IPhoto (and preview) not recognising Canon 350D raw files

Hi,
I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X (specifically preview and iPhoto) won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.
The images have finder thumbnails but if I try to open them I get:
The document "xxx.cr2" could not be opened.
Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
In iPhoto I get an 'Unreadable files' alert telling me it can't read them and then lists the files.
I know that it should work fine and am stuck in terms of what I'm doing wrong.
This problem has existed since I was on 10.4.7 when I bought the computer and camera - I'm now on 10.4.9. I did download the Aperture trial to see if that helped and had the same problems. Reinstalling OS X made no difference.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you run this update: Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (Universal)
Do you Twango?

  • Elements 11 will not recognise Canon Eos6D raw files

    Please help, i am getting the message " file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera raw"

    Thank you so much. I went to help/updates/  version 7.4 was available, I downloaded and the damn thing works!  Excellent, I was ready to put my fist through the monitor.....so many raw files to edit now

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • CAN NOT OPEN  CANON EOS20D  RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

    I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

    You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)

  • Adobe Lightroom 5.7 does not recognize Canon 60D raw files. I have Camera Raw plugin 8.7 installed. Is there solution?

    Neither Bridge CS6 or Lightroom 5.7 can recognize Canon's raw file (Canon Camera 60D).
    This only started a few months ago without any change that I made to the system
    Any clues?

    Is this only when reading CR2 files on the camera memory card or also for CR2 files that were previously imported to your hard drive (i.e. ALL of your 60D CR2 files)?
    LR 5.7.1 is only at Camera Raw 8.7. so OK. What Bridge, PS, and OS versions are installed? In Bridge go to Help> About Bridge
    From inside Bridge launch any raw file and check the ACR version:
    From inside PS go to Help> System Info and check PS and OS version:

  • Unable to recognise Canon 350D raw images

    Hi,
    I've posted this in the Tiger forums and someone suggested I try here too.

    difference.
    If you hadn't said that you'd reinstalled everything, then I'd be less puzzled.
    Firstly - are these files straight out the camera/off the card? Or are you using some Canon software to copy or look at them first? It's not unheard of for software like DPP to modify the files slightly and make them unreadable by third-party programs.
    Next - It's worth checking what versions of frameworks are installed on your system, against someone else who also has a Mac working with Aperture.
    This can be done by running "System Profiler" (Applications -> Utilities; or by going to the "About This Mac" menu (first option on top left Apple menu) and then clicking on "More Info...", select the "Software" option on the left hand side, and then select "Frameworks".
    Key ones to look at are:
    - ProKit (3.1)
    - QuickTime (7.1.3)
    - QuartzCore (mine's 1.4.11, but I've not updated to 10.4.9 yet.)
    also ImageIO (a part of ApplicationServices) is quite critical - but unfortunately SystemProfiler doesn't report that. But you say you've applied 10.4.9 (if you've installed either of the DigitalCameraRAW updates hopefully they were installed before updating to 10.4.9) so it should have been updated to the latest, correct version then.

  • Lightroom5 not recognising Nikon D300s RAW files

    Hi,  I have recently upgraded to a new iMac running OSx Mavericks.  Lightroom 5 is not recognising my Nikon d300s raw files (NEF).  According to everything I have read on the net it should as Lightroom is brand new and up to date.
    Any advice.?
    Thanks

    They all show up in the preview view finder but then I get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" with a list of the files underneath.
    This is the first time I have used Lightroom 5 with the D300s... having just changed computers and upgraded from Lightroom 4. I have also now found out I can't download JPegs either!?!?!? You know that feeling when you think "if it isn't broken don't fix it" that's how I'm feeling right now about buying the new computer and software!!

  • IPhoto 5 can not recognize Panasonic G1 RAW files.

    I learned by an unfortunate experience that the iPhoto libraries are very sensitive. I have thousands of photos in these libraries, all backed up. I never upgraded from iPhoto 5, which came bundled with this Mac. I now have the Panasonic DMC-G1 digital camera. This camera is supposed to be compatible with iPhoto. iPhoto 5 can upload only jpegs but not the RAW images.
    I once read where someone upgraded only to find a new iPhoto version could not recognize their old libraries. I don't want to mess with the these libraries and so I'd like to keep iPhoto 5 functioning.
    Question: In order to get the newest version of iPhoto do I need to purchase iLife?
    Question: Can I leave iPhoto 5 installed AND install a newer version that will be compatible with my Panasonic G1?

    Newer versions of iPhoto (particularly iPhoto '09) are more stable and have more recovery features than iPhoto 5 does
    In general if you stay out of the iPhoto library you will not have problems - although computers do fail and the backups are important (I have several backups including a daily clone, Time Machine and periodic backups to DVD )

    While someone may have had this problem, it is not normal nor is it common - the general case is that libraries upgrade flawlessly and the vast majority of people find that after an upgrade their libraries are identical to the way they were before the upgrade
    Question: In order to get the newest version of iPhoto do I need to purchase iLife?
    Yes
    Question: Can I leave iPhoto 5 installed AND install a newer version that will be compatible with my Panasonic G1?
    Yes - but it is easy to mess things up with multiple versions running and it would be very complicated to have your new photos in one library and your olds one in a different library (different versions of iPhoto can not access the same library)
    I do not keep old versions of iPhoto - Old Toad does - if you want to do that ask here and he can advise on how to accomplish it and teh issues to watch for

  • Converter 7.4 does not recognise Nikon J3 RAW files

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Converter 7.4 to convert the RAW files from my Nikon J3, but I keep getting 'No items match your search' when I try to select files that I want to convert.
    I have tried downloading Converter 8.1 as well, just to see if there were some updates that would help, but still no success.
    I am using the Nikon J3 with a 10-100mm VR lens.
    Does anyone have any tips?
    Many thanks for your help.

    You cannot choose individual files or groups of files within the DNG converter.  As the prompt indicates, you can only select the folder that contains the raw files.  If you want to convert individual images you have to drag/drop them onto the DNG converter icon.  You might consider installing DNG converter 8.1, which is the latest and will support the most cameras.

  • CS5.5 and Canon 6D RAW files

    I got CS5.5 and now I bought Canon 6D but although updated Camera Raw does not support Canon 6D RAW files (CR2). What is the problem?

    The 6D is not supported until ACR 7.3 so you need to upgrade your Photoshop to CS6 or CC or use the current version of the free DNG Converter to convert your images to DNGs, first.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Cannot import canon eos 350d raw files

    I have checked the suitable camera list and the canon rebel xt is lsted
    I am told that eos350d is the same camera ,also uses same user manual
    but i cannot import raw files into i photo 5.2
    I have noticed that the file extension of the canon raw files is.CR2
    any ideas anyone?
    thanks

    I was so frustrated about that too. I just bought this iLife 5 a few days ago (Oct, 9, 2005) because I figured that iPhoto 5 could download my canon 350 raw photos. I like iPhoto because it has nice photo orangization. I wonder after reading this whole discussion why there has not been an Apple personel responses the discussion here. What I am doing now is to use Canon ImageBrowser to convert all my raw into jpeg and then import to my iPhoto Library. It is s..k!
