Raw format .CR2

Admittedly, I’m brand new to Elements, but this seems to be the least intuitive software ever.  I bought a brand new Canon G10 and a copy of Elements to be able to manipulate RAW files.  Elements won’t import my Canon .CR2 files.  If I go to Help/About Plug-in/Camera Raw it says I have version 4.5.0.175.  I went to the Adobe site and downloaded Camera Raw 5.3.  Unpacked the zip and clicked install, but help still shows 4.5.0.175.  How do I get Elements 7 to be able to recognize the RAW files from my camera?  The Help documents are woefully lacking in this area.

Hi,
you can download latest camera raw plug in from - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4578
read through the installation instruction. after the install is complete, you would be able to view the .CR2 images.
thanks

  • Lightroom 5 cannot export files in original Raw format (LR 5.4, Mac, OS 10.9.4).

    A client has the following problem: When trying to export files in the original Raw format (.CR2), the operation failed and a dialog informs us that "Some export operations were not performed". We can export JPEGs just fine.
    After lots of testing, this is what we discovered:  The problem does not appear to be catalog-based; we run into the same problem using a test catalog.  The export operation works fine, however, with the same test catalog and images on two other machines, and it even works fine on the same machine with a new user admin account that we created. 
    So it appears to be something associated with the user account, , or with how LR is interacting with the user account, but I cannot figure out what it might be. We can copy the Raw files when using the Finder to do so. But not via Lightroom.  Any thoughts, ideas of suggestion would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks, Sean

    As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals.  This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
    From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves.  Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

  • Raw files (CR2) - Cannot modify IPTC Core fields, get error messages

    I really hope someone out there can help me out here because I'm at my wit's end!!!!
    I have a bunch of raw files in a folder, these are just pictures I took for a bit of general practice over Christmas.
    Now, whilst trying to modify the IPTC Core Fields (basically adding my name and my email address to the pictures), it worked fine for most of the pictures, but for some reason it will not work for the last 20. This is driving me nuts. :(
    The first picture which doesn't work was taken literally 2 seconds after the last one which does work. All pictures work perfectly well in Photoshop, I can open them, modify them, save them as jpgs... no problem. But it just won't let me change the metadata. The pencils on the IPTC Core fields are nowhere to be found, the option File>File Info appears greyed out... etc.
    The error messages I get:
    1. When clicking on any line of the IPTC Core Fields (such as "Creator") =
    i "This property cannot be modified".
    2. When clicking on the keywords tab and trying to enter keywords =
    i "The file Name.CR2 cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
    I have scoured the web for help, visited multiple forums... to no avail. It looks like other people are having the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution. I haven't done anything different to those 20 pictures, so I just can't think of a logical answer, it just doesn't make sense!!
    I am only starting to catalogue my pictures in the hope of going professional one day and this is extremely discouraging... if anyone out there can help, I'd be ever so grateful. Right now I just feel like pulling my hair out!! :'(
    OK, rant over :)
    Thanks very much for reading and thanks very, very much in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!

    I have run into the same problem. I downloaded photos in raw format ".CR2" from a Canon 40D via a compact flash card reader to my laptop. I labelled the ones I wanted green and then transferred these images via wireless transfer to my desktop. I had not checked any keywords while these were on the laptop. I used the Bridge (CS3)File/Copy to menu selection to effect the transfer. Both systems are Windows XP, SP2.
    I then tried to check a keword in my list for an image and got the error message number 2 reported by Maria Atkins above. I got the same for all images on the desktop system.
    Observations:
    -the green labelled items are correctly filtered on the desktop, but the labels on the images all show white.
    -not all images even have .xmp files associated with them. It appears to be a random thing.
    -although I have checked my preference to have double click open an image in Camera Raw in Bridge it will not do so with these images, always opening Camera Raw in Photoshop.
    -the camera exif data is correctly attached to the images, whether there is a .xmp file associated or not.
    -On my laptop I found I can check keywords and they are stored with the image with no complaints from Bridge, and whether the image has a .xmp file associated with it or not. This is after I had copied the images to the desktop. I was just checking whether the problem was with the original images or just the transferred ones. It appears to be that something was not done correctly in the transfer.
    This is not a trivial issue since it is essential for cataloging images to enable future searches. I hope someone from Adobe is paying attention and will respond with an answer.

  • I have PE11, new camera Canon Rebel t5i, in raw format, "not supported by installed version of raw".

    I am using Photoshop Elements 11, using WIndows 7 Operating System. I have a new camera Canon Rebel T5i, and having problem viewing images in raw format (cr2).
    Message in PE11, states, "Camera model not supported by installed version of Camera raw."
    Canon software views images.
    Suspect my minimum camera raw plug in version does not support this new camera....
    I am unable to locate in the software any menu item that allows me to view the camera raw plug  in version.
    Appreciate any support from our Adobe forum.

    At least one person was able to get ACR 8.3 to install into PSE11 using the direct-download link for ACR 8.3 CC  on Adobe’s blog, so you might try that:

    After downloading, if on Wndows, unzip the setup.zip to somewhere, like your Desktop, and then run the AdobePatchInstaller.  I expect there’s a similar process for Macs, but I don’t have one so cannot advise, specifically.

  • I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by

    I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras  I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

  • Why are my RAW format files no longer supported?

    Using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 with versions of Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw Plug-in.
    Shot .CR2 raw format photos on my Canon EOS 450D (Same as Rebel XSi)
    Have always been able to open them successfully in Camera Raw and Photoshop. Now says that the files and/or my camera model/make is not supported by the Camera Raw Plug-in nor by my Photoshop.
    Tried converting to DNG first with Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 and even that says that the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.
    Previous raw files taken with the same camera on the same computer with the same (or even earlier) versions of all these programs have always worked. I can still open those successfully too. However just these new ones I cannot. Nothing has changed about my camera in that time...
    What can I do and why is it that these files are no longer supported?

    ACR 6.7 and ACR 7.1 RC can open XSi CR2 files at least on Windows 7.  I just checked.
    However, on Windows, at least, the DNGC 7.1 RC has a quirk in that when you want to convert a folder of CR2s to DNGs, you have to click the Select button when the folder is highlighted in the file selection dialog and the folder listed in the location area of the file selection dialog.   You cannot click INTO the folder and then click Select, which sounds like what you are doing.  If you do click into the folder and click Select it’ll say there are no compatible files that exist.   I think previous versions of the DNGC would recover properly if you clicked into the folder before clicking Select.
    Since your files cannot be opened in ACR, either, then perhaps they are corrupted.  You might post a download link to one of them in a message here so others can have a look.  If you don’t have a large file hosting service, then set up a free account on www.dropbox.com or www.yousendit.com or similar, upload your file, there, then post the public download link, here, in a reply.

  • Importing RAW format files into iPhoto 08

    Hi Guys,
    I searched the back catologue and couldn't find any refs so hopefully this is a valid new post.
    I use iPhoto 08 on an iMac and have always worked with importing jpegs from my cheap but faithful old camera. I now have a nice sexy (& expensive) new camera & can take pictures in RAW format for increased quality. IPhotos tutorials say that it supports RAW but everytime I try to import some files I get a "could not import file" message against the RAW files. My camera automatically takes a duplicate jpeg each time I make a RAW exposure and they import without any problems. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Many thanks. Steve

    Steve
    What camera is it?
    The Raw from every camera model is different - note that's camera Model, not brand - and has to be supported separately. So, the Raw from a Nikon D3 is not the same as the Raw from a Nikon D3s and so on - even though they both produce files with a NEF extension. Same with Canon and it's CR2 files and so on.
    Raw support can also depend the OS and version of iPhoto that you have.
    Regards
    TD

  • Is there a patch for Preview and iPhoto for the new Canon RAW format yet?

    I recently purchased a Canon 6D, and I was surprised to find out that my Preview and iPhoto does not read the new Canon RAW codec. It's been out for almost 7 or 8 months. All my software is current. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro with iOS 10.7.5 The software that Canon supplied is terribly slow when it comes to importing the CR2 files and exporting them as jpegs. iPhoto can import my Canon 40D CR2 photos and spit out the jpeg proofs super quick. So, does anyone know of any software updates that I may have overlooked regarding iPhoto or Preview. I can't upgrade to Mavericks, as my computer will not support it. I have a feeling I may be SOL, but thanks for any help!

    10.7.5 is not an iOS, it is a Mac OS X.  And no, it is not current.  10.9.3 is current.  As for your 6D, here's the RAW by operating system support:
    Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
    OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats- your operating system
    OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.8
    OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.9 support
    Turns out the 6D is supported for 10.7.  You need the RAW compatibility update 4.0.3:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.03
    And the 40d is natively supported by 10.7.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 and RAW files (CR2)

    Hello, Elements 10 is unable to recognise RAW files from my Powershot G15 but is fine with EOS 600D. Camera RAW has been updated but no difference.
    Any help/advice?
    Regards

    Hi Paul
    Its not a good idea to use 16 bit images as there is limited functionality in Elements. The files are also very large. The Adobe raw format (DNG) will give you a more efficient file size as it does not contain a jpeg preview like a CR2.
    Why not give it a try by downloading and installing the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format. The latest version 8.2 is fully backward compatible and the files will open in camera raw and in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • RAW format compatibility with iPhoto

    I am looking for a new camera that supports RAW. It is my understanding each camera manufacturer uses a different file extension on their RAW images implying there is a difference between the file formats. The list that Apple supplies for cameras that can be used with iPhoto is not up to date as many newer cameras do not show up on their list.
    Would it not be safe to assume that if, for example, Canon comes out with a new camera with RAW format support their file type which is .CRW would automatically work with iPhoto. The same would be for Nikon, Olympus and the rest. If the new camera uses the same file extension as one of the older cameras by the same manufacturer on Apples compatibility list the new camera will be compatible.
    Here is the list of extensions I found by manufacturer.
    .raf (Fuji)
    .crw .cr2 (Canon)
    .kdc .dcr (Kodak)
    .mrw (Minolta)
    .nef (Nikon)
    .orf (Olympus)
    .dng (Adobe)
    .ptx .pef (Pentax)
    .arw .srf (Sony)
    .x3f (Sigma)
    .erf (Epson)
    .mef .mos (Mamiya)
    .raw (Panasonic)
    .r3d (Red)

    This document should answer most of your questions: Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5.
    Oops, didn't see that you were still using Tiger. This document may be more appropriate in that case: iPhoto 6: Supported RAW format cameras. There may be a Tiger doucment like the one for Leopard but I wasn't able to find it just now.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Hantera Canon 7D mark 2 RAW format bilder?

    Jag har Photoshop Elements version 11 på min PC.
    Hur uppdaterar jag min Elements version för att hantera Canon 7D mark 2 RAW format bilder?

    You can pay for an upgrade to PSE13, or you can use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2s and open those in your older PSE/ACR.
    The free DNG Converter is available on the Adobe Updates page:

  • Canon G11 RAW format not supported?

    I am guessing Aperture does not support the G11 RAW format at this time since I am getting the dreaded red image that says "unsupported format". Is it me or is is anyone else seeing the same thing?

    Yup, same here. I just bought a Canon G11, I'm shooting in RAW, which produces .CR2's. That should take advantage the camera's maximum quality if I'm not mistaken, which is what I want.
    iPhoto doesn't like em'.
    Think Apple will eventually begin to support the G11's .CR2's? I definitely don't want to lower my shooting quality, but I also don't want the hassle to run Photoshop for each & every photo.

  • Using RAW format

    I am the new owner of a Rebel T3i and trying hard to learn all the new things that have happening in photography after a rather lengthy hiatus (~30 years!).  There seems to be some consensus that one is further ahead if all the decisions( eg. exposure, color saturation, style, etc.) are made in camera while the picture is being taken.  Later adjustments with software would then be minimal touchups.  If I record the photo in .JPG format I immediately see the picture as I expect it to be.  If I record the photo in .CR2 (RAW) format I am told that information such as style is "noted" and used to show me a preview.  I would expect the preview both on the camera LCD screen and on the computer in Lightroom to then be identical to the .JPG preview because it should be using the "noted" information.  I can clearly see that there is a difference in the preview of the two formats, with the RAW format usually showing a little more high key!  I would like to see the RAW image presented as I manipulated it while taking the picture because I cannot rely on my memory about what I did, but then I want to be able to manipulate such things as the style should I want to improve it (in Lightroom).  Also I wonder if the "noted" information is carried through and used by Adobe Camera Raw in the same way as in Digital Photo Professional, or does Adobe lose the information.
    Can anyone elaborate on this for me?  Thank you so much!

    A RAW file is exactly what the camera recorded when the photo was taken (in computer language) and as such is a pure file. NOTHING is altered until you run it through some form of software & create a jpg or tif etc. The reason for this will become very obvious as you progress on the learning journey. Because the camera stored the data exactly as shot you have the opportunity to manipulate it in so many ways over & over again without ever tampering with the original data. That can't be said about a jpg, which has already lost some of the original information as it was processed in camera using software that was built into the camera to do a specific thing to the photo as decided by those who planned & developed that software, BUT they can't possibly know exactly what every photographer wanted to capture, so by having the RAW file stay untouched they've given us the power to override their idea of what we were seeing in our minds when we took the shot.
    This may help you understand the idea better.

  • IMac and Raw Format

    Hello everyone:
    I have and old iMac (the white one), upgraded with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    The computer works perfectly, I´m a photographer and still works with Photoshop and with large files like CR2 (Raw files).
    Recently I bought a new camera: Canon powershot G15 and I can´t see the thumbnails in my Finder, neither in my iPhoto´11, but I can see them in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
    In order to solve this problem, I have downloaded the RAWCameraUpdate4 from the Apple Support website, wich says that support the G15 raw files, but when I tried to install it, it appears a window taht says: this software is not compatible with your system.
    Because of that, I was thinking about update my OS X to  Mountain Lion. I´ve been reading the technical specifications and my computer fulfills with the general requirements, but also it is writen that the supported models are iMac (Mid 2007 or newer).
    My iMac was bought in decembrer 2006, I kown it´s old, but it runs perfectly, as I said before.
    So finally, here´s my question:
    Is to buy a new mac the only option that I have to solve my problem? Or maybe is it possible to update my system to Mountain Lion?
    Thank and sorry for my english mistakes
