Accessing raw file taken with Canon Powershot G16 using Elements 11

I own adobe photoshop elements 11, which I have used successfully for the past 18 months or so with my Canon Powershot G15 camera. I recently upgraded to the Canon Powershot G16 but was disappointed to find that elements 11 does not recognise the raw files taken with the G16. I have tried various intenet forum fixes to no avail. I would rather not go to the expense of purchasing  Photoshop Elements 12 to remedy this shortcoming, particularly as Elements 11 more than meets my current photoediting needs. I would be grateful for information on any patches etc that might allow me to access raw files taken with the G16 without have to resort to purchasing Elements 12.

after much consternation I have discovered that the problem is APERTURE.  Despite claiming that the program is compatible with the G16 RAW files it really is NOT.  I had to download Canon's own photoediting and viewing software....and guess what no problem at all editing, viewing any of the files.
I tried them in Lightroom too and guess what...no problem at all!
So although Aperture has been like an old friend it is time to say bye bye and make the big trek over the Lightroom! 
Sad but relieved.

  • Why can't I open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200 in Elements 10?

    Is there a fix in the works that will allow me to open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200?

    Actually the 7.1 camera raw update covers the D3200, but for whatever reason adobe has denied users of pse 10 that update.
    Maybe it will still be released, but to me something else seems to be up, because in the past the latest version of elements (at least on windows) was always updated
    to the latest version of camera raw at the same time photoshop was.
    In the meantime you could download the 7.1 DNG converter to convert your files to dng copies which will then open in pse 10.

    I know this stinks, but other than using the camera makers or aftermarket raw programs (lightroom), that's the best i can suggest for now.

  • I am unable to import Raw files taken with my new camera Canon SX60HS.

    I am running Elements 12, I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw v 8.7.1 as it indicates that it supports raw files taken with this camera model.  I continue to get the error that nothing imported as it did not contain supported file types.  Do I have to do something further to connect this ACR program to Elements in order to have it work or am I missing something else.

    The SX-60 HS requires ACR 8.7, and PSE12 is only compatible up to ACR 8.5, so you’ll either need to upgrade Elements or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to convert a folder of raw files to DNG files, and then those DNG files will open in your older ACR.
    You can get the DNG Converter from here:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • I cannot open raw file shot with canon 20d. I get an error message.

    I recently used a 50d camera and shot in raw +jpeg. Downloaded into computer. Was able to view jpeg but was unable to view raw version.At first I attributed this to needing software update for 50d. I brought up a raw file taken with a 20d and the same error message appeared. I could open a 20d file before. This morning I tried again.I did open a 20d file.I tried a 50d file and the error message appeared. Went back to 20d file and the error message appeared saying it cannot open file.I am less than a novice. I purchased elements 6 a year ago and am just starting to try to use it. Are there updates that I need to do .

    Why Adobe doesn't touch proprietary raw files
    Touching the bits of raw image formats that aren't publicly documented well (or at all) seems like a bad idea, bound to end in tears. Microsoft is advising customers not to edit metadata using Vista, saying,
    Microsoft has received reports of compatibility issues with Nikon NEF files after installing version 1.0 of Nikon's raw codec posted in January. Tagging the raw files through Windows Vista or the Microsoft Photo Info tool after the codec is installed appears to cause these files to become unreadable in other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop. [Via]
    I'm sure the problem will get sorted out soon enough, but it does illustrate why Camera Raw and Lightroom insist on using sidecar data files for raw formats other than DNG. It's less convenient, but we've seen far too many conflicts arise from touching metadata in these other formats. DNG was designed with flexible internal storage of metadata in mind, and now Lightroom and Bridge offer conversion to DNG as part of their photo-import processes. (For what it's worth, on my MacBook Pro, converting an 8MP CR2 file to DNG takes roughly 1-1.5 seconds--not a bad price for portability & reduced file size.)

    You will note this this was posed on Feb 12th 2007 and that it appears to still be an issue. Oh dear.
    Sure would be nice to see the link to where you got this.
    This refers to problems using Microsoft software and Vista, not Adobe software and Vista. I believe it is saying that Adobe properly handles both .nef and .dng files. I have no idea how this quote relates to this thread at all.

  • I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4

    I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4?

    For that camera, you need at least Lightroom 5.2. The alternative would be to use the DNG converter, version 8.2 or later. Or, you can upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • I cannot open raw files taken with my Canon Mark III in CS5

    I am running CS5 on a newer computer (2012)... Every time I try to edit raw images taken with my Canon Mark III, a text box appears alerting me that my camera model is not supported by camera raw. I have tried various updates and software installations, but I have been unsuccessful in remedying the problem. Can anyone help or tell me what update/ software to download? I apologize if this thread already exists.

    Canon Mark III do you mean Canon 1D Mark III or Canon 1DS Mark III or Canon 5D Mark III ???
    In any case CS 5  ACR update 6.7 should handle all those cameras.

  • Updated Camera Raw File for CS2 / Canon Powershot G10

    I am still using Photoshop CS2, but unfortunately I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6) for use with the Canon Powershot G10, and it appears the unless I upgrade to CS4 I won't be able to view any RAW files shot with this camera.
    Is there an updated Camera Raw version for the Powershot G10 that is still supported under CS2?
    Thanks!

    ACR 5.4 was released last night and it requires CS4.  That is the latest and current version of Camera Raw.
    5.6 probably won't appear until next year.
    If you download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.4, you can convert the raw files from your camera to raw DNG files you can then open in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

  • Can PSE 12 open and process Camera Raw pictures taken with Canon GIX Mk. 2 camera?

    I have bought a new Canon GI X Mk. 2 camera. I consider to update my Photoshop Elements 9 to new the newest 12 version, but I will only do that if the PSE 12 can manage Camera Raw pictures taken with my new camera. Can anyone help?

    Yes, but you will have to install the Camera Raw 8.5 or later update. Go to Help > Updates to start the update process. You can verify what version of Camera Raw you have installed by going to Help (Win) or Photoshop Elements (Mac) > About Plug-in > Camera Raw.

  • How can I access RAW files from a Canon 650D on PSE 9 or 10?

    We have versions 9 and 10 of PSE to install on two computers, upgrading from version 6 on one of them.
    We have two Canon cameras - a 450D and a 650D - and have taken RAWs on both. The 450 works fine with PSE6, but we can't get PSE 9 to take a RAW converter new enough to read the 650 files.
    We don't really understand the difference between CR2 and DNG so don't know what we might lose if we used the DNG converter for the 650 RAW files.
    Pat & Mike

    You'll have to upgrade to PSE11 to get native support for the 650D, or use the DNG converter to make your files compatible with an earlier version.

  • Bug exposed when comparing Jpeg and RAW Photos taken with Canon 20D?

    I'm using iPhoto 7.1 to manage my photos. My Digital SLR, the Canon 20D, can be set to save photos as both RAW (CR2 files) and Jpeg (JPG files). Both of these files can be imported into iPhoto with no problem.
    The problem that I have is that these photos that should be identical, have two major discrepancies.
    1. Their resolution are NOT the same. (3504x2332 for CR2, 3504x2336 for JPG)
    2. The colors appear different (CR2 appears reddish, JPG appears normal)
    Interesting to note: if I export the same CR2 file out of the iPhoto library (export it as Kind='original'), and open it with IrfanView running on Windows 2000, the photo is viewed with the expected resolution of 3504x2336 and the color appears normal (i.e. not reddish).
    I'm a new Mac user, and relatively new to digital photography, so any advice or suggestions would be appreciated! I've heard of color profiles and adjustments, but I'm not sure how that works. Perhaps I could be pointed to a HOWTO type document?
    Cheers

    OK, next RAW files again.
    These hold the data the sensor 'saw' when you took the shot together with 'metadata' such as aperture, shutter speed, white balance settings, ISO setting etc - lots of data in fact.
    Most programs do not alter RAW files at all - they are the digital negative and should not be altered.
    The latest iPhoto treats all newly imported photos in this manner - RAW/JPG or other format. It keeps a copy of the original in a folder called originals, and any edits/crops you make are applied and saved either as a modified JPG or TIFF. This non-destructive editing is a great feature that many RAW editors allow so you can go back to the original image if you mess things up. Applying the principle to JPGs etc is equally as important.
    Canon's Digital Photo Professional is a free RAW processor program you can download from their site - certainly worth a look, but you may well find iPhoto simpler if not as flexible. On Windows, not sure about Mac OS, DPP does actually alter (or add) some metadata to RAW files - it doesn't alter the 'sensor data' but somehow embeds edited values to the RAW file so they display as edited next time - you can go back to original but I doubt other software will understand these tweaks.
    Digital cameras are getting better and better at getting white balance etc correct, however RAW files are great mainly for two things.
    Firstly - in camera white balance settings are simply those applied to JPGs the camera produces. Set it to fluorescent and take a shot of a cloudy scene and the JPG may look awful. With the RAW you can change the white balance after the event and is a real image saver. I particularly like software that lets you use a 'dropper' to choose a neutral grey shade on the image to set the white balance.
    Secondly - over/under exposure. As RAW files hold more light intensity detail you can often bring out shadow detail from underexposed images or recover blown highlights from images that are unusable as JPGs. There are limits to this latitude of course.
    In camera JPGs are often all you need - the RAWs just give added flexibility.
    Next thing I'd say is not to get too hung up about profiles at this stage.
    Yes, you can pay for generic profiles or even expensive personalised profiles for the 20D - there are some gains in compatible software (sometimes the profiles are designed to work with particular software!). Not necesarily huge gains though, so I'd say keep it simple to start with.
    If there's one thing it's worth profiling, then it's your monitor.
    I often use the analogy of a TV with a video still image from DVD or VCR.
    Say you adjust the brightness/contrast/colour/sharpness of the TV then the image can be made to look wildly different on different settings.
    However the actual image being displayed is not itself altered at all by the DVD player or VCR on pause. Turn the TV off it goes black, but the DVD/VCR still outputs that same image. It's just displayed differently or not at all!
    Translate this to editing photos.
    The RAW or JPG will be processed by iPhoto according to a particular colour space, say sRGB or AdobeRGB - now how on earth do you know that the monitor's brightness/contrast/saturation are at the correct level to display the image correctly? Is it brightnes 50%/75%/20%?
    The answer is the monitor profile which tweaks the output of the monitor towards a preset calibration - this is for a given brightness/contrast/colour setting (not all monitors have exhaustive adjustments but some do). Generic profiles which come with Macs are better than nothing, and indeed often quite close to an individually calibrated monitor profile.
    You can however calibrate your monitor either by eye or using a hardware accessory.
    Open your System Preferences folder and choose Displays.
    Click the colour tab and remember the profile name highlighted!
    Click on any others to see how different profiles affect the display - the other profiles will invariably be wrong for the monitor but they show the effect.
    These other profiles DO NOT make you system display an image say as sRGB or AdobeRGB - what they imply is that the monitor can display the range of sRGB or AdobeRGB - it can't! It can display what IT is capable of displaying.
    It is the image profile that makes software display it in the sRGB or AdobeRGB or other colour space. The monitor profile allows the image to be displayed more accurately by mapping available colours it can display or close fits to the one's the image contains.
    There is a Calibrate button in this tab which should help you Calibrate your monitor by eye (I think I've not used it).
    You can also buy hardware accessories to accurately calibrate your monitor (I use an EyeOne Display by Gretag Macbeth - older version - there are far more expensive and also reasonable cheaper options out there). The hardware devices basically cycle through a display of 'known colours'. The device's software knows what colour it's trying to display, the device usually hangs over the display and measures what's actually displayed, then reprograms the way the graphic card displays colours and also creates a custom monitor profile - this process of calibration optimises your monitor's display.
    You can also calibrate or get custom printer profiles made to optimise printer output, but you won't be doing that. Some online photo sites do however supply profiles which match their photo printers so you can tweak your images to match output on their hardware.
    Most photo sites that the public use however will assume that the images are sRGB. If you send an AdobeRGB image for printing it may be treated as sRGB and printed incorrectly if that photo printer's software doesn't take account of embedded profiles.
    I said it was complex and confusing!
    Continued again!

  • Downloaded raw 7.1 to my cs4 and can't open raw files taken with nikon d5100.  d70 raw files do open

    Need a solution to above question.

    Raw 7 is compatible with Cs6 version of Adobe software, not with CS4.
    Check this link :- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    and to open the Nikon D5100 raw files the minimum camera raw plugin required in 6.4

    You can use the DNG converter with the CS4 to open this files, I think that will be the best option.

  • Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

    Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
    Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi SSPRENGEL,
    Thank you for your response. Here is the error message I am receiving, I tried with various destination folders in the computer but it still gives the same error:. Just to let you know, I am able to import pictures into these folders from other memory cards.
    I am able to finally at least extract the jpgs using the option suggested by elie-d
