Raw pictures with canon sx50hs

In the past when I took pictures in raw & uploaded them o the computer I couldn't see the picture unless I opened them in the software for my camera. Today when I pu them on my computer I could see them in the gallery. I don't know what has changed. I have gotten use to the way it was & it made it easy to tell what pictures I shot in raw. Any ideas on what might have happened.

Based on what you wrote and that you consider that you've fixed your issue, I'd offer a suggestion that you can take or leave. Download a freeware program called Fastone Image Viewer, which will allow you to quickly and easily view all your images once you download them to your computer. CR2/RAW files are included in the types this program can view, including features such as thumbnail viewing, side-by-side image comparison, slideshow review, etc. That way you won't have to be dependent on the software that came preinstalled on your computer. FWIW.

I cannot open my RAW pictures from Canon 60D in CS2

I cannot open the RAW picture in CS2. I realize its a really old version of CS, but I don't want to upgrade if I don't have to. What can I do to open my RAW pictures? I am taking the pictures with a Canon 60D? Please help!! Thanks!!

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 60D requires Camera Raw 6.2 or later which is only compatible with CS5 or later.
Raw support is never added retrospectively to older versions so you'll never be able to open 60D Raw files with CS2.
If upgrading is not an option then your best option is to download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 60D Raw files to DNG format then try editing the DNGs in CS2.

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.

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:

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):

Dark pictures with canon 5d mark 3 and 600ex flash, night indoors in Auto Mode and flash on.

I have purchased a new canon 5d mark 3 and speedlight 600ex-rt flash. While testing it indoor at night , the room lights are on and I was using the Auto Mode with Flash on. The pictures are Dark with the Flash on and when the flash is turned off the pictures are brighter. I am confused. How to get the AUto mode working with the Flash on.

Automatic mode, it it's attempt to be reasonably foolproof, is going to lock you out of having any control over the exposure.
The E-TTL metering system on your camera & flash are attempting to find the correct exposure for your subject.
Due to laws of physics (the inverse-square law), light has "fall off". It's not actually possible to use a single light source and expose a large room with that single light. Either the subject is nicely lit but everything else will probably be too dark. OR... the background is nicely lit but the subject is heavily over-exposed. (BTW, there are two ways to get around this.)
The amount of fall-off is based on the relative distance from the light. Every time the distance increases by a factor of 1.4 the amount of light is cut in half. This means if you have subject 10' away, but you have a foreground object only 7' away and a background object 14' away, and the flash is exposed for the subject at 10', then the foreground object will be over-exposed (with twice as much light as needed) and the background will be under-exposed (with half as much libght as needed.) Incidentally... if you "double" or "halve" the distance then the light difference will be 4x or 1/4 (depending on if you are getting closer or farther.)
Here's a video which both explains and then later demonstrates the concept in a way that makes it very obvious to see and easy to understand. If it seems confusing at first... stick with it. The video is only 12 minutes long.
In fully automatic mode the camera wont let you control anything (except how far away you stand from your subject).
If you switch to "Program" mode, it essentially works like automatic mode EXCEPT it will actually allow you to override settings or set compensations.
When you use a flash in a room with some ambient lighting (but otherwise dimly lit) there's a technique called 'dragging the shutter' (which the camera can actually do for you somewhat automatically).
To do that, set the camera to Tv mode (Tv = Time value... which is shutter priority mode). Dial in a slow-ish shutter speed... say around 1/60th of a second. Use a moderately boosted ISO (400 would probably work well... you might even go up higher).
The camera is going to evaluate the exposure needed for the room as though you don't have a flash... and it'll set the camera settings accordingly. However... since it knows you have a flash, it'll still perform the E-TTL II exposure metering and will use the flash anyway. What you end up with is a shot that has a nicely exposed primary subject (because the camera used flash) AND... a nicely exposed background which was primarily illuminated with ambient light -- but looks pretty good because the camera used an exposure that was adequate for the ambient light.
The reason I suggest using Tv mode and NOT Av mode is because you can control the mixture of flash vs. ambient light by controlling the TIME that the shutter is open. But this does NOT work if you control either the aperture or ISO.
Here's why: The flash is "momentary" but the ambient is constant. If you were to adjust the aperture settings, that will increase or decrease ALL the light sources that contribute to the exposure... so it increases (or decreases) the amount of flash AND the amount of ambient light ... and it does them in the same proportions. If you want to bright up the background lighting WITHOUT over-exposing your foreground subject, then you don't want to increase both... you only want to increase the amount of ambient light.
Since the flash is a momentary burst of light, if you leave shutter open longer you wont actually collect any more light from the flash (because the flash was providing illumination for only a tiny fraction of a second. Extending the amount of time that the shutter remains open means the camera will _only_ collect more of the ambient light... and that helps bring up the dark backgrounds.
One way to get around the flash fall-off problem is to greatly increase the distance between flash and subject. You still get "fall off" but now the distance you have to change to notice the fall off really increases. But this method usually isn't very practical because you'll be standing much farther then you'd prefer to be to get the shot.
The second way (and much more practical) is to "drag the shutter" (deliberately use longer shutter times so that the camera can collect more ambient light long after the flash is done.).

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.

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.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_RAW_Compatibility_Update_21
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.

I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?

You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade.

Can PSE 12 open and process Camera Raw pictures taken with Canon GIX Mk. 2 camera?

I have bought a new Canon GI X Mk. 2 camera. I consider to update my Photoshop Elements 9 to new the newest 12 version, but I will only do that if the PSE 12 can manage Camera Raw pictures taken with my new camera. Can anyone help?

Yes, but you will have to install the Camera Raw 8.5 or later update. Go to Help > Updates to start the update process. You can verify what version of Camera Raw you have installed by going to Help (Win) or Photoshop Elements (Mac) > About Plug-in > Camera Raw.
