How to open a cr2 file in photoshop

how to open a cr2 file in photoshop if I do not have Lightroom?

Photoshop menu File>Open select the CR2 file. If you have a resent canon you may need CS6 or newer only they support ACR 8.6 beta with RAW support for the latest cameras. If you have an older version of Photoshop you may need to create Adobe DNG file for you CS2 file using Adobe DNG converter and process the DNG files with you Photoshop versions older ACR support.

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

How to open a .pse file in photoshop elements?

Hello,
All my previous files were saved as (.psd). Somehow, one of my photoshop elements projects was saved as a (.pse). I can't open it. How can I re open this file and continue working?
Thanks in Advance

A PSD is the standard working file for Photoshop.
A PSE is a project file for Photoshop Elements. These projects are multiple pages. If you are working with a PSE on Windows, there will be a folder along side your PSE that contains a PSD file for each page of the PSE. If you are missing this folder, you won't be able to open the file. The PSE file itself is just instructions on how to open the PSD files as pages of a project. On Mac, all of these files are wrapped up in a single container.

Can't open Canon Cr2 file in Photoshop CS6

I purscahed PShop CS6 Upgrade a few days ago as an upgrade for the full CS4 Extended (which was upgraded to CS5 last year). I installed CS6 as an upgrade to the installed and registered CS5.
Neither Bridge CS6 nor Photoshop CS6 will read Canon Cr2 raw files, and the "About Photoshop" splash screen indicates my purchased CS6 is a Beta version.
What has gone wrong? Should I uninstall CS5 and CS6, reinstall CS4 and then apply the CS6 upgrade to CS4?
Thanks
Ken Lilley

Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply. My reply is a bit delayed from time zones - I
live in Australia & had to go out to do some work.
My CS6 upgrade was bought from the Adobe Store Australia on May 10.
Order number is: AD003318323AU
The downloadsI got on May 10 seemed to cause the problem. I had trouble
with the Akamai option but used a second option to get CS6 in 2 files -
the small exe and the big zipped file. The small exe wouldn't unzip the
main file so I unzipped it manually and installed from that, and somehow
or other I finished up with the beta version. I'd never installed the
beta version before this, but the "About Photoshop" splash screen made
it obvious that I had it then.
When I got home a while ago I ran the Adobe download process again and
this time it worked, and file sizes and date last modified etc were
different in today's download. I deactivated the first CS6, uninstalled
it, ran Adobe Creative Suite Cleanser Tool and reinstalled from todays
downloaded files. My new CS6 is the correct & current version.
Adobe will probably have another confused customer somewhere who did
what I did at about the same time and got the beta version instead of
the real program.
The CR2 files I couldn't open were from a Canon G1X. My Canon 5D Mk2
files opened properly.
Thanks again

I cant open my .CR2 files with photoshop verion CS5.1

Hi i recently photographed an event and I used the Canon Rebel T3i. I also stored all the Images with using RAW format. When I went to edit my photos i could not open them with Photoshop.
I could open the JIP files but not the RAW camera files that were .CR2 files
Photoshop just displace a message saying
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.
The version of Photoshop that I'm using is CS5.1
I also updated the Camera RAW Plugin to version 6.3.0.79
I also went to the help tab in Photoshop and clicked on update and updated but I still had the same problem.
I thought that was going to get me edit my .CR2 files but it just displace the same error message.
pleas help.

The T3i was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.4
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
CS5 is compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7.

Try manually installing ACR 6.7

I can't open my CR2 files in Photoshop CS5

I have a Canon and this silly CR2 is really confusing me! Going from an Olympus to this is a TOTALLY different ballpark.
For those of you to roll your eyes-I have looked through other discussions about this and I can't figure the problem out myself. So please help me if you will! I have checked the Camera RAW setting and I'm certain it's correct. Maybe I'm just missing something else?! Please help! I don't want to convert them all to TIFFs.....

I thought I looked at the list yesterday and it had mine listed. I have a Canon 70D.
Yes, it's listed and was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.2.
Now do the second step by seeing which version of ACR is compatible with which version of Photoshop.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
You'll see that Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with ACR 6.0 through 6.7. In other words CS5 will never be able to open Raw files from the 70D (released July 2013) - or any other brand new camera whether Canon or Nikon.
So you need CS6 or Photoshop CC to open Raw files from the 70D. Or from any other brand new Canon or Nikon.
This is not a Canon problem. It's a CS5 is out of of date problem and would apply regardless of camera manufacturer. If cameras saved in DNG format, you could still use CS5.
DNG?! Is that similar to RAW?
Yes.
Raw files are proprietary and are specific to camera makes and models.
DNGs conform to open standards. Adobe created the DNG format to avoid the very problem you're facing now. However the camera manufacturers prefer to stick to their proprietary Raw formats thus forcing Adobe and its customers into this never ending update and upgrade cycle with Camera Raw.

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

Opening Canon CR2 files in CS3 on a Mac

What Camera Raw plug-in do I need to open Canon CR2 files in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac?
-Please send download link and installation instructions.
Thanks

Martha,
You have not provided any information about how you updated to ACR 4.3 or details about your setup, whether you have purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge, trashed Photoshop and/or preferences, Repaired Permissions, or performed any other maintenance, nor what error message you get or what happens when you try opening your images, nor any information as to the exact version of Photoshop you are running (10.0.1?) as well as the OS (14.0.11 or 10.5.7?). You really need to post in the Camera Raw forum so that you can browse existing threads and so we can point you to relevant posts.
Provided the files themselves are not damaged or corrupted, the most common problems are installing the ACR plug-in in the wrong place and not removing the obsolete ACR plug-in that is originally installed by default with Photoshop.
If you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in > Camera Raw…, you should see only one instance of Camera Raw and it should be 4.6 when you select that menu item.
If you have any other question, please post in the Camera Raw forum, not here. A discussion of this nature should be over there, where it can benefit other Camera Raw users, not just you.

How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.

How do I open a CR2 file using CS3 photoshop

how do I open a CR2 file in CS3

You cannot open a raw file from that camera directly in CS3 and never will be able to. That camera model was supported for the first time in Camera Raw 5.2, which requires CS4 to run.
You need to convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files first. Download, install and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1, which is not tied to any version of Photoshop at all,

I can't open .CR2 files in Photoshop CS4

I'm unable to get the .CR2 files from my new Canon Rebel T3i to open in Photoshop CS4. I just got this camera and I never had this problem with my old camera (Rebel Xsi). The raw files from the Xsi will still open, but not the ones from the new camera. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?
Thanks, Jo

Your only option is to upgrade or use the DNG convertor.
Just to be perfectly accurate, that would be two options.
To use the free Adobe DNG converter, you would download and install the very latest version then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
1. Upload the .cr2 files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
2. Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
3. Convert all the .cr2 files to .dng files.
4. Open the .dng files into Photoshop CS4 through the Camera Raw dialog.

Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have:
Photoshop CS4
Camera Raw CS4
Canon 5D Mark ii
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update ) this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
To the point.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
Them " Preferences "
then "General "
Then " Plus-Ins"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
Hope this works for you as well.
