CS5 & CR2

I'm currently running the 30-day trial of CS5 Extended 64-bit, on a Windows 7 PC with 8GB of memory. In two days, I'll receive a copy of CS5 (not extended), so in effect, I just about own it.
Before purchasing CS5 and CS3, I read a lot about folks having problems opening their RAW files or not being able to display them as thumbnails when preparing to open one of them. I read about possible fixes and the need to have the most up to date version of the Camera Raw software.
While running the CS5 software, I've noticed that if I intend to open a CR2 image taken from my Canon 5D Mark II, the popup that would display the thumbnail images of JPG images, does not display the CR2 images. All that is seen is a generic icon with the image number.
I've checked the Camera Raw plugin and it has a version number of 6.1.0.250. Although this isn't enough of a malfunction to stop me from upgrading to CS5, it seems a shame that the highest level of the CS Family can't display these CR2 images and every other image program that I have, including free ones such as FastStone Image viewer, can display them.
So the question is, can this be corrected?
Thanx...

Adobe does not provide a Canon .CR2 raw file codec that will allow you to display thumbnails of your images in Explorer (and the Adobe File - Open dialog is an Explorer derivative I think).
Normally one might expect the camera maker to provide such codecs, but in this case Canon still seems oblivious to 64 bit computing. They do offer a 32 bit codec (entitled "Canon RAW Codec 1.7.0"), but it won't work on Windows 7 x64.
These pages can be useful to learn more about the issue:
http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/codecs.aspx
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=DownloadIndexAct
You CAN get a codec to do the job. At one time it was free, but now I see they're charging $9.99 for the package:

That's the software I use on Windows 7 x64, and it works great with Canon .CR2 files.

Using CS5: CR2 Files from my new Canon Rebel T4i won't open, but CR2 from Rebel XSi will?

I can't find the correct RAW plug-in for use with Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running OSX 10.8.2. I've downloaded several version but no luck so far.
RAW and CS5 worked perfectly together when images came from my Rebel XSi, but won't open now when they come from my new Rebel T4i??? Chating with Tec Support and searching the database he recommended was fruitless. Any ideas anyone???

CR2 files from which Canon camera?

Can't open .CR2 files off of a Canon PowerShot S95 (LR3/PS cs5)

I just bought the new Canon S95. I download pics off of a reader and usually go directly through LR. This time, LR would only download the few Jpgs I had on the SD card and showed me "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
It does however show a Canon S95 as part of the info when viewing the jpegs in the library module.
I copied the files from the SD card to my hard drive via copy and tried to open the files in Photoshop and got the following error. "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
I am running a MacPro with 8 G of ram and the current versions of LR3, Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw. I can see the thumbs of these raw files in finder where I placed the copies. I have downloaded many .CR2 files from a Canon S40, S70, 20D, etc. I'm lost.
Thanks to all.
Peace

That's silly. The Adobe DNG Converter and ACR are always released in tandem and the same camera models are supported in each respective version.
If that camera is not yet supported in any version of ACR, it wll not be supported in any version of the DNG Converter either.

Can't open CR2 files in CS5, updates fail

I have some CR2 files I need to edit. I have CS5. When I try opening the files I get the following message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
After looking online for some time, I read that updating my adobe applications should allow me to open these CR2 files.
I go to the adobe application manager and it lists I need updates for bridge cs5, photoshop cs5, and photoshop camera raw. I click the update button, watch the progress bar go from 0-100% in about a minute as if everything is just peachy, and the this pops up-
"the following updates were unable to install. If you wish to install these updates, please fix the problems below and retry:
Adobe bridge cs5 4.0.5 update, there was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
I've "tried again later" several times over the last month, and get the same thing each time.
When I click the "contact customer support" link it takes me to a page that says-
Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell
All I want to do is edit these files. I am happy with CS5, and not interested in paying a monthly fee to upgrade, just so I can open these files. Help Please?!

I had this issue today trying to reinstall CS5 on a new laptop. After many hours and trying to get chat support, i read a forum post that suggested installing each update manually from the adobe website. I tried and it was successful for me........

good luck!

How do I get Bridge CS5 to display CR2 previews???

Dear wonderful Adobe community
I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 from CS4. As far as I can read/ascertain/gather Camera Raw 6 came with the package and installed when the main installation ran.
Bridge CS4 displays my CR2 Raw file previews from my 5d MKII no problem. Bridge CS5 however does not and all I get is the statutory CR2 symbol.
Can someone please help help help!
Thanks :O)

David,
You may need to update Camera Raw to version 6.1RC (RC = Release Candidate or advanced beta).
ACR 6, which ships with CS5, was frozen a long time ago, before ACR 5.7 shipped, and it does not support some cameras supported by ARC 5.7 in CS4. I don't know if this applies to your camera model or not.
For more info:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/05/camera_raw_61_release_candidat.html
You might need to purge the cache after updating to Camera Raw 6.1 and relaunching Photoshop and Bridge.

I can't open my CR2 files in Photoshop CS5

I have a Canon and this silly CR2 is really confusing me! Going from an Olympus to this is a TOTALLY different ballpark.
For those of you to roll your eyes-I have looked through other discussions about this and I can't figure the problem out myself. So please help me if you will! I have checked the Camera RAW setting and I'm certain it's correct. Maybe I'm just missing something else?! Please help! I don't want to convert them all to TIFFs.....

I thought I looked at the list yesterday and it had mine listed. I have a Canon 70D.
Yes, it's listed and was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.2.
Now do the second step by seeing which version of ACR is compatible with which version of Photoshop.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
You'll see that Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with ACR 6.0 through 6.7. In other words CS5 will never be able to open Raw files from the 70D (released July 2013) - or any other brand new camera whether Canon or Nikon.
So you need CS6 or Photoshop CC to open Raw files from the 70D. Or from any other brand new Canon or Nikon.
This is not a Canon problem. It's a CS5 is out of of date problem and would apply regardless of camera manufacturer. If cameras saved in DNG format, you could still use CS5.
DNG?! Is that similar to RAW?
Yes.
Raw files are proprietary and are specific to camera makes and models.
DNGs conform to open standards. Adobe created the DNG format to avoid the very problem you're facing now. However the camera manufacturers prefer to stick to their proprietary Raw formats thus forcing Adobe and its customers into this never ending update and upgrade cycle with Camera Raw.

CR2 Files Won't Open In Photoshop CS5 - Camera RAW Updates Won't Install...

I've had to take some photo editing work home from the office and I need to open some CR2 (RAW) files on Photoshop CS5. When I drag the files into the program I get a notice that my Camera RAW does not support the files.
I've tried downloading updates for Camera RAW, all the way back to 6.3 (I'm currently using 6.0), but when I go to install I keep getting the message "Some Updates Failed to Install" "Update is Not Applicapable".
The photos were shot on a Canon 5D Mark II, not that it should make much of a difference. I'm wondering what's going wrong? I'm running OS 10.5.8 at home and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

Can't open CR2 files in CS5

What do I need to download to pen Canon CR2 files in CS5?

without know what camera you're using, I would say that you need to download the Adobe DNG converter 8.8 is the current one. That will create dng files that can be opened in CS5.

Can't open CR2 or JPEG files with Photoshop CS5 on Mac

I recently switched an existing install of Photoshop CS5 to a new MacBook Pro that's running Yosemite (10.10.1).
Photoshop could open most images (e.g. PNG, TIFF, PSD) but it could not—and still cannot—open any JPEG images. These same JPEGs open fine on Preview. I started this thread about the issue a few months ago:
Strange "out of memory" errors all of the sudden
I recently tried to open CR2 files from my (old but trusty) Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Photoshop says that it doesn't recognize the file type.
I tried to install version 7.1 of Adobe Camera Raw but each time I try to install it the Adobe installer displays a cryptic "Update Failed. This patch is not applicable for you." error message.
I don't know what else to try. I'd reinstall Photoshop CS5 but I don't know how to do this since it didn't come with any CDs and I can't find any Adobe resource online to reinstall Photoshop.
Help!

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.
mushybutt wrote:
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.

Photoshop CS5 won't open CR2 files. Running OS X 10.10.1 and camera raw version 6.7.1

Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1. It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.

Hello,
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Camera Raw not working/recognising CR2 files - CS5, Mac

I cannot get Camera Raw to work. It worked before but took some fiddling around to get it to work. I am using CS5 on a Mac. My camera is supported by the version of Camera Raw I have and it is the latest update for CS5. Help please.

Hi there
Thank you for your questions.
I am using Mavericks.
Camera is a Canon 6D.
Camera Raw is 6.7.1.340. According to Adobe my camera should be recognised by this.
This is the message I get when I try to open a CR2 file.
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
Yes, all Readable Documents is selected in the first drop-down menu. Bottom drop-down menu is Camera Raw.
In Bridge the CR2 files appear as white rectangles instead of images.
I realise that I can convert my CR2 files to DNG but from what I have read on Adobe information I understand that this is not a requirment as Camera Raw should work without having to convert every image to DNG first - or am I completely misunderstanding this?

Canon 6D, Bridge CS5, Camera raw 6.7.1 -- cr2 files not shown

I use Bridge CS5 with camera raw 6.7.1 in combibnation with a canon 6D and a canon 5D Mark2. The raw files from the 5D are shown in bridge, the raw files from the 6D are not. There is just an icon. The camera raw add-on is the latest usable update for Windows, the canon 6d is listed as compatible. Has anyone an idea what to do?

The Canon 6D id NOT supported by ACR 6.7.1. It was supported for the very first time in ACR 7.3 whch requires CS6 to run.
Therefore you will never be able to open raw CR2 files from the 6D directly in CS5.
If you do not plan on upgrading, you can download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (always use the latest version, it's not tied to your version of Photoshop at all), install it like any other application and then run it on each batch of CR2 files to convert them to raw DNG files that you can then open in your version of Photoshop and ACR.
