Not sure which forum this belongs in!
Before I spend any more time and frustration on this, maybe someone can tell me if this is even possible to do. I want to shoot tethered to Lightroom (as I always do), but I also want to run Canon DPP, with the EOS Tool, so I can get the LiveView up on my laptop screen for critical focusing. The liveView is the ONLY reason I would be using DPP & EOS Tool. The capture would be handled by Lightroom.
So far, I can't seem to run both programs at once without crashing something. Sometimes LR freezes up, sometimes EOS, sometimes the camera seems to flip out...Am I wasting my time here?
Or -- is there another way I can get the liveview off the camera and on to my laptop? The entire point of the exercise is to make it easier for me to focus, particularly when I've got the camera jammed into a corner somewhere and can't get my eye to the viewfinder. I'm open to any solution.
