Cannot open Canon .CR2 raw files

I just purchased PSE 7 and I cannot open a raw file with the .CR2 extension produced by my Canon 500D. I have installed all available updates to PSE 7. Is there a way to open a raw file produced by my Canon 500D? Thanks.

You'll need to update manually the Adobe Camera Raw plugin:

  • BUG - Unable to open Canon CR2 RAW file from G1 X, ACR 7.0.0.308

    Unable to open Canon raw CR2 file from G1 X (Photoshop cannot open this file), CR2 file from 1DSIII opens ok.
    Windows 7 X64, Nvidia 2000D, Photoshop CS6 X64 BETA.

    That is correct. the G1 X will be supported in a 7.0 dot release. The camera is currently supported in Lightroom 4.

  • Can't upgrade Photoshop Elements 9.0 to ANYTHING: unable to open Canon CR2 Raw files

    I will start this post w/ the comment that I am completely fed-up with Adobe, and am not surprised at the troubles its having considering how completely **** it's ancillary services on its products are. Outside of the actual editing capabilities of their software (the only reason I and most people use their software) they have bungled UI, design, updates, and product support.
    On to my issue.
    I have a Mac, I have OSX 10.9.4 installed, I also own a copy of Photoshop elements. I recently wiped and reinstalled my OS, and thus reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9.0.
    It doesn't support Canon .cr2 files, Canon Raw image files. I have wasted nearly 2 hours running in circles, and registering for every ******* stupid adobe mailing list, and cloud product, forum ID, that exists, all at adobes insistence without getting any sort of answer.
    1. There is no update function. The menu item HELP>UPDATE ... DOES NOT EXIST, every update must be done manually.
    2. I can't download and install any of the most recent Camera RAW plugins because they require the most update version of PSE9.0.
    3. I manually downloaded both update 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 and was required to download two additional pieces of Adobe software, which at best are useless, and at worst are malware the cloud services OSX plugin, and the Adobe App and Install Manager.
    4. When I run either update patch, I get the error message "This update is not applicable for you" and then information to contact customer support, which then circuitously and deviously reroutes me through a series of stupid questions.
    5. Ultimately I came here and have searched the forums and don't have an answer to my question yet.
    Questions.
    1. Why can't I install updates 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 to my PSE 9.0 for Mac OSX
    2. I don't give a f#*K about the updates, I just want to open canon RAW CR2 files.
    I wish someone else produced even moderately decent photo editing software, I'd rid myself of adobe.

    The raw files from the 5D should open OK but the files from the EOS-M require PSE11 or PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files from the EOS-M 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)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

    I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

    If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

  • Opening Canon T4i RAW files in PSE10

    Hello everyone
    I recently traded in my Canon T3i for a T4i, and now PS Elements 10 won't open the CR2 RAW files from this camera.   According to "Help - Plug In" I have V 6.7, so I went to the Adobe site which said I needed V 7.1, which I download, and extracted, but it won't install it in the software; when I click on the extracted AdobePatchInstaller application, I get a message stating  "Update Failed" and "this patch is not applicable for you".   Also, when I click "Help-Updates" it tells me everything is up to date.  What can I do?

    Some jokingly call it the Adobe Tax.  If you buy a recently released camera, the specifications for RAW files are probably different than previous models.  Adobe takes those specs, camera by camera, and adds thme to ACR.  Adobe does not make current new versions of ACR available to legacy software.  Hence the "tax".  You wrote that your newly released camera is in 7.1.  To use ACR 7.1 conveniently ("natively"?) you have to have the versions of Adobe's tools that use the 7.x series.  That would be Photoshop Elements 11, Premier Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.x
    It was my turn to learn the lessons of the Adobe Tax for a Sony RX100 I bought last year!
    Adobe is not entirely rude about this!  They give away the "Adobe DNG Converter" that is updated in parallel with ACR.  You can, with out paying a cent, download the converter and it will make Elements 10 compatable .DNG files from your CR2 files.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5

    Hello!
    I cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5
    Camera Raw Version is 5.0.0.178, PS CS5 Version 11.0.2
    Anyone have a suggestion that does not involve upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop?
    Thanks!
    Kelly

    Does this mean that I can't get Camera Raw 7.3 with Photoshop CS5?
    Naturally.
    Photoshop CS5 does not use ACR 7.
    I did read about using the free DNG Converter but that seems like an extra step I would prefer to avoid if possible.
    Either upgrade Photoshop or use another means to process the RAW files, and cost-wise DNG Converter can hardly be beat.

  • I am unable to open canon 6d raw files w/ elements 11

    I am unable to open canon 6d raw files w/ elements 11. It seems that camera raw 7.1.0.384 is installed. I tried to update and nothing happens.Any help please?

    Sometimes the Adobe servers can get busy; so try again from Expert Mode:
    Help >> Updates
    You should be able to select ACR 7.4 (see image) and then click the update button.

  • Can't open Canon 6D raw files

    I'm using windows XP and Lightroon 2.7, and am having problems opening Canons 6D RAW files, I can use CS6 but I like LR better.

    You need LR4 to open file from 6D. And LR4 doesn't run under win XP.

  • Elements 11 cannot open Canon 6d RAW?

    PS Elements 11 will not open Canon 6D RAW files - is there a patch?

    You probably need a newer Camera Raw plug-in.  Do Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw and what version does it say?
    You should be able to update the plug-in on an internet-connected computer with Help / Updates… 
    This is the only way Adobe officially wants you to update to a newer ACR version, and they removed the download links they used to provide on their website; however, there is still one place they have been posting the download links, on their blog, so if Help / Updates…  doesn’t work you can try the direct download link, here, which are provided for people who don’t have an internet connection on their Photoshop computer:

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

    I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

    Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.
