Got my Canon 40D - cant use it in my workflow (doh)
so this is my first new camera in ages, and i was pretty excited about
working with it. i used to use Photoshop + Adobe Canon Raw (ACR, guts behind Bridge), but now i use Lightroom (also uses ACR i believe). i was pretty bummed to discover LR doesnt recognize the 40D's new .CR2 raw format. refuses to import/convert to DNG. posted on the LR forum and they said this is standard, wait for a quarterly ACR update, etc. ok. guess ill have to. but thats lame. i guess theres a big debate on whether hardware corps should switch to an industry standard file format, like DNG, or whether they should work w/ Adobe to provide launch-ready ACR updates, or whether ACR could be "plugin-able" so Canon can deliver Adobe a new raw "profile" or whatnot. i dont have the architectural answers for that. but i do know its pretty lame that i cant really do much w/ my cam. (sure, i could use canon's software for processing, but when LR supports my CR2 it would be ignornant of any processing i did) sm |

Maybe we should just trade? |

At least your using a supported app (or at least one which will support the
files). CS2 doesn't like 1D3 files.

They tend to get new formats in place pretty quickly. I note on the dcraw website that if your format is not supported, he'd like you to upload a photo and he'll work on it. Likely to take less than three months. My guess would be probably a few days since it's most likely quite similar to other formats. |

(sure, i could use canon's software for processing, but when LR supports my CR2 it would be ignornant of any processing i did) sm Give up on hoping that that ancient 16-bit platform (i.e. PhotoShop) will ever do anything right. Get and learn PhotoLine 32 from www.pl32.com a full 32-bit program. It'll read your RAW files just fine, and you have more advanced tools than in Photoshop. For one, you don't have to use last century's bicubic interpolation for all your image manipulation tools as Photoshop forces you to use. Bicubic softens and blurs any fine details when using any tool that depends on it (rotations, leveling, perspective and lens distortion corrections, cloning, etc. etc.). You can use a Lanczos8 algorithm in PhotoLine for all your image manipulation tools which preserves all your fine details. You have no idea how often PhotoLine's built-in raster to vector conversions come in handy for making multiple masks and paths. Its raster to vector capabilities far surpassing programs dedicated just for that purpose. The list of advantages and things that PhotoLine can do that Photoshop cannot is many. Way too many to list here. Dump that crap program PhotoShop and get something more up to date that can actually do what you need. |

(sure, i could use canon's software for processing, but when LR supports my CR2 it would be ignornant of any processing i did) sm Maybe you should try to integrate Canon's RAW converter (DPP) into your workflow, and use it until support for the 40D is available in LR. DPP supports 16bit TIFF as an output format, so you may be able to use it just for the basic RAW conversion and do all the fine tuning in LR, without losing too much quality. Sure, that's somewhat inconvenient, but I think it's still a better solution than "not being able to do much with your new camera" for a few months... Peter |
