Import problems with Canon 1Ds Mk3 raw pictures

Lightroom 2 does not recognize any raw files from my 1Ds Mk3 - says "found no files to import". It does recognize jpg, though. Lightroom acceps raw pictures from my other camera body, the Canon 1 D Mk3.
Any pictures imported from these cameras are upside down in the import preview mode but correct after import. The same goes for my Canon G10 camera as well.This upside down phenomena was not any problem with LR 1 - came with the release of LR2.
Any suggestions out there?

The problems occur only when importing directly from the cameras

I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but don't do that! When you d/l from a camera, the OS gets involved in ways that it doesn't when it's seeing merely an external drive, as it does when you use a card reader.
If you have to d/l from the camera, put them into a directory, then disconnect, then Import.

Fundamental importing problems with Canon PowerShot

when i connect my camera, a Canon PowerShot SD300 [digital elph] to my new MacBook Pro and turn the camera on, it opens iPhoto [6.0.6] and asks if i would like to import photos. i click "import," and tell it not to import duplicates. it tells me the count remaining and says its importing. i can wait any length of time and the number never goes down.
it has sort of successfully imported photos in the past [hence the 'do not import previous' above], but it seems to skip some photos and also downloads the same movies [avi's] each time.
is this bizarre behavior common? thanks for any help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)

Dan,
There is a problem with iPhoto 6 not respecting the "do not import duplicates" when importing directly from cameras. It obeys better when importing from a folder already on your hard drive.
iPhoto can also balk at longer video clips. I can import shorter clips (under 1 minute) directly into iPhoto, but have had iPhoto crash with long (3 minutes or more) clips.
Here's how I import from my Canon. I place the card in a USB card reader. This mounts on the Desktop as an external drive. [Many cameras do this, but most Canon models do not.] When I plug the card reader into my USB hub, I ignore iPhoto's "ready to import" dialog. Instead, I do File > Import to Library. I navigate to my camera card on the desktop, where I can preview the photos and select only the ones I need to import. I import all the pictures first. When they are in my library, I go back and select the video clips, one at a time. It can take a few minutes to import one, and there is no progress indicator, so I have to wait patiently.
If iPhoto crashes on the video clips, I open Image Capture, choose "Download Some" and select one clip at a time to upload to my Desktop. Given enough time, the clips will import successfully. Once on the Desktop, iPhoto has not had any trouble importing them.
If you don't have a card reader, you can use Image Capture to import all the files from your camera. Upload to a folder on your Desktop, then import that folder to iPhoto and delete it when done. In Image Capture's Preferences is the setting for what happens when you connect your camera or card reader. You can leave it set to iPhoto, change it to Image Capture, or set it to Nothing.
If you have had to cancel an import, then there may be an extra folder inside your iPhoto Library folder. In the Finder look just inside Pictures/ iPhoto Library and see if there is a folder called "Import" (or "Importing"). If there is, drag it out to your Desktop and see if it contains photos that you need for your library. Make no other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as changes made this way can damage your library. If there is no Import folder, then you are in good shape.
Regards.

New to apple, not a techie. importing problems with canon hv20 - new imac

hi team
i'm just starting out, and have honestly tried to look through the boards, but its just to much stuff to read.
i'm trying to import minidv tapes from canon, newer tape recorded on the canon imports ok on manual.
older tape recorded on an older canon around 2004-6, which plays in my new canon ok, apart from its not wide screen in the lcd, wont import.
what's the difference between my new wide screen tape, and my older recorded tape?
my imac is great, but the tutorials to get started with are smooth and basic, and assume you have no porblems.
thanks in advance

thank you for your time team.
why isn't imovie clever enough to receive my older tape which i guess isn't digital? its hardly ancient technology or tape. if my hv20 plays it, why doesn't imovie just receive it?
to me its all just movie footage, i'm confused as to why it doesn't give me options or ask me question's about what i'm uploading...
does imovie only work with digital footage?
cheers

Canon 1Ds MK3 & Lightroom

When will Adobe issue the update to enable Canon 1Ds MK3 raw files to be imported into Lightroom?

Lee;
I hate to sound pessimistic, but what kind of value can you put in a highly parsed statement like the one to which you linked?
This is a *response to a blog comment*. Hardly a formal statement of policy. It is not even clear if the comment applies to *all* adobe products, or just CS3 and RAW. We can certainly *infer* this applies to lightroom. . . .but that is all we can do.
I would like to thank you for linking to this blog. This thread was very interesting. The adobe crew has quite the task laid out for them. Not only do they have to fix the V1.0 release (with all the warts we have been talking about), but they have to keep up with pace of technology. i.e.; the release of Vista and the RAW 4.1. Hopefully, "bug fixes" and "code optimization" have not taken second seat to the technology updates.
But the bottom line is simple: Four monthes and Adobe is not even confident enough to announce *timing* for an update.

I have a problem with Canon PowerShot SX 60 Hs-camera with Camera Raw, I cannot open the pictures taken in raw mode. How can I update Camera Raw? I also tried with Photoshop Elements 13, but it was the same, I could not open raw pictures.ts 13

I have a problem with Canon PowerShot SX 60 HS-vamera wirh Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements 12, cannot open raw files. I have the newest version of camera Raw plug in, whats is the problem?

It is on our radar and hoping to add it in an upcoming update.
As soon as it is available, it will be update in the below article.

Problem with Canon RAW 5D/7D Raw file and Magenta highlights

Hi everyone,
I've noticed a problem with some Canon RAW nightly shots when in scene are present magenta spotlights (also red and blue):
In the core of light, magenta color become "solarized" and white burned, and there is no way to recover it with any Adjustments. (also but in minor way, Red and Blue lights)
Opening the RAW file in Canon Digital Photo Pro the same images are perfect:
(left image Aperture3 - right image Canon DPP)
Any suggestion?

I have exactly the same problem with the 7D RAW files. I have tried Leopard+ Aperture 2, Snow Leopard + Aperture 3 trial and nothing makes a difference. Horrible magenta colour cast on the neutral tones, yet the blues are over-saturated and total lack of sharpness no matter what you do.
I shot JPEG (neutral) and RAW together so know what they should look like. I don't get any problems with Canon DPP software so the error seems to be in the Aperture RAW converter. The issue seems to be more apparent in low light or images with a lot of neutral tones, other images shot outside in good light appear to be pretty much ok. I even tried the latest version of Lightroom and that can't seem to handle them well either.
The link below was a thread that was running on the 7D problems, but no solution was ever provided.

Problem with Canon EOS 5D MK II & LR 2.2

Good day! I love LR. I've used it very successfully wih my Nikon D-80. I've recently purchased a Canon EOS 5D MK II & upgraded to LR 2.2. I've got an issue with importing RAW images. None of the 3 RAW sizes are recognized by LR. When I go to import the images from device, the RAW picture files are displayed as gray blocks with no picture detail. Check marks are still there and I can go through the motions of importing, but there is always an error message that the files are unrecognizable. I would hate to start shooting in JPEG again. Does anyone have any advise that may help?
Thanks ahead
Rich

Try using a dedicated card reader instead of importing directly from the camera.

Problem with Canon LPB 6670,

Hello, I have problem with Canon LPB 6670, while printing both sides the paper is jammed every time

First clarify this statement...
I captured video, and when I went on FCP and did log and capture, it said the camcorder was offline.<</div>
Have you already captured with this camera or are you trying to capture with it now?
If you're trying to capture with it now, are you capturing to an external harddrive? If so, the problem may be because you're overtaxing your FW bus.
If you're not already, you might try capturing to your internal (so the iMac is only accessing the camera on the single FW bus), then transfer the media to an external to edit.
Does the iMac recognize the camera? (check in System Profiler)
Is the camera in playback mode?
Have you tried shutting down and making sure your camera is on before opening FCP?

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

Raw file rendering problems with Canon EOS 5D in Aperture 3

Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I have had serious problems with the rendering of Canon EOS 5D (not Mark II/III) RAW files. With Aperture 2, both the preview and full-sized images looked basically the same as the original images as displayed on the camera's display, without any adjustments.
With Aperture 3, each preview images initially look fine after import, but when Aperture re-renders it from the RAW file (e.g. when displaying the full-size image), the colors are drastically intensified, and the hue is shifted generally towards green/blue. I've checked the RAW Fine Tuning, and it is set to the defaults. If I turn the default RAW Fine Tuning settings all the way down, the image is still not at all like the preview from the camera - it becomes much darker and stays too blue/green, with washed-out colors.
A friend with a Canon EOS 5D MkII also recently upgraded her Mac from Aperture 2 to 3, and hasn't experienced any problems. We've tried importing RAW files from my (non-MkII) camera to her Mac (with the default RAW Fine Tuning settings), and get the same results as with my own Mac (i.e. strange colors), so the problem seems to be related to the camera model.
I've also noticed that scanned greyscale tiff images (including images that were originally imported under Aperture 2) are changed when first displayed by Aperture 3 - they become darker and more contrasty, with lots of information lost in the shadow areas.
I've also tried removing Aperture preferences, Aperture itself, and re-installing from download, with no change in the problem. (Aperture is the current latest version, 3.3.2.)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I'm having the same problem.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.3.2. Workflow is importing through Canon's DPP and then using referenced images in Aperture. The images look great in LR4, or Canon's DPP but are flat and dingy in Aperture.
There's a free preset that goes part way to fixing it at http://theapertureblog.com/2011/02/10/my-aperture-workflow-for-working-with-cano n-5d-mark-ii-files/
but as good as this fix is, it doesn't quite do the trick. [not being a hater, and not saying I can do better]
I just got back from shoooting 1,500 images with a 5DMii and a T2i using Canon 24-105L IS, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.8 and a Sigma 120-400 and the T2i images are not just better, they're in a different league.
I've tried shooting in Faithful, Neutral and also toggling these presets in different ways and still can't get Aperture to match what I see on the camera's screen or in other Apps. I love the interface and DB of Aperture, but what's the point of using it if it doesn't produce and awesome image in the end?

RAW Processing problems with Canon 5D Mark iii

I am having problems with the RAW files coming from my new 5D Mark iii in Aperture. I have the latest version of Aperture (and update) installed. Selecting a picture style on the 5D doesn't seem to yield any results because when I import the photo into aperture all the images go very dark. I have to pull the exposure levels up all the way to get a decent exposure. The histogram on my camera looks perfect but when imported into Aperutre the histogram changes. I have my custom picture style set to give me a very flat image (contrast off, sharpening off, saturation -2, color tone 0). The images looks very flat and perfect in my LCD but once imported into aperture the RAW processing makes it very dark. I even tried shooting the exact photo in three completely different picture styles but they all look identical once they are in aperture. What's going on??

Here is a side by side comparison of a RAW image in the latest versions of Aperture and Lightroom. I have never had these issues with the 5D Mark II only the Mark III. As you can see Lightroom produces a nice flat image while Aperture is under-exposing the image. Any thoughts? I really want to continue to use Aperture but with my recent camera upgrade to the Mark III I don't see how this is possible. Anyones help would be much appreciated.

Problem with Canon G12 RAW file

I'm very disappointed because I can't use Lightroom with my new camera! I have this issue since LR 3.3. and CR 6.3 started to support Canon G12's raw file. Any raw file is decoded incorrectly, picture is grained, it has a lot of noise at any ISO (even 80 or 100). The defect is noticeable only at 100% zoom, not at 50% or other sizes.
I tried to do also a clean installation of LR 3.4.1 and CR 6.4.1 but the problem persists. (I use LR 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit; with PS 12.1 64 bit I have the same problem)
Yes, the camera is ok, and with Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.10 all is perfect, the same picture is amazing.
Is there any solution please?
Thank you!
Davide

It may be that DPP knows how much default noise reduction to apply to your G12's raw images and Lightroom doesn't.
Can you adjust LR's noise reduction sliders to get a better image? If so, you could make that amount of reduction a default.
If that doesn't work for you, could you post a sample raw image somewhere that we could bring it into Lightroom and see what you are writing about?

Problem Using 420EX stobe with Canon 1Ds

I am trying to use my 420EX mounted on my 1Ds camera. The camera triggers the flash but the pictures are dark or the flash has no effect on the exposure. I used normal and high speed sync but nothing helps. The flash works fine with other cameras, namely 40D, 50D and 60D. Is something wrong with my 1Ds or is there a camera/flash setting I'm overlooking. This is a big problem because the camera does not have a built in flash like the others mentioned.

Hi rsknorr99,
Thank you for posting. I am inclined to agree with cicopo on this one. Please make sure the flash is all the way onto the hotshoe and it is secure. If it is loose, then there may be a connection issue between the flash and the camera. You can also try cleaning the contacts on both the flash and the hotshoe with a soft microfiber cleaning cloth. This will also help to improve the connection between them.
