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

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):

    Which operating system are you using?
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
    (version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
    If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
    Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

  • PS5 will not open camera raw pictures...all made with Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 5D Mark II

    What version of camera raw do you have?  You should have at least 6.7 for PS to open Canon 5D Mark III raw images.

  • CS5 Raw with Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 6D

    I have CS5.  I recently upgraded my 5D Mark II to a 5D Mark III.  I also have a 6D.  I can't open my images in RAW.  Am I forced to purchase CS6?

    Hi,
    You should be able to open the Canon 5D Mark III files into photoshop cs5 by updating to camera raw 6.7
    (Help>Updates from within photoshop cs5)
    For the Canon 6D,  the 8.1 DNG converter should work by converting your 6D camera raw files to dng
    copies which should then open in photoshop cs5.

  • Camera Raw update for Canon 5D Mark III

    Where is the camera raw update for the new Canon 5D Mark III?

    It doesn't appear that it is available yet.  You will want to utilize Canon's software for now.  I would recommend continuing to review http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html as it has a list of all supported and soon to be supported cameras with Camera RAW.

  • Having issues opening raw files from Canon 5D Mark iii in Photoshop CS5

    I cannot open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop CS5. I get an error saying "
    Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
    Documentation seems to be no help.
    Any ideas?

    You can download the updates manually and try to install them Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    If you can not get CS5 updated you may want to consider  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • EXIF and "Flash" field with Canon 1D mark III

    Hi,
    I have two Canon 1D mark III.
    I'm shooting RAW without a flash attached to both cameras.
    But if I look in Aperture in the EXIF data of the two cameras, then one camera is showing the value "16" in the "Flash" EXIF field the other is showing "0" as the value in the "Flash" EXIF field.
    What does this field mean, why are there different values for the same shooting conditions?
    Thanks
    JO

    But there was no flash on any of these two cameras, so how can this then be different?
    Most cameras will let you change some flash settings whether there is a flash attached or not.

  • Focus problems with Canon 1D Mark III

    I have been having problems with my 1D Mark III, it take an unusually long time to focus.  The problem is especially prevalent indoors.  I am using a Canon 24 to 70 IS lens. 

    I have had the camera since it first came out, however I also aready had a Canon 20D at the time.  I seemed to do better with the 20D.  I recently bought a Canon 7D and it focuses much faster.  I am very displeased with the 1D Mark III. 
    I am an experienced photographer, photography is a passion I have studied and pursued.  The 20D was my first DSLR, prior to that I shot with a Nikon 2020 film camera. 
    The problem with the 1D Mark III is that it takes an unusually long time to autofocus.  Due to this, I usually relied on the 20D.  When I bought the 7D I retired the 20D and paired the new camera with he 1D for gigs (weddings, parties etc.).  It is frustrating to attempt shots with the camera and have subjects wait for me to shoot.

  • RAW Processing problems with Canon 5D Mark iii

    I am having problems with the RAW files coming from my new 5D Mark iii in Aperture. I have the latest version of Aperture (and update) installed. Selecting a picture style on the 5D doesn't seem to yield any results because when I import the photo into aperture all the images go very dark. I have to pull the exposure levels up all the way to get a decent exposure. The histogram on my camera looks perfect but when imported into Aperutre the histogram changes. I have my custom picture style set to give me a very flat image (contrast off, sharpening off, saturation -2, color tone 0). The images looks very flat and perfect in my LCD but once imported into aperture the RAW processing makes it very dark. I even tried shooting the exact photo in three completely different picture styles but they all look identical once they are in aperture. What's going on??

    Here is a side by side comparison of a RAW image in the latest versions of Aperture and Lightroom. I have never had these issues with the 5D Mark II only the Mark III. As you can see Lightroom produces a nice flat image while Aperture is under-exposing the image. Any thoughts? I really want to continue to use Aperture but with my recent camera upgrade to the Mark III I don't see how this is possible. Anyones help would be much appreciated.

  • Problem with the RAW images from Canon 5d Mark III

    hope you are doing good. i need your opinion regarding a phenomena i am observing in the RAW images from Mark iii.
    The following images appear to be absolutely correct in the camera and when viewed through a picture viewer.
    I have tried and tested the following scenarios:
    1. Used a medium speed kingston CF Card (new) and transferred the images through the USB cable supplied with the camera.
    2. Thought the card might be slow OR faulty.. used Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro SD Cards but same result.
    3. Transferred SD Card data through the builit in laptop card reader.
    4. Have directly imported the images from SD Card into Lightroom 4.3, copied the data firstly to laptop HDD and then imported, copied the SD card data to an external HDD and then copied. .... same result!!
    5. Have tried the same with both Win7 and Mac OS.
    6. The DPP sw that came with the camera gives the error of 'Decoding Failed' with these images.
    Usually 10-15 images out of 100 give this kinda pattern. so i was hoping if you can guide me what is going wrong here !!!

    The camera and PictureViewer are likely showing you the embedded JPG, while DPP and LR are decoding the raw data which appears to be corrupted.  Assuming you have formatted your SD cards in the camera and the issues are always in the same positions in the same images when you transfer them multiple times from the card to different computers via different methods, then the data is on the card that way.
    If the embedded JPG is ok then the sensor is ok, so something between the sensor-readout and the storage on the card appears to be failing intermittently, and it’s time to talk to Canon, I think.

  • Log and Transfer with Canon 5d mark iii footage on OS 10.5

    FCP is not recognizing my SCDH card in the Log and Transfer window
    and I'm wondering why this is.
    I am running OS 10.5 - and there were no additional EOS drivers available
    on Canon's website for my OS.
    I am shooting with the new 5D mark iii. When I first got the Rebel T2i a few years
    back, I had the same problem and installing the Canon driver worked to
    get the card to show up in the Log and Transfer window.
    Does anyone have tips for how to get my Log and Transfer window to recognize
    a card from the 5D mark iii?
    Thanks.

    Hi, guys.
    In my experience, the best native format is ProRes MOV while the 5D Mark III recorded file is H.264 MOV. So I have been using a H.264 to ProRes MOV Converter to help me change the 5D Mark III H.264 MOV files before importing to FCP on my iMac. I found the way from Google. The below is the link.

  • Is elements 13 compatible with Canon 5d Mark iii raw files?

    Just upgraded my camera and the raw files cannot be read on my current version of elements.  Will Elements 13 be compatible - was thinking of upgrading to full photoshop but that now only seems to come in a monthly package!  I really need someone to talk through my best options but there doesn't seem to be any customer service.

    Photoshop elements 10 should be able to open those files if you update to camera raw 6.7
    Which operating system are you using?
    windows
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
    mac
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
    Also, photoshop elements 13 will open those files as well.
