1. Re: LR2 wont read my raw files
99jon Jul 9, 2010 1:22 PM (in response to rkmjcha)Make sure you have the correct version of Adobe camera raw particularly if your camera is a newish model.
On the top menu click Help > About Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2
The latest program will show: Version 3.0 and Camera raw 6.1
You will probably have version 2.7 and camera raw 5.7
Also check your PC to establish if there is any difference.
If you need an update go to Adobe Labs to get a download,

b_gossweiler Jul 9, 2010 2:41 PM (in response to rkmjcha)Have you tried copying the photos from the card to local HDD with finder/explorer and import them from there? Could it be that some images are RAW, and others are sRAW/mRAW?

Just to clarify, you don't need to coordinate your version of Lightroom with ANY version of Adobe Camera Raw. Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. If you installed Lightroom 2 from the disk then you have version 2.0. You need to download and install 2.7, and that will give you the last revision of Lightroom 2. The latest version of Lightroom always coincides with the latest version of Camera Raw because they both use the same core technology.

Keith_Reeder Jul 10, 2010 3:33 AM (in response to rkmjcha)Which Lr version are you using? There are a few 2.x versions.
And yes, to reiterate, the ACR version you have installed is irrelevant to what Lr can and can't do.

b_gossweiler Jul 10, 2010 3:58 AM (in response to rkmjcha)I'm not sure what LR version you're working with, I guess it's 2.7. I'm also not sure about LR2.7 (or Camera Raw 5.7 which is the same basics) being able to render 7D mRAW.
What you can try is download the Adobe DNG Converter 6.1 (which relates to what's in LR3) from here (see "Downloads" to the right), convert your mRAWs into DNG and import the DNGs into LR2.

Yep, that's why I'm asking: 2.7 might support 7D mRAWs (it does support the 7D), but anything prior to that is a no-go.

Unfortunately ACR/LR readme's don't mention anything about mRAWs/sRAWs for the 7D, but I have something in the back of my mind that only LR3 (or ACR 6.1) have full support.
rkmjcha: If you can post a link to a mRAW file here (e.g. via www.yousendit.com), I can have a look at it as I have 2.7 and 3.0 installed.
