I cant open .cr2 RAW files in photoshop cs4

I have a Canon 1000D, and im trying to open RAW files to edit in cs4. Everytime i open it, photoshop says that it doesnt recognise this type of file, but i open my friends RAW file (450D) and it can read it. I have also downloaded the 5.4 RAW plug-in for cs4, and it still wont open. Is there something else that i have to download?
Thanks

ok, so i opened the DNG converter program, and this is what i did. I targeted the converter to the 'test' folder that i made on the desktop, then clicked ok, and when i clicked convert, it came up with a "this folder doesn not contain any supported camera raw files" warning, but it clearly does have raw files in the folder :/

    You have two options with Photoshop.
    Upgrade to CS4 so you can use the latest Adobe Camera Raw plug-in, or use the DNG converter from the Downloads page above to make readable versions of your CR2 files.

  • Cant open nef raw file in photoshop elements 9?

    i have photoshop elemets 9
    i have a nikon d5200
    and i have problems opening nef raw file. this is the message i get.
    i have tried all updating procedures.useless.i am upto date.i opened file as a raw nef file and i get this message:
    could not complete your request  because of a program error

    For the D5200 you have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Folks,
    I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
    I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
    Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
    I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
    Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Doug...

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
    I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

    I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
    Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF  100mm1:2.8 USM)
    Many thanks!

    How can i open RAW files in Photoshop CS4 from Canon EOS 6D camera?

    You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

  • Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

    i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

  • How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

    How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor.  I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
    This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

  • When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

  • How do I open my raw files in Photoshop that have been shot with a Nikon D1700?

    I can't open my raw images in Photoshop, I have updated Photoshop but it is still coming up with ...' 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 documentation for additional information'.  The photos have been taken with a Nikon D1700

    It means that you'll either have to use the Adobe DNG converter and convert your RAW files to DNG first, or upgrade to CS6, or use Lightroom to export (TIFF) to Photoshop.
    I used the DNG converter for years before finally upgrading Photoshop.  It was an extra step, but it just became part of my workflow - put card into reader, download RAW files, go grab a beer, batch convert to DNG, drink beer, edit in Photoshop.  But had I known about how powerful Lightroom was I would have switched over to LR long before and just used that to export to Photoshop when necessary.

  • Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

    I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
    Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
    Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

    I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD  in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on.  I use FastPictureViered Codec Package,  When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for.  Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

  • Camera raw doesn't open when opening a raw file in photoshop

    I have a mac mini and am using the latest version of lightroom and have an EOS70d. The problem I experience is that when I open a raw file from lightroom it goes directly into photoshop without launching the camera raw plugin and when I manually launch the camera raw plugin from within photoshop, i do not see the details from the metadata in the image, such as colour temperature etc and there is no blue link at the bottom of the screen. I have tried the version of camera raw included in photoshop asnd the latest beta version, it's the same in both and also the same on my windows machine. I have also tried with raw images from my other cameras including ones taken a long time ago and that have previously opened in camera raw and they don't. Please help
    Graham

    As I said, read my post "Send me both ses files (no media) via my aatranslator dot com dot au web site".  I made no mention of saving "frozen track SES files without any media".
    I understand your frustration but I only made an offer to assist.
    Now if you want me to have a look at your ses file to see if I can work out what is going on then send it to me without sending any of the media associated with it. 
    If not I'm happy either way.
    BTW
    The idea of sending 2 ses files is to compare the one which can't find the frozen track with one that has just been saved and apparently includes the frozen track.

  • Add ability for Lightroom to open a RAW file in Photoshop

    Currently, one cannot open RAW files in Photoshop from Lightroom. I realize that there are many of the same ACR 4.1 features in LR, but sometimes I just want to the open the RAW file directly in Photoshop.

    I agree with this feature request.
    I have lightroom and PS Extended. Lightroom is perfect for browsing and searching through my RAW images (much better than Bridge I find), and many times I will process the RAW in lightroom and then send the TIFF to Photoshop for further editing.
    HOWEVER, ;O) Photoshop extended has far more RAW capability. Sometimes I look at a RAW in lightroom and would like to send that straight to PS Extended to process the RAW with the extra features. At the moment, I have to manually open photoshop, search for the photo (which is a long time consumer when I already found it in Lightroom) and then process.
    This would be a very handy feature.
    It would also work perfectly with a similar extra feature to export RAW to a 3rd party program. Sometimes, after browsing photos in lightroom, I would like to send the RAW straight to Photomatix, an HDR software for tone mapping. It only works with RAW for tone mapping, but Lightroom only allows you to send a TIFF/JPG to an external program.
    These simple features would really really speed up my work flow.

  • I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. How do I open its RAW files using Photoshop CS5. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5

    I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5  I have Photoshop CS5.  How do I open its RAW files?

    Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
    to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.
