Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit. LR says there are no other updates to install. Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen. I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in. It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly. What am I missing? All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

Can't import RAW files from Canon Rebel Xsi (450d)

I have to use an Adobe Camera Raw program to convert to DNG files and then import into iPhoto 08'. Not sure if I like DNG file and if there is any loss from converting. JPGS work fine. Love the Camera, shoots great photos. Does anyone know if Apple or another program that will convert into a Raw format from the Canon that iPhoto will take? Or will I just have to wait for a driver? I can import directly into Photoshop CS3 just fine.

That camera is so new that you're just going to have to wait for RAW support. Your option, in the meantime, is to use the Camera Raw conversion.

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.

1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694

Aperture 3.0 not importing RAW files from Canon T1i

I have recently upgraded to Aperture 3.0. I shoot with Canon T1i in RAW+JPG file size. When importing files from Canon T1i for the first time to Aperture 3.0, I found that all files imported as jpg not RAW. How do I get the RAW files? Help!!!
Anjali

It does support Canon T1i RAW mode. In the "Import Settings", there's a section for "RAW+JPEG Pairs". If you don't see this, click the "Import Settings" pulldown menu and select it.
In the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" section, there's a pulldown menu to allow you to select "Both (RAW as Master)"
It'll use the JPEG as the "Preview" image, but it will use the RAW as the master for all adjustments you want to perform.
Prior to the import, you should see both the JPEG and RAW (.CR2) files. AFTER the import, you should only see the RAW in your project (it has the JPEG... but it wont normally display it because it knows the RAW is the master.) After the import, select any photo in your project, then click the "metadata" tab on the left. At the top it should give you the camera, lens, exposure info, etc. and you should see the "RAW" icon.

Can't import RAW files from a Canon EOS 450D

Hi there, I have a number of photos that I have taken in RAW & JPeg. The Jpeg are importing fine into Aperture, but the RAW files are just coming in as completely black images. Is there an option I need to select to get these in properly. Thanks in advance

Have you tried Digital Photo Professional? I found with my XS (1000D) that the RAWS from RAW+JPEG simply do not work, even in DPP. The solution was to use RAW only.

Problems importing RAW files from Canon 5D

My Lightroom 4.0 cannot read my RAW (CR.) files from my Canon 5D Mk1 . My MACbook can 'see ' them through Lightroom when I connect the camera but when I click import I get a message saying it cannot read the files (889)?

Can you please quote the error message exactly? Error messages that contain "cannot read" often mean that the permissions on the destination folder (where the RAW files are supposed to go to on your hard drive) are not set to WRITE permission. Please check.
Also, are you sure its a "Canon 5D Mk1"? Is that a typo? This list of supported cameras doesn't list that camera

How can I import raw files from nikon d810 to elements 12

How ca raw files be imported into elements from a nikon d810

If the images are in iPhoto for iOS use the Share to iTunes feature. Then connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes, select your iPad in the left column of iTunes and in the right column select General. Ten scroll down to find the File Sharing area and select iPhoto. You will see a pane where your photos are listed and you can copy them to your computer. I'm not completely sure the copies will be RAW files but at least you have saved a version of the photos.
I use my iPad to review, display and post photos but I use my computer to actually process RAW files. While I often connect my camera to my iPad to transfer photos I never delete them from the card and ill eventually copy them to more than one hard drive.

Lightroom 2 Can't Read RAW Files from Canon 6D

I bought a new Canon 6D in December. I am currently editing in Lightroom 2. However, Lightroom 2 does not seem to be capable of reading my RAW files. I guess I need to upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom? If so, will the new version incorporate my existing images from Lightroom 2?

For the record, the Canon 6D was first supported in Lightroom 4.3 (and later versions but not earlier ones).

Can't open RAW files from Canon 70d in Elements 11. Is there an update?

I have a new Canon EOS 70D but my Elements 11 won't open RAW files. Is there an update i can download?

You need to upgrade to PSE12. Alternatively, 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) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

CANNOT import RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2

My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~

Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

Cataloging Archive Drives And Can Not Import RAW files from Kodak DCS Pro

Tried with bridge and photoshop and they will not open DCR file
How can I convert this file to a DNG...do I need to go old school and download a older version of camera RAW or go to an old MAC te a os that supports Kodak's DCS host software

There is a separate DNG converter tool from Adobe, whichnyouncan download as freeware.
No idea though if this does support your special raw format.
This is often used to help people with LR3 but newer cameras, which are supported in LR4.x only.
Going for an older camera raw version will not solve anything, since older formats are always readable by newer versions (provided the file is uncorrupted).
