Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

InDesign won't open. Photoshop

InDesign won't open. Photoshop & Illustrator do. I tried to register my product (Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium) but it won't take my code.

Smilessarah what specific error message do you receive when opening InDesign CS6? Also which operating system are you using?

Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers.

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

The updated Illustrator won't open. Photoshop and Acrobat did

The updated Illustrator in Cloud won't open. The updated Photoshop and Acrobat did.
It mentioned something about needing to register. Thank you.

Hi Tina,
Which OS are you using?
Sometimes this is caused when Mac preferences become corrupt and prevent Illustrator from reading them properly or scratch disk for Illustrator is not set properly. Mac preferences become corrupt when home space is filled to capacity or computer shuts down improperly. Illustrator preferences must be set before using the product for the first time or when preferences become corrupt.
Solution 1
Start Illustrator.
Click on "Illustrator > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks".
From the options available for the "Primary Scratch Disk", choose "LocalScratch", and click "Ok".
Quit Illustrator and start it up again.
Solution 2
Quit Illustrator. Move the following folders from your home space to the trash:
Library/Application Support/Adobe
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Library Settings
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.illustrator.plist
The problem should disappear upon quitting and starting Illustrator after one of these solutions is applied.
Regards,
Rave

Acrobat won't open PDF made in ID CS5

Hi There,
I recently upgraded to CS5 and am having trouble opening PDFs I make using the Export command in InDesign. It makes the PDF, but then Acrobat gives me the following error when I dbl clk the file to open it:
Acrobat could not open '2010 Supplement.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF.
This error message seems off the mark, as obviously it was not sent to me by email and was created out of the source application already.
Oddly, when I right click the PDF icon and use the Open With command, the file opens.

This is the same thing that is happening to me.
I spent a little while reading the other thread on this forum about PDF's not exporting from CS5 properly. It either enters an endless loop of background tasks or it never finishes and people end up having to force quit.
Mine is having issues but when I export a PDF, it actually creates the PDF icon but when I try to open it I get an error message telling me the file has been damaged or something. This is only happening to me with larger files, particular 20+ page files. It doesn't matter how long I wait to try to open the PDF, it just won't open.
I tried one suggestion from someone on the other thread that recommended you export from Adobe PDF presets, and create a new preset instead of using any existing ones, but that did not work either. I am working with a vendor that is requesting a PDF to print from instead of a packaged inDesign file and I cannot for the life of me get this file to save as a PDF. Even when I hold my mouse over the PDF icon that it creates, it reads "0 bytes" as the file size, even if I wait like half a day before trying to open it. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it!

.CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning. I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D. My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe. The WinZip was about $30. Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu. I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version. I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save. I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder. At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in.
After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine. I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
Hope this helps.
