Now Here! Support for the Canon PowerShot G1

After much trial and error, I have figured out how to support the Canon PowerShot G1.
I started with the settings for the hacked un-supported G2 (thanks to user jpugsley for this message: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=262930). Then I read the source code to the open source dcraw.c command line raw convertor. There I found Adobe's translation values for the G1 which has a CYGM filter array. I'd say this opens up opportunities for many other CYGM cameras to be supported.
The premul values seem to affect the color balance of the images. Adjusting the values very slightly may be helpful. I don't know what most of the other values are. The m2 array values came from dcraw.c You probably shouldn't touch those.
The images seem to open fine in Preview and Aperture. I hope Apple officially supports this camera soon (Aperture 1.1?).
How To:
All you have to do is paste the following XML into this file (make sure you save a backup of the file first). Rebooting is NOT needed:

This is stellar.
Thanks. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be... I didn't think it was possible at first.
is this in fact all
there is to supporting a new camera RAW format --
providing a translation array in a plist file?
What follows is pure speculation... I really don't have a solid understanding of this at all.
Seems like all you have to do is get these Camera->XYZ trans values (trans may stand for transform or translate). The image is essentially monochrome with color filters over it. Some cameras use RGB filters, looks like Apple has supported a lot of those. Some are CYGM, so far Apple hasn't supported any of those. Apple has supported the Sony DSC F828 which is RGBE where E stands for Emerald. Total guess, but each set of three values in the m2 array is associated with a color. (9 total for RGB and 12 for CYGM and RGBE). Guessing, each of these sets of three values probably is used to calculate a response curve for each color.
Basically, when dcraw.c provided twelve values, I began to poke around Raw.plist and discovered the Sony F828 camera also had 12 values in its m2 array. It also had 4 premul (pre-multiplier) values, one for each set of 3 m2 values. So I took a leap of faith that CYGM could be supported because after all, a color is just a color. Does the computer really care if the value represents emerald or magenta? This produced a promising image but color was way off. I had to then tweak each premul value to bring the color in. Those values don't seem to be linear. A minor adjustment can either dramatically change everything or have no noticeable effect.
Are all RAW formats essentially supported via simply a
declarative filter array, or did it just happen to
work for G1 RAW, and other formats are different?
My amateur guess is many cameras are similar and a few stand out as different. For example, I'm guessing the Foveon cameras are an example of a different sort of RAW file. Thats just a guess based on looking at dcraw.c.
if this is all there is to
supporting a new RAW format, I wonder
- why more of the RAW formats weren't supported in the first place.
To get you to buy a fancy new camera on the Apple Store? Lazyness? Not enough time? Lack of cooperation from the manufacturer? All of the above?
- why RAW formats haven't been progressively added
since the Aperture release.
Seems like they could have had support for dozens of additional cameras. This took me only a matter of hours to figure out. Someone with a deep understanding could have done this in minutes.
The real time sink is when you almost have the colors correct and you are endlessly tweaking trying to get them perfect... as you will see, the colors will be fine in certain exposures and way off in others. Look at daylight vs. tungsten photos. It may take many hours to get the values of the camera correct to customers exacting standards. We, the photographers, are very picky.
Why don't we just contact Canon, Nikon, etc. and get
their translation values?
There are values for 83 additional cameras that aren't supported by Apple in the dcraw.c file. That's a place to start.

Lens correction for the Canon Powershot G1x

When will Adobe offer lens correction for the Canon Powershot G1x in Lightroom?

WIA support for the Canon MX922

Is there a WIA driver for the Canon MX922 multifunction printer? It doesn't respond to my version of Photoshop which requiresa scanner that is WIA compliant.

Hello.
The MX922 uses a TWAIN driver for scanning.
For many of the latest versions of Photoshop, a TWAIN plugin would have to be installed in order to use a TWAIN scanner with the program. Please visit www.adobe.com for information on how to update the plugin for your version of Photoshop.

What is going on with tethered support for the canon 70D?

I just saw the release of Lightroom CC, and it appears that the Canon 70D is still not supported for tethering. This camera has been on the market for almost 2 years, and there have been several releases of Lightroom, including this major one. What is going on here? This is a major feature that is missing and a huge inconvenience to workaround. When will this be fixed? What is holding it up?

This information is a couple of years old, so I can not vouch for how current it is. But it may be worth a try.

Anybody use a camera harness for the Canon PowerShot S X 40?

Love the camera. I need a harness to keep it handy on hikes & when cross country skiing.

You didn't mention what cameras you tried and were dissapointed with, but since you mention that you may go with a better setup later this year, you can buy a used SD890 IS at http://www.keh.com/camera/Canon-Digital-Point-and-Shoots/1/sku-DC059991017580?r=FE. If that link doesn't work, then try http://www.keh.com/Camera/format-Digital/system-Canon-Digital/category-Point-and-Shoots?s=1&bcode=DC... for the main website. As far as the new Canon PowerShot ELPH cameras, I think the ELPH 330 HS might be the new equivalent of your camera with a few upgrades, such as a longer zoom range. All the new ELPH cameras lack the optical viewfinders, but some now include wifi.
The S110 is an excellent compact camera but is replaced by the S120. But since it is the 'older" model, the price is about $150.00 less. Small and lightweight, it has a larger sensor than the ELPH cameras and full manual control for getting more out of the camera. It lists for about $300.00, but you should be able to find them for less on the internet.

Will there be raw support for the Canon G10 before CS4?

Not complaining, just asking. I'll upgrade to CS4 eventually, probably sooner if my G10 is not convered in CS3/ACR.
Richard Southworth

Some it is definately that Adobe wants to make you upgrade, they need the
money like all businesses need the money. Anyone that thinks otherwise is
deluding themselves. However, the other part of it too is that with each new
version of Photoshop they add many new features to ACR, not just camera
support but new features. To upgrade the old version of ACR the last one for
CS3 for example they would need to maintain two seperate code bases and that
is a lot of work, that is going to increase the possibility of bugs and
other problems. It is far easier for Adobe to do it once and that is it.
This is why Lightroom and ACR are by and large updated together and why they
share the same code base, they only have invent the wheel once.
Now I am sure there is little reason why Adobe couldn't just make 5.1 work
with CS3. But, that goes back to the whole money thing. I guess you could
say ACR is a privilage and not a right. You earn the privilage to use the
lastest ACR by keeping your updates current.
This time around however, I have to say that Adobe did something that I
approve of very much and that is they release ACR 4.6 for CS3 AFTER CS4
shipped adding support for newer cameras. I would like to see Adobe do this
all of the time. That is do one final ACR update for the previous version of
Photoshop after the new version has shipped. I see this as a sort of thank
you.

Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the Canon Sureshot S95

Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
Canon Sureshot S95.
Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

(1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW. Hardly a satisfactory solution.
(I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ).
(2) SUGGESTION- even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting). I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs. So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
JJ
* (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

Does LR6 support tethering for the Canon EOS 70D

Hi
does LR finally support tethering for the Canon EOS 70D ?

Hi Ulrich,
It seems Canon EOS 70D is still not support in Lightroom6.
Please refer the following the list of supported cameras.

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

Is the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

I'm going on a roadtrip to the northwest next month and was wondering if anyone knows whether the Canon Powershot S2 IS Digital Camera compatible with an ipod photo?

You cannot, with a PC or a Mac, transfer photos from a camera directly to the iPod. You need to download the images from the camera to your computer first, then move the pictures from the computer to the iPod.
Not quite sure about that - from the Apple Store (UK):
Simply plug the iPod Camera Connector into the iPod dock connector, plug your camera’s USB cable and watch your images make their way to the iPod, ready to view in a slide show!
Compatible with iPod with color display.
Not compatible with iPod nano.
Requires iPod software v1.1.
See http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html for supported cameras.

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.

Updated Camera Raw File for CS2 / Canon Powershot G10

I am still using Photoshop CS2, but unfortunately I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6) for use with the Canon Powershot G10, and it appears the unless I upgrade to CS4 I won't be able to view any RAW files shot with this camera.
Is there an updated Camera Raw version for the Powershot G10 that is still supported under CS2?
Thanks!

ACR 5.4 was released last night and it requires CS4. That is the latest and current version of Camera Raw.
5.6 probably won't appear until next year.

I have a lot of RAW Canon .CRW's in iPhoto. I now use Aperture for my Canon EOS 20d, but would like to use Aperture for my old S40 digicam photos.
I tried editing RAW Plist by copying one of the sections (Canon s60). However, white highlights are blown out to fluorescent pink.
Any recommendation as to the correct RAW settings I should edit into RAW Plist?
Thank you.

Hi David,
I work with a Pentax *ist DS which also isn't supported (yet?) in the Raw.plist. I changed the existing entry from Pentax *ist D to Pentax *ist DS which allows Aperture to at least read the raw files... but the colours were not quite correct. However, there is a trick which partially alleviates the problem.
If you look closely at the Raw.plist, you'll find that there are one to several matrices for each model, called m1, m2, mc (and possibly others). Now, the values for at least the m2 matrix can be found in the open source "dcraw" (on which part of Aperture's raw developer appears to be based).
Thus, load the source of dcraw (look it up via google), and find the matrix appropriate for your camera in that code. The numbers given there need to be divided by 1000 (example: 10948 becomes 1.0948). Next, you need to replace the m2 matrix' values in the Raw.plist with those from dcraw, and you're set.
I haven't yet found with what to replace the m1 and mc matrix values. I guess that the various matrices are used by Aperture for various white points (d50, d65, etc) and help Aperture to get the colour of your photos right. However, with the method described above, you'll get rather accurate colour reproduction as long as your white balance settings were correct while you took your photo.
Other camera specific values in the Raw.plist seem to contain the settings for camera-specific noise reduction, sharpening, boost etc. - I don't know anything about these (yet).
Now if somebody could show how to determine the values for the m1 and mc matrices, that would be a great help.
Kind regards,
Karl
