Camera Raw .CR2 file download failure from new Canon650D

I have the new model Canon650D and cannot download Camera Raw CR2 files into Photoshop Elements 10. I get a "program error" message on screen. I have tried converting to DNG files but get same error message. I have downloaded latest upgrades for Camera Raw plug-ins in Adobe Application Manager and evidently have the latest 6.7 version available. Is there a later upgrade or do I have to wait until Adobe catch up?

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Try a differnt download (7.3 the latest) if DNG did not work before.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Can't open Camera Raw (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3?

I can't seem to open Camera Raw CR2 files in Photoshop CS3, my CameraRaw plug in version says it's 4.6 - any help appreciated.

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

IPhoto '09 not importing Camera Raw (.CR2) files

Recently purchased a new Mac Pro and tried to import my Camera Raw files from a supported camera. iPhoto refuses to import (unrecognized file format) files. Does anyone know the solution? I have over 1,700 camera raw (.CR2) files I need to import.

Larry,
Cameras were Canon 20D and 50D. Until yesterday both were using the sRAW color space - switched them to Adobe RAW today. Problem was the 1,700 pictures with sRAW colorspace taken over the past few years - no issue importing into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (not surprising at it uses its own libraries), problem was only with iPhoto. I had what iPhoto reported as the latest update to Camera Raw, however when I browsed the Apple support pages I found v3.0 which I installed. That fixed the problem as it now has sRAW support for Canon cameras.
Only issue that remains is importing of DNG formatted pictures. iPhoto will not import those, which is hard to understand as it is becoming the defacto cross platform format for RAW files.
I don't recall having this issue on my older MacBook using an older version of iPhoto and older libraries...
Anyway, good news is that v3.0 fixed the problem.
Thanks.

How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
Thanks (in advance)!

I'm having trouble installing the update for camera raw CR2 file reading in photoshop CS5.

I've downloaded the update, but cannot seem to get it attached to the program, they're not getting embedded somehow. Any ideas?

You're not supposed to "embed" anything. You need to install the Camera Raw 6.7.1 plug-in strictly according to the very specific instructions for your platform, Mac or Windows, given on the download page.
Please note that later versions of Camera Raw (higher than 6.x) will not run on CS5. Make sure your specific camera model is supported in 6.7. "CR2" means nothing. Every Canon camera model generates a different flavor of CR2 files.
If your camera is one of the many newer models that was not supported in CS5, you will have to look for the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1 or 8.2RC, download it, install it, and then run it in order to convert your raw Canon files to raw DNGs you can then open in ACR 6.7 hosted by CS5.

Camera Raw .CR2

Folks. First I am not a rocket scientist or Photoshop wizard. My CS3 won't open a camera raw .CR2 file from my Canon 40 D or 5D Mark II. What is the simple solution to this obvious simple problem?

Each new camera requires an update to Adobe Camera Raw to cater for it.
With Photoshop CS3 the last update was ACR 4.6. After that, updating continued in CS4.
Looking at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html, you will see that the 40D is covered by ACR 4.2 and later, so you need to to update to ACR 4.6 if you haven't already.
For the 5D Mk II you need ACR 5.2 so you will need to update Photoshop to CS4 and ACR 5.5 or use the stand-alone DNG converter to make the files readable.
Note that although Canon raw files are all suffixed .CR2 they are not the same for each camera.

How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6

Lightroom 1.2 not importing RAW (CR2) files from 40D

Just upgraded to LR 1.2 and thought it would solve my problems but find that it doesnt appear to import CR2 files, either directly from a card reader or from a file already saved to the computer. It says files use an unsupported color mode. These were shot in RAW (not sRAW) + JPG and others were just RAW.
Do I need to change any setting in Lightroom to make it work with the new RAW settings?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ooops... Me bad. It works fine. For some reason 1.2 didnt install the first time I ran the installer. After finding that it was still 1.1, I ran the installer again and it took. Now its importing 40D files just fine.
Sorry for the false alarm.

RAW CR2 files from my Canon G11 not displaying thumbnails in SL finder. Why

I just loaded some CR2 RAW files from my Canon G11 last night. They displayed perfectly in iPhoto 09 but when I opened the folder the image files are in SL's finder I got icon placeholders which but no image icon display. I have loaded all the latest updates... Is SL no yet compatible with G11 RAW Cr2 files? Or do I not have something set up correctly as of yet?

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file: com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Import screen cannot enlarge preview thumbnail from Canon G15 raw CR2 file

Lightroom 4.3 import screen does not seem to be able to enlarge for better viewing the preview thumbnail from a Canon G15 raw CR2 file?

HI,
I do not know the answer, but I would expect, that Lr only displays the embeded jpeg preview of your raw files. And I think, that the previews are small. You can use exiftool , exiftoolgui to see what's the dimension of your previews.

Why has LR4 suddenly started to refuse to download RAW CR2 files?

Today I went to LR4 and tried to import RAW CR2 files into the program using the usual import process which is pretty automatic. I also asked that copies be saved as DNG files. No matter what I tried, I got an error message saying that the files could not be imported. I use a Canon 5D Mark III. The only difference in today's shoot was that I used and HDSC card instead of a CF card. No other obvious changes. Clearly, this is a serious concern. What amI missing?

Hi,
I too have been having trouble importing CR2s consistently using Lightroom 4.3. I use a Canon 5D Mark III with Macbook OS X 10.7.
Spoke with Canon this morning and apparently they are getting a few calls about this problem. For me, it is not a permissions issue.
I swapped cards, cords, reinstalled Lightroom and updated everything. I bought a card reader and that is the only thing that works.
Seems to be some kind of communication problem between Lightroom (4.3) and my Canon 5D M3.

PSE 7.0 - Can't open RAW .CR2 files

I know this question has been asked many times, and I'm not a novice user, but I can't get it to work. Here are the details:
Windows 7(x64)
Photoshop Elements 7.0
Camera Raw Plugin 5.6.0.148 (old camera raw .8bi file removed, I did not use the 64-bit version of the new Plugin)
Camera: Canon SX50HS (which is included in the list of supported cameras)
Nothing I've tried has eliminated the "wrong type of file" message when trying to open .cr2 files.
So, then I read that I should get the Adobe DNG converter (v7.2.0.46) and convert the files to DNG format. OK, I got the converter but it doesn't recognize the .cr2 files in the folder in which they exist. I read another post which indicated that the DNG converter only worked from the C:\ root directory. So, I put one of the .cr2 files there, and used that as the folder to "select images to convert". It began scanning my drive, and found all of the .tif files on the drive, but none of the .cr2 files. It did not convert any of the .tif files.
I am new to the use of RAW format images, but not to the concept of drivers, plugins, versions, and following installation instructions precisely and have years of professional experience in software (even more frustrating!). It seems as if there could/should be a plugin update utility that prompts for the camera make/model, verifies that it is compatible, and installs the appropriate software. I'm sure that the camera information is also embedded somewhere in the image file.
Sorry to beat this poor horse any further, but any insights would be most welcome!

The only option for you is to download this:

CC 2014 will not open 70d raw CR2 files.

I installed the new version of CC 2014 Photoshop on my PC and it will not open up my Cr2 raw files from my 70d. The former version of CC worked fine. Is anyone else running into this problem and if so, is there a fix?
Thanks.

Problem solved. By searching the forum the following soluition came up.
try even more brutal force like directly replacing existing "Camera Raw.8bi" with the content of \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245\Assets1_1.zip (from direct download archive) for x64 (rename it, backup old .8bi first) .. the same for x32 from \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-050614141453
PS: but first research your system - where do you have Camera Raw.8bi files (dates/sizes)
Thanks for your reply.
Arnold.

HELP! Cannot open Canon RAW (CR2) file in PP5.5.2 (Mac)

Hi folks.
I cannot import RAW (CR2) files (Canon 5D2) files into premiere pro 5.5.2!
I can get them into After Effects (through cameraraw) but PP does not even show them as a "supported file type"
If I drag and drop from the finder I get "unsupported file type" error
My understanding is that CR2 files are supported in CS5.5
Any ideas
MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
For the rest, everything seems to be "normal"
Thanks in Advance
Tom

To use Camera RAW, you will need to process the files through a Camera RAW converter. With the proper ACR module, PS, and Lightroom will handle that processing, as will the Canon utility. With Adobe ACR, make sure to update to a version that handles YOUR camera's RAW files - mfgrs. tweak those model to model, so keeping the ACR module current will insure that you can handle the particular Camera RAW files properly.
I agree with Stephen's rec. to NOT use JPEG, if ultimate quality is of a concern. In PS, I just process my Nikon, Panny or Canon Camera RAW files to PSD. I would assume that the Canon utility would have the option for TIFF, as my older one does - there is no option for PSD in it. Do not know about the newer Canon Camer RAW processing, but TIFF should be just fine.
Good luck,
Hunt
