No camera in finder

When I plug my Canon Digital Rebel DS6041 into the iMac (using a USB port), the images show up on iPhoto, but I cannot see them in Finder. Since my iPhoto is refusing to import these files (erroring that the JPEG files are an unknown type), I am trying to download the files directly to Finder so I can work on them.
The camera does not show up as a device on the desktop (nor in the sidebar of a Finder Window) although I have the Finder>Preferences set to show all devices; but I CAN see it in the System Profiler>Hardware>USB.
How can I get my Canon onto the desktop?

I have found a work-around to this by using the program Image Capture to transfer the files to a folder so I can access them outside iPhoto.

How to draw white border(only corner) lines around camera view finder

Hi. You know those white corner lines around the camera view that is found on most camera apps, how do I draw those lines around the camera view? I'm developing a video camera app and now I want to draw those lines to indicate where the camera view finder
is. The white line starts at the top left corner of the camera view(horizontal) then stops about one quarter and starts again at the other side(top right). The same at left, right and bottom side. It shouldn't be a full square/rectangle just the corners. I
think you understand what I'm talking about now. How can I draw just "video camera corner lines"? After this question I want to ask you how to change the resolution like to 176*220, 240*320 ect and what the available resolutions is for capturing
video-clips. For now just the white corner lines of camera view. Thanks in advance:-)

How do I draw lines and shapes on top of the camera view finder(cvf)?
+how do I show the battery life bar on cvf?
+how do I programmatically add text on the cvf?
+how do I make a connection request? (connect to a URL)?
+how do I change the resolution of the video camera? What is the acceptable values for resolution?
+how do I listen for touch events on the cvf?
Thanks

Can't see Camera in Finder

My camera (Nikon D90 DSLR) is recognised by iphoto ok but isn't seen in the finder or desktop like normal removable hard drives.
I need to copy RAW images that iphoto can't import, I've loaded all the camera drivers etc, is it because the camera is just released or is there a way to make finder let me see the camera files.

Now thats what i've been looking for, many thanks.
(I want to back up the raw images so that when Aperture is able to handle D90 RAW images i have them stored)
Thanks again

Where does Camera Raw find custom WB info in a RAW file?

I'm using a custom WB preset on a Nikon D610. When I open the RAW file in Lightroom or Camera Raw, I see WB = "As Shot" and I see Temp and Tint values that are CLEARLY custom values. I am curious to know (a) where Nikon stores the WB information in a .NEF file, and how Adobe is able to find it. Does anyone know which metadata tags hold the custom WB? Thanks!

On my Nikon D610 I can be very specific about WB by setting an X,Y coordinate pair in the "Choose color temp." screen:
This is the (x,y) coordinate pair that I mentioned in an earlier post. When I open the NEF file in Camera Raw, the temp and tint scales will show these values. So the question remains: where does Adobe find this information in the NEF?
I understand that, except for "As Shot" all of the other choices Adobe gives you for White Balance will not correspond to any camera settings. They will be Adobe's interpretation of what those values mean. For example, "Auto" will mean what Adobe considers the best WB for your image, and it will be based on its analysis of the color data

I want to transfer a movie file onto my camera but can't see my camera on Finder. Any other way I can do this ?

Hey,
I have a new Macbook Air and I am trying to transfer a file onto my camera. I can connect my camera through USB connexion but can't see it on the Finder ... Is there anyway I can transfer something on my camera ?
Thank you

Yes the camera is on and the USB port works well. The camera appears only on Photos or Iphoto where I can not add files to the SD card, Can't see it on Finder though

IPhoto doesn't see my camera, but Finder does. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

Sometimes, when I connect my camera to my iMac via a USB port, iPhoto does not see the device. Normally, iPhoto starts automatically when the camera is connected. The problem occurs whether or not iPhoto is not running and is initiated manually, or is already running when the camera is connected. In all cases, Finder sees the device and shows it in its list of active devices.
I have been using this camera and this iMac for a few years without any problems. This problem has only starting occuring in the last two weeks.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

In response to a similar problem reported, it was suggested to repair disk permissions using the disk utility. I did this, but it had no effect. However, after restarting my iMac, the problem was resolved. So, don't know if repairing disk permissions had any effect, or whether simply restarting cleared the problem. Next time it occurs, I will simply restart to see if this is all that is needed.

Camera view finder effect

I was previewing a movie done by some middle school students on another website and noticed some footage in the piece that had the effect one might see through the camera as the recorded the action (small red dot, the word REC, framed corners.) I am wondering how this effect is achieved. Any ideas? My wife is always so kind to point my crappy camera work...this might be a subtle way to say "Yah, I know the footage is bad but as you can see, I'm no pro!"

Digital camera doesn't show up in Finder

why does my digial camera not show up in Finder? (camera is Nikon D7000)
there are situtions when you don't want to download photos, sometimes I'm just doing tests, and want to see photos in the camera instead of downloading them first.. ( at any rate this should be my choice to make, not Apple's....;-)
and: I want to see the camera in the FINDER (not iPhoto or any other program where you have to "import" the photos.. I don't like those programs and never use them..)
it doesn't even show up in Adobe Bridge, for pete's sake.. this is ABSURD..
sorry, but on the pc you see it right away in Windows Explorer....    no reason whatsoever why the mac shouldn't do this also...

I changed setting you mention (although I thought that applied strictly to what appears in DESKTOP, not all Finder windows/folders...)   made no difference.. just connected camera, the mac still won't read it...
I do know about iPhoto, iMovie, i-whatever... I still would like to see camera in FINDER (or at the very least in Adobe Bridge.. ) what happens is simply that Apple has decided you can only download/see photos in the camera ONLY with APPLE software.. this ***** BIG TIME...   there's no good reason at all why Apple would do a ****** thing like this.... how users pull/view photos from a camera should be the USER'S choice, not Apple's... (in general I don't like at all programs you have to "import" photos from, you don't get a choice as to where the photos are stored in yr HD.. I have a very large amount of photos, and have a specific organizing system, specif. way of naming the folders, etc.. and I need to choose exactly where the photos are stored.. )
(to responder who said it's a Nikon issue: so Nikon decided to design their cameras so you can see photos in Windows Explorer in Windows machines, but they deliberately decided they didn't want them showing up in Finder windows on the mac? find this a bit hard to believe..   am curious now, so will consult with Nikon, but I do find it hard to believe this is a Nikon decision...)
thank you...

Preview and Finder showing photos with the right rotation, once imported to iPhoto its lost

Hi,
I'm geting nuts with this issue.
For my own camera all works fine. 90° rotated pics show up in Finder, Preview and iPhoto correctly. Landscape is landscape, portrait is portrait.
Now I got photos shared (using Dropbox) from a friends camera. Finder and Preview also show landscape and portraits correctly rotated.
But, once I import them (by drag&drop from the Finder) into iPhoto, all portrait photos are landscape now and need to be rotated 90°. This is the same for Thumbnails, full screen and even slideshow.
The only difference when importing those photos is, for my own I use the import out of iPhoto (by plugging the SD directly to the Mac), the other photos are imported from the Finder with drag&drop.
BTW, the rotation information for all photos are correct in Preview (1 for normal photos, 8 or 6 for 90° rotated).
So what is the problem here? I'm going nuts.
Thanks in advance.
Monty

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

LR2.3/Vista: why won't it auto open when camera is plugged in?

Dear All:
My LR1.4 used to automatically open whenever i plug in (via usb) a camera, very convenient.
i've upgraded to LR2.3, and all seems to be fine.
i just bought a brand new Fuji F200EXR camera, and somehow, "autoplay" does open (that's a Vista autoplay window), but LR2.3 does not open up. even when i choose the link at the bottom of the autoplay window for managing that in Vista, Fuji F200EXR DOES show up, as do other cameras that i've used before, but the drop down menu for the Fuji F200EXR does not contain LR2.3 in it!
may i ask what the proper, correct way is to request that LR2.3 opens up whenever a camera is connected? (it's not an issue with my other cameras, just somehow, the Fuji F200EXR is not quite recognized by LR2.3 or something like that).
thanks in advance.
PS: the way i do it now is after i plug the camera in, i then open up LR2.3 manually via double clicking the LR2.3 icon on my desktop. i then go to File/import via a device. at which point, LR2.3 takes only a very short time to upload my pictures from the SD card inside the Fuji F200EXR camera. i find the LR2.3 faster and more responsive than my previous LR1.4.

I haven't been shooting any photos lately, so I hadn't run into this yet, but it seems like Lightroom 2.3 didn't install any AutoPlay handlers (which is what adds items to the list in the AutoPlay Control Panel). I plugged in my Fuji camera, and it wasn't there. So I tried by Canon, and it's not there for that camera either.
So I decided to uninstall and re-install LR 2.3, and that seemed to fix it.
So, I'd suggest that you do the same. 2.3, although technically an update, contains the entire program, so just uninstall LR 2.3, then install LR 2.3 update (don't install LR 2.0 first, which is what you get on the install CD). If you don't still have the 2.3 update, you can download it from here:

How to: DNG colors from pentax camera are completely different in camera raw compared to pentax soft

Hi all, i have a problem.
I always used adobe camera raw to manage RAW files. I find it really fast and friendly compared to many other programs (i mean lightroom, pentax digital camera utility, DxO optics pro, Silkypix, etc.). It has no rivals, on my macbook pro it is absolutely faster than others.
BUT i found a lot of differences comparing colors (not just tone, but definition inside an object with similar colors) from a DNG using camera raw vs pentax digital camera utility 4. It is a know problem by pentax people. You can check (without the camera) the problem here (see the colorcheker chart): http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxkx/page14.asp
I can post examples of what i mean speaking of "definition inside an object with similar colors"...
I always use the "embedded" camera profile in camera raw, finding it more similar to the pentax software. The adobe standard is really different.
Is there a way i can bypass this issue? using pentax digital software is really boring…it's unfriendly, SLOW, with bad light adjustments and interface.
I tried opening the DNG with pentax software and converting it to tiff: the colors are ok, but you lose a lot adjusting light etc.
thank you all

> I don't know anything, and haven't read anything, about the unique characteristics of Pentax DNG files.
firmware in cameras that can create raw files in .DNG format (Pentax, Samsung, Ricoh, Leica) will write so called DNG profile in those raw files (see Sandy's comments) - those profiles are not identical to what Adobe creates to use w/ ACR/LR, but they also can be used by Adobe raw converters (you will get a little different colors)... you can extract those profiles from native DNG raw files for example using Adobe DNG profile editor... in addition, Pentax cameras (modern) can create raw files either in their own PEF format or in DNG format and Pentax suppied software (DCU) can in fact create DNG files from PEF files and unlike Adobe DNG converter DCU will do that w/o discarding any information and it will write Pentax DNG profile in those converted DNG files.

Is it possible to slip and angle in multi cam?

When cutting multicam, some times the 2nd camera may find the interviewee not looking great, he might be picking his nose or looking uninterested. In legacy FCP7 it was posssible to slip that camera angle to a point when the interviewee was looking more engaged. Is this possible in FCPX?

If the sync of the interview has been cut, its just the video I need to slip. For example the camera may be reframing at the moment when I need to cut, the noddy may look fake so I want to slip along that angle to find a better reaction shot. It doesn't seem posssible in FCPX

HT2729 Is there a way to store videos into a separate album right after you shoot it on iPhone camera?

Is there a way to store videos into a separate album right after you shoot it on iPhone camera?
Finding videos in iPhone photo album requiers you to search through everything on your album. Is there a way to create separate video album or have them automatically save to a dedicated video album?
It's a pain finding videos when you use the camera so much and as it is I'm constantly organizing the photos.

Not even an app that might do this?

I imported some pictures from my cameras memory card to iPhoto and now i want to transfer them back to memory card

I just got my iMac and I just wanted to copy some pictures from my camera's memory card to my computer. turns out 'importing pictures' meant totaly removing the pictures from my memory card. How can I transfer the pictures back to my memory card?
More info:
I used Dynex Compact Memory Card Reader and put my memory card in it to connect to the usb plug
I have a Canon Camera
I am using iPhoto

Hi.
FYI and future reference, importing pictures does not have to mean removing them from the memory card or camera.
When you plug in a memory card and open iPhoto to import your pictures, there will be a dialog box that opens and asks if you'd like to "Keep" the imported photos on the card, or delete them.
Apparently you selected the option to delete them.
In any case, in order to move them back to the card, you *should* be able to plug the card into your Dynex reader, after which the card should mount and display on the desktop. Then, open iPhoto and simply drag the photos from there and into the memory card.
You may need to recreate the file and folder structure on the card so the camera can find the files when you wish to view them.
I hope this is helpful.

dpreview.com has a compare cameras feature that lets you compare up to 20 models at once. You just could load a bunch in and see if it gives you what you want.
