Canon Raw images (CR2)

Have Elements 7. Will not load my recent raw files (CR2) for editing "... because it is the wrong type of file". shot with my new 7D. Yet it will load older CR2's shot with my 20D. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to download and install Adobe Camera Raw 5.6. Please follow the installation instructions exactly.

Error when opening Canon Raw images.....Photoshop CC2014

Hi,
tried already in the german forums without answer, so will try it her
System:
macbook pro 2012, Core i7
16GB Ram
after upgradinf to 10.10. full and the upgrades for Photoshop i have the following problem,
this occured 4 times now.
When double clicking a Canon Raw Image (.cr2 file) Camera Raw 8.6 opens.
Now i can adjust the pic - and/or can open it into Photoshop
worked fine so far....but not always since the update
If i do so, sometime the pic will be opened like this
is here a photoshop pro aware of this error?
So far i did NOT reinstall Photoshop.
Its the only application i use (and PTGui sometimes)
happens since the last updates
The only thing i did is: also using (at this time only installed) Lighroom. Have to look how it works first
Ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Frank

I have made a few more observations.
I can actually open Camera Raw if I click the "Open in Camera Raw..." icon i Bridge.
In Camera Raw I can save files as .psd for example, and also open them in Photoshop. I still get the error when I try to open Camera Raw settings.

Photoshop Elements 7 Canon RAW image

I just purchased and loaded Elements 7, because I couldn't use Elements 5 to read Canon RAW (.CR2) images. I was told that Elements 7 would read Canon RAW files.
I get the same error message when I try to load a Canon RAW image. Message is "Cannot open Canon IMG_001.CR2 because it is the wrong type of fie". The file format type, .CR2, is not even listed as an option. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. Camera is Canon 50D.
What do I do? If Elements 7 won't read Canon RAW, then I guess I need to return it.
Thanks,
Howard

Howard,
You may have been given misleading information -- PSE 5 should indeed read Canon 50D raw files. According to this Adobe tech note, PSE 5 supports Adobe Camera Raw 4.6:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407110
and according to the ACR 4.6 download page, it supports the Canon 50D:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4036
So if you really didn't want to spend the money for upgrading, you could return PSE 7.
If you want to keep PSE 7, then that error message indicates that either you have the wrong version of ACR installed or it is installed incorrectly. The Adobe tech note above walks you through how to fix it.

Canon RAW images displaying color borders at contrast edges

I noticed annoying color borders in RAW images taken from my Canon PowerShot S120. They look like the color planes are misaligned. Around high contrast areas (between light and dark grey) I can notice magenta borders in one direction and cyan borders in the opposite direction, both approximately 5 pixels wide.
I record and store images as RAW+JPEG pairs. In Aperture I set RAW as master.
In the original JPEG of the image pair from the camera this error is absent, the color is neutral on both contrast edges.
The error in the RAW image can also be seen when the file is opened directly in Preview or if the RAW image is exported to a TIFF using Aperture and then opened with Preview.
I compared this to older RAW+JPEG image pairs I took with the previous model, a Canon PowerShot S90. There I see yellow and blue borders in opposite directions in Aperture or Preview, also approximately 5 pixels wide. In the camera's original JPEG image from the image pair this is still a bit visible, but far less pronounced.
My oldest RAW images taken with a Nikon E8800 (.NEF) don't show such artifacts when viewed in Aperture.
Since the JPEG from the pair does not have these artefacts my guess is that the RAW converter is not optimal or some metadata in the Canon RAW files (.CR2) is either missing (worst case) or not used correctly.
My hope is that I just have to adjust some presets to correct this. Else it is probably up to Canon or Apple.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue (without going through the individual files, if possible)?

Hi Keith
Thanks for the infos.
Just to clarify:
I didn't ask for RAW, I just use raw formats because there's curretly no better alternative. I would like to see what came into the lens - like an ideal hole camera . Ordinary JPEG is way too limited (8bit resolution per color channel plus really ugly compression artefacts).
For archiving I would much prefer the JPEG2000 format with lossless encoding and as many bits per pixel as the camera's analog to digital converters provide, linearly encoded (above the noise background but including one bit of noise, to be precise). But, alas, when I did my last experiments (Snow Leopard) the image framework in Mac OS X did still not support more than 8bit resolution per color channel in JPEG2000.
One good thing about raw formats is that the corrections could actually be better than what is always done by the camera's firmware for JPEG or standard TIFF at the time of the shot. Another good thing is that various sensor and color patterns can be handled directly.
If Canon can do it in DPP, then I strongly hope they will also provide a better converter for Mac OS X. On some pictures this aberrations are really obvious and irritating.

TIFFs turn into Canon Raw images

Why does iPhoto call my .tif files Canon Raw images? They are scanned images I edited in Photoshop CS3. I did set dates in iPhoto, having checked "Modify original files", but that's the only thing I did.
Edit: now that I checked, I also discovered that the files shrunk to about 10% of the original file size. Why? I don't want my photos converted to lossy formats without being asked.

Others are having problems with iPhoto changing tiffs to jpgs after date change and editing. See the thread "Adjust Date and Time..." will convert your TIFFs to JPGs!!!. I was not able to duplicate that issue. I also did essentially the same as you did and did not experience your problem.
Were the extensions on those files changed to .cr2 or another Canon raw extension?
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 and Leopard. 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.

Why won't Canon Raw images in IPad air photoroll NOT load into LightRoom Mobile ?

Why won't Canon Raw images in IPad air photoroll NOT load into LightRoom Mobile ?
I can import Canon Raw images from my s120 into the iPad Air's photo roll but then the import from photoroll into LightRoom Mobile collections fails.
Any ideas on how to get this working ?
Thanks,

Trouble converting Canon Raw images to DNG

Hello!
I have been using the Adobe DNG converter for a while without any trouble to convert my .CR2 (Canon Raw) files, but today all I'm getting when opening the program is this:
So obviously I can't click on any of the buttons. I had the 8.7.1 version, so I downloaded the 8.7 version and the problem persists. I'm using a PC with Windows 7 if that helps. So far I've tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and re-installing the program (both versions), trying it with Photoshop opened/closed. Nothing works
Do you have any idea what I could do to fix this? Or is there an alternative that I could use to convert .CR2 files to .DNG?
Thank you!

Here is another thread indicating the same problem, and a possible solution:

Canon RAW images

Will Photoshop Elements 9 allow me to open and work on images taken in the RAW format? (I have Photoshop Extended, but I'm looking for something that will work on a small netbook). Does Elements use Bridge and/or Adobe Camera RAW? If not, how does it read Canon (40D or 7D) RAW images?
kdoc

Elements should work, but the screen resolution is too low to
allow for the camera raw dialog, among other things. Camera
raw photos will still open in elements, just not via the camera raw dialog.
(same with photoshop)
Maybe you can set a higher screen resolution, but i would try a trial before buying.
Also the minimum requirements listed on the adobe page are wrong with
respect to minimum screen resolution.

Importing raw images (.CR2) into iPhoto'08

I am trying to import 17Gb worth of raw (.CR2) images from an external hard drive as JPEGs, but in iPhoto I find I have to import them first before I convert them to JPEGs. Does anyone know how I can import them into iPhoto as JPEGs or tell me of a software that can convert them without importing the photos first? (Keep in mind that this software needs to be *leopard friendly*.)
Thanks, Supernova329

Supernova329:
There is a way to batch convert the cr2 raw files to jpgs with the demo version of iView MediaPro. Launch iVMP and import your folder(s) of raw files. Then select a folders worth of file and use the Action->Convert Image files menu option. In the settings select JPG as the format, Size=use image size, Settings=color =best, and Resolution=use image resolution. Then hit the Convert button and pick or create a new folder to put them in.
Happy Holidays

Help! I can't open canon raw files .CR2 with PSE 7.0 after installing plug in.

I have a Canon rebel EOS T1i camera and have been shooting in RAW (.CR2) format. I have tried installing the latest ACR plug-in and when I try to open the .CR2 file I get an error message stating that it is unrecognizable. It is very frustrating and I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks!

You need to make sure you have the latest version of ACR which is version 5.6. Some of the Adobe links are not what they seem and lead to earlier versions. Use the download for PSE8; it will work with PSE7.

CANON 60D images CR2

I bought a new canon 60D, and I currently own Mark III and using Camara Raw 4.1. How am I to open my new files using Camera Raw ver.??? and do I delet my old "plugin?" Don't know the process, thanks in advance all you smart folk. Cheer and Happy New Year!
[email protected]
warmest,
Kevin

If you are using Camera Raw 4.1 then that likely means you are using Photoshop CS3 (or a similarly old version of Photoshop Elements).
You will not be able to open 60D images with that version directly.
You *could* download the very latest version of Adobe's free DNG Converter. That would allow you to convert your 60D images to DNG files, which your old Camera Raw would then be able to open.
Or you could upgrade to one of the latest Photoshop versions. This table shows what Camera Raw versions support which cameras...

Importing and editing Canon Raw images with iPhoto

Imac 20" 2009 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB, Yosemite 10.10.2 iPhoto 9.6 (919.29)
Canon Eos 5D mark III
After importing pictures as soon the editing window is open, the picture turn green as showed on the enclosed screenshot. The pictures remain green after edit.
Already tried to repair disc and permission via recovery function at restart, then because negative,
Yosemite reinstalled.
Tried also different ways to import pictures without results.
Only the pictures imported with Yosemite are affected. Raw files already imported with Mavericks are fine.

Unfortunately I still have the problem. When importing pictures via Canon Utility in iPhoto, the editing window was fine. But shutting down iphoto and re-opening the problem appears. So the problem is not related to the importing method.
I confirm that these are the pictures imported after Yosemite intallation. With mavericks it was ok. The old pictures are not affected.
The problem is also present opening the library in Aperture. Enclosed an example of my turned "green" Picture

Canon RAW file (.CR2) errors

I recently had to reinstall Photoshop CS6 which I did and have installed all the updates. However, I no longer am able to see my .CR2 files in Mini-Bridge or in the Preview window of Bridge. I can see and edit them in Carera Raw (8.2) and Photoshop (v13.0 64). I can see the thumbnails in Bridge. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?

Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?
At first sight it looks like a cache problem to me. When pointing Bridge to a problem folder go to the menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder and see if this brings back the previews.

Canon Raw File CR2 wird im PSE 6 Organizer NICHT angezeigt

Trotz dem ich den aktuellen Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 habe, zeigt mir PSE 6 die RAW-Bilder nicht im Organizer an und behauptet, das es ein unbekanntes Format ist.
Wie integriere ich Adobe Camera Raw in PSE 6 ???
Danke
...jub

Many thanks for the assistance.
I'm starting to believe CS4 browser is much better than Organiser - at least for the Mac. There are several key components that appear to be lacking in Organiser, but many that's because it was designed for a different purpose.

How can I send my CR2 raw images to a person who uses NEF? (I shoot Canon, Windows, She has Nikon, Apple)?

I have sent some Raw images CR2 files to someone who can't open them. She uses NEF
She is unable to open them.
Is there a way she can open them and then send them back to me?
Thanks

In general CR2s and NEFs will open in Adobe software as long as it is newer than the camera models involved.
If your friend is using Nikon software then it won’t work with Canon raw files.
What is the software brand and version situation on both sides of the transaction and what camera model(s) are you sending raws from?
