Lightroom :: Importing RAW From Canon 6D Using 3 / Photoshop CS5?
Sep 6, 2013
I'm using light room 3 and Photoshop/bridge CS5. I just got a new camera – a Canon 6D and none of the programs will read the files. It is indicated I need a new plug-in to support the camera – camera raw plug-in/supported cameras indicates a 60 is supported. I found a support patch and downloaded: DNGConverter_7_3.exe.part and the application file:DNGConverter_7_3 (the application file size is indicated as 0 kB) Neither Program Will Run under Windows 7 and I still can't open any of the raw files from my Canon 6D camera.
Importing .cr2 files from a Canon 60d into Lightroom 4, or any other version of LR? I've been trying for quite a while, and while the video files show up for import, the raw files do not. 0 files listed. I'm simply trying to use the Import button in the Library, and selecting the 60d camera from the list while it is USB connected to my machine.
Details:
Lightroom version: 4.0 [814577] (Adobe Camera Raw 7 installed also) Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
Also have the entire Adobe Master Collection CS5 installed (and fully updated as of this AM). Memory card was formatted in the camera itself. Canon's DPP has no trouble importing the files via the EOS Utility, and I see the camera/SD card in Windows Explorer as a drive letter, so I know it's recognized.
I am having trouble importing RAW CR2 files from Canon 5D and 7D into Lightroom.
Some / half of the files will import from the memory card, but at some point in the import process I get an error message that reads "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read" . Then I am unable to import the remaining files at all.
I'm running Lightroom 5 on OSX 10.8.
I have been getting this problem for the past 6 weeks. Usually If I shut down Lightroom, restart computer and begin the imprt process again, this second import will work fine. I put it down as a bug that wasn't a big deal, because after 2 or 3 import attempts everything would be OK.
But now Lightroom won't import my final 130 images at all. So far I have
- deleted the Lightrom preference file (it didn't work) - tried different USB ports, cables and card readers (it didn't work) - checked my permissions on the destination folder and disk, and confirmed that they are "Read and Write"
I don't think the files are the problem as I have been able to import 400 of the 600 RAW files from the memory card so far.
I'm trying to import canon 1dx raw files to LR5 from a card reader. I get this error: "The following files were not imported because they could not be read."
However when I import d800 files, it imports perfectly fine.
This is on a Mac. When I import the same files on the same card to a PC LR5, it works fine. I also tried using a different CF card, same results.
update: i got the files to import if i connected a usb cord directly to the camera.. but it never works with the card reader.
working in Adobe Photoshop CS, on a Dell Inspiron laptop in Windows XP. I'm trying to use the RAW images that I've taken on the camera in Photoshop, so I downloaded the RAW 2.4 plugin from Adobe.com and followed the necessary steps to place it in the correct folder. The RAW plug-in appears in the plug-in about menu, but when I use the file browser (or import menu) to try and import a RAW image from my Canon EOS 20D DSLR, it doesn't see any of them.
Importing from a Canon 8400F with Elements 11? Why does Elements 11 not even show a scanner in the import options? What do I have to do to import from the Canon 8400F?
I have a new Canon 70D. If I upgrade to photoshop elements 12 will I be able to import raw files using this camera without using plug ins. It would not import raw files off a 70D in elements 11 but would for my older ?Canon 60D. Has this been corrected??
have PSP X4. RAW files from my new G15 have colors totally scrambled so I suspect yet another rev of Canon's CR2 format. See CR2 & JPG thumbnails, attached.
Satisfied with X4 and rather not upgrade now. Have installed Canon's "Digital Photo Professional" which correctly reads the CR2s. Rather work in PSP; Canon's app can save RAW as
Exif-TIFF 8bit TIFF 16bit and both in combo with Exif-JPEG
will TIFF 16 bit preserve the RAW data and then I could edit in PSP? Other alternatives?
I'm having trouble importing RAW (.CR2) files taken with my Canon T1i into PhotoPaint X4. I am able to do it successfully with my NikonD90, but when I import from the Canon, the image is all purple and black. I just downloaded and installed the latest Canon RAW codec.
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 have LR 4 and now I have bought a Canon 70D. Lightroom said it was unable to interpret the RAW files and directed me to get an update. I have updated to 4.4 and still have the same problem. How can I get my RAW files into Lightroom 4?
Problem: Connects and works once in 30 or 40 tries. Sometimes shows the camera connection and sometimes it will not. Have changed cables, wiggled cables, used different USB ports, and anything else I could think of to do. When it works, the Tethered Capture window does show all the pertinent info and the shutter release button works. Most of the time, it will at least recognize the camera, but none of the settings and will not download to the computer/Lightroom (as seen below). The camera will shoot and record the image to the internal card... just not to the computer/Lightroom.
I have since run maintenance programs, rebooted, changed to 32 bit, etc......
Equipment: Mac 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10/7.2 using Lightroom 3 (with all updates including Camera Raw), 4 gigs ram, 500 gig hard drive,with 200 gigs open.
I am testing the trial version of Lightroom 5.2. My new camera is a Canon EOS 70D. When importing RAW files into Lightroom the colors of some photos are wrong. RAWs from my older 450D are fine.
For example on one photo the sky isn't blue but turquoise. When using the DNG Converter I get the same color. The sky was blue though. When opening the file in Digital Photo Professional by Canon, the sky is blue as it should be.
It happens on some other photos as well. Mostly if they have a high blue content. If in Lightroom I increase the blue content and decrease the shades it almost looks as it should.
I am not able to use the tethering with my Canon 5D Mk3, the camera reads busy and I am not able to use any functions on the camera s wel, changing modes, speed, ISO etc.Ihave the newest version of the Canon solution installed and it works there, but not in LR4.
I have a doubt: when importing and converting from Canon RAW (CR2), extract Lightroom ALL COMPLETE information from the original file? I've observed that Canon RAW software display some information like the AF points that doesn't appear in LightRoom. I want to know about this question for better decide if i must convert to DNG and delete original CR2 or include the original RAW in the DNG file (duplicating his size)
first let me tell you that I'm familiar with LR concepts. I read a lot about RAW processing, color profiles and stuff. It all makes sense to me.
That having said... I'm unfortunatly quite unhappy with LR's color reproduction. It seems technically very accurate; unfortunatly -- Canon's own "Standard Picture Style" (so OOC JPEGs) are in most cases much nicer to look at, color-wise. I know it's not me alone having this feeling (just do a quick search).
Adobe provides look-alike profiles (.DCP-files) which are supposed to imitate Canon's Picture Styles. Unfortunatly none of these Adobe-profiles comes close (enough, IMHO) - most annoying thing for me is a strange blue/green cast in darker areas, e.g. shadows in daylight conditions are too bright and too blueish.
Remember, I'm using a EOS 50D (which probably won't get profile updates any more by Adobe, I suppose...)
So here's my question: Can I assume that Adobe already did the best they can to match Canon's Picture Style? ==> stop dreaming about a "better" "canon-50d-standard.dcp"-file. Take it or leave it, stop crying.
Or is there a possibility to tweak existing profiles? ==> find out how. Adobe's DCP editor, dcptool, whatever?
I have a Canon 6D with built-in GPS. Importing the photos into Lightroom brings in the GPS data automatically, but it doesn't bring in the GPS "log." The "log" is the actual path you've walked (or hiked or biked or driven) while the GPS receiver is on. In Aperture (or Canon software or some others), you can directly import the ".log" file into the program. Seeing your path in a new city (or whatever) is fun. Lightroom appears to only accept .gpx files.
I've found a simple piece of software that converts .log files to .gpx. (It's called HoudahGPS.) But is there an easier or better way to do this? I'm not looking to add steps to my workflow!!
