Cant open cr2 files in photoshop cs2 or cs3

Is there any faster way to open cr2 raw files from my canon g11 camera in photoshop, the dng converter I downloaded takes way to long. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Probably not. Sounds like you are not able to use hardware acceleration because your system isn't up to it and thus any alternatives would probably suffer the same limitation and feel just as slow....

  • Opening .CR2 files in Photoshop CS2

    I am trying to see if it possible to open .CR2 RAW files in Photoshop CS2, which brings up the message " Could not complete our request because it is not eh right kind of document"
    I have tried updating the Raw Plug in line with Adobe's website and putting the .8BI file into File Formats folder, but this does not seem to solve the problem.
    Adobe on line chat will not help.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    It appears support was added for the 40D in ACR 4.2, while CS2 will only support up to ACR 3.7.

  • Photoshop cs3 cant open CR2 files

    i cant open CR2 files in photoshop cs3 ( nope in bridge cs3)
    please tell me what should i do or download?
    thank you

    Troubleshooting 101: What OS? What camera? What version of Camera Raw do you have installed?
    Odds are you either need to update Camera Rae to 4.6 (the last for CS3) or download the DNG Convertor 5.4 to convert recent (as in the latest Rebel or 5D M3's).
    A place to stop regarding compatibility would be the Camera Raw product page and if you had bothered to mention your OS we could point you to downloads as well.

  • How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

    Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

    I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
    Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
    The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

    Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
    You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
    See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
    From 1.40 onwards.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.

  • Can't open CR2 files in PhotoShop CC. Raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. MacBook Pro OS 10.9

    I'm trying to open .CR2 files (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS) with PhotoShop CC on my Mac. When I try to open them I get an error saying the file can't be opened. The raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. Adobe's charts say I need at least "4.6,5.1" so I would assume my version should open it. What gives?

    First thing I should do is to link you to the Camera Raw forum where the members there have a far better understanding of Camera Raw problems than I do.
    If the generic advice doesn't work, it's time to bring in the specialists.   Click on that link and post your problem with the CR2 files.

  • How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

    Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

    Hi,
    The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
    If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
    Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
    Which operating system are you running on?

  • Can't open .NEF files in Photoshop CS2

    Heres the deal: I've updated and installed my camera raw in Photoshop CS2, so I have the latest version of it (ACR 3.7). I still can not open my .NEF files in Photoshop and when I view the files from Bridge it shows the generic thumbnail image.
    Information that might help:
    PS Version: Photoshop CS2
    ACR Version: Camera Raw 3.7
    Camera: Nikon D60
    Operating Sys: Mac OSX
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The D60 was not supported in ACR 3.7.  In fact, that version was the first to support the D40.  You will have to use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG.  Then you can open those files in ACR 3.7.

  • I can't open .CR2 files in Photoshop CS4

    I'm unable to get the .CR2 files from my new Canon Rebel T3i to open in Photoshop CS4.  I just got this camera and I never had this problem with my old camera (Rebel Xsi).  The raw files from the Xsi will still open, but not the ones from the new camera.  Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?
    Thanks,   Jo

    Just to be perfectly accurate, that would be two options. 
    To use the free Adobe DNG converter, you would download and install the very latest version then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
    1.  Upload the .cr2 files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
    2.  Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
    3.  Convert all the .cr2 files to .dng files.
    4.  Open the .dng files into Photoshop CS4 through the Camera Raw dialog.

  • CS4 downloaded raw 5.7 still cant open cr2 files on windows 8 HELP!!!

    Does CS4 work ok on windows 8 I have purchased a new windows 8 laptop and installed CS4 and I could not open my CR2 files so I downloaded raw 5.7  convertor and still nothong can you please help.

    Your camera, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i EOS 500D EOS Kiss X3 Digital.  Has been supported ever since ACR version 5.4, so ACR 5.7 is the correct one to install.
    Note that we're NOT talking about the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.7, which needs to be launched and run separately from Photoshop or Bridge every time you have a new batch of raw Canon files in order first to convert them to raw DNG files. 
    No, we're talking about ACR 5.7, the Camera Raw plug-in 5.7 that you need to download and install in the precise location strictly according to the precise instructions on the download, and only then re-launch Photoshop and/or Bridge CS.
    If you downloaded the DNG Converter 5.7 by mistake, that's not going to magically or automatically open your raw files.  You need to look for, download and install ACR 5.7 in the correct location.  Here's the link to the Windows ACR 5.7 download:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683
    Installation Instructions
    After downloading a ".zip" file, use the operating system or a utility such as WinZip or PKZIP to access the file's contents.
    Need help with downloading? See our Downloading Help documents.
    This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4.
    To install with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4:
    Manual installation on Windows®:
    1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
    2. Open the download file, double-click Setup.exe, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    3. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
