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

  • Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Hi,
    The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
    Your choices are
    1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
    2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
    3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
    Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 5 won't import RAW files from Nikon D7000

    Since the last two updates of Lightroom 5 I cannot import any RAW files from a Nikon D7000. I have imported thousands of photos previously in RAW from the same camera, and even iPhoto has no issues importing them. I just get an error every time, even though it shows a preview of the photos on the card.

    What error are you seeing when you try to import?

  • ICan I update Lr3 to recognize RAW files from Canon EOS T5?

    I just got a Canon EOS Rebel T5 and now I find out that Lightroom 3 doesn't recognize it's CR2 (RAW) files.
    The link below states that Lr 5.4 is the minimum Lr version required to read these files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    My question is, is there a way to update my Lr3 settings for free to recognize the T5's CR2 files?
    I can't afford to purchase the update for Lr5....
    Thanks!

    You need Lightroom 5.4 or later
    OR
    you need to download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 5.4 or later, and use that program to convert your RAWs to DNGs and then import the DNGs into Lightroom

  • 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:

  • Preview in OSX 10.7.5 does not recognize RAW files from Canon EOS 6D

    What must I do so that I can see downloaded RAW photos from my new Canon 6D in "Preview" in my iMac's OSX 10.7.5?  Preview does show photos from my earlier Canons fine.  My older version of Aperture can open the 6D's files, as can, of course, Photoshop.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe that Preview does not support RAW - only Aperture, a newer iPhoto version, and third party software will handle it. Does your Canon come with the Digital Photo Professional software from Canon? That should be compatible with RAW as well.
    Mountain Lion appears to have more compatibilities:

  • 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 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!

  • Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR.  Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that:  http://labs.adobe.com/

  • My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    No.  DNG is a RAW format.  There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc.  Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do.  There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
    I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6.  It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal.  I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file.  While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ].  Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer.  It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another).  I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
    Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing.  You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits.  But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?).

  • Itunes won't recognize my balance from a purchased gift card so I cannot buy any new songs

    itunes won't recognize my balance from a gift card & won't let me purchase anything from the itunes store. How do I fix this?

    I have a similar issue.  CD's I purchased were downloaded to ITunes years ago and used on my 1G and 2G Ipods and 3gs Iphone.  They are still on my ITunes but won't sync to my I phone 5.  curious if this is a licensing issue or flaw in the system.  Would love to hear my old CD purchased music without having to buy new digital music. Any insight to this situation would be great.
