Photoshop CS4 not reading .CR2 files with Yosemite

I just updated my computer to a new iMac with Yosemite. I transferred the data using Time Machine. I uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop CS4. Now when I try to open my .CR2 camera files, I get an error message in Photoshop: "Could not complete this request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have thousands of .CR2 files...

In Photoshop, click Photoshop > About Plug-Ins > Camera Raw
Which version of Camera Raw is shown?
Try manually updating to 5.7

Photoshop CS4 stopped reading CR2 files. Update failed.

My Photoshop CS4 quit reading CR2 files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Photoshop update with new raw version failed. Please advise.
And many thanks!

This screen shot shows the correct path to the appropriate folder in CS4 on the Mac, which is not called "ACR folder" (that must be a Windows thing).
The version of ACR in the image is older (5.2, obsolete by now), because it's a screen shot from many moons ago.
The important thing is to start the path in the ROOT LEVEL Library, not your username or home Library:

Photoshop CS3 Not Reading CR2 files ( Suddenly stopped reading!)

Hi All...
      I have been using photoshop CS3 for years now to work on CR2 Camera Raw formats ( Canon 40D). After months of not working on any photos
      now that i try to open any CR2 file i receive the message that says :
      "Photoshop Does not recognize this type of file"
        I have OS 10.5.8
        I searched Adobe website and did download Camera Raw 6.6 convertor but i think it is not a correct application for CS3.
        I would appreciate if you can provide the link for the correct upgrade for me or let me know how can i fix this problem. thanks

Photoshop CS3 can take only up to Camera Raw 4.6. Camera Raw 4.6 DOES understand Canon 40D files.
I don't know why it would have stopped working for you, but a good start would be to make sure you have 4.6. Go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu (might be in a different place than Help on a Mac; I'm a PC guy) and look for Camera Raw.
If you don't have Camera Raw 4.6, go to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4039
If after ensuring you have Camera Raw 4.6 you still see the problem, I would worry that somehow your photo files have become corrupted, or that something else is wrong with your system. Let us know here if the problem persists.

CS3 Photoshop Will Not Import .CR2 Files

I have tried countless updates and cannot seem to get Photoshop to import RAW files (.CR2) into the system. I receive the error message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type"
I am trying to import using the Merge HDR function on CS3 Photoshop, but it does not even do anything when I click OK on the three RAW pictures i have selected.
Help please. I am using a Canon Rebel T1i
Thanks

Photoshop CS3 doesn't have support for that camera. You'll either need to upgrade to CS5 or use the free DNG Converter to convert the raw files to DNG files that can be opened with CS3.

Can Photoshop CS4 open a .CR2 file ext.?

I recently had a photoshoot done. the images are on a .CR2 ext. I was advised that I would be able to open themup in Photoshop CS4 but it's not working. Any advice???

CR2 is a generic extension for all Canon raw files.
They will open (indirectly) in CS4 using the ACR plug-in.
You need to check the camera model and tell us – not all CR2 files are the same.

Elements 11 not reading .CR2 files

I just purchased and installed PS Elements 11 and it seems to be unable to read the .CR2 raw files from my Canon 6D although according to the website this camera is supported.

Make sure your camera raw plug-in is up to date.
From Expert Mode click:
Help >> Updates
Install ACR 7.4 if available.

Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4 on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

Hi
I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
any idea, please?
thanks

I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras

Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
From 1.40 onwards.

Lightroom 5.4 not importing cr2 files over a network?

Well, this is unfortunate.
Brand new iMac, just out of the box, OS updated.
Brand new Adobe CC subscription, everything updated.
Neither Lightroom 5.4 or Photoshop CC can import CR2 files stored on my NAS.
The Mac connects to the NAS just fine. I can see the photos and copy them to my new PC, but can't import.
I know LR doesn't allow storing CATALOGS on a network, but I've never had problems with the original raw files stored there.
Any advice?

Solved it!
I'm not sure why it makes a difference, but once I mounted the network folder and gave it an alias on the desktop, LR5.4 was able to import.
Here are the steps:

Upgrade Plug in for CS4 to read raw files

I have PS4 and just bought a Canon 5d Mark III. PS now won't open my raw files. Can I get an upgrade plug in for CS4 to read these files? Thanks

First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in Photoshop CS4. To do that look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
In your case, your 5D Mark III was first supported by Camera Raw version 6.7. And we see that Camera Raw 6.7 was supported by Photoshop CS5, not Photoshop CS4 - so you cannot get direct raw support for your version of Photoshop.
However, you CAN download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your CR2 files) I recommend upgrading to Photoshop CS6 or newer. Adobe made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
Adobe has a nice "Photographer's Bundle" subscription offer going right now.

DNG Converter Not Recognizing .CR2 Files

I have a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and CS3, so I cannot view the CR2 files from the 5D in Bridge in their native format. I read all the posts and upgraded to ACR 4.6, then upgraded the camera profiles to those in the ACR 5.2 package (the one that includes the 5D Mark II).
I then read that I need the DNG Converter to generate DNG files from the CR2 files, so I have installed DNG 6.3.
Problem now is that the DNG Converter will not recognize any CR2 files on my machine, neither the new 5D Mark II CR2 files of my old Rebel CR2 files. When I navigate to a folder containing CR2 files with DNG it says "No images have been selected" in the "Select images to convert" section of the GUI.
I have no idea what to do, I need to get the DNG Converter working to view the files from my new camera in Bridge. Help!

I wish I could say your solution worked - but it didn't! I have a Canon T2i, the very latest version of the Adobe "converter" (8.4) - and it refuses to recognize/find any Canon RAW (i.e. CR2) files. My desktop is 2 years old with lot of horsepower, Win 7, plain vanilla etc.
Step 1: Folder Selected ("Bonaire 2006")
folder selected.jpg
2. When I press "Convert", I get:
No CR2 files recognized.jpg
Another view of the problem:
after getting this: (BTW "Bonaire" is stuffed with CR2 files). Same problem all folders
no items match your search - say what.jpg
I've used a thousand utility programs for any number of purposes - something is amiss here - prompts or not!

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open. Should I reinstall from disks or can I get a free upgrade to CS6?

there's no free upgrade.
you 'transferred' or you properly installed cs4 using the installation files?

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem-.thanks

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.
