Default Open CR2 files from SD card or from LR5 in ACR/CS6

How/where do I set this up; I don't want the files to default open in PS.
TIA
OS 10.10.2, ACR 8,6, PS 13.0.6 x64, LR 5.7

I think there were on-point replies in the OP's duplicate thread in the Lr forum, Jim.

Will this download open CR2 files on a CS4 program from a Canon 5D Mark III?

I know that Cs4 will not support CR2 files from a New Mark III. I need to fix this. With the CC, will it allow me to open the CR2 files in PS CS4?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 5D Mark III was first supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6 and later.
So, to answer your question, yes CS6, CC and CC 2014 can open and edit Raw files from the 5D Mark III.

Can't open CR2 files in CS3 after recovery from memory card deletion

I accidentally deleted some photos from a memory card. I recovered them using software called "Recover My Files". This software recovered the files but now I can't open them in CS3. I took these with an old Canon Rebel DSLR and they should not need converting, they opened fine before I deleted them. Any advice much appreciated. I really need these photos. Thanks.

Thanks, I ended up doing another recovery with PhotoRec freeware, it worked and I got all of the photos back. A bit tedious to use but free. I must have downloaded five or six recovery softwares but a lot of them can't retrieve raw files very well.

Can't open cr2 files from my 5D but can from my 20D

i just got a new computer (windows vista) and on my old computer i could open cr2 files from both my 20d and my 5d just fine. but now on my new computer i can't open the cr2 raw files from the 5d but can from the 20d. I have photoshop cs2. I am not planning to upgrated to cs3 anytimes soon, do I just need to install a plug in? Please help.

Kristen,
No, no, no. The DNG Converter is a stand-alone executable program. You can even put it on your desktop. You would need it only if your camera model is NOT supported by ACR 3.7, which is the latest version you can use with Photoshop CS2.
In that case, you would use the DNG Converter to convert your raw images to DNG files first and then opening the DNG files in ACR 3.7.
Now, the ACR 3.7 plug-in has to be installed in the correrct location, which is where the old ACR plug-in resides. You will be replacing that old, obsolete ACR plug-in (while Photoshop is NOT running).
[The default Photoshop installation comes with and installs that obsolete ACR plug-in.]
Read the instructions on the download page very carefully, and refer to the FAQs of this forum on the same page where you added this topic.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

How to open *.CR2 files from new 60D ??

My Elements 7 will not open or recognize CR2 files from my new 60D. Nor will it allow me to open CR2 files in another format. I get error messages saying they are "the wrong type of file" or that a codec is missing. It opens CR2 files from my two Rebels just fine. I have downloaded the most recent codec (1.7.0) I can find from Canon to no avail. I downloaded a trial version of Elements 9 - same problem. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks, JackM

Well, after downloading - and purchasing - PE9, and downloading ACR 6.2, am still having the same problem; not recognizing the 60D CR2 files. I have actually downloaded the 6.2 several times, with and without unzipping and extracting files, to no effect. I will try calling Adobe Monday to see what the heck is going on. This is extremely disappointing.
I may have to resort to use DPP for raw conversion, save as a TIFF, then open in PE for editing (this does work). If that's my only option, I hope Adobe will refund my purchase price. I'll try to keep you updated on what happens.
Thanks for your help.

Can't Open CR2 Files

I've been using CS2 on my iMac for a couple of years. Just got a new computer, a MacBook Pro, and installed CS2 on the new computer. When I try to open any photos from my Canon 50D, I get a message telling me that "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
What?
Since when can't PS open CR2 files? it can on my iMac.
What the heck could have happened?

You answered your own questions, you might just not realize it.
As I said above "LR 2.4 will have no problem reading the D50's CR2 files, but you still won't be able 'Edit in Photoshop' without converting them to a format CS2 can read. LR would need to convert them to TIFF."
In short on your iMac you were using LR to convert to TIFF before editing in CS2.
You can install LR 2.4 on your MacBook and still do that by tellign LR 2.4 on your MacBook to convert to TIFF and again edit in Photoshop CS2.
After installing LR 2.4, in LR goto Preferences -> External Editing, set it to convert to TIFF/ProPhoto/16Bit (usually that's the default).
It sounds like you've changed your workflow. On your iMac you were using LR to convert prior to CS2, on you MacBook you can do the same, but you should be able to open a 50D CR2 directly the CS2 on either machine.

ACR freezes while opening CR2 files

Hello everybody,
When I try to open CR2 files, ACR freezes
I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 and ACR 6.4.1
Any solution?

What model camera?
Can you reproduce this problem with, say, a CR2 file from your model camera that's already online somewhere? If so, I'll be happy to try opening the same file.
Chances are pretty good that the problem is on your specific machine, since Adobe does test out their stuff pretty well. If that's the case, you might check to see if there are any display driver updates for your video card from the web site of the maker of same. Video driver updates solve a lot of problems.

How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

Hi,
The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
Which operating system are you running on?

CS3 not opening .CR2 files

I can't get either Photoshop or Bridge to recognize/open .cr2 files. I have Camera Raw pug-in 4.6 installed, fully updated CS3, Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and the pictures are taken with an EOS 7D. Can't get my head around what's going on here. The funny thing is that in Bridge pref the .cr2 format was listed as supported.
Anybody got a clue?
Best regards,
Jan

I'm Adobe's customer. Why wouldn't Adobe simply make Camera Raw compatible with earlier versions of CS? Can you give me a real clear and logical reason why?
Because that's not the way software is developed...the code for CS3 and CS4 is "old" meaning Adobe no longer is writing that code. The code base has been altered/changed by later versions. The SDK (software development kit) for Photoshop has changed...plug-ins that work for Photoshop CS5/5.5 are using the current SDK. Older versions of Photoshop have an older and in some cases, incompatible SDK.
For example on the Mac, Photoshop CS5 requires that the plug-in be written in Apple's Cocoa API. Camera Raw 5 required a major update to be able to run in Cocoa...retrofitting Camera Raw 5 to run in a PPC platform (supported by CS3 but not supported by CS5) would be difficult. As a result of the engineering challenges of backwards compatibility Adobe has the policy of only updating currently shipping software to current customers. Truth be told, you are not a current customer...you are a former customer. Having Adobe spend R&D on supporting former customers would take resources away from supporting current customers. As a current customer, I wouldn't like that.
Really, I think you have a problem of expectations...you buy a brand new camera that wasn't even around when you bought your software and you expect after several years that Adobe will re-engineer the old software for compatibility with your new camera? That's not a reasonable expectation. Since you don't really understand software development–as most people don't–I do as I develop plug-ins, I understand why you and many people just assume that Adobe is refusing to update old software as some ploy to make you upgrade your software. Yes, there is an element of that, but there are technical reasons why updating software for backwards compatibility isn't a good business decision.
You made the decision to upgrade your cameras, part of that decision should have also included updating the software to use that camera. You are welcome to use the Canon software–for free–to process your images in your older software. The other alternative is to use the free DNG Converter (which Adobe doesn't HAVE to provide, but does, for free). The other alternative is to upgrade your software, and yes, that comes with a cost. So did your new camera.
In point of fact, the advances to Camera Raw in particular are a strong reason for upgrading to Photoshop CS5/5.5. Call that an evil plot to force photographers to buy the upgrade, but i call is progress on the ability to get maximum image quality from your raw captures. I call that a good return on the investment.

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.

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.
See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
From 1.40 onwards.

PS will not open .cr2 files

PC crashed. After re-install my CS3 version of Bridge and PS will not open .cr2 files whereas they did open theses files prior to crash. Lightroom still able to open same files. Please guide me to answer as am doing wedding for daughter's friend in 2 weeks and now am sweating bullets. Is it drivers, camera (Canon 50D) or something else?
TIA

The Camera Raw plug-in does not follow the rules of computer literacy.
I should have advised you to read the instructions on the download page.
You have to delete or move out the original plug-in from:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
And then place the downloaded version 4.6 in there.
It will not overwrite the old one, which has to go!
(To be certain of success, do a search for other instances of the file Camera Raw.8bi and delete them.)

My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

What version of Bridge and Camera Raw is your friend using? And what camera is this from?
Each camera must be supported specifically and older versions of Adobe products don’t get updated for newer cameras.
Your CS6 is obviously new enough and has been updated to a new enough version of the Camera Raw plug-in but perhaps theirs is older or hasn’t been updated.
Here is a list of cameras that Adobe supports along with the version of the Camera Raw plug-in that is needed to read them:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
For versions older than CS6, the highest CR version is +1 of the CS version—CS5 can use CR6.x but not CR 7 or 8.
The exception is CS6 which is still be sold by Adobe so can be updated to CR8 even though it initially shipped with CR7.

Cannot open CR2 files in Elements 7

Hi,
I'm trying to open CR2 files in Elements downloaded from my Cannon 50D camera. Message says it's the wrong type of file. I've updated all the plugins, downloaded 5.4 and follow as many forums as possible but still no luck.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Mark

Where do you get the error message? When you import a raw file into the Organizer, or when you try to edit it?
In the Editor, do Help > System Info. What is the version shown for "Camera Raw"? Is more than one version shown?

Opening cr2 files in Yosemite

Hello,
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click 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.

Yes, I do not have any problem when opening with iPhoto.
How are you "opening" in iPhoto? Simply browsing the photos in iPhoto will may be using use the embedded preview images. Can you edit your photos in iPhoto or export them using "File > Export"? Only if you can export a photo or edit it in iPhoto using iPhoto's editor, you can be sure, that the the RAW support for your camera is properly installed.
Your camera needs this RAW compatibility update to be installed -see this link: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
Have you installed all recent RAW compatibility updates? And for the applications to find the installed RAW support it needs to be registered with the Launch Service database using the lsregister command. This database keeps a list of supported media formats. Sometimes this list will be outdated and recent entries missing.
In that case it can help either to reinstall the RAW support, see this post:
Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Or to run register it manually by running the lsregister command from the Terminal:
