Exporting .cr2 files from elements as jpgs

i know that jpgs are flattened images and that raw files are complex images i know how the aspects of raw files are editable but jpgs are not. but what i don't know is why when in elements, and aperture for that matter, when saving my raw (CR2 files) as jpgs for customers, they go from 12 megs in size to 2 megs. the EXPORT function is not available for some reason. Shouldn't I be able to export a raw file as a large jpg file?

Your jpegs should be the same size in terms of pixel dimensions, but saving as a jpeg will usually make the file size quite a bit smaller because of jpeg compression.

Are you talking about Export in the Editor or Organizer?

CR2 files from Canon 70D in Elements 11 on windows Vista

I cannot get Photoshop 11 to recognize (open) CR2 files from my Canon 70D camera. Running Windows Vista. Is there an update for this for Vista.

Photoshop Elements 11, you mean?
The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 or later
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 or later
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Either
upgrade to Elements 12, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw files from the 70D to DNGs then open the DNGs in Elements 11

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

Exported my video from Elements 12 but Powerpoint does not recognise the video file. How can we do it?

Exported my video from Elements 12 - format mp4 but Powerpoint does NOT recognise the video file. Why?

.wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

Export RAW files from iPad to NAS

Hello everyone,
I've been a while wondering if it is possible to quit personal computers for my Photo Workflow, that involves RAW file formats. The ideal workflow should be like this:
Take a photo in RAW+JPEG.
Import the photo in an iPad Air 2 with iOS 8 via SD Card Adapter.
Work with the image with the existing RAW editing apps, Like Photogene 4 or SnapSeed.
Save the original RAW and edited stuff in a Synology NAS.
The problem is the fourth step. It's impossible for me to extract them intact from iPad to NAS. I had recently a false positive when I found FileBrowser, which is a Finder-like app that let's you take RAWs from an album and copy to a network storage. BUT surprise! The filesize of that files is EXACTLY the same of the JPGs, around 2,5 MB, so these .CR2 files have been altered.
¿Is there some way to export RAW files from an iPad?

The following claims to transfer RAW. Not sure that it will work in the circumstance you describe but may be something to check out: http://www.photosync-app.com/photosync/en/features.html#cluster_1

LR4beta shuts down when exporting .cr2 files

LR4beta shuts down when exporting .cr2 files..exporting them too .jpgs while only changing the size?

There have been a few reports of folks with iPhoto 09 being unable to export on 10.9. No solution apart from upgrading to iPhoto 11 (which requires a purchase) as this time.

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.
Solved!

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.

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 in Elements 11 - win 7 64 - canon eos M2

I can't open my cr2 files in Elements or in Corels Aftershot Pro2. They open in Canon's digital photo pro but that's not much help.
Any ideas?

Glenans a écrit:
"As has been stressed before," - but not to me and I never imagined that there was any "present converting software that can edit the raw files from cameras which will be issued tomorrow". What I did imagine was that old software is updated to include newer and newer cameras and this seems to be the case.
It's in my first post : "Since each new camera model has its own raw format," but I admit that the camera raw format is totally counter-intuitive, which explains why this questions is the most common in the Adobe feedback forum: Photoshop Family Customer Community.
The technical problem is that the ACR module is not totally an independent module you could update without updating the whole Elements version. If you look at the list of required ACR version for different Elements versions, you can see that the ACR version may be updated to a certain point, but that may depend on your OS version. Adobe's solution with the DNGconverter has pros and cons. It's an additional step, yes, but when you deal with large batches, it's less of a problem. Also some may find the DNG conversion useful. My raw files are 32 GB, when converted to DNG they are reduced in size and the time to open them is reduced. I like the ability to 'lossly compress' them, which is a much better solution than saving to jpeg.

Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with the list of all the images in an album?

Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with a list of all the images in a certain album? In filling one of my albums I did not save my edited images to the same file... they are spread out a bit.... Now I want them to make a book with them (outside of Elements).

As far as I know, Elements does not have the ability to create lists.
The solution to your problem of making a book outside of Elements is to place all the desired photos in an Album and then select File->Export->As New Files which gives you the ability to make a copy of every photo in the album in a new folder, from which you would create your photobook.

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?

Feature request - Export Draw files from Creative Cloud to Illustrator

It's really annoying that you can't export Draw files from assets.adobe.com to Illustrator CC, that you have to do this from your iPad. If my battery is flat, or I have left my iPad somewhere I can only export REALLY crappy low res jpgs or pngs. Coupled with the recent issues the Send to Illustrator function has suffered it's annoying that work is being locked up in this way. I understand that it's important for Adobe to protect their products, but these restrictions are making workflows really hard work. It would be ideal if we could access the mobile files using the Place tool in inDesign etc too so we could drop a drawing file in to a document in the same way we can a regular image or ai/psd file

This is a bug. Will update this thread once it is fixed.

CR2 files from a Cannon 600D

How can I open CR2 files from my Cannon 600D with photoshop SC3

You can't with the Canon CR2 files because the 600D needs at least ACR version 6.4 that came with PSCS5, LR 3.4.1 or PS Elements 9.
You have the option to upgrade to at least those versions or use the DNG Route. Download the latest free Adobe DNG converter, convert your CR2 files to DNG and they will open in CS3.

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?

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.

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.
