Trell W


Okay.

Answer
go for Canon 50D better
Canonâs new EOS 50D bridges the gap between the novice and the seasoned pro with a perfect combination of high-speed and quality. It features an APS-C sized 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor for tremendous images, new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for fine detail and superior color reproduction, and improved ISO capabilities up to 12800 for uncompromised shooting even in the dimmest situations. It features a refined 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots) monitor, supercharged Live View Function with Face Detection Live mode, plus a number of new automatic Image Correction settings and HDMI output for viewing images on an HDTV. Pick up the EOS 50D and youâll experience true digital inspiration!

Canon 50D problems... From camera to computer?




Amanda H


I am a new owner of a Canon 50D and am experiencing some issues with it. My fiance's sisterinlaw did something with my settings, and I know she set it to RAW mode (the extension on my images is .CR2) but here is my issue:

On my camera, the images I take look extremely sharp and vibrant, but when I transfer them to my computer, they are dull and dark and full of noise. I am viewing the images in the regular Windows Photo viewer but have also tried Google Picasa and the same thing happens. (for example, I went to my fiance's firehouse yesterday and took some pictures of the fire engines and the red color looked rich and vibrant on my camera, but then transferred to my computer, the images were dark and dull and had a LOT of noise.)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I am really disappointed that these fire dept images did not turn out the way I had hoped!!!



Answer
The reason the RAW files don't look quite as bright and vibrant is because RAW files are unprocessed. It is also possible the camera was set to Neutral or Faithful in the picture styles menu which truly will make images look flat and full.

While I too once used Google Picasa to process my RAW files, I stopped because I just didn't like the way it handled images. The last version I used, had a weird habit of making it's own edits without any input from me which drove me nuts.

All of this aside, if you want your images to come out just as they did when the camera was set to JPEG, use the software that came with your camera (Digital Photo Professional). That software can read the Picture Style settings in your camera and produce JPG images identical to those that would come straight from the camera.

DPP is included for free with all Canon DSLRs. The current version is version 3.8 (PC) or 3.8.1 ((Mac). However, your 50D probably came with an earlier version but, it works the same way. The interface hasn't changed much in three years. I own both a 40D and a 7D so I've seen several different versions. You'll find documentation for the software included on the CD that came with your camera or you can download it by going to the support/downloads page for your camera at http://www.canoneos.com.

For what it's worth, I know quite a few professionals who use DPP for all their RAW image processing before editing photos in Photoshop. I am not a pro but, I use DPP anytime I need to process a large batch of RAW images for the web. I like it because the workflow for that process in DPP is much simpler than using Adobe Photoshop CS4. That said, I still use Photoshop when an image is special and I plan to produce a large print.
