My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

What version of Bridge and Camera Raw is your friend using?  And what camera is this from?
Each camera must be supported specifically and older versions of Adobe products don’t get updated for newer cameras.
Your CS6 is obviously new enough and has been updated to a new enough version of the Camera Raw plug-in but perhaps theirs is older or hasn’t been updated.
Here is a list of cameras that Adobe supports along with the version of the Camera Raw plug-in that is needed to read them:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
For versions older than CS6, the highest CR version is +1 of the CS version—CS5 can use CR6.x but not CR 7 or 8.
The exception is CS6 which is still be sold by Adobe so can be updated to CR8 even though it initially shipped with CR7.

  • Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4?

    Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4? Any help would be appreciated.

    You would need PSE 11 to open those files directly into PSE. Your options are:
    1. Use DPP instead.
    2. Download the free DNG converter and use that to convert your raw files to dng files that your version of the raw converter can open:

    3. Upgrade to PSE 11, although that won't help Bridge any.

    Hi Guys,

    There are no specific updates for Lion or Mountain Lion. The Office updates are for all OS's.
    Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads
    Then, click on the version of Office that you have. It will list the updates that are available.
    Also click on Additional Tools. Download and install the update for Auto Updater.
    Note that Microsoft's updates for Office are usually not cumulative, so you must install them all in order.
    The Auto Update app will find the ones you need and install them.
    From any Office App, go to the Help menu and select "Check for Updates." It will open the AutoUpdater.
    The current version is in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0

  • Unable to open CR2 files elements 10

    I know this problem has been disscussed on multiple occassions but i am completely baffled.
    Recently elements has been unable to open any new CR2 files saying they are the wrong file type. The reason i am baffled is when i bought the software (month or two ago) i could open and edit CR2 files successfully, now elements can't open any of the recent CR2 files taken and will only open certain CR2 files that i have had stored on my computer, all of which previously worked.
    The Camera RAW plugin is up todate (6.6) and i have tested the SD card in another computer and worked fine. I have tried different cables in my computer and other computers in case the cable was the problem and they seem to check out fine. I have manually downloaded the plug in and checked if the plug in patch was in the correct folder, which it is, as well as re-installing the programme all to no success.
    I just cant understand why the problem has started now after originally working fine. Can anyone provide some advice?

    Hi,
    I connect to the PC by cable. I have checked the Canon codecs and it appears to be up to date.
    The photos seem to transfer to the computer fine (they at least appear on the computer, with the icon showing a preview of the image)  the problem is opening them in the editor.
    I shoot in RAW and JPEG and i am able to open and edit all the JPEGs.
    As you say the 1000D has been supported for some time and a couple of months ago when i bought elements i was able to edit the RAW files, the problem has occurred in the last month which is the strange thing.
    I cant see the cable being the problem seeing as all the JPEGs open fine, and i have used the cable to connect other cameras up to the computer with no problem.

  • Unable to open CR2 file in elements 11

    Everytime I try to open a CR2 file i get an error saying
    "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 info."
    I am shooting with a Canon 6D and Canon 60D so I know the camera models are supported.  I have already updated to the 7.1 version of Camera Raw. 
    I have been trying to look for solutions for about two weeks now with no success... PLEASE HELP!!!

    Make sure you're online with a good connection, open PS 11, click on the Help menu and select "Updates.." on the bottom.  The rest should be automatic.  It should upgrade you to 7.4.

  • Can't open .cr2 files in Bridge CS4 v.3

    Been browsing for hours; can't find the right answer...
    I just purchased a Canon 60D, which shoots .cr2 raw files. They won't open in Bridge, which previously opened my Canon 10D .crw raw files. What do I need to do to make the .cr2 files open?
    I'd rather not install Canon's Digital Photo Professional 3.10 (came with camera) if I can find a solution/upgrade within Bridge/PSE.
    Details:
    MacBook OS X 10.5.8
    Bridge CS4, completely updated to v. 3 with Camera Raw v. 5.7 (which are the latest updates available, I think; just updated today).
    Photoshop Elements 8
    Thanks in advance.

    Your CR2 files from the 60D are not supported for your version of ACR.
    Each vendor uses different Raw type and sadly enough they use also a different raw type for each new camera the produce. Adobe offers free upgrade for those cameras, about 3 or 4 times a year. In the past they could not get the new Raw types earlier then the consumers so often this meant you had to wait for a period before the ability in ACR was there. Today they have a better relationship and often get pre production models so the updates are already there when the new cameras arrive on the market.
    However being a commercial company they don't offer those upgrades for other then the latest versions of ACR and Photoshop. Currently CS6 and CC are both getting the updates but earlier version are not upgraded any longer.
    Here is a list of the cameras that are supported and the minimum ACR versions needed for the cameras:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    There is another option available and that is the free Adobe DNG converter. The latest version is here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5596
    Or if the link does not work do a search on Adobe.com your self. After the files have been converted to DNG you will be able to use them in your version of ACR.

  • I exported my bookmarks to do a clean install, but now my exported file is nothing but pages of text. How can i retrieve my bookmarks?

    I backed up my firefox bookmars, and the file that came out of it is no specific file type. Even in the properties, it just says "File type: File".
    So now i'm trying to restore my bookmarks, but I can't open that file. If i try opening the file itself with firefox or any other browser for that matter, I get long pages of text. It does contain my bookmarks, but it's really hard to read. What can i do to fix this?

    That is a JSON backup.<br />
    You need to rename the file and add a .json (lowercase) file extension to make Firefox recognize the file as a JSON backup.
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open CR2 files. Running OS X 10.10.1 and camera raw version 6.7.1

    Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1.  It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.

    Hello,
    I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I do not have any problem when opening with iPhoto.
    How are you "opening" in iPhoto? Simply browsing the photos in iPhoto will may be using use the embedded preview images.  Can you edit your photos in iPhoto or export them using "File > Export"? Only if you can export a photo or edit it in iPhoto using iPhoto's editor, you can be sure, that the the RAW support for your camera is properly installed.
    Your camera needs this RAW compatibility update to be installed -see this link:  Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
    Have you  installed all recent RAW compatibility updates?  And for the applications to find the installed RAW support it needs to be registered with the Launch Service database using the lsregister command.  This database keeps a list of supported media formats. Sometimes this list will be outdated and recent entries missing.
    In that case it can help either to reinstall the RAW support, see this post:
    Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
    Or to run register it manually by running the lsregister command from the Terminal:

  • 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

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

  • Unable to open .eps file "unknown format and cannot be opened" ?

    A client sent me an .eps file (logo). I tried opening it in Illustrator AND photoshop (just to see if it was saved in one vs the other program) - however to no avail.
    Illustrator gives me a message "unknown format and cannot be opened"
    Photoshop gives me a message "photoshop was unable to parse the postscript".
    I'm using Adobe CS4, and I've never seen this message before—would love to know what this means and how to resolve?
    File attached if anyone is able to open / fix it?
    Thanks kindly,
    Chemol

    Thanks for the advice Scott - does compression improve the .eps?  Is it
    silly for me to ask them to compress it since the file is only 766 KB
    (that's how big the attachment is in my email - though I am unable to open
    it)?
    My friend is able to open it on his end - however the 3rd person (client) is
    the one who sent it, and I have already requested a different version - no
    response from them yet.  Unfortunately what the company "has" is what he
    will likely give to me again (ie: same file / unable to open).  So ... I am
    curious about how I can resolve this issue on my end - if possible?
    Do you know what the AI and Photoshop error messages mean? Could the issue
    be a mac vs PC concern? Or is it a corrupt file? Could it be a software
    version issue (old vs new) ... or Quark incompatibility?
    .... just guessing at this point....Any insight as to what different
    scenarios may apply in this situation would be greatly appreciated ..thank
    you.

  • PS will not open .cr2 files

    PC crashed. After re-install my CS3 version of Bridge and PS will not open .cr2 files whereas they did open theses files prior to crash. Lightroom still able to open same files. Please guide me to answer as am doing wedding for daughter's friend in 2 weeks and now am sweating bullets. Is it drivers, camera (Canon 50D) or something else?
    TIA

    The Camera Raw plug-in does not follow the rules of computer literacy.
    I should have advised you to read the instructions on the download page.
    You have to delete or move out the original plug-in from:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    And then place the downloaded version 4.6 in there.
    It will not overwrite the old one, which has to go!
    (To be certain of success, do a search for other instances of  the file Camera Raw.8bi and delete them.)
