Raw images not readable by lightroom or CS3 from 5d mkii

Just got my new 5d mkii and went out to shoot my first images with it. Capturing RAW only I shot 88 frames at Crater Lake. When I got home I went through my normal procedures for downloading my images with Lightroom and it did not recognize the file type and could not process the images. Tried getting the images up using photoshop cs3 and it also did not recognize the image type. Finally I installed the Canon DPP software on the computer and the images showed up. I was able to move the images from DPP to photoshop finally, but they transferred as TIFF files, not RAW.
Does anybody have an idea as to what might be going wrong? I have used the same procedures with my 40D with no problems at all.
ANy help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
David

Lightroom 2 was released before the 5D2. You might have to (or want to) upgrade to Lightroom 4. I found this out the hard way. I had LR3, and then bought the 6D and learned that LR3 will NEVER support 6D camera raw.
There were ways to get around it, but all were fiddly and I really wanted it to work the way it is supposed to, without any cobbled-together extra/external steps, so I bought the upgrade. I was very pleased with LR 4 vs. LR3, so you may be very very happy to get an upgrade from LR1 to LR4. Much better at noise reduction and general processing is improved overall. The upgrade price is only about $79.00, compared to the stand-alone new purchase price of about $120.00.
Good luck.

Nikon D750 raw files not readable by lightroom?

I just purchased this camera and found out Lightroom 5.4 can not read the files.
Is there a way around this problem?

You need to download and install and use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG, and then import the DNG into Lightroom

Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.

And
What camera?

Why are my RAW images imported in to Lightroom 5 being de-saturated?

Lately, in LR 5.3 and 5.5, every time I import RAW images they show up de-saturated. In the thumbnail they look right, but in both the library and develop mode main screens they show up very flat and de-saturated.
This is the first time I have had this problem.....never had it in V2-4.
I am shooting with a Canon 5D MIII.
I thought that there may be a preset during import that is doing this, but I do not think that is the case.
I need some help, any ideas what is causing this? I cant process all my weddings with this issue.....it would take forever to fix.

Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area. Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

Canon 350D Raw images not recognised

Hi,
I'm using a Canon 350D (UK version of Digital Rebel XT) and OS X (specifically preview and iPhoto) won't recognise the .cr2 raw images it produces.
The images have finder thumbnails but if I try to open them I get:
The document "xxx.cr2" could not be opened.
Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
In iPhoto I get an 'Unreadable files' alert telling me it can't read them and then lists the files.
I know that it should work fine and am stuck in terms of what I'm doing wrong.
This problem has existed since I was on 10.4.7 when I bought the computer and camera - I'm now on 10.4.9. I did download the Aperture trial to see if that helped and had the same problems. Reinstalling OS X made no difference.
Any ideas?

Imac 20" C2D Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Actually, I was getting support for my Canon Powershot S50 in 10.4.8 (at least I could open the Raw files, although Image Capture mysteriously stopped downloading them from the camera), after doing the 10.4.9 Combo update Preview announced it could not open the files. I went in and hacked this file:
"/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist"
Changed the entry for Canon S60 (which I don't have) to Canon S50. Preview will now open the files, haven't tried Image Capture yet to see if it is still broken (works fine in Panther BTW). See this discussion in MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051101035330228
It worked sort of for me (at least I can open the Raw files I already have).

Can't import raw files; not seen by Lightroom

I have a Canon Eos 20d, Lightroom 2.3, and Windows XP. I just shot raw files for the first time and tried to import them into Lightroom. All of my jpeg photos on the memory card could be imported, but none of the raw files appeared to be even "seen" by the program. Any suggestions?

>Is there no way to do it from the camera directly?
I don't know about this camera but many Canons allow you to change the communication mode on the USB bus. For your computer to recognize the camera without special proprietary software, you need to set it to PC connection instead of PTP. This is usually in the setup section. In this mode, also called mass storage mode by other manufacturers, any software and any computer can communicate with your camera and it will just be seen as a (very slow) card reader. If you keep it in PTP mode, the computer can only see the jpegs. Very annoying indeed. It is very possible that your camera doesn't have the mass storage mode and then you might have to use Canon's software to load the RAW images from your camera or get a $10 card reader. A card reader should always work.

Raw Images not recognised.

WHAT have I done wrong? Running Windows 7 ...Photoshop CS5... But cannot open Raw images from a Nikon D300. The 'Latest' ACR w 6.7.1 is downloaded.. Screen message says it is the wrong sort of document.

ps cs5 shipped with cr 6.0 which is sufficient for your nikon d300.
but to see which cr version is installed For Photoshop CS5 - click help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw. The version is listed in the right side of the window.
if that's not 6.71, Double-click the downloaded file and follow the onscreen instructions.

Raw images not recognised in CS5

I am suddenly experiencing problems with Bridge not recognisng my Raw images. I have a new Canon EOS70D which has been fine - but suddenly now when I download the files from the camerato open in Bridge, I get a message saying 'Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Bridge."
I have read the help files and have tried upgrading my Raw plug-in to 'Camera Raw 8.2 and DNG Converter 8.2'. This was done carefully, folllowing the istructions of how to do it and removing the older version.
Adobe don't want to knwo as CS5 is not supported any more. Can anyone please help? Should I delete CS5 and reload, or is there an answer to this?

If you actually installed Camera Raw 8.2 that is probably your problem. The last version of Camera Raw you can use with Photoshop CS5 is version 6.7. You can use the later versions of the DNG converter, even the latest version. But you are going to have to get rid of Camera Raw 8.2 and go back to version 6.7.

Bluray ISO image not readable

Hi all,
If I ask your help today it's because I face a very strange problem with my Bluray ISO disks generated with Adobe Encore CS5.
I explain the problem :
I have generated my personal video (720x1280) with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5
I have created the menu of my bluray with Adobe Encore CS5
Then, I've generated the ISO with Adobe Encore CS5.
The ISO image makes 5,80Go
The problem is, when I mount the ISO image of the Bluray disk with Daemon Tool Lite v4.41.3.0173, the disk can't be read:
With Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player can not play the DVD. Due to its special design, it is not supported by the reader.
With VLC v1.1.11: Your media entrance can be opened: VLC can not open 'dvd: / / H: \. "Check messages for more details.
With Cyberlink PowerDVD9: The disc format in the H: drive is not supported
With Cyberlink PowerDVD11: The disc format in the H: drive is not supported
With TotalMedia theater 5: This disc can not be read
I'm using Windows Seven 64 bits
However, if I burn the bluray ISO image on a real bluray disc, I can read the disc on My PC and my PS3 with:
PowerDVD9
TotalMedia theater 5
and on my PlayStation3
The bluray disc burned can't be read with VLC nor Windows Media Payer nor PowerDVD11
Please, can you help me to understand this problem ?
This are my personal life videos, so I would like to solve this problem in order to save these precious moments.
Regards,
littlesquall

Hi all,
thanks for your answers.
@John T Smith:
What's the solution ?
With http://forums.adobe.com/thread/890691?tstart=0
I haven't tried to generate a folder with Encore but only ISO files.
I will try this solution.
But if I burn the ISO image (5,80Go) with LG Burning Tool, the image is readable on my PC and PS3.
I have tried to make an ISO file from the BD-RE burned, but the new ISO file makes 23Go I don't know why...
With http://forums.adobe.com/thread/890691?tstart=0
My Bluray disc generated makes 5,80Go, so it's not a problem with a too big project.
@Ann Bens:
I've tried with Virtual Clone Drive
Now, I can read the ISO image with Cyberlink PowerDVD9 and TotalMedia theater 5.
The ISO file doesn't work with VLC, PowerDVD11, nor Windows Media Player.
It's better with Virtual Clone Drive but it's not perfect.
I would like to understand, is it a problem concerning the image generated by Encore CS5, or a problem with the soft used to mount the ISO images ?
I save all my personal videos on ISO files, so I would like to understand concretly what the problem is, to be abble to read the ISO in the future...
Thanks for helping me

Canon S120 RAW images not working with iPhoto. Why.

Canon S120 RAW images why they can't be downloaded to iPhoto and/or when will Apple upgrade iPhoto so they can?

Raw Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. That's Model not brand. The Raw from an S120 is not the same as the Raw from an S110 and so on. This is a pretty new camera, and the makes don't supply the Raw decoding, so they have to be reverse engineered. Then that will be released as part of an OS or camera raw update.
Let Apple know you want this camera supported.

Nikon D40x raw files not recognized by Lightroom.

Any updates available for the Nikon D40x ?

It has only been supported since Camera RAW 4.1, so will probably come in the 1.1 update.
You can check the list of ACR and Lightroom supported cameras at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
You can use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your D40x files to DNG and they will be readable by Lightroom 1.0 and earlier versions of ACR.

Raw images not Photo Streaming to Aperture

When I use the camera adapter to download from my SD card to my iPad both the raw and jpeg download. When the images are put onto Photo Stream only the jpeg makes it to Aperture on my iMac.

Photostream doesn't claim to work with all RAW images, the problem is that each manufacturer uses a proprietary RAW format, it would be difficult to keep up with all of them.

Can't get my RAW images to open up in elements 9 from my new 5d mark 3 Camera!

I never had problems opening my RAW images from Canon 5d Mark2 but for some reason, they won't open from my new canon 5d mark 3 camera. A pop up box comes up that says, cannot open file "........." because it is the wrong type of file. Can anyone help as to what I can do???

Hi,
The 5D mark III requires ACR 6.7 or higher - PSE 9 can only goes as far as ACR 6.5.
You need to update to a newer version of PSE or use the free DNG converter to turn the CR2 files into DNGs which can then be read by PSE9.

Images not showing in Lightroom

Lightroom 3.3 was running just fine on my system. I'm not sure if it's related or not, but I set the CameraRaw cache to a different drive. Lightroom is still running fine, except that I can't see any images. Thumbnails, loupe, filmstrip, navigator, develop, slideshow, and print don't show the images, but behave normally. The photos still have their metadata. It's the same behavior for both raw files and jpeg. Other catalogs have the same behavior. The image files themselves are fine. Bridge and Photoshop work fine.
I've set the CameraRaw cache back to the original location. I've renamed the preview folder. I've reinstalled Lightroom. Still no luck.
More system details -- Lightroom 3.3, Photoshop CS4, Premiere Elements 8.0. Windows 7 SP1 x64. All the software had been working together just fine.
I'd really appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions.
Thanks,
- Eric

I found a solution (bad color profile), but here's a sample of what I was seeing to help anyone else in the future.

How can I batch save my adjusted raw images as jpgs in Lightroom 4

I have a job that I imported to Lightroom 4. I made adjustments to 40 of the images and would like to batch save these as jpgs with the LR adjustments saved. So far I know I can save the raws as jpgs but the adjustments are not being saved. I would hate to have to open each image individually to save these changes. Thanks for any help!

Highlight the 40 images, and then open the export dialogue and set your options. There is no "save" option or "save as" option in Lightroom. Since Lightroom doesn't alter your original images, it is necessary to export derivative copies for whatever use you need.
