Opening Canon T4i RAW files in PSE10

Hello everyone
I recently traded in my Canon T3i for a T4i, and now PS Elements 10 won't open the CR2 RAW files from this camera.   According to "Help - Plug In" I have V 6.7, so I went to the Adobe site which said I needed V 7.1, which I download, and extracted, but it won't install it in the software; when I click on the extracted AdobePatchInstaller application, I get a message stating  "Update Failed" and "this patch is not applicable for you".   Also, when I click "Help-Updates" it tells me everything is up to date.  What can I do?

Some jokingly call it the Adobe Tax.  If you buy a recently released camera, the specifications for RAW files are probably different than previous models.  Adobe takes those specs, camera by camera, and adds thme to ACR.  Adobe does not make current new versions of ACR available to legacy software.  Hence the "tax".  You wrote that your newly released camera is in 7.1.  To use ACR 7.1 conveniently ("natively"?) you have to have the versions of Adobe's tools that use the 7.x series.  That would be Photoshop Elements 11, Premier Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.x
It was my turn to learn the lessons of the Adobe Tax for a Sony RX100 I bought last year!
Adobe is not entirely rude about this!  They give away the "Adobe DNG Converter" that is updated in parallel with ACR.  You can, with out paying a cent, download the converter and it will make Elements 10 compatable .DNG files from your CR2 files.
Good luck!

  • I am unable to open canon 6d raw files w/ elements 11

    I am unable to open canon 6d raw files w/ elements 11. It seems that camera raw 7.1.0.384 is installed. I tried to update and nothing happens.Any help please?

    Sometimes the Adobe servers can get busy; so try again from Expert Mode:
    Help >> Updates
    You should be able to select ACR 7.4 (see image) and then click the update button.

  • Can't open Canon 6D raw files

    I'm using windows XP and Lightroon 2.7, and am having problems opening Canons 6D RAW files, I can use CS6 but I like LR better.

    You need LR4 to open file from 6D. And LR4 doesn't run under win XP.

  • How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

    I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

    Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.

  • Can't open canon g16 raw files.  I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

    Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16.  I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files.  The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files.  I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that.  What am I doing wrong?  I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw.  My canon 60d raw files work fine.

    Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
    The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4.  You should ALWAYS update to the latest version.  Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
    Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
    What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.  I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
    Did you install ACR correctly.  ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway).  What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
    You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

  • Can't open Canon 70D raw files with elements 12

    Can anyone advise me why elements 12 will not open my Canon 70D raw files?  When I have tried to update elements it tells me that there are no updates available. The Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plugin is version 8.0.0.137

    The Canon 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    EOS 70D
    CS2
    8.2
    5.2
    Camera Raw 8.5 should be available for Elements 12 via Help > Updates
    Photoshop elements 12 and camera raw 8.5
    If you have windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X 10.6.8 you won't get the camera raw 8.5 update, because it doesn't work on those operating systems.
    In that case you should be able to update to Camera Raw 8.3

  • Horrible Adobe Chat Experience - How to open Canon 6D Raw files in CS5?

    Hi, I just had an awful Adobe Chat experience with agent Dharma. I waited a very long time and when Mr. Dharma finally was able to help me, he wasn't able to. I was told that my product would no longer be supported and I couldn't be helped by Adobe because it was CS5. I was also sent to a faulty link. Anyway, I recently purchased a Canon EOS 6D and when I tried uploading my photos to Photoshop CS5 it said my RAW photos could not be supported. I followed the appropriate links for support and help.
    My CS5 is updated, the Adobe Bride is updated. The extension for the photos is CR2 and they will not show the thumbnails in bridge and won't load in Photoshop. I need help. Now, I am hoping Adobe will support it's product and customer.

    As each new camera comes out, Adobe have to write the code that enables Camera RAW to work with its RAW files.  It is nrealistic to expect them to keep doing this for all previous versions of Photoshop.  The Canon 6D needs ACR7.3 which Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You have several alternatives. 
    As an owner of CS5 you can take up the BUndle deal at $10 a month.
    You can download the free DNG conversion software, and convert your CR2 files to DNG which CS5 can read.
    You can buy Lightroom 5, oir even Lightroom 4 (if you can still find a copy)
    I'd go with the Bundle deal.  There is a lot more to CC than reading Canon 6D RAW files.

  • Problems with opening Canon T4i CR2 files in elements 10

    I have a cannon rebel T41 and Adobe elements ver 10, ive been taking photos in RAW format but cannot open them in the elements software, the files are saved as a CR2 file can anybody help please.

    The T4i was first supported by ACR 7.1.  The last ACR version supported by PSE10 is ACR 6.7.
    This means you need to update your PSE to 11 or 12 to work with T4i CR2 files.  Or maybe buy Lightroom, which is about the same price as Elements but contains all the raw adjustments not just the few in the Element’s-hosted ACR plug-in.

  • Has anyone found a way to convert the Canon T4i raw files using Adobe DNG?

    I just purchased the Canon T4i and us PE9. PE9 doesn't support the new raw format. I tried using Adobe DNG converter as Adobe recommended. That didn't worl either. Has anyone managed to convert these raw files so that PE9 will recognize them?

    Steve,
    Have you tried it or was that just from reading the description?
    I noticed that the T4i seems to be omitted from the list shown on the download page and on the readme file. The full list of camera raw files supported does list the T4i as being supported by 7.1
    See http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    I got hold of a sample raw file, which I processed by the DNG converter as was then able to open it in PSE 9. The file properties said that it was from a T4i. It could be that I got hold of an incorrect sample.

  • CAN NOT OPEN  CANON EOS20D  RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

    I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

    You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)

  • How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

    Can someone help?  I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files.  It was OK with the raw files from my 450D.  I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot.  I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

    The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
    or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

  • Can't upgrade Photoshop Elements 9.0 to ANYTHING: unable to open Canon CR2 Raw files

    I will start this post w/ the comment that I am completely fed-up with Adobe, and am not surprised at the troubles its having considering how completely **** it's ancillary services on its products are. Outside of the actual editing capabilities of their software (the only reason I and most people use their software) they have bungled UI, design, updates, and product support.
    On to my issue.
    I have a Mac, I have OSX 10.9.4 installed, I also own a copy of Photoshop elements. I recently wiped and reinstalled my OS, and thus reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9.0.
    It doesn't support Canon .cr2 files, Canon Raw image files. I have wasted nearly 2 hours running in circles, and registering for every ******* stupid adobe mailing list, and cloud product, forum ID, that exists, all at adobes insistence without getting any sort of answer.
    1. There is no update function. The menu item HELP>UPDATE ... DOES NOT EXIST, every update must be done manually.
    2. I can't download and install any of the most recent Camera RAW plugins because they require the most update version of PSE9.0.
    3. I manually downloaded both update 9.0.2 and 9.0.3 and was required to download two additional pieces of Adobe software, which at best are useless, and at worst are malware the cloud services OSX plugin, and the Adobe App and Install Manager.
    4. When I run either update patch, I get the error message "This update is not applicable for you" and then information to contact customer support, which then circuitously and deviously reroutes me through a series of stupid questions.
    5. Ultimately I came here and have searched the forums and don't have an answer to my question yet.
    Questions.
    1. Why can't I install updates 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 to my PSE 9.0 for Mac OSX
    2. I don't give a f#*K about the updates, I just want to open canon RAW CR2 files.
    I wish someone else produced even moderately decent photo editing software, I'd rid myself of adobe.

    The raw files from the 5D should open OK but the files from the EOS-M require PSE11 or PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files from the EOS-M 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:

  • Unable to open Canon 650D Raw files in PS CS5 [was:Camera Raw]

    Hi everyone
    I have tried to downlaod my raw files CR2 to my photoshop cs5 but it keep saying
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw."
    My camera model is Canon 650d which is supported and i have downloaded the latest raw update but everytime i go to the Help > About Plug in
    it keep saying that my version is 6.3.0.79

    The 650D requires Camera Raw 7.1 or higher.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7. Thus you cannot open 650D Raw files in CS5.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Thus you must either upgrade to CS6 or CC or convert your Raw files to DNGs using the free Adobe DNG converter. Then open and edit the DNG files in CS5.
