Import .cr2

I just purchased a Canon XSI. I have been having issues importing the .cr2 format, though. I found one person who was having problems and they said to select a different source, then move back to the card or camera, which solved one issue I had. The other, though, are pictures that I copied to a folder in the desktop. When I select to import from a folder, and then navigate to the folder, the pictures aren't available to import. They show up, but they're greyed out so that you can't select them. I am using Aperture 2.1.1 and Mac OS X 10.5.4. I tried installing the RAWCameraUpdate, but it told me that I was currently up-to-date and didn't need it. Anyone else still having issues with .cr2 and find a way to make it work?

you don't need to import that way ...
the option that you chose was actually for "folders into a project" ...
you can't grab just the images from there (folders only), choose the import -> images -> option instead ...

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

I have been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
- Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
- Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
- Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
- Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
- Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
- Reinstall all your apps and content
- Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too. It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad. Had to start clean.
It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved. This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

Importing *.CR2 files to Lightroom 3.6 - support of Canon EOS 70D

Hi,
try to import *.CR2 files from my new camera Canon EOS 70D to Lightroom 3.6, but it is not supporting format. What to do? Can anyone help me. Thanks a lot for your answers, yours Petr.

The DNG files are mainly supported by Adobe software. The CR2 files would be for any software that knows how to deal with 70D raw files and so the right answer for you depends on whether you feel you’ll want to use the raw data in other software or not, and what you feel you want decades from now if Adobe or Canon no longer exist. Personally, I’d just upgrade to LR 5.2 and not worry about DNGs, but I also already have compatible hardware so am not hit by having to upgrade my OS or hardware.

PSE6.0 organizer import CR2 files results in 'no preview'

When I import Canon CR2 files from my camera using the PSE Organizer (Windows "import with PSE6") I often get no RAW preview/thumbnails; a thumbnail is created for some of the imported RAW pictures but most of them not. When I have opened the picture (camera raw 5.3 start by double click, and close) in most cases a thumbnail is created and displayed. This shouldn't be necessary, I suppose ????
Does someone know this bug and how to fix it?

So, now I have to buy PSE 7? Isn't there a cheap(er) upgrade possibility? After all, it is a bug in PSE6. PSE7 costs almost as much as a 'new' / first install version, isn't it.
I would love to have the latest version, mostly not for the new features but mainly for bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

The bug was fixed in PSE 7 (one of the few PSE 6 bugs that were).

Lightroom 5.4 not importing cr2 files over a network?

Well, this is unfortunate.
Brand new iMac, just out of the box, OS updated.
Brand new Adobe CC subscription, everything updated.
Neither Lightroom 5.4 or Photoshop CC can import CR2 files stored on my NAS.
The Mac connects to the NAS just fine. I can see the photos and copy them to my new PC, but can't import.
I know LR doesn't allow storing CATALOGS on a network, but I've never had problems with the original raw files stored there.
Any advice?

Solved it!
I'm not sure why it makes a difference, but once I mounted the network folder and gave it an alias on the desktop, LR5.4 was able to import.
Here are the steps:

Raw import .cr2 files with Canon SX1

Hello !
Should Aperture be abble to import .cr2 raw files ?
If so , why can'nt I do it with my new SX1 from Canon ?
Thanks
Marcel Jacques

In the meantime try Adobe Digital Negative Converter (DNG converter): http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ not positive it will be compatible with the SX1 CR2, but Aperture will read the converted DNG. The concept is that although these proprietary formats may come and go, the DNG format is here to stay for Decades to come. +worth a shot+!

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files (5D mark III) by trial version

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files taken using 5D mark III by trial version.
When tried to synchronize the files not show when browsing, the import window comes up. All the Jpeg files, Raw files are seen in the window. None of them are highlighted nor selectable. LR is assuming that those files are already imported but if imported they are being shown for browsing or editing

Maybe you have set a Filter in LR. Press Ctrl-L once or twice to turn it off.
Maybe you don't have "All Photographs" selected in the Catalog Panel on the left.

HELP!!! I Can't Import .CR2 Files In Lr4?!?!

I have a Canon Digital Rebel T3 and everytime since yesterday I tried to import images it tells me it can't read file *****.CR2. I Am fairly new to photography but would like to know what a .CR2 file is and how suddenly I'm getting them and it won't let me import them. Did I accidentally change a setting in Lr4?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have just got LR4 and the same thing happened to me after I chose a new directory to import them to, just refused to import them. I am importing Canon 5D2 CR2 raw files. However, when I used the default 'my pictures' it worked. Not good when you want to specify a folder for your images. Have you had any more insights into this?

Why can't I import CR2 photos from a folder in my Mac into iPhoto 8.1.2?

My wife and I have separate iPhoto databases but to make our lives easier, I want to point my iPhoto to her database. Before I do that, I need to export a bunch of photos from my database and import them into her library. However, these photos are the RAW CR2 format and her iPhoto says it doesn't recognize the file format even though her library has hundreds of CR2 photos in it. When I try to go the other way and import a CR2 photo into my database, it works fine. Anybody have a clue as to the problem?

One possibility with music is that it is from a share source and identified as not paid for, I do not know the terminology, but i had to buy a song once to make it available in imovie, my original copy (no idea where i got it) would not show up. but this does not explain the photos not showing up.

Iphoto can't import .CR2 shot with manual lenses on intel imac

I'm shooting with a Peleng 8mm on my Canon REBEL Xt, it is a manual lens and my problem is that all the pictures shot with regular EF lenses can be imported in iPhoto, but the ones shot with the Peleng freeze the import process. I got this problem on 2 different intel iMacs, never on the PPC ones. and only with CR2 (raw) pics. JPEGs are imported, whatever the lens I shot with.
My idea is that manual lenses do not feed information to the camera. (regular EF lenses inform the camera of their aperture and approx. focus distance). Consequently, the EXIF in the CR2 file has no values for the aperture and focus distance. I think the problem comes from that, but I was wondering if nobody knows a workaround. I did file bug reports, twice.
if someone want to give it a try :
http://homepage.mac.com/karimc/iphoto_bugreport.zip
CAUTION: when you try to import the above file, iphoto hangs, you have to force-quit it and delete the contents of the "Import" folder in the iPhoto Library. Only for the strong.

Try converting the files to DNG and import that format. It should work.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help importing CR2 images

hi i'm new here ^_^
well i need help on importing my pictures that are CR2 to lightroom 1.4. It tells me that my pics are damage or it doesn't support it. can anyone help me on this please

The Canon Rebel XS was supported from LR 2.1 see this link.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4072
Your options to open your raw files in LR 1.4 is to use the latest Adobe DNG converter (present version is 6.3) to convert your CR2 files to DNG.
Retain the CR2 files for use with your Canon software since that will not read the DNG files.
The other option is to upgrade to LR 3.3 which has many new features including a more advanced raw processing engine, noise reduction and sharpening, and new Lens Correction feature.
The link to the DNG converter is here. (sorry did not get the link to insert but if you go to the adobe dot com/support/downloads/ you should be able to find it.)

Can't import Cr2 files from my Canon 60D into LR5

I took a trip to New Zealand and I shot in Raw +low res jpeg. I uploaded the files to my little Asus tablet I had purchased right before my trip because I was running out of SD cards. This is the only place I have quite a few images as I formatted the cards to reuse them. I have transferred them to an external hard drive with no problem and then to my main PC which has LR5. It doesn't seem to 'see them' when I try to import. Any ideas? I tried opening one of the images directly into Photoshop CS6 and then I saved it as a jpeg file - then I was able to import it into LR, but I have 100's of photos and not sure I can do a bunch at a time, but at least all is not lost. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

When you say "grayed out" do you mean a gray area instead of a thumbnail as can happen when the monitor profile is bad or do you mean the thumbnail is dim and washed out to indicate an image that cannot be selected as they would be if they had already been imported into the catalog?
You talk about shooting RAW+(low-res)JPG but no where to you talk about what happened to those JPGs. Did the JPGs remain on the tablet when you transferred things to the external hard drive prior to attempting to import or are they on the external hard-drive, too? Are you importing them along with the raw files, but have Treat RAW+JPG as separate files unchecked, so the JPGs have become the sidecar file to the CR2s? The size of the companion JPGs shouldn't matter as far as what happens with the CR2 files when you work with them. They take up space on the card and the tablet memory but I guess you wanted them so you could review your pictures on the tablet since the CR2 files are not processable on the tablet so wouldn't be visible.
Have you imported your camera's raw files into LR before? What is different this time from previous times, the source of the files, or the fact the files were on a tablet, or that there were companion JPGs, or the type of import is different because you usually import direct from the card? What type of import did you do, Add, because the files are supposed to stay on the external drive as the normal place for your images, or Move (or Copy) because the photos end up on an internal drive, normally?
When you open the JPGs in Photoshop, do they first open in Camera Raw or do you not see the ACR plug-in and they open straight in Photoshop?
When you say the saved JPGs out of Photoshop are 1/5th the size, do you mean pixel-dimensions size where a normal 4000x3000 image becomes 800x600, or that the file-on-disk size is of the CR2 files is 25MB but the JPG is only 5MB on disk? Images don't just become smaller in pixel dimensions without a resize happening, and it is perfectly normal for a JPG file to be much smaller on disk than the original raw file, since JPG files use lossy compression.
The imprecision of terms "grayed out" and "size" is confusing to me. I worry that somehow you don't have any CR2 files, only small JPGs, or that the CR2 files became corrupted because they were put on the tablet since you've never done that before. Can you provide an example CR2 file, uploading to www.dropbox.com and post a public download link, here--a file that you don't mind others seeing, just so it can be checked for corruption?

How to import CR2 files with XMP files?

I'm using LR 1.4.1 on a Vista platform (with service pack 1). Last week my OS got corrupted and I had to reinstall everything.
So I'm trying to get my catalog back into LR but am having a lot of trouble. When I try to open LR using the latest backup of the catalog, it only opens certain files. All others show up as a grey preview.
Frustrated at this not working, I decided to just import the CR2 files from my external HD. Problem with this is that it's not bringing in ANY of the develop settings. So all of my edits are gone. This is going to cost me hours and hours and days of time to redo.
I have several clients waiting on orders, galleries, etc and I'm at my wit's end on how to fix all this! Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Annie

> All others show up as a grey preview
Do you mean grey boxes as thumbnails or are images grey in loupe or develop module? If it's grey thumbnails, then it's because there are no preview files generated. Generating standard previews (or 1:1 previes) should fix it. If Develop module shows images as grey then I have no idea.
