I can't convert .cr2 canon raw files with DNG converter.

I have a Canon 1000D, and im trying to open RAW files to edit in cs4. Everytime i open it, photoshop says that it doesnt recognise this type of file, but i open my friends RAW file (450D) and it can read it. I have also downloaded DNG converter, and it comes up with this message (first image) but my folder has .cr2 files......im really lost
I have also asked for help on the photoshop forum, but they referred me here...
Thanks

That file is only 2.7 megabytes. Raw files are usually larger. That likely means it's truncated (cut off prematurely).
You haven't selected one of the modes called sRAW (Small Raw) have you?

How do I open .CR2 Canon Raw Files in PS Elements 8 for iMac

When I open a .CR2 Canon Raw File (Canon T3i camera) in PSE 8 for iMac, I get all greys - no color. It is showing as color as a .CR2 on my desktop - when I bring it into PSE, it is grey. I chose first 16 bit, then 8 bit. Same result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. George

Thank you Barbara for pointing this out. Since I'm new to forum stuff so missed the catch here. Got exactly same information as you posted. Got to know that ACR 6.2 doesn't support T3i files. It's ACR 6.4 which supports them but is incompatible with PSE8 ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html ).
So the solution seems to be either upgrade to a newer version of Elements or download the free DNG Converter ( http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html ) and convert the raw files to DNG.
Thanks again for correcting me here

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do with either Finder or Preview.
5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

Canon RAW files or DNG

Is it safe to assume that the .CR2 Canon RAW format will be around for a while or should I look at converting to DNG format? If the latter, I wonder when Aperture will be able to read DNG files?
Is there a way of converting all my .CR2 files that currently reside in my Aperture library to DNG format?
Many thanks
Mark

CR2 Canon RAW is a safe format. Millions of pix exist on it and it is unlikely to be dropped from support by major apps witnout upgrade conversion being made available.
Vendors like Nikon and Canon have been supporting their products for many more decades than Adobe has existed.
Camera vendors keep RAW image info proprietary and constantly evolving for improved image quality. DNG is Adobe's attempt at genericizing RAW capture but who says Adobe's conversion is in any way preferable? Each camera is somewhat different, but in general Aperture does a better job than Adobe ACR (the underlying converter for DNG), and often the individual camera vendors' RAW converters are better still.
DNG is only really useful for folks with brand new camera releases supported by Adobe but as yet unsupported by Aperture, and even then only if for some reason the camera vendor's free RAW converter is lame.
If the latter, I wonder when Aperture will be able to read DNG files?
Aperture reads DNG now.
Is there a way of converting all my .CR2 files that currently reside in my Aperture library to DNG format?
Sure, using Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), a subset of Photoshop. But unless ACR does a better job on your camera's files than both Canon and Aperture, which is highly unlikely, doing so IMO would at best be a waste of time, at worst lead to lowered image quality.
Edit:
The quality of RAW conversion in addition to being specific to each DSLR also is a matter of opinion subject to individual brain/eyeball evaluation.

How can I use EOS 6D RAW files with Aperture 3.2.4?

The EOS 6D RAW support for Aperture requires Aperture 3.4 or later. I tried to update to Aperture 3.4 but that requires OSX 10.8.3. I am stuck with OSX 10.6.8 for a while because I use Adobe CS5.5 and it is not compatable with newer OSX. So i do not seem to have a path for 6D RAW support. I can use my EOS 20D RAW files just fine. What is it about the 6D RAW file that necessitates OSX 10.6.8 or Aperture 3.4?

The common way is to try converting to DNG and then use the DNGs with Aperture. The drawback (other than the format conversion) is you lose camera specific optimisations with the DNG (mostly noise reduction tweaks for specific ISO values and colour tweaks).
In the past it would have been easy to edit a few config files to get Aperture to recognise new cameras with similar sensor tech as existing cameras, but this data is now encoded so can't be changed. It is a bit frustrating when you know there is nothing special about the sensor and Aperture would be able to process the data just fine.

CS1 + Cam Raw 2.3 = Still can't open .cr2 Canon 450D files

Why-o-why-o-why is this not happening??!
I've tried moving the plugin to outside of the Plug-Ins folder, as Adobe suggests but there is still no change...

Of course it doesn't work.
The first version to support the 450D was ACR 4.4 which requires CS3.
Use the stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 to convert the raw files from your camera to raw DNGs first, then open them in ACR 2.4.
Note that 2.3 will not work. You need ACR 2.4 hosted by CS.

I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter to my Mac OSX 10.4.11 and have tried opening RAW
files from my Canon Powershot G12 and EOS 550D SLR and the converter will not read the files. I have learned from other posts about dropping the folder into the icon but when I do the notice comes up "cannot parse the file." Any ideas out there?

Currently the upgrade to Snow Leopard (DVD in the box) is $29 US Cy from Apple:

Contrary to what it says there, that is all you need. You DO NOT need to upgrade to Leopard first. You can go straight from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard for $29.
CS4 will cease to be upgradeable towards the end of this year, perhaps as early as November of 2012.
The superior rendering in ACR 7.1 is more than worth the cost of the upgrade. You could even say that converting one irreplaceable raw image is worth the total cost.

Try Easy Find first, it's totally free, although Find Any File is indeed faster.

Finally if you still can't get DNG Converter 7.1 to launch, then download version 6.4, but nothing earlier than 6.4:

What do I need to get the 6.7 update [to read the CR2 canon raw files] installed in Photoshop elements 10 [new computer with Windows 8]?

I downloaded the zip file for the 6.7 update and unzipped it. I double clicked on the .exe file and it would not install. What do I need to get the update installed?

Is this the 6.7 camera raw updater you tried?
It's specifically for pse 10 on windows.

Can't open CR2 or JPEG files with Photoshop CS5 on Mac

I recently switched an existing install of Photoshop CS5 to a new MacBook Pro that's running Yosemite (10.10.1).
Photoshop could open most images (e.g. PNG, TIFF, PSD) but it could not—and still cannot—open any JPEG images. These same JPEGs open fine on Preview. I started this thread about the issue a few months ago:
Strange "out of memory" errors all of the sudden
I recently tried to open CR2 files from my (old but trusty) Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Photoshop says that it doesn't recognize the file type.
I tried to install version 7.1 of Adobe Camera Raw but each time I try to install it the Adobe installer displays a cryptic "Update Failed. This patch is not applicable for you." error message.
I don't know what else to try. I'd reinstall Photoshop CS5 but I don't know how to do this since it didn't come with any CDs and I can't find any Adobe resource online to reinstall Photoshop.
Help!

Trouble converting Canon Raw images to DNG

Hello!
I have been using the Adobe DNG converter for a while without any trouble to convert my .CR2 (Canon Raw) files, but today all I'm getting when opening the program is this:
So obviously I can't click on any of the buttons. I had the 8.7.1 version, so I downloaded the 8.7 version and the problem persists. I'm using a PC with Windows 7 if that helps. So far I've tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and re-installing the program (both versions), trying it with Photoshop opened/closed. Nothing works
Do you have any idea what I could do to fix this? Or is there an alternative that I could use to convert .CR2 files to .DNG?
Thank you!

Here is another thread indicating the same problem, and a possible solution:

Camera Conector and Canon Raw files

Hi
I have a Canon 30d, looking at buying a Ipod 30gig to use as a back up whilst shooting and filling a 1 gig cf card rather than keep buying cf cards...
Will the ipod accept the raw files? and will I be able to view the photos ie can an ipod read canon raw file format??
thanks
Steve

Hi
Whether or you can transfer raw photos from a camera to the iPod via the camera connector I don't know. However, I do know that on the older iPods (the ones with the color screen which can't play video) you could transfer a movie (mpg) that you had shot on a digital camera. Although the iPod couldn't play the movie, you could see tell if the movie had transferred, and you could then transfer the movie from iPod to the computer with no problems. Thus, it may be possible to transfer raw photos from camera to iPod via the camera connector and then from iPod to computer. However, the iPod CANNOT display raw photos, so even if you can transfer them, you won't be able to see them.
Hope this helps

Can't open Canon RAW files in LR1.3, Photoshop, Bridge

Hi.
I'm having a problem with some Canon RAW image files a second photographer sent me. He sent about 800 files and I'm only able to import into LR (1.3) about 15% of the files. The remainder will not import. Upon import, LR says something to this effect: "files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I tried them on both of my macs (my G5 and laptop) and had the same thing happened. Photoshop says: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
They show with this icon: file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%203.png
When I do the "get info" on these files, under "General:" it says, e.g., that a file is a 10.8MB file. Under the "More info:" box, it says the dimensions are 0x0 (that's weird because when I look at this for other good files there are numbers for the dimensions).
This is a picture of the "get info" window:
file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%201.png
I have tried to open these files in LR, Photoshop, Bridge and Preview and nothing will open these.
The files are locked so I unlocked one, but that made no difference whatsoever.
I noticed one thing about the naming convention on the files,but I don't think this matters. My own Canon RAW files always have the .CR2 extension. All of his files have the .cr2 extension. Mine are all uppercase and his are lowercase. However, I don't think this could matter because the files I was able to download of his all had the .cr2 extension, just like the ones I couldn't download.
(PS: Just in case you saw my earlier posting, this problem has nothing to do with that. This is another second photographer's files that I'm having problems with. Jonathon LeFaive solved that other problem for me.)
Thank you for any help you can provide! Martha

LR 3 is a complete new build so it will not overwrite the earlier version of LR 1.3 or its catalog or other settings.
The install procedure will recognize your LR 1.3 catalog and ask if you wish to create/ convert to a LR 3 catalog. This procedure will not overwrite your 1.3 catalog but will create a LR 3 compatable copy.
Download the trial which is good for 30 days before you will need to pay the upgrade price of $99 if you decide to keep. The trial is the full package and you will not be restricted in any way.
The new features are a substantial upgrade with significant improvement in the conversion output of your raw files.
Full details are provided in the "read me file" included with the download which should be read carefully before you install. The decision should be a no brainer.

Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
Thanks!

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.

1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc. here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

Can you save Canon RAW files as TIFF in iPhoto 6?

I was just wondering...
Can you save imported Canon RAW (.cr2) files as TIFF files in iPhoto 6? I know you can view RAW files in iPhoto, but I need to edit them in Photoshop CS, which I don't think supports Canon RAW.
Thanks!
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Photoshop CS, not CS2 or CS3, etc...

Robert:
Yes, you can export them to the desktop and select
tiff as the format to save as.
Have you tried opening the cr2 files with CS2? PSCS3
can open and edit them.
Do you
Twango?
I am stuck with Photoshop CS, and have not chosen to upgrade to CS2 or CS3 at this time. For now, I will use iPhoto to export RAW files as TIFF and open them in Photoshop. Thanks for your help!
