Output raw (CR2) to Photoshop 5.1 from LR4?

(On OS X 10.7) Lightroom 3 had (and has) no problems outputting CR2's to photoshop for editing. I want to do it this way because I hate messing about with all the pointless Tiff's and PSD - in short, I have my own system. LR4 doesn't do this yet, it it because of Adobe Camera Raw not having been updated yet, is the fature removed or can't I find the proper setting?
Unsolved still... Ok, didn't work, still outputs tiff, I reinstalled but got no dialogue box asking me to make a choice...
Any help much appreciated!
Solved: Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 RC is apparantly the answer.

The D7100 requires Camera Raw plug-in version 7.4 or higher. Your CS5.x can only host up to ACR 6.something so you either need to buy a payfor upgrade to a newer version of PS (CS6 or CC) or use the free DNG Converter to make DNGs from your NEFs and open the DNGs in an older version of PS/ACR.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:

The cheapest option for PS-CC is the Photography Bundle for $10/month:

CS6 is still available, here:

Open Raw image in Photoshop Elements 6 from I Photo 09 plug in procedure

I am currently importing my photos into IPhoto 09 and editing in Elements 6. I now want to start using raw format but need the procedure for the plug in. I believe I have to manually copy the plug in in the root library but can't find the instructions. Can someone help?

I found the instructions I was looking for on the internet, see below. I downloaded the Raw Plug In for my Camera 4.4.1 followed the instructions below and now when I pick edit in IPhoto09 it opens the Elements Raw Converter. You are correct though, when I finish with converter and open elements for additional editing and save as JPEG it doesn't seem to go into IPhoto like the JPEG files I edit in Elements do.
You can download the latest versions of ACR from the Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=macintos h) downloads site.
We have an article on ACR in the next issue of the Photoshop Elements Techniques newsletter, but here's the simple instructions for installing an ACR update on the Mac:
If Elements is running, close it.
Open your mac’s hard drive by double-clicking on its icon.
If you are running Elements 6, open the folder Library/Application support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats.
In the File Formats folder, find the file called Camera Raw.8bi and move it to a folder on your desktop (or another, different location you will be able to find easily). This will serve as a backup in case there’s a problem with the installation. I usually make a folder on my desktop and name it old ACR.
Open the unzipped folder you downloaded and copy the new Camera Raw.8bi file into the File Formats folder that contained the old version (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats). After it is copied, you can close that folder.
Launch Photoshop Elements again, and you should be ready to go.

Can't open Camera Raw (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3?

I can't seem to open Camera Raw CR2 files in Photoshop CS3, my CameraRaw plug in version says it's 4.6 - any help appreciated.

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

Hi Folks,
I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Doug...

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm1:2.8 USM)
Many thanks!

Adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.

why?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer. If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially. Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time. How do I fix this?

If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

RAW CR2 files from my Canon G11 not displaying thumbnails in SL finder. Why

I just loaded some CR2 RAW files from my Canon G11 last night. They displayed perfectly in iPhoto 09 but when I opened the folder the image files are in SL's finder I got icon placeholders which but no image icon display. I have loaded all the latest updates... Is SL no yet compatible with G11 RAW Cr2 files? Or do I not have something set up correctly as of yet?

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.0 get an error message. I installed the camera raw update 4.2 but that didn't work. Any suggestions.

Hi,
Elements version 5 was made obsolete by Elements 6 back in 2007. The T3i was only released 2-3 years ago. Adobe was up to Elements version 9 or 10 by then. Every camera has its own particular camera raw software, and Adobe has to write an update for the software to work with each new camera's RAW files. And Adobe stops updating the old versions to work with new cameras when the next version of Elements/Lightroom come out.
I had to buy Lightroom 4 only 6 months after I had bought Lightroom 3 when I bought a new camera. The older version would not, and never will, work with the RAW files from my 6D.
You could, I believe, use DPP to convert the RAW files before exporting them into Elements 5, but personally I would just take this as a cue that it is time to get Elements 11. Or Lightroom 5. I personally prefer Lightroom.

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.

How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
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:

CS 5.1 -64 Photoshop [Camera RAW] *.CR2 raw import error

Hi folks.
When try to open a RAW file into Photoshop (Camera RAW), error message occur:
"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model witch is not supported by the installed version of Camera RAW".
This photo was shot by a Canon S-100 camera witch of course are listed up as supported file format, in help site for Camera RAW. So, what to do here?
I'm for sure, the latest Photoshop CS 5.1 (From master collection) are installed (seperate install).
Any tip, received with great thanks!

What OS are you using? Camera Raw support for that camera was added in ACR 6.6. The latest version of ACR supported by CS5 is 6.7.1.

Camera Raw .CR2 file download failure from new Canon650D

I have the new model Canon650D and cannot download Camera Raw CR2 files into Photoshop Elements 10. I get a "program error" message on screen. I have tried converting to DNG files but get same error message. I have downloaded latest upgrades for Camera Raw plug-ins in Adobe Application Manager and evidently have the latest 6.7 version available. Is there a later upgrade or do I have to wait until Adobe catch up?

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) 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) Try a differnt download (7.3 the latest) if DNG did not work before.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3

IPhoto '09 not importing Camera Raw (.CR2) files

Recently purchased a new Mac Pro and tried to import my Camera Raw files from a supported camera. iPhoto refuses to import (unrecognized file format) files. Does anyone know the solution? I have over 1,700 camera raw (.CR2) files I need to import.

Larry,
Cameras were Canon 20D and 50D. Until yesterday both were using the sRAW color space - switched them to Adobe RAW today. Problem was the 1,700 pictures with sRAW colorspace taken over the past few years - no issue importing into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (not surprising at it uses its own libraries), problem was only with iPhoto. I had what iPhoto reported as the latest update to Camera Raw, however when I browsed the Apple support pages I found v3.0 which I installed. That fixed the problem as it now has sRAW support for Canon cameras.
Only issue that remains is importing of DNG formatted pictures. iPhoto will not import those, which is hard to understand as it is becoming the defacto cross platform format for RAW files.
I don't recall having this issue on my older MacBook using an older version of iPhoto and older libraries...
Anyway, good news is that v3.0 fixed the problem.
Thanks.
