Eventual Support of Canon sRAW files?

Hi all, any idea when Apple/Aperture will support Canon sRAW format? I just got my fancy new 5D mark II and get "Unsupported Image Format" and a beautiful burgundy screen when the download completes. Thumbnails yes, actual images, no.
I'm in the midst of choosing a post processing and filing program and at the moment Lightroom is winning...

For what it's worth, I'm in exactly the same situation with the same camera and created an account to ask the same question only to discover that you had already asked it. So, thank you! I have been using sRAW for shooting events where I can stand to sacrifice some resolution to gain the extra low noise performance, and I've been very happy with the results.
I have already sent my feedback to Apple, and now I'm hoping for an Aperture miracle before my 30 day trial period on Lightroom runs out. I really don't want to have to buy LR2 just so I can process sRAW. One possible alternative would be using DPP to convert sRAW to TIFF to read into Aperture, but that makes workflow more cumbersome.

  • Support for Canon raw files in panther and iPhoto

    I can't get iPhoto 6 to import the raw files (.cr2) from my Canon 400D.
    I can use image capture and also Elements 4 with Raw support, so I am not sure if its the operating system level (panther) or something else.
    I did use iPhoto with my previous Canon with .CRW files and that worked fine to import them, organise them and then edit etc externally in Photoshop.
    Is there any way out there to do this without upgrading the OS or iPhoto, I appreciate I have a way to continue working but miss the convenience of the easy import.

    Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

  • Does premiere elements 13 support canon mov files?

    Does Premiere Elements support Canon mov files or must I convert the mov file to a different format first?  If I have to convert the mov file first, what file conversion program should I use and what file type should I convert it to?

    Howard Scheer
    Thanks for the additional very helpful information.
    Two concerns in your case...
    1. Canon 70D and its H.264 intra frame compression. Please refer to the following
    current thread on the color fade of the exports of the Canon 70D footage
    export quality
    2. Premiere Elements 10 on a computer with a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card
    is bad news. The typical fix is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. But, when the
    computer operating system is Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, often there is not an older enough driver
    version to revert to in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to display and work properly.

    Also see Announcement at top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    You should not expect to run into this problem in Premiere Elements 13. But, go tryout before purchase
    to assure the compatibility of the program with your computer environment and project goals.
    Please review and consider and then we can discuss your situation further.
    Thank you.

  • When will Adobe be able to use Canon SRAW?

    I just installed Camera Raw 4.2 but it still does not open Canon Mark III SRAW files. When will Adobe be able to open these files?
    Please respond Adobe staff.

    I'd really like to know the reason why sRaw isn't supported as well.. as I've been expecting Adobe to get it working. If they can't for some reason, I'd settle for an explanation, but the rest of us are holding our breath waiting for this to be supported.
    I was on my way to posting this question myself today, but found I'm not the only one. If it can't be done, or the developers just don't want to support it for one reason or another, just tell us! I'll move on and except it.. but SOME response to the user community would really be appreciated.
    I know this is the user-to-user forum, but there doesn't appear to be a user-to-developer forum for camera raw.. so I'm left whining to you folks.. :/

  • Support for Canon G9?

    Does anyone know when Apple will support the Canon G9?
    Just got my new camera, plugged it in and iPhoto '08 (v7.1) did not want to know about the CR2 files. It accepted the jpegs from the G9, but not the raw files.
    Thanks everyone.

    Okay, off topic now, but anyway...
    The G9 is a great little camera. I personally think the 12Mp sensor is a bit optimistic for the sensor size, but so far the pix are excellent. I try and keep the ISO to 80. This is a lot easier than it was with my old film camera (EOS 30) shooting Fuji Velvia at ISO 50, especially with the G9's image stabiliser. I was surprised at the edge to edge sharpness especially after a little sharpening in PS. I only bought this model because it supported RAW format, my first point and shoot digital camera. This camera has been built for the photo enthusiast as many of the controls eg, fstop, shutter speed have on-screen sliders that look very similar to the graduations on a 35mm camera. Also I love the live view histogram and the manual focus is now a dream. So many nice features about this camera. I will still use my EOS10D for 'serious' landscape work, but I am sure now that I have this little item I will be taking many more photos and not missing out on those 'once-in-a-lifetime' shots.
    It's a real pain that OSX does not yet support this camera. I find that iPhoto is a really neat little program for storing all of my images, even though I process all my stuff in PS. I also have Lightroom, and I am particularly peeved that Apple has 'consolidated' the iPhoto database into one package. I was using Lightroom to reference the older version of iPhoto, and now it (LR) cannot access the database.
    I know you can open the iPhoto 'package' but this is a manual finder operation. Don't know how to make Lightroom get into it...yet.
    Before you ask. Tried out Aperture. Yes, I would love to use it, but contrary to what Apple will tell you, it does not run with any ease of use on my 2GHz G5 iMac. Gave up after two weeks of frustration with it. Far too slow to the point of being unusable. Annoying really, because I really like the tight integration of Apple products. If Adobe can make Lightroom run on my 'older' machine, and quickly, why cannot Apple make Aperture do the same?
    Enough ramblings. Apple will probably terminate this thread now anyway, Too many off-topic items.
    cheers

  • Lost camera raw support for canon 1ds markI in mountain lion

    I seem to have lost system support for camera raw files for the original Canon 1ds (what you might call the markI). There's been two recent raw support updates, and I'm not sure if it occured with the first for those two updates or with update to Mountain Lion itself (which I recently clean-installed). I noticed it after the first raw support update (Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01) but it could have happend with Mountain Lion install and I just didn't notice. In any case, I definitely don't have support for the camera raw files, finder shows only the generic TIFF icon thumnail (the raw files from the markI 1ds were of the extension .TIF, before canon moved on to .cr2 format..). Preview and Aperture can preview the file but without any custom white balance or other info stored with the raw file from camera.
    Anybody else experience this or know fix?
    Thanks!
    For anyone wanting and willing to test on their machine, I'll post a link to a test raw file.... hmm, apparently this support forum does not allow for the linclusion of a link to an image file, but I'll see if it allows for a link to a zipped folder with image inside... I suppose I wouldn't download a .zip file myself but for anyone braver than I:

    Thanks,

    Lane,
    That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
    I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
    Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
    I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
    Not much help, I know.

  • Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

    Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store.  This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
    I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII.  This will be a VERY popular camera.
    More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software".  When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII.  I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
    So after my little rant.
    Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
    Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester.  I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing.  I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
    Kind Regards
    Tom Croll

    Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product.  Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
    I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released.  I have been in the software development game for 35 years
    But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc.  As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into.  I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models.  I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
    Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
    To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable.  Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
    In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files.  But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
    There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support.  Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models.   Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
    I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe.  In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management.  I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.
    Kind Regards

  • How can I get support for Canon Powershot S110 in CS5 Photoshop?

    Does anybody know how to get support for using raw files created by Powershot S110 in PS CS5? PS CS5 does not open them and requires an update. However, this camera is not listed in the description of Camera Raw updates (the top model of this series is S100 in the list) and the latest update is also not compatible with CS5.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Since photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7 and that camera needs at least camera raw 7.3, you'll need the 8.6 adobe dng converter to convert the canon s110 camera raw files to dng copies which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.
    For windows xp, vista or mac os x 10.6.8 use the 8.3 adobe dng converter

  • How do I open .CR2 Canon Raw Files in PS Elements 8 for iMac

    When I open a .CR2 Canon Raw File (Canon T3i camera) in PSE 8 for iMac, I get all greys - no color.  It is showing as color as a .CR2 on my desktop - when I bring it into PSE, it is grey.  I chose first 16 bit, then 8 bit.  Same result.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.  George

    Thank you Barbara for pointing this out. Since I'm new to forum stuff so missed the catch here. Got exactly same information as you posted. Got to know that ACR 6.2 doesn't support T3i files. It's ACR 6.4 which supports them but is incompatible with PSE8 ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html ).
    So the solution seems to be either upgrade to a newer version of Elements or download the free DNG Converter ( http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html ) and convert the raw files to DNG.
    Thanks again for correcting me here

  • Canon RAW files

    Is PSE 12 compatible with Canon RAW files? I have just bought a Canon 5d Mk III and PSE 9 doesn't recognise the RAW files. I need to be sure I can convert my RAW files in PSE 12 before I upgrade. I also had a similar problem with PSE 9 crashing every second time I opened it and when I tried to back up the catalogue. Took the advice about creating a new catalogue and it seems to have fixed the problem.Now I have to work out how to back up the old file.....

    While Photoshop Elements works with Raw files, each new camera requires updates to the Camera Raw plug-in. To work with the Canon 5d Mk III you need Camera Raw version 6.7/7.1 (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html).
    Not all versions of Photoshop Elements will work with all versions of the Camera Raw plug-in. To use the Camera Version 6.7 you need Photoshop Elements 10. To work with Camera Raw 7.1, you need Photoshop Elements 11 (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html).
    So Photoshop Elements 12 will be able to work with this camera straight out of the box.
    To work with this camera in Photoshop Elements 9, you would have to convert your raw files to DNG with the free DNG Converter.

  • Canon sRAW to DNG Size Question

    Hi,
    I shot some images with my Canon 40D set to sRAW. A sample image size is 6.1 MB. In Lightroom 1.3.1, I convert the RAW (.CR2) file to DNG. The resulting DNG file is 6.7MB in size. The DNG Creation settings I used in the conversion were:
    JPEG preview: None
    Image Conversion Method: Preserve Raw Image
    Options: Compressed - ON / Embed Original Raw File - OFF
    I was under the impression that DNG format would be smaller than the RAW format.
    Is this larger DNG file because my original RAW file was a compressed RAW file (sRAW) and, as a result, the RAW image needs to be uncompressed before it is converted into a DNG file? If the original RAW image was NOT compressed, would I be seeing a reduction if file size after the DNG conversion.
    I guess the heart of my questions is this: Will conversion from RAW to DNG only provide a file size reduction if the original RAW file is uncompressed? Is it normal for me to see an increase in size when converting from sRAW to DNG, due to the fact that the original RAW file is a compressed RAW format?
    Thanks in advance for your clarification.
    Steve

    The reason for the larger DNG file is quite complicated, one needs to know some JPEG details. In short, the original sRaw file contains four 15 bit pixel values for two pixels, while the DNG file contains three values per pixel.
    The size difference would be much larger if the CR2 file did not contain a 050 KB large thumbnail, which is in the DNG file only between 100 KB abd 200 KB large (approximation).
    Plus, the DNG converter fine-tunes the compression; this is not affordable in-camera.

  • Aperture + Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E4 A?

    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if you could help me out with something?
    I have a Canon EOS 5D mkll and am looking at purchasing the Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E4 A, my question is, am i able to wirelessly tether RAW images using this transmitter directly to Aperture or do i have to go through Canon's proprietary software?
    Thanks in advance.
    Alan

    My guess is that you will see a wireless network in range using your Airport menu.  The Airport menu looks like
    .  If it is all gray and nothing is inside of it, then the network was not properly setup.  I do not have one, but if you tried to setup the network, and you can't see the device, then you might need Canon's support.

  • When is CS6 going to support the Canon 5D mkIII  .CRW

    When is CS6 going to support the Canon 5D mkIII   ??

    Jacquie,
    The Photoshop CS6 beta software has the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6.
    There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support.
    If you like to work with your 5D mkIII files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
    and convert your files to DNG.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    AVCHD from no manufacturer can be drag'n dropped.
    AVCHD has to be imported via 'from camera' to trigger iMs internal conversion routines.
    if your Canon shoots 60fps, this is not supported by iMovie (advice for iM11)
