Got my 5DmkII today, help required!

[CarlukeDave]

Got my 5DmkII today, absolutely loving it so far, can't wait to try it out properly!

Only problem I'm having so far is that when I put the CF card in the laptop it says the files cannot be imported into photoshop as they are not the correct type! This happens with CR2 in RAW or jpegs, the same memory card is okay in both formats on my 40D!

Am I doing, or not doing something stupid?

Thanks in advance

Dave

You need to upgrade your Camera Raw plug in for Photoshop

 

[goslayer]

[CarlukeDave]

Next question is...... how do I do that?

Thanks

may involve upgrading photoshop too depending which version you have

 

[CarlukeDave]

I have Elements 6, I have downloaded the upgrade, but can't see what to do next!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Send the 5d to me and i'll check it over for you, might take a week or so though

Or use the free software that came with the camera.

According to HoppyUK, it will automatically correct for lens distortion as well (although I haven't tried it myself....)

Yeah, Canon's DPP software is great It has a lens aberrations correction suite which reads the Exif data and knows exactly which lens was used, at what f/number, focal length etc, and then applies custom correction.

It will correct chromatic aberration (CA) and vignetting, as well as distortion. Turns any lens into L quality! Well, not quite, but it really does make a big difference with some of the cheaper consumer zooms. Only works with Canon lenses though, and you need to shoot Raw.
