Can Photoshop CS4 open a .CR2 file ext.?

I recently had a photoshoot done. the images are on a .CR2 ext. I was advised that I would be able to open themup in Photoshop CS4 but it's not working.  Any advice???

CR2 is a generic extension for all Canon raw files.
They will open (indirectly) in CS4 using the ACR plug-in.
You need to check the camera model and tell us – not all CR2 files are the same.

  • Photoshop CS4 stopped reading CR2 files.  Update failed.

    My Photoshop CS4 quit reading CR2 files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  Photoshop update with new raw version failed.  Please advise.
    And many thanks!

    This screen shot shows the correct path to the appropriate folder in CS4 on the Mac, which is not called "ACR folder" (that must be a Windows thing).
    The version of ACR in the image is older (5.2, obsolete by now), because it's a screen shot from many moons ago.
    The important thing is to start the path in the ROOT LEVEL Library, not your username or home Library:

  • Can Illustrator CS4 open Illustrator CS6 files? or other work around way to open CS6 files?

    Can Illustrator CS4 open files created in CS6? or can CS6 files be converted to be opened in CS4? like CS6 InDesign can be saved in IDML files to be opened in previous versions. Or if there is any other work around ways, like save CS6 files in PDFs/eps/... so the files can be opened in CS4 and work from there. Thank you.

    Open in CS6 , file >> Save As >> Version >> CS4.

    Cannon 6D requires CS6 with ACR 7.3.  You either have to upgrade or convert to DNG files.

    I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

    Make sure you have the right version...

  • I can't open canon .CR2 files in Adope camera raw in CS3

    When i want to open my .CR2 file from my Canon camera 40D into bridge or photoshop CS3 it does not open it and it can't recognize the file in some way.  My computer is working with windows vista.  I really need help as i dont know why it is not doing it.  Thanks

    Distilling the Tech Note down, essentially you can't open .CR2 files in CS3.  I think CS4 is the first version that has .CR2 compatibility.  One option that doesn't involve upgrading to CS4 is to download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your .CR2 files to .dng.  Then you can open them in CS3.
    No, that isn't right.  The Canon 40D was supported in at least the last version of Camera Raw for CS3.  There are a few things you need to verify.
    1.  In Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw in the list.  It will tell you what version you have installed.  You should have Camera Raw 4.6 listed, and it should only be listed once.  If there are additional listings then you have a problem.  Camera Raw will now work.
    2.  Get the download instructions from the Adobe download website and make sure Camera Raw is installed in the right folder.  It must be that specific folder, and there can be no other versions of Camera Raw in the Adobe file structure.
    3.  Are you able to see your raw images in Bridge?  If not, then there is something wrong with your installation.
    Check these things out and make sure everything is set up properly.  Then maybe we can help you further.

  • How do I open a CR2 file using CS3 photoshop

    how do I open a CR2 file in CS3

    You cannot open a raw file from that camera  directly in CS3 and never will be able to.  That camera model was supported for the first time in Camera Raw 5.2, which requires CS4 to run.
    You need to convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files first.  Download, install and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1, which is not tied to any version of Photoshop at all,

  • How to open a cr2 file in photoshop

    how to open a cr2 file in photoshop if I do not have Lightroom?

    Photoshop menu File>Open select the CR2 file.  If you have a resent canon you may need CS6 or newer only they support ACR 8.6 beta with RAW support for the latest cameras. If you have an older version of Photoshop you may need to create Adobe DNG file for you CS2 file using Adobe DNG converter and process the DNG files with you Photoshop versions older ACR support.

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • Can Indesign CS4 open CS2 files?

    Simple question, can Indesign CS4 opeen old CS2 files? Someone told me it can't. If that's true it's a disaster.

    [Jongware] - I know that, I'm not asking about CS2 opening CS4 but vice versa.
    BobLevine - that's what I'm asking. I hope you're right, thanks!
    It's incredibly important to me because time has come to upgrade my computer, and I have CS2 on it, but I've heard Windows 7 doesn't want to run CS2 at all, so if I upgrade to Win7 I'll have to upgrade the CS as well. And then someone told me ID4 can't open ID2 files anymore. That would render all my older work unusable.

  • I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
    Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
    All help is welcome,
    Thanks

    No, the older versions are not free.  If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe.  You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.
