Photoshop cc 2019 Locks Up Opening CR2 Files...

Report · Mar 25, 2019

Recently, when trying to open CR2 files in Photoshop CC, PS locks and becomes unresponsive. I can open the files in Lightroom and Elements.

I can open the files and edit them, but as soon as I click Open Image or Done, PS locks. I have to open Task Manager and click End Task to close PS.

I have updated PS and Windows 10.

Any Ideas?

Camera is a Canon T3i.

Hi movemout,

Sorry to hear that. Which Camera file are you trying to open in Photoshop? Which version of Photoshop are you using? Are you getting any error messages while opening the .CR2 files?

Thanks,

Akash
