Slight bands using Aperture and Canon 30D

Hi guys,
I have some problems using Aperture, developing/converting RAW files from my Canon 30D.
Unfortunatly I have bands in my pictures. Means that there are slight differences in the brightness of the files, which will give horizontal bands.
We already tested these files in other RAW converters like Capture One, RAW developer and Adobe RAW Converter.
Only the Adobe RAW Converter doen't show these bands in the RAW file, so we think that these are probably are errors coming from the camera chip, which Adobe already knows and fixed by their converter files.
I only see these bands on my concert pictures using ISO400 to 800. This will probably explain the errors coming from the chip.
So my question is, does anyone of you saw the same things in your pictures?
I have and developed image where you can see the problem. I also can send you the original RAW file to check for the problem.

  • Using Aperture and iPhoto

    I have been using Aperture, and love it. I just got the new iLife 08 and like some features in iPhoto that I cannot use in Aperture, such as the new web gallery and the new iPhoto books. Is there a way I can easily use both without managing 2 databases?

    I have just done the same thing, and don't those Web Galleries look great?!
    You do have to manage two databases (Aperture and iPhoto) but you do not have to make additional copies of your photos (as I am sure you are keen to preserve HD space on your MBP).
    In iPhoto preferences you can elect to not add your imported pictures to the iPhoto library.
    So one way to do it is import your Aperture Previews via the File menu in iPhoto. This way iPhoto has access to the Photos but you haven;t made yet another copy. This does necessitate having a whole heap of previews that you may or may not publish on your web gallery, but you can also access them smoothly and easily from within iLife and iWork.
    Another and even better way for preserving disk space would be to not have Previews on in the first place in Aperture (thereby saving room).
    Make an individual album or a smart folder in aperture and then export those particular images as JPEGs at whatever quality you choose.
    These images would almost certainly need to be incorporated into the iPhoto library. But at least you have only doubled up on a few select pics and not your whole aperture library.

  • Aperture and Canon 5D with wireless adapter

    I have a 15" macbook pro, and I want to get a 20" iMac to do this, if I can, but when I shoot in the studio, I use my wireless adapter on my Canon 5D to transmit my photos to a Mac. Is there a way that I can use aperture to monitor a directory, and display the new photos durring a shoot, so I can review them right away. I can use the canon software when im teathered, but defeats the wireless adapter, and I really love aperture.
    Thanks!

    Go here:
    http://www.automator.us/aperture/
    and get the Aperture Hot Folder script.
    That should do it.

  • Aperture and Canon 7D

    I am thinking about upgrading to a canon 7d. I read how there was a problem with Aperture reading RAW files, especially with red. I currently use Aperture 2 and dont want to buy the 7D if I am going to problem with Aperture.
    Has the problem been fixed? Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    This is probably going to sound really weird, and shows Aperture still has some issues it needs to figure out, but....
    On one of your high ISO indoor 'red' shots, add a vignette, but set both sliders to 0, effectively removing the vignette that is being added.
    Yes. I'm serious. This completely changes the red casts, and kills the nasty posterization I see on my system.

  • Aperture and Canon 20D

    I am using Aperture with my Canon 20D and I notice that really bright areas in the RAW file have halos in Aperture. And, the quality of the conversions do not seem that great. I am especially put off by the poor sharpening abilty in Aperture. Can anyone help me? I make money with my pictures, but no one is going to want to buy these poor things.

    HI,
    I'm not sure what to suggest for you on this. I'm a professional photographer, using a Canon 1Ds MkII and a Canon 20D. I have no problems with either camera and Aperture RAW conversion.
    Here are a few things you could try, however:
    1. Check your histogram to be sure that your image is not "blown-out." If so, dial the exposure down;
    2. Check your sharpening and chroma blur settings to ensure that they are not to strong. You should examine your photos at 100% magnification to check this;
    3. Check to see whether you have onscreen proofing turned on; and, if so, check to see what profile you are using. You may need to turn it off or to use a better/different profile;
    4. Lastly, be sure to have all the latest updates installed on your machine, i.e. Tiger 10.4.7; Aperture 1.1.2, etc.
    Not that this is much comfort, but, I can assure you that Aperture works perfectly well with a Canon 20D and its RAW files. This seems to be an isolated event, which is most likely fixable.

  • "Canon SLR EOS 40D"  *Aperture and Canon's CR2 RAW files not supported.*

    Hi,
    I just started playing with Aperture, and with my brand new *Canon SLR EOS 40D* camera. One problem, Aperture is not recognizing the RAW file format. I am using RAW Fine**-L. Even with that it doesn't even see the JPG shots in Aperture. Went to the Canon site and it shows CR2 format. IPhoto 08 sees the JPG files just fine, It also sees the RAW files just doesn't know what to do with them. I know that RAW files are not supported on IPhoto 08. The camera is only been out a few months, but still lost on why Aperture doesn't support the format. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance....

    For some reason or another Adobe Photo Shop 7 is no longer supported in Leopard. When you lunch Photo shop 7 in Leopard. You get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a Program error. Photo Shop will now exit." even if you reinstall the program, still you get the same error. Photo Shop 7 is Not the latest and greatest, but in most cases, that is all you need. Not sure if they plan on a fix, so for now I put that program on a shelve.
    Hope that helps

  • Tiger and Canon 30D support

    Hi,
    I am wondering when the new Canon 30D (RAW) will be supportet within the new OS ?
    We know that Apple do periodically updates and implement new cameras into the OS - but I need to know if there already plans or timeframes ?
    Thanks and cheers
    MacBookPro 2.0/1GB/100GB   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I have the Canon Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D) which uses the .CR2 file format as well. Preview opens photos taken in .CR2 from the Rebel XT just fine. I know that the Canon EOS 30D uses .CR2 as well so I suppose it would just be a matter of Apple adding the EOS 30D profile. Maybe it can already open pictures taken by the EOS 30D... Keep in mind that this camera was announced just a month ago.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible for one user to use Aperture and another iPhoto?

    I have a new imac 21.5", 3.33ghz, 4gb and I was wondering if it is possible for me as admin user to handle camera downloads automatically with Aperture, and my wife as second user to use iPhoto as automatic camera destination? Any comments would be appreciated.

    If you want to use the same account there are a number of possibilities:
    1. Set both Aperture and iPhoto to Do Nothing when a camera is connected. Then each one can launch their preferred app themselves. It's just one extra click.
    2. Use [Cameras|http://www.flexibits.com> to configure what happens when different cameras are connected.

  • Using Aperture and IPhoto together for RAW

    Hi All,
    I have just received my MBP and will be using Aperture to edit my RAW files from a Nikon camera.
    I was wondering if Aperture works the same as IPhoto in regards to the library function or do you still use IPhoto to arrange, tag your images etc...
    If that is the case how do you do that if you are using RAW files? Does IPhoto recognise RAW images?
    I would like to hear your workflow on a MAC.
    Cheers.

    Sad to say Richard but you are close but not quite correct. Aperture has a much reduced set of RAW support vs. iPhoto. Of this I can personally attest, but they're both covered on the Apple site.
    To add to some other points you address...
    iPhoto is still needed for simple integration with other iLife apps., as Aperture has no iLife integration. There is an Aperture2iLife script available (Lightbox software) which automates an export and import process. If you carry an iPod around with photos, then you'll need to maintain iPhoto for that purpose. Welcome to the land of duplicates!
    iPhoto does indeed process the RAW and all image work is performed on a JPEG version therafter. The RAW is never used, but is stored in the Originals folder (along with any original JPG or TIF files from the camera if these were shot vs. RAW).
    Aperture's RAW converter is markedly superior to iPhoto, and the control and editing options likewise. As noted, Aperture does not change the original RAW (or other imported file), but saves the edit instructions (akin to adjustment layers in Photoshop) for rebuilding the image viewed from the original. Enhanced book and Web Gallery options exist vs. iPhoto ... so integration to iWeb isn't quite as important, though would be very useful.

  • Using Aperture and Capture NX 2

    I'm using Aperture 3 and have just downloaded the trial version of Capture NX 2. Upon opening CNX2 and opening pictures in the browser, the Aperture library is grayed out. My question really is what should I expect to see upon opening CNX2?

    That's exactly what you would expect to see when you try open the Aperture Library with Capture EX 2.
    (BTW you know this is the iPhoto 08 forum, right?)
    Aperture is a database. If you want to process Raws with NX then you'll need to either process them before importing to Aperture or use an app like Catapult ( http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31765/catapult/) to use it in association with Aperture.

  • I'm hiring a Macbook Pro, using Aperture and want to know how to export too another Mac?

    Hi.
    I'm hiring a macbook pro for the day, and will be using Aperture. I am going to be shooting  four to five projects in RAW format and would like to know the following sequences of how to save all the images and re install the images onto my own personal mac at the end of the day? So the hired laptop has none of my images on and the images processed and edited to go back on my imac at home!
    How do i save the images? Whats the best using a mobile hard drive?
    Do I open a new vault and save, then drag the vault over to the mobile Hard drive?
    Or is there a simpler way? As i'm very new to all this backing up etc!
    Answers always appreicaited!

    Hi Jettone.  As I see, you have three things (at least) to address.
    How to bring your days work into your existing Aperture Library is the easiest of them.  Import your "day" Library into your current Library using "File→Import→Library/Project" and then select "Add" from the dialog box.  Full instructions -- and information you'll want to know for your project -- are on this page of the User Manual:
    Working with Library Files
    The second-easiest thing you face is how to connect the two machines to make the transfer.  There are many good ways to do this (wired, wireless, ad hoc, etc.).
    The only difficulty you face (other than making good captures ), is deciding how much data-security you need, and how to implement it.  If you have a spare external FW drive around, I'd take it and periodically copy the new Aperture Library (your "day" Library) to it.  Then make one final copy, and use it to transfer the day's work to your current Library before you turn in the rented laptop.
    If you don't have a spare FW drive hanging around -- buy one.  Get a quad-interface with FW800 and/or eSATA.  Think of it as a thumb drive for photographers.
    (Forget about Vaults.  They serve no purpose for you in this regard.)

  • Aperture and Canon 40D RAW

    When will Aperture support RAW from my Canon 40D?
    In the meantime how should I handle my RAW images? Can I import them into Aperture now with metadata attached and when the support is there all my photos and metadata will appear?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The first question has been asked many times in the last 4 weeks and there's no answer. Ask more and Apple will lock this thread.
    Second question. If you shoot RAW only, Aperture will import the file, and you won't be able to see it or work with it. You can export it to use Canon's DPP, Photoshop or other available converter to process it, save it to TIFF or JPEG, and then reimport to Aperture for now.
    If you shoot RAW and JPEG, Aperture will import both files, but it's not apparent where the JPG file is. Control-click or right-click the grey square thumbnail or the reddish main window, and click "New Version from Master JPEG" to reveal the full-resolution JPEG image the camera took.
    When OSX starts supporting 40D in the future, those RAW files will automatically be shown inside Aperture.

  • Aperture and Canon 5dMark11 Raw

    I used my new 5d recently and used the combo sRAW1 and JPEG to be imported to Aperture (latest version). It seems Aperture only works with full RAW and not the other RAWs on the Canon. I called Canon but they only suggested importing using their supplied software DPP. It works but I'd like to know about Aperture.
    Any thoughts on this being so or am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    John

    Most if not all third-party raw convertor programs will only work with the full raw file from a dslr. They won't work on the sub-variations like sRAW. For that, as Canon said, you have to go to their software. IOW, if you stray from the full raw format you have to go to you the camera manufacturer's software.

  • Using Aperture and iWeb

    Aperture has a de-luxe facility for making album pages and posting them in Mobile-me, using web journals, which include text and photos. However, you can not include links in them. So I have made an index page in iWeb which references my web journals.
    It works, but it seems like a dumb system, and integration ought to be possible. The web journals do not appear in iDisk, but the index page does.
    Aperture can export its web journals, but I can not find a way to get them into iWeb.
    Has anyone worked through this one?
    For ref my index page is at http://web.me.com/robneave99/RobsPhotography/MainPage.html

    Where on your iDisk is the index file that Aperture created? Is it in the iDisk/Web/Sites folder? If so try the following link in your browser: http://web.me.com/YourMME_AccountName/index.html and see what you get.
