Processing Canon G10 RAW Images in CS3 and Lightroom 2.1

I've not found a post on point. If I've missed one, sorry.
Contemplating getting a G10. After research here's what I understand. Please, correct me if I am wrong:
1. To process a G10 image in ACR, one has to have 5.2. One cannot use 5.2 in CS3. To process the image in CS3 one has to first convert to DNG. This can be done by way of a separate converter OR in Lightroom 2.1, on import.
2. Lightroom 2.1 will process the image in either RAW or DNG formats.
So, since I own both Lightroom and CS3 -- I will be able to use ACR in Lightroom if I don't want to convert to DNG first.
Am I right?
I don't want to buy the camera if I can't use my usual workflow.
Thanks.

PS. I think my CS4 Master Suite will arrive tomorrow. But, there is a lot of odd information about ACR and the G10 out there so I thought I'd take the time to clear it up and see if I got it right.

Lightroom 2.1 does NOT support native files from the G10. LR 2.2, which will be released in December will. So for both programs you need to use the Adobe DNG converter 5.2 to convert to DNG for the time being. It is unclear whether when you have LR 2.2 and CS3 installed whether "Edit in Photoshop" will work correctly with files from cameras such as the G10. It will always work fine if you use dng.

  • Canon 5D Mark II, Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.4

    All,
    I know that this has to have been answered elsewhere, but I have not found what I'm looking for.
    I have purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera which will arrive Wednesday.  As far as software on my Mac Pro, I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, which includes (obviously) Photoshop CS3.  I am also running Lightroom 2.4.  I am under the understanding that in order to open RAW files from the 5D Mark II, you need to have Adobe Camera Raw 5.X, which is not supported by Photoshop CS3.  I also understand that Lightroom 2.4 CAN open the 5D Mark II RAW files.  First off, are both of my statements to this point accurate?  If so, can I use Lightroom to open the RAW files, do whatever adjusting I would like in Lightroom, then export the modified file (in TIFF, for example) to Photoshop CS3, and go on my way?  Or will this not work?
    If the answer is no, what are my options for using the software that I have with my Canon 5D Mark II?  Am I REQUIRED, now, to upgrade to Photoshop CS4?  If so, can I buy the CS4 Upgrade for Design Premium, if my CS3 Design Premium is the Education version?
    Thanks for any help on this...I'm hoping to avoid spending any more money than I need to in software just to be able to process images from my new camera.  I'm sure I could always use the Canon supplied software to open the RAW files, but I'd prefer to do so in the Adobe family of programs.

    cabasner,
    I upgraded to CS4 when I got my 5D2, and I can't stress enough how much better CS4 is. It's worth the upgrade even if you didn't get the 5D2. It's more stable that CS3, and ACR is insanely better (as is the Bridge... that's actually usable now!). ACR in CS4 has Adjustment brushes for Exposure... that's right, touch-up areas in ACR and it's totally non-destructive. Vibrance has been added also. In PS, your Dodge & Burn tools have a totally new algorithm which works so much better it's nuts. You even have a Legacy checkbox to see the difference. With the insane amount of image data in the 5D2, those tools work very well. You also have OpenGL support in CS4 now, which means you can view the image at any percentage and it looks like 25/50/75/100. And since your graphics card is now used, Photoshop CS4 is FASTER. And with the Clone Tool you can see what will be put down on the image inside the tool's circle, BEFORE you press the mouse. Talk about an easy way to line up the edit! Oh, then there's all the Adjustment layers... man, talk about a non-destructive time-saving edit! And the panels now stay off to the side, not covering up the image anymore. There's more, I'm, not even remembering everything. Adobe got PS right with this version. I would spring for CS4 in a New York minute, it's the perfect partner for our 5D2s.

  • Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

    I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
    Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
    My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
    Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS  - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
    Thanks
    Gor

    Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff.  In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
    This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
    UPDATE
    FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

  • How do I process Canon G15 Raw files in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi - I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm having trouble processing Canon G15 Raw files. I downloaded the most recent Camera Raw converter but it didn't seem to wrong. I suspect I'm doing something wrong in the installation process. Thanks!!

    The G15 needs Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3 or higher. Unfortunately CS5 can’t be updated beyond ACR 6.7. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in CS5 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Editing and saving RAW in Photoshop CS3 and iPhoto

    So I have a specific question. I right click an Image, select "edit in external editor" then edit RAW image using CS3, so far so good. But then I save it "in existing folder", so I have a .jpg of my edited image. NOW what I want to do is have that file imported into iphoto so I can view the thumbnail and organize, but I don't want to have to do that to 500 images in different folders. Is there any way to "refresh" iphoto and import files in those folder already in my itunes library? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ian

    No, in a word.
    You need to save the processed RAW to the desktop and then import it to iPhoto. It will be treated as a new image.
    OF course you can move it around in the iPhoto Window if you wish to the preferred location.

  • Canon G10 RAW in CS2?

    I use CS2 successfully with my Canon 5DMk1 RAW images, but even though it appears to be fully updated it won't read RAW from my G10.  Is there a plug in for the G10, or do I have to upgrade to a later version of CS?  Must I go to CS4, or will CS3 work?

    You need the latest version of the DNG Converter, available here:

  • I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? can not go to updates either- error?

    I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? the same program on stationary mac can open the same raw files, whereas new lap top can not? Why?  can not go to updates either- error, why?

    Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
    What error do you get when going to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5.1?
    You might try downloading and installing the 6.7 camera raw update from here:

  • How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images?

    How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images from my camera?

    You cannot read your G16 native raw files with any version of LR 4 so there’s no information, here, about paying to update from LR4 to LR 4.4.  You need LR 5.2 to read G16 raw files natively.  LR 4.x to LR 5.x is a pay-for upgrade.
    Alternatively you can use the DNG Converter 8.2 or newer to convert the G16 raw files to DNG raw files and those will work in your older LR 4 version.
    Adobe updates whatever the current version is with new cameras, so once LR 5 came out LR 4.x ceased to be updated for new cameras.

  • Can't import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6

    unable to import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6 (Mac OS-X (10.5.8) - any ideas?

    You'll need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.5 - Search the Support/Downloads site for that.
    It still may not work. Iphoto 6 is an elderly piece of software now and predates your camera by several years. If it doesn't work you'll need to update to iPhoto 09 or later.

  • Can PSE 10 open Canon G16 Raw images?

    I am a professional photographer and educator. I have a client who just purchased a Canon G16. He has PSE 10, and he has contracted with me for some tutoring. I want to include editing G16 Raw images.
    However, I wonder if PSE 10 can open G16 Raw images?
    My client's computer is not powerful enough to upgrade to PSE 12.
    I understand that I can have him convert the Canon G16 Raw images to DNG's using the free Adobe converter and import those into PSE 10, but I was hoping that PSE 10 could use the new 8.2 Raw Converter from Adobe that includes the G16, so it could import the images directly.
    Thanks,
    Russ

    The Camera Raw plug-in for PSE10 was last updated in the spring or summer of 2012.  If the G16 is newer than that (it certainly is), then the DNG Converter is the only route. 
    I see on the list of supported cameras, that the G16 was first supported with ACR 8.2, so you’d need the DNG Converter 8.2 or newer (8.3 ATM):

  • Canon S120 RAW images not working with iPhoto. Why.

    Canon S120 RAW images why they can't be downloaded to iPhoto and/or when will Apple upgrade iPhoto so they can?

    Raw Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. That's Model not brand. The Raw from an S120 is not the same as the Raw from an S110 and so on. This is a pretty new camera, and the makes don't supply the Raw decoding, so they have to be reverse engineered. Then that will be released as part of an OS or camera raw update.
    Let Apple know you want this camera supported.

  • Adobe cs3 and lightroom

    Hi,
    Are there any MB users who can let me know if these apps run well on a 2.2 with 2mb of ram, macbook. I am a photographer who is looking to go apple and for the sort of work it will be needed for the size of the MB suits my needs rather than a MBP. Any help would be great.

    My partner runs phtoshop cs3 and lightroom on a 1st gen cor duo macbook with 2mb of ram, the images take a second or two to sharpen when you open RAW images, other than that everything works pretty well, if you are buying a new one you shouldn't have any problems, go for it, you wont be disappointed.
