Tether Program?

Hi Hoggers. I hope you can help with my problem. I don't have a current copy of the Canon program that allows me to tether my 60D to my iMac. My attempts to get the current program from the Canon website have not been successful. I have an email in to Canon support, but I thought perhaps the Hog site could get me an answer faster. A third party program, perhaps?
Thanks

I'm no help as to your core question, but do you use Lightroom? Tethering is pretty simple with LR.

Thanks, Dan. Not currently using Lightroom. I do have a copy of lr 3. I'll check it out.

Apparently, LR3 does support tethering: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1664579

However, it may not support your camera. You can download a free trial of LR CC Classic and check it out.

Capture One is often mentioned as one of the best tether software programs. You can download a free trial to check it out.

Thanks for the responses. I am working on digitizing my slides and negatives, and I want to be able to check focus on my computer. I did get a response from Canon support, and was able to download a working copy of the set of programs.
