How to open canon CR2 14 bit files in 16 bit and not 8 bit in PS

Hello,
the canon CR2 file is 14 bit. However when Camera Raw and Photoshop open it, they conert it to 8 bit.
This means they discard 6 bit of color depth/inforamation 
How can I instruct Camera Raw and Photoshop to keep all 14 bit data and convert it to 16 bit?
Many thanks for your help and advice.

At the bottom of the ACR window is a "link" to this dialog
It should be a button really!

  • Can't upgrade Photoshop Elements 9.0 to ANYTHING: unable to open Canon CR2 Raw files

    I will start this post w/ the comment that I am completely fed-up with Adobe, and am not surprised at the troubles its having considering how completely **** it's ancillary services on its products are. Outside of the actual editing capabilities of their software (the only reason I and most people use their software) they have bungled UI, design, updates, and product support.
    On to my issue.
    I have a Mac, I have OSX 10.9.4 installed, I also own a copy of Photoshop elements. I recently wiped and reinstalled my OS, and thus reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9.0.
    It doesn't support Canon .cr2 files, Canon Raw image files. I have wasted nearly 2 hours running in circles, and registering for every ******* stupid adobe mailing list, and cloud product, forum ID, that exists, all at adobes insistence without getting any sort of answer.
    1. There is no update function. The menu item HELP>UPDATE ... DOES NOT EXIST, every update must be done manually.
    2. I can't download and install any of the most recent Camera RAW plugins because they require the most update version of PSE9.0.
    3. I manually downloaded both update 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 and was required to download two additional pieces of Adobe software, which at best are useless, and at worst are malware the cloud services OSX plugin, and the Adobe App and Install Manager.
    4. When I run either update patch, I get the error message "This update is not applicable for you" and then information to contact customer support, which then circuitously and deviously reroutes me through a series of stupid questions.
    5. Ultimately I came here and have searched the forums and don't have an answer to my question yet.
    Questions.
    1. Why can't I install updates 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 to my PSE 9.0 for Mac OSX
    2. I don't give a f#*K about the updates, I just want to open canon RAW CR2 files.
    I wish someone else produced even moderately decent photo editing software, I'd rid myself of adobe.

    The raw files from the 5D should open OK but the files from the EOS-M require PSE11 or PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files from the EOS-M 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 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

    I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

    Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.

    Unable to open Canon raw CR2 file from G1 X (Photoshop cannot open this file), CR2 file from 1DSIII opens ok.

    That is correct. the G1 X will be supported in a 7.0 dot release. The camera is currently supported in Lightroom 4.

  • Horrible Adobe Chat Experience - How to open Canon 6D Raw files in CS5?

    Hi, I just had an awful Adobe Chat experience with agent Dharma. I waited a very long time and when Mr. Dharma finally was able to help me, he wasn't able to. I was told that my product would no longer be supported and I couldn't be helped by Adobe because it was CS5. I was also sent to a faulty link. Anyway, I recently purchased a Canon EOS 6D and when I tried uploading my photos to Photoshop CS5 it said my RAW photos could not be supported. I followed the appropriate links for support and help.
    My CS5 is updated, the Adobe Bride is updated. The extension for the photos is CR2 and they will not show the thumbnails in bridge and won't load in Photoshop. I need help. Now, I am hoping Adobe will support it's product and customer.

    As each new camera comes out, Adobe have to write the code that enables Camera RAW to work with its RAW files.  It is nrealistic to expect them to keep doing this for all previous versions of Photoshop.  The Canon 6D needs ACR7.3 which Photoshop CS6

    You have several alternatives. 
    As an owner of CS5 you can take up the BUndle deal at $10 a month.
    You can download the free DNG conversion software, and convert your CR2 files to DNG which CS5 can read.
    You can buy Lightroom 5, oir even Lightroom 4 (if you can still find a copy)
    I'd go with the Bundle deal.  There is a lot more to CC than reading Canon 6D RAW files.

  • How to open Canon 6D Raw files in Photoshop 7.0? [was: CR2 Files]

    why  did my Photoshop 7.0 stop opening CR2 files

    Photoshop 7 is only compatible with Camera Raw 1.0.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    To open, Raw files from the Canon 6D you need Photoshop CS6, CC or CC 2014. Adobe no longer sells CS5 or earlier.
    Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    Use that to convert all Raw 6D files to DNGs then try opening the DNGs in Photoshop 7.

  • Cannot open Canon .CR2 raw files

    I just purchased PSE 7 and I cannot open a raw file with the .CR2 extension produced by my Canon 500D. I have installed all available updates to PSE 7. Is there a way to open a raw file produced by my Canon 500D? Thanks.

    You'll need to update manually the Adobe Camera Raw plugin:

  • How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

    Can someone help?  I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files.  It was OK with the raw files from my 450D.  I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot.  I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

    The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
    or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

    I have Elements 12 and a Canon 70D but cannot access my raw files - what to do?

    Run Help> Updates. This will install the 8.4 plug-in necessary to open 70D files (first supported in v8.2). This will require W7 or later, XP or Vista won't update to 8.4.

  • How to open Canon T5i Raw files in Photoshop? [was: need help]

    I have purchased CS5 quit some time ago. I recently got a Canon T5I and CS5 doesn't recognize the files. But Light room does. So talked to Canon they say it is an Adobe issue. So downloaded the DNG converter 7.4 and it doesnt recognize the files either. So i thought i would up grade to the Photoshop CC but it wont install correctly either.

  • How to open Canon T5i Raw files in PSE11? [was: I need the download link to camera raw]

    I need the download link to camer raw

    Can you go to Expert Mode and click on the top menu Help
    Then click on System Info
    When the System Info dialog opens do you see anything listed under plug-in’s (see image below)
    If not, and if no updates are available you must have an incomplete installation.
    In that case, try uninstalling from the Windows control panel and re-installing using the link below.
    Extract the contents of the two zip files and combine them into a single folder – then run the set-up.

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
    Alex

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • PSE can't open Canon .CR2

    Hi,
    I have recently bought Photoshop Elements 12. I have uninstalled PSE 9 and installed PSE 12 on my Windows 8.1 computer. But it crashes about 80% of the times when I open Canons .CR2 (raw) files from my Canon 550D. Any suggestions, or should I return PSE 12 and reinstall PSE 9 again (which worked fine)?
    BR, Andreas

    You need to make sure you have the latest version of ACR which is version 5.6. Some of the Adobe links are not what they seem and lead to earlier versions. Use the download for PSE8; it will work with PSE7.

    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.
