CS 4 question Cannon Raw

In CS4 my Cannon Raw files do not open as they do in BRIDGE. My Nikon & DNG files have a sample image. I've downloade two different Cannon Codec files but no joy. My CDR's open in Windows Live Photo Gallery? I just down loaded the latest Adobe CS4 update which included a raw file update but no joy.
Thanks for you help.

When I go to BRIDGE I have thumbnails for all my file formats. In CS4 I can only see Nikon & DNG tumbnails. Cannon Raw files show as a Avatar. My Cannon cameras are G-11 & G-12. Here are the Cannon codec files I have installed: rc190upd-7l.exe &  rc170upd-71.exe I also installed the latest Adobe update for CS4 which included a camera raw codec file.
You should be able to see the G11 raws as it needs ACR 5.6 so in CS4 that is doable.  Do you have ACR 5.6 or 5.7?  For G12 you would need CS5 and above, or convert to DNG for everything to work.
Not a programmer, but do not think downloading a Cannon codec will do anything, and may even confuse the issue.
What version of DNG are you using?  Need  6.3 or above.  Would go for 7.1 for all the latest features.

  • Viewing Cannon Raw images in Bridge

    I normally shoot with my Nikon D3, But I recently borrowed a Canon. When viewing my Nikon Raw images in Bridge, I am able to see the Images. But when I try to view the Canon Raw Images, all I see are Icons. Is there a setting that allows me to see the Cannon Raw Images?
    I am using Windows 2000.

    You did not include enough info to comment.
    What version of Bridge, and what model of Cannon camera?

  • Need help with cannon RAW photos

    Please help- let my employee go and nearly 100 photos of my products were left on my hard drive, but I can not get them to open.  They are somehow jacked up (show a different icon than they did).  They have no previous version, and absolutely NOTHING I have tried to open them will work.  Would someone be willing to test one to see if they can figgure it out?  Or, has anyone fixed this problem before?

    You are a genius! Now that I understand that those are support
    files, and know what I am looking (at) and for- I found all the photos.
    She left us in quite a mess- both with the photos and our web page so
    thank you again for helping. Feel free to let me know if you need

  • A Question about RAW and Previews

    I have just recently starting shooting in RAW (mostly for the post production editing abilities - I am an avid amateur photographer bent on learning as much as I can). I set my camera to capture in RAW + L. I don't know why I feel like I want it to capture both the RAW and JPEG file, and thus leads me to my first question: Is it necessary to have the camera capture both the RAW and Large JPEG? I am assuming the answer to be no, as I am sure if after importing the RAW file into Aperture, you could always export a JPEG if you wanted one? So no need to fill up your internal memory (if using managed masters) with the extra JPEG? Is this thinking correct?
    Next, if you do import RAW-only files and then want to export certain images, do you have a choice to export the original RAW image? It seems that it only allows you to export a JPEG Original Size. To answer my own question, perhaps you have to export the Master in order to export the full RAW file when exporting? If you want to export a JPEG, you have to export not the Master, but a version of the Master? Is this correct?
    Lastly, I wanted to ask a question about Previews. I have my preferences set so that previews have the highest quality with no limits to size. What is the significance of setting it this way? I just assumed that if I wanted to share an image at the highest quality without exporting it, this was the way to go. Is there any validity to this? The reason I ask is that I don't want to have all of these high quality previews taking up internal disk space if I really don't need to. Is there a way to change the preview size once previews are created? Meaning, if you have it set to generate low quality previews, can you change it dynamically to high and vice versa?
    I know this is a lot in one post. Thanks for tackling it.
    Mac

    You can change the quality of the Previews in the Preferences -> Previews tab.
    You can regenerate Previews with the Delete and Update Previews under the Images menu.

  • Question about RAW to JPG file sizes

    Hello all, I have a question/concern in reference to file size changes when converting from RAW to JPG formats in PSE6. I've recently purchased a CANON 50D, and have started shooting in RAW format (actually RAW2+JPG). I have the CAMERA RAW 5.2 plugin and my workflow process is something akin to this:
    1. Separate all RAW and JPG images into their respective folders.
    2. Open the RAW folder in BRIDGE, and then open up a CR2 file. CR2 file is approx 15MB at this point, as reported in Finder.
    3. Perform various corrections in ACR52 to the file, then do as SAVE AS to a DNG file.
    4. Next step is to OPEN IMAGE, bringing it up in PSE6.
    5. Make any necessary corrections to the picture, and then do a SAVE AS to a new file name and folder, selecting JPG format.
    6. Selection MAX QUALITY from subsequent dialogue box, and SAVE.
    When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
    I've been doing some reading on this over the weekend, but cant explain away the severe loss in file size, and whether this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong in the process.
    Appreciate any advice or suggestions to help improve my work processes, and ultimately the final photos!

    Regarding your file size questions, have a look at this thread and see if it answers some of your questions:
    http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/741532/0
    > When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
    Dimensions and resolution are related and multiple combinations can be produced from the same number of pixels. For example, your 50D at maximum image size produces 4,752 by 3,168 pixels. This full-size image could be printed at:
    - 19.8 x 13.2 inches at 240 PPI
    - 47.52 x 31.68 inches at 100 PPI
    - 7.92 x 5.28 inches at 600 PPI
    As you can maybe see, talking about dimensions and resolution doesn't make much sense until you are ready to consider printing. Note also that I used "PPI" or Pixels Per Inch since this is the slightly more correct terminology. DPI or "Dots Per Inch" is usually a reference to how a printer lays down the ink drops onto the paper. Many printers actually put more "dots" on the paper than there are pixels. Many people and companies use DPI when they mean PPI.
    Now in your case you are apparently starting with an SRAW2 raw file. SRAW2 files from the 50D have a reduced number of pixels and are 2,276 pixels wide by 1,584 pixels high. At 240 PPI this would allow you to print the image at 9.9 by 6.6 inches. If you are ending up with something smaller than that, it means you have either re-sampled the image (changed the image so the same image is displayed with fewer pixels) or you have cropped the image.
    Hope that helps.

  • General question and RAW Files

    My apologies if this has been asked before, or if this is in the wrong forum, but I just couldn't find all the answers that I was looking for by searching the forums.
    I am getting ready to purchase a new Mac Pro for my wife (and myself of course) because she has really gotten into digital photography. In addition, she has asked for a new high end Camera. Something that would let her enjoy her hobby to the fullest. Now I have a couple of questions I'm still looking for clarification on.
    1. What exactly are RAW files, most of the other terminology she has thrown at me I have found the answers too and think I now understand. I am getting the feeling this is something that I should understand based upon what I have read but I just havn't found a clear definition.
    2. Is there a good website that I can use to help educate myself in order to make informed decisions in purchasing a new camera and helping make full use of the new mac. I enjoy the help of the forums but I don't want to waste anyone's time when I can just 'RTFM' in a manner of speaking.
    I have already bribed her to buy the mac, however I ask these questions due to the fact the camera is a surprise for her b-day so I don't want to just start asking her questions and give it away. I want to make sure I get the right camera the first time around.
    Thanks for the help!

    A raw file in essence saves the information differently, so you can make a photo mistake (underexpose for example) and correct it within reason on your computer. with other formats ie. jpg you get what you get, the information is embedded into your file and you really can't change anything. so if you have a really red photo, take it out in raw, but in jpg you can take it out but then it will replace with green. hard to explain the numbers are set in jpg, not so in raw. Or the underexposed example, in raw you play with the numbers and it can still come out good, in jpg format you do the same thing and the photo would lose crispness, lose saturation, and color, and would probably come out looking washed out.
    There are standards starting in the RAW arena DNG and most programs do support it. and it is the way to go if you are considering high end photography, amatuer or not.
    my latest complaint is that i was trying to utilize my TIFF files made from a raw format for some of these quickie projects. I'm having a bit of an output problem here with iphoto. But once solved will probably be fine. but no matter i would want HIGH input, so there is plenty of wiggle room for whatever output.
    I have a D70 nikon... takes only 6.1 mp shots.. works great for my usage for now. cost is in the $1500 range. Best advice is pick a brand and stick with it. because once you start buying the lens's to go with the camera they don't alway work on other new digital bases from different brands. anything SLR is going to give you the same feel shooting from an old film based SLR. Some lens's will swap out. My old flashes from my older cameras work fine in digital.
    No matter what you get, shooting in raw format takes up space. minimum 20mb per photo. retouch resize, and resave and you can get larger. And although the iphoto 6 does seem to be able to handle the large requirements, it seems they can't handle the quality that goes with it on the output end. Knowing what your output is going to be is important when managing your files (my newest lesson learned).

  • CS4 working with cannon raw (.CR2) extremely slow

      Hello,
      I am hopeing there is some one that can help me or point me in the right direction. I am useing Photoshop cs4 extended on a windows xp home edition. When I use CS4 to open a raw file from a canon 50D CS4 slows to a crawl, and by crawl I mean it freezes when I try to shift the photo in any direction. It stays frozen for as long as 30 to 45 seconds, then will adjust the photo. If I aply a corection such as brightness useing the adjustment brush. it can take 30 or more seconds before cs4 is ready to do anything. I noticed that it will max out my processor ( pentium 4 3.01 Ghz with hyperthreading  ) for the 30 plus seconds it takes to get ready to do anything. I understand that my system is not the best, but I feel it should not be haveing the major problems that it does. I will include some more info to try and help any one that wishes to help. system: windows xp home with all the latest updates. Intel motherboard with intel 3.01 processor with hyperthreading. 2 gigs of PC 2700 ram. windows swap file and CS4 scratch file (cache) are on a second hard drive. 1st hard drive contains aplication files and most of the photos. both hard drives are defragmented on a weekly basis. I keep my system running with just the basic files for the operating system, and when online I only have a firewall running on top of the browser. I have upgraded cs4 with the latest updates. As I mentioned, I know my system is not state of the art, but feel it should do a lot better then it is. CS4 does pretty good when opening large .PSD files and does well with most actions etc.  Thanks in advance for any help that is offered : )

  • The question about RAW datatype in VBA with OO4O

    Hi all.
    I have developed a sort of VBA program with oo4o.
    When I issued "select rawtohex(saddr),saddr from v$session where rownum < 2" and I displayed the result on excel spread sheet.
    The result was below.
    RAWTOHEX(SADDR)      SADDR
    C0000000E14ADDF0     &#65533;
    I found I couldn't display a raw datatype result without using RAWTOHEX function.
    But, I query the table using "*",such as " select * from v$session" sometime. So I have to display the raw datatype result without using oracle function.
    I heard that the "RAW" datatype is a array of byte, so I used byte array.
    The following is my first idea and the result is wrong.
    The result is 'FF000000......', not 'C000000....'
    Is there any good idea?
    Dim oSession As Object
    Dim oDatabase As Object
    Dim oRs As Object
    Dim cntCol, cntRow As Long
    Dim rowNum, colNum As Long
    Dim sraw() As Byte
    Dim k As Integer
    Dim hexaString As String
    Set oSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set oDatabase = oSession.DbOpenDatabase(gTargetServer, gUserID & "/" & gPasswd, 0&)
    Set oRs = oDatabase.DbCreateDynaset(gSqlString, 0&)
    cntCol = oRs.Fields.Count
    cntRow = oRs.RecordCount
    ReDim resData(cntRow, cntCol) ' the variant type array to store result
    'To store column title.
    For colNum = 0 To cntCol - 1
    resData(0, colNum) = oRs.Fields(colNum).Name
    Next colNum
    'To store data.
    For rowNum = 1 To cntRow
    For colNum = 0 To cntCol - 1
    Select Case oRs.Fields(colNum).Type
    Case 11
    sraw = oRs.Fields(colNum).Value
    For k = 0 To UBound(sraw)
    hexaString = hexaString & Hex(sraw(k)) '<= here.***********
    Next k
    resData(rowNum, colNum) = hexaString
    Case Else
    resData(rowNum, colNum) = oRs.Fields(colNum).Value
    End Select
    Next colNum
    oRs.MoveNext
    Next rowNum
    I hope I get helps.
    Bill.

    But, I query the table using "*",such as " select * from v$session" sometimeCan't you use
    select rawtohex(saddr) hexaddr, t.* from v$session t
    (if you really need '*' ) ?

  • Quick question re raw editing

    I understand from reading around that when you import raw images files into iPhoto, it keeps the original raw file in it's library, but it automatically converts your edits to a saved jpeg.
    What's throwing me, is the filename. When it's originally imported the filename is DSC_9999.NEF. I then make some edits and the filename stays the same. After I've made edits however, is the file I'm looking at actually the automatically saved jpeg? If I right click and export to Flickr using FFXporter, am I exporting the raw image or the Jpeg? I'm thinking its the jpeg, but it's kept the filename ending in .nef, which is somewhat misleading?

    Thanks, ok, this makes sense. So once I've imported my raw files into iPhoto straight from my camera, iPhoto has already converted them into jpegs for me? It's just not that clear because from what I understand it's keeping the original filenames eg DCF9999.NEF which are the RAW files from my camera, and the files I'm looking at in Photo have the same filename and extension, ending in .NEF, but at this point they are already jpegs?
    Are there any settings where I can control how iPhoto is creating the jpegs (compression level etc)? I've looked but can't find anything obvious.

  • Newbie question on raw adjustments in LR

    I am just trying to get a handle on how lightroom works. If I make adjustments in the Develop module are the adjustments made to the RAW file itself or are the adjustments written as instructions within LR. When I use ACR in bridge I notice that I can then open lightroom and SEE the ACR adjustments. Is the same thing happening in LR
    I am asking this because I started using Aperture but did not like the fact that I could only see my adjustments from within Aperture. Is lightroom better at handling this??
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    >>You don't NEED to output to jpeg or tiff...
    Don't follow you. You don't output the file? You just view it?
    >>You could edit, have those edits written as metadata to file... and print all in LR... then go back to same exact file and reset it to its exact original state.
    The edits are applied to the original data while the data is sent to the printer.
    >>plus these edits are all virtual... you can edit the crap out of a jpeg (without exporting)
    Yes, and that's very useful and a reason why metadata edits are so cool. Of course, one could say you could do the same thing using adjustment layers on a JPEG. There's just a much larger overhead for each and every layer.
    >>the old Save As method required multiple copies of the same image eating up hard drive space, and cluttering folders.
    Yup although again, with layer sets, you could build a dozen different renderings and turn them on and off in any combo to see any set of corrections. Laborious compared to metadata editing. None of this of course is non destructive to the final data.
    Now things get interesting with DNG if and when one can build multiple rendering instructions inside this format. Far more useful for raw but hopefully where we'll go in the foreseeable future. Embed multiple rendering sets ala Layer Sets inside the DNG but without the massive overhead.

  • Question about RAW+JPEG in LR 1.1

    Hi,
    I just want some information on how LR handles the JPG+RAW files.
    1- When I look at the picture in LR, do I see the JPG or the RAW? (because the JPEG I get from my D50 is more punchy than the RAW, so I want to know which one I see)
    2- When I want to modify the photo, do I work with the RAW by default (I suppose)?
    3- Can I choose which one I'm looking at or working on?
    4- Let's say I haven't got the time to work on the RAW and I need to send the pic. Can I decide to export the JPEG (with the punchy colors)(and resize it) or LR will automatically export the RAW?
    5- Is there any advantage (in 1.1) to use old way (separate folder for RAW files, to have both in LR) than the new JPG+RAW capability?
    Thanks a lot again,
    Dany

    Here's some info regarding this from Mete Atamel, engineer on the LiveCycle Data Services team:
    When shared-backend=true, a single consistent view of data is guaranteed but this is not due to the shared-backend property itself but rather the fact that when shared-backend=true, there's a single DB used by multiple instances of LCDS.
    Imagine the scenario where you have two LCDS nodes in a cluster with two data management destinations, one on node1, and one on node2, and they are clustered (via JGroups). You can have those destinations maintain their own DB, and when a change happens in one node¹s destination, the other node's destination gets a JGroups message and updates its own DB. This works but it's not ideal because at a given time, you¹re trying to maintain the same cluster state on two different DBs and there are times when the connected clients do not get consistent view of the data.
    Instead, you can use a single DB and have the two destinations talk to the same DB, so you have a single consistent view of the data. When this is possible, you enable shared-backend property in LCDS destinations, that way when one destination updates the DB, and sends a JGroups message to the other destination, the other destination does not  try to update the DB again, instead it simply passes the update message back to the connected clients without sending it to the adapter.

  • Beginner question about RAW/DNG files and Aperture + Adove

    I used to use Microsoft Expression Media. When I would edit a .DNG file in Photoshop and update the sidecar or JPEG preview, EM would show the .DNG with the new adjusted preview in its catalog.
    I noticed Aperture 3.0 doesn't read these adjustments from my .DNG files. Is there a way to get Aperture to properly read my .DNG files?
    Conversely, when I make RAW edits in Aperture, can I view these on the .DNG master in Photoshop? How?

    Adrian:
    I have been using DxO Optics Pro in conjunction with Aperture. The easiest workflow that I have found is to run the images through DxO before bringing them into Aperture. I have DxO export the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs. (Sixteen-bit TIFFs are really big.) I, then, import the TIFFs into Aperture. There are two disadvantages to this approach: I do not get to bring the original RAW file into Aperture and using DxO on all images, even those that turn out to be rejects, takes a lot of time.
    I have also played around with adding images to Aperture, exporting masters before doing any Aperture image manipulation, running the exported images through DxO, exporting the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs and reimporting the TIFFs into Aperture. This can be done without Catapult. I think the advantage of Catapult is that it will automatically stack your processed TIFFs with the original RAW files in Aperture. The advantage of this approach is that I can use Aperture to decide which images I want to process in DxO. Remember that DxO will not see any work that you have done on the image in Aperture; this is why I do my DxO work before doing any Aperture manipulations.

  • 2 questions about RAW

    I'm switching to shooting in RAW (Nikon D80) and read in The Missing Manual that the Photo Downloader in PSE7 may have trouble bringing them in from my card. Barbara suggests that there are other ways to do this and that they can be found on page 40, but I can find nothing there. So...
    Does the Downloader work satisfactorily if I bring back a card with, say, 100 images on it? Or what is the best way to get them into Organizer?
    After you've worked on your RAW images, what file format is best to save them as? Seems silly to save as JPEG unless they're going on the web. But what about TIFF? I see there's an option to save as Photoshop RAW.
    Will appreciate any thoughts and opinions.

    Hi, Jack. You can just use windows to import your photos to the computer, then use Get Photos>from Files and Folders. The problems with the downloader and raw have nothing to do with the number of images, only with the fact that people have more odd situations with raw than with other formats, particularly if you shoot raw + jpg. If you find that the downloader works for you, then it's fine to use it, but just be sure you're getting all the photos every time you download.
    You can save your processed raw images in any format that the editor supports, so TIFF or PSD are both good choices. Photoshop Raw is an older Photoshop format, meaning raw PS data, not really an image format. Don't try to save anything as that.

  • Upgrade Question re Raw

    I have been using PSE5 for quite a while, but I have just bought myself a new camera, a Canon Powershot G11, which of course has the ability to take raw photos. I've not has a camera that does raw before, so it's never been an issue.
    I'm not completely up to speed with how this all works yet (I only got it yesterday), but I think I'm right in thinking that special add-ins are required for handling raw files in PSE.
    I may have misinterpreted something somewhere, but the first 'Camera Raw Update' plug-in which supports my new camera is version 5.6, which is shown as being 'not compatible with versions of PSE earlier than 6.0, so it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade my version of PSE.
    First of all, am I correct in my interpretation as above? And, if so, will I need to buy the full product PSE8, or will the upgrade version accept PSE5 as a qualifying product?
    Thanks in advance.

    I haven't verified the information you quote, but assuming it is true, you will need PSE6 or later.
    There is no difference in the upgrade versus full versions of PSE. Except the price. Get the upgrade.
