Why won't Elements 12 open Canon camera RAW files ending in IMG?

I have a new camera, Canon SX50 which produces RAW images called IMG files. I tried to open one in Photoshop Elements 12 and it says it does not handle that file type. I have Windows 7 x64 operating system. I tried to find updates for Elements 12 and don't see any. (I thought I needed a Camera RAW update). What do I do?

I am not sure if it is relevant but literally 30 mins ago I saw my sytem said there were 2 updates for PSE and PE .
I accepted and saw it loading tons of stuff 45 MB or so all labelled Camera Raw or something like that - maybe that is a fix for your problems
NB I am totally inexperienced just mentioned it as you might check out if you are up to date, and if the latest update helps your issue.

Try installing it manually from:

I upgraded my camera and opening a camera raw file no longer works

I went from a Nikon D3000 to a Nikon D5200. I have an old version of Elements (version 8) and I no longer can open a camera raw file. I tried finding an answer in the support area but am not sure I found what I needed to know. Since my camera is new and didn't exist at the time I purchased Elements does that mean that my old version doesn't support my camera?

You need to buy PSE12 or Lightroom 5.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe 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 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.

Does elements 13 accept canon 70d raw file,as elements 11 does not

does elements 13 accept canon 70d raw file,as elements 11 does not,

Hi,
Yes, Photoshop Elements 13 should read raw files from the EOS 70D. You can always download the trial version and test it for yourself.

Can't open Canon 6D raw files

I'm using windows XP and Lightroon 2.7, and am having problems opening Canons 6D RAW files, I can use CS6 but I like LR better.

You need LR4 to open file from 6D. And LR4 doesn't run under win XP.

Can't open Canon 70D raw files with elements 12

Can anyone advise me why elements 12 will not open my Canon 70D raw files? When I have tried to update elements it tells me that there are no updates available. The Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plugin is version 8.0.0.137

The Canon 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
EOS 70D
CS2
8.2
5.2
Camera Raw 8.5 should be available for Elements 12 via Help > Updates
Photoshop elements 12 and camera raw 8.5
If you have windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X 10.6.8 you won't get the camera raw 8.5 update, because it doesn't work on those operating systems.
In that case you should be able to update to Camera Raw 8.3

Can't open canon g16 raw files. I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16. I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files. The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files. I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that. What am I doing wrong? I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw. My canon 60d raw files work fine.

Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4. You should ALWAYS update to the latest version. Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6. I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
Did you install ACR correctly. ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway). What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Opening Canon T4i RAW files in PSE10

Hello everyone
I recently traded in my Canon T3i for a T4i, and now PS Elements 10 won't open the CR2 RAW files from this camera. According to "Help - Plug In" I have V 6.7, so I went to the Adobe site which said I needed V 7.1, which I download, and extracted, but it won't install it in the software; when I click on the extracted AdobePatchInstaller application, I get a message stating "Update Failed" and "this patch is not applicable for you". Also, when I click "Help-Updates" it tells me everything is up to date. What can I do?

Some jokingly call it the Adobe Tax. If you buy a recently released camera, the specifications for RAW files are probably different than previous models. Adobe takes those specs, camera by camera, and adds thme to ACR. Adobe does not make current new versions of ACR available to legacy software. Hence the "tax". You wrote that your newly released camera is in 7.1. To use ACR 7.1 conveniently ("natively"?) you have to have the versions of Adobe's tools that use the 7.x series. That would be Photoshop Elements 11, Premier Elements 11 and Lightroom 4.x
It was my turn to learn the lessons of the Adobe Tax for a Sony RX100 I bought last year!
Adobe is not entirely rude about this! They give away the "Adobe DNG Converter" that is updated in parallel with ACR. You can, with out paying a cent, download the converter and it will make Elements 10 compatable .DNG files from your CR2 files.
Good luck!

Horrible Adobe Chat Experience - How to open Canon 6D Raw files in CS5?

Hi, I just had an awful Adobe Chat experience with agent Dharma. I waited a very long time and when Mr. Dharma finally was able to help me, he wasn't able to. I was told that my product would no longer be supported and I couldn't be helped by Adobe because it was CS5. I was also sent to a faulty link. Anyway, I recently purchased a Canon EOS 6D and when I tried uploading my photos to Photoshop CS5 it said my RAW photos could not be supported. I followed the appropriate links for support and help.
My CS5 is updated, the Adobe Bride is updated. The extension for the photos is CR2 and they will not show the thumbnails in bridge and won't load in Photoshop. I need help. Now, I am hoping Adobe will support it's product and customer.

As each new camera comes out, Adobe have to write the code that enables Camera RAW to work with its RAW files. It is nrealistic to expect them to keep doing this for all previous versions of Photoshop. The Canon 6D needs ACR7.3 which Photoshop CS6

You have several alternatives.
As an owner of CS5 you can take up the BUndle deal at $10 a month.
You can download the free DNG conversion software, and convert your CR2 files to DNG which CS5 can read.
You can buy Lightroom 5, oir even Lightroom 4 (if you can still find a copy)
I'd go with the Bundle deal. There is a lot more to CC than reading Canon 6D RAW files.

Open a camera raw file by double clicking it in Windows Explorer

I am running Lightroom 1.3.1 on a personal computer running Windows XP. Is it possible to double click open a camera's raw file (in my case it is a Canon camera CR2 file) that I can see within an open folder in Windows Explorer, and have the Lightroom application start up to display the image?
I tried to "associate a file type to a program application" by right clicking the raw file, choosing Open With, Choose Program, I could not find Lightroom under the default list Other Programs so I browsed to the LR application that was found in the Programs folder to select it, and then I chose "always use this selected program to open this kind of file".
Now when I open a folder in Windows Explorer using the icon types display, I see an icon with an "A" for Adobe showing up for all of the raw files in that folder, so it appears to be associating the file correctly to the LR application. However when I double click on a raw file to open it there is an error message that comes back stating the program is "not a valid Win32 application". Subsequently the file does not open up to view the image.

The simple answer is No. So remove your association of images from the "open with" Lightroom. It does not work that way and never will.
As you may know, Lightroom is a program that allows you to manage your images and a key part of its operation is a database file; So when you start Lightroom, you cannot even get it to open an image file directly from disc; in other words it does not allow you to "browse" for images and display them. (use some other program to do that, e.g. FastStone image viewer. I think it will display Canon CR2 files, it does work for Nikon's nef files.)
The key to understanding Lightroom, is that you create a catalog file ( the database) and then import pictures into that database. Then, within Lightroom, you can browse through your pictures in the Library module; (and of course you can do a lot more than that in the Develop module etc).
