Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

Can't import RAW files from Canon Rebel Xsi (450d)

I have to use an Adobe Camera Raw program to convert to DNG files and then import into iPhoto 08'. Not sure if I like DNG file and if there is any loss from converting. JPGS work fine. Love the Camera, shoots great photos. Does anyone know if Apple or another program that will convert into a Raw format from the Canon that iPhoto will take? Or will I just have to wait for a driver? I can import directly into Photoshop CS3 just fine.

That camera is so new that you're just going to have to wait for RAW support. Your option, in the meantime, is to use the Camera Raw conversion.

Lightroom 1.4 won't read RAW images from my camera

I upgraded from a Canon Rebel XT to a Canon 1000D (Rebel XS), and it won't read RAW files anymore. When I try to import a RAW file, it says "file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
I've read that I can download a plugin to solve this problem, but I'm not having much luck. I've downloaded Camera Raw 5.2, which says that it supports the Canon XS, but it's still not working. Perhaps I've installed it incorrectly? Please help. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but another workaround for this common issue of trying to use RAW images taken with a newer camera than is supported by the version of Adobe software you have may be to use Canon software included with the Canon XS to import the Canon RAW images to your PC's hard drive, and then import them using the Adobe software. If they're still not recognized by LR, you'd have to first convert them with Canon software to another format such as TIFF or JPG, which of course, besides being a nuisance additional second step, loses the advantage of having taken the photo in RAW to begin with, though you could do basic white balance and exposure corrections with Canon software on the RAW files before converting.
If you'll be using a lot of XS RAW photos in Lightroom, it's probably worth the hundred bucks to upgrade to LR2 which most users feel is much more powerful than LR 1.4 anyway and therefore worth the charge. The adjustment brushes, graduated filters, and improved sharpening make the upgrade worthwhile, and then LR could import your XS' RAW photos directly from the camera. However, *if* your PC is barely managing with LR 1.4, you may find LR 2.x too slow for your PC. You can try LR 2.x first for a time for free before paying for the upgrade. Check out the video tutorials on the upgrades because their use is not intuitive and you may falsely conclude they don't add much function if you don't learn how to use them.

Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them. I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files? Thanks!

I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions. But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images. Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now. You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files. Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

Can Aperture 3 read Raw files from Canon G1X?

Is Aperture 3 capable of reading Raw files from a Canon G1X?
I'm currently using an elderly version of IPhoto, having resisted upgrading because of negative feedback about the latest version. My IPhoto version cannot read the Raw files from the G1X. I also tried importing one into Picassa, but the colours looked completely wierd.
I'm now considering buying Aperture 3 but will maybe wait until:
a. Aperture 4 is released and;
b. I know that Aperture can indeed read the Raw files from the G1X.
Any help/advice gratefully received.
Frank P

see this list:
Aperture 3: Wide raw support for leading cameras:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Your camera is supported by Aperture 3.
P.S. and the camera is supported by MacOS X 10.7.4.,
see: OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
What is your MacOS version? Perhaps upgrading to 10.7.4 should make the raw support available in iPhoto too.

CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi won't open in CS2

Ok, so I have a powerbook G4 with Tiger Mac OS X and CS2 student version. I am basically computer illiterate so feel free to state the obvious here.
I bought a new Canon Rebel XSi and have been shooting raw CR2 files. I have done this in the past with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and never had a problem... now the error window pops up saying my file is unrecognizable. I did the only things I know how to do which was to check for updates and verify permissions in disc utility - this did not help.
Still thinking it was my computer or the software I backed everything up and wiped the hard drive clean by erasing and reinstalling the original discs and then reloading CS2 and again doing all of the updates - this did not help.
I have spent 3 days reading in these forums and trying to clear caches and download DNG's (by the directions into the right library) and still it does not work. I even downloaded trial versions of CS3 and CS4.
Now I'm sure my computer is a downloaded mess and I still have no access to my raw files!
Please Please Please help me!

You're welcome, Nikki.
 
 >what do you do with the paper with a hard drive icon on it when you download something?
 
 I assume you mean the
disc image file with a ".dmg" extension.
 
 Personally I keep any such disc image file if its contents prove successful and discard it when a new version comes along that also proves to work OK. Otherwise, I delete them right away. It's your choice. I prefer to have the dmg file around in case I have to install its contents again for whatever reason without having to download it again.
 
 That being said, I don't keep anything on my desktop,
ever. I download everything to a "Downloads" folder inside my Documents folder.
 
 Here's what my desktop looks like all the time:

Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D

I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@. I've just purchased a Canon 70D. Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2. I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4. Is there some way I could preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?

You need to upgrade to PSE12. 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) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
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:

Reading raw files from Canon 70D

I have Photoshop Elements 11 and just got a Canon 70D. How can I get the program to read the raw files?

Jo_vdh wrote:
if I understand correctly, the only way to open the CR2 files from canon 70D is upgrade to PSE12.
No. Adobe offer the free DNG converter that will convert those CR2 files to Adobe's DNG RAW format that can be opened in PSE11, or pretty much any version of PSE going back five or more years.
Jo_vdh wrote:
it's already kind of worthless.
The Organizer and the Editor still do everything they did when you bought the product and Adobe provide a continuing solution to enable RAW processing in older versions of the software so I don't see how it has suddenly become worthless?
And noting that you bought it the month after PSE12 was released I hope you got it heavily discounted.

Downloading raw images from Canon Rebel XTi and problem with Border FX

Aperture no longer downloads raw images from my Canon 400D / Rebel Xti and installed Lexar Professional UDMA card. I am able to download images to my Dell laptop. This is a new phenomenon only occurring since about 10 days ago. I am currently able to download images from my Canon 5D.
Also, my computer has locked up 4 times today when I have been starting Border FX. I have seen a screen saying that I have to restart my computer by holding down the on button. I have the most recent version of the Border FX software.
Any suggestions please?

Join the crowd! I just started to experience exactly the same thing on both of my systems. Apparently the latest raw camera drivers broke something related to Canon Rebel cameras. I'm using the Rebel XT.
I tried a quick experiment the other day. I shot a bunch of test photos forcing the camera to store them as JPEGs. I was able to download those without a problem. I then forced the camera back to raw mode and shot a few more pictures on the same memory card. The JPEGs that I was able to download previously no longer will download and neither will the raw files.
I tried reverting to the older camera raw driver on my notebook but for some reason it won't let me do that. I haven't tried reverting on the desktop yet.
Hopefully this problem is fixed quickly. I've got a ton of pictures from a recent vacation I'd like to off load.
By the way, this affects the iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture apps.

Lightroom 2 Can't Read RAW Files from Canon 6D

I bought a new Canon 6D in December. I am currently editing in Lightroom 2. However, Lightroom 2 does not seem to be capable of reading my RAW files. I guess I need to upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom? If so, will the new version incorporate my existing images from Lightroom 2?

For the record, the Canon 6D was first supported in Lightroom 4.3 (and later versions but not earlier ones).

Lightroom 3 won't recognize RAW downloads from canon 6D

HELP!
I just purchased a canon 6D, and took some RAW test shots. I wanted to see what they looked like on the monitor, tried to download them, but it doesn't recognize the file. I think the version of lightroom I have isn't "new" enough to manage those files...I have lightroom 3...what do I do?
Thanks!

Yes, that's right, Lightroom 3 will not recognize the RAW from a CAnon 6D.
You can either purchase Lightroom 6 from Adobe, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter (I'm not sure what the latest version is but I know Version 8.8 had previously been released and will work) to convert the RAW to DNG and then import them into Lightroom 3

Reading RAW files from Canon EOS 550D

I take pictures in RAW and process them with Elements 8. I had no problems when using a Canon EOS 1000D but now that I am using a 550D Elements is not reading the files. It is not just that it will not open them - it does not even read them as files.
I know that the camera is capturing good files, and that they are transfering to the computer because I can read them with the Canon utility Digital Photo Professional.
What do I need to do in order to get Elements to recognise my files?

I purchased PSE8 and installed it then ran the download 5.7 and discovered it still does not work by putting the Camera Raw.8bi file into the Photoshop Elements 8.0 Plug ins file as detailed on Adobe's instructions. It still would not import the raw files. I then discovered another method through another helpful thread to place it as follows:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
This works! The only downside is that when you open the editor from the organiser you get a bad command box saying that it does not like the Camera Raw.8bi file in this location, but if you ignore this message it still proceeds to open the editor and you can proceed as normal. I have tried to put the Camera Raw.8bi into the other Plug-In files to see if it behaves better without any luck, so if anyone has any further ideas to stop this bad command box then everything will be as it is meant to be!
To be honest this update has been available for months so its also up to Adobe to pull their finger out and get it corrected because they are still giving the same instructions for newer updates as well.
I hope this helps somebody !!

Lightroom 4. dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.

I have purchased lightroom 4. It dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.
I have downloaded and ran the suggested file from Adobe, but still no luck.
Anyone have the answer?

The initial release of Lightroom 4 doesn't handle the 5d mk 3 files because of when the camera was released. You can either wait for the 4.1 release, or you can download the 4.1 Release Candidate 2 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-1/.
Technically you can also download Adobe's DNG converter, but that just adds another program to the situation.
