Viewing CR2 files in Bridge/Photoshop

Using the CS4 suite, downloaded the Camera Raw 5.6 updater and it doesn't seem to do anything.
How can I view CR2 Canon raw files in Bridge and open in Photoshop?

What camera model/make are you using?  If a later model ACR of CS4 might not cover it.

  • Cannot view cr2 files in Bridge cs4 & Windows 7

    I can not convert the cr2 files in cs4      nor read them with new Windows 7      Home Edition 64 bit computer
    Upon      downloading from my camera I am unable to view the images.
    After      downloading the file, when clicking on the file in Bridge to bring it into      Photoshop I get the following message” Could not complete your request      because it is not the right kind of document”
    I am      able to view the images on the media card from the camera.
    I have      contacted Canon and they suggest that it’s a software issue and that I      should  go to the Adobe website and      look for Windows 7 64 updater.
    I was      unable to find anything with this reference but I updated to Bridge 5.7.
    After      trying to see the images after the update I was still unable to view the      images so I logged onto the Adobe Support site and was told that they no      longer support cs4.
    Any suggestions ?

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

    I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

  • Script to view SVG files in Bridge?

    Is there a script to view SVG files in Bridge? I have to compare 55k images converted from eps to svg.

    Very grateful for your response and time.
    The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
    Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
    I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
    By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
    I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?

  • My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

    My friend is unable to open CR2 files in bridge but I can in CS6. How can I help him

    What version of Bridge and Camera Raw is your friend using?  And what camera is this from?
    Each camera must be supported specifically and older versions of Adobe products don’t get updated for newer cameras.
    Your CS6 is obviously new enough and has been updated to a new enough version of the Camera Raw plug-in but perhaps theirs is older or hasn’t been updated.
    Here is a list of cameras that Adobe supports along with the version of the Camera Raw plug-in that is needed to read them:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    For versions older than CS6, the highest CR version is +1 of the CS version—CS5 can use CR6.x but not CR 7 or 8.
    The exception is CS6 which is still be sold by Adobe so can be updated to CR8 even though it initially shipped with CR7.

  • After updating Bridge & PS, still unable to view CR2 files from Canon M3

    I cannot view CR2 Raw files from the Mark III on Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 to convert into TIF and JPG files for a client. I have updated all of my Adobe programs, restarted, and the files are still not showing up for me. Help please!

    Thank you for elaborating.
    Your system should absolutely be opening those files.  Any of the versions of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in) that run with Photoshop 13.0.6 can and will open those files if properly installed, that includes the current version, ACR 8.6.
    Go to About Plug-In > Camera Raw… in the Photoshop menu and see what version shows up there, just to check that the plug-in is installed correctly.  There should only be one version of ACR in the plug-in menu.
    That Canon camera model has been supported ever since ACR versions 6.7 in CS5 and 7.1 in CS6.
    If ACR only shows once in the plug-in menu and you still cannot open your file(s), then you in all probability have corrupted files.
    The fact that you can see the images in Apple's Preview means nothing, only that Preview is showing you the embedded JPEG preview embedded in the file. Such JPEG previews generally do not get corrupted even if the raw file has been corrupted.
    I hope you have the original CR2 files or good backups. 

  • ACR Plugins not working and Bridge won't view cr2 files

    Hey there.. I've been using Photoshop/Bridge/ ACR for 7 years now but from memory I have had this issue before when installing.
    My laptop just got a new hard drive and fan and I've had to reinstall everything.
    I downloaded 3 different ACR plugins and none of them have enabled Camera Raw reading for bridge.
    I'm using CS6 with Canon 5dmk2 cr2 files.
    I have tried 7.1
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 7.1 Update
    I have tried 6.7
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
    I've tried this link
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
    and I've tried a Microsoft codec pack somebody else suggested
    Download Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (6.3.9721.0) from Official Microsoft Download Center
    Please help....

    The 5D2 only needs ACR 5.2 or newer so your current version of ACR 7.1 should open the files.
    If ACR isn’t enabled in Bridge then the usual thing is to launch Photoshop and open a raw file at least once without using Bridge, with File / Open or PS / Open.
    Doing Help / Updates from PS should install the latest ACR version for you in case that helps.
    You can also try installing ACR manually.
    If you have a newer OS like Windows 7+ or OSX 10.8+ then try ACR 8.8 is what you want to install:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    If you have an older OS like Windows Vista or OSX 10.6.8 then ACR 8.3 is what you want an installer further down on this page:

  • I can no longer view raw files in bridge - CS4

    I have already updated camera raw to view my CR2 files from my Canon 50 D.  All was working well, I have already edited over 1000 photos using bridge to browse.  I used it yesterday and it worked fine.  Shot some more photos, loaded them to my computer and then tried to browse in bridge.  Now bridge will not show me the photos, I get the raw icon only.  I reset preferences.....restarted my computer.....installed updates...... I have no idea why it suddenly stopped working....or how to fix it!  Has anyone had a similar problem?  I am using windows vista.

    These same files however do open with my photoshop elements 5 and I have updated the camera raw in this file also.
    I would guess that the RAW files were updated  into the wrong folder.  There can be only one ACR in the file, and it must be in correct location.  Re-read the download instructions to make sure you did it correctly.

  • Trouble viewing .tif files in bridge?

    When I open a folder of images in Bridge I can see the CR2 files but the edited .tif files only appear as a generic .tif icon, and when I press the space bar to try to preview them larger I get that same icon. I can see some of the .tifs as the icons but when I try to view those larger it's only a tiny preview image, like a 1"x1" icon. The only way I can view the images is to physically open each one in photoshop

    CR2 files are raw Canon files. If you can open them, it means your OK as far as the installation of the proper version of the ACR Plugin.
    If you can't see the thumbnails of the TIFFs but you can open the files themselves in Photoshop by double-clicking on them, then all you may have to do is Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu of Bridge Tools > Cache > Purge cache for folder "name_of_folder".
    Note that I am flying blind here as you haven't provided any sensible, meaningful and detailed information about your setup.

  • New Nikon D3100... Can't view NEF files in Bridge?!

    Hi guys,
    I have just purchased a Nikon D3100, taken some snaps and tried to view them using Adobe Bridge.
    Unfortunately I only get the NEF icon and when I try to open in Photoshop the file is not recognised.
    I have attempted to follow numerous discussions and help topics to be able to view my photos but none have seemed to have worked and now Im sure I have files/folders in the wrong place or deleted!!! It is incredibly fustrating!!!
    I am an amateur running CS4 and would really appreciate if someone could help me view my photos?
    Jim

    I believe your camera was released after Photoshop CS5, which means you will need that version of Photoshop for direct support of your raw files.  However, if you download the current version of the DNG converter you can convert your NEF to DNG files.  Then you will be able to open the raw image data with your version of Photoshop/ACR.

  • RAW CR2 files cause Bridge / PS CS3 to quit after Snow Leopard

    OS: Snow Leopard Fresh Install
    Camera: Canon XTi
    Files: Canon RAW CR2
    Issue: Access of ANY kind to a RAW file causes the app(s) to quit.
    Detail: Everything was fine in Leopard but for various reasons I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard. Wiped the drive and installed clean. Installed iLife 09 and then did any Apple updates. I then installed CS3 and did all the Adobe updates (Almost 600 MB). Used PS for some graphic stuff with no issue and thought everything was good until today. Went to Bridge and simply tried to navigate to my RAW photos and it quit. Tried opening a RAW in PS... same thing. Checked the ACR version and is was 4.6 but I reinstalled anyway... same. So, I uninstalled the fresh copy of CS3 and reinstalled to be safe... same. OK, now it was testing time. Navigated to the RAW files in Finder and can view them fine. I can quick preview them, open them in preview etc, so the OS raw support is fine. Same thing happens just trying to open the file with PS CS3 since it open using RAW.
    I removed the RAW plugin and Bridge stayed open fine and displayed the files as generic thumbs. Put the plugin back and it dies again.
    In Leopard the RAW Prefs were set to store the settings in the RAW database instead of sidecar files and I have tried putting the database file in from the pre-snow leopard backup. No luck. I am totally stumped any any ideas are welcome. I am about to restore the Leopard image.
    Thanks in advance,
    Razz

    Thanks for the idea Carolyn.
    Unfortunately it did not fix it. I had tried it before and tried it again after your post. Thing is, it can't be the cache since the install of bridge has never been used. As soon as I load it and try to go view my files it quits. I would expect this from an upgraded SL install but an erase & install with fresh CS3 and all the OS and Adobe updates should be smooth. I really don't want to go back to Leopard but have to be able to mess with my photos. Why would removing the raw plugin stop the failure? It is 1 file, the correct version and fresh installed. Not sure what to do except maybe start over and yet that could still fail and takes a LONG time. I hate to upgrade to CS4 since I am not sure where the issues is.
    Maybe install SL again over the top as an upgrade?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks, Razz

  • Can't open .cr2 files in Bridge CS4 v.3

    Been browsing for hours; can't find the right answer...
    I just purchased a Canon 60D, which shoots .cr2 raw files. They won't open in Bridge, which previously opened my Canon 10D .crw raw files. What do I need to do to make the .cr2 files open?
    I'd rather not install Canon's Digital Photo Professional 3.10 (came with camera) if I can find a solution/upgrade within Bridge/PSE.
    Details:
    MacBook OS X 10.5.8
    Bridge CS4, completely updated to v. 3 with Camera Raw v. 5.7 (which are the latest updates available, I think; just updated today).
    Photoshop Elements 8
    Thanks in advance.

    Your CR2 files from the 60D are not supported for your version of ACR.
    Each vendor uses different Raw type and sadly enough they use also a different raw type for each new camera the produce. Adobe offers free upgrade for those cameras, about 3 or 4 times a year. In the past they could not get the new Raw types earlier then the consumers so often this meant you had to wait for a period before the ability in ACR was there. Today they have a better relationship and often get pre production models so the updates are already there when the new cameras arrive on the market.
    However being a commercial company they don't offer those upgrades for other then the latest versions of ACR and Photoshop. Currently CS6 and CC are both getting the updates but earlier version are not upgraded any longer.
    Here is a list of the cameras that are supported and the minimum ACR versions needed for the cameras:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    There is another option available and that is the free Adobe DNG converter. The latest version is here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5596
    Or if the link does not work do a search on Adobe.com your self. After the files have been converted to DNG you will be able to use them in your version of ACR.

  • How do I resolve CR2 files problems in Photoshop CS 5.1 ?

    When I try to open or download CR2 files in Photoshop Ce 5.1 or Adobe Bridge it causes the program to shut down.

    There's a whole lotta forums for ACR/ PS/ Bridge. Ask there and provide more exact info like where those CR2 files are coming from and on what system you work.

  • No longer able to view NEF files in Bridge or edit in Camera Raw 4.6

    I have found similar questions in various Adobe forums, but I have not located a solution to my problem.
    Bridge CS3
    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    XP
    Camera Raw version 4.6.0.30
    Nikon D300s
    Up until 2 weeks ago I have been copying my NEF files from my CF card via reader, opening Bridge, selecting thumbnail of NEF and opening it in Photoshop CS3. At which point I can process with Camera Raw 4.6.
    Now, once new NEF files copied and Bridge opened, I only see NEF icons. When I double click the file, Photoshop opens and a box appears with the following text: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Upon inspecting the differences between NEF files that I can edit and the new NEF files that I cannot, I notice in the metadata file properties that the application of the successful files is ver. 2.00 and the duds is ver. 1.00.
    What "application" is the metadata referring to? I think this may be a Nikon setting, but it would help me understand the problem better if I knew what "application" this is.
    I can convert the new NEF files into jpgs using Adobe DNG Converter, but this GREATLY complicates a previously straightforward work flow process.
    Thank you for any light that may be shed on vexing dilemma,
