LR3.6 failing to view Raw images on Canon 5D

Hi, I've just installed LR 3.6 on my new Wins64 laptop and it is unable to view RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark1. This is working fine on my Win32 PC though. It looks like I need to install Camera Raw 5.2 or later but I can only file 'Update' downloads which fail to install. LH says it's up-to-date when I check for updates and theres no Plug-In Extras available..
Any Ideas anyone?

Lightroom does not use the ACR Plugin but uses the same process engine which is built in. LR 3.6 is the equivalent to ACR 5.6. If you installed from the CD check the Menu > about to see if you actually have version LR 3.6 installed it should also say the ACR 5.6.
The Lightroom downloads are available at this link.

Viewing raw images

I have photoshop elements nine and have had no problem viewing raw images when i use my compact flash, but i recently purchased a camera that uses sd cards and when i load them i can't see the images only a white sheet with a turned down corner. I need to figure out how to view these images in bridge as well.

I don't think card is doing anything here. Which camera is this? Every version supports a limited number of raw files and new cameras are supported by latest Adobe Camera Raw. Check out following to know more - http://bit.ly/IUMGIc
Latest ACR version available for PSE9 is 6.5

Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

Hi:
When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
Thank you!

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

MacBook Pro Retina "Gets Hot when viewing RAW images"

MacBook Pro Retina Gets really Hot when viewing RAW images - somebody has this issue? Solutions?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, download Temperature Monitor and tell us the temperatures of the MacBook > http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
The MacBook Pro with Retina display is made of aluminum, so it's normal that it gets hot. However, if the temperature inside is very high, fans will turn on automatically. If this doesn't happen, it may have a hardware problem

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

Cannot view raw images in iphoto 11

Hi there, I have just upgraded to a new imac running Mountain Lion and iphoto 6.
Now I can't view the latest raw images I have taken (on my canon eos 550D) - When I scroll through the images they appear for a second or so, then they disappear and are replaced with empty boxes with dotted lines around the outside, when I double click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
?? Any idea why this is happening? I saw that my camera is one that is supported by iphoto so am confused as to why this is happening.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
Marion

I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
Thanks for your help.

Viewing RAW images from a Canon 450D in Aperture

I am obviously missing something. When I try and view my RAW images from my 450D, I am just seeing a blank black screen. Any ideas what I should do to view them properly.

Apple's list of supported cameras is at
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Historically Apple loses market share due to poor support for newer cameras.
Workarounds include shooting RAW+JPEG and just using the JPEGs until Apple gets to supporting your camera or using Adobe's RAW to DNG converter. Apple canread the DNGs.

Viewing RAW images in Aperture

I cannot find a similar discussion so I'll post this.
I cannot view RAW files in Aperture since the 3.5 update to 10.9. The files import correctly and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess. I have created a new Aperture library and still the problem persists. Is anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?
Thanks

Chris,
try two things:
use the command "Photos > Reprocess Raw" from the menu bar
and use the command "Photos > Generate Thumbnails"
It looks like the thumbnails of your imported images are broken.

and then when I try to view them in the viewer they turn into a scrambled mess
Is your scrambled mess red and blue? Have you perhaps enabled "View > Highlight hot and Cold areas" or "onscreen proofing" with an unsuitable color profile?
Or any presets interfering? Raw decode preset, or an effects preset in the Import panel?

I have Photoshop Elements 9, just installed Lr and can't view RAW images. help please?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and I can't view my RAW images. How can I view them?

you can update your pse 9 and hope for the best, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and you can always use dng converter.
or specify your camera so we can determine whether that will help and if you need a dng converter link, indicate your os.

LR3 Hang On Editing GF1 raw image

I am getting repeatable hangs in Lightroom 3 while editing an image. The hangs are seen in both LR 3.2 and the LR3.3RC running 64 bit on MacOSX 10.6.4.
The hang occurs after manipulating a GF1 raw image. The edits are fairly basic - a small horizontal perspective correction, three clone patches applied and then while brushing filters using the auto-mask option to adjust saturation.
Eventually, LR will hang - CPU bound saturating both cores at 100%. A trace with Shark shows the CPU load is dominated by two anonymous functions in CameraRaw and luaF_recfillpcbase.
At this point, the UI is completely unresponsive and the only way to recover is to force-quit Lightroom and restore the catalogue from backup.
Anyone seen this before? My suspicion is that it is specific to GF1 raw files with perspective correction applied. Any suggestions as to how to work around it - it is currently leaving Lightroom completely unusable for me!
Thanks,
-- Mark

The computer is a new 17" MacBookPro with 4GB ram. This is not the world's fastest computer, but neither is it a slouch and it is well above the minimum requirements to run LR. I do get major performance issues if I have a lot of brush edits (LR uses up all the DRAM and the whole system falls in to paging hell), but in this case there is almost no editing before the program locks up in what appears to be an infinite loop of some kind.
I think that there is something definitely screwy with Panasonic raw files, however. We have quite a few different cameras, and the Panasonic files seem to consisently cause more slow downs than other raw files of comparable resolution - noticeably when applying perspective correction. This is true even when the memory footprint hasn't gone crazy.
As an aside, I am not very happy with LR3. When it works, the results are great. But I seem to have hit far more bugs in LR3 than I ever saw in LR2 (collection sorting, publishing bugs, the assorted crop control irritations).

Only thumbnail image appears in Viewer; RAW image inaccessible

I import Nikon D200 RAW images into Aperture project. The thumbnails appear in Browser as normal. I try to view them in the Viewer or Full Page and I only see the thumbnail sized images; and I cannot make adjustments, print or otherwise process the RAW image. The full 15mb NEF image is visible in Finder in the referenced file on the external hard drive and I can access it in Photoshop CS3, but Aperture does not access the RAW file. I have rebuilt the library and created a new library, but the problem persists. Help!!!

Do the thumbnails have a yellow border? If so, type a "P". You're in Quick Preview Mode.

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.

Opening RAW images from CANON D7 in photoshop? bridge?

Hi everyone,
First of all, i have no idea were to post my question so im very sorry if its in the wrong place....
I have just bought a new camera which im very stoked with! A Canon D7. Guess if i was surprised when i couldn't open my raw images in photoshop! I work in CS3 and i really need to be able to open the images in Brigde and then Photoshop. And not having to open them in Canons software first.....
So, is this possible or has this expensive camera made me disappointed?
Very grateful for answers,
Cheers Anna

I have a 7D too. Here's the thing. The 7D has been supported for weeks now, unofficially, in the Camera Raw 5.5 release. It was unofficial because they hadn't finished profiling it yet. Adobe has released an update, Camera Raw 5.6 beta, that you can download. But since it's still in beta, it is not available from the normal public site. You have to get it from Adobe Labs, here:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/CameraRaw5.6
Unfortunately, I see that you're talking about Photoshop CS3. Adobe only puts out Camera Raw updates for the current version, CS4, so you won't be able to use Camera Raw 5.6 in CS3. What you want to do is go to the same link and instead, download the DNG Converter. Once you run your 7D images through the DNG Converter, they will be in DNG raw format, which Photoshop CS3 can read, and so can Aperture and OS X.
At least Adobe is telling us where they are going and how ready they are and letting us download something that can read the 7D raw files. Apple has had no update available of any kind, and no advance word at all.
Since you asked where you should have posted, there are a number of Photoshop forums out there and the are all aware of the situation. For example you could go to Adobe's forums, or many photography-related forums like dpreview.com. These Apple forums are more likely to know about Aperture and iPhoto.
