Frustrating question

[erikr41419352]

I'm hoping someone can help.

I have PSE7 and I have downloaded the camera raw plug-in 5.6.0.148 however I still cannot open my Canon Rebel T5's .CR2 raw file saying it's the wrong type.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi

The Canon Rebel T5 needs adobe camera raw 8.4 or later (see link below)

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

Unfortunately the latest camera raw compatible with Photoshop Elements 7 is version 5.6

Camera Raw plug-in and Adobe application compatibility

So your choice is to use a later version of Elements or try the free DNG convertor to convert your CR2 files to DNG then open those files . The download link for the convertor is half way down the page in the link below:

Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC

Thanks!

You have kept me from pulling out my hair!

I could have sworn that I had read on hear that the 5.6 would support my camera. Apparently, I was wrong.

Thanks again!

Yeah. I read the Lightroom column.

Thanks, again.
