RAW Compatibility with Canon 450D

I have a Canon 450D. I believe the RAW format is not sRAW but the usual RAW (pls correct me if I am wrong). There has been a recent update (May) that is supposed to extend aperture's RAW compatibility to the 450D. However, for me, the files still show up as 'unsupported file format'. For info, the trial version of Lightroom imports these fine. Is there something I am missing or is the update not doing what it is supposed to?

Support for the 450D was added in May 2008, not May this year.

As far as I know, the 450D doesn't have the option of shooting in SRAW format anyway, so if your OS is up to date I don't know why you're getting that message.

Corrupted Raw Files with Canon 450D

I connect Canon Rebel XSi (450D) DSLR to Mac via USB. Adobe Bridge Launches(updated to Camera Raw 4.5 => ~\Library\Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats). I choose to download all pictures (jpeg & CR2). The download takes place.
Thumbnails appear for both jpgs & cr2s in Adobe Bridge. When any cr2 is clicked on to open, Photoshop Elements 6.0 opens but will not open the raw file -it indicates that file type is unknown.
The CR2 files downloaded from Adobe Bridge are only 2-3 MB, but the originals on the SD RAM card are well over 10 MB. So something is happening to the files during the download.
If the SD card is inserted in a USB adapter and connected to PC, the download works fine and files retain their original size. This problem
only occurs with direct Camera to PC USB connection.
Does anyone have any insight to what could be causing this or any fixes?
Thanks!

My advice to you is to
always use a card reader. See this other thread:

HT4757 Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?

Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?
It's a good camera which I think has been overlooked in this area?
Any advice you good people?

Hello,
I don't know when but you can send a message to Apple so they can add that in a next update (not 100% sure but you can try).

Compatability with Canon 60D SLR camera

Getting the latest Canon 60D SLR camera for Christmas and want to use RAW editing with iPhoto 11 & Aperture 3. Anyone know if there are any compatability issues?

Same answer as your thread on iPhoto forum.

Importing RAW images from Canon 450D SLR

I run iPhoto 6 and I have recently updated my digital SLR from a Canon 300D to a 450D. I was able to import CRW Raw files from the 300D but iPhoto will not import Raw images from the 450D (jpegs are ok), which are now coded CR2 instead of CRW. I note that there is a Raw image software update, available but this is only for iPhoto 8. Short of updating to iPhoto 8 is there another solution?

I was afraid that might be the answer, but many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Camera RAW issues with Canon T4i

I have many, many cameras and have used Photoshop and Bridge for years. Even though the latest updates for Camera RAW says it can handle the T4i, I tried opening these files on two separate computers, both running Win 7 64 bit, and my having Photoshop Extended 5+ 64 bit on both computers.
I tried reformatting the camera card, wanting to eliminate that as a possible problem, and the same problem exists.
Camera RAW will recognize all of my other cameras, the D Mark III, T3i, Nikon D2x, D3, D3X, so on and so forth, but not the T4i.
I stopped short of doing an image restore on that machine, thinking my installation of Photoshop must have been corrupted when I removed Elements and Preimere Elements, but no...I'm now on an IBM W701 with the same software and I have the same probem.
If someone from Adobe would like me to send them a file from the T4i, I will. If I shoot in jpeg, there are no issues. But I do not shoot in jpeg. I only did it to see if perhaps it were the SD card.
Any help would be appreciated.

With Photoshop CS5 (I think that's what you said) you no longer have access to the latest updates for Camera Raw.
Photoshop CS5 can only take up to Camera Raw 6.7 (latest version is 7.1, which goes with Photoshop CS6 only).
You'll either need to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG converter and go through the extra step of converting your T4i images to DNG before opening them in Camera Raw 6.7.

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.

IPhoto compatibility with Canon G 15 camera?

Will iPhoto 9.5.1 take downloads from the Canon Powershot G 15 camera? If so, does anyone know if those photos can be imported into PhotoShop GS 15?

Are you shooting RAW? The RAW format of Canon Powershot G15 is supported by Mavericks, and thus by iPhoto 9.5.1.
See: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
And JPEGs are usually compatible from any camera, if the card is readable by the Mac.

IS Elements 13 compatable with Canon 70D RAW format?

I am using Elements 10 and it is not compatible with the RAW format of a Canon 70D. Will the new Elements 13 be compatible? Jim

Aperture 3 bad raw conversion with Canon files

Hi, Aperture is converting my 6400 iso raws into images I can't work with to my satisfaction. For pleasure I shot a staged disco dance event with some fun colorful lighting. When imported into Aperture via card reader the previews look somewhat similar to the Rebel's LCD jpg rendition.
One example, the stage light beams which are enhanced by smoke machines have one light with blue and another with magenta. When I click on that preview, the spinning wheel appears as usual saying loading which I believe is applying Aperture's interpretation algorithms. The results are stripping all the magenta and no matter what I do with the controls such as enhancement I can't get back the correct color. Remember the first loaded preview are similar to what I see in camera.
I rarely shoot this high of iso and I'm finding adjustments with highlights to be extremely sensitive with a much lower threshold of adjustment. On most of the previews I attempted adjustment I preferred the look before Aperture converted them. Clicking "M" for master does not revert back to what I first saw before selecting it. I can't get back to that original first imported look. I can see the differences in the previews side by side, one I click on and a similar shot I didn't.
I have never had this criticism before with this camera at 100 iso though it is recently acquired by a few months and never had this complaint with any of my NEF Nikon files. At first when beginning import the preview widow scrambled the order of the files where some images sat besides other images taken at an entirely different time. I closed everything and restarted and at first it did it again then corrected the order to which I hit the import button. I kept the images on the card and now will reload them directly onto my HD first. I'm reluctant to load into Aperture directly until I figure out what is going on.
I did download Canon's DPP processor and it did hold onto the colors that you see with the thumbnails you see to the left of the selected image. Go figure. I have not touched any of the import settings in preferences.
Your suggestions appreciated.
John

So what you're seeing initially at import is the JPEG that the camera generates as a preview for the image. All RAW files have this; the JPEG is what's used by the camera itself to give you the preview on the back of the camera.
When Aperture imports, it will initially show you the JPEG. Then, once it renders its own version, based on the raw converter built into OS X, it will show you that updated preview (which is also a JPEG). From that point on, that's what you'll see, and you can't get the RAW-embedded JPEG again.
If you use Canon's DPP, you're going to get a rendering that looks like what you saw on the camera, because they have access to their algorithms that they use for RAW->JPEG conversion. Apple doesn't have access to this; they make their own raw converter.
It may be possible that there are issues with Apple's raw converter in specific circumstances (i.e. high ISO images on a certain camera with heavy magenta or odd lighting). You don't say what version of Aperture and OS X you're using, but it looks like it is not Aperture 3.6 + Yosemite. It may be worth upgrading to see if it's something that's improved (an easier way is if you have access to a machine with Yosemite, just open one of the RAW files in Preview, as that uses the same raw converter, to see if it's better).

RAW Processing with Canon 5D Mark iii

Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3.1 I started to notice a huge decrease in the sharpness of my images. I have checked previous threads and followed up on my Highlight Tone priority settings as well as Post Import Raw Process setting. Having messed around with both settings I have been unable to fix this issue. So I went ahead and downloaded a copy of Lightroom to test. Images imported into lightroom at full 1:1 previews are sharp as a tack. What could be causing my issue with Aperture. I do not want to have to switch but at this point I might not have a choice.
I am importing mRAW files without JPG and applying no Presets. The first time I click on the image it initially loads sharp and then after a split second it becomes "blurry"
Any one else seeing this issue still and have any advice?
Shooting with a Canon 5D MK3.
Thanks
Brad

Wish I had an answer here, but I will caution about mRAW files. I wouldn't use them, as they are the "red-headed stepchild" of RAW files. They are not true RAW files, and Aperture's support for them came much later than regular RAW files.
I'd recommend shooting regular RAW files and just deleting more of the non-keepers if space is an actual consideration.
Here's an article that goes into details (mostly on sRAW, but mRAW is the same thing, pretty much):

Aperture and RAW support with Canon EOS 60D

Got my new Canon EOS 60D yesterday. But Aperture does not support the new RAW photos from the EOS 60D yet.
Anyone with the same problem?
When is Apple updating the RAW support for the 60D in Aperture?

Well, DNGs don't actually contain all the data of the original raw file, so that could be an issue.
As an example, the focus point functionality of Aperture 3.0 doesn't work with files converted to DNG, as the camera-specific information has been stripped from the file by Adobe. I don't know whether the DNG format can actually hold that info or not, but as of today it doesn't.
Apple historically has tended to support the new SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, so I wouldn't be surprised if support came along shortly. That said, buying a camera the day it's available and expecting immediate support for its raw format is not all that reasonable. The vendors providing raw support don't necessarily have access to pre-release versions of the cameras (in general), so there's going to be some time necessary to develop and QA the support for the new format.

Lightroom 2 Compatibility with Canon 7D

I have Lightroom 2. Can I use it with my RAW files from my Canon 7D? I know I had to upgrade from CS3 because it wouldn't work with my 7D.....Thanks!

The 7D was added in Lightroom 2.6. So upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom 2 (2.7), and you should be good.
