Cant Open Raw Photos

I have a new Cannon 70D camera. I shot RAW photos this past weekend and downloaded the photos to my computer. I try to open them in Photoshop Elements 10 and I get a message that they are in the wrong format. My photos have .CR2 on them. Got any ideas? Does this new camera require a upgrade in Photoshop? What could be wrong?

Most probably you will require a new PSE to edit these photos directly but you don't have to because there are various ways to get this going:
1) First make sure that your PSE is up to date by going to:
Help >> Upgrades
2) Next download DNG convertor from Adobe website. For windows the link is here:

3) To use the DNG convertor, you can view this video:

This should almost take care of your requirements.

I cant open raw photos in cs4

i cant open raw photos in cs4 with the canon 5d mark 3 the plug in doesnt work

The Canon 5D Mark 3 requires Camera Raw 7.1 or higher.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to 5.7
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
To open Raw 5D Mk 3 photos you'll have to either:
a) upgrade to CS6, or
b) join the Adobe Cloud and get CS6
Alternatively, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/12/camera-raw-7-3-and-dng-converter-7-3-now-a vailable.html
Convert all the Raw images to DNG then edit the DNGs in CS4.

I can't open RAW photos (new canon eos 5.1) in bridge (cs5.1)- just get the logo

Why can't I can't open RAW photos (from an new canon eos 5.1) in Bridge (cs 5.1)- just get the logo, no thumbnail, works in Finder.

Ah ha!
At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

If you want to remove them all, connect your iPad to your computer via iTunes. Once your iPad is recognized on the left side, click on the device once to open it in iTunes. Click on Photos and uncheck Sycn All Photos and click apply and they will be removed.

Can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. is there a solution?

i'm using a Nikon D3300 and can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. none of the plugins i've tried worked.
please help. i really don't want to have to buy a new version of elements or a new computer.

Hi,
Unfortunately the Nikon D3300 requires camera raw 8.4 which is not compatible with PSE 10.
Even worse, the DNG Converter 8.4 will not run on a XP or Vista comtuter.
I don't know if the software that came with the D3300 will run on the XP system but if it does, your only option would be to use it to convert the NEF files to TIF files and then PSE 10 will be able to use the TIF files.
I think that you really need to think about upgrading your system sooner than later.

I cant open raw files in my cannon 7d

i have a cannon 7D cant open raw files in elements 11

Here are what versions of Camera Raw support what models of cameras:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Here are what versions of Adobe software use what versions of Camera Raw:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Cross-referencing these two lists, it would appear that the PSE11 updated to its maximum ACR version of 8.0 will read DMC-G5 raws, and XZ2 raws, but not 70D raws, which you'll need PSE12 updated to ACR 8.3 to work with.
What version of ACR do you have for your PSE11? Use Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw to find out.

Opening RAW photos in PSE 8

I have recently bought PSE 8. When I had my Canon 350D I could use it to edit RAW photos. I have just bought a Canon 550D and PSE 8 cant open any RAW photos now for editing.

I went to the Adobe site and from new downloads found the Camera
Raw 5.7 update for windows. Here is link
to the pdf instructions
http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
I created a new folder on desktop and moved the current Camera Raw.8bi file to that folder. then copied the new file in its place. opened elements and bingo it worked perfect.

?unable to open raw photo file after downloading camera raw 7.4 update?

Can anyone help please.
I recently had my lap top wiped and have had to re load CS6. I have also downloaded the camera raw 7.4 update (I use a Nikon D7100 camera) The update downloads without any problems, I go through download, install and then finish, but I still am unable to open my raw photos. I get the following message... 'if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest raw camera update installed'. I have no idea why it is doing this, or how to combat it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Gail

Hi Benjamin,
You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
Many many thanks! Cheers

Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955

Cant open RAW files from Nikon D300S

I have a Nikon D300S. I can't open RAW files in Adobe CS4. Screen message is 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'. I understood from this Adobe website that the fix was to download Camera Raw 5_5. I've done that and the same screen message appears. What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do to fix the problem.   If you can list a step by step process in the plainest terms possible then that would be appreciated. Thanks

Firstly thanks to all who are trying to assist. I appreciate your spending time on this.   Hopefully this additional info will help:
(1) the camera is a Nikon D300s. I'm not aware of any model details beyond this   It was bought c9 months ago.
(2) I bought Adobe CS4 before buying the Nikon D300s.   I've used CS4 to convert RAW files from my other cameras - a Nikon D2H and a Minolta Dimage - without any bother at all.
(3) CS4 is loaded onto my Windows based PC in to the Windows 'Downloads' folder. I'm not using any Mac computers.
(4) The procedure I followed to upload the Adobe files was:
(a) I clicked 'Help' - About Plug-in - Camera Raw. Info on screen says 'Version 5.0.0.178
(b) In looking at the Adobe support web pages (I can't now find which one it was) it indidated I should check for updates. I downloaded and saved Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate. Its filed in my 'Downloads' folder in Windows.
(c) I used the Adobe search engine using an enquiry "CS4 Camera Raw Updates'. This produced a page with box at the top and 2 headings 'Digital camera raw file support' and 'Adobe camera raw and DNG convertor downloads'. Under this second heading there are choices to click for Widows and Mac OS. I selected Windows. The result produces a list of Updates / Programmes.   I selected Adobe DNG Convertor 5.5 update and Camera Raw 5.5 update and downloaded both into my Windows 'Downloads' folder. I chose these because according to the list info they were relevanf for the Nikon D300s. I attempted to open a photo taken from the D300s in Raw and the photo would not open - the usual '......not the right document' message.
(d) from Forum contributions I then deleted version 5.5 of both files downloaded at (c) above and installed version 5.7 and then tried to view the Raw image again, Same result. This is the up to date position as at this post.
Have I missed a step somewhere? eg should there be a step forcing a link from the downloaded updates to CS4 or do the downloads automatically link to CS4 when the download is complete?
Any furhter help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks.

Opening RAW photo in editor - cannot add a layer or make adjustments.

Greetings - I have recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 13. I have a Nikon and I am shooting in RAW. Recently I have found that when I open a photo in the Editor - the vast majority of actions are grayed out. I cannot add a layer - or make other adjustments to the photo. I am opening the photo - it opens in ACR - and then I click on Open button. This is where the trouble is. I have checked the photo bin and in other areas of my computer and the photo is not open in another area. Please see the screen shot of the editor with the photo - I have tried several photos opening them directly from my computer and from the organizer and I am getting the same issue. I do hope you can help -

You will be using a 16 bit image and need to change to 8 bits.
You can do that in the camera raw dialog before sending the image into the regular editor. There is a dropdown menu to the left of the Open Image button. Or you can do it inside the regular editor using the top menu:
Image >> Mode >> 8 Bits/Channel

Opening RAW photos from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera

I am trying to open without success RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera after downloading and installing Camera Raw 8.6. What is my problem?

Can you upload one of these raw files that don't work for you to a place like www.dropbox.com and post public download link to it? Either something is wrong/different with the files from your camera or something is wrong with the software on your computer. Being able to test a file on someone else's computer would help narrow down which.
FWIW, I can open a sample FZ1000 rw2 file in PS-CC2014/ACR 8.6 from here:
http://img.photographyblog.com/reviews/panasonic_lumix_dmc_fz1000/sample_images/panasonic_ lumix_dmc_fz1000_18.rw2
You might try downloading this specific image and see if it works for you or not.

Cant open raw+jpeg

Hi- have a Canon 50D and went to download to Macbook and now the files show .igy in front of image numbers- get message saying cant open them- this is all the info I have as a friend was using the camera and there not sure what they did to it- any help would be appreciated
-Tommy

Are you sure images are showing "igy" in front of the file number?
They should show IMGxxxx.JPG or IMGxxxx.CR2 (if the camera is set to use sRGB color space)
or
_MGxxxx.JPG and _IMGxxxx.CR2 (if the camera is set to use Adobe RGB color space).
When shooting RAW + JPEG, you should see one of each for every file number.
In all cases the "xxxx" would be the sequential file number between 0001 and 9999.
50D cannot shoot video, so there are no types of video files possible.
There is no way to prevent 50D from using these file number conventions. In other words, nothing can be changed in the camera by the user... except the choice of sRGB or Adobe RGB color space, which determine whether an "I" or an underscore are used at the beginning of the file name.
If the file name is showing something different, that change must be happening when you are importing the images from the memory card to your computer. What method do you use? Is it set to rename the files during import? (I just use a drag and drop to copy or move the files from the folder on the memory card to a folder on the computer that I've prepared in advance... In other words, I don't use any software-based import.)
If the file extension has been changed accidentally, you should be able to edit it and change it back. Don't mix up the .CR2 and .JPG though. The CR2 files will always be the much larger of the two.
