When trying to open CR2 file in Photoshop using bridge I get this message

I updated the whole suite including the camera raw

I updated the whole computer which is iMac

and still giving me the same error message.

Which says "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"

any ideas?

    First go to the Photoshop menu > About Plugins > Camera Raw  The splash screen should be 9.1.1, the latest for CS6.

    Next see if 9.1.1 supports your camera: Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    If not, you will need the DNG Converter. Go here for the latest version: Adobe Digital Negative Converter with detailed instructions on how to set it up and use it.

    Hello - I have the same problem as the one above (original post). I have upgraded to 9.1.1, and my camera is Canon EOS 700D, which is supported by 9.1.1.

    Can you please help ? I am stuck and have nowhere to find a proper answer. Tell me if there is any further detail needed to get it sorted.

    Cheers.

    Try using the DNG Converter to see whether it might be read and converted for RAW use.

    Very old software, perhaps it's too new a camera.
