Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

Can't open raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

I've just finished doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 SP1 onto my desktop PC. I installed Photoshop Elements 9 but it can't open any raw images (specifically Canon .CR2). When I open one of the same images with Photoshop CS5.1, it properly opens up the image in Camera Raw (6.6), allows me to pre-process the image, then edits it in Photoshop (as you would expect).
Before installing Photoshop, I did manually install Adobe Camera Raw 6.2, then upgrade it (multiple steps) up to the current v6.6.
I also copied the Camera Raw.8bi into the Plug-Ins\File Formats sub-directory of both C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 but there was no change of behavior with Photoshop Elements 9.
This was working prior to the re-install of Windows 7.
Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thank you, in advance.

When I to to Help>Update, it offers to update Photoshop Elements to v9.0.3 but no mention is made of Camera Raw (any version). I'm not even sure how to determine what version it thinks is installed since there's no reference to Adobe Camera Raw in the Windows 7 Programs and Feature Control Panel applet.
Suggestions?

Open Raw image in Photoshop Elements 6 from I Photo 09 plug in procedure

I am currently importing my photos into IPhoto 09 and editing in Elements 6. I now want to start using raw format but need the procedure for the plug in. I believe I have to manually copy the plug in in the root library but can't find the instructions. Can someone help?

I found the instructions I was looking for on the internet, see below. I downloaded the Raw Plug In for my Camera 4.4.1 followed the instructions below and now when I pick edit in IPhoto09 it opens the Elements Raw Converter. You are correct though, when I finish with converter and open elements for additional editing and save as JPEG it doesn't seem to go into IPhoto like the JPEG files I edit in Elements do.
You can download the latest versions of ACR from the Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=macintos h) downloads site.
We have an article on ACR in the next issue of the Photoshop Elements Techniques newsletter, but here's the simple instructions for installing an ACR update on the Mac:
If Elements is running, close it.
Open your mac’s hard drive by double-clicking on its icon.
If you are running Elements 6, open the folder Library/Application support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats.
In the File Formats folder, find the file called Camera Raw.8bi and move it to a folder on your desktop (or another, different location you will be able to find easily). This will serve as a backup in case there’s a problem with the installation. I usually make a folder on my desktop and name it old ACR.
Open the unzipped folder you downloaded and copy the new Camera Raw.8bi file into the File Formats folder that contained the old version (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats). After it is copied, you can close that folder.
Launch Photoshop Elements again, and you should be ready to go.

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.0 get an error message. I installed the camera raw update 4.2 but that didn't work. Any suggestions.

Hi,
Elements version 5 was made obsolete by Elements 6 back in 2007. The T3i was only released 2-3 years ago. Adobe was up to Elements version 9 or 10 by then. Every camera has its own particular camera raw software, and Adobe has to write an update for the software to work with each new camera's RAW files. And Adobe stops updating the old versions to work with new cameras when the next version of Elements/Lightroom come out.
I had to buy Lightroom 4 only 6 months after I had bought Lightroom 3 when I bought a new camera. The older version would not, and never will, work with the RAW files from my 6D.
You could, I believe, use DPP to convert the RAW files before exporting them into Elements 5, but personally I would just take this as a cue that it is time to get Elements 11. Or Lightroom 5. I personally prefer Lightroom.

How do I download raw images into photoshop elements 11.

I am having difficulty downloading my raw images to photoshop elements 11. Files are currently on a thumb drive, but I don't know how to download to elements. I have the thumb drive plugged in --- not sure where to go from here. I have verified that I have the plug in - version 7.1.0.354.
Any ideas?

You can either drag them in Organizer workspace or import the folder. Or you can also use Adobe Photo Downloader. There are many options listed here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

Olympus E500 RAW Image in Photoshop Elements 4.0

I am trying to find out if anyone has worked with the Olympus RAW Image (.orf) in Photoshop Elements. I downloaded the plug-in from the Olympus America site and installed it into Elements. Although the plug-in said that it was for Photoshop 5.0 or higher it loaded fine. However, when I open an image in Elements the interface is very basic and does not look at all like the Elements 4.0 interface. Thus I am wondering if anyone else has tried to use the Olympus RAW image with Photoshop and found a better plug in?
Alternatively is someone can give me some other input on how to edit these photos I would be appreciative.

You want to ditch that Olympus plug-in - i.e., take it out of the plug-ins
folder in Elements - and make sure you have the version of Adobe Camera Raw
which covers your camera. Once you find that, install it in place of the
one that shipped with Elements (probably 2.4) and your images ought to open
directly into ACR.

Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images. I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw. I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw". I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images. HELP!! Regular Support is down for the next few days.

If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
Or use the Updater from PS help.

Opening raw images in PHotoshop CS4 extended

I appologize in advance for this DILETTANTE question. I was happily using Lightroom II until recently when I decided, like an idiot, to buy Adobe Design Suite, which includes Photoshop Cs4 Extended.
I am unable to open raw images, I get "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.". The camera I use right now is Canon 5D Mark II. Lightroom does not have any problem either importing the raw images from the card or importing them from my hard disk, if I had already copied them there from the camera card.
Could anybody help me?

For that camera you need the ACR plug-in version 5.2 or higher; you probably still have 5.0 from the installation of the software.
Check in PS Help > About Plug-in...
For 5.5 for Mac look here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4577
For 5.5 for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4578

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.

Cant import NEF RAW images into Photoshop Elements 9.

before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
i took the images with the Nikon D3200 i NEF RAW format.
but photoshop kept on saying that the format was not supported, i was opening them up through FILE, OPEN, then i was browsing for the photos, but it would keep ion saying that the file was not supported.
but then i saw some where that you ha to open the image up through OPEN AS, so i did it that way, and for a moment it looked like it was working but then photoshop elements 9 crashed and it said it couldnt open up the image due to problem, can someone help me.
for the time being i will just use the JPEG images because i took and NEF RAW image and a JPEG image at the same time, which later on i will just replace the image with the NEF RAW image when i get it to work.
but until then cam some one help me try to get it to work, thank you.

before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
The problem is that PSE9 will not support the version of camera raw that is needed for D3200 RAW files.
To make use of these D3200 RAW files, you need to download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.2) and then use that software to convert the RAW to DNG.
Alternatively, you could purchase PSE 12, and then your D3200 RAW files will open properly without need for a converter.

Trying to Open Raw file in Photoshop Elements 4

Does anybody have any ideas how I can open a RAW file from a cannon G10 camera in Photoshop elements 4.0? The file is coming out of the camera as *.CR2. I am working on a MAC with OS 10.5.7.
When I try to open a CR2 file in PE 4.0 it says it can not complete my request because photoshop elements does not recognize this file type.
I have also tried to run the file through the dng converter version 5.3 and when I try to open it with PE 4.0 it gives the same message above.
Any ideas of how to get this open and take advantage of the RAW format would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

There is no PSE 7 for mac. However, you may be able to find a version of the Adobe raw converter that will work in PSE 4 that will open your G10 files. I would start with the latest version (5.3) and keep working backwards till you find the latest version that will work in PSE 4. Camera raw updates for PSE mac are here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
although the recent updates are listed for PSE 6 only, it's often possible with PSE to use updates that are supposedly too recent for your version of PSE, especially with PSE/Mac.

Raw images in Photoshop Elements 12

I connected the camera to my Mac Book Air to download my latest photos using a Nikon D3300. Went to open a raw photo in my adobe photoshop elements 12 and it claims it is unable to read/open the file. I just downloaded and opened other photos a week ago and now it doesn't work. Please help!!

Phew, got that figured out but then it just sits in a little box window that acts as if it is loading info.

How do I open RAW images in Photoshop?

I just purchased a Canon G9 camera with RAW image capability. When I try to open a RAW file in Photoshop (version 8.0) I get an error message: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
Any help will be greatly apprectiated!

Well, you have the old Photoshop CS (8.0), which supports only ACR 2.4. (ACR = Adobe Camera Raw.)
Your camera generates raw files that require ACR 4.3 to open directly in Photoshop. Therefore, you will never be ablo to open the raw files from that camera directly in Photoshop CS (8.0).
You have two choices:
• You can download the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 5.3 and run it to convert your raw files to raw DNG files first, which you can then open in ACR 2.4 hosted by Photoshop CS.
• You can upgrade to CS4 and open your files directly in ACR 5.3 hosted by Photoshop CS4.
