"Recovered" CR2 files will not open in Photoshop CS6

My son recently completed the National Three Peaks Challenge. Regrettably, having taken loads of pictures, he discovered that one of the CF cards was corrupt. He and his fellow climbers have now paid a company (a considerable sum) to recover these photos and they are all showing as CR2 files. Unfortunately, neither Photoshop or any other program that he has (including Preview) will not open them. The images from the uncorrupted files are fine.
As you can imagine, he is desperate to get these images back so if anyone has any bright ideas as to where we go from here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for your suggestion, normfb, which I passed on to my son. He has come back with the following answer -
"Tried the DNG converter, didn't even recognise there was a file in the folder I told it to look in!
The issue is that no programs be it Photoshop, that DNG converter, Lightroom or Preview are able to recognise that file format."
Appreciate the idea though.

  • D800 RAW files will not open in Photoshop CS6

    I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
    I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have.  I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success.  I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
    The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
    Any idea what the problem is?

    Brilliant!  ACR 7.1 Beta allows D800 RAW files to be opened within CS6 and it also allows Photoshop 4 to open D800 RAW files in Photoshop CS6.
    It says that the Beta version will expire on 30/6/2012 after which it will keep advising on a daily basis although it will still work.  Any idea, what happens next?   Does Adobe issue a proper ACR 7.1 and distribute it as part of the update service?

  • MOV, and MP3 files will not open in photoshop CS6

    I'm studying Photoshop at home using Pearson's " Class in a Book",  from Adobe. I'm now stuck in Chapter 10, editing Videos, because I cannot open two files needed to proceed with the next excercise. I'm not able to open 3 of the 9 files in Photoshop, even tried to drag, change format, etc. All the other files with formats like MP4 and JPG have no problem opening, only those with MP3 & MOV extensions. I Should note that I can open all the files directly from windows file explorer or using Bridge, through Quicktime. I need to open in Photoshop so I can do the exercises. Please can someone help me? Bellow, is the message i get when I try to move the file to Photoshop.

    You're welcome!  It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
    What counts is that you are back in business.

  • Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Ferdinand12345,
    Cannon 7D mark II has been included in the ACR 8.7. I would advise you to wait for the 8.7 camera raw to release.
    In the meanwhile you can go to labs.adobe.com and download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and then try to import.
    Thanks

    Hi, I am currently experiencing the same issue as you, and its driving me crazy. I know how you feel.
    All my images in LR are basically dead. I can see them, but I cant work on them. Its as though LR5 is dead on my PC.
    I use NEF too, some of them have asked me to change the file extension to a DNG. I have yet to try it, coz for the past 2hr, I have failed to 'Back up' my da** LR catalog.
    I wish that you solve your issue soon.

  • Cr2 files will not open in cs6

    I am running os10.6.8 and recently upgraged to cs6 from cs5. I have checked for software updates and my version is current. when I (attempt) to view in bridge or try and open cr2 files in the latest photoshop it will not allow. I can only see the cr2 icon but no image. HOWEVER -  I can view/open the files in my previous photoshop version (5) with no problem. I have seen reference to 'patches' without explanation as to how/when those are needed or is this the same as a latest software update? if so, patches sounds alot like a jankey duct tape and twine solution - just friken use the word SOFTWARE UPDATE - I think that is pretty clear.
    Secondary question - I did a 30 minute search on this discussion board and found nothing. I don't understand how that can be, as I am sure this is a common problem.
    stanks!

    FYI, Camera Raw versions and supported camera makes/models are listed here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Canon 5D MkIII was first supported in Camera Raw 4.1 *.
    * My error (as correctly pointed out by Noel in post #6): Camera Raw 7.1 (Lightroom 4.1)
    (@Noel: no confusion on the 5D Mk III (it's my dream camera, one day) - just quoted the wrong column on the supported cameras page :-)

  • DNG converted files will not open in Photoshop CS

    I'm attempting to use DNG converter on a RAW file from a Canon G9 camera. This camera was recently added to the list of cameras supported by Adobe Camera Raw. I'm trying to avoid spending 200 bucks to update PS CS to CS3. Additionally, my Mac is running OS 10.4.11. I understand that this OS will not run PS CS3. What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG. The camera raw feature of CS does open the raw files of a much older Canon G3 that I own. Ideas, anyone?

    As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
    See the detailed instructions on the download page.
    >What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
    Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
    No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

  • CR2 files will not open in CS4 or Bridge.

    I can not open CR2 file in CS4 or Bridge. The CR2 images show in the preview window when I click the "open" button under "file". When I select the image to open I get "Unable to complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I have uninstalled and re-installed the sotware, installed all the updates and get the same results. Any sugestions?

    From which Canon camera model exactly?
    The CR2 file is probably from a newer camera and probably requires Camera Raw 6 or higher.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 5.7
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    You either have to upgrade Photoshop to version CS6 or higher
    Or convert the CR2 file to DNG using the free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in CS4.

  • .nef files will not open in photoshop

    From Lightroom 5.7.1, I can not open .nef files into photoshop. I get an error message:  The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched.  Photoshop does launch and open but file does not.

  • .aep files will not open with AE CS6

    All my After Effects projects show as opening with Acrobat and I cannot change them to open with After Effects, and these were created with  AE CS6.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Sean

    Ok simple easy idiot proof method. Go to
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\Support Files
    Rename AfterFX.exe to AfterFX.exe.org or anything will do to make it a non.exe file. Then click on any .aep file. Windoze will say can't find AE CS5.5 and it will then allow go to the dialog window where you can change it to open with AE CS6. Check the always open with this app box and you're done. Go back and rename the changed CS5.5 file to AfterFX.exe and you're back to normal with all future .aep files to open in CS6.
    Same process with any version of AfterFX.exe Windoze may have locked you in to.

  • Nikon NEF Files will not Open in Photoshop CS2

    In OS Leopard w/Aperture 2, there was never a problem opening RAW .NEF Files.
    Now with Snow Leopard and Aperture 3...I get a message that the format is unrecognizable.
    My system and PS2 are fully updated to current versions.
    Thank in advance for any help.

    Ernie,
    You are correct in the RAW decoding engine used in Camera Raw (would be version 3.x in the CS2).
    As you know, Adobe Camera Raw is included with each new release of Photoshop since CS came about. However, they generally only update the current version of ACR for new camera models.
    The work-around (Adobe solution) for using older versions of ACR / PS is to convert the RAW files to DNG files using their free Adobe DNG converter, which allows compatibility for newer camera models (same solution offered to many with new unsupported cameras in Aperture).
    Not sure whether this is the problem for the OP though, as the opening sentence indicates successful use with AP2 and 10.5?
    Note - not sure what Adobe will do overall with Lightroom updates as they have been offering those at the same time as the ACR updates. LR3 and CS5 should clear some of this up.
