Recovered CR2 files won't open with CS3

Hey, I need help with this!
I worked in a photoshoot with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and SD memory; then I had troubles trying to download them because the memory wouldn't let me do it, so I used the 'PC Inspector Smart Recovery' and I recovered all my CR2 files indeed. BUT! some of them won't open with Photoshop CS3, most of them do, but there's just some others that won't open and I really need to get this job done
My camera files always worked perfectly with photoshop CS3, plugins are installed, I really don't know what went wrong.

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded CR2 files from my camera to my computer and CS3 Bridge will not recognize the files, allow me to open in Camera Raw or open in CS3 Photoshop. I also stuck the same memory card in a Lexar mem card reader and attempted to download to my Mac in CS4 Bridge and that version of Photoshop and Bridge won't recognize the files either, however the CR2 files do appear, where I can view the thumbnails, in iPhoto. All original files are still on the memory cards (4 cards worth of wedding photos!). I've downloaded Camera Raw updates for both cs3 and cs4 on my windows pc and my mac and still no luck. I'm at my witts end! Help!

.CR2 files won't open in CS3 on a new WIN7 'puter

I just got a new 'puter with WIN7 installed. I installed CS3 and updated ACR to 4.6, (removed the old .8bi, (or whatever it was), file first). I am shooting a Canon 40D BTW...
I still can't open .CR2 files - I ge something like: "could not complete your request as it is not the right kind of document". They will not open in Bridge or CS3.
My discussion with tech support left me with "Bridge can't open .CR2 files..."
My next step, unless someone here can offer something easier/better, is to uninstall CS3 and reinstall.
Thanx,
Ron

Do you see Camera Raw listed correctly in Photoshop > Help > About Plug-in?
Don't re-install until you've tried resetting all three sets of preferences and purged the Bridge cache.

.CR2 files won't open with Elements 9 plug in

I get the following error message when I try to open .CR2 files: "Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
I'm using PSE 9.0.3 with Camera Raw 6.5 plug-in installed on Win7 32bit PC. The photos were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i which is on the compatibility list. The camera was just purchased in January and this is the first time I've tried to open RAW. I used the update inside Elements to make sure I had the most recent version of Elements and the plug-in. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

The 6.4.1 installer download seems to be the correct one. I was asking about the 6.5 installer, since that is the one that seems to be in place when you get the error message, whether it was the PS version and somehow PSE knows.
After your 6.4.1 install fails you might run the Adobe Support Analyzer to see if it finds any troubles:
http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/
You can try to search your entire hard-drive for Camera Raw.8bi and find all such files to see if they are all the same size and date or if some are older or newer, and post what you find, where.
Some of these files may be under hidden folders so you may need to go into your Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View tab and enable Show hidden files folder a drives.

PDF file won't open with double click

Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!

Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Cannon Rebel XS EOS CR2 files won't open in CS6

My photoshop is completely up to date, my RAW plug-in is up to date, and I even attempted to download the DNG converter all to no avail. No matter what I try my CR2 images won't open in anything. My camera is listed as one of the supported cameras. I've tried everything I could find on the forums and on other searches but still cannot get my files to open in Photoshop. The worst part is that they were opening last week prior to my updating. Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to get this solved?

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

.CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning. I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D. My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe. The WinZip was about $30. Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu. I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version. I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save. I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder. At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in.
After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine. I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
Hope this helps.

cr2 files won't open I have PS CC and the latest CR update available.
I have posted a file on DropBox at: Dropbox - _MG_7302.CR2
Can anyone open it with DNG converter or Photoshop?
Neither of them work on mine.

"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.

CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS2

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and my Photoshop CS2 software won't open these images. CR2 is listed in the Raw file format but selecting Raw doesn't open them. I have downloaded the latest Raw update. I am using windows. Can anyone help me??? Many thanks, Patricia

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

CR2 files won't open

I have CS3 on Windows 7, and a canon 6d. I cannot open my CR2 files. Every time I try it says that it can't open because it's not the right type of document. Please help. I fear that I will need to buy a newer version of photoshop, but it would shock me if I couldn't just update it somehow. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunatly photoshop cs3 can't use the camera raw plugin required for the canon 6D camera raw files.
(requires camera raw 7.3 and photoshop cs3 only can go to camera raw 4.6)
Besides upgrading to photoshop cs6 you could use the 7.3 DNG Converter to convert your 6d files to dng copies which photoshop cs3 should open
or consider lightroom, which is cheaper than photoshop cs6.
7.3 DNG Converter:

Recovered .psd file won't open

I accidentally deleted some files (all different formats including .psd), I managed to get these files back using Disk Drill but unfortunately when I try to open the .psd files I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." This is pretty weird because I created the files using this version, I have also tried opening them in different versions of Photoshop and none can open them.
Any ideas? These are important files for work so any help is much appreciated

PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.

When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes. The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

CS2 files won't open with double clicking

Not sure what's going on here but my InDesign CS2 files don't see the InDesign application as the default. I have right-clicked and gone to "Open with ..." but get this, InDesign CS2 isn't in the application list.
OK, so I Browse to the application - no problems there, but when I select InDesign.exe and click "OK" .... it still doesn't appear in the list.
The only thing I have done recently is uninstall our old version of InDesign CS which was no longer being used.
Any ideas ? I'm stumped.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike - I ran a registry cleanup as you suggest - found a few problems as well ! However, no joy with the file association. InDesign still doesn't appear in the options list and when I browse to:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe
and select InDesign.exe, the application still doesn't appear in the list !
Any other ideas ?
