Replacing jpg's with cr2 raw files

I have a new T2i and apple nor adobe support its raw files. Right now I am shooting RAW+JPG in the camera. If I bring all of my jpeg's into aperture 3 now, can I then replace them with the CR2 files later on when aperture supports the raw files? How would I replace them file for file.
thanks

You can import the RAW+JPEG pair and use the JPEGs for now. If/when Apple supports the RAW files, you can just tell Aperture to re-render the RAW files and use those.

  • Need help with .cr2 RAW-files

    Hi,
    I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
    However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
    I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.

    as a last resort ...
    this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
    but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
    you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_RAW_Compatibility_Update_25
    info on rolling back the update is in this thread:

  • My Elements 8 won't let me work with CR2 raw files from my Powershot 100.

    I just bought a Canon Powershop 100 because it takes raw images.  However, the CR2 files are not recognized by my Elements 9.  I have updated to ACR6.6.  What do I have to do to edit these files in Elements?  Thanks.

    You have three alternatives Jerry:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 10. (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:

  • Will the dng converter deal with CR2 raw files from Canon 7D?

    Mine does not. If there is an upgrade, please remind me where to obtain it.
    Thank you -- ML

    Yes, the Canon 7D has been supported since version 5.6.
    You should always use the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently version 6.2.

    every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. Andrej

    Hi Jim,
    yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
    I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

    Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon  EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

    Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
    Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
    Thanks!

  • Corrupt CR2 RAW files

    Has anyone found a fix for CR2 RAW files being corrupted? I have read all the thread postings I could google on various forums and can not seem to find any solid fix to the problem.
    I purchased the Canon 400D for my trip to Asia and shot over 1500 photos, almost all in RAW. I transferred 90% of the images onto CDR and DVD media to make more room my Sandisk Extreme III 4gb card. Of the 1500+ photos, 150+ of my images remain corrupted.
    I am posting this in hope that someone has found a fix.
    Hardware:
    Canon 400D Xti Rebel
    Sandisk Extreme III 4gb
    Atech Flash Technology "Pro-Gear" USB 2.0 card reader
    IBM/Lenovo Z60M desktop replacement
    Software:
    Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional)
    Microsoft Camera Raw Viewer (does not work with CR2)
    Adobe CS2 with latest upgrades
    I filled my CF card up four times during the duration of my trip.
    Listed in order:
    1 - 6 CDR's
    2 - 1 DVD
    3 - 3 CDR's
    4 - straight transfer from CF card to my Z60m laptop
    Of the four times I DL'ed images, the first 4 CDR's were the only folders that did not carry any corrupted files. All files were DL'ed onto a PC using my Atech card reader locally before burning.
    Of all the images I took, I noticed a total of about 2 to 3 images that are shown to be corrupted when played back on my camera. I reviewed each and every file anywhere between 1 to 5 times on my camera prior to transfer and they all looked fine (maybe the camera plays back the embedded jpegs?). I would delete all images using the in camera function. I formatted the card before each fresh shoot. Originally thinking it was a CD/DVD transfer issue, that would not explain why some images from the last batch off the CF card (straight from CF card to reader to laptop) were also corrupted.
    Here's my workflow (I'm new to RAW): I used Canon's DPP for a day and all the thumbnails displayed perfectly. Like CS2, I believe the software first displays the embedded jpg Thumbnails before loading the actual RAW preview. I did NOT notice any corrupted images based on the rendered thumbnails but I have not verified all my images first before making a strong claim to this.
    I have not installed my copy of CS2 at this point and anxious to use Adobe Bridge, I did so the following day. After playing with some images, I began to notice some weird lost of colors in some of my thumbnail preview images. I attempted to open these files and DPP gave me a corrupt image notification. I tried it in Adobe Bridge and the images opened only to show me that either the image had part of it white, black or various colors. Some images were entirely black.
    On the advice of a forum poster, I used Fastone Image viewer to see if I can save the image as jpegs and it worked but the jpeg was a smaller both in file size and dimension; not a complete lost at least. I did not recall having any image corruption with the exception of about 3 images (at most) which was witnessed on the camera itself during playback which prompted me to think that there was a bad sector on the CF card.
    Notes:
    - One forum poster suggested that Microsoft's RAW viewer were causing problems. Originally, I attempted to open one or two CR2 files and MS RAW viewer launched but gave me errors. I DL'ed the latest version and installed it and it will also not work on CR2's. After reading the MS page on the RAW viewer, it shows that CR2 was not supported yet. I then uninstalled the proggie after reading the posting.
    - Another forum poster suggests that it is a bad card reader. I will attempt to transfer images directly from the camera going forward.
    I'd hate to have this happen again but can not fathom why the problem will not reiterate itself with more RAW transfers going forward. Hopefully, someone has a good solution. Thanks. -Will

    Rita,
    The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
    1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
    2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
    3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
    Hope this helps.

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
    Alex

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • Canon 5D CR2 RAW Files Have Visible Artifacts

    There's a digital dithering pattern that's clearly visible on CR2 RAW files even with no adjustments in Aperture. Here are two example screenshots from Photoshop. The first is an 800 ISO image and the second is a 50 ISO image. I shoot RAW + JPEG.
    In the first, the JPEG from the camera, zoomed at 400% (top) and the equivalent JPG export at quality "12" (lossless) from the RAW image in Aperture with no adjustments (bottom). This is just the RAW, exported to JPEG at lossless 8 bit, same area at 400%. I experimented with 16-bit TIFF and PSD exports as well and the dithering pattern is the same:
    http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureJPGBug.jpg
    In the second, I took the original RAW, converted it to DNG format (I have to in order to use Adobe Camera Raw on CS 1) and imported into Photoshop using ACR "camera default" settings. I show that image at 12.5% at the very top and a detail in a window at 400% in the middle of the stack. The bottom image was created by bringing the RAW into Aperture and, without making any adjustments, exporting it as a 16-bit Photoshop file.
    I picked the blue area because it's easy to see the dithering pattern in a solid color. But it's there across the image.
    This is not just a high ISO or highly adjusted image problem. This is an EVERY image problem, at least with Canon 5D CR2 files.
    http://www.pipsqueak.com/imagehosting/ApertureExport_Bug02.jpg
    I've taken the same file, processed it using Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop, exported it as a 16-bit PSD file and brought that into Aperture. Exports from that file are flawless. So I conclude that this has to do with the way that the OS is converting RAWs from the Canon 5D (or CR2s generally).
    Can this be a priority to fix? If Aperture can't export high quality images, its other truly admirable features will be for naught.

    Ian wrote a really good description of what RAW files are:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1303439&#1303439
    Since the RAW file is encoding the chip information, and the two 1D2 and 1Ds2 cameras use different chips (they do, don't they?), then it's conceivable that they could have different results in Aperture.
    On the other hand, I thought that CR2 files had the same underlying file structure, so it's strange that they encode differently.
    Might it be possible to take some kind of test image with both cameras that is basically identical and has some areas that are dark? It would be interesting to compile a list of those cameras that have conversion issues and those that don't. I know the Canon 5D conversion is not so good, and that there's an Olympus problem (although I don't remember the camera). On the other hand, there are a number of Nikon users who seem pretty pleased with their conversions.

  • CR2 raw files

    My wife swears blind that when she used to drag a Canon CR2 raw file from iPhoto 08 on to the desktop she used to get a .cr2 file on the desktop, whereas now she gets a jpeg. Is this right? Is there any way to get a raw file if dragged on to the desktop? I know that export will get a raw file on the desktop but she says that's the Windows way of doing things she just wants to drag it out as a raw.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Steve:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your wife is right but don't admit it. Just tried it with iPhoto 6 and the original CR2 file is created when dragged from the thumbnail to the desktop. I won't tell if you don't.
    Suggest that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    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. 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.

    You have two options with Photoshop.
    Upgrade to CS4 so you can use the latest Adobe Camera Raw plug-in, or use the DNG converter from the Downloads page above to make readable versions of your CR2 files.

  • Unable to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Folks,
    I have been trying to open Canon 7D CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS6 (Extended) (Windows 8.1) but I'm always getting the error "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse your file".
    I installed the Camera Raw plugin ver 8.8.0.397 today. Did this initially by downloading and running the CameraRaw_8_8.zip available here Camera Raw plug-in installer. Still got the error.
    Went and did the Check Updates in Photoshop and updated the Camera Raw (and other components) but STILL cannot open the CR2 files.
    I can see the thumbnails in Bridge but when I double click to open them in Photoshop, same error.
    Cannot seem to get past the "Could not complete your request..." error.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Doug...

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for your replies and assistance so far, very much appreciated. Its a very frustrating problem... this should be one of those things that just work.
    I have uploaded two sample pics taken with my canon 7d. If you get a chance, could you please try opening these images to see if they work on your machine.

    I have tried opening them on both my office and home computer but neither of them work.
    Hmmm... could it have anything to do with the lens (Canon Macro Lens EF  100mm1:2.8 USM)
    Many thanks!

  • How can I batch process CR2 raw files to tif's without losing color adjustments?

    Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:
    I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap. Please help.

    Simply drag the entire folder through Bridge—or even individual files—the invisible xmp files containing your adjustments will automatically and invisibly travel along with the image files, as long as you do it within Bridge, not through the OS.
    Otherwise, you would need to set your Mac OS to always make invisible files visible, and you don't want that hassle.
    Just use Bridge to move files around or to copy them to a new folder.
    Incidentally, there's a dedicated Adobe Bridge forum:

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • Is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

    is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

    The 5D.3 was first supported in ACR 6.7 which you need PSE 10 to use, so there is no plug-in for PSE9 that will allow opening the files from a camera newer than when PSE9 became obsolete.
    Besides getting PSE12, assuming it is supported on your current computer—check the specs, you can use the free DNG Converter available from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html 
    to convert your CR2 files to DNG files that are compatible with older versions of ACR.  Be sure to set your DNGC compatibility settings to a version old enough to be openable with PSE 10’s ACR.
    As far as whether the OP is serious, it doesn’t hurt to ask the question before spending money on something you didn’t need.
