Help I can't open raw files in lightroom

For some reason every time I try to import files that are RAW it states my files are not there or corrupted.  I have them in a file on my computer hard drive and on an external hard drive.  I don't know what do do.  any import would be helpful

Camera? How are you importing them (i.e., what options)? What is the exact message you are getting? What version of the product are you using?
Can any other application open these files up?

  • Help! Can't open Raw files in lightroom 2!

    I have been editing my raw files in Adobe bridge but I just purchased  Lightroom 2 and would like to start to use it but I can't! I go to import my raw files and by they end, it says my files were not the right type or corrupted but I can see them in Bridge. Does anyone know if there is a plugin or something for lightroom 2  that I'm obviously missing to fix this? THANKS so much to however has the answer.

    Glad you solved it for yourself. Sometimes hitting it also helps
    Might it be that they were sRAW or mRAW, and now you're importing full size RAWs?

  • Help I can't open raw files in lightroom-tearing my hair out....

    That is lightroom 2 I have that info may be helpful.  

    I'm afraid you'll have to give us more information.  What version of Lightroom 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.7?  And, what camera are you using?  Have you checked it your camera is on the supported list for the version that you are running?  What operating system are you using?

  • Help!  Can't open Raw files

    Hello all, Not exactly an expert here but I am trying to follow the instructions. I have cs2 and trying to open raw files. I have downloaded the update, as instructed, unzipped and placed in the file, again, as instructed. CS2 STILL says 'can not open as is the wrong type of file'. I really want to get the grips with raw but can't even get past the first step.
    Thanks,
    Lucy

    Are you sure you have installed the correct version. The CS3 version of ACR does not work with CS2.
    This is the link to the last version that was created for CS2
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3587
    It should be installed in this folder on a standard windows installation.
    Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
    If you already have the right file in the right place, it might mean your camera came is relatively new. Adobe stopped updating ACR for CS2 when CS3 came out. IF your camera came out after that then ACR for CS2 wont open it.
    You could use the Adobe DNG converter or get a third party RAW Converter. Some of the newer versions of Elements also support the new version of ACR

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5. What is the fix for this?

    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.

  • 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:

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