Trying to Open Raw file in Photoshop Elements 4

Does anybody have any ideas how I can open a RAW file from a cannon G10 camera in Photoshop elements 4.0?  The file is coming out of the camera as *.CR2.  I am working on a MAC with OS 10.5.7. 
When I try to open a CR2 file in PE 4.0 it says it can not complete my request because photoshop elements does not recognize this file type.
I have also tried to run the file through the dng converter version 5.3 and when I try to open it with PE 4.0 it gives the same message above.
Any ideas of how to get this open and take advantage of the RAW format would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

There is no PSE 7 for mac. However, you may be able to find a version of the Adobe raw converter that will work in PSE 4 that will open your G10 files. I would start with the latest version (5.3) and keep working backwards till you find the latest version that will work in PSE 4. Camera raw updates for PSE mac are here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
although the recent updates are listed for PSE 6 only, it's often possible with PSE to use updates that are supposedly too recent for your version of PSE, especially with PSE/Mac.

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

  • Unable to open RAW files in Photoshop elements 5.0

    I am using Windows XP, camera is Nikon D80. When I try to download NEF files I receive an error that reads files did not transfer. Reason given reads incompatible format. I just downloaded program today and not really sure what I have done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

    I have spoken to this gentleman again and I suspect his trouble has come from the copy of Elements 5 that he bought over the Internet. I think it was an incomplete copy. It doesn't seem to have included Bridge. Without the browser I doubt he would be able to see his RAW images.
    As it stands, when he double-clicks on a RAW image it opens in the RAW converter but he doesn't have the "Open with Bridge" option in the File menu. Consequently, he has no way to see thumbnails of his RAW images and he can't make wise decisions on which ones he wants to work on.
    I guess it goes without saying that if you get an especially great price on the Internet, something is wrong!

  • 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.

  • Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

    When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
    Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
    The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
    I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
    I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

    Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.

    I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

    Is it possible that the creator of the files set a password? That's usually the only time PSE asks for one, although you may be able to open the file just fine in a pdf program that isn't password-aware.
