More RAW issues - Canon 300D

Just a quick search through this forum shows that others have had RAW conversion problems, I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture 3 from the App Store, the RAW files all look terrible - a red / pink cast which is impossible to fix. Has anyone else seen this with the 300D (original cheap DSLR from Canon). Just wondered. Thanks.

Bob thanks again for the quick reply. I tried your experiment and got the same result in Aperture, the red haze over two files which look great in iPhoto. I imported them into Adobe Camera Raw (the Photoshop Elements version) and they look fine in there too.
I don't know why but I just had a thought doing this, the older files came from my old Windows machine, where they had been stored in Photoshop Elements, and in the past I had converted them from Canon's .CRW file format to Adobe's .DNG format. I've just checked in Aperture, and it is indeed only these which are washed out - all of the Canon .CRW files look fine, it's the Adobe .DNG files which are a mess. I'll hazard a guess that Aperture doesn't support the Adobe .DNG format I have and that is the issue, but why they are supported in iPhoto and no the professional app I can't imagine. A call to Apple tomorrow morning is in order to sort this on out I think unless you or any of this excellent forum's followers can offer help. I'm going to post this DNG issue as a separate post just in case.
Thanks Bob.

  • Aperture 2.1 will not import .crw from my Canon 300D Digital Rebel?

    Hi
    I am having problems with Aperture 2.1. I have a number of RAW files on my Canon 300D DSLR, which will not import into Aperture. Aperture recognises the camera and the photos via USB connection directly to the camera. However, when I click on import all (or for that matter if I attempt to import a single photo) I receive the following error box:
    "Import From Capture Card Completed with Errors - 0 images have been imported into the project named "untitled project". - Aperture failed to import the 19 images listed below:"
    It then list all of the images, for instance: CRW_0309.CRW.
    I am almost certain that Aperture 2.1 is compatible with the Canon 300D and .crw files: does anyone have any idea why I am having problems? Please feel free to ask me any questions, which may help you to understand my issues.
    This is my first post, sorry if I've done anything wrong.
    Si

    You might be onto something there nbirchler ... whilst I have not installed all the Canon software I have got the Canon remote capture installed ... but more to the point I have iPhoto, Aperture, Elements, Photoshop, FinepixViewer, Adobe DNG and various RAW developer type packages, as well as god knows what else lurking ... maybe one of these was interfering as I had not specified a default program to interface with my camera.
    Does anyone know if there is a window (shouldn't use that word in Appleland really lol), or menu in OSX (perhaps in system preferences or something) for selecting the default image download software for your camera? I assume if you say 'yes' to iPhoto on bootup, or 'yes' to Aperture it must just tick a box somewhere in OSX ... wheres the box?
    It would be useful to interface directly with OSX before I insert my camera and ensure I have the package I want to open selected.

  • M-RAW and S-RAW of Canon 7D with 5.6

    Hello,
    as I see, unfortunately version 5.6 doesn't really support M-RAW and S-RAW of Canon 7D. DNG files for M-RAW will inflate about 50% in size of the original M-RAW file (18MB -> 28MB). The only intention to shoot in M-RAW is the smaller size of files.
    Best regards

    Hmm, I'm not satisfied about this explanation. Maybe I don't understand the technical side, but as I said, the M-RAW has got 10MP and the normal RAW has got 18MP. I really expect that the DNG from M-RAW is smaller than the one from normal RAW...
    Well, if you don't understand the technical side, then you don't have any basis to expect a certain behavior, which reflects purely technical aspects. Anyway, I try to give a brief explanation of it.
    The Bayer type raw data has only one value per pixel, that is the "red", "green" or "blue" raw value (which is not identical to the red, green or blue value from RGB). The mRaw and sRaw are demosaiced, each pixel has three components, red, green and blue. The red and blue components are the same for two neighbouring pixels, therefor they are not stored twice. (Think of this: the sRaw has only one quarter as many pixels as the normal raw, but the file size is closer to the half of the size of the normal raw). However, DNG does not support storing the data this way, therefor the DNG converter has to create a file, in which all pixels have all three components; thus the DNG contains much more data than the respective sRaw or mRaw.

  • Tethering canon 300d

    How can I connect a canon 300d to aperture?

    This may be a solution which I have yet to fully test:
    Apple Script:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html
    Canon EOS Utility 2.5.1 Updater for Mac OS X:
    http://www.canon.com.au/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos300d.aspx
    For the updater to work you will need the origional Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk that came with the camera.
    Notwithstanding that this might be a solution the Tether features in Aperture working with the 300D would have been a more elegant solution.

  • How open raw from canon eos 70D in elements 11

    I cannot open raw from canon eos 70D in photoshop elements 11. Help me please.

    Your PSE is too old—the camera was released after a newer version of software was available and Adobe only adds new camera support to the newest version of software.
    Specifically, the 7D Mark II needs ACR 8.7 and PSE12 can only be updated to ACR 8.5.
    Your choices are to:
    Use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2s and those DNGs will open in the older version of ACR that comes with PSE12, OR
    Buy the newer version of Element 13 that can be updated to a new enough Adobe Camera Raw plugin.
    The DNG Converter is available from the Adobe Updates page:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
    And the newer version of Elements is available from the Adobe Products page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    Another option would be to use Lightroom 5.7 or newer and use Edit in Photoshop Elements from LR once most of your raw adjustments are done, for any final touches in Elements. 
    For any of these choices you’d want to download the latest updates and run the software in trial mode to make sure your computer is compatible before paying anything.
    BTW, I have the 7D Mark II and like it very much, having upgraded from an older Digital Rebel, but I’m not that thrilled with the in-camera JPG processing so always use Adobe products for raw development.

  • I have a Mac with photoshop CS6 regularly updated. I am unable to read RAW images CANON Power shot G16 /ADOBE LISTING WAS of NO HELP

    Is there any one who could let me know how to read Raw images Canon power shot g16? I tried all I could and followed the suggestions given by ADOBE but noting works. I see the images with other program but I cannot work on them.

    Check your version of Camera Raw installed: Help (Win)/Photoshop (Mac) > About Plug-in > Camera Raw.
    If it is less than 8.2, it won't work with this camera.
    If it is less than 8.6, you don't have all the updates installed.

  • Load More Messages issues

    I saw some posts about load more messages issues, but nothing seems to be the same as my problem. I'm new to iPhone, so I must be missing something obvious.
    I was looking at my emails this morning and deleted all but 5. I responded to an email, but didn’t send because I forget change the server port for outgoing mail that our server requires. So I went into settings and changed the port. I went back to my inbox but can no longer see the messages I saved, instead there's an option that says “Load More Messages” with a note below it stating “5 messages total, 0 unread”. I have no other emails in my inbox. When I click Load More Messages, nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to get to those emails. I tried cycling the power on the iphone, that didn’t help.
    I'm getting new messages normally. My mail is set to show 25 recent messages. Even if I change this, it still displays the "Load More Messages". As an extreme test, I set it to show 200 recent messages, went back to my inbox, hit the "Load More Messages" option, but that didn't help. What's more, I have a full signal and I'm running 3G.

    Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
    So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
    Peace.

  • More Usable Image Detail - Adobe Camera Raw Beats Canon DPP

    Let me start with a question:
    When you do your raw conversions, do you convert to an image that's got the same number of pixels as your camera's imager has photosites?
    If so, why?  I ask because I'm convinced that - with modern software - to get the most usable detail out of a raw image one should convert directly to an upsampled size.  You might think that in trying to get "more megapixels from the same camera" I'm just fooling myself, but again and again when I look at the problem of maximizing the output from existing equipment (which, face it, is everyone's goal, no matter how good the equipment) I keep seeing that there is an advantage to selecting from the upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw.  Of course, the computer must be up to handling the additional data.
    In actual terms, my Canon 40D has 3888 x 2592 photosites (plus some guard pixels around the edges) making 10 megapixels, yet I find converting to 6144 x 4096 (25 megapixels) to be advantageous - ESPECIALLY when I use my sharpest lenses.
    I happened to be doing a head to head comparison between Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 50mm f/1.4 lenses, and the difference between the two appeared pretty subtle - UNTIL I converted to the aforementioned upsampled resolution, and then the more expensive f/1.4 lens clearly stepped ahead.  There was simply extra detail I hadn't been seeing clearly at the native pixel size of the camera's imager, but which stood out clearly at the larger size.
    This reaffirmed my previous observations that conversion directly to upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw brings out additional detail.
    This screen grab shows part of the converted image, as produced by DPP and Camera Raw, both at 6144 x 4096 pixels as produced by the converters and displayed at 100% zoom.  Note that the detail (e.g., in the terrain) is finer and more real looking in the Camera Raw conversion, while the DPP image seems to have more sharpening artifacts.
    If you're interested in experimenting to see how much detail you can lift out of this same image, the raw file is here:
    http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/IMG_5400.zip
    I don't have a copy of any other converters, for example Capture 1, to see how they'd do.

    I hope that Noel will offer results that compare the Canon RAW in ACR with both resolutions as well.
    Not sure I follow you completely...  Just to be clear, can you lay out what "both resolutions" means?  I'll be more than happy to go through different processes and present comparison images - I just want to be sure I understand just what you're asking for.
    Oh, and you're right - some subjectivity necessarily will appear here.  I might just like the "look" of one process while you prefer the "look" of another.
    Lastly, one of my workflows involves sharpening images with my own fractal sharpening actions, and I am testing to see which converter process output produces the best result from that as well.
    -Noel
    I had to read that twice to make sure I knew what it meant!
    What I am trying to say is to show the results of both converters in the native resolution and the 25M upsampled.resolution.
    On another note, I have been playing around with the details of noise and sharpening in DXO and ACR, looking at 300%. It's both good and bad. If you are willing to mess with the ACR settings at 300%, then ACR has the edge, even comparing to manual tweaks in DXO. They do correctly optimize, however, except that point isn't as good as ACR. The depressing point is all the tweaking to do on an individual basis. Can you imagine tweaking 100 or more images that way? Then you get to move over to other corrections.
    We are splitting tiny hairs here, and the bottom line is if you are going to make 30x40 prints from a given file, you may want to use ACR all the way and bite the bullet. If the Auto corrections for the lens employed in ACR is well done, as it seems for my Nikon 18 to 105, the workload is relaxed.
    Finally, the ACR corrected image will need final sharpening at higher values than the DXO, and at that point, they come together a bit more...sharpening anomalys and all that.
    The final fuss levels takes me back to my 8x10 days, where these kinds of determinations (max quality level) takes place under the focusing cloth, and deliberate selection of POV is carefully considered. Today, it's in front of the monitor. But instead of a few sheets of film to process, we have 100's to do.
    I thoroughly enjoy working with the files on the computer, but not so much having to deal with less than optimum technical details right out of the camera. Barrel distortion? Hasselblad was not satisfied with the "normal" corrections in it's general optics, which were damn good, so came out with the 100mm Planar that was awesome! All they gave up was max aperture, and picked the FL at a value that provided for the best corrections. So I recall anyway.
    Why should we be required to do these kinds of post corrections? Digital editing involves throwing away information, and ther appears to be enough so that correcting these deficiencies still gives a wonderful image. Just imagine what it would be like if all you need to do is to open the file and adjust values to taste, with all that information density available exclusively for that part. You don't even need to use a focusing magnifier!
    Gotta run!

  • Camera RAW issues with Canon T4i

    I have many, many cameras and have used Photoshop and Bridge for years.  Even though the latest updates for Camera RAW says it can handle the T4i, I tried opening these files on two separate computers, both running Win 7 64 bit, and my having Photoshop Extended 5+ 64 bit on both computers.
    I tried reformatting the camera card, wanting to eliminate that as a possible problem, and the same problem exists.
    Camera RAW will recognize all of my other cameras, the D Mark III, T3i, Nikon D2x, D3, D3X, so on and so forth, but not the T4i.
    I stopped short of doing an image restore on that machine, thinking my installation of Photoshop must have been corrupted when I removed Elements and Preimere Elements, but no...I'm now on an IBM W701 with the same software and I have the same probem.
    If someone from Adobe would like me to send them a file from the T4i, I will.  If I shoot in jpeg, there are no issues.  But I do not shoot in jpeg.  I only did it to see if perhaps it were the SD card.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    With Photoshop CS5 (I think that's what you said) you no longer have access to the latest updates for Camera Raw.
    Photoshop CS5 can only take up to Camera Raw 6.7 (latest version is 7.1, which goes with Photoshop CS6 only). 
    You'll either need to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG converter and go through the extra step of converting your T4i images to DNG before opening them in Camera Raw 6.7.

  • Canon EOS 5d MkII/RAW "issues"

    OK I'm considering buying an EOS 5d MkII but I've read a few reports on the internet that there are problems with CS3 dealing with RAW files and refusing to open them. I've also read that the only remedy is to upgrade to CS4 (which I am unwilling to do as, a) there aren't enough new features to justify the cost and b) CS3 is sooo buggy and doesn't exactly instill confidence that the next incarnation will be any better on my Mac) anyway, the long and short is, is it true or has there been some kind of fix for this?
    Thanks for any advice.

  • Latest processing RAW from Canon 40 D

    I am aware that the previous thread was closed but I wanted to share what I have experienced and what Canon told me.
    I have an iMac and had after installing DPP 3.1.5 latest version found that what you all already know can't recognize/process RAW. I called Canon and they told me that it looks like they were going to provide the RAW conversion for 40 D, but not it looks like they are going to wait until Apple release the new OS. If you check Canon's Library they don't show any DPP upgrade for 40 D cuz they got none.
    In case you are wondering if this is a unique issue with Apple, think again Vista users are facing the same.
    So here is the deal if you have I Browser you can upload/process RAW images created on the 40 D, but not on DPP. Also, if you have Windows XP guess what ZB will do the same. I don't have DPP installed on my Win XP.
    Before I bought my 40 D I was outrage because Canon created this big hype, and yet they weren't shipping enough units. I was able to make contact with one of their Product Mgr. and wouldn't you know it, within 10 minutes a store (in the state next to mine) called because the Prod Mgr called him, and he had a camera on hold, needless to say, I drove and bought it. I kept his phone number so will call him and find out because its a total dissapointment not being able to upload and process RAW images the easy way, but instead going through a lot of hoops.

    Yea... this frustration is certainly echoed throughout an entire community of people who rushed out with great excitement to pick up the 40D, myself included in that list. The bottom line is of course that despite the hoops we're all having to hop through currently, it'll all clear up soon enough. If the RAW update is coming with the introduction of Leopard, then count me in I suppose. I can kind of see the logic in consolidating updates into one big OS revision extravaganza.
    What worries me though is, if they're waiting to introduce it alongside Leopard, what about all the remaining Tiger users? I'll be honest, given the recent quirkiness with iPhone and iPod software, and how development teams are being shuffled all over so many projects in order to meet deadlines and often at the expense of software not being as polished as we've come to expect from Apple, it gives me pause on updating to Leopard right away. But are they going to force all the 40D users to upgrade OS's in order to get RAW support? That seems kinda wonky, but the alternative is that they'll release an update for Tiger that get things up and going too, right?
    But if they're going to have that... why not go ahead and release it now and save so many users the heartache and trouble of waiting and working with JPEG files in the meantime? Oh yea... because of the consolidation, right... *blank stare* Or perhaps there will be no update on Tiger? Ewwww... So many questions... so few answers... and so much less sense than ever before.
    I've heard this idea that 'it takes time' but if Adobe's turning it around in two weeks, how much more time can it really take for Cupertino to work it out? I'm convinced Apple is sitting on the update at this point... and that lines up with what Canon said about Apple's wait on the OS upgrade.
    It's all confusing, but like I said, it'll all work out soon enough, no matter what agenda's are being placed at the head of the line. The real question I think is are we going to have to pony up for a new OS (as well as a new version of Aperture to possibly make things financially worse?) in order to unlock all the RAW goodness of our new camera? Time well tell I suppose, but Apple's slowly slipping in my mind as the company that can do no wrong.
    All love though, Apple. Hear the concerns. I look forward to you proving me wrong, and making my wildest dreams come true as you have in the past.

  • RAW of Canon EOS 400D: No Preview before Importing, no import in projects..

    Hi all
    After updating to 1.5.1. and RAW Support 1.0.1, I experience following behavior: After connecting my Canon EOS 400D, there is no preview of the RAW-Pictures. JPEG-Pictures work fine. Then, when I import, the RAW-Pictures get imported not on the project I pointed it to (and the JPEGs are imported as planned), but still are imported and viewable perfectly afterwards in the "year" folder.
    Does anybody have the same issue and by accident know how to sort this out? Thanks in advance!

    It sounds as though the RAW update did not work.
    To check, go to
    System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framewor
    k/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/R
    esources
    Open Raw.plist in a text editor. Scroll down and you
    should see Canon 400D. If not, you need to reapply
    the update.
    I had real problems with the original universal, so I
    suggest you use the specific PPC or Intel version for
    your machine.
    G.
    Thank you for the hints. The camera is listed in the plst file, and I noticed something else: The RAW-Pictures get imported in a "new project" which is automatically created. JPEGs are imported in the project I selected. So basically it is not really a big problem, since the import works and the pictures are displayed correctly after importing them, but still I find the behaviour somehow strange... I will play around some more and see if I can sort it out. By the way, I only found the universal version for my MBP - there is no "intel"-specific.
