Help importing CR2 images

hi i'm new here ^_^
well i need help on importing my pictures that are CR2 to lightroom 1.4. It tells me that my pics are damage or it doesn't support it. can anyone help me on this please

The Canon Rebel XS was supported from LR 2.1 see this link.

Your options to open your raw files in LR 1.4 is to use the latest Adobe DNG converter (present version is 6.3) to convert your CR2 files to DNG.
Retain the CR2 files for use with your Canon software since that will not read the DNG files.
The other option is to upgrade to LR 3.3 which has many new features including a more advanced raw processing engine, noise reduction and sharpening, and new Lens Correction feature.
The link to the DNG converter is here. (sorry did not get the link to insert but if you go to the adobe dot com/support/downloads/ you should be able to find it.)

Can't import CR2 images into PHotoshop Elements 9

Please could someone help me with importing CR images from my Canon S120 camera...it just says doesn't recognise file type?

You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, 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)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Importing still images

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/importing-still-images.html

I might be incorrect in this, but think that there is a Ps Script, that will do what you want.
I would ask in the Photoshop Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
and also in the Photoshop Scripting Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
If my memory is not totally hosed, one of those should yield the Script (if it exists, as I claim to remember) for that task.
Good luck,

Help - Importing Large Images Fails

Hi,
I use Flash primarily for animation. The project I'm working on currently is a hefty 1920 X 1080 square pixel file and currently weighs in at 187mb because of all the sounds and jpg images. It's 2 minutes long.
The problem occuring is new to me as I've never worked with projects this long or in this resolution. Or with this much data (sound effects, jpgs, etc).
The problem is this: I'm trying to import a high resolution photograph (3500x2500) onto the stage or even just in the library. I'm using the photos to get an idea on where the final animation will be placed (photo backgrounds, flash animation, composited in After Effects, think Roger Rabbit).
And it's been working until now. I've imported, scaled, and animated a lot of jpgs, sounds, and photos without incident as well as drawn a lot of new frames using the brush tool.
I'm near the end of the project, and of course, Flash craps out on me, either crashing (closing automatically) on me every time I try to import the 20th of about 25 hi-rez photos, or giving me some error saying the file I'm trying to import is corrupted. And when I try to import other files it gives me the same problem.
Here's the kicker though, when I open a new stage and close the project I'm working on and try to import the same files, I am able to import
those supopsedly corrupt images. My theory is that Flash cannot deal with projects like mine, with lots of hi-rez photos in the timeline (though only one hi-rez photo on the stage at any given time. It might be a RAM memory problem since Flash is vector based. I have 2gigs of DDR RAM on my computer and it's a 2GHz Athlon processor.
I currently use Flash CS3 and Flash 5 and have experienced the same issues in both.
My question to those who have encountered similar problems in the past is how do you get around this? What's your work flow?
Do you split the project up into smaller chunks so you can import onto the stage what you need to work on in that chunk so Flash doesn't crash?
Do you use another program to composite and cross your fingers in the hopes the animation will line up with the imported background?
This project requires animation synced to the sound, so syncing after animating is not an option. Likewise, the animation has to appear in the right place on the screen, so importing photos to the stage is a must for placement issues. And lastly, it has to be HD resolution, so the photos I use have to be hi-rez too, which means huge filesizes.
Since it's not for the web, it's not an issue for me what the filesize is, but it seems to be for Flash and that's why it keeps crashing now that's I've pushed it to its limits.
I'm curious if there are any solutions that will prevent it from crashing in the future or work-arounds that will allow me to avoid reaching Flash's limits as I finish laying in the photo bgs and begin animating.
Ideas welcome.

Help: import iphoto images into FCE

Hi, Jake here. Hope you're all doing well....
I just bumped up from iMovie 06 to FCE. Loving it so far, but still overwhlemed by the learning curve.
Today's big question is how to best import a series of photos from iPhoto into FCE. I will be mixing photos & videos for most of my projects. I have tried these two things so far:
1) Dragged & dropped from iphoto directly onto the FCE timeline. Image looks very blurry.
2) Exported at max JPEG quality from iphoto to a location on my hard drive. Then imported file into FCE, then placed on timeline. It's every bit as blurry.
Both images have a green line above them, indicating a preview render?? I don't get it, but I just know photos weren't blurry in the store when the Mac guys showed this to me a couple weeks ago.
So what is the easiest way to do this? I want to import photos quickly & easily, then add effects & movement, but I can't believe that Apple has made it so cumbersome. I imagine I am missing something here. Please advise.
Thanks!
Jake

I think Jake did everything correctly but is expecting too much from a DV format.
I repeated the same with a 2304 × 1736 (4 megapixel) image and I got the same:
- dragging a Photo JPEG image (square pixels) to a DV (PAL or NTSC) sequence requires rendering: I get the same green render bar on top
- in addition the resolution loss from 2304 × 1736 to 720x480 (or 720x576) makes the image blurry
If you compare the iPhoto image and the imported image in the viewer (not in the timeline) you see basically the same quality; but the same image already converted into the timeline is blurry.
I'm afraid Jake has to live with this or move to HD. In any case iMovie could do no better than FCE.
My suggestion in any case is always to check the final quality of the movie, during editing, on an interlaced monitor (TV) connected through firewire and a D/A converter (e.g. camcorder): mostly for still images.

LR 5.2 won't import CR2 images from canon 6d

the message is - "the following files were not imported because they cannot be read"
tried direct from a folder i created on my desktop - same same
on a mac
thx in advance

It means that you don't have WRITE permission to the destination folder where the photos are supposed to go. Change your permissions!

When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour. Can someone help?

When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour. Can someone help?
This is happening even with photos that were taken on another camera, not just mine. My daughter told me that the laptop recently fell. The yellow streak is not anywhere else on the laptop, just on the photos in LR.

I have had this problem on my desktop. I have been attempting to reproduce it where it can be debugged. Here are some observations/facts in my environment--no conclusions:
1. I do not import from camera or memory stick directly into LR. I copy all images (using Explorer) from camera to two different locations (backup location first); and then my working area. In both cases, after files are copied I mark them Read-only.
2. Poor observation, but in any event: the issue has only occurred when I do a large number of images. Its a poor observation as I have no exact number. I suspect when I do less than 50 always works well every time. However, I have also done some very large imports without issue.
3. Error only occurs with my RAW images--for me that's NEF. I have multiple cameras--those that only capture jpg images have never had an issue in LR.
4. Even if the file is marked Read Only issues can still occur. I then remove the image from the disk using LR -- and then manually (Explorer) copy in my backup image -- re import again and all is well. I think one time I exited LR and replaced the bad file with a backup and restarted LR and all was well again.
5. When it occurs I have performed a HASH value on the broken file and on the backed up file to determine if the file contents has changed--and each time the file contents has changed.
6. I have had this occur immediately after import, but most often it occurs like this... import large number of images; Make changes in Development Module on random image, export jpg of changes--exit LR. Open up LR and file is corrupted.
7. I have had this issue on multiple USB drives ( okay just 2 different drives have been tested ).
What next--fire up Process Monitor and monitor the system (specifically LR) to see if it reports any file open for write access when this occurs. So, far I have not had process monitor actually running when it occurs--one of these days.

Importing raw images (.CR2) into iPhoto'08

I am trying to import 17Gb worth of raw (.CR2) images from an external hard drive as JPEGs, but in iPhoto I find I have to import them first before I convert them to JPEGs. Does anyone know how I can import them into iPhoto as JPEGs or tell me of a software that can convert them without importing the photos first? (Keep in mind that this software needs to be *leopard friendly*.)
Thanks, Supernova329

Supernova329:
There is a way to batch convert the cr2 raw files to jpgs with the demo version of iView MediaPro. Launch iVMP and import your folder(s) of raw files. Then select a folders worth of file and use the Action->Convert Image files menu option. In the settings select JPG as the format, Size=use image size, Settings=color =best, and Resolution=use image resolution. Then hit the Convert button and pick or create a new folder to put them in.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Importing RAW (CR2) images to iPhoto (7.1.1)

I'm having problems importing RAW (CR2) images to iPhoto (7.1.1) from my Canon Powershot G9. It imports the JPEGs with no problem, but says the following for RAW (CR2): "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data".

Yellowfish
That would be because the G9 RAWs are not supported at this time.

Need Help - Can't Import ANY Images into LR4.4 Since OS Upgrade

I can't import ANY images to LR 4.4 since upgrading my Mac OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 this past week. I downloaded LR5 Beta and all works well. I deleted LR5 Beta to see if it was conflicting with LR4.4 somehow and rebooted. Still no change. I can't import from my card reader (that says it can't even read the files) or from a location on my hard drive. I am beyond lost and frustrated.
The error message for importing is "Could not copy a file to requested location."
I need ideas. I am afraid to deleted and reinstall as I don't want to lose all my folders within. I looked all over the web and can't figure it out.
If you need any other info, please let me know. I am hopeful that someone can help me.

I added LR5 again and that works perfectly, but LR4 is still not working properly. I opened the preferences and catalog settings to compare...and they all look the same. I am beyond baffled. I don't plan on dropping more money for LR5, so I need LR4 to get back to working properly.

IPhoto 7.1 won't import .CR2 (RAW) image files

I'm shooting with a Canon 30D, and had no problem importing RAW images (.CR2 files) into iPhoto 08. However, after installing the update for iPhoto 7.1, I get an error message saying that the .CR2 file type isn't recognized. What the ****?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

My understanding is that iPhoto is able to read RAW files that the underlying OS can handle (which is why you see updated RAW compatibility added with various OS updates).
I have a 30D and have upgraded to 7.1
I just opened a folder of CR2 files and dragged and dropped into iPhoto and they imported fine. I have not tried downloading direct from camera as I tend to copy things over using a card reader.
So, in terms of troubleshooting, I suggest:
1 - can you see open the CR2 using preview? If not sounds like an OS issue.
2 - can you see thumbnails of the CR2 if they're in a folder somewhere? If not consider if the CR2 are corrupted.
3 - If no to 2, then can you open the images using other (Canon) software?
If yes to 1 and 2, the it's likely to be an iPhoto issue.

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.

Because I have taken over 9,999 pics, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is when I am importing with Image Capture, when I select images, the program is importing BOTH the old images of the same number as well as the new ones. Help?

Because I have taken over 9,999 images, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is that Image Capture now imports BOTH images when I select the new ones that share numbers with old ones. The images were completely mixed when they showed up in Image Capture - Old image 0001, new image 0001, old image 0002, new image 0002 and so forth. I clicked on "date," which then rearraged the images, and I selected only the new ones, but when they actually import to my computer BOTH old and new images are importing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?

Well, obviously all I needed to do to solve the problem was to post about it. It has stopped, so all is well!

Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

PS4 LR4 cr2 images not recognised

I have CS4 and Lightroom 4
I trialed Adobe cc but since I deinstalled it
NOW after editing in Lightroom and then moving to "edit in" Photoshop it will not open cr2 files nor save as jpg?
Help!!

The import bit of information is what model camera are the CR2 images from?
Every camera must be supported explicitly by an update of the PS Camera Raw plug-in and an update to LR that comes out after the camera is released, so if your camera model is newer than when CS4/ACR5.7 and/or LR4.6 were released then one or both won’t support it.
Here is a list of what cameras are supported by what minimum version of ACR and LR:
