Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

Hi Folks,
I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Doug...

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm1:2.8 USM)
Many thanks!

Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
Thanks!

Unable to open Canon T4i camera raw files in PSE10

I have a new Canont41 and I can't sign on to elements org
Message title was edited by: Brett N

The t4i is supplied with Canon's DPP RAW editor. Use that to set up your tonality and other structure including adjustment of chromatic abberation under the tool palette lens tab tuning section. I recommend you do not use the unsharp masking in the sharpening section of DPP in the RAW or RGB tab. Do USM in PSE if desired after final sizing/cropping/resoluton modifications. Other settings in the RGB and other tabs will be applied when you Convert and save as a 16 bit or 8 bit non-lossy .tif file for editing in PSE 10. Many tools in PSE 10 only work with 8 bit files anyway so I recommend you choose that option.
From the product page for the 4ti select drivers and software, enter your operating system, then version, then expand the software section. DPP 3.11.31 is the latest version which includes the new lens features. You need to have your version of DPP that came with the camera installed first from the CD, then run the downloaded update file.
Adobe limits the functions of its ACR RAW module anyway in PSE so using DPP should get you more features plus it recognizes Canon's proprietary settings in the "recipe" data embedded in the Canon RAW file that ACR or the DNG converter can miss. ACR uses Adobe's profiles for initial editing while DPP uses the data from the camera for initial setup. You chose that data in the various camera setup menus such as picture style, color space, etc., which can be modified in its embedded "recipe" and should be picked up in PSE.
A reminder that in RAW editing is is the embedded recipe data that is modified in DPP so the RAW pixels are not modified for most functions and they are modified in the export file only.

How to open Canon Rebel SL1 Raw files in Photoshop CS 5.5? [was: HI]

Hi! have the adobe creative suite 5.5: Master collection and I own a Canon EOS rebel SL1. I downloaded the camera raw plugin but it won'tl et me take my photos into photoshop. Its says my camera is not supported but on the camera list it is. I need to get my pictures edited so any help would be much appreciated!!!

The Rebel SL1 is supported by Camera Raw 7.4 and higher. I believe CS 5.5 uses Camera Raw version 6 and therefore does not support the SL1. Convert your raw files to DNG with the DNG converter found here:

Cannot open Canon Rebel XT raw files in Photoshop CS

Get the following error message:
"Could not complete your request because this version of Photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module."
I have updated to the 2.4 camera raw plugin and placed it in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\File Formats. When I go into CS to help->about plugin -> there are two camera raws that show up. The first is labeled 3.7 (2007) and the other is labeld 2.4 (2005). Not sure where the 3.7 version is coming from, but also not sure if it matters.
What do I need to do to get CS to enable the reading of the Digital Rebel XT raw files?
Thanks!
Gary

Thanks, Rob.
I download the images via a usb cord -- simply going into C3, clicking on "Import." The software recognizes my camera, but the message I get is: "Although RAW or animated images exist in the camera, this software only displays JPEG images." C3 then proceeds to download the JPEG images but not the RAW images.
I should point out that I am using a trial version. I have been considering purchasing C3, with being able to work in raw format one of the primary reasons for doing so. Before purchasing, I decided to download the trial version for 30 days. Is it possible that the trial version does not have all of the same capacity -- including RAW editing -- that the regular version does? I was under the impression it was the full Photoshop C3 version.

Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages: Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog. File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
again.

Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the
S100V)
In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates
Then install amera raw 6.7

I just upgraded from LR 3.6 to 4, I can't get 4 to open canon mark iii raw files.? Also, does CS5 not read Canon 5D Mark iii files either? thanks

For Cs 5, please use the latest version of Camera raw. Cannon 5D Mark III is supported on Camera raw 6.7. Update the software or download install the camera raw 6.7 from the Adobe Website.
Lightroom 4, please wait for the next update of camera raw for the support of Cannon 5D Mark III. You may try using the beta version of Camera raw 7.1 available on Adobe labs.

Corrupt/Non Viewable Canon Xs .CR2 Raw files

Hi All,
I am having issues with my importing/viewing my Canon Xs .CR2 Raw files. I import them into Aperture and they do not show up correctly. I get either a black or a green and magenta static with lines for an image. I am currently running both the latest Aperture Version (3.1.1) and Digital Camera RAW (3.5.0). I have been searching for three days and cannot find a solution to this problem. I have found a few other people having issues as well. Here are some snippets/links from/to these posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2667652&start=0&tstart=0
“The latest Aperture 3.1.1 update breaks Canon's "Medium RAW" compatibility; Aperture used to be able to read the "Medium RAW" CR2 files before this update, but not anymore. Also, updating to the latest "Digital Camera RAW 3.5.0" does not solve the issue.”
If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

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.

Canon 5D CR2 RAW Files Have Visible Artifacts

There's a digital dithering pattern that's clearly visible on CR2 RAW files even with no adjustments in Aperture. Here are two example screenshots from Photoshop. The first is an 800 ISO image and the second is a 50 ISO image. I shoot RAW + JPEG.
In the first, the JPEG from the camera, zoomed at 400% (top) and the equivalent JPG export at quality "12" (lossless) from the RAW image in Aperture with no adjustments (bottom). This is just the RAW, exported to JPEG at lossless 8 bit, same area at 400%. I experimented with 16-bit TIFF and PSD exports as well and the dithering pattern is the same:
http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureJPGBug.jpg
In the second, I took the original RAW, converted it to DNG format (I have to in order to use Adobe Camera Raw on CS 1) and imported into Photoshop using ACR "camera default" settings. I show that image at 12.5% at the very top and a detail in a window at 400% in the middle of the stack. The bottom image was created by bringing the RAW into Aperture and, without making any adjustments, exporting it as a 16-bit Photoshop file.
I picked the blue area because it's easy to see the dithering pattern in a solid color. But it's there across the image.
This is not just a high ISO or highly adjusted image problem. This is an EVERY image problem, at least with Canon 5D CR2 files.
http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureExport_Bug02.jpg
I've taken the same file, processed it using Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop, exported it as a 16-bit PSD file and brought that into Aperture. Exports from that file are flawless. So I conclude that this has to do with the way that the OS is converting RAWs from the Canon 5D (or CR2s generally).
Can this be a priority to fix? If Aperture can't export high quality images, its other truly admirable features will be for naught.

Ian wrote a really good description of what RAW files are:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1303439&#1303439
Since the RAW file is encoding the chip information, and the two 1D2 and 1Ds2 cameras use different chips (they do, don't they?), then it's conceivable that they could have different results in Aperture.
On the other hand, I thought that CR2 files had the same underlying file structure, so it's strange that they encode differently.
Might it be possible to take some kind of test image with both cameras that is basically identical and has some areas that are dark? It would be interesting to compile a list of those cameras that have conversion issues and those that don't. I know the Canon 5D conversion is not so good, and that there's an Olympus problem (although I don't remember the camera). On the other hand, there are a number of Nikon users who seem pretty pleased with their conversions.

Can't view CR2 raw files in Bridge CS6 from Apple laptop pro - why?

I've got Adobe Bridge CS6 installed on both my desktop and laptop pro. For some reason I am not able to view the CR2 raw files on the laptop pro. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks!!

"CR2" files is meaningless. You need to specify the exact Canon camera model that generated them. There are many flavors of CR2 raw files.

Can't open Canon Rebel T5i raw file in elements 10

I am trying to open a raw file (CR2) in my Elements 10 program, but I keep getting error messages that it's the "wrong type of file".
I've looked around & downloaded the plug-in that was supposed to fix that, but it still isn't working.
What am I missing??
PS - I am also using Windows 7, the camera raw plug in version is 6.7.0.339, and my camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T5i
*edited to add*
so I just followed this link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5316&fileID=4946
because it looked like my camera raw plug in needed updating, but I got an installation error code: U44M2P7

my camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T5i
The Rebel T5i was first supported by Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Elements 11 and later
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Unfortunately Elements 10 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7. It's not compatible with Camera Raw 7.4 so it'll never be able to open T5i Raw files.
If you want to open T5i Raw files in Elements, you'll have to upgrade to Elements 12.
Alternatively, if you want to stick with Elements 10, you can download the free DNG converter from Adobe, convert all T5i Raw files to DNGs. Then open the DNGs in Elements 10.
