RAW / CR2 files stopped working? ie RAW support seems to be bust

Hi There,
I've just uploaded a bunch of new pictures from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II in RAW format and they are not being recognised. Aperture, Preview or PS 3 don't recognise them. Aperture gives me a dotted line box, Preview does nothing and PS3 just tells me it's an unsupported file format.
Even my old RAW has stopped opening (350D and 40D).
Everything worked fine a few days ago. All I have done to my system is regular Software Updates, but I note that RAW support 2.7 was installed a few days ago - could that have corrupted things somehow?
Has anyone else had problems since installing 2.7?
Any ideas how to fix this?
As a note, I can open these files using the Canon software that came with the camera (which I installed back in the dark ages and never use).
Cheers,
Rob.

Nope. I shot in 'regular' RAW. I have a Macbook Pro too (also with the 2.7 update) and that can see the files fine, so it's obviously something wrong with my config/install. The problem is I can't see how to address the problem. One thing I have noticed is that the Mac with the problem thinks the file kind is "Canon Camera Raw File" and the Mac that is working fine things that the file is a "Canon CR2 raw image". I've no idea how the file associations work or how I can chose how the OS sees the images. On both Macs the file is identical - including the file name and extension.

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

adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.
why?
need help!
Solved!

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.

HELP! Cannot open Canon RAW (CR2) file in PP5.5.2 (Mac)

Hi folks.
I cannot import RAW (CR2) files (Canon 5D2) files into premiere pro 5.5.2!
I can get them into After Effects (through cameraraw) but PP does not even show them as a "supported file type"
If I drag and drop from the finder I get "unsupported file type" error
My understanding is that CR2 files are supported in CS5.5
Any ideas
MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
For the rest, everything seems to be "normal"
Thanks in Advance
Tom

To use Camera RAW, you will need to process the files through a Camera RAW converter. With the proper ACR module, PS, and Lightroom will handle that processing, as will the Canon utility. With Adobe ACR, make sure to update to a version that handles YOUR camera's RAW files - mfgrs. tweak those model to model, so keeping the ACR module current will insure that you can handle the particular Camera RAW files properly.
I agree with Stephen's rec. to NOT use JPEG, if ultimate quality is of a concern. In PS, I just process my Nikon, Panny or Canon Camera RAW files to PSD. I would assume that the Canon utility would have the option for TIFF, as my older one does - there is no option for PSD in it. Do not know about the newer Canon Camer RAW processing, but TIFF should be just fine.
Good luck,

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.

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:

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.

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

Why has LR4 suddenly started to refuse to download RAW CR2 files?

Today I went to LR4 and tried to import RAW CR2 files into the program using the usual import process which is pretty automatic. I also asked that copies be saved as DNG files. No matter what I tried, I got an error message saying that the files could not be imported. I use a Canon 5D Mark III. The only difference in today's shoot was that I used and HDSC card instead of a CF card. No other obvious changes. Clearly, this is a serious concern. What amI missing?

Hi,
I too have been having trouble importing CR2s consistently using Lightroom 4.3. I use a Canon 5D Mark III with Macbook OS X 10.7.
Spoke with Canon this morning and apparently they are getting a few calls about this problem. For me, it is not a permissions issue.
I swapped cards, cords, reinstalled Lightroom and updated everything. I bought a card reader and that is the only thing that works.
Seems to be some kind of communication problem between Lightroom (4.3) and my Canon 5D M3.

Have a Canon 70D. Lightroom will not recognize the raw CR2 file. Don't know if I need an additional plug in or how to get one. Can anyone help?

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?

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file: com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

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.

In Organiser, can the image filename be shown below the thumbnail (RAW CR2 files)?

In Organiser, is it possible to display the fiename below the image thumbnail (RAW CR2 files)?

Okay! Fixed now... after a little more digging, it turns out I wasn't putting the CR plug-in into the root folder....
Schoolboy error....
Thanks anyway!

Why does the ath.exe file stop working in the middle of backing up to ICloud? How do I fix this?

While trying to back up to our ICloud account, the ATH.exe file stops working. How do I fix this?

Hi Jaynet, thanks for your reply.
My cells do contain values so that's no problem. It's a very simple setup where I have 2x6 cells with a couple of parameters that are to be used by all my connections in the workbook.
Using vb code to update the "forgotten" parameters inside the connections was something I also was thinking could be a solution. Just felt it would be a shame when the functionality for what I'm trying to do cleary has been built
in to excel in a very simple way through the UI.
Before I go down the vb route I'm gonna see if I can find more info about any fixes for this bug in excel, maybe a hot patch or something like that. (I can't speak vb so building such a thing is going to take a while for me as I have to take bits
and pieces I find around the web to get stuff working) :)

My Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. Any anwers

I receive Adobe updates on a regular basis without any problems. The other day, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. I can open all the other function buttons without any problems just not the most important one which is the Editor Function. Has anyone experienced this situation and knows what to do?

Did you tried uninstalling and then installing it again?
