New Canon Rebel XSI, and Aperture won't read the .CS2 files properly??

Hello all,
I have read through the posts but didn't fine one that answered my question. I just bought a Canon XSI and tried to upload my RAW files to Aperture, and first it showed the "unsupported image format" red screen. After messing around I could get it to see the images, but they were the size of thumbnails. It will read the JPG files fine. The Aperture site says that the CR2 files should work. I also tried deleting the rawfile in the system folder and re-ran the installer for 2.1 update, didn't change a thing. My Aperture version is 2.1.1. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Lucked out and figured out the real problem thanks to Mark Olson's blog:
http://markolson.ca/2008/07/17/canon-eos-450d-rebel-xsi-cr2-raw-on-mac/
It turns out that the problem was related to RAW+JPG. Mac does not import the RAW files properly and I should have suspected this being the problem when I noticed the RAW file size was way too small (exact same size as the JPG file).
Luckily I had not deleted the files from my memory card so I was able to go back and import the RAW images again. Now at this point I'm going to ask Steve to cover his eyes because I had to use Vista to download the files!
All seems ok now.

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

  • Canon Rebel XSi and OSX - How to copy files from camera?

    How do I copy the files from my Canon Rebel XSi to my Mac? I can "import them into iPhoto but is there a simple copy/paste option such as the camera appearing within the Finder?
    On Vista it comes up as a Camera device within Windows Explorer.
    Cheers
    Rex

    You might not be able to mount the Canon on the desktop unless it has a setting in the camera menu to switch it to USB Mass Storage mode. Many camera brands can do this, but many Canon models cannot.
    It's still pretty easy to get images off it, though. In addition to iPhoto, you can use Apple Image Capture to select and download images to any folder, or any other software that supports the XSi like Canon EOS Utility (included) or Adobe Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw. If the XSi doesn't turn up in those apps, make sure you've got the latest versions.
    I don't have the XSi, I have an older model, but according to reviews, the XSi still doesn't have USB Mass Storage support. Without that support I don't think it's going to show up on a Mac desktop.
    You may be seeing it show up for drag-and-drop on a Windows Vista desktop, but the link above says that drag-and-drop in Windows only supports JPEG files, not RAW files. Are you getting just JPEG files on the Windows desktop? If so, and if you intend to use the superior RAW format, then basically you don't have drag-and-drop on Mac or Windows, if the review is correct.

  • I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files.  I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

    i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
    and it's not reading the files.  I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them.  when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
    Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
    I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
    can someone shed some light please ?

    So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Canon Rebel XSi and RAW

    I am trying to import my RAW+jpeg mix files and the jpeg's are fine, but the RAW images give me a message that says they are not in a supported format. I have a friend who has imported his RAW files into Aperture 3.03 from the same camera model with no problem.
    I am using Aperture 3.03 with the Digital Camera RAW 3.02.
    Thoughts?

    I imagine you mean the latest update of Digital Camera Raw 3.2 and you are on the latest software updates for the Mac and the firmware updates for the Rebel XSi:
    http://www.canon.ca/InetDD/downloadDriverOs.htm?sessionid=839096DB870DC92BA93594 EC6BA63816&Families=1&Lines=7&Products=0002200420&LANGUAGE=ENG&URL=http%3A%2F%2F canoncanada.custhelp.com%2Fapp%2Fanswers%2Flist%2Fp%2F13%252C498%2Fc%2Fr_id%2F16 6%2Fsearch%2F1rnflag%3DDD&act=&actiontype=&contrl=os#
    Certainly RAW+JPEG has been supported since Snow Leopard 10.6.0 so I suspect there’s some setting on the camera that is recording something differently than your friend. I use RAW+JPEG in the Adobe RGB 1998 colour space on my Canon Rebel XT without a problem. Recheck your settings for the camera, ensure all Canon stuff is current, and review the Import dialog in Aperture to see if you are handling the import of RAW+JPEG correctly.

  • I updated my ipad to ios 5, however, the software wiped my ipad clean and it won't put the backup files onto the ipad and also won't accept my apple id. What shall I do?

    I updated my iPad to ios 5, and it updated it to ios 5, however- it at the same time- wiped my iPad clean and it won't sync to my computer to get the old apps and music back. Also, none of my iDevices accepted my apple id which I have used for years and I have had to make another one. 

    If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
    Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
    If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
    From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using.  Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

  • I have just bought Canon printer mg3560 and it won't upload the software, just says 'You can't open the application "MSETUP4.EXE" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' Please help!

    Having trouble installing my Canon Printer MG3560 to my Macbook. Have put software disc in but then it comes up with that comment.

    ~Bee,
    I mentioned the Australian Canon download site because the MG3500 series printers are not mentioned in Apple's OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download page. The MX890 series is, so of course it needs no driver or additional software.

    Thank you christ1. That worked. I did try running it with administrator, but I hadn't rebooted and it didn't work. It did work after I rebooted. I don't know why that should have mattered, but there you go. Thank you again.

  • CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi won't open in CS2

    Ok, so I have a powerbook G4 with Tiger Mac OS X and CS2 student version. I am basically computer illiterate so feel free to state the obvious here.
    I bought a new Canon Rebel XSi and have been shooting raw CR2 files. I have done this in the past with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and never had a problem... now the error window pops up saying my file is unrecognizable. I did the only things I know how to do which was to check for updates and verify permissions in disc utility - this did not help.
    Still thinking it was my computer or the software I backed everything up and wiped the hard drive clean by erasing and reinstalling the original discs and then reloading CS2 and again doing all of the updates - this did not help.
    I have spent 3 days reading in these forums and trying to clear caches and download DNG's (by the directions into the right library) and still it does not work. I even downloaded trial versions of CS3 and CS4.
    Now I'm sure my computer is a downloaded mess and I still have no access to my raw files!
    Please Please Please help me!

    You're welcome, Nikki.
    <br />
    <br />&gt;what do you do with the paper with a hard drive icon on it when you download something?
    <br />
    <br /> I assume you mean the
    <i>disc image file</i> with a ".dmg" extension.
    <br />
    <br /> Personally I keep any such disc image file if its contents prove successful and discard it when a new version comes along that also proves to work OK. Otherwise, I delete them right away. It's your choice. I prefer to have the dmg file around in case I have to install its contents again for whatever reason without having to download it again.
    <br />
    <br /> That being said, I don't keep anything on my desktop,
    <b>ever</b>. I download everything to a "Downloads" folder inside my Documents folder.
    <br />
    <br /> Here's what my desktop looks like all the time:

  • Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW  or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

    I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
    In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
    Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
    Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

  • Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

    I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
    I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
    I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
    The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
    In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
    Lightroom error:
    Bridge, no preview:
    Photoshop error:
    Ideas, suggestions?

    Something appears to be wrong with your files.
    Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
    This is very small for a 12 MP image.
    If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
    Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
    Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
    Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
    Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
    Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
    Have you tried repairing your permissions?
    Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
    Good Luck!

  • Aperture won't read DNG files

    I'm sure there's a simple solution I've missed, but Aperture 3 won't open DNG files converted from Olympus RAW (ORF). Any suggestions?
    Brian

    Aperture 3.5.1 and the camera is the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
    And yes, Aperture will convert the RAW/ORF files but the devil is in the details. And since you asked (sort of), here are the details:
    I own and have happily used Photoshop CS4 for the layered compositing I like to do, but it won't support ORF files
    I tried importing/converting them in Aperture then editing in PS4 ... but Aperture 3 and PS4 don't play together well, so many come back as "unsupported file format"
    Apple can't fix the problem and Adobe no longer supports PS4... put another way, Apple can't do anythig but they care, and Adobe could do everything but they don't care
    It got worse when I upgraded to Mavericks, so to get around that I had to upgrade to Photoshop CC and pay the monthly "rental"
    Aperture and Photoshop now work, but the demands of running them both are beyond my aging iMac that can't be upgraded, so I have to buy a new one, but the monthly fee (which everybody assumes will only go up in cost)  + purchase of a new iMac for a guy on a fixed income are too much
    So, I thought if I used DNG to convert the ORF files I could import them into Aperture for all the basics and organization, then use PS4 for the compositing... but Aperture won't read the DNG conversions.
    And that, as the man used to say, is the name of that tune,
    Brian

  • Log and Transfer - what happens to the source files?

    I'm an experienced FCE4 user, but am using Log and Transfer for the first time with my new Canon Vixia HF M30 camera. Icons for the converted files are showing up in the Browser in FCE4, but where are the underlying converted flies? I didn't copy them from the camcorder to my hard drive when I started the process.

    Log and Transfer behaves the same way as Capture. The files are transferred to the Capture Scratch folder on your scratch disk.

  • Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working.  Need help, please.

    I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

    In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run.  Naturally, all later versions support it too.
    Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
    In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop".  The default install location should always be respected and left alone.
