Importing RAW images from Canon 450D SLR

I run iPhoto 6 and I have recently updated my digital SLR from a Canon 300D to a 450D. I was able to import CRW Raw files from the 300D but iPhoto will not import Raw images from the 450D (jpegs are ok), which are now coded CR2 instead of CRW. I note that there is a Raw image software update, available but this is only for iPhoto 8. Short of updating to iPhoto 8 is there another solution?

I was afraid that might be the answer, but many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Regards

  • Import raw images from canon eos 1000d to aperture 3

    Raw images from Canon EOS 1000D appear garbled tried using  all (?) import methods without success. Camera on firmware version 1.0.7
    HELP!
    Geoff

    Running Aperture Trial 3.1.2  all updates completed.
    May have solved one problem & got another!
    I can now import RAW images by selecting 'Raw' rather than 'Raw + L' on camera menu.This leaves me with all large files - potential future storage problem.  Looking into this.
    Thanks for reply though

  • Importing RAW images from Canon EOS 550D

    I've used iPhoto 8 (version 7.1.5) with a Canon Powershot. Everything working fine.
    I just bought a Canon EOS 550D. Importing JPEG files is OK; But iPhoto refuses to import the RAW images from the 550D.
    How can I solve this problem ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera is new and not supported as yet by either Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475?viewlocale=en_US
    or Snow Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
    Evidently the camera is so new that even the Adobe Camera RAW converter doesn't support it yet - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    You'll have to use another application that does recognize that format or shoot the highest quailty JPEG the camera provides until support is offered.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Importing RAW images from Canon preserves settings.

    I'm somewhat confused with what I'm reading with respect to RAW being 'unaltered'.
    When I shoot RAW on my 5D, the camera settings (picture style - colour, contrast, sharpness etc.) are all seemingly retained when I import the images into Aperture. In fact, if I export versions immediately following a RAW import the differences in picture style are also retained in the subsequent jpeg.
    The exception is shooting in monochrome.
    My understanding is that RAW is an unaltered format. If that's the case, then why do I see 3 different images in Aperture if I use 3 different camera picture styles for an identical subject when shooting RAW ?
    It may be that all of the original information is still there, but the images do not appear 'unaltered'.
    Paul

    The raw you record on your memory card is the raw data from the sensor, but still with the attributes you have chosen. So the images sharpness, aperture and white balance etc are all controlled by you in many ways. Its a conscious choice on Aperture etc, but if playing with styles this is another method of offloading certain aspects to the camera. As you select different styles, within the camera it applies different settings eg. sharpness. This is no different to you changing aperture's between 'identical' shots. Its just another setting.
    At the end of you choices and you depress the shutter button, all your choices and camera settings are applied to the image data and you get the raw file. Including your Aperture and picture styles.
    When the raw is considered unaltered, it means the image from the sensor is not compressed in a lossy way like jpg. ie. the raw file is much bigger and contains data that you can push/pull to recover highlights/shadows.
    I don't have a 5D, but the picture styles are just another set of choices you make like shutter speed etc.

  • Importing RAW images from Canon S50 doesn't work

    I took some pictures with my Canon Powershot S50 in RAW mode but iPhoto '08 won't read them. Apple lists this camera as having a readable RAW format. What could be the problem?

    archived so no comments possible. Still doesn't work though.

  • I need to import raw images from canon Mark iii

  • How do I import RAW images from Sony NEX 5-R to iPhoto?

    I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2 and have installed Digital Camera RAW compatability update 4.01 but still can't import RAW images from my new Sony NEX 5-R digital camera.. any ideas? I also have Photoshop CS6 - should I import through that if iPhoto isn't a feasible option..?

    This is the list of currently supported cameras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
    Note: The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

  • I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df.

    Hello,
    I have a late '11 Macbook Pro that currently has OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto version 9.2.1  and for some reason I cannot import RAW images from my Nikon Df memory card. 
    I don't know if I have something wrong in my settings or if my current iPhoto and/or OSX needs to be upgraded.  Is there anyone here that would be so kind to help this technically challenged old man and tell me what I need to do?
    Many thanks!

    You'll need OS 10.9 Mavericks and Camera Raw update 5.0.2 and Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.
    The good news is that all those updates are free as you have 10.7.
    As always, back up all data before upgrading anything.

  • 1.1: stacking RAW images from Canon EOS 350D at import

    I'm noticing a strange problem with Aperture 1.1 and my Canon EOS 350D. If I shoot only RAW images and try to import, Aperture thinks that the timestamp of every image is the time at which the camera was connected. Obviously, this breaks the possibility of stacking before import. If I shoot JPEG, there's no problem, and using the Auto-Stack HUD after importing RAW images works correctly too.
    Anyone else seen this?
    Thanks,
    Fraser

    I wasn't using Aperture before 1.1, but I reinstalled from my DVD on a supported machine and the bug does occur.
    Strangely, if you open Image Capture before opening Aperture, everything works as advertised. It's only if you have Aperture set as the automatic application to open when a camera's connected.
    For any Apple people that might be reading, I've reported this as Radar bug #4515776

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

    iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

    I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
    I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
    I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
    I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

  • Problem with the RAW images from Canon 5d Mark III

    hope you are doing good. i need your opinion regarding a phenomena i am observing in the RAW images from Mark iii.
    The following images appear to be absolutely correct in the camera and when viewed through a picture viewer.
    I have tried and tested the following scenarios:
    1. Used a medium speed kingston CF Card (new) and transferred the images through the USB cable supplied with the camera.
    2. Thought the card might be slow OR faulty.. used Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro SD Cards but same result.
    3. Transferred SD Card data through the builit in laptop card reader.
    4. Have directly imported the images from SD Card into Lightroom 4.3, copied the data firstly to laptop HDD and then imported, copied the SD card data to an external HDD and then copied. .... same result!!
    5. Have tried the same with both Win7 and Mac OS.
    6. The DPP sw that came with the camera gives the error of 'Decoding Failed' with these images.
    Usually 10-15 images out of 100 give this kinda pattern. so i was hoping if you can guide me what is going wrong here !!!

    The camera and PictureViewer are likely showing you the embedded JPG, while DPP and LR are decoding the raw data which appears to be corrupted.  Assuming you have formatted your SD cards in the camera and the issues are always in the same positions in the same images when you transfer them multiple times from the card to different computers via different methods, then the data is on the card that way.
    If the embedded JPG is ok then the sensor is ok, so something between the sensor-readout and the storage on the card appears to be failing intermittently, and it’s time to talk to Canon, I think.

  • I'm trying to import RAW images from my new Fugifilm X-T1. iPhoto says the files are "unrecognizable".Any ideas?

    I'm trying to import RAW images into iPhoto from my Fugifilm X-T1 camera. I get a message saying the "file cannot be recognized". Any ideas ?

    Not necessarily.  Some  "glitches" were experienced by a significant number of users but not all of us, like the WiFi problem.  Those that experienced these issues did have a miserable time of it trying to get things right.  Personally I had no issues.  I did, however, boot into the Recovery volume after installing Yosemite and after each update to repair disk permissions and the disk.  There were a lot of permissions repaired each time.
    Remember millions have upgraded to Yosemite and the number of those having problems is probably a very, very small percentage of them.  That doesn't negate the problems they're having but sometimes overshadows the large percentage of those not having problems.  
    If you plan on upgrading to Yosemite do not run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" applications on your Mac or have any anti virus software installed.  Neither are necessary and are know to do more harm that good.
