How to get lightroom3 to download raw files from Canon 70D even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5

I have a Canon 70D and my old lightroom3 will not download raw files even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5 on my iMac. how can I overcome this problem?

I was being lazy and hoping that Adobe might have created some sort of patch which would allow me to import directly from my camera to lightroom
Neither Adobe, nor any other company that produces a Raw converter, ever retrospectively adds new camera support to old (obsolete) versions of their software.

    Can elements 13 open raw files from Canon 70d?

    PSE8 can't be updated but you can download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in PSE8(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:

  • 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.

  • How can I get Elements 12 to load raw files from my Nikon D5300. I have installed DNG Conv. 8.7.1

    I cannot get Elements 12 to recognise and load NEF files from my Nikon D5300. I have downloaded and installed the latest DNG coverter software 8.7.1 but Elements still refuses to load any NEF files.
    regards Ian.

    Hi,
    You shouldn't need to use the DNG converter unless you are using the MAC app version. The D5300 should be supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which should be compatible with Photoshop Elements 12.
    In the editor go to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw to see which version you have loaded. The latest for Photoshop Elements 12 is 8.5. If you have an older one then go to the Help menu and select Updates.
    If you are up to date, then you may have use old Nikon software to access the NEF files and that is known to corrupt them so that Photoshop Elements can't read them.

  • Reading raw files from Canon 70D

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 and just got a Canon 70D. How can I get the program to read the raw files?

    if I understand correctly, the only way to open the CR2 files from canon 70D is upgrade to PSE12.
    No. Adobe offer the free DNG converter that will convert those CR2 files to Adobe's DNG RAW format that can be opened in PSE11, or pretty much any version of PSE going back five or more years.
    Jo_vdh wrote:
    it's already kind of worthless.
    The Organizer and the Editor still do everything they did when you bought the product and Adobe provide a continuing solution to enable RAW processing in older versions of the software so I don't see how it has suddenly become worthless?
    And noting that you bought it the month after PSE12 was released I hope you got it heavily discounted.

  • Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D

    I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@.  I've just purchased a Canon 70D.  Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2.  I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out.  I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4.  Is there some way I could  preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?

    You need to upgrade to PSE12. 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) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.

  • Any ideas why Photoshop CC 2014 is now not opening RAW files from Canon 70D?

    I used to be able to open RAW files from my Canon 70D camera, and since I did an update, it will no longer open RAW files from my Canon 70D camera.
    I've uninstalled, and re-installed Photoshop CC 2014, and still no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I should check to see if I have the latest version.
    You don’t, because 8.0.x is not the latest.
    You need to update ACR.

  • Can I download RAW Files from Canon5D (Mk1) in LR4 ?

    I have heard reports that LR4 cannot be used to download files from Canon 5D (Mk1).....is this true ?
    Also why do I have to upgrade from LR3.6 to LR4 just so I can download RAW files from Canon G1X camera?......  for one who obtains no income from photography the continual costly upgrades are ridiculous !!!

    Some people seem to like making Adobe the villain in this dilemma/issue. You don't have to have any version of Lightroom to download or work on your raw files. Software was included with your camera that will do that. The problem is that the camera maker wants to sell cameras, not software. So they don't devote the time to making the software everything that it could be. And since most camera makers insist on using proprietary file formats, it imposes a hardship on Adobe and other third-party developers to keep up with the demand.
    Providing support for new cameras isn't the only development that goes on with the Lightroom team. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the process. When a major version of Lightroom is released there has to be an expense to upgrading. Otherwise, there would be no development, no improvement, just stagnation.
    But, as has been mentioned, if your camera is not supported in Lightroom 3.6, Adobe provides free of charge the DNG converter. It will convert your images to DNG (Digital negative) files that can be opened in the software that you already have. When a new major version of Lightroom is released, development on the previous version ceases. Support for cameras that are introduced has to be done on a model basis, not just the file format. So if you purchase a new camera and want support from software that you are accustomed to using, you should expect to upgrade to get that support. The move from Lightroom 3.6 to 4.1 will provide you with a lot more than just added support for new cameras. The new process is much more refined and can produce superior results. If that isn't of value to you then simply use the DNG converter.

  • When will Elements11 support CR2 files from Canon 70D  ? Or is an upgrade necessary ?

    As it is now RAW files from Canon 70D is not recognized by Elements 11. And Adobe don't ship any upgrade, only to Lightroom and PCC/Bridge. Is there a workaround ?

    PSE 11 will not be upgraded to support this camera. You need either:
    Purchase PSE12 or PSE13 ... or ...
    Download and install and use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.2 or later, convert your RAWs to DNG and then import the DNGs into PSE 11
