It means that you don't have WRITE permission to the destination folder where the photos are supposed to go. Change your permissions!

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.

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

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

PSE 11 won't open CR2 files from Canon PowerShot G15.

I was interested in PSE 11 so I could use ACR 7.x to open the raw (CR2) files from my new Canon PowerShot G15 camera--but even after updating the files, PSE 11 won't recognize my camera! It's still not listed in the group of supported cameras on the Adobe website(s). This camera has been out for a few months (at least!), so it's unbelievable that Adobe still won't support those files. They only go through the G12, not up to G15.

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.

How do I import RAW (CR2) images from Canon S100 into Photoshop Elements 8?

From Adobe support I downloaded Camera_Raw_6_1.zip. Extracted files, cut original Camera Raw.8bi file and pasted in a new folder. Then copied the new version of Camera Raw.8bi into the empty file format location. Still get "Cannot open ...CR2 because it is the wrong type of file."
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
The Canon S100 wasn't supported until version 6.6 of camera raw and that isn't supported by pse 8.
You options are to either upgrade to pse version 10 or use the DNG converter

Importing scanned images from Canon MP560

First let me say, that I am technically challenged. I have a Canon MP560 printer. When I scan a photo, it goes to my PC in MP Navigator. The only way I can get it to iPhoto, is to drag it to documents, then drag it to iPhoto. There must be an easier way. Also, is there a way to scan & import multiple photos at once? I'm sure there are easy answers/solutions to my problem, but like I said, I'm not very tech savvy. I'd appreciated any suggestions. Thanks.

unfortunately these are totally a function of your scanner and the software you are using to scan - your best bet is the scanner manual.
Since you are scanning to a PC it is unlikely that any here in a Mac forum will have much information
Is your scanner a network scanner or is it just directly connected to your PC?
Can you connect it to your Mac? If so see if you can use the scan function in Preview to san
As to multiple photos - not easily - you can scan multiple photos as an image and then once that image is in iPhoto duplicate it once for each photo in it and crop out all but one photo in each copy so you end up with the photos individually in iPhoto

DNG won't convert CR2 files from Canon 30D

I have installed Camera Raw 2.4 and also DNG converter. But when I try to convert Canon 30D CR2 raw files the DNG converter simply says: The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files. Have also tried dragging an individual image onto the icon, as instructed, but get same message: Can anyone perhaps help? Thanks.

You should always use the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently the Adobe DNG Converter 5.3, available here:

Importing CR2/RAW from Canon EOS 20d

Hi!
I shoot RAW-files with my camera and recently bought Lightroom. My problem is that I can´t import my RAW files directly from the camera (Canon EOS 20d). I open the File meny < Import photos from device, but Lightroom can´t find any pictures on my camera although I know there are RAW files there. When I first import my photos to my harddrive and then import them into Lightroom it works fine but I wanna skip the extra import-step and just take the photos directly from my camera into Lightroom. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
(I have updated Lightroom to 2.4 and uses the most updated firmware to my camera.)
/J

Ok, thanks. I looked at other similar problems on the forum and they also recommend a card reader so I guess I just have to go and buy me one. If anyone do know a solution to the problem without a card reader I would be very glad to hear about it. I mean, the Canon EOS 20d is a pretty common camera although it is a "little" old by now. But like you also mentioned, it could also be the OS update...
Friendly regards

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 can I do this in 4? Do I need additional software?

Just received our 5DS Mark III and as I understand it you need LR4.1 RC2 to read the RAW files, downloading it now to give it a try.

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

Can't import CR2 images into PHotoshop Elements 9

Please could someone help me with importing CR images from my Canon S120 camera...it just says doesn't recognise file type?

You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
