Can't convert CR2 files with DNG converter

After buying the Canon T2i, I realized that the files (CR2) won't open in PS.  I did my research and found that the dng converter was the thing I need.  Unfortunately, the converter won't recognize and convert the CR2 files that I try to convert.
I am guessing I will probably get a reply telling me I should have done my research before I bought the camera (as I have seen in other forums), but I am hoping for a more productive (and less offensive) answer.  
Thanks!

I see a lot of answers speaking about having the most up to date version of the Camera RAW Plug-in. I have a similar issue with my .CR2 files... I cannot open them in Camera RAW because it tells me that my camera model or make is not supported by the Plug-in, and so I was directed by other forums to just try converting the .CR2 files to .DNG. I already had the Adobe DNG Converter (version 6.5 I believe), so I tried this. It too told me that my files or camera make were not supported. However, I have always been able to successfully both open my .CR2 files AND convert them to .DNG. I had not updated anything on my camera nor on my Adobe programs and for some reason this last attempt to open RAW files failed me... I have no idea what change would have led to it. Luckily I shopt in both RAW and Large JPG but I certainly don't want to rely on my JPGs of course... Any idea why this problem might have arisen now if it had always worked easily in the past?
Thanks!

  • I can't convert .cr2 canon raw files with DNG converter.

    I have a Canon 1000D, and im trying to open RAW files to edit in cs4. Everytime i open it, photoshop says that it doesnt recognise this type of file, but i open my friends RAW file (450D) and it can read it. I have also downloaded DNG converter, and it comes up with this message (first image) but my folder has .cr2 files......im really lost
    I have also asked for help on the photoshop forum, but they referred me here...
    Thanks

    That file is only 2.7 megabytes.  Raw files are usually larger.  That likely means it's truncated (cut off prematurely).
    You haven't selected one of the modes called sRAW (Small Raw) have you?

  • Converting Canon S90 CR2 files with DNG 5.6

    I have converted files from my S90 with the latest version of DNG Converter. When I compare the DNG file to the original CR2 file, there is a marked increase in saturation, and also more noise. Am I doing something wrong with the conversion? Help please. I am using Adobe RAW 4.6 with Photoshop CS3. Comparative files can be viewed at http://dobbino.blogspot.com/2009/11/dng-converter-canon-s90-raw-files.html

    The 5.6 Trial versions can be found here

  • How can I safely convert CR2 files to DNG after Import from catalog

    Images on my laptop from 2 photoshoots in the studio today were EXPORTED from laptop as catlog and imported to desktop as catalog.
    I imported without moving the files anywhere since I was instructed to move that folder to its final resting place.
    The 125 images were importred into LR4 but I see they are still CR2 files.
    Is there a way to convert these guys to DNG inplace? or is it safe to re-import these. I don't want the side car gig.

    Convert to DNG (Library Menu) - do not re-import.

  • I can't open most files from DNG Converter 5.5b (Olympus E-P1)

    I have a bunch of E-P1 photos taken in RAW (.ORF files) and was waiting eagerly for support by ACR. I tried the DNG Converter 5.5b today and converted all my images to DNG.
    When I tried to import the DNGs in iPhoto, it imported only 32 files out of 800.
    These 32 images also have a proper icon (with the preview of the photo).
    I can't open the others with either iPhoto, QuickLook or Preview.app
    All DNGs were opened successfully with Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom once I updated ACR to 5.5b
    It seems that, for some reason, Apple apps can't open this "new breed" of DNG files.
    Does anybody have the same problem ?

    David, I'm afraid you will probably have to follow up with Apple on this
    one. (If I'm understanding your post correctly, you have no trouble using
    Adobe software to process the E-P1 files.)
    Eric
    Sorry, I updated my original post because I realized I wasn't making much
    sense !
    The DNG Converter did convert all my files to .DNG
    I can open all of them in Photoshop CS4 (or Lightroom).
    But I can only open a few of them with Preview.app, iPhoto.app or QuickLook on
    Mac OSX.
    I found out that the one I am not able to open are the photos taken with the
    kit lens (Olympus 14-42mm).
    The ones I shot with my Voigtlander 35mm 1.4 ( + adapter) were imported
    successfully in iPhoto.

  • What converter do I need to download for converting CR2 files into DNG?

    Used EOS Rebel T1i in camera raw setting. The Canon Camera Raw images will not open up because camera is not supported in Photoshop CS5 Extended, version 12.0.4 X64. Also tried to open by changing the the setting to Photoshop Raw but got a "Specified image is smaller than file" alert. When image opened, it was a grayscaled image full of noise. See below. What can I do to open these images, or to convert them?

    Your Canon EOS Rebel T1i  is supported and only requires ACR 5.4 or newer.
    See: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Since you have Photoshop CS5 you should have ACR 6.7, so either there is something wrong with your install of ACR or you are doing something wrong.
    Trying to open in PHOTOSHOP RAW is completely different than ADOBE CAMERA RAW.
    You need to use Adobe Camera Raw (ACR),
    Just forget that Photoshop Raw even exists.It does not do what you need to do to open your CR2 files.

  • Cant convert CR2 files to DNG.

    I downloaded Abobe DNG converter but then discovered that it couldn't convert the CR2 files from my canon EOS D550 to DNGs. So I downloaded the update that said it would be able to do that but it wont install. Any ideas how to get round this. Abobe wont help me cause im using creative suite 2.

    Do you mean the DNG converter won't install?  It is a freestanding independent program, so if it won't install there must be something wrong with your download.  Are you on a PC or a Mac?  What OS?  How are you trying to install the converter?  What version are you trying to install?

    I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter to my Mac OSX 10.4.11 and have tried opening RAW
    files from my Canon Powershot G12 and EOS 550D SLR and the converter will not read the files. I have learned from other posts about dropping the folder into the icon but when I do the notice comes up "cannot parse the file." Any ideas out there?

    …As to upgrading my photoshop CS4 to a newer version it would mean my firstly upgrading my OS Mac system from Tiger to Snow Leopard or newer which at the moment is not an option for financial reasons…
    Currently the upgrade to Snow Leopard (DVD in the box) is $29 US Cy from Apple:

    Contrary to what it says there, that is all you need.  You DO NOT need to upgrade to Leopard first.  You can go straight from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard for $29.
    CS4 will cease to be upgradeable towards the end of this year, perhaps as early as November of 2012.
    The superior rendering in ACR 7.1 is more than worth the cost of the upgrade.  You could even say that converting one irreplaceable raw image is worth the total cost.
    ===
    Try Easy Find first, it's totally free, although Find Any File is indeed faster.
    ===
    Finally if you still can't get DNG Converter 7.1 to launch, then download version 6.4, but nothing earlier than 6.4:

  • Is there a method of converting .cr2 files to DNG when tethered in Lightroom 5.7.1?

    don't see any setup parameters in either auto import or tethered capture ...
    is there any plugin that will do this on a watched folder?
    thanks

    No need to do all that exporting and importing. LR will allow you to convert photos to DNG in place in the Catalog. I believe it's under the Photo menu, but I'm not looking at my laptop right now. The menu choice is simply "Convert photos to DNG."

  • Can't open .CR2 files in PhotoShop CS5, Camera RAW or Adobe DNG Converter

    Are these the same exact files you've opened before that you cannot now open?
    Or are they newly copied files (camera or CF card to computer)?
    Can you not open ANY Canon 450D files, even those you find online and download?
    What I'm getting at with these questions is to try to eliminate or suspect data corruption of the files on your disk.
    Exactly what versions of the various tools do you have, specifically (don't guess - go check)?

  • Problems with converted .CR2 files to .dgn on Mac Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert .CR2 files from my Canon 70D into .dng files so that I can use them in Adobe Bridge CS5. I have been able to convert them using Adobe DNG converter 8.2 but under the file's info I see "Dimensions 0x0". I don't understand why this is happening or how to change this so that it reflects the correct size of the image. Also, I am not able to see thumbnails of the images once they have been converted, and again can't understand why.
    Can anyone suggest what I'm missing here?
    I have converted photos previously to .dng and they are visible as thumbnails on my mac and the dimensions are shown in their properties so can't understand why this is happening with this new set of photos.
    Thanks

    Are the dimensions those of the embedded preview?  Check to see what size of preview you have set in the DNG Converter options.  Perhaps it is set to None.

  • Unable to convert my canon cr2 files to DNG

    I cannot convert my caonon 1200d cr2 files for DNG on my vista machine as the latest version of adobe raw convertor will not run on my vista machine/..@

    Your CR2 files require Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 or higher and as you have discovered ACR8.4 is not compatible with older operating systems.
    ACR8.3 was the final update to raw support for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.6.
    You should have a copy of Canon DPP with your EOS utility disks. You will need to install and use that, until you get a new computer. You can convert CR2 into tiff or go straight to jpeg, using DPP.

  • Question on converting edited CR2 files to DNG

    Sorry, I cannot find a separate DNG forum. If this question is in the wrong place, please direct me to the correct forum.
    I have lots of CR2 RAW files on my computer, and I am considering converting them to DNG. Many of these RAW files have already been edited and so have a separate XMP sidecar file containing the edits in the same folder. If I convert (using the Adobe DNG converter) these edited RAW files to DNG, what is converted? The CR2 RAW file alone, so that the converted DNG file is the same as the original unedited CR2 file? If so, what happens to the orphaned XMP file? Ignored?
    My concern is that I will lose all RAW edits if I convert to DNG because the conversion process ignores the edits contained in the separate XMP file.
    Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

    So what you're saying is that the DNG conversion de-mosaics the image?  I guess that's not surprising, since for compatibility with older Photoshop versions you'd have to deliver a more or less standardized format.
    Kind of throws a big monkey wrench into claims that converting to DNG is functionally equivalent to opening raw images directly though...  I was experimenting with a "fall leaves" image last night and no matter what I tried with the 2010 process I was still able to get more detail in bright red leaves with the 2003 process.
    I suppose that says if you want maximum flexibility and control you'd better buy the Photoshop upgrades and stick to opening raw camera files directly.  A variant on the "if you want to play you have to pay" adage.
    -Noel
    P.S., Does the DNG converter read the centralized database as well as XMP files?  I personally prefer the database to the extra files.

  • Problem Converting Canon CR2 Files to DNG

    I am currently on holiday, shooting photos with my Canon 70D in raw (CR2), and I have my Macbook Air with me, with Lightroom 5.4 installed on it.  After each day's shooting, I have been putting the flash card from the camera into the laptop, and downloading the photos using Lightroom, converting the CR2 files to DNG in the process.  This was working fine until a couple of days ago when suddenly, Lightroom has decided that it can no longer do the conversion.  It displays the photos on the card, it allows me to choose the ones I want to download, and then it tells me that it cannot convert/download them because it cannot read the files.  Well, if it cannot read the files, how can it display them so that I can make my choices?  And why, after working successfully for weeks, am I suddenly getting this error message ... nothing has changed in my hardware or software in either the camera or computer.  Any and all help would be most appreciated.  Thank you!!

    Thanks very much for the answer, but I'm afraid it is not very enlightening ... at least to someone like me.  I do not understand where I would look for a write permission issue ... especially since nothing has changed (as far as I know).  Can you give me any further help?  Thanks!
