FYI – On the hunting trip i just got back from, i discovered a problem that i was unaware of with lightroom and canon RAW files.
Eric I think you are right …I have teh 40d and have just upgraded to LR1.2 the RAW files seem …not washed out but overexposed ? think that would best describe them ….They look 100 times better in the canon software ..i did not think there could be a diff but there is …….Sill cant view sRaw in LR wonder if they will develop a patch /……….

Im using ACR 4.2 as a precursor to getting CS3, sort of a trial run fro me to get used to it. Coming from Raw Shooter which wont support the 40D, so far Im very impressed with it. With regards to colour DPP is widely regarded as the best converter.
The downside is DPP is its regarded as the weak in most all other respects. I personally cant stand the interface, and in most other respects I dont think its stands up to RS. Eric if you use DPP the RAW files will look a bit flat when compared to jpegs which have a fair amount of in camera processing done to them. However the colours will come out closer. As mentioned though its not as strong an application in other areas.
So far Im more than impressed with the colours and tones Im seeing from the 40Ds files as converted in ACR 4.2.
thanks Eric.
Give Canons DPP a good try. The interface isnt great but it does do the best job (according to popular opinoin) of reproducing colours. Jpegs will always seem *better* off the bat but once you find a converter you like its hard to shoot anything but raw…atleast for me.Im using ACR 4.2 as a precursor to getting CS3,
I am interested in how you are doing this. I have CS2, updated ACR and it doesn’t recognize my files from the 40D. If I could, I would hold off upgrading to CS3.
Hi Don.
Adobe added support for the 40D on Sept 14th or so. I could be wrong but I suspect the problem for you is CS2, which Adobe may not support anymore.Once I picked up the 40D I lost Raw Shooter as my converter. I dont really feel like shelling out for CS3 but do need to find a new raw converter, so when I saw that Adobe added support for the 40D I bought Elements 5.0 and am using ACR 4.2. Once I have a feel for it ( and so far I like it) Im going to get CS3.

You are correct… they no longer support CS2. I was hoping that I was doing something wrong. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS3
CS3 is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! You will love it!! Also, you can custom calibrate CS3 to your particular camera or shooting style and then simply click on your custom preset camera calibration before editing. Take it a step further and you can even set up a preset calibration for the different lenses that you use and then save the settings independently for quick adjustments on those as well. Just have to save the image after each calibration, if using more than one preset…
