PSE 8 is not recognizing my RAW files from Canon T21 camera

This week I bought a new camera, Canon T2 i (550D), and also upgraded from PSE 7 to PSE8.
The PSE prgram does not recognize RAW files from the Canon T2i camera.
However, it does recognize the RAW files shot with the previous Canon Rebel XTi camera.
I have spend hours trying to figure this out and find different settings to solve this.
Can anyone help?

You need to download and install the latest version (5.7) of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in:

Be sure to follow the manual installation instructions on that page precisely.

Does "RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded" MATTER??

Need to buy new camera to use with my G5 and iPHoto 5. I desire (1) affordability, (2) more optical zoom than what I've had in past (want to move from 4x to 6x), and (3) compatible with my G5.
I've had 2 canon powershost (my last, the 570, but a kid dropped it). Easy to use. So maybe simliar, or something nicer.
Been studying the Canon web site about their various cameras. For the above reasons I like thePowerShot SX100 IS, about $240. 6x optical zoom.
HOWEVER, in the MAC OSX compatibility section at Canon it has this quote:
* Mac OS X 10.1 and newer come with Image Capture drivers that support most of Canon's digital cameras with USB interfaces. When a compatible camera is connected to a compatible Mac computer running OS X 10.1 and newer, the computer detects the camera and automatically launches Image Capture. This Apple program allows JPEG images in the camera to be downloaded to the Macintosh. NOTE: RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture. We suggest the use of File Viewer Utility or an external card reader. Also, movie files shot with PowerShot cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture or iPhoto. We suggest the use of ImageBrowser or an external card reader.
Additionally, Image Capture can access JPEG images directly from a CompactFlash card using an OS X-compatible card reader or using a PC Card Adapter in the PC Card slot of an Apple PowerBook.**
This line caught me confused: *RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded*
In the past, I just plugged in the Canon Camera, and iPhoto 5 opened, and I h appily downloaded the picts and off and away I was.
Will this still happen??? And if I'm not getting the "RAW" picts (whatever that is), but just the JPEGS I'm used to, am I not getting "all" the picts, or the best that my camera could be given me for eventually printing?
Am I worrying about nothing?
Finally, any camera suggestions? Under $300 , super picts, 5-10x zoom, and friendly with my Mac
Thanks

You know, because you ask the question, I'll guess that it won't really matter to you...
Every camera shoots RAW - that's the total information that the sensor on the camera sees, but mid- and lower end cameras process this RAW data into an easy to use format such as jpegs.
Many (but not all) Pros demand that the camera provide all the data to the computer, so that the photographer can process the images him/her self. For most casual and family users this is not an issue. For the serious hobbyist and the Pro it might well be.
For more on Raw have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawimageformat
Btw, later versions of iPhoto do work with Some Raw formats.
As to cameras:
I used a Canon S2 IS for a couple of years and found it really good. There's and S3 and an S5 now too. Currently I'm using a Panasonic FZ8. I really like it.

Aperture does not support Small Raw files from Canon EOS 5D MK II

Hi,
I recently bought a new Canon EOS 5D MK II camera and started shooting on SmallRaw format, but Aperture simply refused to process those files. It only shows a preview of around 3 inches only. I don't know what's wrong either with my OS 10.5.6 or Aperture 2.
Now that I've returned to Digital Photo Professional from Canon to process the image. Please help, I don't want to break my workflow.
regards,
ashesh.

Photoshop CS6 is not recognizing the raw file from the Nikon D4S.

Just picked up the Nikon D4S, took some shots to get acclimated and glad I did. When I uploaded them my PS program is telling me, "Camera Raw cannot open this file." Than when I tried to edit an older image from my Nikon D300S I was getting the same message.
Can anyone help? I believe I have the most current Camera Raw.
Thank You, Tami

I have Camera Raw 8.1. I found that I needed 8.4, so I downloaded the 8.4 converter plug in and I was able to open the images. However, I had to go through a few steps & than wait for the files to be converted to a dng file. I hope I don't have to go through these steps every time? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Tami

I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
(Canon Server)
I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

Try installing it manually from:

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 Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Lightroom 4. dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.

I have purchased lightroom 4. It dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.
I have downloaded and ran the suggested file from Adobe, but still no luck.
Anyone have the answer?

The initial release of Lightroom 4 doesn't handle the 5d mk 3 files because of when the camera was released. You can either wait for the 4.1 release, or you can download the 4.1 Release Candidate 2 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-1/.
Technically you can also download Adobe's DNG converter, but that just adds another program to the situation.

My raw files from Canon T5i isn't being recognized?

I am getting this message:
PS could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the install version of Camera Raw.
Presently I have Photoshop 5.1 and won't read my RAW files from Canon T5i, although read my earlier Canon Rebel. Do I need to update? Which will bum me out as I just spent a lot of money for the new camera. Is there a work around to getting at my RAW files? Thanks for all your support and suggestions.

Presently I have Photoshop 5.1 and won't read my RAW files from Canon T5i,
I assume you mean Photoshop CS5.1?
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only supported in CS6 and later. There is no version of Camera Raw for CS5.x which will read T5i Raw files.
Your options:
Pay to upgrade to CS6
Buy Photoshop Elements 13
Join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T5i Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

PSE 9 wont transfer RAW files from Canon 5D iii using CF card

I've tries to download RAW files from my new camera Canon 5d verion 3 but organiser says files are unsupported. Help!

Hi Gareth. You have three alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 10 or awit the forthcoming PSE11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original CR2’s as backup) or (3) Use Canon DPP bundled with your camera.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
You can convert a whole folder of CR2 images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D.

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D (it does not see them). I tried DNG converter version 8.2 and 8.4. No success. I use iMac. What is wrong?

hopefully, that's a typo on adobe's website because they list the canon 70d as using a .cs2 file extension, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
i don't see any other camera that uses a .cs2 extension and i don't see other people having problems, so that probably is a typo.
in any case, cr 8.2 or better is able to convert your camera's raw files. why you are having a problem i can't say, but double check that you are navigating to the correct folder by adding a file that will show up in your dng converter.

Why cant I edit My raw files from Canon 6D

Why cant I edit My raw files from Canon 6D.

It is difficult to know why because we don't know what version is your PSE and what is your operating system.
That aside, if your camera is fairly new then first try to update your software by going to:
Help >> Updates
If this doesn't solve then it may be that your camera is not supported by your PSE (mainly 10 and before) and so you may need to use DNG conversion utility. The latest version is 8.1 but unpaid MVPs here will tell you more about it.
