How do I open RAW images from my Canon G9 in Lightroom?

I am starting to use my camera to take pictures of original artwork, for the purpose of making and selling reprints. I understand that I need to shoot the images in RAW so that I don't lose picture quality, but how do I know if the images that are importing into Lightroom from the SD card are even the RAW files?

the G9 is a great camera (I have the much newer/advanced G12) however I don't feel its really up to the job you have in mind. Photographing art works is rather specialized if good quality is required not to mention a good understanding of LR and/or PS.
I'm not saying you can't do it, only pointing out a couple of maybe unknowns

    Small correction to what SSprengel wrote...
    The RX100M3 is supported only by version 8.5.  It sounds like you need a newer version.

  • How do I open RAW images from T1-XMG CR2?  Adobe DNG converter will not recognize these files.   HELP?

    How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images.  I have had no problem with converting other images.  and ACR will not recognize them either.  Help!@

    The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
    The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2.  It is not clear where this name came from.  I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed. 
    What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to.  You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
    This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
    Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to?

  • How do I get Photoshop elements 9 to open RAW images from my Canon g16?

    How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?

    Hi,
    You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
    You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.

  • How do I open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1?

    Just tried to open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1. An error message appeared: "
    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.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information." Is there a simple solution?

    You cannot, nor will you ever be able to open your Canon raw files directly in CS5.1.  Your camera model requires at least ACR 7.3 which only works with CS6, or Lightroom 4.3.  There will be no further updates for CS 5.1 ever.
    Your choices are (1) to upgrade to CS6, or (2) to download the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently 7.4, and convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files that you can then open in your CS5.1.
    You should also know that the rendering in ACR 7.4 is far superior tou the raw conversion in ACR 6.x, so you would be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you go the (free) DNG Conversion route.

  • My cs4 won't open raw image from my Canon 5D II.  What is the solution?

    My CS4 opens raw images from my 40D with no problem.  However, when I try to open raw images from my new 5D II, it says it is "not the right kind of document".  Why is this?  Aren't all RAW images the same?  What is the difference between the RAW image in my 40D, and my 5D II?  Is there a solution to this?

    Please repost this in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

    Three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE11

    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • Cannot open Raw images from 5d Mark II in CS3

    I'm back with more issues. I had this same problem opening raw images in CS3 from my 40d (I have Windows 7 64 bit). With your help I was able to fix that issue with a patch, but now I am having the same problem with opening raw images from my new 5d Mark II. Help again please!

    You need to familiarise yourself with this: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    You will see that, as a minimum, you need ACR 5.2, which needs Photoshop CS4 to work.
    If you don't want to upgrade, use the latest DNG converter which will make your images viewable and editable in CS3.

  • How do I open raw files from a Panasonic DMC-GF5 using Elements10 on a PC?

    How do I open RAW files from a Panasonic DMC-GF5 camera using Elements 10 on my PC?  When I try to open a Raw file I get a message 'wrong type of file'

    I believe you need ACR 7.1 which PSE10 cannot be updated to. 
    Use the DNG Converter to make DNGs from the RAW files and those should open in your older PSE version.
    You can also buy a newer version of PSE.  Perhaps do a Trial (Try) of PSE12 and see if PSE13 comes out in the next week or so.
    The DNG Converter can be found on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • I'm unable to download RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives. JPEGS are fine. WHY?

    Suddenly I'm unable to download my RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives when just a few weeks ago I was able to. What happened? I can download JPEGS just fine. No error codes, software works like normal, i see the previews and when i go to my flash drives to open the files the dated file is there but it opens with no images. I've reformatted the memory card twice now, so that's not the problem. Any ideas from all my new friends out there. Thank you.

    We may need more info.  What are your flash drives?  What are you using to copy?  What computer/OS do you use?
    Normally a file is a file... a computer doesn't care what type of file it is.  Whether or not any software knows how to hope the file wont impact the computer's ability to copy it.  This makes me wonder if it is being copied, but can't be opened (e.g. if the software you are using doesn't know how to deal with a Canon T2i RAW file (.CR2).
    RAW is more of a "concept" than a "standard".  Every camera model's RAW file will be slightly different.  If you want to open an image in, say, Photoshop... they provide "Adobe Camera RAW" updates for their software and you'd need the update that supports your T2i (btw, when Adobe releases a "new" version of software, they tend to stop providing RAW updates for all previous versions of that software.  So depending on what version of software you use... the only way to get it to work with RAW may involve having to upgrade the software (there are some cumbersome work-arounds.))
