IPhoto not recognizing RAW files

I have a Canon t2i (550d) and have taken photo's in RAW mode... however neither iPhoto of Aperture seem to recognize this type of file (.cr2, a canon type of raw file).. it seems to be supported by other camera's.. is anyone else experiencing this , or a similar issue? All software updates are current.

While it is true that every CR2 is different, the actual file internals have no more difference than, say JPEGS. After all, Adobe can take almost any RAW file and convert it to an equivalent DNG. It is really that each camera is different. Each sensor responds differently to light. Without Canon's help, Apple must get hold of (several?) cameras and take a bunch of images and profile them. If you are interested, here are the details of what needs to be done:

Lightroom 4.4 not recognizing RAW files from supported cameras

I started to get problems with Lightroom not recognizing RAW files from my Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras but I thought it was a problem with RC. After downloading some files today in 4.4 without a problem I encountered the same error message (unable to inport listed RAW files) again. The files open fine in Bridge. Any idea what is causing this problem?

Hi Geoff
I use a Mac with the latest version of Mountain Lion OS. The image files are being imported from the cards; in the case of the Fuji an SD card inserted in the card reader slot on the Mac and in the case of the Canon a CF flash card in a card reader attached to the Mac.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Photoshop has updated recognition of RAW files from the Nikon D750.Lightroom does not recognize these files. How do I obtain update for LIghtroom?

Thank you. Where do I find DNG converter 8.7 RC?
Lightroom is useless without ability to access RAW files. I don’t want to wait for 5.7

PS/Bridge not recognizing raw files - HAVE updated DNG Converter & Camera RAW

Had to re-install my Adobe CS3 due to hard drive crash.
Now that I have re-installed, Photoshop & Bridge won’t recognize my raw files.
I HAVE updated my Adobe Camera Raw (3 times in the last hour), and my DNG Converter (4 times in the last hour). Nothing works. Any ideas?

If in photoshop cs3 you go to Photoshop>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, which version does it show?
Since photoshop cs3 can only use up to camera raw 4.6 and the EOS 5D Mark II requires at least camera raw 5.2, cs3 won't open those files directly without some help.

The 4.6 camera raw plugin update for photoshop cs3
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 4.6 update
You could use the 8.7.1 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies which then bridge should see and photoshop cs3 should be able to open.

Not recognized raw files from Nikon D7000

Hi,
I have just bought a Nikon D7000 in stead of my D60. Now my Photoshop Element 9 cannot recognize the files/pictures, which I do not understand. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
That's strange, I have just managed to download it on a windows system.
As I said earlier, I don't have a MAC system so I'm not sure what to check there.
You could try this - it's the 6.3 update

Hopefully a MAC expert might jump in.

Why does iPhoto 9.4.3 not recognise RAW files from a Pentax K3 camera?

Why does iPhoto 9.4.3 not recognise RAW files from a Pentax K3 camera? It does from a K7.

Because it requires Mavericks - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
OS X Mavericks provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats from the following cameras.
Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.04*
Fujifilm X-E2
Fujifilm X-T1
Nikon D3300
Nikon 1 AW1
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GM1

Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

Sounds like a damaged card. Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera. Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.

Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955

I ran MacKeeper and demo'd my wife's iPhoto archive bigtime: RAW files appear corrupted and lotsa pix w/no thumbnails or "!" marks instead. Help!

I ran MacKeeper and demo'd my wife's iPhoto archive bigtime: RAW files appear corrupted and lotsa pix w/no thumbnails or "!" marks instead. Help!

Should I take it that recco'd means 'recommended'? Still have no idea what demo'd means in the context you use. I've often seem it as an abbreviation for 'demonstrate' but that makes no sense. The problem with idiosyncratic abbreviations is that other people don't understand them.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Anyone know how iPhoto '08 handles RAW files?

I use Aperture right now...just wondering

I've got issues with how iPhoto '08 handles RAW files from my Nikon D40. When I first bring up a photo in full screen, it appears soft and slightly out of focus. After 1-2 seconds, it sharpens to full focus but it also brings in additional digital noise. It is primarily visible in skies and areas with subtle color changes. Thankfully I'm not seeing the same in Aperture.

Bridge CS5.1 not recognizing RAW from Canon 5DM3...

Hello All,
I'm having difficulty with Bridge CS5.1 recognizing RAW files from a recently aquired Canon 5DM3.
I've downloaded the 6.7 patch and ran the adobe installer (which gave no error), rebooited the Mac, ran subsequently "purge cache" under "tools", and still no avail. The blank icon persist, "Camera Raw Options" continues to be unavailable, and cant find where the RAW data files are/were (compounding this problem is that macs and adobe are new to me).
I realize that this issue has been previously addressed, but following some of these suggestions, I still can't get the patch to work. Any suggestions and comments will be most appreciated.

Like Curt stated, in PS go to menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera raw. This brings a window showing the correct version number of Adobe Camera Raw (it should state 6.7 and only one version visible.
On you system it should be in this location:
In Finder use column mode and click on your disk with the system on it (normally it shows 4 folders: Library , Users , Applications and System) Click on Library and follow this path / Application Support / Adobe / Plug-Ins / CS5.1 / File Formats. Inhere should be only one file called "Camera Raw.plugin"
If you click on this file the info next to it should show the version number, in your case 6.7

Photoshop Elements 5.0 can not find raw files on camera

I'm running Photoshop Element 5.0 on Windoze Vista.
For some reason Adobe Photo Downloader does not see any of the raw files
on the CF card.
I have a Canon G3 and Canon D20 neither of them work anymore.
It used to work with PS 4.0.
The weird thing is I can copy the files over to a directory on my laptop through the windows copy command and then import the raw files via 'Import from directory'.
Going that route I can see and edit the files but going directly through Photo Downloader does not work. It sees the jpegs fine, but not the raw files.
I tried both Raw 4.0 and 4.1.
Not sure what is going on.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with my Nikon D50. With a lot of help from Adobe technical support, I got round it by changing the USB configuration in the camera from PTP to the older "Mass Storage".
I was told that it was a compatibility problem between the camera, Vista, and Adobe, that should be corrected sometime in the future.

Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list. Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.
