When I open CR2 RAW files from Powershot G10 they are in black and white. How do I get colour

I'm using Elements 13 on a PC running Windows 8.1. Each time I open a CR2 RAW file from a Canon Powershot G10 it displays in black and white. The image transferred to Elements is still in black and white. Why can I not see the image in colour?

Try holding down your Alt or Option key. The Cancel button in the Raw dialog will change to Reset.
Click on that Reset, and hopefully it goes back to defaults.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

Camera raw doesn't open when opening a raw file in photoshop

I have a mac mini and am using the latest version of lightroom and have an EOS70d. The problem I experience is that when I open a raw file from lightroom it goes directly into photoshop without launching the camera raw plugin and when I manually launch the camera raw plugin from within photoshop, i do not see the details from the metadata in the image, such as colour temperature etc and there is no blue link at the bottom of the screen. I have tried the version of camera raw included in photoshop asnd the latest beta version, it's the same in both and also the same on my windows machine. I have also tried with raw images from my other cameras including ones taken a long time ago and that have previously opened in camera raw and they don't. Please help

As I said, read my post "Send me both ses files (no media) via my aatranslator dot com dot au web site". I made no mention of saving "frozen track SES files without any media".
I understand your frustration but I only made an offer to assist.
Now if you want me to have a look at your ses file to see if I can work out what is going on then send it to me without sending any of the media associated with it.
If not I'm happy either way.
BTW
The idea of sending 2 ses files is to compare the one which can't find the frozen track with one that has just been saved and apparently includes the frozen track.

When I open a RAW file from my new Sony camera, how can I get it to open in Photoshop instead of Perfect Effects 8?

When I open a RAW file from my Nikon's SD card it automatically goes to PS. I have a new Sony camera; when I open RAW photos from it, it goes to Perfect Effects 8. How can I change it so it goes to Photoshop instead of Perfect Effects 8?

When I have an NEF file on my desktop and click on OPEN WITH, it shows the programs, including Photoshop, that will open it. But, when I click on OPEN WITH for an ARW image, it doesn't show Photoshop. However, your suggestion about dragging the images from the SD card on the desktop into the Photoshop icon provides me with a solution. This is much easier and quicker than the way I was doing it. Thank you very much for your help!!!

Add ability for Lightroom to open a RAW file in Photoshop

Currently, one cannot open RAW files in Photoshop from Lightroom. I realize that there are many of the same ACR 4.1 features in LR, but sometimes I just want to the open the RAW file directly in Photoshop.

I agree with this feature request.
I have lightroom and PS Extended. Lightroom is perfect for browsing and searching through my RAW images (much better than Bridge I find), and many times I will process the RAW in lightroom and then send the TIFF to Photoshop for further editing.
HOWEVER, ;O) Photoshop extended has far more RAW capability. Sometimes I look at a RAW in lightroom and would like to send that straight to PS Extended to process the RAW with the extra features. At the moment, I have to manually open photoshop, search for the photo (which is a long time consumer when I already found it in Lightroom) and then process.
This would be a very handy feature.
It would also work perfectly with a similar extra feature to export RAW to a 3rd party program. Sometimes, after browsing photos in lightroom, I would like to send the RAW straight to Photomatix, an HDR software for tone mapping. It only works with RAW for tone mapping, but Lightroom only allows you to send a TIFF/JPG to an external program.
These simple features would really really speed up my work flow.

Why when I open my raw files into lightroom, colors are different from my camera's preview?

Ciao,
I have a problem... maybe this can be a stupid question but anyway.. I would like to know the reason why when I open a raw image in lightroom, for a second I see the right colors/tone/contrast that i see when i look at the same images on my camera and soon after the word "Loading" I see the raw files with different colors.
Why this happens???
Before "Loading" and --> after
Thank you so much

Hey Giuseppe
I have a similar problem but the cause may be different from yours. I shoot a Canon 6D and as far as I know no one with the 5D MKIII has my issue, but maybe you could look into it.
Canon's Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CC, as well as Lightroom CC, is automatically down converting my CR2 RAW files from 14 bit color depth to 8 bit color depth. This is screwing up my colors, contrast, gradients, etc quite a bit when trying to process RAW files in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
You can read my thread here:
Banding due to automatic downconverting of RAW files to 8 bit
You might want to check and see if your RAW files are actually being processed in 16 bit color depth. There is a possibility that they are being down converted automatically for some reason.
The bit depth in Lightroom for RAW files is supposed to be 16 bit but when opening my files it just converts it down.
Try downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4
Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 5D Mark III
Use that software to process a RAW photo and convert to a 16 bit TIFF. I know this software truly gives you a 16 bit depth image. Then compare the result side to side with what you're seeing in Lightroom.
If you are having this issue, I have not yet found a way to process RAW CR2 files in ACR or Lightroom and maintain 16 bit depth.
If you are batch processing to JPEGs it probably doesn't matter, but my issue is that it is down converting BEFORE exporting and thus any edits I do become much more destructive on my 8 bit image than they would if I was editing a 16 bit image. I have to be able to keep things in 16 bit up until the point they go to the printer.
Sorry, this may not help you at all, it looks like there could just be a difference in White Balance, but I figured I'd throw my two cents out there and maybe you could see if this is actually what is happening for you, and hopefully eventually Adobe could potentially fix this bug.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

How do I open my raw files in Photoshop that have been shot with a Nikon D1700?

I can't open my raw images in Photoshop, I have updated Photoshop but it is still coming up with ...' Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information'. The photos have been taken with a Nikon D1700

It means that you'll either have to use the Adobe DNG converter and convert your RAW files to DNG first, or upgrade to CS6, or use Lightroom to export (TIFF) to Photoshop.
I used the DNG converter for years before finally upgrading Photoshop. It was an extra step, but it just became part of my workflow - put card into reader, download RAW files, go grab a beer, batch convert to DNG, drink beer, edit in Photoshop. But had I known about how powerful Lightroom was I would have switched over to LR long before and just used that to export to Photoshop when necessary.

Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
