Can't open .cr2 files in Bridge CS4 v.3

Been browsing for hours; can't find the right answer...
I just purchased a Canon 60D, which shoots .cr2 raw files. They won't open in Bridge, which previously opened my Canon 10D .crw raw files. What do I need to do to make the .cr2 files open?
I'd rather not install Canon's Digital Photo Professional 3.10 (came with camera) if I can find a solution/upgrade within Bridge/PSE.
Details:
MacBook OS X 10.5.8
Bridge CS4, completely updated to v. 3 with Camera Raw v. 5.7 (which are the latest updates available, I think; just updated today).
Photoshop Elements 8
Thanks in advance.

Your CR2 files from the 60D are not supported for your version of ACR.
Each vendor uses different Raw type and sadly enough they use also a different raw type for each new camera the produce. Adobe offers free upgrade for those cameras, about 3 or 4 times a year. In the past they could not get the new Raw types earlier then the consumers so often this meant you had to wait for a period before the ability in ACR was there. Today they have a better relationship and often get pre production models so the updates are already there when the new cameras arrive on the market.
However being a commercial company they don't offer those upgrades for other then the latest versions of ACR and Photoshop. Currently CS6 and CC are both getting the updates but earlier version are not upgraded any longer.
Here is a list of the cameras that are supported and the minimum ACR versions needed for the cameras:

There is another option available and that is the free Adobe DNG converter. The latest version is here:

Or if the link does not work do a search on Adobe.com your self. After the files have been converted to DNG you will be able to use them in your version of ACR.

  • I can't open .CR2 files in Photoshop CS4

    I'm unable to get the .CR2 files from my new Canon Rebel T3i to open in Photoshop CS4.  I just got this camera and I never had this problem with my old camera (Rebel Xsi).  The raw files from the Xsi will still open, but not the ones from the new camera.  Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?
    Thanks,   Jo

    Just to be perfectly accurate, that would be two options. 
    To use the free Adobe DNG converter, you would download and install the very latest version then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
    1.  Upload the .cr2 files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
    2.  Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
    3.  Convert all the .cr2 files to .dng files.
    4.  Open the .dng files into Photoshop CS4 through the Camera Raw dialog.

  • My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

    My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

    What version of Bridge and Camera Raw is your friend using?  And what camera is this from?
    Each camera must be supported specifically and older versions of Adobe products don’t get updated for newer cameras.
    Your CS6 is obviously new enough and has been updated to a new enough version of the Camera Raw plug-in but perhaps theirs is older or hasn’t been updated.
    Here is a list of cameras that Adobe supports along with the version of the Camera Raw plug-in that is needed to read them:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    For versions older than CS6, the highest CR version is +1 of the CS version—CS5 can use CR6.x but not CR 7 or 8.
    The exception is CS6 which is still be sold by Adobe so can be updated to CR8 even though it initially shipped with CR7.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • Open .ico files from Bridge CS4

    Hey all,
    I just got done reformatting my hard drive. After reinstalling my Adobe CS4 software, I can't open .ico files from Bridge -- before the hard drive reformat I COULD open .ico files from Bridge. I can open .ico files directly from Photoshop (I've got the telegraphics.com/au .ico plugin installed in Photoshop to open and save .ico files.)
    If I right-click an .ico file in Bridge and select "Open With" the only option is: COM Surrogate 6.1 (default).
    Looking at Preferences > File Type Associations, .ico file type isn't available in the file type list. Anyone know what setting or preference I need to change to open .ico files in Bridge?
    Appreciate your help,
    Brian

    Never mind... I closed Bridge by selecting File > Exit (instead of clicking the close button in the upper-right of the program window) and after restarting I'm able to open the .ico files.

  • How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

    Hi all,
    I am using premiere cs4.
    when i import .mts file in cs4 it says file format is not supported.
    could any one please tell me how can i open .mts file in premiere cs4.
    Thanks
    Murali.

    What kind of audio did the camera record?  For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4.  If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected.  This thread may help:

  • How can i open RAW files in Photoshop CS4 from Canon EOS 6D camera?

    How can i open RAW files in Photoshop CS4 from Canon EOS 6D camera?

    You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

  • Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

    I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
    Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
    I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

    Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

  • Photoshop cs4 - Can't open .psd files in Bridge

    I cannot open .psd files in Bridge, only .jpg and .tif, as far as I know.  The .psd files are flattened--no layers.  What's wrong?

    Generated in PS cs4...always starting with a .jpg, working on it, then saving as .psd.
    I open Bridge, navigate to the file I want to work on.  The round icon that is for opening files in Camera Raw is grayed out.  It IS available for .jpg and .tif files.  If I go to the File menu in the upper left, there is no option to open the .psd file in Bridge.  If I just click Open, the file will open in the default program I use for quickly viewing all photos (Irfanview).
    Thinking also about the reply from 2.rob...
    I hope I don't need to designate .psd files to always open in Photoshop in order to get this to work.  I have all photo types set to Open for quick viewing in Irfanview, which I like very much. Often I want to look at a .psd file w/o opening Photoshop, which takes a while to load.

  • Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

    I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
    I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
    I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
    The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
    In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
    Lightroom error:
    Bridge, no preview:
    Photoshop error:
    Ideas, suggestions?

    Something appears to be wrong with your files.
    Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
    This is very small for a 12 MP image.
    If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
    Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
    Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
    Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
    Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
    Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
    Have you tried repairing your permissions?
    Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
    Good Luck!

  • Will this download open CR2 files on a CS4 program from a Canon 5D Mark III?

    I know that Cs4 will not support CR2 files from a New Mark III.  I need to fix this.  With the CC, will it allow me to open the CR2 files in PS CS4?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The 5D Mark III was first supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6 and later.
    So, to answer your question, yes CS6, CC and CC 2014 can open and edit Raw files from the 5D Mark III.

  • Can't open CR2 files in PhotoShop CC. Raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. MacBook Pro OS 10.9

    I'm trying to open .CR2 files (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS) with PhotoShop CC on my Mac. When I try to open them I get an error saying the file can't be opened. The raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. Adobe's charts say I need at least "4.6,5.1" so I would assume my version should open it. What gives?

    First thing I should do is to link you to the Camera Raw forum where the members there have a far better understanding of Camera Raw problems than I do.
    If the generic advice doesn't work, it's time to bring in the specialists.   Click on that link and post your problem with the CR2 files.

  • Can't Open CR2 Files

    I've been using CS2 on my iMac for a couple of years. Just got a new computer, a MacBook Pro, and installed CS2 on the new computer.  When I try to open any photos from my Canon 50D, I get a message telling me that "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
    What?
    Since when can't PS open CR2 files? it can on my iMac.
    What the heck could have happened?

    You answered your own questions, you might just not realize it.
    As I said above "LR 2.4 will have no problem reading the D50's CR2 files, but you still won't be able 'Edit in Photoshop' without converting them to a format CS2 can read.  LR would need to convert them to TIFF."
    In short on your iMac you were using LR to convert to TIFF before editing in CS2.
    You can install LR 2.4 on your MacBook and still do that by tellign LR 2.4 on your MacBook to convert to TIFF and again edit in Photoshop CS2.
    After installing LR 2.4, in LR goto Preferences -> External Editing, set it to convert to TIFF/ProPhoto/16Bit (usually that's the default).
    It sounds like you've changed your workflow.  On your iMac you were using LR to convert prior to CS2, on you MacBook you can do the same, but you should be able to open a 50D CR2 directly the CS2 on either machine.

  • Can't open cr2 files from my 5D but can from my 20D

    i just got a new computer (windows vista) and on my old computer i could open cr2 files from both my 20d and my 5d just fine. but now on my new computer i can't open the cr2 raw files from the 5d but can from the 20d. I have photoshop cs2. I am not planning to upgrated to cs3 anytimes soon, do I just need to install a plug in? Please help.

    Kristen,
    No, no, no. The DNG Converter is a stand-alone executable program. You can even put it on your desktop. You would need it only if your camera model is NOT supported by ACR 3.7, which is the latest version you can use with Photoshop CS2.
    In that case, you would use the DNG Converter to convert your raw images to DNG files first and then opening the DNG files in ACR 3.7.
    Now, the ACR 3.7 plug-in has to be installed in the correrct location, which is where the old ACR plug-in resides. You will be replacing that old, obsolete ACR plug-in (while Photoshop is NOT running).
    [The default Photoshop installation comes with and installs that obsolete ACR plug-in.]
    Read the instructions on the download page very carefully, and refer to the FAQs of this forum on the same page where you added this topic.

  • Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3

    This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
    Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
    When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
    I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
    Please advise.

    It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?
