Canon 70D RAW files to Lightroom 3

What do you need to do to work with Canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 3 ?

Either upgrade to Lightroom 5, or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2s to DNG which LR3 will then read.

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.

Can't open Canon 70D raw files with elements 12

Can anyone advise me why elements 12 will not open my Canon 70D raw files? When I have tried to update elements it tells me that there are no updates available. The Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plugin is version 8.0.0.137

The Canon 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2.

If you have windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X 10.6.8 you won't get the camera raw 8.5 update, because it doesn't work on those operating systems.
In that case you should be able to update to Camera Raw 8.3

Canon 70D raw files Photoshop Elements 11

How can I view Canon 70D raw files in Photoshop Elements 11?

You need PSE12 to read your CR2 files. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files 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 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Does PSE 12 support Canon 70D RAW files?

Does anyone know for sure if PSE 12 supports Canon 70D RAW files? Thanks.

Sorry but I do not understand what XP or Vista has to do with my question. Stated another way, my question is, does the version of ACR that comes with the version of PSE 12 that is available for purchase at this moment definitely support Canon 70D RAW files?
FWIW, I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bit so PSE 12 will run on my system.
Thanks.

Does elements 13 accept canon 70d raw file,as elements 11 does not

does elements 13 accept canon 70d raw file,as elements 11 does not,

Hi,
Yes, Photoshop Elements 13 should read raw files from the EOS 70D. You can always download the trial version and test it for yourself.

Does Elements 12 support Canon 70D RAW files?

Elements 11 doesn't support Canon 70D RAW files. Is it possible to ugrade, or do I have to purchase Elements 12?

How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

Can someone help? I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files. It was OK with the raw files from my 450D. I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot. I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).

PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

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:

How to open Canon 70D Raw files with PSE12? [was:HB]

I have Elements 12 and a Canon 70D but cannot access my raw files - what to do?

Run Help> Updates. This will install the 8.4 plug-in necessary to open 70D files (first supported in v8.2). This will require W7 or later, XP or Vista won't update to 8.4.
Cheers,

I can't import my Canon 6D RAW files into Lightroom 4.2

Anyone else have this problem? I have a 5D Mk II, and just bought a 6D yesterday. I have Lightroom 4.2 on a Mac. Anyone else have this problem? It won't let me import the RAW files, won't show previews of them.

For a camera like the 6D that is relatively important and relatively similar to other camera before, it is not a case of Canon and Adobe not cooperating or Canon not supplying some information. It is a case of timing in a competitive market.
Before supporting a particular camera, Adobe needs a profile for it. Adobe has to create said profile from a PRODUCTION model camera not a beta version where something might change and the profile would be no good. How far in advance is Canon going to have a PRODUCTION camera that they could supply to Adobe to profile but not supply it to distributors to sell?
Canon and Adobe are independent companies headquartered in different countries with different market forces and global economic conditions driving their revenue. Canon is NOT going to hold off selling a camera waiting for Adobe to profile it and incorporate it into their next version of software it, and Adobe is not going to have a camera to profile until just before or just after Canon sells one. Canon needs the freedom to tweak things at the last minute without coordinating schedules with Adobe, and Adobe needs to freedom to release things according to a schedule that allows things to be reasonably bug free and coordinated between various software platforms. The plug-in concept for Photoshop means that a new release of Photoshop not have to be ready just to support new cameras, but with Lightroom, a new piece of software does need to be ready for release before new cameras can be supported. For this reason Adobe releases their camera support on a relatively fixed schedule, rather than a small update closer to the time of a particular camera being ready internally.
If Canon and Adobe were the same company or somehow coordinated the release of their camera and software support, the only thing different would be that the camera or Adobe software would be delayed until the other was ready. A particular photographer can accomplish the same thing by waiting to buy their new camera until after it is supported by their raw-processing software of choice. With the current situation of Adobe and Canon being separate companies and having independent release schedules, for those without need to use Adobe software, they can buy the camera sooner.

Microsoft OneDrive and Canon 70D RAW Files display issue

Hello Guys,
I have a Canon 450D and I was really surprised that my RAW files (*.CR2) were displayed on Microsoft OneDrive without making a JPG files.
That's really cool !
Few weeks ago I receive my new Canon 70D.
I have upload my RAW files (*.CR2 also) on OneDrive and the file is not displayed.
To make it easy, you will find both files here :
http://1drv.ms/1qvndZW
I all ready ask support on their forum : Here
But they ask me to ask you...
By any chance, has Canon changed their .CR2 files format that would explain Microsoft has to update their "Convertor" ?
Thanks in advance for your time !
If you want a OneDrive Space, you can use my referral link or Bing OneDrive ;-)

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Camera RAW is more of a "concept" than a specific standard. The idea behind a RAW file is that the data unloaded from the chip will not be altered in any way which results in a loss of original data.
JPEG images use a "lossy" compression algorithm which will normalize data when differences are so subtle that your eye probably would not have noticed the difference. But when images are adjusted, subtle differences may be "stretched" and the loss of the original data can be detrimental to ability to adjust the image later and still get good results.
BUT... since every camera can have a difference sensor, different resolutions, etc. the method needed to decode a RAW file and display the image can be different literally on a model-by-model basis. When you work with RAW files, you always need the codec specific to that very camera model.... not just "any" .CR2 codec will work. This is the same with all other brands of cameras as well.
Microsoft does not include camera RAW updates in the default OS updates that you may be applying to your computer on a regular basis (Apple does... every couple of months I get a camera RAW update and if I read the notes, it'll have a list of new camera models on the market for which they've added RAW support.) But Microsoft DOES make the RAW updates available... they're just not automatic. You have to go download and install them.
See this link at the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2899189
If you look down the page on that specific link, you'll notice a whole list of cameras for which they've added RAW support and the Canon 70D is among them.
