IPhoto Canon G12 RAW

Hello,
did anyone know why iPhoto did not know the RAW files from my Canon G12 ?
JPEG files are no problem.

Apple needs to add support for Canon's G12 CR2 files. They recently did include support in iPhoto and Aperture 3 for the S95 CR2 files. I suspect they will come out with support for the G12 soon ([this camera came out approximately a month after the S95). Patience is all you need. In addition if you search this forum you can find several work arounds until they do which will allow you to edit this files.
Apple always supports all the RAW formats for Canon and Nikon files. It does take some time since they have to reverse engineer each new file format.......the RAW format is based on capturing 100% of the information recorded by the camera's sensor. Every time a camera manufacturer comes out with a new camera they tweak the sensor and therefor change the file format. Since the sensors are an important part of the improvements in image quality for each new camera, they treat this data as a "trade secret" and won't share the details with Apple, Photoshop etc. This forces Apple to have to reverse engineer their support every time a new camera RAW file format comes out.
Apple will include the G12 RAW files in Aperture and iPhoto.

  • Can't import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6

    unable to import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6 (Mac OS-X (10.5.8) - any ideas?

    You'll need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.5 - Search the Support/Downloads site for that.
    It still may not work. Iphoto 6 is an elderly piece of software now and predates your camera by several years. If it doesn't work you'll need to update to iPhoto 09 or later.

    No. You need to upgrade your software. ACR 6.3 requires PSE 9 or CS4/ CS5 products. Check this: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras

  • Canon G12 raw

    How do I read Canon G12 raw files?  I downloaded DNG converter 6.3.  Still can't read the files.

    6.3 should cover the G12, but there is no reason not to use the most up to date version.

  • Canon G12 Raw in PS Elements 6.0

    I have found that LR 2.7 will not support G12 Raw files.
    What is the situation with PS Elements?
    Which is the earliest version that will support G12 Raw files?
    Will the necessary version of Elements run on OS 10.4.11
    Will LR 3.3 run on OS 10.4.11?
    Mac OS 10.4   to    OS 10.6 on various computers.

  • Canon G12 RAW files not recognized

    The DNG converter V6.3 I just downloaded and installed does not recognize RAW files from my Canon G12.  Any idea why?

    I read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
    After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
    I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
    Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!

  • 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?

  • Why cant i import Canon CR2 RAW pic into iPhoto?

    Anyone know why cant I import Canon CR2 RAW pic into iPhoto???

    Although all Canon RAW files are are suffixed CR2, they are not all the same. In fact, each model of Camera produces a different RAW. What camera do you have? Is it in the Supported List?

  • Camera RAW for Canon G12?

    Is there currently no support for RAW images from Canon G12 cameras?  I'm not able to view the RAW images from my new G12 camera in Photoshop or Bridge CS5.

    The beta relaease of camera raw 6.3 supports that camera.

  • Canon S120 RAW images not working with iPhoto. Why.

    Canon S120 RAW images why they can't be downloaded to iPhoto and/or when will Apple upgrade iPhoto so they can?

    Raw Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. That's Model not brand. The Raw from an S120 is not the same as the Raw from an S110 and so on. This is a pretty new camera, and the makes don't supply the Raw decoding, so they have to be reverse engineered. Then that will be released as part of an OS or camera raw update.
    Let Apple know you want this camera supported.

  • IPhoto choking on  canon 30D raw files

    Tried to run a pro shoot through iPhoto but it appears to be choking on Canon 30D raw files (.cr2 extension). I'm getting an assortment of odd problems (missing or oddly rendered images, saves that never finish, sliders that take 30 seconds to move; times when moving the white balance slider has no visible impact on the photo) that basically have left me scratching my head about iPhoto (at least with Canon 30D raw). I was using features like Duplicate and saving edited raw files as TIFF but those are all documented features and so I would expect them to work properly.
    Is anyone successfully using iPhoto with 30D raw files?
    I have Aperture and it works great with the same set of raw files but iPhoto is so quick and easy (which saves time but also means that it's easier to get other team members involved in the workflow) that it's tempting to use it at least as the front-end for selects and preliminary development. Or maybe iPhoto is just for jpegs at the end of the day even though it does seem to have a fairly capable raw converter?

    Tried to use with Lieca Raw also errors.

  • When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files?

    When will iphoto accept Canon 40D raw files? I have a new camera and would love to use the raw files in iphoto. No luck so far. Aperature seems to lack the abilty to open them also. Anyone here as to when iphoto will be updated?

    Hi again.
    No, I don't use aperture, I tried the demo and liked it, but I'd previously bought the commercial version of Pixmantec RawShooter converter for my 10D - Pixmantec were 'bought out' by Adobe, and Adobe generously offered all RawShooter purchasers a free licence for Lightroom, which I also like a lot (though haven't fully got to grips with), so can't currently justify Aperture too.
    The one thing I'd say about Aperture is that the colour management for some reason just nailed the colours when printing using canned profiles, in a way other apps hadn't on Windows (including QImage). I was particularly impressed by this using an old Epson 1290S A3+ printer which always tended to produce prints with a colour cast.
    iPhoto seems to handle RAW conversions very well and simply, although it's not as refined as the high end apps. This together with organising features are probably what make you find it so easy. Remember though that when you display/tweak RAW files, iPhoto will be creating a file to store these changes as the RAWs do not get directly manipulated. As all this is done behind the scenes again this probably makes it seem easy.
    If you don't have Aperture or Lightroom, both were available for 30 day demo last time I checked.

  • I have CS5 and Elements 9.  Neither one will open my raw photographs from either my Canon EOS 6D or Canon G12 cameras.

    I have CS5 and Elements 9.  Neither one will open my raw photographs from either my Canon EOS 6D or Canon G12 cameras.
    Do you understand my problem?

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Both photoshop cs5 and pse 9 should be able to open the canon G12 files, but you probably need to update camera raw
    For cs5 go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs5 to get camera raw 6.7
    For pse 9 you have to download and run the installer for camera raw 6.5

    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5264
    mac:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5263
    For the canon EOS 6D you'll need the 8.4 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies which cs5 and pse 9 should open, since neither cs5 or pse 9 can be updated to the newer camera raw plugin required for the 6D files.

    Note:
    If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x 10.6, then you'll have to use the 8.3 dng converter instead of 8.4

  • Canon 10D RAW - Unsupported Image Format??

    I have a folder of 66 Canon 10D RAW (.CRW and .THM) images. After importing to Aperture 1.5 I get 'Unsupported Image Format' for 29 of the images. If I try and open one of these images from the Finder in preview I also get a 'Cannot open' message.
    Strange thing is iView Media Pro, RAW Developer, Canon DPP, Phase One C1, Photoshop CS2 and LightZone can all open and view these files! Only Aperture/OSX (Preview) is having the problem.
    Any ideas how to 'recover' these images to Aperture?

    You are indeed correct .... shame on me for not reading your post carefully.
    Since you have .THM files, are you pulling the images into Canon's ImageBrowser or DP Professional before Aperture vs. importing direct to Aperture? The reason I ask is that iPhoto, Preview and Aperture all failing to read the same image is clearly systemic not application specific. It points to some level of corruption - - - as far as OS X is concerned - - - of the image and is obviously not application centric, save where the application calls on the OS support systems.
    Is it possible for you to generate .DNG's for the "Unsupported" images and try importing these? It may be the CRW wrapper that is somehow unreadable at a myopically detailed level that other imaging tools blythly (and perhapds more appropriately) ignore. The DNG wrapper may allow the RAW content to be then read by Aperture.
    Hopefully this is a more helpful response.

  • Aperture 2 Canon G9 Raw problem

    If you have any raw files in Aperture 1.5.x libraries they should be deleted fist before upgrading. This images were not compatible in 1.5.x and cannot be read. I kept them in 1.5.x thinking when an upgrade would come they would then be supported.
    See intial post of the problem at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1408070&tstart=0
    The solution is as follows:
    Before upgrading to Aperture 2 back up your vault
    Then delete any unsupported raw .cr2 files that may be in the library.
    I tried exporting the raw files first before deleting them but files became corrupted. Try any way it may work for you.
    Back up your library again under a different name to a new vault. This new vault will ne all images minus the raw.
    You now will have to back ups of your Aperture 1.5.x libraries- one with raw and all other images - one of just your images and no raw.
    This is done just to be super safe.
    Make sure you have all upgrades of Leopard, Aperture 1.5.6 and Iphoto? loaded and running OK.
    Now insert you Aperture 2 dvd disk and follow the instructions to upgrade.
    All should go well with no worries off losing your images.
    Today I will try the new features of Aperture 2. So far it does seem to run a little faster.
    New raw files imported perfectly with no problems.
    Again the problem I had is related to Canon G9 raw files that are not supported im Aperture 1.5.6 library then upgrade to Aperture 2 and tried to rad them and open them in CS3 within the new Aperture 2 taking out all the other jpg image in the same project.
    Again for more detail on this problem read the initial post linked above.
    Enjoy and remeber always back up even the backup.

    Well, I really should pay closer attention to Apple tech support. The Apple document here is correct: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307342
    The solution is EASY:
    After importing a project with the Canon G9 RAW files into Aperture 2, they have incorrect aspect ratios, as we all experienced. I simply selected the distorted RAW files, chose File--> Migrate and checked the box to update my RAW files. Lo and behold! All fixed.
    No more problem.
    (I really should pay closer attention to what I read...)
    Hope it works for you.
