Can't open RAW files

  I’ve had Photoshop CS3 for Windows for several years.  I recently bought a Sony DSC-RX100 and  just shot raw (ARW) for the first time and cannot figure out how to open the files in Photoshop.
When I try to open a file in Photoshop CS3, the error message says "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." When I go to Photoshop help, it says “Select one or more raw files in Bridge and then choose file>open in camera raw.”
When I open Bridge, and go to File> Open in camera raw is grayed out and not live. If I select one or more files, same thing, Open in camera raw is grayed out.
When I go to Help in Adobe Bridge, it says I need to “Select Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge General preferences to open camera raw files in the Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge.” But when I go to Edit Preferences General, I don’t see where to do that. Similarly, when I go to Edit Camera Raw Preferences, I again do not see where to select that.
I’m out of ideas! Can anyone help?
It says this application requires Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Core 2 compatible processor. I have Intel Core i5.  Could that be the problem? My computer is several years newer than my Photoshop.
Thanks!

Just dismiss the dialog that says that stuff about the application requirements.
It must be a glitch in bridge cs3 and shouldn't cause any problems.
I think you can just click Don't Show Again.
As far as your camera, the Sony RX 100, photoshop cs3 won't be able to open those files directly since photoshop cs3/bridge cs3 can only be updated to camera raw 4.6 and the camera requires at least camera raw 7.2.

So what you can do is use the 8.6 Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RX 100 files to dng copies, which then cs3 should open.
(if you have windows xp or vista, then use the 8.3 dng converter)

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't open raw files in 32 bit CS4

    Am using Vista 64 bit OS and because I recently purchased Nik Software's Complete Ed was necessary to change from initial set up of PS CS4 64 bit to 32 for their usage compatability. Had Camera Raw 5.0 on 64 bit version, copied camera raw 8bi plug in file format and placed in correct file format folder for the 32 bit version of PS. ...sounds easy enough...but when I attempt to open a raw file in PS or bridge it will not open and get message - Could not complete your request because of a program error.  Camera raw does show up and only once under the About Plug In submenu. Have tried Purge Cache option. Can still open raw files as always in 64 bit version, save and reopen 32bit version to continue but hoping for solution to eleminate that hassle. Thanks for your needed advice!  

    Plugin's have to be rewritten for a 64-bit environment so copying the 64-bit ACR to the 32-bit folder won't work.  You need the 32-bit version of ACR in the 32-bit CS4 folder.
    I'm not sure if the ACR 5.6 updater will work to update both versions, or if you need to download and install the plugin's manually. 
    You can get to the manual install ZIP by following the PSE link near the top of the regular ACR 5.6 page linked on the updates page:

  • Can't open raw files in photoshop ?

    Can't open raw files in CS5.   I have a canon 5D mark 111.  Tried the updates tab to update photoshop but keep getting download errors.  Trying to open up some wedding photos I took in raw format.  Any ideas ?

    You need to update Adobe Camera Raw to 6.7  You can direct download and install it here: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.

    You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

  • I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

    I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
    If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
    Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
    See the following for more info.

  • I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

    I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
    Hope some one can help me.
                                     Robert chen

    The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
    Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
    Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

  • Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D

    Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D with Photoshop Elements 12.  Is there an upgrade / download available.  Current RAW plug in is version 8.0.0.137

    What operating system are you using?
    The newest version of camera raw for pse 12 is version 8.4, which should open the canon 70D files.
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor?

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

  • How can I open RAW files from Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9?

    How can I open RAW files from my Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9

    Three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE11
    2. download the free Adobe DNG Converter and then convert your RAWs to DNG, which will open in PSE9
    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files

    I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files I've shot in LR 3, I read I would be able to in LR 4 or 5. Because my mac is 10.6.8 I prefer to get LR 4 so I don't have to also update my operating system. Will LR 4 open my rw files in Mark3 D5. What about my older files in LR 3 will I loose the catalogs when I do this?

    Thanks John, I ordered the software from Adorama and I'm expecting it today. I did use a DNG converger, I found it kind of slow, maybe thats because of the file size.
    I'm curious to see if the conversion files will look the same as the direct raw files I'm used to seeing in Lightroom. It'll be good to compare. While waiting I looked at the files in Digital Photo Professional and the files looked incredible. I was able to open one at a time in PS but in TIFF format. Not the most practical but impressive. I'm loving the D5 Mark 111
    after one go at it.

  • Nikon D7200 and can not open RAW files.  Error msg says camera isn't supported.  Using PSElements 12

  • Can't open raw files from a supported camera

    Hi.  I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates.  I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model.  It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera.  Any ideas?

    The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
    I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products.  You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
    If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:

    How do I fix this problem? Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5.

    You could try Help > Update, but that was a flakey process in CS5 times.
    It's better to download and instally manually.
