Cannot Open Camera Raw images in CS2

Hi
I am running CS2 and PSE 8,but cannot open Raw images in CS2
My camera is an Eos 5 MKII
Camera Raw in PSE is 5.5.
I would like to open the Raw files into CS2.
Any Help would be appreciated.
I am using the latest firmware from Canon.
Thankyou
Keith

Raw files are unique to each camera model and manufacturer. There is a 'model' field and 'manufacturer' field whose values are checked as any RAW format file is opened and if the program opening that file does not have the codes for processing that specific camera's RAW file, most programs will throw a error message and not precess that file.
For Adobe image editing programs you need to have the an ACR plugin version that provides the code for your camera model.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list the various cameras supported by Adobe photo editing programs and the version of the earlies ACR plug-in that supports that camera.
For the Canon Eos 5D MKII you will need ACR plug-in version 5.2 or better.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications list the program versions of Adobe image editing programs, the ACR plug-in version shipped with the program and the latest ACR plug-in version that that program can use.
The last ACR plug-in version for CS2 is 3.7, so you can not directly open the CR2 or RAW image from this camera. You could upgrade to PhotoShop CS5, the most current version of PhotoShop, or download a copy the free Adobe DNG, Digital NeGative, converter and convert your CR2 files to the Adobe DNG format and then open the DNG file with your copy PhotoShop CS2. You could also open the file with Canon image editing software and transfer the image as Tiff to your copy of CS2.

    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.

  • Opening  camera RAW images in CS2...  It won't do it!

    I'm trying to open RAW images in CS2. When I try to do it, an error box pops up saying that it's an unknown file type(.nef). I've even tried using the software that my camera came with, but that won't let me either.
    Also, the image RAW dialog box doesn't even come up when I try to open a raw image... Anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Ok, I figured it out. I had to get a dng converter that was up to date.
    I'm able to convert them to a negative now so I can upload them to P.S.
    Thanks for your advice!

  • Cannot Open Camera Raw Images in PS CR3

    Even though I've been a professional photographer for over 25 years, I finally decided it was time to go digital. Little did I know how overwhelming and frustrating the learning process would be, especially for an old timer like me. Well, the 10 day return period on the digital equipment and software purchase is up, so I have no choice but to move forward in the learning process. :)
    Actually, I'm excited about all the photographic possibilities that digital has to offer over film.
    The first batch of photos were taken with a new Canon 40-D in Raw + JPEG. When I open my picture folder (containing those photos) in Bridge, a CR2 icon appears next to each thumbnail image that was loaded from the camera flash card. The Bridge program is part of Photoshop CS3 that I purchased, and the 40-D has the latest firmware. (If relevant, the computer is a PC using Vista Home Edition.)
    Problem: When I double click on a JPEG image, I am able to load that image into Photoshop. When I double click on the CR2 icon, however, I get a message that says, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." What am I overlooking?
    Also, shouldn't a thumbnail Raw image appear along with its corresponding JPEG thumbnail when the content of the picture folder is opened in Bridge? As it stands now, I get only a CR2 icon next to the JPEG thumbnails.
    I would be grateful for any help you could offer.
    Many thanks.
    Bruce

  • I cannot open camera raw in photoshop on my mac computer.  I have the most recent updates and was wondering what I should do next.

    I have downloaded the most recent updates on my computer to Photoshop and to Bridge and I am still unable to open images in camera raw to edit them.  When I try to open the "Camera Raw Preferences" in Bridge, nothing happens.  Could this be a problem with my computer and not the software?  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. 

    Sorry, I cannot take your word for your "the most recent updates".  Very often users think they have the latest and greatest and it turns out they are wrong.
    Please specify EXACT version numbers.
    Also, more info is needed.

  • I cannot open my raw images in Bridge on my CS6, could someone help me as soon as possible please?????

    My photoshop has no plug in for my camera raw and i cannot open any CR2 or RAW images can someone help me please ?

    First, a clarification:  you are not addressing Adobe directly here in these user forums.
    Then, we need a lot more information before we can help.  For instance, what exact version of Photoshop CS6 are you on?  E.g., for Mac you need to be updated to Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6.  I forget what the current version for Windows is.
    What is the exact version of your OS?

  • Cannot open Camera Raw in Bridge with 5D Mark II files

    Just bought a Canon 5D Mark II and Adobe Photoshop CS4 - no experience with Adobe so far. Neither Photoshop nor Bridge opened raw files initially.
    After copying Camera Raw 5.3 manually into the (Windows) Photoshop "File format" I can now open RAW files in Photoshop (the automatic Adobe update program reported errors at installation and did not work) but NOT in Bridge. Maybe the 5.3 plug-in needs to be placed elsewhere - anyhelp on that for windows application would be great.
    When opening my raw files in Bridge, the automatic DNG conversion did also not work.
    My issue is that I don't know how to see and work on raw images in Bridge with the Bridge command "File/open in camera raw"  also not working. I was reading about the same issue in another forums and also in this space but after hours of trial and error and testing all the published wisdom I got stuck now. I am very keen to learn from the experts. Thanks in advance for support.

    Hello, and welcome to the forum, Ludwig.
    It seems that you missed both the readme ( http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.3_ReadMe.pdf ), or the detailed instructions on the bottom on the very page where you downloaded the update: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4365
    The correct location is: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats . You will need to remove the other copy from the Photoshop tree.
    Please post this information on the other forums where you also saw unresponded questions on the same topic, so that you can help others!

  • Photoshop Elements cannot open Camera RAW from Canon EOS 7D Mark ii

    I just bought Canon EOS 7D mark ii camera.  I have Photoshop Elements 12.  The program is unable to open RAW images.The message is "the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of camera Raw".
    I downloaded 8.7.1 plugin but that is also not able to open the image.

    You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7 Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in PSE12 (keep your CR2's as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Cannot Open Camera RAW files: Do I need to reinstall PS?

    Hello,
    I reinstalled PS today after I got my computer back from the repair shop.
    Now it will not open RAW files.
    I get the following error message:
    Any thoughts on what might be going on?  I realize this is an Apple screen shot, but I think this might be platform independent.  I'm posting my question there as well.
    Thanks,

    Hello, thanks for being so very helpful!
    I'm typing from another computer, so I can't immediately check which version of Camera RAW I am using.  But I updated Photoshop in what I believe is the best way, recommended on all the readme files of Adobe.
    I went to Help/Updates, clicked on it and was automatically routed to the latest and greatest updates.
    And my camera is a Canon 5D, so my best judgment is that even if it were not the VERY latest it would still be sufficient; many of the RAW updates have substantially been the addition of other, newer cameras to the list of supported hardware and mine has been supported for at least a year, before CS5 arrive.
    I know that that a great big part of the  problem is within Photoshop.  This is because my settings on the Image Processor are always for 1920 x 1080.  And when I run the Image Processor with these settings and then check my Destination folder where I have chosen to batch my new and improved downsized images to are ALL incorrectly sized to 1620 x 1080.
    So the problem is contained within the Photoshop module, or at least I have to solve that aspect before I go on to further troubleshooting.
    I have an academic discount so I've decided, because this seems to be a profoundly difficult problem to resolve promptly in view of my film submittal deadline, to purchase another full version of Photoshop for Windows, use it on my Windows machine, resize everything there and then export those .psd files on a thumb drive over to my Mac Pro.
    (I have all my key photos also on a Windows machine as a backup).
    It had not occurred to me until this morning that this approach will probably work.
    I've marked you as "answering" this question and I very much am thankful that you have helped me.

    100 Trees  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dPUp1m1pLA

  • Photoshop CS5.1 will not open camera raw images from a Nikon D600, downloaded all the updates

  • Can't open camera RAW image in CS4/Bridge with Win 8.1.  Worked fine with XP

    I upgraded from Win XP to 8.1 and got a new computer in the process.  I'm using CS4, and I think that works okay, except it does not recognize a RAW file.  Bridge won't open thumbnails for RAW files, and if I try to open one it doesn't open it in Bridge; it goes straight to CS4 and that says it's 'not the right kind of document'. It doesn't matter if the file is on the hard drive or on a Canon card in a reader. Bridge will display thumbnails for JPG files and open them in CS4.  It will not show the thumbnails for TIF files, but it will open them in CS4. How do I fix this?

    I did all that, in the order you recommended.  I downloaded, expanded and installed all three updates. I then checked the start page for CS4 and it is at 11.0.2. I also rebooted, but Bridge still won't display thumbnails of RAW files, will not open a RAW file in Bridge but sends it to CS4 which still says it is not the right kind of document.  If I try to open a RAW file in CS4 directly, I do get thumbnails, but it won't open the file.  On a more positive note, I called a friend who also has CS4 and who also recently bought a new computer.  However, his is a laptop with Win 8 Professional. He had not tried to use Photoshop since he got the new laptop, and he discovered that he had the very same problem. However, downloading the updates fixed him right up. My new machine is a desktop with Win 8.1.  What do I do now?

  • Open Camera Raw Images From Sony DSC-RX100II in PE12

    No joy.  Please help.

    What version of the Camera Raw plug-in do you have in PSE12?  Use Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw in the PSE Editor to find out.
    According to this list of supported cameras, you need at least ACR 8.2 for the RX100 II:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Using Help / Updates in the PSE Editor is the usual way to update to the latest ACR; however, the most current ACR is only compatible with newer OSes, so another question is what operating system do you have on your computer that is running PSE12?
