Can't open CR2 or JPEG files with Photoshop CS5 on Mac

I recently switched an existing install of Photoshop CS5 to a new MacBook Pro that's running Yosemite (10.10.1).
Photoshop could open most images (e.g. PNG, TIFF, PSD) but it could not—and still cannot—open any JPEG images. These same JPEGs open fine on Preview. I started this thread about the issue a few months ago:
Strange "out of memory" errors all of the sudden
I recently tried to open CR2 files from my (old but trusty) Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Photoshop says that it doesn't recognize the file type.
I tried to install version 7.1 of Adobe Camera Raw but each time I try to install it the Adobe installer displays a cryptic "Update Failed. This patch is not applicable for you." error message.
I don't know what else to try. I'd reinstall Photoshop CS5 but I don't know how to do this since it didn't come with any CDs and I can't find any Adobe resource online to reinstall Photoshop.
Help!

    should i be able to open photo studio files (.psf) in photoshop cs5? How?

    PSF is also an extension for color proof preset/ files in Photoshop.
    However, Photo Studio's PSF files may be opened in Photoshop if you change the extension to .JPG. However, you may be unable to use editing capabilities of the file.
    Do you have a Canon software where Arcsoft's Photostudio came bundled?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

    Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.6 … any suggestions?

    .... strange? in the document you mention above the Nikon D4 is not mentioned as being newly supported and yet when I went to get info about this:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html
    It says that the D4 should be OK in Camera Raw 6.6.
    I confess to being slightly confused.

  • Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

    I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc.  I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

    In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

  • Opening iPhoto 8 JPG file with Photoshop CS3 Camera Raw editor

    I have all my photos stored in my iPhoto 8 library. I have both RAW (CR2) and JPG images. iPhoto 8 opens the CR2 images with Photoshop Raw editor, but I want to use iPhoto to open JPG images with the Photoshop Raw editor using Camera Raw.
    How do I do this without having to export JPG images and opening from Photoshop?
    Thanks!
    SP

    SP:
    If you're trying to use the RAW editor on a jpg it can't be done. It will only work on the RAW file. If you are wanting to edit the RAW file from within iPHoto with CS3 then set CS3 to be the editor of choice in iPhoto's general preferences. Next go to the Advanced iPhoto preference pane and select the option "User RAW when using external editor". That will open the RAW file with Photoshop's raw editor. When you finish you MUST save the new file to the Desktop and import as a new file.
    For some general info on using Photoshop with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Cannot open a TIFF file with Photoshop CS5

    I have enclosed the URL to a TIFF file. I am not able to open this file using Photoshop CS5, as it says unsupported file with this version. I didn't face this problem before.

    Thanks in advance.

    Something must have corrupted someting in the file so newer versions of photoshop won't open it.
    I was able to open it in photoshop 3, ImageReady and also paint and a couple of other non adobe image editors/viewers.
    Though the transparency didn't seem to survive.
    If have you some other image editors or viewers you might try those.

  • I cant load .ant file with photoshop CS5 Extended version

    I need to load a .ant file into photoshop cs5 please tell me how. When I simply double click it doesn't

    I just Googled .ant and it seems ANT is a file extension used by SFR Calculator (formerly CalcANT). ANT files are used when saving the calculation data. No relation to Photoshop files at all. I strongly suspect that c.pfaffenbichler caught your typo. So:
    Place your .atn file on your desktop.
    Open Photoshop and shift it if necessary so that you can also see the .atn file on your desktop.
    Choose Windows > Action  You will see it as a panel.
    Double click on the desktop's .atn. It should load to your Actions panel. If that doesn't do the job, choose Load Actions... from the Actions menu in its upper right corner. 

  • 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?

  • How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

    Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

    mushybutt wrote:
    I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
    Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
    The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.
    mushybutt wrote:
    Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
    You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
    See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
    From 1.40 onwards.

  • Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

    I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

    CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
    What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
    This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
    I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.
