•Canon EOS 5D Mark II Raw Files Won't Open?

I use PE 11 and normally shoot with Nikon cameras. I recently used a friend's Canon #EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon Raw files will not open. I found a Camera Raw plug-in (5.2) that addresses this but am concerned this plug-in will override the camera raw plug-in already installed to read my Nikon files. Is this a valid concern?

Thanks for your response. What I think the problem was had to do with a couple of corrupted files. The jpg versions displayed correctly but the raw files did nothing when they were selected. I deleted 4 files that would not display and then randomly selected another which did. All the remainder of 46 files display in PE. I might have a bad CF card on my hands even though it is new. I’ll send it to Lexar for examination.
Good to know the question forum works. Thanks.

Recognize Canon EOS 7D Mark II RAW Files in PS CS5 on Windows

I'm trying to get a RAW files from a Canon EOS 7D Mark II recognized by PS CS5. I'm running a Windows 8.1 desktop.
That camera format is supported by ACR 8.7.1 update. But that appears to be only backwards compatible with PS CS6.
Is there any recourse other than upgrading Photoshop? Thanks.

Yes. Download the DNG Converter free from Adobe: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1 in order to convert the Canon raws to dng format which can then be read in Adobe Camera Raw.
Here's how to use it: Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube

Have you tried the Adobe DNG converter program? You can download it from them.

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.

I have just purchased a Canon 7d Mk2 but the raw files will not open in Cs5 and downloads of Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 will not install. What can I do?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

Canon 6D Raw Files won't open in PSE10

Can't open raw images in PSE 10 from EOS_Digital. I'm using a Mac, Mavericks operating system, which is up to date. Have got a new camera, Canon 6D. No problem previously with Canon 60 D. I've downloaded LR5 but rather confused with it, so went back to my original way of editing via EOS Digital and PSE 10 which would always open up the raw files before but now won't?

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
The Canon 60D requires Camera Raw 6.2 which is compatible with Elements 10 and later. So you can open 60D Raw files in Elements 10.
The Canon 6D requires Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with Elements 11 and later. So you'll never be able to open 6D Raw files in Elements 10..
You must either a) upgrade to the latest version Elements 12.
Or b) first convert all your 6D Raw files to DNGs using the free Adobe DNG converter. That adds an extra step to your workflow. Then you can open and edit the DNGs in Elements 10.

Canon Raw files won't open

I cannot view raw files from my Canon 1000d camera. It shows a preview during transfer, yet when trying to open them in iphoto9 the raw file remains black. JEPG's work fine. Furthermore, I cannot open the raw files in Photoshop CS4, I get error message CS4 does not recognise the file type. I have downloaded compatibility download 3.3 from your support page and 5.2 from Adobe, with no effect. My old camera 400D worked fine with no issues. Help.

Ok, I found a page on how to reinstall the drivers, but it didn't help.
After some experimentation, I discovered that the problem is not with RAW files but RAW+JPEG files from my Canon EOS Rebel XL/1000D. The camera is listed on the supported cameras page at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475. And I have read other posters saying they have imported RAW+JPEG files into iPhoto without problems.
I imported a RAW-only photo and it worked correctly, showing the thumbnail during import and in the library, and then opening properly. But RAW+JPEG photos show a black thumbnail during import and in the library, and then open as black rectangles. Also, the black rectangles labeled as the RAW files are the same exact size as their corresponding JPEGs (~3MB), whereas the RAW-only file is 10MB.
This means my RAW data was never actually imported and would have been lost forever if I had actually erased the old photos from my SD card. We're talking about photos of my daughter's birth!
I'm going to try opening the SD card on a PC to import the data and see if I can extract the RAW stuff then transfer it to my iMac. This is sad.

Canon 5D Raw files won't open

I'm using Photoshop CS3 and cannot open RAW files from my Canon 5D. I've followed the directions from Adobe on installing the latest version of Camera RAW, however it still does not work. Another odd thing is that when I check Help -> About Plug-In -> Camera RAW it lists my version as being 2.0, not 4.3.1. I've now tried installing it twice and neither time has anything changed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Murray,
Something here simply does not make sense. ACR 2.0 isn't even the last version that was created for Photoshop CS. It isn't available for download anywhere. It shipped with Photoshop CS, and the final update version was 2.4. That is the only version of ACR for Photoshop CS that is available for download. It is not compatible with any later versions of Photoshop. That is why your dilemma is so puzzling.
Are you sure you are seeing 2.0 as the version of ACR, or could it possibly be your version of Bridge? At the top of the Camera Raw forum there is a link to the current version of Camera Raw (version 4.3.1 currently) and that is the one that you need. When you go to that link there is another link to a readme file that provides exact instructions on where to install the plug-in. It has to be put precisely in the folder specified, or it will not work. And you must get rid of the older version that is already there, or should be there. Don't try to store the older version in a subfolder in the Adobe folder structure because that will cause problems as well.
If you can let us know what operating system you are using and a few more details about your installation it will be a lot easier for someone to help you work through these problems.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III RAW support PLEASE!

Seriously, the camera was announced in August 2007. 6 months have passed and Apple has failed to provide a RAW support update for this camera!
Why is this program targeted towards professionals if RAW support takes longer than a half a year?
If this goes on much longer, I might have to make the dreaded switch to Lightroom. And i truly do not want to do that.
Sorry, I am upset.

Large Photographic software developers (of which I'd consider Apple, with its iPhoto and Aperture applications, to be part of the group) can get early access to preproduction copies these high end cameras so their RAW definitions can be nearly complete at camera rollout time.
This is a process problem that Apple has (batching RAW definition creation and distribution for all cameras, mostly all those digicams, with OS updates). Apple needs to see this (time delay) is a problem for their Pro application users and set up a new process to to fast-track DSLR RAW definitions (creation/distribution).
The E-3 has been waiting since its release in October as well.
Word is that the new Nikon Defs are in the OS X 10.5.2 update (according to beta testers), so the E-3 and Cannon EOS 1Ds Mark III is probably in there too. Couple of weeks now...would be the expectation...no word on what you'd do if you're running 10.4.

Camera Connection Kit and Canon EOS 1D Mk II raw files (CR2)

I just bought the CCK and was disappointed do find that the iPad would not read any of the raw-files that are stored on the SD-card. I can not find any list of supported craw types for CCK/iPad, so I would like to know if my camera is supposed to be supported or not.
When I shoot raw, it does not find the images, and when I shoot raw+jpg, only jpb are copied to the ipad

Another problem that has come up, since mentioned backing up photos on the iPad, is the limitation of the iPad memory. The iPad only has 256 MB of RAM, and the way it indexes photos, and thumbnails, causes problems with large numbers of photos. Users have said they had not come anywhere close to the storage capacity of the iPad but the unit would not allow them to put more photos on.
That limitation may be helped with the iOS 4.2 release if we can put photos in folders...nothing is said about sorting into albums but if they can be placed in folders it may help.
And you are right, RAW is not a standard, but unique format to each camera manufacturer. One must make sure the RAW format for the camera in use is supported by the photo software, Aperture, PhotoShop, whatever.

My RAW-files won't open

Hello there!
Reasently I bought a new camera, a Canon EOS 100D and it was quite a surprise when I noticed that my RAW-files from my new camera wouldn't open in my PS CS5. Any one knows how to fix this problem? Without buying a new PS version. Thanks for any help.

You can download the free DNG converter. Otehrwise indeed upgrading to a newer version of Ps is your only otion if you wnat to open them directly.

D600 Raw files won't open in LR but will in CS6. Help appreciated :)

Hi, I am having trouble opening my D600 raw files in LR 3.6. I transfered the images directly from my camer onto my hard drive. The images open fine in CS6 so I know they are not corrupted. What am I missing? Thank you!

D600 support was added in Lightroom 4.3, so 3.6 won't understand them.
You have 2 options:
1. Upgrade to LR4 (worth it anyway!!!!)
2. Use CS6 or the standalone DNG converter to convert the files to DNG format (older spec) which LR3 will then understand.
I'd go with the LR upgrade personally.

Edited Raw Files Won't Open In CS4

I run Lightroom v 3.3 and now that I have sorted out a CS$ problem I am unable to open an edited nikon raw file in CS$ via the option Photo/edit in/CS4. I get this message 'Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected files at volume/........ for editing. It will not be opened.
So whilst I used to be able to open seamlessly and edit raw images in CS4 after doing work in LR3.3 I cannot now do so. Is it an issue with Lightroom (I suspect it is) or a setting in my camera D3s?
Just prior to this I could not open these same files in CS4 without a serious degradation in the colour but corrected that by unchecking 'compensate for scene-referred profiles' in colour management in CS4.
I am Mac with latest snow leopard OS.
Can anyone advise, please?

Sorry You can actually upgrade to Camera Raw 5.6
Delete the existing Camera Raw 8bi file from the File Formats Folder before starting
Click and download the plug-in
Open the zip folder you just downloaded and click Extract Files.
You should see the plug-in file you need. The plug in has a file name: Camera Raw.8bi
Now drag the plug-in file (or copy it) into the File Formats folder in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 6\File Formats\
Note: Before you start the download you need to do some preparation. Navigate to the File Formats File on the Laptop and move Camera Raw.8bi I suggest you move it from the File Formats folder to My Documents or drag it to the desktop before you begin. This will prevent it being overwritten by the new Camera Raw file (it will have the same name) and you can always move it back again if the download installation fails.
If your laptop is running a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.
