I have Photoshop Elements 12 and the new Canon 7D mark II. My RAW files will not open.

I have already downloaded the plugin 8.7. I ran the exe file, an it still doesn't work. Am I am going to have to buy Photoshop elements 13 to get my RAW files to open? If that's the answer, I'll do that, but I just want to know for sure before I buy it.
Thanks

Hi,
Camera raw 8.7.1 is not supported by Photoshop Elements 12.
You need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 or you could use the Adobe DNG converter.
The DNG converter is a standalone application which can take the CR2 files and convert them toDNG files. The DNG files can then be processed by Photoshop Elements 12. This does add an extra step to your workflow though.

I have just purchased a Canon 7d Mk2 but the raw files will not open in Cs5 and downloads of Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 will not install. What can I do?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

You're welcome! It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
What counts is that you are back in business.

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.

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:

MY CS5 does not support my new Canon 7D Mark II camera Raw files on my Mac - what needs to be downloaded?

I'm having trouble getting the CR2 files from my new Canon 7D Mark II camera to CS5/Bridge - it says the files are not supported by the installed version of RAW. The DNG Converter dos not seem to help (I noticed it works for CS6 & CC only) What needs to be done?

I don't know your OS. If you have Vista (Windows) or OSX 10.6.8, you can only go to DNG 8.3, not the 8.7.1 you need.
What is your OS version?

D800 RAW files will not open in Photoshop CS6

I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success. I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
Any idea what the problem is?

Brilliant! ACR 7.1 Beta allows D800 RAW files to be opened within CS6 and it also allows Photoshop 4 to open D800 RAW files in Photoshop CS6.
It says that the Beta version will expire on 30/6/2012 after which it will keep advising on a daily basis although it will still work. Any idea, what happens next? Does Adobe issue a proper ACR 7.1 and distribute it as part of the update service?

Canon 70D Raw files will not open in Elements 11

My canon 40d camera works with Element 11 in raw.....upgraded to a 70d only to find that it wont open with raw...any chance there will be an update soon for this popular canon 70d.

The EOS 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 (the Adobe plug-in used by Elements to process Raw files) which is only compatible with Elements 12 and later.

Options:
Upgrade to Elements 12, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw files from the 70D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 11

RAW files will not open in Elements 8

I downloaded and installed several actions for elements8 this afternoon. I also downloaded a couple intended for photoshop that were self installing. I clicked on landscap_and_sky_action_by_fcpr,rar. I thought It would open and I could install the action like the others. Apparently, it self-installed as if\t was supposed to( just in the woring program.) Some little time after that I tried to home a new RAW file downloaded from my camera. I got the error message, cannot open (file name and full path) because it is the wrong type of file.
I have tried to open the raw files with file open and file open as specifiying that the file is a raw file.
I also tried to open an older RAW file with the same results (previously open before today.)
This is the first time I have had this problem. I have been using RAW files for the last year and half without any problems.
My best guess is that rar file corrupted a file somewhere, but I have no clue where.
lastly, I uninstalled elements 8 and reinstalled it. Same problem. I did note that when uninstalling elements, it does not erase the directories and many of the files. I have hestiated doing that as I have a massive set of photos in the Organizer, have updated the RAW Camera database (worked fine after that) and added several features (effects) to elements.
Any suggestions on a fix.

I removed the pior ACR and renamed it in case I needed it before installing the new one. The new one has been working for a year+ without any problems. This is a brand new problem.
I think I have found the problem. I installed Optikverve's Vitural Photographer yesterday. I thought it was a stand alone like the studio. I found that it installed inside Elements. That was just prior to Elements starting to refuse to open RAW files. Everything else (that I have checked ) seems to work fine. That says to me that program is the problem.
I have just finished a negative virus scan on the computer and I am getting ready to back up Organizer to an external hard drive. I am going then to remove Elements and wipe out out the files and directory structure that remains. I will then install Elements. That should put it back at "as new" state. I will have reinstall the new ACR files and the other addons. At least, it should work again. (I hope.)

Photoshop Elements Plug-in for Canon 5D Mark III

I just got a new Canon 5D Mark III camera. I can not open RAW files in Photoshop Elements 7. I previously had a nikon D200 and was able to read RAW files after I downloaded plugin. What plugin do I need to download for the Canon. Can't seem to find one.

Update to PSE12 or use Canon DPP that came with your camera disk. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files 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 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.
Refer to this link.

I own a version of Photoshop CS2 which is no longer supported. Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do you mean CS2 won't run on your present operating system?
Admittedly CS2 is rather old and Adobe no longer supports it, but it should still run on older operating systems. Which OS do you have?
Elements is one option. However if you want PS Extended with all the bells & whistles, look at the $10/mo Photography plan which includes Lightroom.
