Camera is the Canon 1ds3 - is there anyway to display the active focus points in LR?

TIA.

No, it's proprietary info. Would be good to have though, and I'm pretty sure there are applications which do so (Breezebrowser?)

Thanks, I'm trying to diagnose some focus issues and that would have been useful.
Canon DPP does as well...

Well that isn't exactly a third party app! IIRC Chris Breeze worked out how Canon stored the information, but Adobe have to be a cautious about reading proprietary information. Hopefully their Eric Chan will read this thread and comment.

Hi John, my understanding is that Breeze Browser uses the Canon SDK for raw conversion and obtaining info about the image, so it's able to extract the focus info that way.

Camera Raw / Lightroom don't use the Canon SDK (doing their own raw conversions instead) and thus don't have access to this info.

I've previously mentioned this in the adobe lightroom forums on adobe.com and i got really harsh answers from users... stuff like:

"I focus and recompose, the focus points are then inaccurate"

So because that is the way that one particular person shoots, LR should not consider this option. Non-sense. I think adobe should really provide this. It would be really nice.
