Couldn't open RAW files in Bridge Cs3

Hi,
the RAW files (CR2) cannot be opened/developed with using Bridge CS3. When I double click the file (CR2) in Bridge, it just gave this prompt in Photoshop, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I used to be able to open Raw files in my friend's G5 using Bridge. When I double click the file, it will automatically open the Canon Camera Raw with settings for me to adjust before I develop the picture. However when I tried on my own computer, it came out the prompt I mentioned above.
Please advise what is the problem with my Bridge. Do I need to reintall the whole of Adobe suite?
Thank you so much.

Brian
first check again the right location of (only one!) ACR plug in (see post 3 of this thread for details)
Then quit Bridge, in user library go to preferences and manual trash the plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge2.plist), restart again with option key and again reset prefs.
If this is still not working create a new user account and check if Bridge is working correctly in this new user, if so your user account is corrupt and you should do maintenance for the OS (Archive and install).
If still no luck go again to the user library/cache/Adobe/BridgeCS3/cache. This cache file can grow to the enormous portions, check the size and if you wish make a copy for back up. Then delete this whole cache file by dragging it to the trash. Again delete plist file and again restart option to refresh prefs. By deleting the cache file you will need to recache all your folders so it is a very hard way but it worked for me several times.

  • Opening RAW files with Bridge CS3

    When I try to open a RAW file from Bridge CS3 it defaults to Mac Preview and does not open Photoshop Elements 6 RAW converter.  If I open a RAW file outside of Bridge it work fine.  What did I do wrong??   Using a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop Elements 6 and new Camera RAW plugin for my Panasonic LX3 camera.  hjz62

    Bridge requires the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw to be installed.  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4581 Adobe states that this is the latest version of camera raw compatible with PSE-6 Mac. Others may have additional information.
    As to the issue of defaulting to Apple software, this issue is usually a configuration problem wherein certain file extensions are granted permissin to be summarily opened by a given program. ((Right clicking any given file, then choosing "open with", and selecting a given program  is a work around, but to avoid this step, you need to reconfigure your program settings.)) This is the Windows file path/solution, I am not familiar with Mac. I am confident that the issus is the same

  • Can't open raw files in bridge from canon 70d

    I am a windows user, and I've updated my camera raw to the most current available...6.7. But when trying to open raw files in Bridge it says that my camera model is not supported by the current software. What else should I do?

    Which version of Camera Raw do you use (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw) and which one is needed for that camera?

  • Opening RAW files in Bridge

    According to p. 235 of "Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac", you are supposed to be able to right click on a RAW file in Bridge, and then you will presented with a pop up menu displaying the menu item "Open in Camera Raw".  Clicking on "Open in Camera Raw" in Bridge is supposed to give you access to the full set of ACR features that Photoshop CS4 users enjoy.  On the other hand, using PSE 8 to open RAW files results in a stripped down set of features in ACR.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to open NEF files (Nikon's RAW files) in Bridge. When I right click on a NEF file in Bridge, there is no menu item which says "Open in Camera Raw". However, if I right click on a .jpg file in Bridge, then I do see the "Open in Camera Raw" menu item.
    I am able to open NEF files in PSE 8 and edit them with ACR using the stripped down feature set.   My PSE 8 came with ACR 5.5.  I installed ACR 5.6 to see if that would help, but I get the same results.
    osx 10.4.11, PSE 8 for mac, ACR 5.6

    Hmmm. Works for me -- when I right-click on a NEF file in Bridge (or select and then click on the "open in RAW" icon in Bridge's top menu bar), it works fine for me. I see the full-featured ACR. I use ACR 5.6, PSE Mac 8, and OS X 10.6.2.
    When you installed ACR 5.6, you followed the PSE-specific instructions, right? In Preferences, you've got NEF associated with PSE? And you're not trying to mix-and-match Bridge and iPhoto simultaneously?
    So far, the only difference is I'm using Snow Leopard. And i've never installed NX2 et. al. Not that it should matter, but which camera are you using?

  • Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3

    This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
    Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
    When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
    I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
    Please advise.

    It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?

  • Opening RAW files in older CS3

    I have an older version, PS3 Extended.  I have always opened RAW files with no problem.  Recently, a friend with a newer camera and newer version of PS gave me some RAW files to open, and my CS3 says "Could not complete your request because it's the wrong kind of document".  I am wondering if the problem could be that I have an old version of PS?  Thanks.

    That's exactly the problem. It's all in the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
    You need the DNG Converter to open a batch of newer raw files. If you need to do this regularly, you might need to think about upgrading or using Lightroom.

  • Cannot open my G11 raw files in Bridge CS3.

    I just downloaded my G11 raw files onto my computer. Usually, I do a quick glance in Bridge CS3 but they do not open. I do have Photoshop CS4, but that doesn't help me, right? What do I need to do to open these?  I've already updated my Bridge CS3 to 2.1.1.9.
    I am using Mac G5, OS 10.5.x.

    But be aware that CS4 comes with ACR 5.0
    You will need to update it to version 5.6 for the G11.

  • Still cant open RAW file in bridge in CS3

    I am on a g4 powerbook and have both cs3 and cs2 installed on my computer. In cs2 bridge i can double click a raw rile and open it in bridge, and i can also paste my raw adjustments to said file in bridge. I cant do any of this in cs3. i ran the script to delete the beta and tried suggestions in other posts, but no luck. anyone have an idea?

    Have you installed the ACR plug in for CS3 (current ACR 4.4) in the right place according to the install instructions?
    If you look in PSCS 3 in the menu under Photoshop - About Plug ins it should show you Camera Raw with the version number and only one install.

  • Can someone help me open raw files from bridge in CS3?

    MIne used to work and it quit.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and it won't work.  I'm using Windows 7.  Help!  Please!

    Edit:
    Glad to hear you got it working.
    I'll just leave what i had put here anyway.
    You want Program Files (x86)
    That's where the 32 bit programs such as photoshop cs3 are on a windows 7 64 bit system.
    Also, in bridge cs3 under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails ensure Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Jpeg and Tiff files is checked.
    (then restart bridge cs3)

  • Can't access Raw files in Bridge CS3

    I have recently had to purchase a new computer (Acer) and have re installed CS3.  When I open Bridge none of RAW files are showing and bridge doesn't say I can open any images in RAW.  I use windows XP
    I have dowloaded the ACR4.6 from the Adobe and believe I have installed it correctly.
    The Acer machine is a Veriton M670 and has a Intel Core 2 processor.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I assume you mean folder (directory), not "file".
    Make sure that folder is completely out of the way of the path to Photoshop, nowhere near your application directory.  Either put it in your Documents folder or delete it.

  • ACR 4.4.1 does not open TIF file from bridge (CS3)

    Hi,
    I have the preferences in CS3-Bridge and ACR set to open JPG & TIF files in ACR and not CS3 but when I click on a TIF file in bridge it opens in PS CS3 instead. These TIF files were generated by a GUI interface for ENFUSE which is an algorythm that combines bracketed RAW or JPG exposures for expanded dynamic range... it works very well ad outputs to TIF... but I can't seem to open these TIFs in ACR. Isn't a TIF a TIF?
    Is there a way to force ACR to open these?

    There are many varieties of TIF files (including b/w fax images).
    I have no idea if this will work, but you could try opening one of the files in Photoshop, saving as a TIF from Photoshop, and then see if that new TIF file will open in ACR. At least it should let you know of opening of TIF/JPG files in Camera Raw is working correctly.

  • Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"

    I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
    I use a Mac OS X laptop
    I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
    I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
    I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
    PLEASE HELP!

    >I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
    Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
    That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
    This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
    Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
    Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
             Drains the camera battery
             Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
             Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
             Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

  • How to open RAW files in photoshop cs3

    Three years ago I purchased a Nikon 7000 and the cs3 will not open the Raw files  

    That would require ACR 6.3 which shipped with Photoshop CS5. Your best bet is to convert your Raw files to dng format  and then they should open in CS3.
    Get the latest DNG converter here:

  • Suddenly Can't Open RAW files in Photoshop CS3!

    I have never had troubles with photoshop before, but since I installed windows 7 and reinstalled CS3, Photoshop is no longer able to open camera raw files! When I attempt to open one a window pops up stating: Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document. What on earth is going on?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Thats Correct. First check if there are two versions or not if there is, then it would be better to delete them and re-download it from this link
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4038&fileID=3755
    After the download unzip the files and then copy the Camera raw.8bi in this location
    >>> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
    PS ::  Use Program Files and Program Files(X86) according to your computer.

  • Opening raw files in photoshop cs3

    can anyone help please, can i open raw image files in cs3? do i need a plug in or a download? 

    You need Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).  Go to the download page and download the last vesion for CS3, believe it was 4.6. 
    Be aware that each version of Photoshop has its own series of ACR. 
    So if you have a latter model camera it might not work with an older ACR.  To check look here  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
