Canon G16 +RAW Files

Hi just had a Canon G16 as a birthday present. Love it.  Only problem which I can't sort out is with downloading RAW images.
I have lightroom4 and the latest edition of Snow leopard. But nothing seems to want to read the Raw Images.
Any thoughts.

This is not the Lightroom Forum, so please post there.
As for which cameras are supported in which ACR and Lightroom versions please check out

  • Can't open canon g16 raw files.  I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

    Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16.  I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files.  The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files.  I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that.  What am I doing wrong?  I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw.  My canon 60d raw files work fine.

    Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
    The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4.  You should ALWAYS update to the latest version.  Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
    Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
    What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.  I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
    Did you install ACR correctly.  ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway).  What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
    You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

  • Canon G16 Raw File completly shuts down the computer

    I am using Aperture3.6 and Yosemite (completely updated) on a 4 year MacBook Air.
    I have used Aperture and macs for many many  years and have been shooting pictures in RAW and editing them in Aperture for 8 years. I have a huge library of RAW files in my aperture library. 
    I have used Canon DLSRs for years and recently traded in my old Canon 550D for a Canon G16 (it is 5 days old!).  When I upload my pictures (RAW+JPG) into Aperture and try to edit or view them (not preview them) about 30% are corrupted (pink psychedelic or black). The others, I am unable to open. Aperture freezes up the entire computer and if I'm listening to music on iTunes the music starts crackling and stopping and then goes dead completely. I cannot forcequit the programs as the computer is completely frozen. 
    I have changed HD Cards and taken it to the camera shop and they cannot find any problem with the camera.
    I've noted on the forum that in 2013/14 peopole reported a few problems with RAW files from the G16 but since then the RAW Compatability has been fixed to include the G16, and it appears no one else is having trouble.
    When I reopen Aperture and go to other projects I am able to edit and view tthose raw files with no problem whatsoever. I've created two new libraries as a test (aperture and iphoto) and the problem persists.
    Can anyone give me advice as to whether this is a camera issue or a software (aperture/iPhoto) issue or perhaps my old air needs renewing. But it seems strange that when the new RAWS fromthe G16 are opened the whole computer freezes and even effects I Tunes!!!!
    What the F?

    after much consternation I have discovered that the problem is APERTURE.  Despite claiming that the program is compatible with the G16 RAW files it really is NOT.  I had to download Canon's own photoediting and viewing software....and guess what no problem at all editing, viewing any of the files.
    I tried them in Lightroom too and guess what...no problem at all!
    So although Aperture has been like an old friend it is time to say bye bye and make the big trek over the Lightroom! 
    Sad but relieved.

  • OS X 10.7 (Lion) iPhoto incompatible with Canon G16 RAW files

    Can anyone help me with this issue?  I recently decided to shoot RAW on my Canon cameras EOS 40D & Power Shot G16.  No issues in importing EOS 40D RAW files, but not the same with the G16 RAW files.  After the importing phase is finished I would receive an error message indicating that *.CR2 (G16 RAW) is not supported. I checked the support threads and it shows that G16 should be supported.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in Advance.

    Here is the download link for the RAW update:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 5.01
    The bad news is that the system requirements state Mountain lion or later is required.

  • How do I get Elements 12 to recognize Canon G16 raw files?

    Elements comes pre-loaded with ACR 8.0.  The G16 is not recogniized until ACR 8.2.  PSE is not automatically updating to the latest version.  How do I download 8.2 and install it in Elements 12?  I have tried the obvious methods with no success.  Need some detailed advise on how to do this.

    You will need to do a manual install since adobe doesn't let vista or xp update automatically anymore. The general procedure is described here (it's for PSE 11, but everything is in the same place in PSE 12):

  • Canon Powershot G16 RAW files and CS5

    I want to be able to work with Canon RAW files shot on my G16 but CS5 doesn't seem to support this. Is there a plug in? or do I need to purchase new/latest software? I really don't want to if I can help it - I have a budget and I'm quite happy with everything else about CS5.
    Nick

    Photoshop uses an Adobe plugin called Camera Raw to read Raw files. Camera Raw must be updated every time a new camera comes on to the market and not all versions of Camera Raw are compatible with all versions of Photoshop.

    The Canon Powershot G16 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    To open Raw files from the G16 in Photoshop, your choices are to upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud.
    Alternatively, you can download the free DNG converter from Adobe, convert all G16 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in CS5

  • How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images?

    How do I update Lightroom 4.4 to download canon g16 raw images from my camera?

    You cannot read your G16 native raw files with any version of LR 4 so there’s no information, here, about paying to update from LR4 to LR 4.4.  You need LR 5.2 to read G16 raw files natively.  LR 4.x to LR 5.x is a pay-for upgrade.
    Alternatively you can use the DNG Converter 8.2 or newer to convert the G16 raw files to DNG raw files and those will work in your older LR 4 version.
    Adobe updates whatever the current version is with new cameras, so once LR 5 came out LR 4.x ceased to be updated for new cameras.

  • 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.

  • Horrible Adobe Chat Experience - How to open Canon 6D Raw files in CS5?

    Hi, I just had an awful Adobe Chat experience with agent Dharma. I waited a very long time and when Mr. Dharma finally was able to help me, he wasn't able to. I was told that my product would no longer be supported and I couldn't be helped by Adobe because it was CS5. I was also sent to a faulty link. Anyway, I recently purchased a Canon EOS 6D and when I tried uploading my photos to Photoshop CS5 it said my RAW photos could not be supported. I followed the appropriate links for support and help.
    My CS5 is updated, the Adobe Bride is updated. The extension for the photos is CR2 and they will not show the thumbnails in bridge and won't load in Photoshop. I need help. Now, I am hoping Adobe will support it's product and customer.

    As each new camera comes out, Adobe have to write the code that enables Camera RAW to work with its RAW files.  It is nrealistic to expect them to keep doing this for all previous versions of Photoshop.  The Canon 6D needs ACR7.3 which Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You have several alternatives. 
    As an owner of CS5 you can take up the BUndle deal at $10 a month.
    You can download the free DNG conversion software, and convert your CR2 files to DNG which CS5 can read.
    You can buy Lightroom 5, oir even Lightroom 4 (if you can still find a copy)
    I'd go with the Bundle deal.  There is a lot more to CC than reading Canon 6D RAW files.

  • Adobe Lightroom 5.7 does not recognize Canon 60D raw files. I have Camera Raw plugin 8.7 installed. Is there solution?

    Neither Bridge CS6 or Lightroom 5.7 can recognize Canon's raw file (Canon Camera 60D).
    This only started a few months ago without any change that I made to the system
    Any clues?

    Is this only when reading CR2 files on the camera memory card or also for CR2 files that were previously imported to your hard drive (i.e. ALL of your 60D CR2 files)?
    LR 5.7.1 is only at Camera Raw 8.7. so OK. What Bridge, PS, and OS versions are installed? In Bridge go to Help> About Bridge
    From inside Bridge launch any raw file and check the ACR version:
    From inside PS go to Help> System Info and check PS and OS version:

  • 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.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    EOS 70D
    CS2
    8.2
    5.2
    Camera Raw 8.5 should be available for Elements 12 via Help > Updates
    Photoshop elements 12 and camera raw 8.5
    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

  • 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.
    Alex

    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:
