Having problems opening a photo in camera raw for editing

Has anyone had problems getting a photo to open in camera raw for editing?
I open a photo and go to edit, then click on full edit, then go to file and click on open as. I then go to the pop-up menu and click on camera raw.
When I click on open, the photo should open in camera raw so I can edit it but nothing happens. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? This progrem has little value if I cant edit my photos. Thanks for your imput.

Hi rlb
Check your plug-in is up to date for your Camera and model. The latest Adobe CAMERA RAW PLUG-IN IS 6.3 (for PSE9)
Open Full Edit and click Help >>About Plug-in >>Camera Raw
Otherwise click Help >>Updates and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Photoshop on start or opening a photo in camera raw puts computer in Restart mode.

When I start my computer and try to open Photoshop or open a photo in camera raw the computer some of the time will go into restart mode and again and again. I have removed all of Photoshop CC2014 and reloaded from adobe and have the same problem. Any ideas as to what might be happening?

Quite likely the problem is not Photoshop as an application like that should not be able to crash/restart your OS.

I lose changes in the details when i open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?

I lose changes that I made with the tools in the "Details" section, just right after I open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why? The changes that I made with the tools in the "Basic" section remain.

First, how and why are you using Camera Raw 7.0 with CS5?
ACR 7.x requires CS6 to run.
Even if that's a typo in your post and you are running CS6 instead of CS5, no one should be running ACR 7.0, but ACR 8.4 —or at the very least 7.4.
Once any given camera model is supported by a version of ACR, it will continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR. Each update to ACR has unannounced, unheralded bug fixes and improvements. Running 7.0 at this point is sheer madness.
Please clarify.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Try to open multipul photos in Camera raw

When I try to open multipul raw photos from cs6 mini bridge, after selecting them, none open up. If I do one it works fine. I also tried the review mode and only one opens...

After you select the thumbnails in mini bridge right click on one of the selected thumbnails select Open with>Default Application ACR should open then. Or double click on one of the selected thumbnails and ACR should open.

Opening photo in camera raw using cs5 and photo has lots of red and blue in the image?

I am trying to open a photo in camera raw and the image always has a lot of red and blue in the picture? What can I do to avoid this. When I first started learning photoshop this did not happen?
Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you'd post a screen grab showing the problem. I honestly can't tell from what you're writing whether you're seeing a bug or maybe you've saved some oddball Camera Raw Defaults.
Considering it could be the latter, have you considered setting the image development settings for that image to defaults, or even Resetting the Camera Raw Defaults (which will affect all images in the future)?

Problem with exposure adjustment in Camera Raw

I'm a long time Photoshop user, currently on CS6. Recently I've been having problems with adjusting exposure in Camera Raw. For some reason, it now only works in full stops. Nothing in between works. Same problem with the adjustment brush.
I updated today to the latest version but the problem remains. All other adjustments are working as they should.
Can anyone explain what happened and how I can get back full funcionality?

I have found an acceptable solution to the issue (already posted in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5920583#5920583 ) after invaluable tips from forum members.
The problems are indeed caused by the Nik plug-ins, and specifically by the Selective Tool plug-in. But you don't need to uninstall anything.
Solution: In your applications folder, choose Photoshop/Plug-ins/Google and you will find the various Nik plug-in folders. Add a tilde sign to the Selective Tool folder (like this: ~Selective Tool). Close Photoshop and open it again. Camera Raw should now be working without issues. The Nik plug-ins will lose some funcionality, but nothing really serious. You will have to manually duplicate a layer before using a Nik filter and the filters won't work with multi-layers. If you desperately need full funcionality, close PS, remove the tilde sign and open PS again.

DNG Converter/ Camera Raw for CS3 (D3000)

1. I have a Nikon D3000
2. I have CS3
3. I took 3 graduation pictures and set of engagement pics in RAW
4. I am trying to convert them so I can open them up in CS3 because naturally Raw files cannot open up in CS3. I downloaded MULTIPLE DNG convertors. From recent to not so recent. On all of them I am able to see the menu....but right when i click select files ALL of my .nef pics are grey and unclickable.
PLEASE HELP ME. I am miserable using other peoples computer.
SIDENOTE: I tried to also put camera raw on CS3 . I put the correct version for my camera and it still didn't work. My main goal is to use Camera Raw for editing.
once again...please help

To add to what Noel has said...
The DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run off Start -> All Programs -> Adobe -> DNG Converter.
The DNG Converter operates on entire folders at once so there are no thumbnails involved.
Once you have converted all the NEFs to DNGs in a particular folder using the DNG Converter, you could still have problem seeing the NEFs if your camera RAW is too new, as it sounds like you might have done.
To fix this, please re-install (manually copy?) the Camera RAW plug-in back to the highest version number that is compatible with CS3, which would be 4.6:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
Check to see what version of Camera RAW you have by going into Photoshop and choosing Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera RAW (and make sure there is only one instances of Camera RAW listed).
Unless you update to CS4 or CS5 that can work with the NEFs, directly, when viewing the folder in Bridge, you will always see gray NEF icons for the original RAW files, but you should see thumbnails for the DNGs you've converted.
If might be good that when you convert NEFs to DNGs that you put the DNGs into a subfolder of the NEFs, so you don't have half your thumbnails being gray NEFs.

Problem opening photos with camera raw 7.1 with Photoshop CS6

I am using Windows 7 32 bit system with 4GB ram and graphics accelerator.
I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed in the same system at it works perfectly.
What happens is when I use the B+W function, I get an error message saying that I have not enough ram.
After that, when I open the next photo with Camera Raw, the raw image will not open.
I have already maximised the Ram that Photoshop can use to 1.7GB and there is more than enough space in my scratch disk.
Anyone can tell me what the problem is?

Hi Noel,
Thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify.
I applied B+W layer adjustment on my photos. It is part of an automated set of actions which I apply to all my photos. I adjust the B&W layer to 50% overlay. When I click on the B&W adjustment layer, there is an error message that tells me I have not enough ram. Once that happens, when I open the next photo in raw, I don't see the new photo but only the frame of the camera raw though which I see my photoshop desktop.
It doesn't occur with the first few photos. But by the 3rd or 4th it happens.
I will adjust it to 50% and see what happens.

Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open with Photoshop Elements11 Camera RAW.

RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open in Camera RAS with Photoshop Elements 11. This has not been a problem with previous Nikon cameras. I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5. How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

Aside from upgrading to pse 13, you can use the 8.7.1 adobe dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 11 should then open.

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7
