Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize camera raw plugin on yosemite

Hi there,
I've been using Photoshop CS4 with the camera raw plugin for many years without issue. I recently got a new computer with Yosemite and when I installed PsCS4 it no longer worked with RAW files (5D mkii). I just tried downloading the newest version of the camera raw plugin, but Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it. What can I do?

The “latest version of camera raw” would be ACR 8.7.1 and that is only compatible with PS-CS6 or newer.
PS-CS4 would probably install with ACR 5.0 but the 5D Mark II needs at least ACR 5.2.  The latest version of ACR you can install for PS-CS4 is ACR 5.7 which may be what you had on your old computer.
The usual way to update your Camera Raw plug-in would be to do PS / Help / Updates and let it check to see what is available, so try that.
I am not sure if that process still works, but you’re in luck because Adobe was still putting links to their installers on the website back in the CS4 era, so you should be able to download an installer and run it to get ACR 5.7 installed, from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
It’s possible that something in the newest OS will prevent this installer from working, of course, but at least try.
You can check what version of the ACR plug-in you have installed by doing PS / About Plug-in / Camera Raw

  • I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. Plug-in camera raw is missing

    I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. a plug-in camera raw  xx is missing. Advice to update does not work. There is no plug-in in the map photoshop plug-ins.

    This is expected. CS4 will never be able to open files from a current version of LR and a modern camera.

  • Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize RAW-files on MacBook

    I recently installed photoshop CS 4 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Sony alpha 330 camera, and photshop doesn't recognize my RAW-files (ARW)
    What do I have to download to get my photoshop working?

    Are Photoshop and ACR fully updated?
    It seems support for RAW from Sony A330 was added with ACR 5.4.

  • Help! Bridge CS4 doesn't recognize 7D RAW files!

    I just got a new computer, it has Vista on it. I installed my Adobe Photoshop and Bridge (CS4) on the desktop, and it won't read the images from my 7D. I downloaded the ACR and DNG converter 5.6, installed it, restarted my computer, and Bridge still doesn't recognize the RAW files. What else can I do? I need to access them ASAP! Thanks

    Look for and download the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6.  No need to be running such an old obsolete version as you reference.
    The Adobe DNG Converter is a stand-alone application that is in no way tied to your version of Photoshop.  You not only download it and install it, but you also have to launch it separately and run it on each folder containing raw files from your Canon camera.  Note that it will not recognize individual files, only the folder that contains them.
    However, you shouldn't need the DNG Converter it if you update your ACR Plug-in to the latest version, ACR 5.7.
    The Adobe auto updater was and remains utterly unreliable—I'd even say useless—in CS4.  You must locate the ACR update at the Adobe site yourself and apply it manually.
    This is the URL for the Mac update, I don't do windows, so you'll have to search for the Win version yourself:

  • Photoshop CS6 want to find camera raw plugin 8.3 for my nikon d610 can someone help me please...

    I just recently downloaded and installed photoshop cs6 and the highest camera raw update i have is camera raw 7 and my camera (NIKON D610) requires camera raw 8.3 i've updated the camera raw plugin to the highest thats available in the software update but i read that camera raw 8.3 is now available but i can't seem to locate it on the internet or adobe website to upgrade my camera raw plugin to 8.3. can someone please help me and show me where i can find a download link for camera raw 8.3 thank you for taking the time to read this and your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Why not update CS6 to use ACR 8.6? If CS 6 menu Help>Updates does not update ACR to 8.6 try downloading the update manually and inst stall it.

  • Bridge in CS4 doesn't recognize my RAW files . . .

    I just got a Canon 5DMKII. When I download the RAW files into Bridge CS4, it does not recognize the file. I get the message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize the type of file".
    I had no problem with my Canon 5D, it displayed the RAW files perfectely.
    Any suggestions?

    No I haven't. How do I do that?
    I'm downloading some updates from the Adobe Updater, one of them was Camera RAW, so maybe that's it.

  • Photoshop CS4 Doesn't Recognize Printer

    Acer Laptop
    Windows Vista
    3 gb ram
    160 gb hd
    Printer - Canon Pixma Pro 9500
    Problem-
    I recently installed Photoshop CS4. I still have CS3 installed. When I go to print from CS4, it prompts me that there is no printer installed on my pc. (CS3 will still print without issues). I have downloaded and installed the latest and greatest drivers for my Canon Pixma Pro 9500. I have tried recreating the Photoshop preference file and still no good on either attempted solution. I even tried unistalling CS3 - no good.
    How do I "convince" Photoshop CS4 that printer software and drivers exist on my pc?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    H. Seldon

    I've been using Production Premium CS4 for over a year now, and since July on my i7/12GB/GTX260/Win7 64-bit, and it's all been fine. Tonight I get the Premiere 4.2.1 patch, and all of a sudden, magically, Photoshop will NOT recognize my installed printers. I tried 64-bit, 32-bit, rebooting, reinstalling my printer (a standard Epson R380 that has worked consistently), and to no avail. Illustrator sees the printer, but not Photoshop, even though it has printed fine until tonight's "unrelated" Premiere patch.
    Thus the woes of integrated suites.
    I'll try the FAX thing.

  • CS3 doesn't recognize Nikon Raw files in Yosemite

    Since updating to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, CS3 no longer works properly.
    Instead of thumbnails, Bridge displays icons for Nikon NEF images. When I click on the icon, I’m told “Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.”
    When I attempt to open the image directly through Photoshop, I’m presented with a Photoshop Raw Options window asking me to describe the dimensions of the image. (I don’t know how to do anything other than guess at the size, and when the image opens, it looks like grey noise on an old TV screen.)
    I’ve reinstalled CS3 but the problems remain.

    That did the trick.
    I followed the instructions for manually installing the Camera Raw 4.6 plug-in
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 4.6 update
    I had to purge the cache in Bridge, and once I did, the generic thumbnails became proper images.
    Thanks again for your help. I'll think twice next time before updating my operating system.

  • Camera Raw Plugin not working

    Photoshope CS4 won't open camera raw files from my new camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark II).  I've downloaded what should be the correct camera raw plugin update and installed it (5.2) but Photoshop still won't open the files.  Any help out there??  Many many thanks for your time in answering this.  Inga

    Ingadavida,
    You need to look for and download the Camera Raw 5.7 update and then install it manually following the instructions on the download page very, very carefully.
    While the auto update function seems much improved in CS5 and higher, the Adobe Auto Updater in CS4 (and lower) is totally unreliable, almost always broken in one day or another.  Still stuck in the dark ages.
    Here's the link for the download page for the Mac version of ACR 5.7:

  • Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

    Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

    This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw  update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
    Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
    And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
    I paid a lot of  money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new  camera
    The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
    Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

  • How do I update camera raw plugin on photoshop cs4 for mac?

    I've just reinstalled PS cs4 on a new macbook pro - my camera raw files from a canon 5d mark 2 are not being recognized...
    I found out that I need to update the camera raw plugin to version 5.2.  I downloaded the plug in and the computer said it successfully installed the plug in
    but the camera raw files still aren't readable.... Any ideas?

    This the manual installer for camera raw 5.7
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
    The profiles are installed by double clicking on the downloaded Camera_Raw_5.7 dmg and double clicking on the cameraprofiles.mpkg
    Install the camera raw.plugin by going to (Macintosh hard drive)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats and dragging the existing camera raw plugin to the Trash.
    Then drag the new camera raw plugin from the dmg to the same folder.

  • Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

    We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
    Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
    Is this a feature or a bug?
    Thank you

    So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
    And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610.  I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in.  How can I get bridge to recognize my camera?  Thanks to anyone who can help!!

    Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610.  I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in.  How can I get bridge to recognize my camera?  Thanks!!

    That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
    Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
    If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

  • Camera raw plugin for photoshop 5.5 (windows) not updating

    Hi, I'm trying to update the camera raw plugin (min 8.2) in photoshop 5.5 for windows. I downloaded, ran, installed camera raw plugin 8.6 and rebooted. The installation wizard shows as installed but when I open photoshop it still has camera raw 6.7.0.339. Please help!! (The dng converter works but the camera raw plugin has not been updated)

    That may be because the latest version of ACR that works with CS5 is ACR 6.7
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    You can install ACR 8.7.1 in CS6 to get new Camera support without ACR new features
