Why won't photoshop recognize my raw files?

I just bought the brand new Canon Rebel T5i and I was so excited but then when I uploaded my raw camera files to my computer and tried to open them up in photoshop, it said that I needed the latest camera raw update but when I go to Help--> Updates, the updates option is greyed out and I can't click on it. How do I update my photoshop to edit my CR2 Raw files?? I am so lost.
Thank you

tried to open them up in photoshop
Which version of Photoshop? Which operating system?
The answers to your questions lie in the following links.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later.

  • Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?

    Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?  I got a message saying that the camera model is not supported by installed version of camera raw.  How do I fix it?

    Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    You can re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    My opinion on this....from the Photoshop Elements perspective...
    Nikon D810 is supported by Camera Raw 8.6 and higher (latest version of Camera Raw is 8.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    At the same time, the Camera Raw version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version.
    Photoshop Elements 12 appears to support Camera Raw up to 8.5 which does not support the Nikon D810.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Solution...
    a. switch to Photoshop Elements 13 (comes with Camera Raw 8.6 and can be updated to 8.7).
    b. use the DNG Converter in Photoshop Elements 12

  • Why won't my CS4 open RAW files(CR2)?

    Why won't my CS4 open RAW files(CR2)?

    Raw support is version specific. Newer cameras require newer versions of PS.

  • Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • Why won't Photoshop plugin for CR2 files update successfully?

    Hi,
    I can't open CR2 files from my Canon EOS Rebel XSI.  I get the warning "Photoshop cannot open this file.  If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via > Help > Updates."
    So I go to Help >Updates and update, but then get the warning that "Some components of the following products could not be updated."  Listed is the PS icon and a plugin icon.
    I have Lightroom and PS.   It used to work before in PS.  I don't know what is happening now but it is really holding me up.
    Thanks.

    It is likely that your Canon's CR2 files require a newer version of ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module, than you have.
    There are two choices for me:
    I can Move your post to the ACR Forum, or to the Photoshop Forum. As you are using Ps, and that IS a very active forum, dealing with a lot of ACR issues. I will Move it there. Your links and any e-mail subscriptions will follow perfectly.
    Good luck,

  • Why won't Elements 6 open RAW files

       I just purchased a new Canon 50D camera and 6 won't open my RAW files.   Been working fine with my old Canon Rebel.  Can't find any update.  Do I need to get Elements 8????

    The latest compatible camera raw update for PSE6 is Camera Raw 5.6.
    Looks like it does not support the Canon 50D camera. But the latest carera raw plug-ins support this camera but these are only compatible with PSE8. So you will have to upgrade to PSE8 for this.

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • I've installed Photoshop CS5 on a new latop but it doesn't recognize my RAW files.  Additionally, repeated attempts to perform available updates have failed.  The laptop has Windows 8.1 64Bit.

    I don't know who you talked to, but some of the support techs tend to look at CS5 as "no longer sold or supported" and usually don't want to mess with it.
    We are mostly user-volunteers and have time to help you out. Some of us get perks from Adobe, but we are not employees.
    I actually gave you the links to the two very important CS5 updates, but you want to peruse this general list Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    and get the Bridge CS5 updates as well. Adobe - Bridge : For Windows

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

  • Help! Bridge CS4 doesn't recognize 7D RAW files!

    I just got a new computer, it has Vista on it. I installed my Adobe Photoshop and Bridge (CS4) on the desktop, and it won't read the images from my 7D. I downloaded the ACR and DNG converter 5.6, installed it, restarted my computer, and Bridge still doesn't recognize the RAW files. What else can I do? I need to access them ASAP! Thanks

    Look for and download the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6.  No need to be running such an old obsolete version as you reference.
    The Adobe DNG Converter is a stand-alone application that is in no way tied to your version of Photoshop.  You not only download it and install it, but you also have to launch it separately and run it on each folder containing raw files from your Canon camera.  Note that it will not recognize individual files, only the folder that contains them.
    However, you shouldn't need the DNG Converter it if you update your ACR Plug-in to the latest version, ACR 5.7.
    The Adobe auto updater was and remains utterly unreliable—I'd even say useless—in CS4.  You must locate the ACR update at the Adobe site yourself and apply it manually.
    This is the URL for the Mac update, I don't do windows, so you'll have to search for the Win version yourself:

  • Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

    Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.
    Jack

    1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
    2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
    free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc.  here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

  • Elements 10 won't open a nef(raw) file?

    I downloaded photoshop elements 10.Uptated it.It still won't open a nef(raw) file.It just said it is the wrong type of file?What do I have to download to open and edit this type of file?

    You will need to wait for the next camera raw update. You have two alternatives:
    (1) Use Nikon software to convert. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1

  • CS4 won't read Canon T1i raw files

    CS4 won't read Canon T1i raw files. Is this a known problem? Is there an update or plugin that I need to download? If so, where can I find it? Thanks for your help.

    T1i support was added in Camera Raw 5.4. It sounds like your Camera Raw may be out of date.
    From within Photoshop, choose "Updates…" from the Help menu. It'll do its thing and eventually Adobe Updater should tell you updates are available. Run through that install process and you should be set to go.
    Note that you will have to quit Photoshop during the installation process, so make sure all your work is saved.
