I cant open CR2 files in elements 8

I have a new Canon 60D so excited until I go to edit my pics and itsays PSE8 does not recognise the CR2 files please help

If that camera is a new model, it migh not be supported as a RAW file in PSE8.
The latest version of Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) that's useable in PSE8 is version 6.2.
Here's a list of the supported cameras and the version of ACR needed:

If your PSE8 can't use the appropriate ACR version, use the Adobe DNG converter:

to convert the CR2 files to the DNG format, which you can then use.

  • Cannot open CR2 files in Elements 7

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open CR2 files in Elements downloaded from my Cannon 50D camera. Message says it's the wrong type of file. I've updated all the plugins, downloaded 5.4 and follow as many forums as possible but still no luck.
    Can anyone please help?
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Where do you get the error message?  When you import a raw file into the Organizer, or when you try to edit it?
    In the Editor, do Help > System Info.  What is the version shown for "Camera Raw"? Is more than one version shown?

  • Photoshop cs3 cant open CR2 files

    i cant open CR2 files in photoshop cs3 ( nope in bridge cs3)
    please tell me what should i do or download?
    thank you

    Troubleshooting 101: What OS? What camera? What version of Camera Raw do you have installed?
    Odds are you either need to update Camera Rae to 4.6 (the last for CS3) or download the DNG Convertor 5.4 to convert recent (as in the latest Rebel or 5D M3's).
    A place to stop regarding compatibility would be the Camera Raw product page and if you had bothered to mention your OS we could point you to downloads as well.

  • Can't open cr2 files in Elements 11 - win 7 64 - canon eos M2

    I can't open my cr2 files in Elements or in Corels Aftershot Pro2. They open in Canon's digital photo pro but that's not much help.
    Any ideas?

    Glenans a écrit:
    "As has been stressed before," - but not to me and I never imagined that there was any "present converting software that can edit the raw files from cameras which will be issued tomorrow". What I did imagine was that old software is updated to include newer and newer cameras and this seems to be the case.
    It's in my first post : "Since each new camera model has its own raw format," but I admit that the camera raw format is totally counter-intuitive, which explains why this questions is the most common in the Adobe feedback forum: Photoshop Family Customer Community.
    The technical problem is that the ACR module is not totally an independent module you could update without updating the whole Elements version. If you look at the list of required ACR version for different Elements versions, you can see that the ACR version may be updated to a certain point, but that may depend on your OS version. Adobe's solution with the DNGconverter has pros and cons. It's an additional step, yes, but when you deal with large batches, it's less of a problem. Also some may find the DNG conversion useful. My raw files are 32 GB, when converted to DNG they are reduced in size and the time to open them is reduced. I like the ability to 'lossly compress' them, which is a much better solution than saving to jpeg.

  • Cannot open CR2 files in Elements 8 or Bridge

    Hi, I hope someone can help me! I shoot in RAW, and have always edited my pictures in Camera RAW via Elements 8. I recently upgraded my old Dell to a new Mac, and now I'm having trouble. I cannot seem to open the RAW files in Elements, this is what I get when I try to open a file with Camera Raw (I know it says Photoshop Raw, but I do have Camera Raw selected):
    When I try to open a RAW file in Adobe Bridge, it's not even an option, it's grayed out. BUT, it will let me open jpegs in Camera Raw in Adobe Bridge! So confusing. So far I have tried updating the Camera Raw plug in. I followed the directions exactly, but no dice. When I look at the "about plug in" section on PSE, it shows that it is the updated version, 6.2.0.29. But when I look at a jpeg in Camera Raw through Adobe Bridge, it says Camera Raw version 5.0.
    Any ideas? I have a camera full of RAW files waiting to be edited and I'm so frustrated. Any help will be much appreciated!

    You can update ACR in PSE i farther than you can update ACR in bridge (adobe cut bridge off as soon as CS 5 came out, but PSE 8 got a few more updates).
    You don't mention the camera model.Photoshop raw and camera raw are two different things. How are you opening these files? You do know that you don't need to mess with the format section of the open window? Just select the file you want and it will set itself to the right format for you, so ignore that.

  • Cant open cr2 files in photoshop cs2 or cs3

    Is there any faster way to open cr2 raw files from my canon g11 camera in photoshop, the dng converter I downloaded takes way to long. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Probably not. Sounds like you are not able to use hardware acceleration because your system isn't up to it and thus any alternatives would probably suffer the same limitation and feel just as slow....

  • Unable to open CR2 file in elements 11

    Everytime I try to open a CR2 file i get an error 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 info."
    I am shooting with a Canon 6D and Canon 60D so I know the camera models are supported.  I have already updated to the 7.1 version of Camera Raw. 
    I have been trying to look for solutions for about two weeks now with no success... PLEASE HELP!!!

    Make sure you're online with a good connection, open PS 11, click on the Help menu and select "Updates.." on the bottom.  The rest should be automatic.  It should upgrade you to 7.4.

  • CS4 downloaded raw 5.7 still cant open cr2 files on windows 8 HELP!!!

    Does CS4 work ok on windows 8 I have purchased a new windows 8 laptop and installed CS4 and I could not open my CR2 files so I downloaded raw 5.7  convertor and still nothong can you please help.

    Your camera, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i EOS 500D EOS Kiss X3 Digital.  Has been supported ever since ACR version 5.4, so ACR 5.7 is the correct one to install.
    Note that we're NOT talking about the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.7, which needs to be launched and run separately from Photoshop or Bridge every time you have a new batch of raw Canon files in order first to convert them to raw DNG files. 
    No, we're talking about ACR 5.7, the Camera Raw plug-in 5.7 that you need to download and install in the precise location strictly according to the precise instructions on the download, and only then re-launch Photoshop and/or Bridge CS.
    If you downloaded the DNG Converter 5.7 by mistake, that's not going to magically or automatically open your raw files.  You need to look for, download and install ACR 5.7 in the correct location.  Here's the link to the Windows ACR 5.7 download:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683
    Installation Instructions
    After downloading a ".zip" file, use the operating system or a utility such as WinZip or PKZIP to access the file's contents.
    Need help with downloading? See our Downloading Help documents.
    This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4.
    To install with Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4:
    Manual installation on Windows®:
    1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
    2. Open the download file, double-click Setup.exe, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    3. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.

  • Cant open raw files in elements 11

    i have just purchased a canon 6d and when i launch elements 11 it just goes straight to the editing suit not the raw editor, how can i get over this.

    What operating system are you using?
    What is your screen resolution set at?
    Generally that indicates your screen resolution is to low to use the camera raw dialog and thus pse 11 skips the opening the acr dialog and just opens the camera raw file straight into the pse 11 editor.

  • Opening .CR2 files in Elements 10

    How do I access the
    'Camera Raw Dialog box?"

    Hi,
    Yes, the T4i requires Camera Raw 7.1 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10.
    The DNG converter is the way to go if you don't want to upgrade your version of Photoshop Elements.
    The one thing to watch out for when using the converter is that you give it a folder name not a file name. The following tutorial may help if you have problems.

  • I cant open raw files in my cannon 7d

    i have a cannon 7D cant open raw files in elements 11

    Here are what versions of Camera Raw support what models of cameras:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Here are what versions of Adobe software use what versions of Camera Raw:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Cross-referencing these two lists, it would appear that the PSE11 updated to its maximum ACR version of 8.0 will read DMC-G5 raws, and XZ2 raws, but not 70D raws, which you'll need PSE12 updated to ACR 8.3 to work with.
    What version of ACR do you have for your PSE11?  Use Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw to find out.

  • How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

    Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

    Hi,
    The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
    If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
    Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
    Which operating system are you running on?
