Problems rendering raw with Olympus OM-D

I love Aperture. Have been using it for years. However, I just had problems with raw files shot with my Olympus OM-D.
I recently went on a National Geographic Expedition in New York taught by Joe McNally. Fantastic experience.
The outdoor raw OM-D shots were rendered ok. The inside photos were a disaster. The camera jpg's were fine. The Lightroom conversions were better than the jpgs. But Aperture and Preview had a strong magenta cast that I could not correct for. I took them to the local Apple store and their Aperture expert had no explanation or suggestions. Any ideas?

Support for RAW with Olympus XZ-1

Hi Everyone,
I just recently purchased an Olympus XZ1 to add to my collection of digital cameras (have a Canon SD800 ELPH and EOS Rebel XSi). I just purchased the camera about 3 weeks ago, and never bothered to research the compatibility, as I assumed Aperture was good to go. Silly me! I just got back from vacation and began attempting to upload the images to Aperture, and received the "unsupported format" error message.
I started researching this issue online, and I have seen this question asked, but all of the questions and answers were from May and earlier. Since technology changes on a daily basis, I figured I would ask it again.
From everything I have read, it appears as though support for the Olympus XZ-1 did not come out until Digital Camera Raw 3.7. So my assumption is that I would need to upgrade from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3 in order to be able to use Aperture with my new Olympus XZ1. Can someone confirm that for me?
Thank you all for your time!
Jeff

Lion is 10.7, Snow Lepoard is 10.6, Leopard is 10.5.
I woul strongly recomend you update to 10.6.8 (the last snow lepoard update) for a number of reasons. First 10.6.8. is a solid OS at this point you won't have to many (or any) gotcha's. Second Leopard (10.5.x) is going away. Pretty sure there will be no more updates for it at this point. If not it won't be long before that happens. Also you will need to have 10.6.8 installed in the event you want to at some point upgrade to Lion.
But finally perhaps the most important point if you don't have 10.6.8 you can't acess the App Store and if you can;t acess the App Store you will need to get the boxed version of Aperture 3. The differerence in price between the boxed version and the App Store version will more then pay for the upgrade to Snow Leopard. In fact you should have a fair bit of change left over.
good luck

Problems rendering site with IE HW acceleration on

I use Windows 7 (64-bit) with Internet Explorer 9 (32-bit). I have Flash Player 10,3,183,7. It is installed and enabled. I have checked for updates to my Intel Graphics Media Acclerator HD driver, and received the message that "Windows has determined the driver software of your device is up to date." The driver version is 8.15.10.1968.
My issue is that when I try to view certain web sites (such as www.RoyalCanin.us), they do not display properly. If I take the steps to select "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering." as some posts suggested, the web site displays properly.
Is there anything that I can do to avoid having to click this setting on and off? Or is that what I'm going to have to do?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Instead of disabling hardware acceleration in IE's control panel, can you see if it also changes things when you do it with Flash Player's settings dialog?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
Thanks,
Chris

Bug in Crop tool with Olympus E-M5 raw files (ORF)

There is a bug in the crop tool with Olympus OM-D E-M5 RAW files (ORF) that is still not fixed with the recent update. Here is how to reproduce the problem.
I setup my E-M5 camera picture aspect ratio to 3:2 (instead of the sensor 4:3) and file format to RAW.
I take a picture.
I import the picture in Lightroom. The first thumbnail I see is the full sensor, then Lightroom computes a new thumbnail and correctly display the 3:2 crop factor.
I select the picture in the library and press [R] to bring the Crop tool.
BUG: The Crop tool does not let me recover the full 4:3 sensor image and is locked to the 3:2 crop factor.
Can this be fixed? Thanks

Are you sure you mean Photoshop version 6 the is a very old version of Photoshop before ACR existed. ACR first became available as a extra cost plug-in for Photoshop version 7. ACR started to be shipped with Photoshop with Photoshop CS. Each version since Photoshop CS has a newer version of ACR which is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop. So
CS ACR version is 2.4
CS2 ACR version 3.7
CS3 ACR version 4.6
CS4 ACR version 5.7
CS5 ACR version 6.7
CS6 and CC ACR version 8.4 however the new features in ACR 8.4 for CC are crippled in CS6. CS6 just get the new Camera support.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows
If you have CS6 use menu help>Updates it should find the ACR 8.4 for CS6 and update your installation. If it does not you can down load it and the DNG converter. However don't convert to DNG just use your OFR RAW files.
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/04/camera-raw-8-4-and-dng-converter-8-4-now-a vailable.html
If you do mean Photoshop version 6 you need to see if Olympus has a RAW converter for Photoshop version 6 for your camera.

That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.

Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
What I am having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type such as PNG or jpg.
I have attached a screen capture of what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
As far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.

Odd Maze Pattern with Olympus E-P1 & DNG Converter

Hello. I wanted to report an odd maze pattern when I convert a raw file from the Olympus E-P1. It seems to happen when using wide angle lenses (Zeiss 21/4.5 C Biogon and Zeiss 25/2.8 Biogon. The maze pattern is very prominent in the right corners of the image attached, where some softness is exhibited by the lens. Anyone else experiencing this? I do not get these patterns when converting with Olympus Studio or CaptureOne. -Norm

Hello Eric,
Many thanks for your reply. I sent two RW2 files; 295 made with the
Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 15mm II at f/11, and file 299 with the
Leica Summicron-C 40 mm at f/8.
The maze artifacts are most visible in the top righthand corner. The
longer the focal point of the lens the less visible seem the artifacts.
Although I have seen posts on Flickr that the artifacts can change
with the same focal point lenses of different brands. A 35mm Zeiss
showed maze artifacts while a 35 Leitz did not.
I had some more interesting pictures with nice blue skies but these
had already been converted to DNG (still showing strong maze artifacts).
If I can supply any more files or information please do not hesitate
to ask.
Best regards,
Herb

LR 4 RC2 ...vexing problem, 3 sessions with support and still not able to find? With all settings reset and running a test catalog a raw image when opened in develop will when imediately going back to library view show a significant color shift in red, orange and purple but only in images with significant content in those colors. at first the culprit appeared to be camera calibration default but not reproducable. The problem exists even when opening older images from months ago? Also if second screen running in loupe mode the image is not shifted.
Any ideas please
Dave

Jim01403, Geoff and others...I'm new here so I'll need a little time The thread is very interesting, populated by serious mature people, how refreshing! It clearly is part of what i'm experiencing and is answered answered here...thank you. My main problem is still the significant color shift between develope and library modules. I'll attach one from each so you and others can see. Unfortunately the library version is the bad one so printing is now very problematic...Note, this occurs in either single or with second monitor on the library version is displayed. I have reset virtually everything and wonder if a cache is not updating or color space is not matching? A symptom/detail worth noting, when switching to library mode, the correct image is displayed for about a second then it jumps to what you see in the examples. As if the library module starts to rendering from develope settings then jumps tback to the original inedited preview??
Maybe just go back to 3.6 and tread water till 4.1 is fixed?

Can't open raw with lumix gx1 elements 9

Hi Group,
Windows 7, Elements 9   Panasonic lumix gx1
I tried acr 6.5 but it won't open the lumix raw files. One site I found said that this camera needs 6.6 but that update failed. I don't won't to update to elements 10 as I see no reason to do this. Does anyone know what or if it's possible to get these files to open in Elements 9?
Thanks,
Michael

I finally downloaded the coverter. I refuse to buy Elements 10 when there is nothing new that I need. Maybe 11 when I see what it does but I doubt it. The coverter works just fine. Michael

Actually, the problem is that Adobe seems to be wanting to force their users into purchasing otherwise unnecessary upgrades. I, too, use Elements 9, and it does everything I need...except read the RAW files from my new GX-1. Yes, I can download the DNG converter (and I have), but that adds an extra, and unnecessary, step to processing. Adobe's reputation for not respecting their customers isn't unwarranted.

Adf application not rendered correctly with url ip and url localhost.

Hi all.
I have a strange problem. When I enter to my adf application deployed in a local stand alone weblogic server with the ip:
http://localhost:7001/Application/faces/index
it renders fine. But when I load it with the url:
http://10.5.14.15:7001/Application/faces/index (private ip), it doesn´t render fine. Tables haven´t the same style, and some elements appear selected like if I have selected them with the mouse.
This problem only happens with internet explorer, not with Chrome.
Also when I see a table inside a region in a jspx, the with of the header of the columns is not rendered correctly, causing the width of the header row not be the same than the other rows.
This problem also happens only with internet explorer.
Any help please?
Internet Explorer 8. JDeveloper 11g.2. Weblogic 10.3.5.0
Also happens with Internet Explorer.
Maybe encoding? doctype?
Thanks

What would the DOCTYPE have to do with the IP address?
Have you looked at the HTML source in the different browsers and tried to debug what's wrong? Sounds like there may be some images/css files that aren't being downloaded in IE when you use that IP address. Are you sure IE isn't configured with a proxy?

Problems loading RAW files from Canon 6D in Elements 10

Elements 10 - Windows: I have been using the software for a couple of years and never had a problem loading RAW files from my Canon T2i ir 60D, however I just purchased a Canon 6D and when I try to load a RAW from the 6D I get Cannot open 'C:\User...CR2' because it is the wrong type of file. I thought cameraraw 6.5 patch would be the fix but when trying to install I get "Error loading Updater workflow"

Will the DNG files perform the same, meaning will I retain all the information that makes RAW important for processing?
Yes. That's why DNGs were invented. Adobe has put a lot of work into the DNG format for this very reason.
Raw files are proprietary and manufacturer specific. Raw formats change with every make and model of camera. Software must be updated for the new Raw format of every single camera. Adobe does an admirable job of upgrading Camera Raw for every new camera.
DNG is also a Raw format but it's open source and works in any software which can read the DNG format. If camera manufacturers used the DNG format instead of their own Raw format, you would not have to upgrade Elements 10. But they don't, and probably never will, so you must upgrade the Camera Raw plugin (and therefore Elements 10 since it's not compatible with the new Camera Raw) to read the new Raw format from the 6D or add another step to your workflow with conversion to DNG first.

Problems emptying RAW files from Recycle Bin

Hi
I am not sure, but think my problem is connected with Lightroom 1.4.1
When I delete RAW files from disc via Lightroom, they go into the Recycle Bin. However, I am unable to delete them from the bin without using an unlocker program. This is because when I choose to delete individual RAW files from the bin (or choose completely empty bin)I get a message saying that file Dq(number) cannot be deleted as it may be in use by another program. But no other program is open.
I think this only applies to RAW files (Canon CR2) where I have created an editable file in Photoshop CS3. I am fed up with the tedious task of removing each individual Dq/CR2 file from the Recycle bin (the unlocker program will not let me batch delete) and suspect a workaround involving removing the CR2 files from the Lightroom catalogue and then deleting them from their source folder might work.
However, this semms a clumsy way of having to do thistask.
Has anyone else come across this please and does anyone have an elegant solution? Oh, the files concerned are all on an external hard disc, but I cannot see why this should affect things.

Hi, Andrew. I do not have an external HD, so I am not sure if this is related. LR 1.4's seems to do some odd things with files that it sees as Read Only, such as from a CD, DVD, or external drive. Maybe it has something to do with this. Also, can you exit LR, then dumb Recycle Bin normally?

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.
