Cant open RAW in CS6 (mac)

[PandaMan]

So i recently bought a macbook pro, took a couple shots in RAW and uploaded them through iphoto, when i go to photoshop(cs6) i am unable to open any of the files, is there a step that i am missing or something? Any and all help would be great thank you!

Are you shooting with a model of camera that was released after CS6? If so, you probably need to download an updated .8BI file from Adobe.com.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Canon models. But here's a correction: according to this page, you don't need to download the file like suggested but would need to update using the update mechanism on CS6 instead.

The T2i has been out for a few years now. I can't believe the version of ACR in CS6 can't open the files. Perhaps bringing them in through iPhoto did something. I've never used iPhoto - I use the Canon software that came with my camera to upload images, which is the best suggestion I have. In fact, you should have a version of DPP on the disk, which will convert raw files.

You need to open in Adobe Bridge

PandaMan; even a "brand new" version of iPhoto might need an update. Or the PS might need an update.

FWIW: I have stopped using iPhoto entirely.

Not sure how to do it through adobe bridge, i think the canon software will probably be my best bet.

Sorry, none of the Adobe products are compatible with your new Macbook Pro. I am afraid you are going to have to send it my way and go back to a desktop. Just kidding. There should be a CS6 update available that will solve this issue for you. P.S. Take advantage of Adobe bridge. It is a powerful tool.

Did you pick your camera? I had to pick mine from a list then it worked.

Updates won't be available if your CS 6 is not registered with Adobe.

FWIW, pirated copies of Adobe software also cannot be updated.
