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")

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!

  • PS not recognizing .CR2 files

    I have a new Canon 5d MIII. When I tryi to open the .CR2 files, PS tells me it does not recognize them. Any ideas?

    Which version of Photoshop? That dictates which version of Camera Raw you can run.
    The 5D Mark III was first supported in Camera Raw 6.7 (and full support in 7.1)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You need at least CS5 (Camera Raw 6.7), preferably CS6 (Camera Raw 7.1) to open 5D Mark III Raw files

    Or convert the Raw files to DNGs using the free Adobe DNG converter. Then edit the DNGs in your version of Photoshop.

  • Converter not finding CR2 files from Canon 5D III

    I installed v7.1 of the dng converter to convert CR2 files from a new Canon 5D Mark III for use in Lightroom 3.6.  However, the program does not recognize the CR2 files whether in the original folder on the camera memory card or transferred to a folder on my hard drive.  The Canon Digital Photo Pro will open the CR2s so I know they are good files.  Any ideas? [OS is Windows 7 Pro]

    If you ever need to convert just one image or a few images, you can just drag those images onto the icon for the DNG converter, and it will open and convert those images.

  • Bridge CS6 not recognizing CR2 files

    I currently use CS6.  My camera is a Canon SX50 HS which is supported and generates CR2 files.  I use macs.  Previously I was able to view the thumbnails for these files in Bridge but that has changed.  Now I can't view them when on my mac pro but can still see them on my macbook air.  I do not know what has changed or what the difference between to two are.  Everything is updated on both machines.  I am at a loss - any help would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, by the way, I have no problem seeing these files in Lightroom 5.

    Moving this discussion to the Bridge General Discussion forum.

  • Lightroom 5 suddenly not recognizing CR2 files...

    I plugged in my card reader today to import some raw files, and lightroom said they could not be imported because the files weren't recognized. I opened them just fine in photoshop so I know the files are okay. I also tried copying to my desktop and importing from there, but I got the same message. Any idea why this would be happening? It happened with two different memory cards as well so I don't think it's a card issue.

    Hmm - it's taking me to my copy.com account, instead of your file - somethin' not quite right (and I think it's the link you posted - format looks wrong to me..).
    Will this link take you to a file for download at copy.com?
    https://copy.com/0p79pFlggJoV
    I think the copy.com download links always have the same format:
    https://www.copy.com/{12-char-code}
    I could be wrong.

  • Mac does not recognize CR2 files from Canon T2i

    First, I am posting in this forum because I need help for a problem that I think only experienced photographers could answer, even though I don't use Aprerture (or iPhoto).
    I borrowed a friend's EOS-1D Mark II and shot using the camera raw format. My Mac could see the files and even open them in Preview. I am using PShop CS3 on a Mac running 10.5. Because of this, I have to use Adobe DNG converter so I could open them in Photoshop. I cannot afford to upgrade either the OS or Photoshop right now.
    I decided to start shooting in the raw format with my EOS Rebel T2i. I formatted an SD card and changed the camera's settings to shoot RAW. When I moved the files to my Mac to open them, instead of thumbnail previews, I saw 'exec' icons, even though the file extension says .CR2. I tried to convert them with DNG Converter, and it said there were no recognizable files to convert. I changed the setting in the camera to save the file as both a RAW and jpeg file. The CR2 file was still not recognized, but the jpeg is.
    I thought installing "RAW Camera Update 2.7" from Apple's website would solve the problem. (Currently, "RAW Camera Update 2.1.2" is in my Library.) The problem is that ver. 2.7 requires either Aperture or iPhoto 9, or my Mac won't install it. I don't think the issue is with the 3rd party software, because the Mac 'sees' the image files taken with the Mark II, but not the T2i.
    I am stumped.

    I solved my problem through dumb luck, but maybe it will help other people who are still using CS3:
    I had used the version of Adobe DNG Converter for the CR2 files from the Mark II: version 5.4 for CS3. On a whim, I decided to try downloading version 6.2 for CS5. It is a stand-alone app, and if it didn't work, I could just uninstall it. or it simply wouldn't install.
    A funny thing happened:
    I ran the installer successfully, but when I checked my applications folder, it said I still had version 5.4, and a search for version 6.2 only showed the dmg. Huh. So I dropped a CR2 file on the icon of the version I still had, and it converted! Yay!
    The CR2 files still have the 'exec' icons, of course, but once the file is converted to dng, the thumbnails are there.
    Canon said it was up to software developers to make things compatible, and apparently the only difference between the RAW file for the Mark II and the T2i, for instance, is a tag buried deep in the file that IDs the camera it came from. I could have used the software that came with the camera, but it converts the CR2 straight into a jpeg, and I want to open it and make adjustments with Photoshop's RAW/DNG editor before opening it in PShop proper, to preserve the most information I can. I am mentioning this only because Canon's suggestion was to use their camera's software, so that is an option, but imo, it defeats the purpose of using RAW to begin with.

  • DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D.

    DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D (it does not see them). I tried DNG converter version 8.2 and 8.4. No success. I use iMac. What is wrong?

    hopefully, that's a typo on adobe's website because they list the canon 70d as using a .cs2 file extension, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    i don't see any other camera that uses a .cs2 extension and i don't see other people having problems, so that probably is a typo.
    in any case, cr 8.2 or better is able to convert your camera's raw files.  why you are having a problem i can't say, but double check that you are navigating to the correct folder by adding a file that will show up in your dng converter.

  • 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

  • Lightroom 4.4 not recognizing RAW files from supported cameras

    I started to get problems with Lightroom not recognizing RAW files from my Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras but I thought it was a problem with RC. After downloading some files today in 4.4 without a problem I encountered the same error message (unable to inport listed RAW files) again. The files open fine in Bridge. Any idea what is causing this problem?

    Hi Geoff
    I use a Mac with the latest version of Mountain Lion OS. The image files are being imported from the cards; in the case of the Fuji an SD card inserted in the card reader slot on the Mac and in the case of the Canon a CF flash card in a card reader attached to the Mac.
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • 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.)

  • Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

    iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

    Sounds like a damaged card.  Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera.  Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.
