Using Olympus Raw files on CS2

I have Photoshop CS2 and a brand new Olympus E-PL5. How do I view the RAW files in CS2? I've tried using DNG converter 7.3, but it still gives me an error when I try to open either the ORF or DNG filetype. Also, the Camera Raw plugin says 3.7 currently in the Help menu... is this what is screwing me up? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
What operating system are you using?
Were you able to convert the olympus E-PL5 files to dng with the 7.3 dng converter?
Did you try placing a shortcut to the 7.3 dng converter on your desktop and just dragging one of your E-PL5 files onto the shortcut
to see if it works?
Photoshop cs2 only goes to camera raw 3.7, but should open converted dng files.
Although sometimes one has to use the compatibilty settings in the dng converter for the particular camera raw plugin one has.

Help with Canon G9 RAW file in CS2

I have CS2, and I recently purchased a Canon G9. I noticed that there is an update for Camera RAW that listed the G9 in it. But the update for CS2 doesn't. Can someone point me to how I can read G9 RAW file in CS2?
Thanks.

Use the most recent DNG Converter (version 4.3.1 part of the Camera Raw 4.3.1 download) and convert the G9 files to DNG. Course, with this nice new camera, it would be a real shame to be stuck on Camera Raw 3.x cause Camera Raw 4.x (and Photoshop CS3) is a powerful and worthwhile update.

Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

As I understand it, but I have not tried LR Mobile, you have to have the raw files on a real computer and then sync the smart previews from LR desktop to the iPad. I am still trying to get my head around a real use case for a non professional enthuasist photographer.

*Need Immediate Help*: Aperture Olympus Raw Files

I need help, is there a way to open Olympus Raw Files (.orf) in Aperture? I really need to get my camera's raw photos working!
-Thanks

There are a number of cameras that either were once supported by iPhoto or Aperture and now are not, or that are not supported yet. Apple support declined to provide a list of cameras iPhoto and Aperture were compatible with.
If you use a Canon Digital Rebel, you'll be okay. Otherwise test the software with your camera before buying one or the other.
If all else fails, Adobe Lightroom will, as far as I know, open any RAW image from any camera once it's converted to DNG-RAW with the free DNG converter. So, if you can't get RAW to work with Aperture or iPhoto, there is an alternative.
iPhoto and Aperture are the only photo apps I've tried that will not import RAW of any kind from my Nikon 5700. Apple support had no fix.
If anyone has one, I'd love to hear it.

Olympus RAW Files Preview Problems

Hi,
I have started using Lightroom as my photo editor and organiser and have taken on board the advice to convert RAW files to DNG. Unfortunately I have discovered that Finder (I operate an IMac, Mavericks 10.9.2) will not preview these DNG files. I use an Olympus EM1 and have been reliably informed that Apple does not support Olympus RAW files converted to DNG, but they do support Canon and Nikon. I would appreciate everyone's support in trying to get Apple to recognise Olympus and I would be grateful if you would take a few minutes of your time to copy the following few sentences and post them onto the Apple Feedback web page, which I have also provided. Thanks in anticipation.....
"Hello,
I use an Olympus camera and convert the RAW (ORF) files to DNG in Lightroom. Unfortunately Finder preview does not preview these files, although I believe that Canon and Nikon camera files are previewed. Would it possible for Apple to enable previews in Finder of Olympus RAW files converted to DNG?
Thanks."

In PSE 11, have you checked whether you have the latest plugin for your camera? If not then it is not a bad idea to do it now by going to:
Help >> Updates
You may also want to check if the files are saved in your default location normally "MyPictures" in XP or in Libraries >> Pictures in Windows 7 machine. See this picture:
Hope this helps if not please post back explaining clearly what do you see on the screen.
Good luck.

Problem opening up a RAW file with CS2

I just bought an Olympus E30 camera and shot in RAW. When I uploaded to my computer I was able to open them up with the Olympus editing program but when I try to open in CS2 it gives me an error message that it doesn't recognize the file. File example: _C181661.ORF

In order for photoshop cs2 to open the E30 files you need to use the 6.6 DNG Converter to convert your files to dng copies and then cs2 should be able to open them.

Also the newest camera raw plugin for cs2 is 3.7

Issues opening RAW files with CS2...

I find if a bit complicated to open RAW files with Photoshop CS2 in iPhoto 08 (I'm using OS X 10.5). Currently the only way I've been able to do this is do a search for the file name in the finder, at the bottom of the Finder window, in the path, double click on the folder that the RAW files are in (user/my name/pictures/iphoto library/originals/2007/RAW files), then highlight the NEF files (the cameras a Nikon D200) I want to open, hit command/O then Photoshop CS2 opens the files in the RAW converter. If I try this from CS2 (command/O) the path goes as for as iphoto library (user/my name/pictures/iphoto library), at this point the iphoto library icon is ghosted out and can not be opened. If I drag and drop the image from iPhoto to the CS2 icon in the dock it opens as a jpg not the RAW file I need. If I try clicking my way to the folder from the left side of the finder, my name/pictures/iphoto library this is as far as I can go. There's something strange going on here. How can you go to a folder only one way and not the others? There seems to "hidden" folders now.
So... My question (finally), how can I simply open RAW files from iPhoto 08 in CS2?

In iPhoto's Advanced preferences select the checkbox under RAW Photos: "Use RAW when using external editor". That will open the Cr2 file in the raw editor. To get the edit to show in iPhoto you'll need to click on the Open Image button so the jpg version is created with the edits you made to the RAW file. Then when you save you'll need to navigate in the Save window to the Modified folder and save it into the folder representing the event that the original is in. It's not easy. I've not done much with RAW, just a few tests, so there may be an easier way to get iPhoto to recognize the edited version.
If you don't use the Open File and close iPhoto won't display the edits you made to the RAW file.
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.

Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
Thanks

No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open 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 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Updated Camera Raw File for CS2 / Canon Powershot G10

I am still using Photoshop CS2, but unfortunately I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6) for use with the Canon Powershot G10, and it appears the unless I upgrade to CS4 I won't be able to view any RAW files shot with this camera.
Is there an updated Camera Raw version for the Powershot G10 that is still supported under CS2?
Thanks!

ACR 5.4 was released last night and it requires CS4. That is the latest and current version of Camera Raw.
5.6 probably won't appear until next year.
If you download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.4, you can convert the raw files from your camera to raw DNG files you can then open in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

Merge to Panorama in Photoshop not using edited RAW files

When I had LR4, I could Edit in > Merge to Panorama in PS and it would take the edited RAW files and merge them. Now in LR5 it seems to be taking the unedited RAW files and making the panorama. Is there a setting or something I'm missing in LR5?

Yes it is that simple. Just do a google search for Lightroom and Photoshop preference file locations and you should find them. The next time you start the programs, they will rebuild them. Of course, you'll have to re-enter any custom preference settings you've used. Good luck. Of course, when you think you've located them. Just rename them and move them into another folder first. That way, if you've picked the wrong file, you can easily move it back. Once things are working, you can just delete them.
BTW, this is a good troubleshooting tool for any mac applications that are acting wonky. Just delete that preference file, and more often than not, the problem will be fixed.

Opening RAW file from CS2 in LR instead of Camera Raw.

Has anyone found a way to open a RAW file in Photoshop that will open it automatically in LR instead of CS2's Camera Raw?

No, Lightroom is not a Photoshop plugin. However, ACR3.7 will respect the Lightroom adjustments if you've saved them to XMP, so you'll get the same resulting effect.

Error in DNG files from LR 3.2 using RW2 raw files?

I'm using DNG Profile Editor to generate appropriate profiles for infra-red images produced by converted Canon 5d and Panasonic G1 cameras.
In the case of the 5d this works fine and I've generated good profiles. However, with the G1 I get an error when trying to open the DNG files in DNG Profile Editor that the files are not valid DNG color files. I've produced DNG files from the original RW2 raw files in LR 3.2 both at time of import and using export command -- in both cases although the files are the right size (~13mb) they have dimensions of 0x0 pixels -- I'm assuming this is causing the error in Profile Editor?. When I carry out identical operations with CR2 files from the 5d I get DNG files with the correct pixel dimensions (5616x3744).
Has anyone else seen this problem? -- is it a known issue? -- is there a work-around?
Thanks for your help!
John.

Are you sure you changed the compatibility options correctly? The issue is that the G1 DNG images in the default 5.4 compatibility are using a newer DNG version not supported by the current public version of the DNG Profile Editor. That's why you need to choose the older "4.6" compatibility option, then Export the DNG again.
