Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Lightroom won't read SONY RAW files

I've upgraded to 1.2, installed it once and then again to see if I could repair the problem. I am shooting a SONY A700 and Lightroom won't recognize my RAW files on the card or when I copy them to my hard drive. LR does see jpegs on the card when I shoot them, and yes I have checked the box that says to treat RAW and jpegs as separate files.
If I put only jpegs on the card it reads them, if I only put RAW files on it says no images on card.
Any suggestions?

To be honest I have not tried looking at my older MRW files as I have not used my 7D in awhile. I will look tonight to see if I can read them in LR, but I'm not qualified to speak on whether the information LR is reading is correct or detailed enough. I'll just see if I can edit them to my satisfaction. I don't get into the mechanics other than to do what I need to improve my photos.
My original problem was getting the Adobe downloader to bring in ARW files, but now I just pull them off the disk and have disabled the downloader, which works fine for ARW.
Just read the previous question and see it was answered on MRW files. I have been editing ARW raw in lightroom and it seems to work with all functionality. I think the program is indispensible to my A700 and they work wonderfully together.

Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:

I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

Add ability for Lightroom to open a RAW file in Photoshop

Currently, one cannot open RAW files in Photoshop from Lightroom. I realize that there are many of the same ACR 4.1 features in LR, but sometimes I just want to the open the RAW file directly in Photoshop.

I agree with this feature request.
I have lightroom and PS Extended. Lightroom is perfect for browsing and searching through my RAW images (much better than Bridge I find), and many times I will process the RAW in lightroom and then send the TIFF to Photoshop for further editing.
HOWEVER, ;O) Photoshop extended has far more RAW capability. Sometimes I look at a RAW in lightroom and would like to send that straight to PS Extended to process the RAW with the extra features. At the moment, I have to manually open photoshop, search for the photo (which is a long time consumer when I already found it in Lightroom) and then process.
This would be a very handy feature.
It would also work perfectly with a similar extra feature to export RAW to a 3rd party program. Sometimes, after browsing photos in lightroom, I would like to send the RAW straight to Photomatix, an HDR software for tone mapping. It only works with RAW for tone mapping, but Lightroom only allows you to send a TIFF/JPG to an external program.
These simple features would really really speed up my work flow.

Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge. Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed. Help!!

I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing. Then when I click to open them I get a message that says: "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates" "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111". I can't seem to figure out what to do! Help Please!?

Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:

How do I open my raw files in Photoshop that have been shot with a Nikon D1700?

I can't open my raw images in Photoshop, I have updated Photoshop but it is still coming up with ...' Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information'. The photos have been taken with a Nikon D1700

It means that you'll either have to use the Adobe DNG converter and convert your RAW files to DNG first, or upgrade to CS6, or use Lightroom to export (TIFF) to Photoshop.
I used the DNG converter for years before finally upgrading Photoshop. It was an extra step, but it just became part of my workflow - put card into reader, download RAW files, go grab a beer, batch convert to DNG, drink beer, edit in Photoshop. But had I known about how powerful Lightroom was I would have switched over to LR long before and just used that to export to Photoshop when necessary.

Camera raw doesn't open when opening a raw file in photoshop

I have a mac mini and am using the latest version of lightroom and have an EOS70d. The problem I experience is that when I open a raw file from lightroom it goes directly into photoshop without launching the camera raw plugin and when I manually launch the camera raw plugin from within photoshop, i do not see the details from the metadata in the image, such as colour temperature etc and there is no blue link at the bottom of the screen. I have tried the version of camera raw included in photoshop asnd the latest beta version, it's the same in both and also the same on my windows machine. I have also tried with raw images from my other cameras including ones taken a long time ago and that have previously opened in camera raw and they don't. Please help

As I said, read my post "Send me both ses files (no media) via my aatranslator dot com dot au web site". I made no mention of saving "frozen track SES files without any media".
I understand your frustration but I only made an offer to assist.
Now if you want me to have a look at your ses file to see if I can work out what is going on then send it to me without sending any of the media associated with it.
If not I'm happy either way.
BTW
The idea of sending 2 ses files is to compare the one which can't find the frozen track with one that has just been saved and apparently includes the frozen track.

Cant open nef raw file in photoshop elements 9?

i have photoshop elemets 9
i have a nikon d5200
and i have problems opening nef raw file. this is the message i get.
i have tried all updating procedures.useless.i am upto date.i opened file as a raw nef file and i get this message:

For the D5200 you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 I have Photoshop CS5. How do I open its RAW files?

Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

Photoshop CS5 won't open my RAW files???

Hi there.
I recently bought a Canon EOS 70 D for university and am taking new photos for school with my RAW capabilities. Every time I try to open them in Photoshop I get the error message "adobe photoshop could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw"
I updated photoshop and camera raw and I did check that my camera is on the list of supported cameras. I don't understand what else to do.

Support for that camera was added in Camera Raw 8.2: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
However, CS5 cannot be updated beyond 6.7: Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
