Either Aperture or Leopard doesn't support Canon 450D .CR2

I've imported a number of images from my wife's Canon 450D (Digital Rebel XSi) and while the images shot in JPEG alone are fine, the ones shot in RAW+JPEG are replaced with the red "unsupported image format" warning. These images show fine on my wife's mini (also running the same OS version, but iPhoto '09).
However, while the CR2 files from my 40D and CRW files from my venerable D30 display in Finder, the 450D's CR2 files are black. The JPEGs shot at the same time do display in Finder, however.
I did try deleting the duplicate JPEG images but that made no difference, and I have no tildes in the folder name.
So, given that Leopard does support the 450D's CR2 (wife's computer), and that the problem only exists with the camera's RAW files on my computer, I guess this means that there's something wrong with my install of the OS or Aperture. I don't really want to go down the route of converting to DNG, so other than that any suggestions?

The functionality for your camera was added way back in +Digitical Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1+ (we're now on 2.7 so this would have been quite a while ago.)
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL61
It would have shown up as a Software Update to the operating system itself (because the same update provides RAW support for both Aperture and iPhoto.)
Check "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software". You should see a list of all the software updates ever installed on your computer. It's probably easier to click on the column heading "Name" which will cause it to sort the updates by name (instead of by date installed which I think might be the default.) then scroll the list to search for "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" to see if you can find any version number which is 2.1 +or later+ (2.7 is the most recent).
If it's not installed, run Software Update to add it. If it shows that it is installed there may be a problem with your installation. You might try re-installing.
I did notice that the minimum OS requirement show that if you're running Leopard then your OS version needs to be at least 10.5.2 or later. Is there any chance you've not kept up with patches to Leopard (which would cause Software Update to skip applying the Camera RAW update)?

  • Canon 450D CR2 Files compatible with Photoshop Elements 7?

    I have recently bought a Canon 450D camera and have noticed that the RAW CR2 images produced are not compatible with my Photoshop CS2 version. I'm not sure about upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop since I probably wouldn't use all the features but I would probably upgrade to Elements 7. Is Elements 7 completely compatible with my Canon CR2 files and has anyone else used this combination and been impressed with the results?
    Thanks.

    The 450D came out after CS2 was obsolete so you need at least CS3 to read 450D RAW files.
    Elements 7, being the current version, would support the 450D RAW files; however, I use CS4 and LR2 with my RAW files so cannot say how good PSE is or isn't.
    The other option is to convert the RAW files to DNG with the latest free DNG Converter and then use CS2 with the DNGs.
    If you have a dual or quad-core system with at least 2GB of memory, I'd suggest using Lightroom.

  • Advanced RAW processing which doesn't support Canon 350D RAW?? Surely not??

    I am the owner of one the most popular DSLR's there is - wanted to make certain of compatability prior to purchase and found marketing material specifically naming my camera as supported (Rebel XT - same thing). Now seething owner of a $699 pretty software that is of absolutely no use to me. Tried update 1.01 with hope, only to be crushed again! Have seen some references to how to fix it oneself with administrator access but don't want to mess with it and, frankly don't think I should have to. Does anyone have a suggestion/knowledge of when the Canon 350D is supported? Feel like bringing the box back to the store and shove it down someones throat. Like buying a potato peeler which only peels oranges. Seriously ******!!
    Imac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Really, you're asking for support of a low-end
    consumer camera in a pro app.
    Surely it would be nice to have that support as I
    expect that some folks use the rebels as backup gear,
    but it should hardly be a priority in this app.
    However, since iphoto uses the same converter, and
    since iphoto really really should support the rebels,
    I'm sure we'll see support for this camera appear in
    aperture one day.
    That's such a total canard. OSX should be striving to support just about everything out there like ACR just about does and I consider CS2 and ACR a heck of a higher level of "pro" app then Apeture. I don't want some elitist deciding what's "pro" equipment and what people "should" be shooting with. That's why I switched to Mac in the first place. I just want it to work. I don't want some equipment snob deciding what takes "professional" pictures. It should strive to support just about every raw format.

  • Aperture 2 Rendering underwater sunburst wrong - Canon G10, .cr2 RAW format

    I've noticed that when Apple's Aperture 2 displays my underwater Canon G10 RAW pictures of sunbursts - picture of the sun taken from underwater - they are rendered wrong with a dark ring around the burst and are really blown out.
    See link to photos of what I mean:
    http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/canon-corner/308952-aperture-2-1-4-w-canon-g10- raw-sunburst-render-wrong.html#post4794371
    Both photos use default settings, the "aperture214_g10RAW.jpg" was exported using Aperture 2.1.4 while the "photoshopCS4_g10RAW.jpg" was exported with Adobe Photoshop CS4.
    Anyone have problems with this? Is there a setting I need to change to get it right?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the help.
    Below is a link to my website where you can download the .cr2 file. I zipped it up. Please let me know what you find out. I also tried converting the file to .dng with Adobe's converter and still get the same look with the Apple interpreter.
    In Aperture I tried tweaking the RAW, white balance, highlights, recovery, hue boost..etc but can not reproduce what it looks like in the Photoshop render.
    Let me know what you can do. File is 13mb.

  • Does Elements 12 support Canon 70D RAW files?

    Elements 11 doesn't support Canon 70D RAW files. Is it possible to ugrade, or do I have to purchase Elements 12?

    Sorry but I do not understand what XP or Vista has to do with my question. Stated another way, my question is, does the version of ACR that comes with the version of PSE 12 that is available for purchase at this moment definitely support Canon 70D RAW files? 
    FWIW, I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bit so PSE 12 will run on my system.
    Thanks.

  • "Canon SLR EOS 40D"  *Aperture and Canon's CR2 RAW files not supported.*

    Hi,
    I just started playing with Aperture, and with my brand new *Canon SLR EOS 40D* camera. One problem, Aperture is not recognizing the RAW file format. I am using RAW Fine**-L. Even with that it doesn't even see the JPG shots in Aperture. Went to the Canon site and it shows CR2 format. IPhoto 08 sees the JPG files just fine, It also sees the RAW files just doesn't know what to do with them. I know that RAW files are not supported on IPhoto 08. The camera is only been out a few months, but still lost on why Aperture doesn't support the format. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance....

    For some reason or another Adobe Photo Shop 7 is no longer supported in Leopard. When you lunch Photo shop 7 in Leopard. You get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a Program error. Photo Shop will now exit." even if you reinstall the program, still you get the same error. Photo Shop 7 is Not the latest and greatest, but in most cases, that is all you need. Not sure if they plan on a fix, so for now I put that program on a shelve.
    Hope that helps

  • Aperture 2.1 doesn't lift Raw Fine Tuning for Canon 40D

    Anyone know what's going on here. I can lift all adjustments including raw fine tuning with all my cameras (Canon 1D Mark III; 1Ds Mark III; Mark IIN) except for the 40D. For some reason when I click the Lift button on 40D images the Raw Fine Tuning option in the lift hud doesn't appear. Only Adjustments, Main Rating, IPTC and Custom. I've tried quitting Aperture and restarting. I've also tried rebooting. Problem persists.

    First, make sure that you are using full RAW files not RAWs. RAW s is a smaller size setting in the camera which has not been supported by Aperture in the past. Second, try rebuilding your Aperture database. I have a Canon 7d and use RAW. It works fine on my system. You can try reinstallation but if your problem is the RAW version or your database, reinstallation will not address the problem.

  • Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

  • I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5.  This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3!  which I have.  What to do??

    I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5.  This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, so I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that in order to upgrade, I need Aperture Version 3, which is what I have.  What is one supposed to do??

    Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
    Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

  • Video does not play: "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format......"

    Error message
    "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format or the content doesn't match the extension"
    I have both a Yoga and a Thinkpad 2. The Yoga is running Win 8 and the Thinkpad 2 has 8.1 Preview.
    I have copied multiple video files which are in either .avi or .mp4 containers.
    Some will play and some will not. I have installed all sorts of codec packages and players and the problem is the same. I though it might be a container problem so I tried to convert the file and the converter I used did not work.
    Searched the Internet and nothing really useful was found.
    Then I discovered a common thread. In the files that played, the codec information displayed when checking in properties and the ones that did not play, did not have the information.
    I have a video file on a USB flash drive and checked the properties and the information was there and I could play it from the flash drive. I copied it to my desktop and the file would not play. In checking, the codec information was not present.
    There seems to be an error in copying files where the requisite codec information is not being transferred.
    I have tried this multiple times and multiple permutations of transferring. Sometimes it will play from the desktop and will not play after transfer to the microSD card.
    Each time when it plays, the information is there and each time it does not play, the information is not there.

  • Why aperture doesn't support Fujifilm S100 FS Raf?

    Dear Sir
         despite of the fact that has passed five years since when the above camera has been released, your program Apple Aperture (now on 3.4 version) doesn't support his RAF file format. Why? Instead I've noticed that you have given support for the RAF of other fujifilm camera.
    I hope that you'll integrate the support as soon as possible.
    Thanking you in advance,
    Giuliano Zanzi

    Guiliano,
    this is a user-to-user forum.
    And it is not guaranteed that Apple will hear you here,
    You'd better use the feedback form to send your feature request directly to the Apple developer team:  Apple - Aperture - Feedback
    Regards

  • View pivotTableView!1 is either missing or doesn't support this format

    I have request with pivot table which is once displayed as bars and once (duplicate view) displayed as pie.
    I used view selector to let the user select which view he desire to watch.
    Suddenly, after it already works fine, when I changed the view selecotr from the (default) bars view to the pie view, I get the following error message:
    'View pivotTableView!1 is either missing or doesn't support this format'
    When running from Answers design view of the same request, it runs fine.
    There is no issue regarding the data, since the bars view is displayed ok.
    Does anyone know the meaning of this phenomena?

    Hey! Did what I say work? If so, then it would be nice to indicate so and award points (click "correct" on top right side of my previous post). If not, what did you end up doing to fix your problem? Again, it would be nice to let us know.
    Okay, you marked the thread answered thereby closing the thread, but you didn't answer my question. What worked? (And as a courtesy, mark my post "correct" or "helpful" as well as the thread itself, if what I said gave you the solution.)
