and "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file". The RAW file extension is .CR2 and I have been able to open these type of files taken on my older, and much cheaper, Canon 350D. I have spent hours considering different options but to no effect and am completely baffled. Do the two cameras produce different types of RAW files? Notably, the files do import into the Canon software 'Digital Photo Professional' but I want to undertake the more versatile manipulation in Photoshop Elements. I have managed to become even more baffled about Digital Negative ('DNG') files and wonder if there is some kind of converter I need. Would the solution be to purchase a more advanced Photoshop package like CS2? OR .......... do I need an 'Adobe Camera RAW' update? I have struggled to find the latest version for Photoshop Elements 5 to suit my Canon EOS 1D MKIII. There appears to be a 4.3.1 update but this only applies to Version CS3. Help!

    You probably haven't had anyone respond to your question because it has been asked and answered so many times. However, I will try once again.
    Adobe Camera Raw must have a profile for every model of every camera for which it supports the camera's raw format. It is not a matter of just supporting a file type such as your CR2 files. ACR needs to know specifically what model you are using. This is a problem that has been created by the different camera makers. They are the ones who are creating these proprietary raw formats. No, they do not cooperate with Adobe. That is why Adobe has to wait for a camera to be available, then obtain a raw file from that camera, and then create the profile so that ACR will recognize that camera. That is also why ACR is updated about four times each year, to provide support for newly released cameras.
    In an attempt to create a "common" raw file format, Adobe has developed the DNG (Digital negative) file format. Adobe is providing a free DNG converter. You always want to download and use the latest version of the DNG converter because it will be the one that supports the most cameras. The DNG converter creates a digital negative copy of your raw image. It contains all of the original raw image data. The image data is precisely the same data that was in the original raw image. The difference is that the DNG file has a "standardized" file header that stores as much of the metadata as possible about the image. Metadata is the information that records the changes that you make to your image when you edit it. Some of the image data is proprietary, and is therefore not available to Adobe. Obviously, that information simply has to be ignored by ACR. There are no XMP files associated with the DNG files. The information is stored within the DNG file itself so the XMP sidecar file is not necessary.
    If you decide to go the DNG route you want to make sure you are using the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert raw files from the largest number of cameras. Those DNG files can be opened by any version of Camera Raw from version 2.4 onward. Consequently, someone who is still using Photoshop CS still has the capability of working on their raw files even if they have the most recent up to date camera.
    Photoshop Elements will utilize ACR 4.3.1 and any subsequent updates to the ACR 4.x releases. Judging from past experience, there should be another release soon. No one knows for sure. These releases are never announced ahead of time. ACR is not as robust in Photoshop Elements as it is in Photoshop CS3. It is the same plug-in, but a number of options are not available. It will support the same cameras, however.
    You don't need to worry about matching the DNG converter version number to your working version of ACR. The only relationship is that matching version numbers will support the same set of cameras. But the DNG files that are created can be used in any version of ACR from 2.4 onward.
    Anyone who is involved with digital photography and shooting raw has become a victim of the arrogance of the camera makers. The camera makers want to protect their proprietary format, and they want to promote the use of their software. Some of that software has to be purchased, so it is another way for them to make money. Until such time as everyone agrees on a common raw format, the photographers are the ones who are at the mercy of the camera makers. And there will be a continual ongoing updating process that we will have to wait for.

  • How do I get Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) support for my new Canon EOS 7D mkii.

    I purchased the new Canon EOS 7D mkii in early November. I tried opening the raw files in both the latest Creative Cloud versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. I found that Adobe Camera Raw, both the current versions and ACR 8.7 beta/release candidate, did not support this camera. I know one exists because dpreview reviewed the pre-relase version of this camera in mid-October showing images processed with an unreleased version of ACR?
    How do I get this early unreleased version of ACR for this camera?

    Canon Eos 7D Mark ii was launched after we released ACR 8.7 RC. So, that’s the reason it is not included in the RC version. However, it is on our radar and hoping to add it in an upcoming update itself.
    As soon as it is available, it will be updated in the below article.

  • Will there be a RAW plugin for Elements 12 supporting the Canon EOS 7D MkII - or when will the DNG converter for this be available?

    I've just bought a Canon EOS 7D MkII but cannot open the RAW files in Elements 12. I also can't use the latest DNG Converter to convert them - will either option become available and if yes how long is it likely to take please?
    Thanks, Sarah

    Hi,
    The Canon 7D Mk II is currently not supported by any version of camera raw.
    It is expected that Camera raw 8.7 will include support and we are hoping that it will be released soon.
    PSE 12 has ceased to be updated - you will either need to update to PSE 13 or use the DNG 8.7 converter (when it becomes available) to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - PSE 12 will then beable to use the DNG files.

  • Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

    Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

    Only Apple knows. The never announce upcoming RAW support in advance, sorry. And if anybody knew, it would not be allowed to post this information here.

  • Is the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II compatible with iPad Connection Kit

    Hi All,
    First post in the forum. I was wondering if the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II is compatible with the iPad connection kit via USB, as it uses CompactFlash not SD.
    Thanks
    Dill

    Lightworksuk-
    I would think so.  My 5D Mark II and three other Canon cameras are compatible.
    Some people have received an error message that their camera drew too much current from the USB adapter.  In those cameras, there was usually a setting option to charge their batteries from the USB cable.  By turning that option to NOT charge, the problem went away.
    There are several CF to USB adapters on the market.  I have a couple that work with the Camera Connection Kit's USB adapter, but others that draw too much current.  For those, as well as cameras that draw too much current, use of a powered USB hub may solve the problem.

  • Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III RAW support PLEASE!

    Seriously, the camera was announced in August 2007. 6 months have passed and Apple has failed to provide a RAW support update for this camera!
    Why is this program targeted towards professionals if RAW support takes longer than a half a year?
    If this goes on much longer, I might have to make the dreaded switch to Lightroom. And i truly do not want to do that.
    Sorry, I am upset.

    Large Photographic software developers (of which I'd consider Apple, with its iPhoto and Aperture applications, to be part of the group) can get early access to preproduction copies these high end cameras so their RAW definitions can be nearly complete at camera rollout time.
    This is a process problem that Apple has (batching RAW definition creation and distribution for all cameras, mostly all those digicams, with OS updates). Apple needs to see this (time delay) is a problem for their Pro application users and set up a new process to to fast-track DSLR RAW definitions (creation/distribution).
    The E-3 has been waiting since its release in October as well.
    Word is that the new Nikon Defs are in the OS X 10.5.2 update (according to beta testers), so the E-3 and Cannon EOS 1Ds Mark III is probably in there too. Couple of weeks now...would be the expectation...no word on what you'd do if you're running 10.4.

  • IPhoto '09 and Canon EOS 7D

    Heya,
    my mother recently bought a Canon EOS 7D. Unfortunately for her, she only has CS3, so she can't open the cr2. files natively in Photoshop, but instead she had to rely on the Adobe DNG Converter. This worked fine while the EOS Utility tool still worked (She had the OS X Version prior to 10.6.2) and she was able to import the files and convert it.
    Yesterday my couin, who is quite mac savy, installed the Snow Leopard update and convinced her to use iPhoto '09. Unfortunately, whenever we try to import a .cr2 file, it says it is unable to import, as it is unable to read the file format. Ok, that would not be a problem if the EOS utility and the Adobe DNG converter still worked (the EOS tools crashes on start, leaving us unable to import the files.). I did a system update and searched for updates in iPhoto manually. It seems to have the latest version installed, but we are still not able to open the files. I also searched the forums and found a thread where it said one should wait for an apple update. That was over three months ago.
    I hope it is clear what our problem is, since english is not my main language, I had a challenging time to describe it.
    Regards, Cairenn

  • Aperture 2 Raw Conversion and Canon EOS 350D? Getting slightly worse?

    Hi,
    I have compared a few images I shot with my Canon EOS 350d using the RAW converter in version 1.1 and version 2.0. These pictures showed flowers with special lighting conditions (high contrast, with selective sunlight). Then I've looked at some other pictures.
    * 1.1 shows better distribution of light. In 2.0 a wall was more evenly lighted, where 1.1 showed that there are different different levels of light.
    * in 2.0 one often has to apply 'recover hightlights', where this was not necessary in 1.1. Bright areas on flowers are much brighter in 2.0.
    * in 2.0 dark areas are quite a bit brighter
    * in 2.0 some pixel-size artifacts were introduced. For example on some leaf, darker green pixels appeared that were not there in 1.1
    For the images I was looking at (especially when 'played' with light), the new raw converter of Aperture 2.0 seems to be a step backwards.
    What are others' experiences?
    Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

    I wonder if the slowness is related to the rendering of the canon raw files.
    As an experiment, you might try exporting the raw photos and creating a new separate library with them to see if aperture runs just as slow.
    Even if you find the nonraw library runs more smoothly, I am not really suggesting you adopt this as part of your workflow. It just might be good to know if the format is a factor or if something else is causing the laggardly performance.

  • Mavericks and Canon EOS 6D

    Why does Mavericks (iPhoto, Digital Pictures, etc.) not recognize my new Canon EOS 6D camera? I cannot download photos on my computer. iPhoto for example does not even see that there is a camera connected ...

    Hi fmbaumann,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The EOS 6D camera is listed as a compatible model for Mavericks with iPhoto 9.4.3 or later.   When you open your iPhoto application and click on iPhoto, About iPhoto in the menu bar, what version does it show?  You can download the latest version of the software from the Mac App Store.  Once you have downloaded the latest version of the iPhoto software and the Digital Camera RAW update, restart your computer and your camera should be recognized.
