Converting Canon RAW to PS Raw

Hi Folks, wondering if anybody can help me?
I am taking photos with my Canon DSLR in RAW, file extension .CR2.
When using Canon's Digital Photo Professional,  I am only able to transfer the photo to PS, CS3, in a TIF file.
I wish to be able to work in PS Raw.
I purchased a book, Scott Kelby's 7 point system.
With this book, you download photos from their website and work with their photos with an extension of .NEF
I would wish to also work along with my photos but I am unable to transfer to the same format that PS CS3 recognizes.
CS3
How do I transfer my Canon .CR2 photos to CS3 whish will allow me to work on them in NEF format?
If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. thanks!

If you have CS4 it is, as Ramón says, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 5.3, available here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
If you have CS3, it is ACR 4.6, available here for Windows:

  • Elements 11 will not convert Canon Raw-2 files to tif.

    Dowmnloaded Elements 11 thinking it would convert Canon Raw-2 files to tif, but it will not why?

    Can you open the raw files in the editor ? If yes, simply save your opened file from the editor in whatever format you want. The import dialog in ACR (Adobe raw converter) is only for the in-memory conversion to the Adobe image format; you have to save to the desired file format from the editor.
    If you can't open your raw files, see:

  • Converting Canon raw files

    I use a Canon 30D.  When I convert the raw files with the default Canon software, there are no issues.  However, using Elements 6, the JPEGS appear with lots of jagged edges.  Why would this be?

    Can you post an example?

  • 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:

  • Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

    Daag Kees,
    >[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
    Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
    After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
    >[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
    Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
    >What means "using Bridge" ?
    Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
    Prettige Kerstdagen!

  • Integrating Canon Raw Converter with Aperture (for G9)

    This is a follow up question to an email I posted last night on Apertures incompatibility with Canon G9 Raw Format.
    DOes anyone or has anyone tried to integrate the Canon Raw Converter that came with the G9 in with Aperture? I thought of it this morning. My thought is to identify the Canon Raw converter as the external editor. Changes can be made in Canon RAW then saved. There would be the additional picture created in Aperture that I can modify. Granted the saved format would need to be a jpeg or tiff file format.
    Any thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
    Also, what is a high quality format the file can be saved once changes are made in Canon RAW?
    Thanks

    Using 'Open in External Editor' in Aperture tells Aperture to convert the RAW file to either a TIFF or PSD and send that to the external editor, not the RAW file. So if a camera is unsupported by Aperture you can't use the command...

    Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.

    i have a Canon 6d and would like to convert my raw ( CR2) photo's into dng files. Adobe DNG converter 8.4 doesn't recognise the CR2 files. How can i solve this?

    It is possible that you are not following instructions correctly in the DNG converter. The DNG converter interface asks for the FOLDER that contains your raw images. Choose the folder, but don't open it. After you have chosen the folder, click on the Convert button. The DNG conversion process should start.  Does that help you?

    You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7. Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • DNG Converter 5.4 will not convert Canon 500d .cs2 raw files

    Hello
    I downloaded the DNG Converter 5.4 to try and convert the raw files from my new Canon 500d.
    I got an error message stating "the file could not be created."
    Has anyone with the same camera got the dng 5.4 converter to work with the 500d yet???
    I am running osx 10.5.6 (latest version)
    I know I should have checked before spending over £1000 pounds on a new setup that the camera will work in lightroom. I am very upset with myself.
    If anyone can help let me know.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'm running Windows XP - downloaded and installed both DNG Converter and ACR 5.4.  Found a 500d raw file on the Internet and downloaded, opened ok in the DNG converter, produced a .dng file that then opened successfully in ACR.  And the raw file also opened in ACR.
    I would first check the installation process, perhaps someone on the forum with both 10.5 and a 500d can testify.  Or if they have just 10.5 do the same as I did and download a test file.

  • Can't open Canon RAW files in LR1.3, Photoshop, Bridge

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with some Canon RAW image files a second photographer sent me. He sent about 800 files and I'm only able to import into LR (1.3) about 15% of the files. The remainder will not import. Upon import, LR says something to this effect: "files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I tried them on both of my macs (my G5 and laptop) and had the same thing happened. Photoshop says: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    They show with this icon: file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%203.png
    When I do the "get info" on these files, under "General:" it says, e.g., that a file is a 10.8MB file. Under the "More info:" box, it says the dimensions are 0x0 (that's weird because when I look at this for other good files there are numbers for the dimensions).
    This is a picture of the "get info" window:
    file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%201.png
    I have tried to open these files in LR, Photoshop, Bridge and Preview and nothing will open these.
    The files are locked so I unlocked one, but that made no difference whatsoever.
    I noticed one thing about the naming convention on the files,but I don't think this matters. My own Canon RAW files always have the .CR2 extension. All of his files have the .cr2 extension. Mine are all uppercase and his are lowercase. However, I don't think this could matter because the files I was able to download of his all had the .cr2 extension, just like the ones I couldn't download.
    (PS: Just in case you saw my earlier posting, this problem has nothing to do with that. This is another second photographer's files that I'm having problems with. Jonathon LeFaive solved that other problem for me.)
    Thank you for any help you can provide! Martha

    LR 3 is a complete new build so it will not overwrite the earlier version of LR 1.3 or its catalog or other settings.
    The install procedure will recognize your LR 1.3 catalog and ask if you wish to create/ convert to a LR 3 catalog. This procedure will not overwrite your 1.3 catalog but will create a LR 3 compatable copy.
    Download the trial which is good for 30 days before you will need to pay the upgrade price of $99 if you decide to keep. The trial is the full package and you will not be restricted in any way.
    The new features are a substantial upgrade with significant improvement in the conversion output of your raw files.
    Full details are provided in the "read me file" included with the download which should be read carefully before you install. The decision should be a no brainer.

  • Lost support for CR2 (Canon RAW) in After Effects following AdobeCameraRAW 8.4.0.199 update

    Has Adobe dropped Canon RAW support in After Effects?
    I do timelapses.  I grade in Lightroom, create xmps, then drag the folder containing the CR2s and xmps from the Finder window into After Effects to create the sequence.
    I was post-processing timelapses in After Effects on April 7th, 2014.  I then receive an update notification for Camera Raw 8.4.0.199.  I closed all open apps and updated.  Once the update had finished, I reopened the same project in After Effects, to find that After Effects no longer supports CR2 (Canon RAW).
    Can't work with old projects containing CR2, likewise can't import new folders from the Finder window by clicking and dragging, or otherwise.   Can't even import a single still CR2 file into After Effects since updating.
    Error ( 39 :: 7 )
    iMac 10.1 (maxed out)
    MBP Retina 10.1 (maxed out)
    CS6 Production Premium
    Lightroom 5
    Same results on both computers since updating.

    Thanks Rick,
    Though this workflow may be valid from this point on, I unfortunately have a library of around 11 TB of CR2 images that I use on a regular basis in After Effects.  Going back and converting these images to DNG or JPEG would equate to an immesurable amount of time lost, not to mention the massive amount of additional hard drive space that would be required.
    I've used this workflow on an almost daily basis for two and half years.  I've only experienced a similar problem when Lightroom upgraded to version 5.  AdobeCameraRaw was buggy when linking to other Adobe apps, but the problem was soon taken care of by Adobe.
    Adobe still advertises CR2 support for After Effects 11 on their website.  It worked without a hitch until the recent update.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems?
    Where can I find the install page for legacy versions of AdobeCameraRaw?

  • Awful canon raw conversion for photos with dramatic (i.e. underwater) non-standard white balance

    I'm shooting underwater (and white balancing as I shoot using a white disc) with a canon s90, and have noticed that the raw conversions done by aperture are way worse than those from jpegs when I shoot in raw+jpeg and those done by raw processing using the canon digital photo professional software. In particular, reds are pretty much lost. It may be a false lead, but I notice that in aperture, the rgb histogram shows a dramatic spike of the red channel on the far right (possibly clipping?) that doesn't show up in the rgb histogram in the canon software.
    I'm not sure whether this is related to the plethora of threads about canon raw processing and overly green output. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? I could batch convert to tiff in the canon software but I'd really rather not do that... For one thing the 16bit tiff files are so much bigger than the raws and it is an annoying extra step. Also, note that I can't just batch fix the white balance because (a) I'm having a hard time getting aperture to do it properly (possibly b/c the red channel is clipped as far as the aperture UI is concerned?) and (b) The white-balance changes from picture to picture as I change depth, which is the whole reason I white-balance as I'm shooting in the first place..
    I've attached two versions of a picture, one of which I processed the raw in aperture and one of which I processed the raw (and converted to TIFF to give to aperture) in the canon software. I then exported both as small jpegs from aperture.
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (correct):
    Aperture RAW processing (very wrong):

    >Is MS Picture Viewer a colour managed application? I don't know, but don't think so. Lightroom is however which might be the cause of your problems.
    Not in XP. In vista it is color managed. From the sound of it, the problem is a bad monitor profile but you might also have a corrupt Lightroom database. You need to recalibrate the monitor and NEVER use canned profiles from the monitor manufacturer. They are almost always corrupt. As a very last resort, you can use sRGB as the monitor profile (delete any profile found in the windows display properties) but only to hold you over until you can really calibrate it. The other problems with weird errors are pretty worrisome though. Do you also get them when you start a fresh catalog?

  • How do I open .CR2 Canon Raw Files in PS Elements 8 for iMac

    When I open a .CR2 Canon Raw File (Canon T3i camera) in PSE 8 for iMac, I get all greys - no color.  It is showing as color as a .CR2 on my desktop - when I bring it into PSE, it is grey.  I chose first 16 bit, then 8 bit.  Same result.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.  George

    Thank you Barbara for pointing this out. Since I'm new to forum stuff so missed the catch here. Got exactly same information as you posted. Got to know that ACR 6.2 doesn't support T3i files. It's ACR 6.4 which supports them but is incompatible with PSE8 ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html ).
    So the solution seems to be either upgrade to a newer version of Elements or download the free DNG Converter ( http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html ) and convert the raw files to DNG.
    Thanks again for correcting me here

  • 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.
