Hi All,

As with many users here I am shooting with 1Ds3 tethered to Mac Pro via EOS Utility/Lightroom.

As I shoot and the images get auto-imported into LR, the RAW and JPG thumbnails are placed separately in the filmstrip and this reminds me of Canon's older versions DPP. I do know that when I import images directly from my Canon G9, LR stacks the RAW and JPG thumbnails together but for tethered shooting this doesn't seem to work, even when the 'keep RAW & JPG as separate images' is left unchecked in LR preferences. Does anyone encounter this problem and if so how do you solve it?

Also may I know if we can shift the location of the filmstrip to the sides when viewing images in portrait formats? I thought the swap thumbnails position option for DPP and C1 is very useful when shooting to small screens as the desktop real estate is maximised.

Please advise.

Many thanks
Stryke

What's happening to the images in EOS prior to firing off to LR. I don't shoot RAW+Jpeg, but the rate of transfer via the watched folder is quite quick. (Not as fast as it should be) Maybe the rate of transfer affects it?

Hi,

I always shoot in RAW+JPG just in case the RAW files get corrupted for some unfathomable reasons. I set my in-camera JPG processing to highest and picture style to neutral. Yes the JPGs get imported much faster than the RAWs, last I checked 1-2 seconds for JPG and about 6-7 seconds for a RAW shot tethered to a Mac Pro 2x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel OS 10.5.4 with 4GB RAM. Tolerable for me as I do not shoot fashion much like the other photogs here.

Hi All!

Did somebody have news about tethered Shooting without the canon software and the hotfolder, only with lightroom.
A adobe guy told me about this function developed in the next lightroom release.

Thanks, Bye,

Thomas

The filmstrip can only be on the bottom for the latest version.

As far as the raw+jpeg issue, are you renaming the files when they are auto imported in LR from the hotfolder? Reason I ask is the delay between the raw and its own jpeg can cause those files to be renamed something entirely different. If not then LR may not figure out after the fact that the two should be stacked because of the delay.

I shoot tethered with Canon and Leaf and use LR auto import and find quirks often. Sometimes an image doesn't come into LR until the next frame is shot. That usually happens in bursts of frames.
