Problem with Canon 50D RAW photos

Hi,
I got a DVD with pictures in RAW format taken by a Canon 50D and a Canon 30D.
Unfortunately I can neither see the RAW photos from the Canon 50D in preview nor can I import the photos into my iPhoto 08. All updates (including RAW compatibility) are installed on my iMac (Snow Leo). All photos on the same DVD that were taken with the Canon 30D do not cause any problems.
I tried to read the same set of photos with an older Macbook (Tiger) - it works!!! I can read them all.
Anyone an idea? The iMac won't let me re-install the RAW compatibility update as already all updates are installed.
Thanks for your hints and ideas

Hello JobaMUC & welcome to discussions...
nor can I import the photos into my iPhoto 08.
The iMac won't let me re-install the RAW compatibility update as already all updates are installed.
Might be that the update for iPhoto '08 is iPhoto '09...?
As well, if these are recently introduced cameras, they may also bring newer requirements that demand an update from Apple for reliable RAW support - in that case, Apple may be playing catch up, and then the only choice is to wait.
Good luck in any case.

CS3: HDR Merge Problem with Canon 50d RAW files

I recently upgraded from a 20D to a 50D. I'm running CS3 under WinXPpro with 3GB of RAM. HDR merge of 3 CR2 files is causing CS3 to generate a program error and crash. This never happened with my older (smaller) files from the 20D. Anybody know how to fix this?
TIA,

The suggestion was to try an HDR with smaller 50D sRAWs as an *experiment* to see if the size matters more than the camera model. Another benefit of a 50D would be the 14-bits per pixel instead of 12-bits and an sRAW would have less noise per pixel than a full-size RAW so using smaller sRAW images might work better than a 20D's.
The "size" being referred to is the dimensions in pixels, not the on-disk size, becasue the in-memory size of an image should be similar whether it comes from a 16-bit TIFF or an 16-bit RAW conversion.
Merging RAWs will involve ACR during the HDR process, whereas merging TIFFs won't unless you have the setting to prefer ACR for TIFFs, too, which you don't indicate.
There can be data in the highlights and especially shadows from a RAW that gets thrown away when it's converted to TIFF, so merging RAWs is better than merging from TIFFs.
I currently have CS4 only on my machine so I forget, but with CS3, does it matter what output size you have set in ACR, when you do an HDR conversion from RAW? In other words, does HDR using ACR ignore the output size or not? If not, then perhaps setting a smaller size in ACR (the same area where you set the bit depth and conversion colorspace) would make things work or setting a larger size with 20D images would make them fail. This is being suggested as a experiment as well, to try to isolate the issue, not necessarily a permanent solution.
I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with a 50D RAW that would make it not work, but the larger size would use more memory and maybe your machine is getting close to some sort of limit.
Other suggestions would be to reset your preferences and check your disk(s) with scandisk and/or change your scratch-disk to somewhere else to make sure there's no some corruption keeping the HDR process from working with the larger 50D images, and along those lines, also try purging your ACR cache or moving it to another drive. You might also try changing the amount of memory available to Photoshop (ram vs scratch-disk) in the Preferences.
What module does the crash occur in, if the error says? Is it related to display or something else?

Problem with Canon G12 RAW file

I'm very disappointed because I can't use Lightroom with my new camera! I have this issue since LR 3.3. and CR 6.3 started to support Canon G12's raw file. Any raw file is decoded incorrectly, picture is grained, it has a lot of noise at any ISO (even 80 or 100). The defect is noticeable only at 100% zoom, not at 50% or other sizes.
I tried to do also a clean installation of LR 3.4.1 and CR 6.4.1 but the problem persists. (I use LR 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit; with PS 12.1 64 bit I have the same problem)
Yes, the camera is ok, and with Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.10 all is perfect, the same picture is amazing.
Is there any solution please?
Thank you!
Davide

It may be that DPP knows how much default noise reduction to apply to your G12's raw images and Lightroom doesn't.
Can you adjust LR's noise reduction sliders to get a better image? If so, you could make that amount of reduction a default.
If that doesn't work for you, could you post a sample raw image somewhere that we could bring it into Lightroom and see what you are writing about?

Problem with Canon 6D raw files on LR "4.3"

Hi
I am having some problems with LR 4.3. This is what happened after I import my 2nd batch of 6D raws to the library (300+ photos). 1st batch of <30 raws were ok. I have yet to do basic troubleshooting but this is something never happened to me with my older cams and older LR versions.

The import operation of LR has a backup to an alternate location function which is normally how you'd recover from this sort of situation--retrieve things from the backup location. Presumably you don't have backups for anything, though.
I’d try it in another computer, at least, and see if it comes back to life. The easiest thing to try is recover the photos off your memory cards. Google for photo-recovery programs.
If a hardware component on the drive, itself, failed, then there’s probably nothing anyone outside the factory can do, and then maybe not, either. It would involve swapping the data-storage portion of the device to another device with its circuitry intact and seeing if things started working again. This would only work if the data-storage portion of the device was still ok and the other circuitry had gone bad.
If something on your computer wrote bad-data to the partition table or boot areas, then the files, themselves, may still be there and findable by a low-level recovery program. Google for hard-drive and partition recovery programs:

Problems with Canon 7D RAW files

I am using Elements 8 with Bridge and how downloaded and installed the latest ACR (version 6.2). I have also purged the cache for all folders on my iMAC, but the CR2 files still show only as blank icons. Any idea what to do next?

ACR is not expected to generate preview thumbnails in Windows Explorer.
You will not see thumbnails nor be able to preview your .CR2 files on a 64 bit system without the installation of a special codec to do the job. If you haven't already noticed, you can't even normally see thumbnails for .PSD files either (and this, at least, Adobe really should provide).
I use and recommend the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack, which will enable .CR2 thumbnails as well as (with just this week's release) .PSD thumbnails. It's inexpensive, and helps integrate your digital photography into your computer environment. I have no affiliation with this product, other than being a satisfied user.

Problem with Canon RAW 5D/7D Raw file and Magenta highlights

Hi everyone,
I've noticed a problem with some Canon RAW nightly shots when in scene are present magenta spotlights (also red and blue):
In the core of light, magenta color become "solarized" and white burned, and there is no way to recover it with any Adjustments. (also but in minor way, Red and Blue lights)
Opening the RAW file in Canon Digital Photo Pro the same images are perfect:
(left image Aperture3 - right image Canon DPP)
Any suggestion?

I have exactly the same problem with the 7D RAW files. I have tried Leopard+ Aperture 2, Snow Leopard + Aperture 3 trial and nothing makes a difference. Horrible magenta colour cast on the neutral tones, yet the blues are over-saturated and total lack of sharpness no matter what you do.
I shot JPEG (neutral) and RAW together so know what they should look like. I don't get any problems with Canon DPP software so the error seems to be in the Aperture RAW converter. The issue seems to be more apparent in low light or images with a lot of neutral tones, other images shot outside in good light appear to be pretty much ok. I even tried the latest version of Lightroom and that can't seem to handle them well either.
The link below was a thread that was running on the 7D problems, but no solution was ever provided.

Lightroom 1.4 & Camera Raw 1.4.1 & Canon 50D raw images

I am about to test a Canon 50D in conjunction with a Canon 20D.
Will I be able to work with the 50D raw files with my version of lightroom?
I have not moved to Version 2 lightromm because of the many reports about it's slugish performance.
Your help would be appreciated.
Roy Palmer

All you have to do is make sure that you are always using the very latest version of the DNG converter. Yes, the very latest. It is not necessary to match the DNG version with the ACR/Lightroom version.
When I use the DNG converter, I usually open the card in Windows Explorer, highlight all of the images, then drag them onto the icon for the DNG converter. The converter starts, I specify where I want the files to be placed, and then click on the Convert button. That's really all there is to it. Yes, it takes a few seconds for the DNG converter to convert the images. But it's really as simple as a download.

Problem with Canon LPB 6670,

Hello, I have problem with Canon LPB 6670, while printing both sides the paper is jammed every time

First clarify this statement...
I captured video, and when I went on FCP and did log and capture, it said the camcorder was offline.<</div>
Have you already captured with this camera or are you trying to capture with it now?
If you're trying to capture with it now, are you capturing to an external harddrive? If so, the problem may be because you're overtaxing your FW bus.
If you're not already, you might try capturing to your internal (so the iMac is only accessing the camera on the single FW bus), then transfer the media to an external to edit.
Does the iMac recognize the camera? (check in System Profiler)
Is the camera in playback mode?
Have you tried shutting down and making sure your camera is on before opening FCP?

Raw file rendering problems with Canon EOS 5D in Aperture 3

Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I have had serious problems with the rendering of Canon EOS 5D (not Mark II/III) RAW files. With Aperture 2, both the preview and full-sized images looked basically the same as the original images as displayed on the camera's display, without any adjustments.
With Aperture 3, each preview images initially look fine after import, but when Aperture re-renders it from the RAW file (e.g. when displaying the full-size image), the colors are drastically intensified, and the hue is shifted generally towards green/blue. I've checked the RAW Fine Tuning, and it is set to the defaults. If I turn the default RAW Fine Tuning settings all the way down, the image is still not at all like the preview from the camera - it becomes much darker and stays too blue/green, with washed-out colors.
A friend with a Canon EOS 5D MkII also recently upgraded her Mac from Aperture 2 to 3, and hasn't experienced any problems. We've tried importing RAW files from my (non-MkII) camera to her Mac (with the default RAW Fine Tuning settings), and get the same results as with my own Mac (i.e. strange colors), so the problem seems to be related to the camera model.
I've also noticed that scanned greyscale tiff images (including images that were originally imported under Aperture 2) are changed when first displayed by Aperture 3 - they become darker and more contrasty, with lots of information lost in the shadow areas.
I've also tried removing Aperture preferences, Aperture itself, and re-installing from download, with no change in the problem. (Aperture is the current latest version, 3.3.2.)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I'm having the same problem.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.3.2. Workflow is importing through Canon's DPP and then using referenced images in Aperture. The images look great in LR4, or Canon's DPP but are flat and dingy in Aperture.
There's a free preset that goes part way to fixing it at http://theapertureblog.com/2011/02/10/my-aperture-workflow-for-working-with-cano n-5d-mark-ii-files/
but as good as this fix is, it doesn't quite do the trick. [not being a hater, and not saying I can do better]
I just got back from shoooting 1,500 images with a 5DMii and a T2i using Canon 24-105L IS, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.8 and a Sigma 120-400 and the T2i images are not just better, they're in a different league.
I've tried shooting in Faithful, Neutral and also toggling these presets in different ways and still can't get Aperture to match what I see on the camera's screen or in other Apps. I love the interface and DB of Aperture, but what's the point of using it if it doesn't produce and awesome image in the end?

RAW Processing problems with Canon 5D Mark iii

I am having problems with the RAW files coming from my new 5D Mark iii in Aperture. I have the latest version of Aperture (and update) installed. Selecting a picture style on the 5D doesn't seem to yield any results because when I import the photo into aperture all the images go very dark. I have to pull the exposure levels up all the way to get a decent exposure. The histogram on my camera looks perfect but when imported into Aperutre the histogram changes. I have my custom picture style set to give me a very flat image (contrast off, sharpening off, saturation -2, color tone 0). The images looks very flat and perfect in my LCD but once imported into aperture the RAW processing makes it very dark. I even tried shooting the exact photo in three completely different picture styles but they all look identical once they are in aperture. What's going on??

Here is a side by side comparison of a RAW image in the latest versions of Aperture and Lightroom. I have never had these issues with the 5D Mark II only the Mark III. As you can see Lightroom produces a nice flat image while Aperture is under-exposing the image. Any thoughts? I really want to continue to use Aperture but with my recent camera upgrade to the Mark III I don't see how this is possible. Anyones help would be much appreciated.

My canon T5i raw photos won't load into PS CS4 on my Mac with Yosemite

I Recently got a new Canon T5i. I also had to get a new hard drive for my Mac, it came with Yosemeti on it. I am unable to open RAW photos in my PS CS4. I downloaded the 7.4 update but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, photoshop cs4 can only use up to camera raw 5.7, so you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the canon T5i files to dng copies which photoshop cs4 should then open.

Import problems with Canon 1Ds Mk3 raw pictures

Lightroom 2 does not recognize any raw files from my 1Ds Mk3 - says "found no files to import". It does recognize jpg, though. Lightroom acceps raw pictures from my other camera body, the Canon 1 D Mk3.
Any pictures imported from these cameras are upside down in the import preview mode but correct after import. The same goes for my Canon G10 camera as well.This upside down phenomena was not any problem with LR 1 - came with the release of LR2.
Any suggestions out there?

The problems occur only when importing directly from the cameras
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits
I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but don't do that! When you d/l from a camera, the OS gets involved in ways that it doesn't when it's seeing merely an external drive, as it does when you use a card reader.
If you have to d/l from the camera, put them into a directory, then disconnect, then Import.

Having problems with Canon Raw / Jpeg with Canon 5D

I have been noticing every time I open up a Raw file in CS2 the colors seem to be off and when I open up the Jpeg pic. they are compleatley different. The Jpeg files colors really pop, where the Raw files look blowen out and take a lot of work in editing.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade to the CS4 package? Or is it a camera setting that I am missing?
When I was shooting a Canon 10D both Raw and Jpeg were the same and the colors were good. Thanks Keig

What you are seeing is the difference between how Canon develops the images and how Adobe develops the image (in CS2). Your options are somewhat limited in CS2 but you can try the following:
Open up a 5D image in Camera Raw.
Make adjustments to make the image look as close to the Jpeg as you can. This will probably mean adding some contrast, upping the shadows/blacks clipping point, and adding some saturation.
Save those settings as a new Camera Raw default. I don't remember if that is in the same place it is now ("Save new camera raw default" from the fly-out menu on the tab bar) but look around and you should find it.
The hardest part will be trying to get a good match on the color. An upgrade to CS4 would give you many enhancements to Camera Raw, including new Canon-like profiles that will give you 5D color similar to what you get in-camera or from Canon's Digital Photo Professional software.
Hope that helps.
