Canon EOS-1D Mark III and EOS-1Ds Mark III File Corruption

[Peter16]

It's hard to believe that the developers didn't see this when writing the software. Actually you have to believe that they did see it and someone thought it would be acceptable to release it anyway. \"It's only on one edge. Maybe the poor users won't notice.\" Unbelievable. I REALLY want Phase to get it right because I really hate the ACR/LR interface, but this is ridiculous. I'm almost beyond words...and again, the lamest of responses to a real problem.

i have used c1 pro 3.7.7 without any major issues when processing raw files with my 1DS MK2 canon but once i switched to 3.7.8 at least 1 out of 10 images processed has at least half of the frame covered with a black screen! this is so frustrating! it seemed like 3.7.8 has a lot of issues and reading from the support was not helpful as they say it does not support CANON 1DS MK3 but i am using 1DS MK2! to phase one techs... WHAT HAPPENED HERE??????? i used c1 pro for almost 4 yea\\rs without a hitch and gladly paid for the software and now i feel cheated! they dont seemed to be interested in supporting c1pro 3.7.8 they expect us to wait for C1Pro 4 which is still not out yet! folks we got a lot of work to do and precious time is wasted here! Frankly i am not happy with this!

Hi Pigdog,
Try CO 3.7.9 Pro, which was released earlier today for Mac.

[andrew chester]

i will look into this, i hoped i can use this version tethered with my canon 1DS Mk2
and also i hoped Phase one has sorted out some of the issues like the processing problems. many thanks for the heads up

Keep us posted! (No doubt you will )

i just checked the release note, it would appear that it will not support canon 1DS mk2 tethered when used with mac osx 10.5.x or leopard. i am not inclined to backtrack my os to 10.4 etc.. as this is a lot of work and far too much trouble. i will just stay with the 3.7.8 as i only got this version installed on my macbook pro while my desktop handles all the processing, for that, i will stick to 3.7.7 as i have no issues with it.

Capture One Pro 3.7.8 and 3.7.9 both support the Mk2 tethered... it is OSX 10.5.2 that causes an issue because Apple included tethering programs for apreture... We have a very simlpe work-around that solves the issue here: http://www.phaseone.com/HOME/Content/Su ... nguageID=1

[andrew chester]

ok i will try this then i applied this on the 3.7.8 with mac ox10.5 and worked very well

Just updated to 3.7.9 still getting the 4 pixel line on 1ds Mk3 files
Setup is Quad G5 10.5.3 with 8.5gb RAM, really hoped for a fix Phaseone......

Same here. From my experience and from the release notes it seems that it was fixed for the 1D Mk III only, not the 1Ds Mk III. Not a pleasant surprise.

[Edward2]

Wonder why they thought it wasn't worth a fix???????

[andrew chester]

agree! They really should the bug fixes for the 1DS Mk3 as this is the flagship model that a lot of pros are using. i for one am holding back from buying the 1DS Mk3 until such time Phase one can get it to work with their software

[Edward2]

You will have a long wait, would Phaseone like to comment why they thought it wasn't worth a fix?

Today is my first time processing files in photoshop CS3 VS C1. Thanks phase for 6+ months of frustration of black bars and corrupt files.

See ya, off to photoshop and Lightroom!

Just a follow up. I processed 3500 1DsMIII files in PS3 the other night, not a single crash or any black bars and none of the images had the red pixels of death. I can't wait for the NEXT version of 3.XX when they fix the rest of the bugs.
