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 file rendering problems with Pentax-k5

    Since a few weeks I have serious problems with the raw rendering in aperture 3.4. I have done everything to solve this problem, but until now without succes. I have upgrade with mountain lion OS X 10.8.2 and I use the latest version of aperture 3.4.3 RAW 402 build 672.6.
    Does anyone have this problem to? Or do you know how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Jan K.

    Jan,
    that may be the same problem as discussed in this thread. Do you use in-camera settings to enhance your pictures? these will not be captured in the raw processing that Aperture does, but the pentax software understands the in-camera settings:

  • Problem with Canon EOS 5D MK II & LR 2.2

    Good day! I love LR. I've used it very successfully wih my Nikon D-80. I've recently purchased a Canon EOS 5D MK II & upgraded to LR 2.2. I've got an issue with importing RAW images. None of the 3 RAW sizes are recognized by LR. When I go to import the images from device, the RAW picture files are displayed as gray blocks with no picture detail. Check marks are still there and I can go through the motions of importing, but there is always an error message that the files are unrecognizable. I would hate to start shooting in JPEG again. Does anyone have any advise that may help?
    Thanks ahead
    Rich

    Try using a dedicated card reader instead of importing directly from the camera.

  • Problems with Canon EOS Utility & Canon 5D Mark II

    Canon EOS utility cannot see my 5D Mark II connected via USB.
    I've installed the latest 5D firmware (1.2.4), latest EOS Utility (2.7.2) and i'm running Snow Leopard 1.6.2.
    When I open EOS utility it cannot recognize the camera, neither with Snow leopard default photo import application.
    How can i solve it? Already tested the usb cable and all the option under camera menus...

    Yes, just started using this and noticed pretty soon afterwards. Seems to happen when I start clicking around or doing anything that uses the processor more than just surfing the web, but that's just anecdotal. I immediately stopped and started using MPEG Streamclip, but I really want the timecode.
    Most recently, I had Log and Transfer open, transcoding some 7D footage, and a few of the clips didn't come in—they were left with the red stop-sign symbol/exclamation point. When I clicked to "retry," it stopped importing the current clip and started on the clip I retried. I clicked "retry" on another unimported clip, and again, the clip import stopped and the new clip began processing. I let it go through and, after the checking the footage, I discovered it had been incorrectly named the first clip's filename! Needless to say, I hand-checked every file to make sure it was the right duration (a few weren't), deleted the files from the Capture Scratch folder, and reimported—making sure I didn't touch the computer.
    I hope they fix this bug, whatever it is.
    BTW, I've experienced it on two separate Mac Pros.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

  • 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.

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

  • I can't open RAW (cr2) images from my Canon EOS 650D

    Hey,
    I use Photoshop CS5 Extended (Version 12.1 x64). I can open the raw-Images (cr2) from my Canon EOS 1000d/Rebel XT but I can not open the RAW-Images (cr2) from my Canon EOS 650D (Rebel T4i). I have installed the latest update for CS5 through the updaate command.
    How can I open them?
    Thank you!

    Hi there,
    Support for RAW from Rebel T4i was launched in ACR 7.2 (Adobe Camera Raw). However, ACR 7.x is compatible only from CS6, not on CS5.
    Sorry, but you can work with the installation disc you've got from Canon to convert the files into TIFF/ JPG or get the 7.2 DNG converter from here:
    Win - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5486
    Mac - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5485
    Why don't you consider upgrading to CS6? There are some great upgrade prices in store right now.

    I have CS5 and Elements 9.  Neither one will open my raw photographs from either my Canon EOS 6D or Canon G12 cameras.
    Do you understand my problem?

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Both photoshop cs5 and pse 9 should be able to open the canon G12 files, but you probably need to update camera raw
    For cs5 go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs5 to get camera raw 6.7
    For pse 9 you have to download and run the installer for camera raw 6.5

    mac:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5263
    For the canon EOS 6D you'll need the 8.4 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies which cs5 and pse 9 should open, since neither cs5 or pse 9 can be updated to the newer camera raw plugin required for the 6D files.

    If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x 10.6, then you'll have to use the 8.3 dng converter instead of 8.4

    Hello!
    I think that you need to be patient.
    There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
    I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
    Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
    Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera
