RAW files from Canon 5D won't import to Lightroom

I get an error message saying Lightroom doesn't recognise the .CR2 RAW file format. What am I doing wrong?

You pay your money to Adobe!  The only free updates are the so-called dot changes.  To get from 3.x to 4.x you have to pay.  You could start here, or in your country equivalent:

  • Raw files from Nikon d810 won't import

    I have LR 5.7 and  new Nikon d810. Every time I try to import raw files, it doesn't work. Just stalls, and sometimes even crashes. I've tried different memory cards, a card reader, and importing directly by connecting the camera itself. Please advise.

    That makes sense, at least as a default (thus the term "hidden" ).

    However the Go menu in Finder does reveal the hidden Library using the Option key...
    Right. *And* there are instructions for doing that in the document here:
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    *And* some people are saying they followed said instructions (e.g. Uvjjacob in this thread) but still: "ain't no preference file there".
    Begging the question: "did they really follow those instructions correctly? if not, why not, and if so, then why no preference file there.."
    If I had to guess, I'd say operator error, but I like to give the benefit of doubt, otherwise problem may be swept under rug with the broom of denial.

  • Cannot open raw files from canon 6d in photoshop cs6 or lightroom 4

    I just bought a canon 6d but now the files are not opening in lightroom or photoshop. is there a plug in or something I can use to make these work?

    The Canon 6D has been supported since LR 4.3 and PS-CS6/ACR 7.3 so you may need to update.
    You can find LR updates on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    You should be able to update to ACR 8.7.1 via Help / Updates in PS’s menus.
    Or if that doesn't work, you can download the ACR 8.7.1 installer from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    Unless you’re still running an older OS, like Windows Vista or earlier or OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, then you’ll need the ACR 8.3 installer from here:

  • Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

    Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

    The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
    Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

    how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
    As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Can elements 13 open raw files from Canon 70d?

    PSE8 can't be updated but you can download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in PSE8(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw 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.
