HELP! Cannot open Canon RAW (CR2) file in PP5.5.2 (Mac)

Hi folks.
I cannot import RAW (CR2) files (Canon 5D2) files into premiere pro 5.5.2!
I can get them into After Effects (through cameraraw) but PP does not even show them as a "supported file type"
If I drag and drop from the finder I get "unsupported file type" error
My understanding is that CR2 files are supported in CS5.5
Any ideas
MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
For the rest, everything seems to be "normal"
Thanks in Advance
Tom

To use Camera RAW, you will need to process the files through a Camera RAW converter. With the proper ACR module, PS, and Lightroom will handle that processing, as will the Canon utility. With Adobe ACR, make sure to update to a version that handles YOUR camera's RAW files - mfgrs. tweak those model to model, so keeping the ACR module current will insure that you can handle the particular Camera RAW files properly.
I agree with Stephen's rec. to NOT use JPEG, if ultimate quality is of a concern. In PS, I just process my Nikon, Panny or Canon Camera RAW files to PSD. I would assume that the Canon utility would have the option for TIFF, as my older one does - there is no option for PSD in it. Do not know about the newer Canon Camer RAW processing, but TIFF should be just fine.
Good luck,

I believe you need PSE11 with the Camera Raw plug-in 7.1 or newer.

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.

Had my Nikon D600 recently in for the updated service call. Camera works fine but Photoshop says it cannot open my RAW (NEF) files now? It worked fine before and I have done all my updates.

The only thing I can think of is if you got a replacement D610 as rumored here:
http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/27/nikon-is-replacing-some-d600-cameras-with-new-d610-model s.aspx/
In that case, you would need the new version of Camera RAW or DNG converter as per Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras .
The other thing to check is if the files open in the Nikon native ViewNX software. If they don't it's time to call the service center.

Please Help, Very Frustrated - iPhoto 11 & Canon Raw(.cr2) files

I recently started shooting raw(.cr2) with Canon 6D (on the list), while on vacation of course.... while there I loaded all my images to my Ipad to save room, due to only having my 16gb memory card with me, yesterday I decided to take them off the ipad and store them in iPhoto where all my work is stored and back it up to my external harddrive, I have tried for 4 hoursto figure out why it won't upload to iPhoto 11, nothing works, it acts as if its uploading and then after 30 mins it says unrecognizable format(see screen capture below).
I have read several other different forums and similar questions all the way back to 2005 and nothing seems to help, I tried making a smart album, updating the software, but iPhoto will not recognize the pics. I did find one forum that said use Image Capture and do it that way, It worked to move them off the ipad but only to my extrenal hard drive with no image preview, saying it cannot open the file, all I eally want to do is have them load like all my other images into iPhoto which I use almost everyday and not have to go back to shooting jpeg along...PLEASE HELP any suggestions??

Thanks everyone...I tried and even downloaded the specific software released from Canon specific for Mac for my camera a Canon 6D... Nothing worked... IPhoto never would recognize the images....
BUT ..... in case someone else has this problem... I had to jump through hoops to figure it out... but finally with the help of several forums on here... I figured out a way to save my images and have them in a jpeg format to save for my memory folder for my daughter....so I did figure out a way to make it work...
If you transfer for images from camera(in raw format .cr2) to your ipad...... and cannot load them to iphoto like me....here is how to do it....
1. I searched my Mac, it comes with a software installed called "Image Capture" find it and load your pictures on
          your ipad to a folder on your desktop for easy finding.
2. Search Google and Download Program Called Rawker....
3. Open Rawker... go to File
                              a. Select Batch - Select source Location - Select your file you saved your images in
                              b. Select File Batch - Select Source Destination - either make a file on your desktop or
                                        select where you want your newly converted RAW/jpeg images to be placed
                              c. Select File batch and Start Batch...
4. After its done with the convert - you can import that new .jpeg folder of images to your iphoto
Bunch of crazy circles because I was told it was better to shoot in Raw .cr2 ... NOT ... It might be if you have the right program but I guess none of the ones I tried worked....
Until I find a better way I will just go back to shooting in jpeg fine.
Thanks again Everyone

How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
Thanks (in advance)!

Open Canon 6D, CR2 files in Elements 10

I recently upgraded my camera to the Canon 6D. Took loads of great pictures only to find that when I tried to open them in Elements 10 the programme didn't support them!!!
I've search and trolled through every forum I can find lookong for a solution, to no avail! Can some one please help or do I simply just have to upgrade (again) to Elements 11?
Thanks for any help I may receive in advance, furious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the supported cameras list, the 6D was first supported by ACR 7.3, which is newer than PSE10:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You can buy PSE12 which comes with ACR 8.x, or you can convert your CR2 files to DNGs, a folder at a time, with the free DNG Converter 8.2 and open them with the older Elements ACR plug-in.
The DNG Converter is available from the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
I’d suggest downloading the trial for PSE12 and make sure it works on your system before paying for it.

Problems with opening Canon T4i CR2 files in elements 10

I have a cannon rebel T41 and Adobe elements ver 10, ive been taking photos in RAW format but cannot open them in the elements software, the files are saved as a CR2 file can anybody help please.

The T4i was first supported by ACR 7.1. The last ACR version supported by PSE10 is ACR 6.7.
This means you need to update your PSE to 11 or 12 to work with T4i CR2 files. Or maybe buy Lightroom, which is about the same price as Elements but contains all the raw adjustments not just the few in the Element’s-hosted ACR plug-in.

CC 2014 will not open 70d raw CR2 files.

I installed the new version of CC 2014 Photoshop on my PC and it will not open up my Cr2 raw files from my 70d. The former version of CC worked fine. Is anyone else running into this problem and if so, is there a fix?
Thanks.

Problem solved. By searching the forum the following soluition came up.
try even more brutal force like directly replacing existing "Camera Raw.8bi" with the content of \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245\Assets1_1.zip (from direct download archive) for x64 (rename it, backup old .8bi first) .. the same for x32 from \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-050614141453
PS: but first research your system - where do you have Camera Raw.8bi files (dates/sizes)
Thanks for your reply.
Arnold.

PS CS5 w/ ACR 6.7 cannot read Canon 7D CR2 files

Hello,
I recently upgraded from a Canon 50D to a Canon 7D. On my iMac I am running PS CS5 Extended 12.0.4 and have updated to camera raw 6.7.0.339. Unfortunately, PS is not reading the CR2 files from the Canon 7D; "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". From what I have read, Canon 7D support was added to ARC 5.4 and, by default, is a part of ACR 6.7. All the similar posts list the solution as updating ACR to latest version which I have done. Ultimately, I would like to avoid converting the CR2 files to Adobe DNG. I can confirm that the CR2 files in question are complete and are not corrupted as I can view them with both Windows and Mac photo previewers.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Your new camera is a canon 7D or canon 70D?

Canon Raw (CR2) files seem to get corrupted after some times

Hello
I use a fully registered Lightroom 5.3 with my Canon 5D Mark III, and I have this kind of corruption on some of my CR2 files from times to times. If i reimport the .cr2 file in another catalog or even on another the resulting file is still corrupted.
The wierdest thing is that the original import was successful and I successfully exported it several times correctly. The corruption should have happens afterward:
Do you have any idea where does this comes from? This is absolutely inacceptable from a professional software.
PS: I had this kind of curruption with an old version of Lightroom with my previous pentax K7d, but I though this was past
Thanks you very much

Yes, -failing hardware (typically disk or ram).

The software is not corrupting them, it's just revealing existing corruption. (yeah, I know some apps can still display the jpeg preview without revealing the corruption, still... - Lr is a raw editor..).

Can't open Canon 7D CR2 files in Bridge

I have Photoshop and Bridge CS4 running on an iMac. I just purchased a Canon 7D (great, btw),. Unfortunately Bridge and Photoshop can't open the files. The error message says Photoshop can't recognize this type of file. I can convert them to tiff, jpg, etc using other programs, but I'd rather not have the extra conversion.
Any advise on correcting this error?

It sounds like you are running an older version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in. That camera model was not supported in versions 5.5 and earlier of Adobe Camera Raw.
You need to upgrade to ACR 5.7, which is the last version of ACR to run with CS4.
Use the auto updater in the Help menu of Photoshop. If it doesn't work for whatever reason, download ACR 5.7 amnually and carefully install it according to the instructions. Please note that the path to the correct location starts with your root level Library, not your user library.

Canon raw CR2 files are 1.33 underexposed in LR3. Why?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to lightroom and have mainly used it for some workflow with JPG files.
I'm trying to do some work with CR2 raw files from my 30D and the RAW files appear approx 1.33 stops underexposed in Lightroom 3.6.
I have compared with the camera jpg in LR3.6, the camera jpg and CR2 in canon DPP software / Breeze Browser Pro / Picasa.
I can't understand it. No presets. everything I can see is off.
In Develop > Set default settings ...I see it recognises that it is a canon 30D
Any ideas?

Hi,
I take your point... it has been good working through things.
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you what the original settings were as I deleted the files and re imported. Maybe I just clicked on something I shouldn't have! as the import was better.
But after investigation I think it may have been auto tone appplied. I found out how to remove it from import and later applied auto tone to some images and where the exposure should have been increased by ~ +.33 LR was in fact reducing Exposure AND reducing the Brightness setting too. So it was double wammy!
There is no real EXPOSURE difference between the picture styles in LR once the exposure is right for one.
I took the shots in RAW+jpg, Portrait picture style with saturation +1 (under studio lights with camera calibrated with an expodisc, and the light is also metered).
This gives me a good starting point from which I wanted to use LR to vignette, add some cool effects to multiple images and create some printing packages. For School Photos.
The LR match to DPP (Portrait > Saturation +1) appears to be roughly: Reset > Exposure + 0.33 > Saturation +10 > Process 2010 > Profile:Camera Portrait.
The image doesn't jump out quite as much but the sharpening is better than DPP.
I am finding you can do a lot more with LR than DPP but it's not always intuitive and the historgram is not as much help as the rgb output histogram on DPP which helps me get my print exposure spot on 99% of the time with ease and clinical precision - in LR its more by eye unless I'm missing something? If you use DPP you'll know what I mean
Thanks ssprengel!
OH... I re read your post camera portrait vs camera standard = no exposure difference BUT ADOBE STANDARD IS LOWER EXPOSURE and camera faithful / camera neutral is lower still.
And I think I noticed my original imports had both auto tone and adobe standard profile so that would make it about 1.33 exposure difference from DPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Camera Raw .CR2 file download failure from new Canon650D

I have the new model Canon650D and cannot download Camera Raw CR2 files into Photoshop Elements 10. I get a "program error" message on screen. I have tried converting to DNG files but get same error message. I have downloaded latest upgrades for Camera Raw plug-ins in Adobe Application Manager and evidently have the latest 6.7 version available. Is there a later upgrade or do I have to wait until Adobe catch up?

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.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Canon Raw (CR2) import issues, Windows Vista home premium

I can import JPEG files directly from my camera (EOS 400D)using Lightroom but I cannot import my raw CR2 files, for some reason Lighroom simply does not recognise that they are there.
I therefore use another program to import my Raw files onto my hard drive.
Once they are on my hard drive Lightroom will let me import my raw files.
My question is how do I get lightroom to import my raw CR2 files directly from my camera?

Plus multiple other good reasons/benefits of using a card-reader... such as...
No cord to accidently get pulled and camera to fall to floor, can download card and still go out and use camera, and can copy pictures to ANY computer without having special software installed... plus can use card as portable flash drive for other file types.
I personally don't allow Adobe to copy from my card even from a card-reader after their initial problems with 1.0... I copy all my files to a folder on HD, ensure all have been copied, then allow LR to Move and Import photos from that temporary holding location. This also allows me to do other things (like geotag the images) before I actually do my import into LR.
