CS 5.1 -64 Photoshop [Camera RAW] *.CR2 raw import error

Hi folks.
When try to open a RAW file into Photoshop (Camera RAW), error message occur:
"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model witch is not supported by the installed version of Camera RAW".
This photo was shot by a Canon S-100 camera witch of course are listed up as supported file format, in help site for Camera RAW. So, what to do here?
I'm for sure, the latest Photoshop CS 5.1 (From master collection) are installed (seperate install).
Any tip, received with great thanks!

What OS are you using? Camera Raw support for that camera was added in ACR 6.6. The latest version of ACR supported by CS5 is 6.7.1.

Canon 40D RAW (CR2) Files import

I've Photoshop and Aperture. Cannot install Elements which would be my preference - so help needed here.
Also - I use iPhoto mostly in the latest Apple OS, yet I cannot import Canon 40D RAW files. I get an error message saying they could not be imported - import failed.
Help please.

Freshacre:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What version of PS Elements are you trying to install? I've installed the PSE 6 demo without any problem.
What type of files are you trying to import and from where?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.

Imported items not in folder Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer; when import error states already in catalog

I have several folders that are in the same folder in Windows. Most folders are visible, but some are not. I attempted moved the folders I could not see in organizer to a folder not in the watch list. Re-booted, and tried to move them back into the watch folder. It started the process of importing into Organizer, but failed and stated already in catalog, the they are not visible. I've uninstalled Photoshop, moved items off the machine, re-installed Photoshop and moved the files back to the watch folder. But still, not all folders will show up. Looked at all settings I could find that could impact. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

Can't open Camera Raw (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3?

I can't seem to open Camera Raw CR2 files in Photoshop CS3, my CameraRaw plug in version says it's 4.6 - any help appreciated.

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

You have two options with Photoshop.
Upgrade to CS4 so you can use the latest Adobe Camera Raw plug-in, or use the DNG converter from the Downloads page above to make readable versions of your CR2 files.

Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

Hi Folks,
I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Doug...

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm1:2.8 USM)
Many thanks!

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Is 5d mark II raw (CR2) file different from CR2 file from 5d? Adobe Camera Raw error on mk II not 5d

I use Photoshop Camera Raw plugin (Adobe) to preprocess color, then finish image preparation in Photoshop. Never a problem opening CR2 files, usually from my own 5d camera. But a customer sent a few CR2 files that won't open (error says it is wrong kind of document). So far no explanation or fixes from Photoshop users... thought I would ask the Canon experts. Why would CR2 file from 5d mk II fail but CR2 files from 5d all open ok?
Still using Photoshop CS2, and the Camera Raw plugin is v 3.7. I really want to continue this workflow (works for me), prefer not to experiment with dpp or other possibilities. Not ready to upgrade yet to Photoshop CS6.

I have a photographer friend who has used Photoshop for years and basically never used anything else. He bought his 5D III from a store which was offering a free copy of Lightroom with the purchase. He didn't buy because of the incentive... he bought his camera and a copy of Lightroom came with it. He put it on the shelf to collect dust.
One day we're out shooting and somehow get onto the topic of how he's processing his images and I mention Lightroom to him (I use Aperture, but that's for Mac users only -- he's on a PC). He tells me has it... it's on the shelf... he never installed it.
I gave him my "are you crazy" look and then proceeded to tell him why he needs to learn to use Lightroom. He now pretty much just uses Lightroom and is much happier for it.
I'll sum up (again... I'm an Aperture user but Lightroom was designed to fend off Apple from taking over in photography.)
Photoshop is NOT made for photographers. It's made for people working in graphics arts and publishing, etc.
Apple, recognizing that the tool was awkward for photography made a tool targeted specifically at professional photographers...and Aperture was born. Adobe, seeing this as the very real threat that it is, realized they'd better get busy. Adobe produced Lightroom. Both are targeted to photographers and NOT to those in graphics arts or publishing.
I think of Aperture and LIghtroom as being outstanding at image management for large collections of photos and also outstanding when you come back to your office with cards loaded with images that now all need to be processed.
This is a painful long and tedius task of opening things image by image in Photoshop.... but a breeze to do in Aperture or Lightroom. You don't actually open images... you import the entire contents of the card into your library and now you can breeze through them apply adjustments as needed. Some types of global adjustments such as "white balance" can be applied to every image in the shoot as long as it was taken in the same lighting. No need to do that image by image... you adjust one, then select all the other images shot in the same light and tell it to apply the same adjustments. Don't try that in Photoshop... you'll injure yourself.
Lastly... Photoshop is a "destructive" editior. You can take precautions to try to make sure you don't actually edit any original data, but the tool WILL let you change original data if you aren't careful. Aperture and Lightroom are non-destructive by their very nature.
I find that with Aperture or Lightroom that I still do need to open an image in Photoshop. Aperture and Lightroom can't do everything. They do not, for example, allow you to create composit images by combining elements of multiple other images. But I will say it's not often that I need to open something in Photoshop anymore.
If you are a photographer and you've been using Photoshop because that's what you know... you _really_ need to evaluate one of the tools which were actually intended for use by photographers.

Can't upgrade Photoshop Elements 9.0 to ANYTHING: unable to open Canon CR2 Raw files

I will start this post w/ the comment that I am completely fed-up with Adobe, and am not surprised at the troubles its having considering how completely **** it's ancillary services on its products are. Outside of the actual editing capabilities of their software (the only reason I and most people use their software) they have bungled UI, design, updates, and product support.
On to my issue.
I have a Mac, I have OSX 10.9.4 installed, I also own a copy of Photoshop elements. I recently wiped and reinstalled my OS, and thus reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9.0.
It doesn't support Canon .cr2 files, Canon Raw image files. I have wasted nearly 2 hours running in circles, and registering for every ******* stupid adobe mailing list, and cloud product, forum ID, that exists, all at adobes insistence without getting any sort of answer.
1. There is no update function. The menu item HELP>UPDATE ... DOES NOT EXIST, every update must be done manually.
2. I can't download and install any of the most recent Camera RAW plugins because they require the most update version of PSE9.0.
3. I manually downloaded both update 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 and was required to download two additional pieces of Adobe software, which at best are useless, and at worst are malware the cloud services OSX plugin, and the Adobe App and Install Manager.
4. When I run either update patch, I get the error message "This update is not applicable for you" and then information to contact customer support, which then circuitously and deviously reroutes me through a series of stupid questions.
5. Ultimately I came here and have searched the forums and don't have an answer to my question yet.
Questions.
1. Why can't I install updates 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 to my PSE 9.0 for Mac OSX
2. I don't give a f#*K about the updates, I just want to open canon RAW CR2 files.
I wish someone else produced even moderately decent photo editing software, I'd rid myself of adobe.

The raw files from the 5D should open OK but the files from the EOS-M require PSE11 or PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files from the EOS-M 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 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6

Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

You need to buy PSE13.

Canon EOS D60 CR2 raw images don't open in Photoshop. Why?

I know this question has been asked many times but I couldn't find a thread with an answer. I have just taken my first images with my Canon EOS D60 (upgraded from 1000D) and find that the CR2 raw images aren't recognised by Photoshop. I remember I had this issue when I first had my 1000D but cannot remember what I did. I have CS4 V11.0.2 and tried to update Camera Raw but it says no updates are available. I have Lightroom 3 and that opens them ok but not Photoshop. Sorry .... but can anyone tell me again what the problem is? Thanks. :-(

You can get support for the latest cameras in CS2, CS3 and CS4 through our FREE DNG Converter:
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4923
Win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4924
There are other benefits to using DNG besides backward compatibility if you haven’t explored those:
The metadata, keywords and RAW adjustments are stored in the file – along with a processed preview of the image. This makes the file portable and keeps your metadata safe and secure.
DNG files are smaller than the original RAW file which will save you disk space and time in the long run.
DNG is an openly specified file format which means the file format isn’t going away. So if you use another RAW processor that supports DNG, you don’t have to worry about compatibility or portability of your metadata.

IPhoto '09 not importing Camera Raw (.CR2) files

Recently purchased a new Mac Pro and tried to import my Camera Raw files from a supported camera. iPhoto refuses to import (unrecognized file format) files. Does anyone know the solution? I have over 1,700 camera raw (.CR2) files I need to import.

Larry,
Cameras were Canon 20D and 50D. Until yesterday both were using the sRAW color space - switched them to Adobe RAW today. Problem was the 1,700 pictures with sRAW colorspace taken over the past few years - no issue importing into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (not surprising at it uses its own libraries), problem was only with iPhoto. I had what iPhoto reported as the latest update to Camera Raw, however when I browsed the Apple support pages I found v3.0 which I installed. That fixed the problem as it now has sRAW support for Canon cameras.
Only issue that remains is importing of DNG formatted pictures. iPhoto will not import those, which is hard to understand as it is becoming the defacto cross platform format for RAW files.
I don't recall having this issue on my older MacBook using an older version of iPhoto and older libraries...
Anyway, good news is that v3.0 fixed the problem.
Thanks.

Canon 6d camera. Cannot view CR2 Raw files in my iMac folders.

I have just updated my camera from Canon 500D to 6D full frame and I am unable to view any of the raw files in the Mac pictures files. I don't use iphoto or aperture preferring to use the in built pictures folders.
I had Photoshop Elements 9 and have updated to Elements 12. If I say take twenty raw images and load into my iMac they show up as a thumbnail with an image number and not a lot else. This is clearly not helpful when trying to view images before editing. Yes I can use Canon software DPP but hey ho I like the Apple pictures folders for storing my images. The raw CR2 files from the 6D are of course different to the CR2 files that I used to create on my old camera 500D
Can someone help so I can actually see a thumbnail of the actual raw images in my iMac pictures folders?
Many thanks

I'm having this problem as well. I have had my 6d for a while and it worked fine before the software upgrade a few weeks ago.
I can get my pictures imported into iPhoto, but they only import as JPG, not the RAW files that sit in the camera. Before the software upgrage, I could get the mac to recognise the Canon 6d and import the RAW files directly from it. Now I can't get the mac to recognise the camera at all.
I want to process in Lightroom but they import as jpgs and they all just look wrong!
Somebody please help!
Thank you.

Camera Raw CR2 import fail

Hi Guys
Doing some timelapse stuff at the moment and trying to use cr2 raw files with CS4 After Effects
I have Camera Raw plug-in 5.7
The .CR2 open fine in Photoshop but I get the good old error 45::35 cannot parse file when I try to open in After Effects. I'd normally check the colour space/format but in this case I'm using a 3rd party program that suggests a workflow which imports Raw CR2's into AE.
Is this possible to import CR2's into AE or do I have to convert everything to tiff's/jpegs first?
Cheers
Rob.

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (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) Try a differnt download (7.3 the latest) if DNG did not work before.
