Why do DNGs from my 5D Mark III look too saturated in Lightroom 4?

I'm converting the CR2 files using the ACR 6.7 beta.  The files look fine in the Canon software (DPP).  My 10D images always looked fine... I tried using my Colorchecker Passport to generate camera/lens profiles, but that didn't help.
Thanks
Don

The most common cause for distress about LR's colors is the monitor's color profile.  If you have not calibrated your monitor, give that a try.  It's really worthwhile.
Also - are you importing the CR2 files into LR4?  If you're using ACR 6.7beta, I presume you're editing your images in Photoshop after editing them in LR4.  Do they look oversaturated in LR4, or just in Photoshop?

  • Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

    Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii?  Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

    What Mark III?
    Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
    And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
    There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

  • Trouble with Adobe dng converter and 5d mark iii

    I have recently downloaded the dng converter 6.7 to convert my cr2 files from my 5d mark iii, however it keeps on telling me i have no files to convert, is there anything i can do about this? i am using elements 10

    Test with the new 7.1 DNG converter:
    Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388
    See if that changes anything. If not, we'll want to take a look at one of your files to test.

  • HT3825 How to view RAW from Canon 5D mark III for OS 10.6

    To 'Preview' RAW files from Canon 5D mark III, it is known that you need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 , but it can only be used with iphoto 9, which in turn only work in OS 10.7, so there is no way for 10.6 users to 'Preview' the RAW files? Please help if you no any other ways, thank you!

    Which Adobe program?
    Which version?

  • Why aren't my .CR2 RAW files opening in Elements 9.0 from my Canon Mark III 5D?

    I am super confused as to why my old Canon Rebel CR2 (RAW) files have always opened in Elements 9.0, but now my new camera (Canon Mark III 5D)'s RAW files are not opening? Thanks!

    You have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

    Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
    I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

    So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

  • 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

  • Lightroom 4.2 will not import from Canon 5D Mark III

    When trying to import photos from my Canon 5D Mark III into Lightroom 4.2, the import usually freezes up at some arbitrary point.  It will either crash lightroom altogether, or it will have a message saying "could not import all files, files could not be read."  (something along those lines.)
    I am using a 1 year old iMac with a 1 TB HD.  I import directly onto that hard drive.  Lightroom has never had an issue importing.  My previous camera was a Canon EOS T1i.  The problems started when I purchased my 5D Mark III.  Images from my T1i, in fact, still import fine with no issues.  I am running OS X version 10.7.5.  My compact flash card is brand new, a Lexar 1000x.  This question/issue may have been answered elsewhere, and if so I apologize, for i could not locate it.  I have seen some suggesting it may be a hard drive issue, however, the evidence points to the 5D Mark III not playing well with LR 4.2.  (T1i images still import fine.)

    Here's a post concerning 5D MKIII file corruption, which may also be due to a camera malfucntion. Yes, there could be something wrong with your camera.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4882852#4882852
    SUGGESTION:
    Install the Canon EOS Utility that came with your camera. Also check for an updated version of the EOS Utility after the install. You need to install from the CD first before you can install any updates.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#Driver sAndSoftware
    If the EOS Utility can download the CR2 files to your hard drive, then your camera is not defective.

  • 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.

  • Images files not recognised from Canon 5D Mark III

    iPhoto will not recognise any files from my Canon 5D Mark III. I have tried everything - updated all software, purchased the newest version of iPhoto, formatted the memory card, used a different cable, tried a different memory card. Tha battery is also fine
    I really have no idea what is going on. I have just upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark II and I never had any problems before.
    Any ideas?

    Is the memory card recognized if connected to the Mac with a card reader, built-in or external? 
    Have you applied this updater: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12?

  • Premiere hangs randomly when loading media from Canon 5D Mark III

    Premiere 5.5.0 hangs when loading media. When I drag like 20 files from explorer to Premiere, it loads some files, but at a random point it stops loading and freezes. I loaded every file manually by using ctrl-I within Premiere and saving regularly. After loading a random number of files (anywhere between 1 and 7) it freezes. I managed to get all the files into the project. Now when I try to open the project, it freezes randomly while loading the media. I copied the project and when I open the new one, it opens normal and asks where the media is. When I locate it... same problem, anywhere during loading it might freeze. When I cancel it, I can manually link every media file back, with the random risk of freezing.
    I reinstalled Quicktime without any improvement.
    I reinstalled Premiere without improvement.
    In old projects sometimes random media-files are not linked. Sometimes I can link them succefully. Sometimes it freezes when I try to link them.
    As far as I can tell this only happens to .mov files and not other types of media-files.
    Sometimes when I have been working on a project succesfully, Premiere still freezes when I close it.
    UPDATE
    I found out that this only concerned movies from my Canon 5d Mark III. I searched if other people had the same problem and found this thread: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/923736
    The solution is to rename the extensions from .mov into .mpg.
    This solves the issue...

    Does somebody else has this problem?
    Yup: I heard about it just today, in fact.  An FCP user was trying to get Cinema Tools to conform 24fps footage from a Mk II and Mk III to 25.  No problems with the Mk II footage, but no luck with the Mk III footage.
    Now, it could be just coincidence.  But if you don't believe in coincidence, you might think that there's something screwy with Canon's new codecs for the Mk III.  "Screwy" is a highly technical term, by the way.

  • Images from Canon 5D Mark III not appearing super sharp in Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4

    I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display and am running CS6, shooting with a Mark III in full resolution raw format.  Focus is on in camera but when I open the images in Photoshop, they do not appear super sharp when zoomed in.  Is this a display issue or a program issue or something else?  In the past I can usually get the images so sharp that I can see every pore and hair. 

    I would try in other programs and see what they look like.  Since it is same camera and PS, they should be as sharp as before.  Maybe the screen, as it is the variable here?

  • Corrupted Images from Canon 5D Mark iii

    Hey guys... I'm new to forum with this being my first post. I have been shooting for a few years now and have never encountered this issue. I'm not finding any help either on the web as hot to resolve this issue either.
    When my Hoodman Steel 32GB CF card is in the card slot on the camera, the images look fine in preview mode. When I transfer them to my hard drive and look at the thumbnails on my Mac cpu the images look fine. It's when I try and open them with Camera Raw, Photoshop, Lightroom or any other photo editing software do they end up looking corrupted. Here are a couple of screenshots of how they are looking upon importing.
    Any help to recover these images would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and I look forward to sharing photography stories and shots in the future.

    Ryan,
    I imagine those are lost.  The CF card looks like it is corrupted.  I never heard of or have used that brand of CF card so I have no idea of its quality.
    I suggest you get Sandisk or Lexar.  Also format it before each important shoot each time.  I also prefer 16GB cards.
    It is possibile your computer did the damage so you might try a different computer.  Showing a photo on the camera's LCD monitor is no indicatition.
    Thanks for the comments... I was actually able to retrieve them. I had recently updated to Yosemite and low and behold, that apparently was the culprit. I downloaded the new EOS 3 Utility that is reported to work with Yosemite and transfered the images straight out of my camera to my hard drive. Once I opened those images in Camera Raw everything checked out just fine. I'm guessing my card reader isn't compatible with Yosemite. Thanks again for responding.
