Can't see CR2 files in Photoshop CS5

How do I get Canon SX50 HS CR2 files to appear in Photoshop CS5?

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

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

Firstly take note I shot these with a Canon EOS 450D (or Rebel XSi)...
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 shot 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!

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)?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes. I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
I had all of my website project directories on a network share. As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine. Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
Any PNG, large or small won't work right now. All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too. I just tried one here and the same thing happened. From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now. I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this. The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network. In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

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.

Can't open orf files in Photoshop CS5 with latest updates.

Hi folks,
I have a user having trouble opening orf files. When the problem was first brought to my attention we couldn't open nef files either. I installed the Adobe Camera Raw plugin and then the nef files could be opened but not the orf files.
Does anyone know why this would be and what can be done to fix the problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.

It may be that the camera is not supported by the camera raw 6.7 plugin for photoshop cs5.
(camera raw 6.7 is the newest camera raw plugin supported by photoshop cs5)
Is camera raw 6.7 the plugin you installed?
windows
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
mac
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
You can look at this list and see if it is
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
If the camera(s) are not supported by 6.7, then you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which photoshop cs5 should then be able to open.

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

Your only option is to upgrade or use the DNG convertor.
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.

I can't open .avi files in Photoshop CS5

I used to be able to open .avi files in Photoshop just fine, but I’ve just tried opening one again after a couple of months and I can’t. It’s just black blankness. I have no problem with .mp4 files, but unfortunately, most of the videos I'm trying to make gifs out of are in .avi format.
Is it because I've updated QuickTime? Or is it that Adobe CS no longer supports .avi files? It says here that Photoshop CS6 supports the .avi format.
My specs:
OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
Photoshop CS5.1
QuickTime Player 10.3

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 dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Can't see CR2 files in Adobe Bridge CS6

I have recently purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and have taken a few shots in RAW mode. When I try to open the file in Adobe Bridge CS6, I can't view the file.
I also have a canon T2i and the raw file from that camera show perfectly fine.
What could be the problem? All my CS6 software is up to date.

Updated to ACR 8.4? There is an issue:
The fix is to download a 8.4 again via the link below and follow the instructions to replace the existing 8.4 plugin:

Can't see open files in Photoshop CS3

Hello all!
I'm sure this is a simple fix, but then again...
I have just had my OS updated from XP to Windows 7 and I'm running Photoshop CS3. I was working along just fine - no problems - and then all of a sudden I can no longer see my open files. I know they're open, because I can see them in the navigator. I haven't done anything with my preferences, so why would it work and then suddenly not? Any help would sure be appreciated!

Hah...I spoke too fast. It worked for a couple of images and now it's refusing to open files again. Sheesh. Can't need another update already, could it? Any suggestions?

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.
