Monochromatic Canon RAW pictures not imported correctly in iPhoto?

The Canon cameras have a setting to create only a RAW format of a picture (no jpg is created). I'm able to import the picture into iPhoto but the original custom settings are lost. For example, I took pictures on the programmed mode on monochromatic but the pictures are imported chromatic so the B&W effect is lost. The thumbnails in Finder do show the B&W picture for the RAW files.
How do import these RAW files so the iPhoto creates a jpg with the original settings (monochromatic) ?

There's no such thing as a monochromatic Raw. A Raw is a sensor dump from the camera. Your camera has an RGB sensor and shoots everything in colour.
What the mono setting does on your camera affects only jpegs. What you're seeing in the Finder is the Jpeg preview built-in to the Raw as an icon.
So, put simply, if you want to shoot B&W, shoot jpeg.

RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

Michael
I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
Hope that helps.

Photos not importing correctly to iPhoto library

I just realized that any photos I have been importing to the iPhoto library from somewhere on my hard drive rather than from an external device/camera have NOT actually been imported into the library, rather are still linked to the original file. This means that iPhoto can't always find the correct pathway to the correct file -- and it has backfired on me big time in that I ordered a $50 book and one of the images was wrong. Right thumbnail, but wrong actual photo, because the link had been lost. Beyond the aggravation that my book is now messed up and I apparently can't do anything about it since it's been more than 90 minutes, I want to fix this so that my iPhoto library is accurate and it doesn't happen again. I have been going to File - Import to Library, but it doesn't. It just links to the original file, which then can't be found once I reopen the program after quitting. Any advice? This only started happening since upgrading to '09, by the way.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

Places not imported correctly from iPhoto into Aperture 3

Hello,
I'm a first time mac user and have recently installed Aperture 3. I already had an iPhoto library setup with all my events metadata filled out, including faces, places and event descriptions.
Upon importing my iPhoto library into Aperture 3, the faces were copied over, but none of the places or event descriptions were imported.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is there a way to pull this across after the import, or should I just delete the aperture library and try again. Ideally, I'd like to avoid having to manually add all this information again!
Thanks in advance for your help.

A photo that was rotated in iPhoto will also show up as iPhoto edited.
This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15586837#15586837
Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images. Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images. More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews. The master was a 25MB RAW image.
I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thank you.

Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

PDF's not importing correctly

I am using CS5 on iMac 27" quad.
I am trying to import a PDF into Photoshop.
But it is not importing correctly.
The PDF is a label template, which prints perfectly from the PDF.
But when I import it into Photoshop, the dimensions change.
So the text boxes for the labels don't align up correctly to the label sheet.
The top label is OK, but the boxes keep moving to the right, so that top label in column 5 is a 1/4" off to the right. The labels seem to be "traveling."
Vertically, the same thing is happening.
Row #1 is OK
but by the end of the page, Row #5 is 3/8" off the page.
I have disabled all printing options: no auto-center; no fit to page; no scaling.
The printer software should not be adapting the document at all.

IPhoto does not import correct pictures

Using either my Canon camera or IPhone 6 plus, when I try to import new photos to my MacBook Pro, everything in the process works fine, the selected pics appear to be importing correctly and show up on the import screen. But when the import is finished and I am prompted to keep or delete photos from the camera or the IPhone, after I select one or the other, a set of the same number of pics show up on the Last Import screen but they are a completely different set of pics from what I imported; they appear to be randomly selected from my library of past photos. And, the pics I actually imported are no where to be found in my photo library. And, when I click on Last Import from the tab list, all I get are these random set of old pics. Frustrated! Any ideas?.....thnx.....Lew

Not sure how to rebuild IPhoto once I've done the alt key and command key re-launch of IPhoto....
Did you hold down the alt key and command key together long enough? Hold the keys down, until you see the First Aid Panel.
Only then let go of the keys and click "Rebuild Thumbnails", and if necessary the other options Larry recommended.

AVCHD 24P Cinema mode not importing correctly

Hey,
I have posted a few times about this issue, and each time I get a little closer to solving the problem. I am hoping this is the final time.
I have a Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD9 Hi Def video camera. I recorded a comedy show of mine the other night, and when I try to import the footage into FCP, the audio and video don't sync.
After many troubleshooting experiments, I figured out that the audio is importing at the correct rate, but the video is not.
The video was shot in "24p Cinema Mode" I shot some "bs" footage both with this mode on and this mode off. Whenever it was on the footage would be imported at 24fps and the audio would get out of sync. Whenever this mode was OFF, the footage would import at 29.98 fps and everything will be fine.
I really feel I am just missing something simple like a drop down menu option or something, but just can't figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.

To be very clear, for this 7.1 release, we are only supporting CinemaDNG media from the Blackmagic Camera. No other format is being supported at this time. The pink overlay problem with DNG derived from Canon RAW media is a known issue.
We are currently in discussions of how to expand our CinemaDNG support going forward, and user input is a vital factor. Nonetheless, Premiere support for the CinemaDNG format is different from the support in other Adobe applications. For more on this, see the section "Enhanced BlackMagic Cinema Camera support" at this link:

IPhoto '09 not importing correct time on photos

I am using a Canon PowerShot S95. I've check the time in the camera and the time on my computer. When importing pictures from the camera to iPhoto, iPhoto does not use the time my picture was actually taken. I looked at the extended info to check the original time and the digitalized time. These times match but are incorrect as to the when I actually took the picture. This throws off the date. The digitalized time and original time will show 3:13:11 am. It is way off. I don't take pictures at 3am! So the problem of sorting picture with keywords and using the date separates the pictures incorrectly. I was sorting using keywords Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. Pictures taken the same day were separated to different events. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone help me.

iPhoto gets the time and date from the Exif metadata of the photograph. This is written by the camera. You may not have taken the photo at 3 am, but the camera thinks it was 3 am when the shot was taken.
You can correct the date and time using the Photos ->Adjust Date and Time command

Aperture 3.1 can't find/see my Canon RAW files when importing

Aperture 3.1 cannot see my CANON RAW files when doing import!!!
Do I really have to re-reference each image in the library if I have moved the library to a different volume? Images are not moved to the library, only referenced.

You don't want to re-import files if you move the library. You just need to reconnect the masters.
If you moved the whole thing over at once it should be easy; if you monkeyed with the folder names you could have a lot of work on your hands.

RAW files not importing

Hi
I have lots of RAW images taken with a Canon G2 which iPhoto 6 doesn't import for me when I drag the files over. The camera is on the famous list of supported cameras (http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html). Why might these files fail to import?
Thanks

This is not a case of iPhoto stopping importing. It has failed to recognise my G2 RAWs from the start. As RAWs from my other cameras are OK in iPhoto it seems I am not doing anything wrong with RAW files generally. OSX and Preview both read my G2 RAWs, so there is nothing wrong with the files. But, iPhoto does not read them and – whatever the list of supported cameras claims – my G2 RAWs are clearly not supported by iPhoto.
I have searched the forums thoroughly without a sniff of a solution. That leaves me looking elsewhere than iPhoto for a program to make a complete catalogue of my images.
Unless someone has a fix...

RAW Images not importing

I have iPhoto 6 (ver 6.0.5), I also have a Canon PowerShot G2. Recently I started storing the photo in the RAW format for later editing. I checked to make sure iPhoto supported my camera using the RAW format and it does. When I try to import the images it will always give me a prompt saying it cannot read these files (they may be an unrecognized file type or they may not contain valid data). The extension to the file is
" .CRW ".
How can I fix this?

Raw Photos not importing

Shot some photos on Raw with a Canon 60d. Transferred them to an external drive. Premiere Pro CC does non see the files. Can not import them. Only way was to convert them to tiff files. Should I had shot them in Canon RGB?

Not surprised. NLE's have been designed primarily to work with files that compared to stills cameras are "low res" ... but voluminous in number. NLE's have to handle thousands of images on the fly, that need de-compressing not just individually but whole groups "share" bits & pieces though perhaps in different places as subjects or camera move during a scene.
A D800 can produce relatively a MASSIVE single image file. It's a very different thing. Doing that much scaling on the fly is yes, a stretch for most NLE's. I'd also note that I've heard and seen many comments about the re-sizing of still images not being a strength of NLE's as compared to say Photoshop. So it is recommended that still images be sized per the sequence they'll be on before being imported. The exception of course is if one is doing the "Ken Burns" effect, and either panning across a section of a still image over time or zooming in or out over time. Yet even then it is recommended to figure out the largest image size you'll need and re-sizing to that in a stills image editor.

Canon MG3550 is not working correctly

Hello,
I have recently bought Canon MG3550. I installed the driver etc but the printer is not working correctly. Sometimes it prints without any issues but other times it:
- does not pick the printer - saying it's offline even though it's not (this is from laptop, iPad, phone...not just from one device)
- does not print - the error message appears after a while saying that the printer is not responding
- prints half of the page...or just picks up a paper but doesn't print at all
I tried to de-install and re-install the driver etc. but it did not help. The printer is still behaving the same unpredictable way.
Do you have any ideas how to solve it? It is a faulty device or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you

Your tags show iPad. You need the iPad 3 or newer in order to have Siri. What iPad do you have?
There are a number of apps that are compatible with Word....Documents to Go, Pages, Quick Office Pro .... You need an app that will read, save and Word files on the iPad and if you don't have such an app, all that you can do is email the file and read it in the email. You will not be able to save or edit the files.
After you download one of this apps, you can use email, DropBox, and IOS file sharing in order to transfer the documents back and forth. You can use iCloud as described above with Pages or any other app that works with iCloud.
