Canon CR2 RAW files

I just bought a Canon T3i and want MODERATELY PRICED software to handle the CR2 RAW files from it.  My now VERY OLD Photoshop 6 will not.  Problem: I do NOT want to upgrade from Windows XP at this time.  Lightroom 4 runs under Vista or Windows 7, but not XP.  Will Lightroom 3 handle these files?

Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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,
    C

    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!!

  • 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:

  • How can I import Canon .CR2 raw files gererated by the new Canon 5D MkIII?

    Just got the new Canon 5D MkIII and none of the Adobe products can recognize the raw files (called .CR2) it generates.
    I'd be happy just converting them to .DNG but converters won't recognize them either.
    Anyone know a solution for me?
    Thanks.

    As of today, the raw converter still doesn't work with MkIII files, (v 6.6.0.261).
    The Release Candidate 6.7 converter does work with the 5D Mk III and as stated LR 4.1 RC also works:

  • 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:

  • Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

    Daag Kees,
    >[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
    Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
    After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
    >[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
    Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
    >What means "using Bridge" ?
    Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
    Prettige Kerstdagen!

  • 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.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Note: These cameras are supported in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.0, but not in Camera Raw 7.0.  These cameras will be supported in the next dot release of Camera Raw 7.

  • I use Photoshop CS4 Extended.  Today I went to load a Canon CR2 Raw file and Photoshop could not open it.  Any help?

    I had to reload my software about month back,  would this have anything to do with this issue?

  • CR2 raw files

    My wife swears blind that when she used to drag a Canon CR2 raw file from iPhoto 08 on to the desktop she used to get a .cr2 file on the desktop, whereas now she gets a jpeg. Is this right? Is there any way to get a raw file if dragged on to the desktop? I know that export will get a raw file on the desktop but she says that's the Windows way of doing things she just wants to drag it out as a raw.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Steve:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your wife is right but don't admit it. Just tried it with iPhoto 6 and the original CR2 file is created when dragged from the thumbnail to the desktop. I won't tell if you don't.
    Suggest that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

  • Reading Canon Bridge Raw files

    How can I read a Canon cr2 raw file into PSE 10 ?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    You need PSE 11 to open those raw files. So you have three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 11.
    2. Use the canon software to convert the raw files and then open the resulting tiffs into PSE for further editing, if necessary.
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your SX50 HS  files to DNG files that PSE 10 can understand.

  • Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Folks,
    I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
    I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
    Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
    I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
    Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Doug...

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
    I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

    I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
    Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF  100mm1:2.8 USM)
    Many thanks!

  • Why aren't my .CR2 RAW files opening in Elements 9.0 from my Canon Mark III 5D?

  • Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

    I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
    When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages:  Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog.  File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
    These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

    Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
    able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
    from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
    problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
    Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
    panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
    computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
    other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
    enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
    their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
    again.
