What happens when you double-click or use File->Open in Photoshop? Error message or what?
Also, where are the files located?

You can also try the DNG Converter and/or Canon Digital Photo Professional to see if the files are corrupted. Sometimes this will make them not open properly.

Fixed. If I download a CR2 file with Apple Photo or Image Capture, it doesn't open. With Canon Utility (tough not the version for Catalina, not yet available) it opens perfectly. Thank you very much Lumigraphics and nikunji.m
