Unable to Import RAW files

I have a new Canon G10 camera and have been experimenting. Today I took some RAW format photos. I am currently using OS 10.4.11
iPhoto 6 will not import these files; a window of 'Unreadable Files' is headed by "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Each file is in the following format '/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto/IMG_0638.CR2'.
Can these be imported? If not can they be downloaded to one of my Macs for later use when I get something like Elements?

Image Capture is in your Applications Folder.
A Card Reader is a very good buy:
it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
It saves the battery on your camera
It saves wear and tear on your camera ports
It’s almost always faster.

Unable to import RAW files from my 400D, (XTi) Even if its a supported cam

Hi,
I have been unable to upload RAW files from my Canon XTi, a.k.a. 400D. I know this camera is supported and I am running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on an Intel Core Duo Mac Book.
iPhoto had no issues with my previous Canon 350D raw files, yet its not working with the 400D. Is very likely a matter of installing an update, yet when i tried to install the ppl version it stated that this was not to be installed on this system. Would there be an update specific for Intel based machines to support the 400d?
Has anyone experienced this same issue that would like to share in their resolution? This would definetively be appreciated.
Happy Holidays and may you get the PS3 or something cool like that.

You need the Universal version of that update the ppc version won't work on your intel based machine:

"This update improves RAW file format compatibility for the following digital SLR cameras:
-Canon Digital Rebel XTi / 400D / Kiss X Digital
-Nikon D80

Unable to import raw files from a99 in to photoshop elements 10

All worked fine with a77. Have downloaded new adobe raw 7.2 Can import for sdhc card to LR and then edit in PSE10 but unable to download from card into PSE10

Hi,
The SLT-A99V is supported by LR from version 4.2.
You do need ACR 7.2 or later for that camera, however PSE 10 only supports up to ACR 6.7 and not ACR 7.2.
Since you have LR, the best approach would be to use LR to convert the RAW to a TIF and import that into PSE 10.
Alternatively, you could download the latest DNG converter and use that to convert the RAW files to DNG files and then import the DNGs.
Out of interest, if you use LR, why do you want to import them into PSE? I use LR as my organizer and only use the PSE editor as an external editor when I want to do more complex editting - I don't need the PSE organizer.

Version 3.4.1 : unable to import RAW files

I've installed the new version 3.4.1. (on a Windows 7 system, 64 bits)
Now, it's unable for me to import new RAW files. I've found the same issue with RAW files from a D300 NIKON and from a G10 CANON.
Thank you for your answer.

Solved after a rename of the files. Apparently, LR was considering that these files were already in the catalog (but it was not the case !).
I don't understand, but for me, I consider that this issue is solved.
Best regards,
André.

I am unable to import Raw files taken with my new camera Canon SX60HS.

I am running Elements 12, I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw v 8.7.1 as it indicates that it supports raw files taken with this camera model. I continue to get the error that nothing imported as it did not contain supported file types. Do I have to do something further to connect this ACR program to Elements in order to have it work or am I missing something else.

The SX-60 HS requires ACR 8.7, and PSE12 is only compatible up to ACR 8.5, so you’ll either need to upgrade Elements or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to convert a folder of raw files to DNG files, and then those DNG files will open in your older ACR.
You can get the DNG Converter from here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Unable to import Raw files from 5D Mk3 into LR3 [was:.CR2 files]

I am having trouble importing .CR2 files into lightroom 3. Any Suggestions

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The 5D Mk3 was first supported in Lightroom 4.1. Lightroom 3 will not be upgraded to read files from the 5D Mk3.
You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw .CR2 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 3.

Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
"Unreadable Files
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

I am unable to import raw images into elements 11 camera raw from my panasonic lumix 200

I am unable to import raw files to E11 from my Panasonic Lumix 200. I get a response that says "nothing imported - no supportive file types" also "can't complete request as file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of Camera raw". I think I understand that I need at least a 7.2 version and don't know what I have. The camera is a fairly recent model.

I'm new to all of this and didn't know to look further down the menu. I started browsing under help and found how to register the product which I hadn't done and have been thinking that was the root of the problem. Turns out with your suggestion to get me started I was right - I hope, haven't tested it yet. I had 6.4 It is still running.

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

Import "RAW files only" also imports JPEGS (+ steps to reproduce)

I filed this bug report to Apple:
Summary:
When importing "RAW files only" the accompanying JPEGs are also imported when the files are stacked (cmd-K) in the import screen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new library
2. Insert a card from a camera (checked with Canon G9, Lumix DMC-LX3) which holds RAW files and their accompanying JPEG files (same filename, different extension)
3. Cmd-I to import, if the import screen does not open by itself.
4. Make sure "RAW files only" is selected
5. Select "Uncheck All"
6. Select a few RAW files (for example 4) (click first, shift-click last, click checkbox, all 4 are selected at once)
7. Cmd-K to put them in a stack.
Above the "Import Checked" button the number of files to be imported is shown, 4 in this case.
8. Click "Import Checked"
Wherever the images are imported, not only the 4 RAW files will be imported, but also the accompanying JPEG files. This is also the case when only JPEGs are requested, in that case the RAW files will be imported as well.
Is is essential that the images to be imported are stacked in the import screen. If this is omitted, only the requested files (either RAW of JPEG) are imported (4 in this example).

Hi again
Sorry the delay in getting back to my post but I've been a tad busy.
Well, after a bit of testing I can confirm that the problem does seem to be an issue with Vista (32bit and 34 bit) as Jeff states.
I tried importing the raw files into Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit and whilst all operating systems allowed the import of JPEG files, I was only able to import the raw files into XP.
I havent got a card reader so am unable to test this at the moment.

Importing RAW files into iPhoto'08

I'm trying to import photo's taken in a RAW format from my Canon 550d into iPhoto'08 and all the time after trying to move the photo into an album I get an error message saying 'unable to import unreadable file'.
could this be due to a software update needed for iPhoto'08 for the 550d which I have yet to install?
I have noticed on occasion, a software update would come up to support other camera's when using RAW files.

since I've downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 I have noticed I can now import and work on RAW images taken off my 550d in iPhoto '08.
so it seems thats a way to get it to work. although now that I'm using Aperture 3 (just the trial version for now), I do not want to go back to using iPhoto '08! lol, its a cruel world...

I am unable to import Raw still images from a Nikon D 80 into Premiere Pro cs 4. All jpeg images ok

I am unable to Import RAW still Images from a Nikon D 80 camera into
Premiere Pro. All jpeg images import Ok. A web search suggests I need "plug-ins" for RAW, but I can not find same. Any suggestions as to how to inport RAW files to PP CS 4 would be appreciated. I have just updated from Premiere Elements 4 which had no problem importing RAW still images.
Roygo

The way I see it (correct me if I'm wrong) but Raw is supposed to be where you have total editing control of the shot (as opposed to the camera). I believe the next step is to do the editing (i.e. color balance, exposure, etc) then make a regular image from that to use in whatever output you desire (print, web, etc.) Think of raw as the negative. Just being in raw doesn't in it self make it better.
Edit. This is from premiere help files....
Supported still‑image and sequence file formats
Adobe Premiere Pro supports 8-bit per-channel (4 bytes per pixel) and 16-bit per-channel (8 bytes per pixel) still-image files. It converts images with lower bit-depths to 8-bits per channel and images with higher bit-depths to 16-bits per channel on import. High bit-depth files are supported at one single-precision float per channel (16-bytes per pixel).

Unable to import raw photos

I am unable to import raw photos from my Nikon D5300. The thumbnails come up but are grayed out with "preview unavailable for this file" any suggestions? I can import jpg.

Support for your camera model was added with the release of Lightroom 5.3.
What version are you currently running?

Suddenly i am unable to import RAW to Lr4.4. I was able to import just prior to leaving US, but now i receive an error message (if i could update the screenshot, i would)

i have been using Lr for years. No recent changes to my preferences on Lr4.4 or my MacBookPro. When i tried to import RAW while traveling in Vietnam, i receive this error message
"some import operations were not performed"
then there is a list of my import files with the comment "the following files were not imported because they could not be read"
yet i have been importing RAW files from this camera (Canon D5II) for several years.
Thanks in advance for your help

"Could not be read" means that the destination directory, where the photos are supposed to be copied into, does not have WRITE permission.
Change your permissions on that folder.
