Red/Pinkish dots or smudges in images/video Canon EOS 60D (Not a Dead/Hot pixel!)

After using my 60D for almost 9 Months i'v noticed that there is Red/Pinkish dots or smudges in the upper right corner of all pictures and videos, at first i thought it was a hot or dead pixel i'v tried to do a manual sensor cleaning but i had no luck, i would really appreciate anybody's assistance, below is an image that show the blobs. PLEASE HELP!!!

Jim, thank you for an excellent responce. I truthfully had researched the "Help" section on LightRoom and PhotoShop and found nothing that even remotely resembled your straight forward and easy to follow directions. After upgrading to CS6 and LightRoom 4 I am delighted with all of the new features that Adobe created in PhotoShop. I'm not sure that LightRoom 4 was as great an advancement as PhotoShop itself.
I am certainly going to give your solution a try and see how it works out for me. I concur that I probably do not fully understand and appreciate the relationship between the two programs. Today was my attempt of gaining a better insight to that relationship. Thank you for your response!

Import raw images from canon eos 1000d to aperture 3

Raw images from Canon EOS 1000D appear garbled tried using all (?) import methods without success. Camera on firmware version 1.0.7
HELP!
Geoff

Running Aperture Trial 3.1.2 all updates completed.
May have solved one problem & got another!
I can now import RAW images by selecting 'Raw' rather than 'Raw + L' on camera menu.This leaves me with all large files - potential future storage problem. Looking into this.
Thanks for reply though

Importing RAW images from Canon EOS 550D

I've used iPhoto 8 (version 7.1.5) with a Canon Powershot. Everything working fine.
I just bought a Canon EOS 550D. Importing JPEG files is OK; But iPhoto refuses to import the RAW images from the 550D.
How can I solve this problem ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera is new and not supported as yet by either Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475?viewlocale=en_US
or Snow Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
Evidently the camera is so new that even the Adobe Camera RAW converter doesn't support it yet - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
You'll have to use another application that does recognize that format or shoot the highest quailty JPEG the camera provides until support is offered.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

1.1: stacking RAW images from Canon EOS 350D at import

I'm noticing a strange problem with Aperture 1.1 and my Canon EOS 350D. If I shoot only RAW images and try to import, Aperture thinks that the timestamp of every image is the time at which the camera was connected. Obviously, this breaks the possibility of stacking before import. If I shoot JPEG, there's no problem, and using the Auto-Stack HUD after importing RAW images works correctly too.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Fraser

I wasn't using Aperture before 1.1, but I reinstalled from my DVD on a supported machine and the bug does occur.
Strangely, if you open Image Capture before opening Aperture, everything works as advertised. It's only if you have Aperture set as the automatic application to open when a camera's connected.
For any Apple people that might be reading, I've reported this as Radar bug #4515776

Trouble importing images from Canon EOS to iPhoto

When I returned from my daughter's wedding with about 400 irreplacable photos I discovered that I could not import photos from my Canon EOS to iPhoto on my iMac. When I initially connect my camera to the computer the images display perfectly. However, when I click "import all" the downloaded images all appear completely blank (gray). I don't have any difficulty importing images from my iPhone.

I have had a similar experience with a few greyed out images I did not bother too much because it was not important at the time. I was wondering if you could save them into another format or file and then try importing them from there.

Downloading images from Canon EOS 7D camera results in corrupted images.

Hi,
I'm struggling to download images from my Canon EOS 7D camera. The images appear corrupted on my hard drive. This does not happen consistently. Some images get corrupted, but could appear properly when trying a second time. The errors occur in EOS Utility or in iPhoto: same (bad) result. I tried to repeat downloading on a Windows machine (separate) and in a Ubuntu environment (Virtual Machine on my mac). In both cases, I had no problem. Canon states that the problem resides in my iMac. The dealer of my camera mentioned that if they see those problems, it usually relates to bad connections or a poor USB cable. I also tried several USB ports and cables, but could not resolve the problem that way. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've had this issue a few times and found it falls in to a few buckets, just a few things to consider if the images show up fine in the camera but not when you copy them out.
1) The format (version of RAW in my case I was using with Aperture
2) The reader
3) The drive
4) The connection
Format: when I first got the 7d I wanted to use the RAW.2 version. The .CR2 file format (Canon RAW version 2) is a digital photography RAW format created by Canon. "RAW" here means that this file stores information directly coming from the sensor, almost without processing. This file would show up corrupt every time i tried to open in in Aperture, or IPhoto on my Power-Mac
G5. I could only open it up in the supplied Canon software After some poking around I found out that I had to upgrade to Aperture3 to get the new supported RAW formats. Since I can't buy a new mack I changed the version of RAW I used.
Once I changed from using that RAW format it was fine. There are times Aperture will say that the file is corrupt but
when I restart the application it is fine I think there are some memory issues when it does this and I have to reboot the application over time.
The READER:I used to use a USB reader which was fine for the 10D but with the 7D and the 5D the files are much larger in RAW from 10 megs on the 10D to 25 megs or more on the 7D/5DMk2. After shooting 500 - 1000 shots in a night I'd have to download overnight in order to get everything. Some times the file would be corrupted coming over. If I pulled the file off later one by one or in smaller groups it would be fine. I have since upgraded to a Firwire 800 cards reader. Hours becomes 10 minutes for a 16Gig fill loaded card. not 8-10 hours.
The Drive: I've seen every files copy except 1, if I am able to hook up another drive and it works I run DiskWarrior, TechTool or SoftRAID. Usually thy confirm a bad sector in the drive. I'll back up the drive with time machine or a disk dupe software and then format the drive it it's part of a RAID I replace the drive entirely from the chain.
The connection: bad cables have also been a culprit but not often with firewire.

Soft Focus Images From Canon EOS 1D Mark IIn

I am viewing soft focus issues with my RAW CR2 files coming from the above camera body. I accidentally opened a file in Canon's Digital Photo Professional and it was razor sharp compared to Aperture. A few historical facts. I have had the camera body calibrated to my multiple L lenses several times. I am using the latest firmware for the camera at 1.1.2 and the latest version of the OS at 10.4.10, Aperture 1.5.4, and DPP at 3.0.2. I have used another identical body model with one of my lenses with the same results. I have viewed this issue on several Macs and displays. I have done controlled sample shots using a Digital Imaging Box where the camera is mounted firmly to it with a two second timer to avoid camera shake and controlled lighting with the same results. This all leads me to how Aperture is handling the CR2 file. Now I am talking about viewing only at 100% magnification. There is NO adjustments done at this point which should rule out the RAW processor engine. Like you all I have moved my entire VERY LARGE library and complete workflow to Aperture and now have serious doubts if I can use this awesome application. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried Apple directly, other forums, other photographers, etc. with no real answer. Since this is my first post, I can not figure out how to attach screen captures so you can clearly see the difference. I can send them via PM if required. All of your help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
David

What do you mean sharp "out of the camera?"
This is a RAW file? Note JPEG files will almost always be sharper out of the camera than will RAW files. JPEG files have post-processing (color space applied, sharpening applied) out of camera when RAW files do NOT.
It is very likely you have different settings enabled in DPP and Aperture. With Aperture you can do sharpening in the RAW conversion step, or via edge sharpening... and doing a comparison on "sharpness" before you have applied this really makes no sense.
NO RAW files are sharp out of camera (well, unless they're from a MF digital back) because all DSLRs have an anti-aliasing filter in them which purposely blurs images. This is done to eliminate artifacting and to increase the effective resolution of the camera (because note that a 12 MP digital camera actually only has 6 million green, 3 million blue, and 3 million red sensors). It does not have 12 million RGB capable sensors, which requires some math, etc., in camera.

Monochrome (RAW) images (from Canon EOS 5D) after importing back to color mode

After importing monochrome (black and white) images their thumbnails appear as such but after a couple of seconds they are reverted to color mode. Import XMP Metadata from file does not change anything. Do I overlook or miss something here?

THe initial BW preview is the one from the camera, then LR builds its own ignoring everything but WB and setting its standrard default. You can create a Develop preset for BW than looks similar to your cameras initial output preview and apply it to all importing images when you shoot 'BW' digital.

Reviewing still images on Canon EOS Rebel T3

I need to know how to view the images while I am taking them, the image comes up just after shooting it
but if flashes off the screen too quickly and I like to see images before and after as well.
Should be a no brainer, but for some reason I have not been able to figure it out and have no book with me...
thanks,
Kate

If the image goes away too soon, you can press the blue "playback" button (this is a blue triangle icon pointing to the right) which is located on the back of your camera in the lower right corner.
You can also change the "Image review" time. See page 154 of the "full" instruction manual (not the "Basic Instruction Manual" which is an abbreviated set of instructions.) You can find the full manual at Canon's site here: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0300004730/02/eosrt3-eos1100d-im2-c-en.pdf

Aperture 3.4.3 cannot read/process RAW images from Canon EOS M.

According to the information provided by Apple, Aperture 3.4.3 is capable of reading/processing RAW files from the Canon EOS M. I do not find that to be the case. I can see them in the preview when they download but as soon as I click on them I am met with the message that the files are in a format that Aperture does not recognize. ***** because I usually ONLY shoot RAW. Am I alone here?
Thoughts?

It sould work in Lion also according to this page from Apple. Are you sure you have the latest version of Aperture?
I would double check just to make sure you have the latest OS and Aperture.
What happens if you open the RAW file in Preview?
If you go to /System/Library/CoreServices you'll see the RawCamera.bundle file. Select it, right click on it and choose Get Info from the menu. The Info window will look like
You should have version 4.01

Lightroom 5 Darkens Photos after Importing Images Used with Different Camera [NOT SHOOTING IN RAW NOR B

I seriously need help, my whole entire catalog of photos just got darkened for some reason after importing photos used with a different camera. What happened is that I imported photos taken with a different camera (Canon EOS 60D) and when I did that, it darkened all the rest of my photos (taken with Canon EOS Rebel T3). Why did this happen? This is making my photos insanely hard to edit.

If you always want Camera Neutral picture style to be applied, then open one of your images that you have imported and have changed nothing else in Lightroom. Set the camera profile to Camera Neutral and save new camera default settings. Then whenever you import that setting will be applied to all of your images.
If you don't always want that style, you could save a preset that applies the Camera Neutral picture style, and then you could choose to use that preset during the import process.
It is simply a matter of determining your workflow and then setting things the way you want them to work.

Can't download/watch images, videos, files, websites...

Hello,
My problem started 2 days ago when i switched internet (from my parents house to my room close to school).
Immediately these problems occurred:
* Very slow internet (with moments)
* I have to reload websites 3-10 or more times until i can view the full page
* Downloading always stops at 99%
* Images show half at the top, the bottom half is in another color, or moved to the side, blurry ...
* Videos at youtube and other sides only show the black load screen, nothing more.
* When i game, spectate mode always freeze, (when i play not)
These are some possible problems i found, but i couldn't fix them with searching and trying on helpdesks:
* SSL error -> ssl_error_bad_mac_read (on every webbrower (opera, chrome, firefox, IE)
* Java is blocked because firefox says it is unstable or can damage my pc
* I noticed this in my virus scanner (i use F-secure client security) : 24/03/2014 GEN:Variant.Kazy.257837 and on 16/03/2014 Trojan.GenericKD.1595555 , both removed by the virus scanner.
I have tried many ways so solve the problem like:
* Delete Cache, history, add-ons ...
* Reset the modem
* Full computer scan (twice) and no virus, spyware or malware found
* Cleaned the pc with ccleaner
* I have read most of the support mozilla pages to find a solution like checking my ssl- or proxysettings...
* I have changed many things in options and programs (but changed them back when i saw it didn't work)
I also took yesterday my pc to school to check if it would be better with another internet connection, the websites were loading faster (not like before but still better), but the image/video/download problem stayed (school internet = wireless, here with cable)
I searched for info about a virus or trojan horse, but the only problem that was in common was a slow performance, not weird pop-ups or redirected to another site ...
Everything without internet works excellent, so for those programs my pc is still very fast
I hope someone can help me with this, if i forgot something important, i will add it.

Blury Photos for my still image video

I am a newer person to editing and I have Adobe Elements Premiere 10 and I wanted to do my first really nice project and when I edited and looked at the video every single picture was blurry, and when I paused the video the picture would go back to normal. I think that the image is too big and I might have to change the pixel size or resolution of it. Please if you have an answer please break down how to fix my problem, because I am only a teenager trying to figure out this editing system! Thanks, Caitlyn

Welcome to the forum.
There are several considerations, when doing a SlideShow in PrE.
The first is, do you have any Video footage?
If not, then the next quesion is, how do I plan to deliver the final results, such as DVD-Video, BD, or something else?
Armed with those two answers, the next one is, how can I Scale my Still Images in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, to match my chosen Project's Frame Size, and this ARTICLE addresses that, plus offers tips for doing that Scaling in Batch with Actions.
Last, when a Still Image is Imported into PrE, and is placed onto the Timeline, PrE needs to "create" Video from those Still Images. There will be a red line above the Still Images, and for best, and smoothest playback, one needs to Render the Timeline, by hitting the Enter/Return key.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Is it possible to take images, videos, send messages or make a call in iphone,through voice command. when it is off mode?

Hi Everyone
In one of my coming project, we need to implement taking images, videos, sending SMS and make a call through voice commands in iphone, especially when Iphone is Off mode.I'm new to IOS development. I don't have clear about this concept,If any have any resource related to this topic. Please share there ideas or thoughts.
Thank you

What do you mean by "Off mode"? Do you mean the phone is turned "off"? If so, you can't do anything with any iPhone, other than look at it, if it's turned off. Off on an iPhone is off...nothing works.
