Canon 50D RAW files not showing

Hi all,
I just got a Canon 50D as an addition to the current 400D (Rebel in the USA).
I am shooting 100% RAW files, and I am having a problem with previewing them.
I downloaded and installed the Camera RAW 5.2 fro Adobe and Lightroom and Photoshop have no problems opening the files.
The quick view show only a white (generic) icon, Preview a Question mark, while the RAWs from 400D show without a problem.
I can sort of live with it as I use Lightoom for all viewing and editing, but it is a bit annoying that a quick look with the Quick Look is impossible.
Anyone has /had this issue? Any solutions please?

OK, here's a boy who answers his own questions...
The Apple Camera RAW update 2.4 does NOT list 50D as a new supported camera model, and yet... what do you know... it does include support for Canon 50D.
Done!
Hope it helps someone.

As to the Adobe RAW, I thought that it also becomes a "system extension" (for the lack of a better wording) which COULD help, and which obviously doesn't. Thanks for the info.
In regards to the Apple Update, I just assumed that the latest would contain all previous updates, or if it did not, upon install inform that one needs the previous one installed first (Just like Java updates do) - which, again, obviously it doesn't. Again, thanks for the info and the link. I am downloading as I type this, so will see soon - after a restart, so an edit is coming...
Strange thing with the yesterday's RAWs working 100% and today's not at all.
Hopefully the 2.3 will do the trick.
Stand by.
We have a problem, the 2.3 tells me that it DOES NOT NEED to be installed as a newer version is already installed. This would imply that previous updates are indeed included in 2.4 (just like the security updates - enough to install the latest one.
Well, that's a bit of a problem, innit?
Any way to manually pick the 2.4 off the system?

Elements 6, Canon 50D Raw Files, Windows Vista

Hi all...my first post here...
I'm able to load and see my Raw files in the organizer after loading the latest ACR. But when I browse through the files, after a bit, I get an error message that Elements needs to close. After closing I check my task manager and notice that the organizer is at 25% CPU usage, so something is hanging things up. I just don't know enough to figure it out. (I'm a little tech savvy, but not a lot...)
I'm on a PC running Vista. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

"Bug Files"? That's a new one for me.
I've successfully imported a Thousand RAW files with thumbnails generated in the organizer.
I've got 4gigs of RAM.
I left the organizer open for 6 hours today and when I got back home, the RAW files still wanted to freeze, yet I was able to go to some jpg files and work on them before getting the "Elements is not responding and needs to close message". I'm going to go back to check on browsing the RAW files again.
I heard from someone on a DPReview Canon Forum who had the same problem with Elements 6 and the 50D Raw files and it disappeared when he upgraded to Elements 7.

Raw files not showing in PSE12

I recently upgraded from a Canon T3 to a Canon 70D. I had been using PSE11 with my T3 without any trouble. But when I got the 70D it would no longer load my raw files. I did some quick research and saw that I needed to purchase PSE12, so I did. However, my files still aren't showing even after doing an update. I'm running on Vista and while my computer is 7 years old it really is working great so I would like to avoid getting a new system just to upload the raw files. I read about DNG but I really don't want the extra step of having to convert my files. I just want to be able to import the raw files and work with them from there. I read somewhere that it's possible to do a manual upgrade to camera raw 8.3, but I can't find any directions. Would love some help. I'm about to pull my hair our. What's so hard about them offering the update through the program I just shelled out $80 for. I shouldn't have to spend hours getting PSE12 to work. Thanks in advance for any help!

Sure, it's not too hard to do the upgrade to camera raw 8.3.
First download and install the 8.3 dng converter to install the required profiles for camera raw 8.3
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.3
Then download the Camera Raw_83_GM_32bit.zip from the following link
(it's under where it says Revert to 8.3 on Windows 32-bit Windows XP and Vista)
(since pse 12 is a 32 bit program on windows, you want the 32 bit camera raw plugin)
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
Extract the contents of the Camera Raw_83_GM_32bit.zip and copy the enclosed Camera Raw.8bi file to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (64 bit windows vista system)
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (32 bit windows vista system)
It's a good idea to delete the old camera raw plugin before pasting the new one into one of the above places.

RAW files not showing when I shoot raw + Jpeg!!!

I have a strange issue that has only recently started happening. I have started shooting raw + jpeg to speed up post processing. However, after I import the files into Organizer the raw files will not show. At first I thought it was the camera. So I used a different brand DSLR. I had the same issues with my Sony and my Canon. I have shoot raw with the Sony for years and never had an issue. I have shot raw with the Canon and haven't had an issue. It is only when I shoot raw + jpeg. I formated both cards prior to using them.
The files are there and not damaged. I used the software from Sony and the software from Canon and was able to view the raw files. I wanted to make sure what I put was accurate so I tried viewing the files again. Even with the Canon software when I tried to view some of the raw files full screen it wouldn't let me.

I am using PhotoShop elements 10. My cameras are a Sony a230 and Canon 60d.

Canon CRW Raw files not supported in Preview, Nikon supported

With Panther and Jaguar, Canon RAW files in crw format were supported in Preview. In Tiger, these files are not. Also, when importing these files from camera or CF reader, canon raw files tagged with .thm! What is this? an 8 kb "document" that renders file corrupt. Did not happen in Panther or Jaguar. And the problem is NOT my camera because it works fine on Windows PC and on previous OS mac.
here's the kicker: Nikon NEF raw format is NOW supported by Preview, but was NOT supported in Panther and Jaguar.
So, I called AppleCare and they say NO raw formats should be supported by Preview.
Another example of how Apple has lost compatibility and quality control?
Anyone else who uses RAW files in photography have same experience?
Thanks.
Michael.

The easiest way to edit plist files is with Property List Editor, which you get installed if you install the Developer stuff that comes with your OS install disks. If you don't want to add all that stuff your computer, it is possible to edit with a a straight text editing program in plain text. Personally I find that too confusing. I put a copy of my edited Raw.plist file up:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/Raw.plist.zip
It has the substitution of the S50 for the original S60. It also lists the S70, so your Canon S70 should be working. If it isn't working either, then this hack won't help you. Download and unzip the file.
Because of permissions--you aren't supposed to be mucking about in this area--the easiest way to proceed is using the Terminal. The path is, unfortunately, extremely long. You open the System folder, then the Library folder, then Frameworks, ApplicationServices.framework, then Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources. You should now see a list of files that includes the Raw.plist file. Leave that Finder window open.
Launch Terminal from your /Applications/Utilities folder. If you have never used it, nor ever used a sudo command you will get a friendly warning when you issue the first command. We want to make sure that the original file doesn't get lost. So type:
sudo mv
and a space, then drag the Raw.plist file into the Terminal and drop it. The Terminal will helpfully fill in the path. Add a space, then copy the path up to the file name and paste, then type RawOld.plist as the new file name and hit the Return key. You'll need to type your password, which is NOT echoed to the screen, so type carefully and hit the return key again.
Next you want to add the modified Raw.plist file to the folder. Using a sudo copy command will insure that it belongs to system. So type
sudo cp
add a space and drag the new Raw.plist file into the Terminal window. Paste in the path to the folder (it should still be on the clipboard) hit return, give your password and hit return again. I don't remember whether it was necessary to restart the Finder or not. You might want to do a restart and then Repair Permissions, just to be on the safe side.

Canon 70D RAW file not recognized in PSE 11

I tried opening a RAW file from my Canon 70D in my Elements 11. It did not recognize it. I read Elements 12 can read it. Can I upgrade to 12 for free? If not how can I get my Elements 11 to open the RAW files?

Elements 12 will open the files if you update the camera raw plug-in to the latest version.
When the version number to the left of the decimal point increases then you have to pay more money. For Elements this is once per year in the fall. Upgrading from PSE11 to PSE12 would be an upgrade-price, which is cheaper than the non-upgrade price.
You can use the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to DNGs and open then with an older versions of the camera raw plug-in.
Download the latest DNG Converter from a link on this page:

CS3: HDR Merge Problem with Canon 50d RAW files

I recently upgraded from a 20D to a 50D. I'm running CS3 under WinXPpro with 3GB of RAM. HDR merge of 3 CR2 files is causing CS3 to generate a program error and crash. This never happened with my older (smaller) files from the 20D. Anybody know how to fix this?
TIA,

The suggestion was to try an HDR with smaller 50D sRAWs as an *experiment* to see if the size matters more than the camera model. Another benefit of a 50D would be the 14-bits per pixel instead of 12-bits and an sRAW would have less noise per pixel than a full-size RAW so using smaller sRAW images might work better than a 20D's.
The "size" being referred to is the dimensions in pixels, not the on-disk size, becasue the in-memory size of an image should be similar whether it comes from a 16-bit TIFF or an 16-bit RAW conversion.
Merging RAWs will involve ACR during the HDR process, whereas merging TIFFs won't unless you have the setting to prefer ACR for TIFFs, too, which you don't indicate.
There can be data in the highlights and especially shadows from a RAW that gets thrown away when it's converted to TIFF, so merging RAWs is better than merging from TIFFs.
I currently have CS4 only on my machine so I forget, but with CS3, does it matter what output size you have set in ACR, when you do an HDR conversion from RAW? In other words, does HDR using ACR ignore the output size or not? If not, then perhaps setting a smaller size in ACR (the same area where you set the bit depth and conversion colorspace) would make things work or setting a larger size with 20D images would make them fail. This is being suggested as a experiment as well, to try to isolate the issue, not necessarily a permanent solution.
I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with a 50D RAW that would make it not work, but the larger size would use more memory and maybe your machine is getting close to some sort of limit.
Other suggestions would be to reset your preferences and check your disk(s) with scandisk and/or change your scratch-disk to somewhere else to make sure there's no some corruption keeping the HDR process from working with the larger 50D images, and along those lines, also try purging your ACR cache or moving it to another drive. You might also try changing the amount of memory available to Photoshop (ram vs scratch-disk) in the Preferences.
What module does the crash occur in, if the error says? Is it related to display or something else?

Canon 60D - RAW files not opening

I have recently taken pictures with a Canon 60D and i am unable to open the raw files in ACR.
I am running PS CS5 and have ACR 6.7.
I have read forums which say that the 60D require 6.2 and yet i am still unable to view the files.
Other applications as the Digital Photo Professional open them fine when i have downloaded the drivers for that camera.
Can any one help?

The raw file you posted is not corrupt; however, it is from a 650D which wasn’t supported in ACR 6.7. See screen capture, below.
Do you have a 60D file that doesn’t work that you can post?
You could convert the 650D raw files to DNGs to process them in CS5/ACR 6.7, or upgrade to CS6/ACR 8.1 for $200, or subscribe to the creative cloud single-app, or perhaps expierment with Lightroom, with the longest timeframe would be available with LR 5.2 RC that expires Sept 30.

Canon T3i RAW Files not supported

I just purchased the Canon T3i and its RAW files are not supported on my Photoshop CS5. What can I do?

Hello!
Even if 6.4.1 was the first one to support your camera, given the fact that each versions brings small bug fixes, I'd recommend to update to the latest version for CS5, Camera Raw 6.7, you can get it at this link:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5371
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5370
I would recommend also to download and install the latest version of the DNG converter 7.2, in case you want to process files made in cameras that were released after Camera Raw 6.7:
Win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5486

Canon G12 RAW files not recognized

The DNG converter V6.3 I just downloaded and installed does not recognize RAW files from my Canon G12. Any idea why?

I read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!

Canon 50D RAW Files and PSE6

I've followed the instructions to add the latest Camera RAW files but still cannot get PSE6 Organizer to recognize the RAW files from my Canon 50D. The editor has no problem recognizing them and allowing edits to take place. Anyone have additional ideas to remedy this?

The issue happens either when downloading from a card or attempting to open the files from the card reader or a folder. I get the message "You are attempting to open a file that is an unrecognizable format or is corrupted." I got similar responses from the Canon software and Irfanview until they were updated with the latest rev that included the 50D.

After Effects CS6: Canon .CR2 RAW files not recognized as acceptable files for import?

HI Folks,
I'm trying to import as I've seen on tutorials, my RAW files from my Canon 5D3 .CR2 files. I can open them in PS and LR5….and I'd seen examples of folks opening them with AE CS6 standalone, but it doesn't seem to recognize mine.
Any thoughts? Is there something I need to update, or flag or change?
I'm on a mac, OSX 10.7.5
AE verson: 11.0.4.2
This is what my import screen looks like:
Thanks in advance,

1.4.1 Windows XP: Raw files not showing

I downloaded a lot of files from my camera (where I'm shooting Camera Raw and Jpeg), but only the jpeg files are visible in the filmstrip. I assume I've changed some setting inadvertently but can't imagine what. If I just look in the folder from CS3, I do see the raw files. Thanks for your help.

What camera and what version of Lightroom? If your camera is not supported by the version of LR used it will only import the JPEGs. And for good measure,what OS?

Canon 5D RAW files not opening in Photoshop CS3

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
Hey Ho!
I did a photoshoot at a friend's studio last week, using his Canon 5D as it was all set up with the lights etc etc.
He saved the files for me as RAW - *.CR2 - as I am used to using with my 450D. The only difference I can see is that his files are numbered like this:
_MG_1791.CR2
whereas mine would have an "I" at the front - like it would be:
IMG_1791.CR2
I cannot open his files in my Photoshop CS3 - I get the error "Cannot complete your request as it is not the right type of file" or similar. I have no problems opening my own CR2 files from my 450D.
I have searched this issue on the Adobe forums, as well as other photography forums, and they say to download the plugin update remove the old one and replace it with the new. I have tried following step-by-step, but I still can't get it to work.
If anyone has come across a similar problem, I would be greatful to hear what you did.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying the DNG converter again, and it seems to be converting this time - maybe I didn't do it right last time... I hope that CS3 will be able to read the DNG files - will let you know how it goes shortly!

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)
