Lightroom 5 won't import my Canon EOS 60D .CR2 files

When I try to import my raw files to lightroom 5 and convert to DNG i get a message that says: "Could not copy files to requested location." and "Files could not be written" I tried converting the files to dng using Adobe DNG converter then importing them to lightroom but they still won't work. Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw both read the files fine. I just prefer to use Lightroom so it would be wonderful if someone could help me out! Thank you

figured it out from another discussion. had to do with the destination folder not allowing the files to be written!

Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

How do you import photos from a Canon EOS 60d into Lightroom without distortion of photos?

Is there a plug in needed or how does one get the photos from Canon EOS camera into Lightroom? My come through looking distorted and noisy.

Ok, full story...
I have a Canon EOS 60D and was editing in DPP software that came with the camera.
I wanted more editing options so I bought Lightroom.
All of a sudden photos that look good at home were being sent to printer and I was being told they couldn't print them at all. If I take the exact same photo, import it into the DPP software and edit it to look good on my computer and send it to the same printer they print it with no issues.
I was selling on Deposit Photos some, now they won't even accept my photos the quality is so bad. But again, same photo edited in DPP they accept again.
THere are two issues I am having, the one going to the printer or deposit photos is they leave my computer looking bright and good to me and get to the other site so dark you can't see the photo at all.
The biggest issue I have been noticing is if I shoot with 200, 320 or 400 ISO, they look very fuzzy and I thought pixelated at first. After reading forums with other Canon users having the same issue, people are saying it isn't true pixelation. That the real problem is Lightroom not being able to intrepret the data so they look like there is a lot of noise and I have a bad picture.
Before reading forums, I had also emailed Canon to see if there was an issue with my camera. This was Canon's reply.... If you are recording RAW image files, are you using the Canon software to convert them to jpg or a third party program? Sometimes programs like Lightroom and Photoshop do not interpret the files correctly and the result could be noise or a colorshift. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the RAW plugin for which ever software application you are using, or try using the Digital Photo Professional software included on the EOS Solution disk.
I use Lightroom 4 and it has been updated regularly to the latest updates as they come out.
I shoot in RAW only and never shoot above 400 ISO, usually 160-320 range.
I have taken the same photos at 400 ISO and opened them in the DPP software and there is no noise at all, nice and clear. I am only having this issue when I put them into Lightroom.
I would really prefer to edit in LIghtroom as you have a lot more creative options there but there has to be something I need to do that they work in Lightroom as they do in DPP. I have also used NERO in the past with no issues. The printer person I send to is accepting them in Photoshop.
Do I need to purchase some sort of plugin to have them work in Lightroom? Distortion was a bad choice of word, more fuzzy noise look then true distortion, sorry about that confusion.
Thanks
Ann

I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Aperture and RAW support with Canon EOS 60D

Got my new Canon EOS 60D yesterday. But Aperture does not support the new RAW photos from the EOS 60D yet.
Anyone with the same problem?
When is Apple updating the RAW support for the 60D in Aperture?

Well, DNGs don't actually contain all the data of the original raw file, so that could be an issue.
As an example, the focus point functionality of Aperture 3.0 doesn't work with files converted to DNG, as the camera-specific information has been stripped from the file by Adobe. I don't know whether the DNG format can actually hold that info or not, but as of today it doesn't.
Apple historically has tended to support the new SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon, so I wouldn't be surprised if support came along shortly. That said, buying a camera the day it's available and expecting immediate support for its raw format is not all that reasonable. The vendors providing raw support don't necessarily have access to pre-release versions of the cameras (in general), so there's going to be some time necessary to develop and QA the support for the new format.

When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?

Hi, all...
The Canon 6D is not in the current list of supported cameras for tethering in Lightroom. When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?
Thanks

To be clear: Lightroom 4.3 now supports Canon 6D Raw files

Not wrong?
Let us have a look at the error message:
"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

I have a Canon Eos 60D

I own a Canon EOS 60D and want to know if an older Sony EMC-X200 microphone can be used to record and will these be compatible?

Import screen cannot enlarge preview thumbnail from Canon G15 raw CR2 file

Lightroom 4.3 import screen does not seem to be able to enlarge for better viewing the preview thumbnail from a Canon G15 raw CR2 file?

HI,
I do not know the answer, but I would expect, that Lr only displays the embeded jpeg preview of your raw files. And I think, that the previews are small. You can use exiftool , exiftoolgui to see what's the dimension of your previews.

Canon EOS 6D Raw File

Canon EOS 6D raw file will not open in CS4 with Camera Raw version 5.7.0.213

That's to be expected. Adobe does not make a practice of adding new camera support to versions of Photoshop that are no longer selling.
But you're not out of luck. If your camera is newer than your version of Photoshop, you'll want to do one of two things:
1. Use the latest version of Adobe's free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the .DNG format, which can then be read by your older version of Photoshop.
-or-
2. Upgrade Photoshop to the latest version, which (assuming support for your camera has already been added) will be able to open the raw files directly.

Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type. When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog, and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the .CR2 files.
Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly. No doubt about that.
Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves. At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

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.
