robertjewett Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>I shot a fashion show last night and I switched to MRAW because I was running out of room on my card.</p> <p>Now, I cannot open the images in LR 2.5 or PS. I have downloaded and installed ACR5.5. I have tried Adobe's DNG converter, all to no avail. I am running Windows 7 64bit. I have tried every bit of software that came with the camera. I am stumped.</p> <p>Guys, exactly how can I convert these to something I can use? I have clients waiting...and I am pulling my hair out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold_motte Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>Are you saying that the DPP software that came with the 7D will not open the files?<br> I do know how you can view them at least; try ardfry.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel_bocanegra Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>I dont know about that one. I have LR 2.5 and ps cs4 extended 11.01, both open raw just fine with full exif info. i would assume mraw would the same just a 10mp file. I'll try later to shoot one mraw and see if my LR opens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sattler123 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Did you try DPP - I am sure that it will convert your MRAW just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
py-photography Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>mRAW, isn't supported yet by adobe, I also found that out the hard way.. Use DDP, and export as tiff and then all would be good.<br> Adobe isn't dealing with the high ISO shots very well either.. Or I haven't been very impressed with it...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>DPP 3.7.2 and you're in like friggen flint! [works great too, even high ISO]</p> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_wilson Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 <p>As Puppy says you need to open in DPP3.7 convert and then edit in Photoshop. I used ACR a few times with the 7D and was very unhappy - I thought it was the camera but it is the software - even at Full RAW the ACR images are poor. I have also noticed that on the preview that since I upgraded to the latest ACR Beta vcersion my 5DII previews sometimes show some large red pixels which are not present once I open the photo but which are quite distracting. As Peter says ACR is very bad with high ISo 7D images.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgranone Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 <p>DPP can process your mRAW<br> regarding 7D processing ....<br> I was using DPP for all processing.<br> I switched to this method --- I am getting sharper and better controlled noise in images<br> - process image in DPP with sharpening at 0, all noise reduction at 0<br />- output from DPP at 16 bit per pixel TIF<br />- open 16 bit per pixel TIF in Adobe Photoshop CS 4 64bit<br />- arbitrary rotate if required<br />- apply noise reduction using 64bit Neat Image v6.1 (auto profile, auto fine tune)<br />- apply smarp sharpen at 121% (with extra precision option selected)<br />- apply auto contrast, or auto color if required<br />- convert to 8 bits<br />- save as maximum quality JPG<br> The skies look good in the images, and the sharpness is better.<br> This works great at least until Adobe releases a non-beta Adobe Camera Raw converter update to try.<br> I would be curious to hear how others are processing 7D images.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertjewett Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 <p>Thank you. I finally figured out DPP, and they are converting now. You rock.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel barrera houston, Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 <p>Use DPP tools to transfer to Photoshop, either CS3 or CS4, depending if I am using filters that can not be used in CS4</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_wilson Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 <p>Paul I use a similar approach to you, opening in DPP and converting to a TIFF and editing in Photoshop but I apply the noise reduction in DPP. Like you I do not sharpen in DPP.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drubene Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 <p>If there is any negative feeling, it is central to the hurdles I am having to take with processing 7D RAW files. Since I am an Aperture, I praying to the Apple Photo gods that they will release an update real soon. However, being a sports shooter, games and events are not waiting. Post prod has been modified a bit and includes the following:</p> <ol> <li>Using DPP to process the RAW files ... identical to the setting Paul noted previously.</li> <li>Save out of DPP as a 16-bit TIFF (of sometimes JPG)</li> <li>Import into Aperture. Massage the pics as usual ... tweak white balance if needed, a little sharpening, edge sharpening, etc.</li> <li>Export the pre-final as a JPG ... high quality.</li> <li>Noise reduction completed outside Aperture with Noise Ninja (stand along apps is very fast ... kicks a$$ over the Aperture plug-in)</li> <li>Photo is posted online as needed.</li> </ol> <p>Any other Aperture-heads out there doing anything different?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
