Converting Canon S90 CR2 files with DNG 5.6

I have converted files from my S90 with the latest version of DNG Converter. When I compare the DNG file to the original CR2 file, there is a marked increase in saturation, and also more noise. Am I doing something wrong with the conversion? Help please. I am using Adobe RAW 4.6 with Photoshop CS3. Comparative files can be viewed at http://dobbino.blogspot.com/2009/11/dng-converter-canon-s90-raw-files.html

Getting Canon S90 CR2 files off my iPad to my PC

Using the camera connection kit, I transferred a number of Canon S90 CR2 files to my iPad. That worked fine as it always does.
But how do I get them onto my PC?
Canon Camera Window says it does not find any "camera", when the iPad is plugged in.
Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Scanner and Camera Wizards do not recognise CR2 files.
Nikon Transfer finds jpeg and NEF files, but obviously not CR2 files.
Is there any trick I have missed, or any other software I should try?
The CR2 files display well on the iPad, and I can open them in for example Filterstorm to convert them to jpeg, but that is not really a solution long term.

I can confirm that this works with Lightroom 3.3 on a PC, with Canon CR2 files. On the iPad, use the camera connection kit to import your photos. Later, start Lightroom and connect your ipad to the PC. Start Import in Lightroom. The iPad will appear as a device (be patient) and you can then import as normal. Only Imported Folders and Saved Photo folders will appear.
A simpler way though is to connect your ipad to the PC and use Explorer. Quit iTunes. The iPad should be listed under Computer. Click on that, then Internal STORAGE, then DCIM. the folders listed with cryptic names such as 800AAAA are for Saved Photos, Current Import, etc.
You cannot see your synched photos, but then why would you want to?

Can't convert CR2 files with DNG converter

After buying the Canon T2i, I realized that the files (CR2) won't open in PS. I did my research and found that the dng converter was the thing I need. Unfortunately, the converter won't recognize and convert the CR2 files that I try to convert.
I am guessing I will probably get a reply telling me I should have done my research before I bought the camera (as I have seen in other forums), but I am hoping for a more productive (and less offensive) answer.
Thanks!

I see a lot of answers speaking about having the most up to date version of the Camera RAW Plug-in. I have a similar issue with my .CR2 files... I cannot open them in Camera RAW because it tells me that my camera model or make is not supported by the Plug-in, and so I was directed by other forums to just try converting the .CR2 files to .DNG. I already had the Adobe DNG Converter (version 6.5 I believe), so I tried this. It too told me that my files or camera make were not supported. However, I have always been able to successfully both open my .CR2 files AND convert them to .DNG. I had not updated anything on my camera nor on my Adobe programs and for some reason this last attempt to open RAW files failed me... I have no idea what change would have led to it. Luckily I shopt in both RAW and Large JPG but I certainly don't want to rely on my JPGs of course... Any idea why this problem might have arisen now if it had always worked easily in the past?
Thanks!

CS3 Camera Raw PlugIn for Canon S90 .CR2 files

What plug in is needed for Photoshop CS3 to read the .CR2 files from my Canon S90 camera, and where can I get it?

The S90 is not yet officially supported by Camera Raw.
Eventually, when it is supported, you can use the latest version of the DNG Converter to process a S90 raw file into a DNG file, which can then be read in CS3 (e.g., using Camera Raw 4.6). This will enable you to perform S90 raw processing in CR 4.6.

DNG Converter Not Recognizing .CR2 Files

I have a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and CS3, so I cannot view the CR2 files from the 5D in Bridge in their native format. I read all the posts and upgraded to ACR 4.6, then upgraded the camera profiles to those in the ACR 5.2 package (the one that includes the 5D Mark II).
I then read that I need the DNG Converter to generate DNG files from the CR2 files, so I have installed DNG 6.3.
Problem now is that the DNG Converter will not recognize any CR2 files on my machine, neither the new 5D Mark II CR2 files of my old Rebel CR2 files. When I navigate to a folder containing CR2 files with DNG it says "No images have been selected" in the "Select images to convert" section of the GUI.
I have no idea what to do, I need to get the DNG Converter working to view the files from my new camera in Bridge. Help!

I wish I could say your solution worked - but it didn't! I have a Canon T2i, the very latest version of the Adobe "converter" (8.4) - and it refuses to recognize/find any Canon RAW (i.e. CR2) files. My desktop is 2 years old with lot of horsepower, Win 7, plain vanilla etc.
Step 1: Folder Selected ("Bonaire 2006")
folder selected.jpg
2. When I press "Convert", I get:
No CR2 files recognized.jpg
Another view of the problem:
after getting this: (BTW "Bonaire" is stuffed with CR2 files). Same problem all folders
no items match your search - say what.jpg
I've used a thousand utility programs for any number of purposes - something is amiss here - prompts or not!

Unable to convert my canon cr2 files to DNG

I cannot convert my caonon 1200d cr2 files for DNG on my vista machine as the latest version of adobe raw convertor will not run on my vista machine/..@

Your CR2 files require Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 or higher and as you have discovered ACR8.4 is not compatible with older operating systems.
ACR8.3 was the final update to raw support for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.6.
You should have a copy of Canon DPP with your EOS utility disks. You will need to install and use that, until you get a new computer. You can convert CR2 into tiff or go straight to jpeg, using DPP.

Problem Converting Canon CR2 Files to DNG

I am currently on holiday, shooting photos with my Canon 70D in raw (CR2), and I have my Macbook Air with me, with Lightroom 5.4 installed on it. After each day's shooting, I have been putting the flash card from the camera into the laptop, and downloading the photos using Lightroom, converting the CR2 files to DNG in the process. This was working fine until a couple of days ago when suddenly, Lightroom has decided that it can no longer do the conversion. It displays the photos on the card, it allows me to choose the ones I want to download, and then it tells me that it cannot convert/download them because it cannot read the files. Well, if it cannot read the files, how can it display them so that I can make my choices? And why, after working successfully for weeks, am I suddenly getting this error message ... nothing has changed in my hardware or software in either the camera or computer. Any and all help would be most appreciated. Thank you!!

Thanks very much for the answer, but I'm afraid it is not very enlightening ... at least to someone like me. I do not understand where I would look for a write permission issue ... especially since nothing has changed (as far as I know). Can you give me any further help? Thanks!

Question on converting edited CR2 files to DNG

Sorry, I cannot find a separate DNG forum. If this question is in the wrong place, please direct me to the correct forum.
I have lots of CR2 RAW files on my computer, and I am considering converting them to DNG. Many of these RAW files have already been edited and so have a separate XMP sidecar file containing the edits in the same folder. If I convert (using the Adobe DNG converter) these edited RAW files to DNG, what is converted? The CR2 RAW file alone, so that the converted DNG file is the same as the original unedited CR2 file? If so, what happens to the orphaned XMP file? Ignored?
My concern is that I will lose all RAW edits if I convert to DNG because the conversion process ignores the edits contained in the separate XMP file.
Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

So what you're saying is that the DNG conversion de-mosaics the image? I guess that's not surprising, since for compatibility with older Photoshop versions you'd have to deliver a more or less standardized format.
Kind of throws a big monkey wrench into claims that converting to DNG is functionally equivalent to opening raw images directly though... I was experimenting with a "fall leaves" image last night and no matter what I tried with the 2010 process I was still able to get more detail in bright red leaves with the 2003 process.
I suppose that says if you want maximum flexibility and control you'd better buy the Photoshop upgrades and stick to opening raw camera files directly. A variant on the "if you want to play you have to pay" adage.
-Noel
P.S., Does the DNG converter read the centralized database as well as XMP files? I personally prefer the database to the extra files.

Open Canon 6D, CR2 files in Elements 10

I recently upgraded my camera to the Canon 6D. Took loads of great pictures only to find that when I tried to open them in Elements 10 the programme didn't support them!!!
I've search and trolled through every forum I can find lookong for a solution, to no avail! Can some one please help or do I simply just have to upgrade (again) to Elements 11?
Thanks for any help I may receive in advance, furious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the supported cameras list, the 6D was first supported by ACR 7.3, which is newer than PSE10:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You can buy PSE12 which comes with ACR 8.x, or you can convert your CR2 files to DNGs, a folder at a time, with the free DNG Converter 8.2 and open them with the older Elements ACR plug-in.
The DNG Converter is available from the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
I’d suggest downloading the trial for PSE12 and make sure it works on your system before paying for it.

Cannot Open CR2 Files with v6.0

I recently bought a Canon 7D and discovered that I cannot open its CR2 files with Elements 6.0. Am I forced to upgrade to a new version?

canon 7D is supported in only in Elements 8 and above. Now you have two options:
(1) Upgrade to later PSE versions.
(2) Download and install the free Adobe 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 click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

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:

I can't convert .cr2 canon raw files with DNG converter.

I have a Canon 1000D, and im trying to open RAW files to edit in cs4. Everytime i open it, photoshop says that it doesnt recognise this type of file, but i open my friends RAW file (450D) and it can read it. I have also downloaded DNG converter, and it comes up with this message (first image) but my folder has .cr2 files......im really lost
I have also asked for help on the photoshop forum, but they referred me here...
Thanks

That file is only 2.7 megabytes. Raw files are usually larger. That likely means it's truncated (cut off prematurely).
You haven't selected one of the modes called sRAW (Small Raw) have you?

Working with canon 6d CR2 files not possible without converting to DNG?

I have a brand-new down on 60 camera which generates CO2 files. Unfortunately I have not been able to edit any of my photos using Adobe camera raw or bridge or Photoshop without converting to DND files. Do you and you files are larger than the CR to file sizes and therefore I don't like them. Is there anyway for me to work directly on my Cr2 files like I did on my NEF files when I had the nikon? Yes my Photoshop is up-to-date.

What version of Photoshop are you using, and what version of Camera Raw plug-in (ACR) are you using?
If your camera is a 6D then you need Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7.3 or newer to open the CR2 files.
If your camera is a 60D then you need Photoshop CS5 and ACR 6.2 or newer to open the CR2 files.

Converting Canon .CR2 files to .dng

I have what appears to be the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter (8.6.0.254); but when I direct it to a folder containing .CR2 files from my Canon PowerShot G7X camera, it tells me "No items match your search" and does no conversion. How can I convert this type of RAW file to .DNG?

I don't understand your question. Here is what I do in the Digital Negative Converter:
- Step 1 is "Select the images to convert"; I click on "Select folder" and navigate to the folder containing a .CR2 file
- in that window, I see "No items match your search." even though it contains a .CR2 file from my Canon camera. Whether I then click on Select or Cancel makes no difference, since the program does not recognize any files.
- If despite that, I click on Convert, I receive an error message "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
In other words, .CR2 raw files are not being recognized by the latest released production version of the converter.

Canon 450D CR2 Files compatible with Photoshop Elements 7?

I have recently bought a Canon 450D camera and have noticed that the RAW CR2 images produced are not compatible with my Photoshop CS2 version. I'm not sure about upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop since I probably wouldn't use all the features but I would probably upgrade to Elements 7. Is Elements 7 completely compatible with my Canon CR2 files and has anyone else used this combination and been impressed with the results?
Thanks.

The 450D came out after CS2 was obsolete so you need at least CS3 to read 450D RAW files.
Elements 7, being the current version, would support the 450D RAW files; however, I use CS4 and LR2 with my RAW files so cannot say how good PSE is or isn't.
The other option is to convert the RAW files to DNG with the latest free DNG Converter and then use CS2 with the DNGs.
If you have a dual or quad-core system with at least 2GB of memory, I'd suggest using Lightroom.
