Issues with opening CR2 raw files in CS4

I have a Cannon EOS 60D Camera and I also have photoshop CS4.
When I try to open my raw photos into CS4, it does not recognise the file and says words to the effect of "this file is not recognised".
I tried to install the 5.3 plug in but this did not work.
Help !

Cannot open CR2 RAW files in Photoshop

To support RAW files from my new Canon Powershot G11 I downloaded to Camera RAW plug-in 5_6 dmg from adobe. I manged to be able to view the CR2 RAW files in Bridge. However when trying to open a CR2 RAW file from Bridge into Photoshop I get the following error message:
"Uanable to use Camera Raw plug-in, it is not compatible with this version of Photoshop (CS3)."
How do I overcome this problem?

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.

Can't open canon raw files in cs4

I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

Hi John,
Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.
Regards,
Doug

Paragraph style issue when opening imdl (CS5) file in CS4

Sending a CS5 file to a printer using CS4. When they open the imdl file in CS4, it changes the paragraph style in the pull quotes. The initial character, whether a letter or a quote, appears tiny. It looks like a paragraph style issue. The 'quote' paragraph style in CS4 has a drop cap set on it.
Has anyone else had this problem or have a suggested fix? Certainly, we can check our files in CS4 before sending each time, but what a pain!

IDML is meant as an interchange format, and is far from "the same file but in another version".
If your printer wants a CS4 file, send them a CS4 file. Better yet, ask them why you have to send them native files anyway and what's their problem with a PDF?

Issue with Opening a PDF file

We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi there,
Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

How can I open 100D RAW files in CS4, I have tried everything.

Hi guys, can someone please help me. I am trying to open 100D RAW files in PS CS4. I have tried so many things including downloading the plug in and even DNG converting but would rather be able to open RAW files direct and not have to convert everything to DNG anyway as it is time wasting. Can someone please help! Thanks, Jen.

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The 100D is supported from ACR 7.4, which was released shortly after the camera came on market. ACR 7.x requires Photoshop CS6 to run, and won't work in the by now very old Photoshop CS4.
So your only option is to convert to DNG and open those in ACR 5.x / PS CS4. (or upgrade, of course, but I take it you don't want that).
EDIT: assuming Canon 100D.

When I open CR2 RAW files from Powershot G10 they are in black and white. How do I get colour

I'm using Elements 13 on a PC running Windows 8.1. Each time I open a CR2 RAW file from a Canon Powershot G10 it displays in black and white. The image transferred to Elements is still in black and white. Why can I not see the image in colour?

Try holding down your Alt or Option key. The Cancel button in the Raw dialog will change to Reset.
Click on that Reset, and hopefully it goes back to defaults.

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 :/

Issues with NAS, iPhoto, RAW file format, AEBSn, Leopard

I think I've isolated it down to a networking stack issue with Leopard, but I was hoping I could get some more thoughts/advice. I don't want to downgrade to Tiger, but I may need to! Either that or host my iPhoto library locally.
Scenario:
My iPhoto library was messed up. Some albums were missing and it couldn't seem to find them. Rebuilding my library was giving me errors. So, I decided to start fresh. I created a new library and began importing files. I noticed that my RAW (.CR2) files were showing glitches in them! These were major glitches, like big squares of blue or yellow and distorted pictures. I checked the original pictures, those were fine. I checked the pictures in my new iPhoto library, those files are corrupted! Not the thumbnails, but the files themselves. I opened the file in Photoshop to verify. Yup, busted.
Attempted Solution:
I tried downgrading to iPhoto 7.0 from 7.1.1, thinking that that might be the problem. Still having issues with the RAW files. Do I need to downgrade to iPhoto 6? I can't believe that's the answer. Even in iPhoto 7.0, the problem persists.
Now here's the interesting thing: not all files are broken. Some files work, others don't. Some files are imported without glitches some of the time; reimporting them results in a glitch. That suggests to me that it's a networking problem.
I'm using 802.11n to an AEBSn2 (gigabit), which has a ReadyNAS NV connected to it by gigabit ethernet. I don't think it's a hardware network thing since everything seemed to work in Tiger.. I think it's a way that Leopard handles the networking stack. Didn't they revise the underlying network stuff for Leopard?
Help!

Are you able to switch to 11g? I heard that helps for some people. I haven't tried it yet. Right now, I have about 7500 photos, so I want to copy everything and back it up. Once I get it backed up, I'm going to try other solutions, but it may be a few days before I get anything tested.

CR2 (Raw) files in CS4

Hey all, I seem to have ran into some trouble when trying to read .CR2 files with CS4. I've downloaded Camera Raw 5.7 and I've checked the list of compatable devices and it includes my camera (Canon Powershot 12). I'm trying to open through Photoshop itself, not through Bridge. I've also updated through Help->Updates, with no change.
The error message I get is "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I'm a novice with the software, so if there's any info I've missed off that I should include then just ask.
Thanks in advance.

As you have noted, there is no Canon PowerShot <anything>12 in the Camera Raw 5.7 list:
http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
The DNG converter may be a better way to go than shooting JPEGs... With the DNG converter, you convert your raw files to .DNG files, which Photoshop CS4 / Camera Raw 5.7 can open. You retain all the quality advantages and conversion control of shooting Raw images but with one extra step required.

ACR 4.1 Issue - Lightroom Issue with Nikon D40x Raw Files

I am running Windows Vista and CS3 and am trying to process Nikon D40x raw files (NEFs) using ACR 4.1. The images come up properly in Bridge. However, when I try to add metadata using a metadata template, I get the error: "There was an error writing metadata to DSC_130.NEF." When I try to rotate an image in Bridge, I get the same error. If I try to do a Batch Rename, the name does not change. If I double-click on the image, it opens properly in ACR and the image can be rotated in ACR, and it then appears rotated in Bridge.
I also tried importing the D40x images in Lightroom. The following error appeared: "Problem Importing Files. The following files were not imported. The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."

Jeff,
I installed camera raw.8bi (size is 10,187kb)in
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
I'm beginning to think this is a Windows Vista issue. I just installed ACR 4.1 on my XP laptop and it works fine. For both the Vista machine and the laptop, my raw files are on an external drive. If I move the raw files on the Vista machine from the external drive to the c: drive, there is no problem. I'm exploring whether there is some permissions issue in Vista that is not allowing me to write to the raw files if they are on an external drive. Ain't new operating systems just great fun!
Thanks!

Please help. Issues with opening a .prm file.

I am trying to open a Win-CNC.prm file and all that happens is Adobe Premier Elements program pops up and that is it. What am I doing wrong?

Because it's not a frequently asked question, we do not have the Facebook section in the FAQ document. Sorry about that.
There is no direct way to get a PDF document shown in the Facebook window into Adobe Reader for iOS. You need to go from (1) Facebook to (2) Safari (web browser), then to (3) Adobe Reader on iPhone (and iPad as well).

Post-migration Network Issues with opening Appleworks 6 files

I just switched over from an ancient eMac to the new 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac for my primary computer at work. Ever since I made the switch however when I try to open older Appleworks 6 files I am prompted repeatedly (at least 4 times):
"Connection failed: The server "SPSP-EMAC" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
It seems like Appleworks is attempting to contact the windows server for SPSP-EMAC (a different eMac on the same network) in order to use the Appleworks 6 program.
I turned windows sharing back on the SPSP-EMAC and now I have to enter a password for the workgroup (seemingly to connect to the SPSP-EMAC in order to avoid the annoying pop-ups).
I'm not sure why the iMac requires this connection to SPSP-EMAC in order to run properly especially when Appleworks functions properly when it is not connected (despite of course the annoying repeat popups).
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hello stephen:
I have not used Appleworks for years, but there is a forum for that product that might be helpful to you:
