alex_p._schorsch Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I am having a hard time. I have several hundreds of photos on file and with backup on CD's which I can't open. I am using Photoshop CS. The files in the arquives are labeled as IMG_4996, IMG_4997, IMG4998, etc. In properties they say it is a CR2 File. When I open the file I get a message in Photoshop which reads: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. I thought the files on my computer might have been corrupted so I checked my backup and am getting the same kind of message frome the backup files as well on two different computers. I know I opened these files in the past with no hassle. Could it be that the photoshop software needs to be reinstalled. These files are from D60 and 20D Canon cameras. Thanks to anyone who could shine some light on this problem. Cheers, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_cooper Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Alex, the files you listed: IMG_4996, IMG_4997, IMG4998, etc. don't have an extension. ie: IMG_4996.jpg (or however Canon labels their RAW images). Have you tried renaming them to the original file type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricklavoie Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I thnik you screw up in the renaming process...add .tif or jpg at the end, assuming that they are tif or jpg! but for sure its a extension problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_p._schorsch Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I just did everything automatically. Opened them up with Photoshop and then saved them. I didn't realize that I had to rename every friggin' photograph. They are RAW images and I originally opened them up with Photoshop CS. Before the Camera Raw Palette just opened up automatically. We are the computer's slaves. I have to submit some photos for a magazine and I have been hung up for two days. Thank God for Photo.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constance_cook Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 When you call up the file, in the box below change the file type. They open the file in PS. Conni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_p._schorsch Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I solved the problem myself. Here is what had happened: My computer crashed and I had to reinstall all of my software. I reinstalled Photoshop but I didn't remember that I had previously downloaded a new upgrade from the Adobe site so that I could use 20D images. Obviously the software I loaded was the old version. I just downloaded the upgrade again from the Adobe site and I'm back and running again. it helps to use the old noodle sometimes. Thanks to everyone. No Sherlock Holmeses available at the time it seems but thanks to everyone anyways. Yours sincerely, An extremely pacified recuperated freaked out photographer.
