How to read canon CR2 raw photos in photoshop elements 8 ?

I have PSE 8 for several years and purchased recently a new Canon Camera delivering raw pictures in CR2 format.
This format is not recognized by PSE 8.
What can I do ?

Your version of PSE is too old to be able to use a compatible version of Adobe Camera Raw. You have three choices:
1. Upgrade to PSE 11.
2. Use DPP that came with the camera to do your raw conversions and then use PSE for additional editing for the converted tiff files when needed.
3. Use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to a format your older version of ACR can parse. Mytaxsite gave you the link to the windows converter. Here's a link to the mac version:

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "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. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

How to open and view RAW photo's in Elements?

How do I open RAW pictures from an Olympus PEN E-PL1 in Photoshop Elements 5.0?
Have owned Elements 5.0 for several years, but just loaded it and now I'm trying to learn how to improve my underwater photo's by taking pics in RAW so they can be edited. Unfortunatly, Elements 5.0 doesn't recogonize the RAW pictures from my Olympus PEN E-PL1.
Do I simply update something in it? Or is it an app I need to download and add into it? Or is there another way to convert them to DNG file so they will be recognized?
If this has been covered already, then please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
tripntx

tripntx:
The Olympus E-PL1 wasn't supported by Adobe Camera Raw until version 5.7. The latest version of Camera Raw that you can use with Elements 5 is version 4.6.
This means that you can't natively open the raw files from your Olympus in Elements 5.
You can, however, convert the raw images to DNGs, and then open the resulting DNGs in Elements 5. (You can even embed the original raw file in the DNG for archival/preservation purposes, to take up less storage space and make it easier to organize/manage your files.) You can download the DNG Converter application here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4803
(DNG Converter is a pretty straight forward application, but the ReadMe PDF contains instructions for its use if you need it.)
Alternatively, you could upgrade to Elements 8 or 9, and the photos from your camera would be natively supported. (Note that you'd need to update the Camera Raw plug-in in Elements 8 before you could open your photos; this download is available here in case you need it.)

How do I display RAW photos from Photoshop Elements 11 on Apple TV?

Hi,
Ever since I got my Apple TV 3rd gen I have been able to simply turn on itunes and stream my albums from photoshop without an issue. The shots are mostly RAW and came out perfectly on the big screen. They also still appear on my ipad without any issues at all. However... Yesterday I switched on the PC and Apple TV and where the raw shots had been there are now just blank spaces in every album. They are all numbered so Apple is recognising where the files are and counting them but none can be displayed. I am now reading that Apple TV can't read raw files but I'm not going mad, I have bored dozens to death with my slîde shows so I must have done something or updated something which has thrown a spanner in the works
A few details
Windows 7
Mcafee security
Photoshop elements 11
Home sharing is on PC, iphone 4, original ipad with same passwords
All albums/raw shots are viewable on PC and ipad
I have reset everything...repeatedly
When googling this I find no one with the same issue!
Help....please!

You can either drag them in Organizer workspace or import the folder. Or you can also use Adobe Photo Downloader. There are many options listed here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

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.

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.

Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

Daag Kees,
>[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
>[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
>What means "using Bridge" ?
Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
Prettige Kerstdagen!

I use Photoshop CS4 Extended. Today I went to load a Canon CR2 Raw file and Photoshop could not open it. Any help?

I had to reload my software about month back, would this have anything to do with this issue?

Check for yourself here:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
To check what version you currently have installed, in Photoshop choose Help - About Plug-in..., and pick Camera Raw from the list.

How do i import camera raw files to photoshop elements 9 when it is saying it doesnt recognise files from card.

how do i import raw files onto elements 9 when there is a message saying it doesnt recognise files

Hi Steve,
The Canon 700D requires a camera raw at version 7.4 or later - unfortunately that is not compatible with PSE 9.
You have three options.
1) Buy the latest PSE
2) Use the Canon software (DPP) that came with your camera to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then you can import the TIF files into PSE and use them.
3) Use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files and then import the DNG files into PSE.

Canon S120 RAW support in Photoshop Elements

I have Elements version 11. It will not recognize RAW files from my new Canon S120 camera. I saw that others have said that version 12 doesn't recognize RAW from this camera either. Anyone have any suggestions short of buying the full version of Photoshop, which I don't otherwise need?

Hi,
The S120 requires Camera Raw 8.3 or later. This is an update to PSE 12 but is not compatible with PSE 11.
If you don't want to buy PSE 12, then you could download & install the free Adobe DNG converter. You would then use that to convert your CR2 files to DNG files. The DNG files can then be processed by PSE 11.

How do I find exact duplicate photos in photoshop elements 10?

Hello everyone,
Just installed PSE10 on my windows 8 pro machine I got with a scanner. I am using the organizer and I tried the find>Visual Searches>Search for Duplicate photos but I got photos that were simillar and exact. I have a lot of exact duplicates that I want to delete, but don't want to delete the picutres that are similar. Can I change the parameters by which PSE10 uses to restrict the output to exact duplicates?
Thanks

I've moved this conversation to iLife - iPhoto for MAC. Apologies for any inconvenience.
