Lightroom and CR2 Files

I have just downloaded lightroom and it cannot read my CR2 files downloaded from iPad. Any ideas to solve problem appreciated

Is this the process you used?
"Getting Photos off the iPad
After you have transferred photos to your iPad using the CCK, you may be wondering how you get them back off the iPad.
You do this by connecting the iPad to a computer using the standard sync and charge cable that came with your iPad. When connected this way, the iPad appears as a removable drive in your file browser, just as if you had connected a camera or a card reader.
You can then copy the files over to your computer using the default file manager, or using the import function within your desktop software such as Lightroom or Bridge. The raw files will be just the same as if you can transferred them from your camera or storage card."

Windows 8 Elements 11 Problem with DNG and CR2 files

Have a Windows 8 machine with Elements 11 which has Camera Raw 7.4 installed and showing correctly in the editor. The Browser shows thumbnails of the DNG and CR2 files, but when an attempt is made to edit them, the editor opens but does not open the file. Same thing happens if I try to open the file using the File Open from the menu.
Also I have been through the help and forums and found an article about opening jpeg files as Camera Raw files (http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-jpeg-files-in-adobe-camera-raw-in-photoshop-element s/) and this does not work either.
Help please !

Disclaimer: The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER. I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails. Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system. Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it. In any case, I find it works very well.

Dng and CR2 files display as icons in CS5

Now I have installed CS5 on three machines - a new installation on WIN7, and here everything is alright - no problem!
Two machines running XP wth a previous CS4 installation uninstalled show up in Bridge with this problem:
dng and CR2 files display as icons!!
Everything is updated, ACR plugin placed as should be, and Camera RAW is working fine when OPENING the file. It is only a display problem, but this is serious enough - you cannot go through your downloaded pictures.
I have tried to follow a solution close to the one given for CS4:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
but I am out of luck.
Is it an XP problem, or has it something to do with the previous installation of CS4?
Any suggestions will be great! I have searced, read, tried, searched, tried.... some share this problem, but I haven't seen any soloution.
Thanks, Jan

Why have all my Lightroom and Photoshop files just developped an awful colour shift? how do I correc

Why have all my Lightroom and Photogshop files suddenly developped an awful colour shift when they did not have this a week ago? I can open them in other applications and they view correctly. How can I correct this in Lightroom? HELP urgent!!

Antonia,
Probably your monitor profile is corrupt.
If you're on Windows, see here:
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14070-How-to-assign-an-sRGB-ICC-Profile-to-y our-monitor-%28Windows%29
If you're on a Mac, you'll need to try something similar to set your monitor profile to sRGB. NOTE: this is merely a temporary fix. You need to acquire a hardware calibrator (decent ones can be had for around $100) and calibrate your monitor with it.

In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview. I have to open the file to be able to see it. Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

Raw and CR2 files won't sort by time

I recently shot a wedding with my Nikon while my second shooter shot with her Canon. We made sure the times were the same so that Lightroom could work its organization magic. After I uploaded them, the CR2 files showed up above the Raw files. All of the images are in one folder and I have it set to Sort by Capture Time, but they will not mix together according to their times.
When I uploaded my Nikon images I realized that my year was off. It was set to 2010 instead of 2011, so I changed the metadata accordingly and it changed to the correct year for all of my Nikon images. I uploaded the Canon images after that incident, but they still won't sort by time. Do you think that metadata change has something to do with the images not mixing together or it is the file names?
There are about 1400 images all together it will be quite an exhausting experience to have to organize them myself. So I would definitely appreciate some help!
Thanks!!

Check the timezone of each filetype.
The US is several hours behind GMT so if the corrected NEFs are GMT-relative while the CR2s are US-time-zone-relative that could explain the issue, or maybe one camera had timezones set on it and one didn’t and the difference has nothing to do with the metadata correction you did.
Did your metadata correction update the headers of the RAW files, themselves, or just LR’s internal information in its database and/or XMP files?
If the RAW files were modified, check the timestamps with EXIFtool:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
If only the LR-stored metadata was modified, not the RAW files, themselves, then create an XMP file for one CR2 and one NEF taken about the same time, using Metadata->Write Metadata to File(s), and examine the two XMP files in a text editor to see what the timestamps and timezones say.

Linking adjacent JPG and CR2 files

Most of my folders treat adjacent JPG and CR2 as one file when viewing in Lightroom. However, I have one folder that for some reason treats them as two photos—they are not linked together. How can I fix the photos in that folder so the adjacent JPG and Raw files can be viewed as a single photo?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I tried that with stacks at 1 second and then collapsed stacks and it worked well. However, what shows up now is the JPG. How can I have the Raw CR2 show up on top of each stack?

Lightroom and cr2 from my new Canon T3i :( ?

What's the story...? Neither Lightroom nor photoshop can open CR2 files from my new Canon rebel T3i? I've never had an issue with raw files as I have a bunch of canon cameras. Canon says it's not their problem. Is this on Adobe? I don't understand this phenomena. It seems particular to this camera and that is worrisome... do different cameras write raw files differently? Isn't a raw file a raw file? Even when I copied the files off the card onto the desktop still can't open them.
Am using Mac OS 10.6.7, lightroom 2, PS CS 4
Advice/insight would be appreciated as I still have time to return the camera :-)
thanks,
tom

If you've never had problems then your version of Adobe products has always been newer than your camera model.
Each new camera requires specific updates to Camera RAW and Lightroom to support it. Adobe only updates the current versions of software with new camera support. This means you'd need Lightroom 3.4 and Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.4 to handle the new T3i. These two versions are in beta, right now, from Adobe Labs. Time to upgrade.
If you don't want to upgrade the alternative is to use the DNG Converter, and convert your CR2s to DNGs. These will be readable by older versions of LR and ACR.
The DNG Converter that supports the T3i is the DNG Converter 6.4 Release Candidate from Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/
Click into the Camera RAW 6.4 RC a couple clicks an you'll get the download link for DNGC 6.4 RC for a Mac.

Sharing to FB and CR2 files

Hi all, thanks in advance this website is such a great resource to have questions answered!
Running PSE9, Win7, Canon 1100D with CR2 raw format, facebook.
I shoot in raw and work with my photos in the organizer in raw, only changing format when neccessary for output.
When I do edits in raw such as exposure, crop, WB, recovery, these edits are reflected in my organizer previews 100% of the time.
If i take a raw photo that was cropped, recovered, exp. adj. etc from the organizer and share to Facebook I have found once
the photo appears on FB it does not always reflect my raw edits. I find it to be unreliable, some edits go through to the web
other ones do not with no predictable pattern or rule.
Taking my edits and saving as JPEG guarantees they will show up as I want when shared to FB however this adds an extra
step to my workflow and takes up more memory having version sets which I would prefer to avoid.
Can anyone offer any insight here? I have looked the the PSE9 user guide, aftermarket PSE9 books, facebook help, and there
doesn't seem to be anything out there detailing the sharing to Facebook.
Thanks again!

As long as the XMP files are intact along side the CR2 files then All of the Edit adjustments should be available.
The only difference I could think of would be if you click the open image button in Camera Raw to send an image for further editing in Elements Full Photo Edit as 16 bit.

Stacking of DNG and CR2 files

When creating DNG files, I prefer to leave the CR2 files in the same directory and not embedded in the DNG files.
This prevents the DNG files from doubling in size and thus prevents them from taking twice as long to open/read/write/etc.
However, LR does not recognise IMG_1234.DNG and IMG_1234.CR2 as being the same like it does IMG_1234.CR2 and IMG_1234.JPG.
It would be nice for it to automatically stack photos like this:
DNG
CR2 (or other native raw)
JPG

I doubt many use the same schema for both DNGs and RAWs in the same folder. For one, it'd be too easy to in some cases edit the RAW, and others editing the DNG. One reason I never shoot RAW + JPEG; having all three would be unworkable for me.

CS6 and CR2 files.

Hello, I've just recently switched from CS5 to CS6. I am also shooting with a new 5D Markiii. I'm still shooting in raw but when I pull my images thru Bridge it shows a CR2 file. I can't pull those images into Camera Raw or photoshop. I checked to make sure my updates were up to date, and they are. I'm not the most savy computer person in the world but clearly I'm missing something. Can someone help me? Please!

Photoshop CS6 come with ACR 7.0 which does not support Cannon D800. So, you need to update to ACR 7.1

Photoshop Elements 9 and CR2 files.

I have Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 on a Windows 7 laptop and I can't open CR2/RAW files. Is there something I can do to open CR 2/RAW files in PE9?

You need camera raw 7.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE11 to 13. 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)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Mac mini good for photoshop, lightroom and large files?

Hello all,
My brother finally wants to switch from windows to mac and asked me for advice. He is a young photography professional so his primary need is to run photoshop, lightroom and be able to use large RAW files and 100+ MB photoshop files.
He still has a 27" high resolution screen, so my first option to look at is the Mac Mini with the 2.7 GHz dual core i7, 8GB of ram and the standard 5400 rpm drive (as SSD is too expensive). Is this machine capable of handling the above mentioned things? I think that the processor and memory are more than enough, but i have my doubts about the videocard, since 256 mb of video memory is not that much in these days..
In the future he wants to buy an iMac or Macbook Pro, but for now that's still a little to expensive. Although, if the mac mini is not that good, he has to decide whether to wait a while and then buy an iMac or something.
I hope that anyone can give us some advice:-)
Kind regards,
Mark van Dam

Thank you everybody for all the replies!
First off, I think we'll wait what the 11th of june will bring us, hopefully a new mac mini. As Michael Wasley stated, the glossy imac screen isn't going to work for him. So that brings us to a Mac Mini or Macbook Pro. I'm using the macbook pro myself for the last couple of years and i'm a great fan of it's capabilities.. but my brother prefers a fixed 'computer' and not a laptop..
At this point i think he's going to buy (the new?) mac mini (and use his own screen), upgrade the RAM to somewhere between 12-16 GB, possible get a SSD drive and for sure get the biggest i7 processor available.
Hopefully that will get things running.
Kind regards,
Mark

DNG Copnverter and CR2 files

I have a new Canon 60Da and an old Photoshop CS4 which requires that I use DNG Converter to convert my .cr2 files to DNGs for access. I'm using version 7.4 of the converter, just downloaded and installed on a WinVista 64 machine. If I open the converter and browse to select images the converter refuses to acknowledge any folders as containing .cr2 Canon raw files. It continually reports zero files selected. There is nothing wrong or unusual with the path to the folder.
I am able to drag and drop up to about 25 files onto the shortcut icon on my desktop and the converter opens up and converts them. I can also drop a folder of files onto the icon with success. If I drop >25 files onto the shortcut I get a fatal error message: "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe The data area passed to a system call is too small."
From the forum it appears that this was a problem back in mid-2011 so I guess I shouldn't expect any joy from Adobe. Even aside from the fact that failing to support new cameras in ACR can only be explained as either incompetent programming or a conscious business decision to 'encourage' people to upgrade to later Photoshop versions.

When using the DNG converter to select your images, you cannot choose individual images or groups of images. You can only choose the folder that contains raw images. The DNG converter will not list actual files. Only the folder that contains the files. If you want to convert individual images you have to use that drag/drop method.

Is it NAS the solution for a PC and MAC common Lightroom and Photoshop files or Paragon software?

I'm a Pc user willing to by a Mac. Before to do that I need to solve the problem of having to share files stored in to external drivers formated in NTFS. I'm a Lightroom and Photoshop user with various TB photo archibes. I have been suggested to make use of a PARAGON softeware or to use a NAS link to the WiFi router. How would you solve the problem, please?

Ok.. much more complicated.
There is several things that add to the background of the story.
1. That you are trying to backup a USB drive drive already.. I strongly recommend CCC to do this.. as you cannot setup a separate task in TM to separate the backups. I can understand not wanting to add another USB and it is older iMac so usb2 only.
2. Your Express do add complexity.. yes they work better if using the TC..
Will replacing the ASUS with a TC improve my music streaming through the AE's given that it will all be apple then?
More than likely although hard to say.
Is the wireless range of the TC as good as the ASU in your opinion?
No, i have both and the Asus is very good.. but with the Express you can do more than you are doing.
What model Express and what model Asus we need to know to give a straight answer??
3. I assume that if I simply replace the ASUS with a TC and use same SSID and PW it should be an easy swap since we have many mobile and networked devices in the house?
I strongly recommend you start over with new names..
Problems in wireless networks are common.. and part of the problem is trying to make one wireless router pretend to be another .. you don't fool the clients that rely on MAC address, BSSID not SSID. And you don't fool the main router.. which now is lost as to the clients expecting one MAC address and getting another.
It doesn't take that long.. use a slightly different name but the same password is fine.. I have several wireless routers.. all use the same password but different SSID.
