Can't open Canon Cr2 file in Photoshop CS6

I purscahed PShop CS6 Upgrade a few days ago as an upgrade for the full CS4 Extended (which was upgraded to CS5 last year).  I installed CS6 as an upgrade to the installed and registered CS5. 
Neither Bridge CS6 nor Photoshop CS6 will read Canon Cr2 raw files, and the "About Photoshop" splash screen indicates my purchased CS6 is a Beta version. 
What has gone wrong?  Should I uninstall CS5 and CS6, reinstall CS4 and then apply the CS6 upgrade to CS4?
Thanks

Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply.  My reply is a bit delayed from time zones - I
live in Australia & had to go out to do some work.
My CS6 upgrade was bought from the Adobe Store Australia on May 10.     
Order number is:  AD003318323AU
The downloadsI got on May 10 seemed to cause the problem.  I had trouble
with the Akamai option but used a second option to get CS6 in 2 files -
the small exe and the big zipped file.  The small exe wouldn't unzip the
main file so I unzipped it manually and installed from that, and somehow
or other I finished up with the beta version.  I'd never installed the
beta version before this, but the "About Photoshop" splash screen made
it obvious that I had it then.
When I got home a while ago I ran the Adobe download process again and
this time it worked, and file sizes and date last modified etc were
different in today's download.  I deactivated the first CS6, uninstalled
it, ran Adobe Creative Suite Cleanser Tool and reinstalled from todays
downloaded files.  My new CS6 is the correct & current version.
Adobe will probably have another confused customer somewhere who did
what I did at about the same time and got the beta version instead of
the real program.
The CR2 files I couldn't open were from a Canon G1X.  My Canon 5D Mk2
files opened properly.
Thanks again

  • Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

    i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

  • I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

    Hi,
    I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
    Nitin

    For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

  • 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.

  • Can't open ABR brush file in Photoshop CS6. Any solutions.

    Hello,
    I downloaded a set of brushes as an ABR file, pasted it into the 'brush' folder in the 'presets' folder, but when I try to load my brushes I can't see any ABR files in my brushes folder.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I'd be so grateful if anyone can help.

    If you are using Windows, did you place them in the 32 bit Program Files (x86) folder or the 64 bit Program Files folder?
    Place them in here
    C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Brushes
    so both versions can see them.

  • I can't open my CR2 files in Photoshop CS5

    I have a Canon and this silly CR2 is really confusing me! Going from an Olympus to this is a TOTALLY different ballpark.
    For those of you to roll your eyes-I have looked through other discussions about this and I can't figure the problem out myself. So please help me if you will! I have checked the Camera RAW setting and I'm certain it's correct. Maybe I'm just missing something else?! Please help! I don't want to convert them all to TIFFs.....

    I thought I looked at the list yesterday and it had mine listed. I have a Canon 70D.
    Yes, it's listed and was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.2.
    Now do the second step by seeing which version of ACR is compatible with which version of Photoshop.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    You'll see that Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with ACR 6.0 through 6.7. In other words CS5 will never be able to open Raw files from the 70D (released July 2013) - or any other brand new camera whether Canon or Nikon.
    So you need CS6 or Photoshop CC to open Raw files from the 70D. Or from any other brand new Canon or Nikon.
    This is not a Canon problem. It's a CS5 is out of of date problem and would apply regardless of camera manufacturer. If cameras saved in DNG format, you could still use CS5.
    DNG?! Is that similar to RAW?
    Yes.
    Raw files are proprietary and are specific to camera makes and models.
    DNGs conform to open standards. Adobe created the DNG format to avoid the very problem you're facing now. However the camera manufacturers prefer to stick to their proprietary Raw formats thus forcing Adobe and its customers into this never ending update and upgrade cycle with Camera Raw.

  • Opening Canon CR2 files in CS3 on a Mac

    What Camera Raw plug-in do I need to open Canon CR2 files in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac?
    -Please send download link and installation instructions.
    Thanks

    Martha,
    You have not provided any information about how you updated to ACR 4.3 or details about your setup, whether you have purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge, trashed Photoshop and/or preferences, Repaired Permissions, or performed any other maintenance, nor what error message you get or what happens when you try opening your images, nor any information as to the exact version of Photoshop you are running (10.0.1?) as well as the OS (14.0.11 or 10.5.7?).  You really need to post in the Camera Raw forum so that you can browse existing threads and so we can point you to relevant posts.
    Provided the files themselves are not damaged or corrupted, the most common problems are installing the ACR plug-in in the wrong place and not removing the obsolete ACR plug-in that is originally installed by default with Photoshop.
    If you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in > Camera Raw…, you should see only one instance of Camera Raw and it should be 4.6 when you select that menu item.
    If you have any other question, please post in the Camera Raw forum, not here.  A discussion of this nature should be over there, where it can benefit other Camera Raw users, not just you.

  • I have a Canon 5D Mk lll/Photoshop & Bridge CS6/Camera Raw 7.1 and I still can't open the CR2 files

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

    That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
    Peace,
    Charles Fennen

    Hi ssprengel,
    to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
    I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
    The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
    Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
    Thank you.

  • How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?

    How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
    I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
    I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
    How can I do it from my cs6 version?
    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
    All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

  • Help! I can't open canon raw files .CR2 with PSE 7.0 after installing plug in.

    I have a Canon rebel EOS T1i camera and have been shooting in RAW (.CR2) format.  I have tried installing the latest ACR plug-in and when I try to open the .CR2 file I get an error message stating that it is unrecognizable.  It is very frustrating and I hope someone can help me with this issue.  Thanks!

    You need to make sure you have the latest version of ACR which is version 5.6. Some of the Adobe links are not what they seem and lead to earlier versions. Use the download for PSE8; it will work with PSE7.
