Elements 11 Camera Raw not supporting new Canon EOS 7D MkII.

When I try to open a Raw file from my new camera I get the message
'Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documents for additional information'
I've updated my Elements 11 and restarted the computer (Windows 7), but the problem persists.
Any solutions?
I could open the file with Canon software (DPP) and transfer it to elements, but I'd sooner not - it's a rather clunky process.@

Hi,
I think that Adobe do the best job they can. Adobe aren't treated any different from you or I by the camera manufacturers - they don't get any privileged information - they have to wait until they can get their hands on a camera the same as you or I.
If you want to blame someone then direct your blame on the camera manufacturers. If their raw files were written in DNG format then there would not be any problems or delays.
Just think, if nobody bought the new cameras for two months after they were being shipped, the camera manufacturers might change their attitude and cooperate with Adobe.
I don't think it will be too long before and update is released by Adobe. In the meantime, you can use the Canon DPP to convert the raw files or shoot in JPG to get familiar with the controls and settings.

  • CANNOT OPEN RAW FILES USING NEW CANON EOS 1D MKIII WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 5

    Hi, I have recently taken a number of RAW shots with my new Canon EOS 1D MKIII and have found that I am unable to import them into Photoshop Elements version 5 (using Microsoft Windows). Comments generated are: "the file is a format that cannot be included in the organiser" and "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file". The RAW file extension is .CR2 and I have been able to open these type of files taken on my older, and much cheaper, Canon 350D. I have spent hours considering different options but to no effect and am completely baffled. Do the two cameras produce different types of RAW files? Notably, the files do import into the Canon software 'Digital Photo Professional' but I want to undertake the more versatile manipulation in Photoshop Elements. I have managed to become even more baffled about Digital Negative ('DNG') files and wonder if there is some kind of converter I need. Would the solution be to purchase a more advanced Photoshop package like CS2? OR .......... do I need an 'Adobe Camera RAW' update? I have struggled to find the latest version for Photoshop Elements 5 to suit my Canon EOS 1D MKIII. There appears to be a 4.3.1 update but this only applies to Version CS3. Help!

    You probably haven't had anyone respond to your question because it has been asked and answered so many times. However, I will try once again.
    Adobe Camera Raw must have a profile for every model of every camera for which it supports the camera's raw format. It is not a matter of just supporting a file type such as your CR2 files. ACR needs to know specifically what model you are using. This is a problem that has been created by the different camera makers. They are the ones who are creating these proprietary raw formats. No, they do not cooperate with Adobe. That is why Adobe has to wait for a camera to be available, then obtain a raw file from that camera, and then create the profile so that ACR will recognize that camera. That is also why ACR is updated about four times each year, to provide support for newly released cameras.
    In an attempt to create a "common" raw file format, Adobe has developed the DNG (Digital negative) file format. Adobe is providing a free DNG converter. You always want to download and use the latest version of the DNG converter because it will be the one that supports the most cameras. The DNG converter creates a digital negative copy of your raw image. It contains all of the original raw image data. The image data is precisely the same data that was in the original raw image. The difference is that the DNG file has a "standardized" file header that stores as much of the metadata as possible about the image. Metadata is the information that records the changes that you make to your image when you edit it. Some of the image data is proprietary, and is therefore not available to Adobe. Obviously, that information simply has to be ignored by ACR. There are no XMP files associated with the DNG files. The information is stored within the DNG file itself so the XMP sidecar file is not necessary.
    If you decide to go the DNG route you want to make sure you are using the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert raw files from the largest number of cameras. Those DNG files can be opened by any version of Camera Raw from version 2.4 onward. Consequently, someone who is still using Photoshop CS still has the capability of working on their raw files even if they have the most recent up to date camera.
    Photoshop Elements will utilize ACR 4.3.1 and any subsequent updates to the ACR 4.x releases. Judging from past experience, there should be another release soon. No one knows for sure. These releases are never announced ahead of time. ACR is not as robust in Photoshop Elements as it is in Photoshop CS3. It is the same plug-in, but a number of options are not available. It will support the same cameras, however.
    You don't need to worry about matching the DNG converter version number to your working version of ACR. The only relationship is that matching version numbers will support the same set of cameras. But the DNG files that are created can be used in any version of ACR from 2.4 onward.
    Anyone who is involved with digital photography and shooting raw has become a victim of the arrogance of the camera makers. The camera makers want to protect their proprietary format, and they want to promote the use of their software. Some of that software has to be purchased, so it is another way for them to make money. Until such time as everyone agrees on a common raw format, the photographers are the ones who are at the mercy of the camera makers. And there will be a continual ongoing updating process that we will have to wait for.

  • How do I get Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) support for my new Canon EOS 7D mkii.

    I purchased the new Canon EOS 7D mkii in early November. I tried opening the raw files in both the latest Creative Cloud versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. I found that Adobe Camera Raw, both the current versions and ACR 8.7 beta/release candidate, did not support this camera. I know one exists because dpreview reviewed the pre-relase version of this camera in mid-October showing images processed with an unreleased version of ACR?
    How do I get this early unreleased version of ACR for this camera?

    Canon Eos 7D Mark ii was launched after we released ACR 8.7 RC. So, that’s the reason it is not included in the RC version. However, it is on our radar and hoping to add it in an upcoming update itself.
    As soon as it is available, it will be updated in the below article.

    Only Apple knows. The never announce upcoming RAW support in advance, sorry. And if anybody knew, it would not be allowed to post this information here.

  • Wann wird Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 die Canon EOS 70D unterstützen?

    Wann wird Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 die Canon EOS 70D unterstützen?

    Wie Mylenium schon geschrieben hat wird CameraRAW 6.7 die 70D nicht unterstützen.
    Um weitere Ratschläge zu geben fehlen Infos welche Adobe-Versionen du einsetzt. Eigentlich erfolgt das Update von CameraRaw auf neuere Versionen automatisch. Wenn deine Version allerdiings schon etwas sehr alt ist, wirst du um eine kostenpflichtiges Update deiner Software nicht umhin kommen.
    Eine Alternative wäre allerdings die Konvertierung deiner RAW-Dateien ins dng-Format.

  • Will there be a RAW plugin for Elements 12 supporting the Canon EOS 7D MkII - or when will the DNG converter for this be available?

    I've just bought a Canon EOS 7D MkII but cannot open the RAW files in Elements 12. I also can't use the latest DNG Converter to convert them - will either option become available and if yes how long is it likely to take please?
    Thanks, Sarah

    Hi,
    The Canon 7D Mk II is currently not supported by any version of camera raw.
    It is expected that Camera raw 8.7 will include support and we are hoping that it will be released soon.
    PSE 12 has ceased to be updated - you will either need to update to PSE 13 or use the DNG 8.7 converter (when it becomes available) to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - PSE 12 will then beable to use the DNG files.

  • Using PS CS5.  Cannot open Raw files with new Canon EOS 5D Mark III.  Works fine with Mark II.  Any answers?

    Current camera raw is 6.6.

    Support for the 5D Mark III was added in ACR 6.7:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update

  • PS Elements Camera RAW für Canon EOS 70d

    Ich würde gerne wissen, wann das Plugin Camera Raw für die Canon EOS 70d in Photoshop Elements 10 zur Verfügung steht.

    Versuch einmal das Plugin mit dem Suchbegriff "camera RAW" zu googeln und downlade die Installationsdatei. Das Plugin installiert sich dann von selbst in PSE, unter
    C:Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe. Die Version ist auf dem Stand von Oktober 2013. Ich habe diesen Schritt heute morgen gemacht, weil ich mit meinem PSE10 die RAW Datei meiner neuen Nikon Kamera nicht bearbeiten konnte. Jetzt gehts!
    Viel Erfolg

  • CS 2 and Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII

    I have CS2 and can't open RAW files from my new Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII in it. I presume this is because Camera Raw 3.7 doesn't support the new camera. Does anyone know if this is likely to change ie. is it likely to get supported?
    If not does anyone know a way around the problem other than me having to upgrade to CS3.
    Not that it is really relevant but I have Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Thanks
    Geoff

    No, once a new version of the Creative Suite comes out, all new Camera Raw updates only work with the newest version of Photoshop.
    There is a convenient workaround, though! Download the latest version of the Adobe Digital Negative Converter. Use that to convert all our EOS 1Ds Mark III images to DNG format. You can then open those DNG files up inside of Camera Raw 3.7!

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

    Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

    Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
    Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
    The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.

  • Camera RAW Support for Canon EOS 50D

    I'm trying to read RAW files from the new Canon EOS 50D in Photoshop. I have Camera RAW v4.5 which is stated to work with the previous 40D, but doesn't seem to work with the 50D...
    Has anyone managed to read RAW files from an EOS 50D using Photoshop?
    I'm on a Windows PC using Photoshop CS3 version 10.0 with the Camera RAW 4.5.0.175 plug in. I've also tried the DNG converter downloaded with that version of Camera RAW (same ver no.) to no avail.
    Help gratefully received!

    >Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
    is not present (or any near equivalent) on my PC.
    If you don't have that exact location then the odds are that your Photoshop/Bridge CS3 install is wrong. The location listed is the correct location for XP and Vista 32 bit. If you have Vista 64, then there is a different location. But, if you have XP or Vista 32 and you don't have that exact location already, then you really need to check the CS3 install.
    > put the CameraRaw.8bi file into Programs/Adobe/CS3/Plug-ins/File Formats/.
    And that's the WRONG place to put it...that location will ONLY allow Photoshop to access it, not Bridge. The Camera Raw plug-in MUST be installed in the CORRECT location for both Photoshop and Bridge.

  • Is the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II supported in Creative Cloud?

    Is the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II supported in Lightroom and Photoshop in Creative Cloud?  If not, is there anyway to know when it will be? My current version of Lightroom (5.6) does not recognize the RAW files from this camera.

    Native Lightroom support for the D750 was added in the Lightroom 5.7 update released this evening.

  • Aperture and RAW support with Canon EOS 60D

    Got my new Canon EOS 60D yesterday. But Aperture does not support the new RAW photos from the EOS 60D yet.
    Anyone with the same problem?
    When is Apple updating the RAW support for the 60D in Aperture?

    Well, DNGs don't actually contain all the data of the original raw file, so that could be an issue.
    As an example, the focus point functionality of Aperture 3.0 doesn't work with files converted to DNG, as the camera-specific information has been stripped from the file by Adobe. I don't know whether the DNG format can actually hold that info or not, but as of today it doesn't.
    Apple historically has tended to support the new SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, so I wouldn't be surprised if support came along shortly. That said, buying a camera the day it's available and expecting immediate support for its raw format is not all that reasonable. The vendors providing raw support don't necessarily have access to pre-release versions of the cameras (in general), so there's going to be some time necessary to develop and QA the support for the new format.
