Camera Raw Plugin "Not Recognized File Type"

It was suggested that I post this here...
I'm trying to install the camera  raw update for the Canon Rebel XS in CS4.
I downloaded the newest RAW update,  and the files still didn't work, and then when I went back and  downloaded the camera-specific update, I get a plugin and photoshop says  that "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
Any ideas?

You should always run the latest version of the Adobe Camera Raw for the particular version of Photoshop you are using.
In your case that means ACR 5.7, which is the last to run with CS4.
There's no such thing as a "camera specific version" of Camera Raw.  Once a camera is supported by a specific version of ACR, it will always continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR.  You need to run the latest version because each update contains unannounced enhancements and bug fixes.
There will not be any further updates of ACR for CS4, so you must use ACR 5.7.
Note that ACR 6.1 will not work with CS4.  The 6.x series of ACR requires CS5.
The error message you describe—"Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"—is returned by Photoshop when you attempt to open the plug-in by double-clicking on it instead of installing it.  It is NOT meant to be opened, it's meant to be installed in a specific folder.  Read the instructions.  As a matter of fact, try updating through the auto updater in the Help menu of Photoshop or Bridge:  Help > Updates…
Only if that doesn't work should you perform a manual installation of ACR according to the instructions.

  • Camera-raw plugin for NEF files, made with the new Nikon D7200

    Hi, does anyone know when there will be a camera-raw plugin for NEF files made with the new Nikon D7200?

    I think that camera is too new. Even the DNG converter will not support it. If you have Nikon software with the camera, you could convert to tiff and then use the tiff files in Elements whilst awaiting the next Camera Raw update for PSE13.

  • Cs6 raw plugin not recognizing lumix g5 raw files

    I just installed cs6 on my computer which is not connected to the internet. The camera raw plugin does not recognize my lumix G5 camera raw files. I tried downloading and installing what i think is the most recent raw plugin, but it still does not recognize the file format. I have installed the dng converter which does recognize these files but that's a clunky work-around. Any ideas on what I should try next?orwhere i can find the most recent raw plugin for cs6?
    Best, David.

  • Camera Raw Plugin not working

    Photoshope CS4 won't open camera raw files from my new camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark II).  I've downloaded what should be the correct camera raw plugin update and installed it (5.2) but Photoshop still won't open the files.  Any help out there??  Many many thanks for your time in answering this.  Inga

    Ingadavida,
    You need to look for and download the Camera Raw 5.7 update and then install it manually following the instructions on the download page very, very carefully.
    While the auto update function seems much improved in CS5 and higher, the Adobe Auto Updater in CS4 (and lower) is totally unreliable, almost always broken in one day or another.  Still stuck in the dark ages.
    Here's the link for the download page for the Mac version of ACR 5.7:

  • Camera raw does not recognize raw files from new camera

    Tried downloading and installing Bridge update, to no effect. Working with Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.4. Adobe Bridge version 4.0.5.11. Camera is Fujifilm X-E2, and is mentioned in the Camera Raw list as a file type Camera Raw should recognize.

    You're wrong, reno1950.
    That camera was first supported by ACR 8.3, which needs at least Photoshop CS6 to run.
    Since you say you're on Bridge 4.0.5.11, you must be on Photoshop CS5.
    You have two choices:  either upgrade to CS6 for $200, or look for, download, install and run the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 on the folder(s) containing the raw files from your Fuji camera to raw DNGs that you can then open in your version of Adobe Camera Raw.
    Note that neither Bridge nor Photoshop can open raw files nor raw DNGs, only Adobe Camera Raw can.

    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

    What kind of TIFFs?  Are they multi-layered, for instance?  ACR will not open layered files.

  • I need a camera raw plugin for sony raw files

    Hello there,  I got a new Sony A99 camera and I need a Camera Raw update for Adobe Bridge CS5.  I can see my old Sony files from my A580 but the new once are not showing up.  Where can I get an update for my CS5 bridge software?
    Thanks
    Fred

    Which operating system are you using?
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
    (version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
    If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
    Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

  • Camera raw plugin for photoshop 5.5 (windows) not updating

    Hi, I'm trying to update the camera raw plugin (min 8.2) in photoshop 5.5 for windows. I downloaded, ran, installed camera raw plugin 8.6 and rebooted. The installation wizard shows as installed but when I open photoshop it still has camera raw 6.7.0.339. Please help!! (The dng converter works but the camera raw plugin has not been updated)

    That may be because the latest version of ACR that works with CS5 is ACR 6.7

    You can install ACR 8.7.1 in CS6 to get new Camera support without ACR new features

  • Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new  Canon Sureshot S95

    Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Adobe, please can you provide an update asap

    Hello!
    I think that you need to be patient.
    There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
    I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
    Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
    Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera

  • Camera Raw does not read previously saved XMP files (Canon 60D)

    Hi,
    I want to ask if it is a real problem or just me doing something wrong.
    I open RAW files made with Canon 60D (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6), then I do what a do (cropping, exposure changes, sharpen ... etc.), then I click the Done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files along with the RAW files. After this I want to do some more editing, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW does not "remember" what it did just minutes before. I suppose that it is not reading the XMP files that it created.
    So is it me or it is some kind of bug?
    I don't have this problem when editing RAW files made with Canon 400D.
    Thanks for your time!

    If I understand correctly the issue is not viewing in Bridge, but rather that ACR doesn't remember the changes.
    There is a discussion in the Camera Raw forum about this issue of not always reading the changes after clicking Done in ACR.
    But no solution.

    Yes, ACR doesn't remember/show the changes I made.
    It seems that I have the same problem as the other forum member from the link. I tried to recreate the issue, but this time all went well and ACR displayed the changes I made ...
    It is strange because I had the issue numerous times on two different windows PC's ...

  • Camera Raw Plugin PSE6 MAC Not Working

    I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw Plugin for a MAC - for Photoshop Elements 6. I followed the instructions included in the readme file, copied the Camera Raw Plugin file to where the instructions said to but it doesn't work.  From Bridge, from the "file" dropdown menu, instead of an option to open in Camera Raw, it says "Check Plugin".  Since Camera Raw Version 5.3 didn't work, I deleted it and downloaded an earlier version (4.6) installed it as per the instructions but I still can't open a photo in Camera Raw. It still says to "Check Plugin".  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Gilda

    Gilda:
    Here is where I copied the Camera Raw Plugin file - Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
    Barbara, I don't know the first thing about this, but I do remember (when looking for something else) reading
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407456.html
    which says that the latest plug-in should be put in the ../Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/ folder and the
    equivalent Bridge folder.
    As I say, I've no idea whether this has any bearing on Gilda's problem.

  • Camera raw is not working on my NEF files D600

    camera raw is not working on my NEF files D600.. I ALREADY TRIED all of the updates ( first 7.3, 7.4 even the 8.1) i have the photoshop cs6 and im not finding a way to make it read my files!!! even the DMG converter its not reading them!!

    It might be the way you are downloading them. I believe that Nikon Transfer has been updated to overcome a corruption bug which affects Adobe products.
    If you are using Nikon Transfer, it might be worth updating to the latest version, and downloading your photos again. Or use Adobe Photodownloader instead (I would).
    Also, accepted wisdom is to download photos off the memory card using a card reader, rather than via the camera USB, as it is less prone to problems. YMMV.
