How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.

  • Cannot open CR2 files with Photoshop CS4.

    I own Photoshop CS4 and I recently bought a Canon 5D Mark III. Every time I try to open a CR2 file I get an error message that says "it is the wrong kind of file." Help! What do I do?

    you need cr 6.7 or better.  ps cs4 can only be updated to 5.7
    you can use the dng converter, http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106

  • Can't open .CR2 files in PhotoShop CS5, Camera RAW or Adobe DNG Converter

    Firstly take note I shot these with a Canon EOS 450D (or Rebel XSi)...
    I see a lot of answers speaking about having the most up to date version of the Camera RAW Plug-in.
    I have a similar issue with my .CR2 files... I cannot open them in Camera RAW because it tells me that my camera model or make is not supported by the Plug-in, and so I was directed by other forums to just try converting the .CR2 files to .DNG. I already had the Adobe DNG Converter (version 6.5 I believe), so I tried this. It too told me that my files or camera make were not supported.
    However, I have always been able to successfully both open my .CR2 files AND convert them to .DNG. I had not updated anything on my camera nor on my Adobe programs and for some reason this last attempt to open RAW files failed me... I have no idea what change would have led to it. Luckily I shot in both RAW and Large JPG but I certainly don't want to rely on my JPGs of course... Any idea why this problem might have arisen now if it had always worked easily in the past?
    Thanks!

    Are these the same exact files you've opened before that you cannot now open?
    Or are they newly copied files (camera or CF card to computer)?
    Can you not open ANY Canon 450D files, even those you find online and download?
    What I'm getting at with these questions is to try to eliminate or suspect data corruption of the files on your disk.
    Exactly what versions of the various tools do you have, specifically (don't guess - go check)?

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • Is there any photoshop API functions can let me open a file with photoshop in my plugin?

  • How do I open a file with an .msg extension please?

    Hello, can anyone tell me how I can open a file with an .msg extention please?

    On a Classic operating system, which predates 2001, it may be difficult, except with a really old version of BBEdit Lite from http://www.barebones.com/
    Newer versions of BBEdit or Textwrangler can probably also open it if you don't have a Classic operating system.
    Microsoft Entourage and Outlook can probably also open such documents.   Outlook Express was available for Classic operating systems as well, but it may be too new for it to read those documents.

  • Cannot open a TIFF file with Photoshop CS5

    I have enclosed the URL to a TIFF file. I am not able to open this file using Photoshop CS5, as it says unsupported file with this version. I didn't face this problem before.

    Thanks in advance.

    Something must have corrupted someting in the file so newer versions of photoshop won't open it.
    I was able to open it in photoshop 3, ImageReady and also paint and a couple of other non adobe image editors/viewers.
    Though the transparency didn't seem to survive.
    If have you some other image editors or viewers you might try those.

  • How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

    Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

    Hi,
    The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
    If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
    Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
    Which operating system are you running on?

  • Can't open CR2 or JPEG files with Photoshop CS5 on Mac

    I recently switched an existing install of Photoshop CS5 to a new MacBook Pro that's running Yosemite (10.10.1).
    Photoshop could open most images (e.g. PNG, TIFF, PSD) but it could not—and still cannot—open any JPEG images. These same JPEGs open fine on Preview. I started this thread about the issue a few months ago:
    Strange "out of memory" errors all of the sudden
    I recently tried to open CR2 files from my (old but trusty) Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Photoshop says that it doesn't recognize the file type.
    I tried to install version 7.1 of Adobe Camera Raw but each time I try to install it the Adobe installer displays a cryptic "Update Failed. This patch is not applicable for you." error message.
    I don't know what else to try. I'd reinstall Photoshop CS5 but I don't know how to do this since it didn't come with any CDs and I can't find any Adobe resource online to reinstall Photoshop.
    Help!

  • Can't open CR2 files in PhotoShop CC. Raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. MacBook Pro OS 10.9

    I'm trying to open .CR2 files (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS) with PhotoShop CC on my Mac. When I try to open them I get an error saying the file can't be opened. The raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. Adobe's charts say I need at least "4.6,5.1" so I would assume my version should open it. What gives?

    First thing I should do is to link you to the Camera Raw forum where the members there have a far better understanding of Camera Raw problems than I do.
    If the generic advice doesn't work, it's time to bring in the specialists.   Click on that link and post your problem with the CR2 files.

  • Unable to open RAW files with Photoshop CS6 - Camera Raw

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to open .CR2 files from a Canon 450D on Photoshop CS6 as well as with Lightroom 4 but it doesn't work.
    I've updated the Adobe Camera Raw to its latest edition (8.8), but anyway, when I try to open them it appears the message below: It basically says that photoshop is not able to open the file, make sure that you have installed the latest edition of Camera Raw and to visit the link for further info...
    After looking for solutions on Internet, I've also tried to convert the RAW files into DNG, but Adobe DNG converter says that the folder does not contain any RAW file, though they are all .CR2 files...
    I've tried several times in many ways... Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Benjamin,
    You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
    Many many thanks! Cheers
