Viewing .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5 on a Mac OS 10.6.8

I have just purchased a Fuji X30 Camera and cannot view the .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5... I have a Mac OS 10.6.8
What do I need to do?  Thanks, Webb

ABSOLUTELY NOT !.
Blame the photographer nor the camera or the software.—unless it's a cr@ppy camera or lens.
The DNG Converter does not touch your raw pixels at all.  It just takes them from the RAF wrapper and puts them in a new DNG wrapper.

  • I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

    I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever.  I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw. 
    I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch.  In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
    Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
    To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
    However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
    Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

  • Can't view CR2 raw files in Bridge CS6 from Apple laptop pro - why?

    I've got Adobe Bridge CS6 installed on both my desktop and laptop pro.  For some reason I am not able to view the CR2 raw files on the laptop pro.  Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thanks!!

    "CR2" files is meaningless.  You need to specify the exact Canon camera model that generated them.  There are many flavors of CR2 raw files.

  • 70D RAW files in Bridge CS5

    I have upgraded my Canon camera from a 40D to a 70D and Bridge tells me it can't read the RAW files HELP

    The 40D should work, but the 70D will not.
    The 40D requires Camera Raw 4.2 or later. The 70D requires 8.2 (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html)
    CS5 only goes up to 6.7 (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html)
    To make 70D file work in Bridge, you'll either have to upgrade or convert them to DNG
    Windows: https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5645
    Double-check that Camera Raw is still installed by going to Help (Windows) or Adobe Bridge (Mac) > About Plugin > Camera Raw.

  • Can't view Camera RAW files in Bridge or Photoshop CS4 after upgrading to Mac Mavericks X OS.

    After upgrading my Mac operating system to Mavericks X I can no longer view Camera RAW images on either Bridge or Photoshop CS4!
    I'd already fixed the issue of not even being able to launch Photoshop by installing Apple's Java applet, but this doesn't seem to have helped with the Camera RAW situation.
    I've tried invoking "Update" in both Bridge and Photoshop, and both indicate there are no updates.
    I even went to Adobe's Camera RAW area, and downloaded and installed the Camera RAW plugin specifically for my cameras (Canon 5D Mk ii) and Photoshop CS4, and that hasn't helped at all!
    I feel that it's just another silly Java applet, but I haven't any idea how to proceed from here!
    HELP!
    Thank you,
    Bob

    Did you download and install the camera raw 5.7 update?
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
    There are also other updates you should install, such as 11.0.2 for photoshop and the bridge output module update, if you need them.

  • Inconsistent Previewing Raw Files in Bridge

    About two weeks ago, without warning, I was no longer able view my raw files in bridge. The strange thing is, when looking at raw files from a CD in bridge, it will give a preview of about 75% of the files. I am running leopard on my MAC OS X 10.5.4, using CS3, 1) always updating when it needs to be 2) i have reset all my preferences in bridge. Has anyone else run into this problem? Cheers

    This sounds to me like you installed the updated plug-in incorrectly.
    It's a common mistake to pick the wrong plug-in folder when copying Camera Raw. Unlike Photoshop plug-ins, plug-ins which work in Bridge must be installed in the 'Common Files' directory branch. On my computer, Camera Raw (Camera Raw.8bi) can be found here:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CSx\File Formats
    Similar Photoshop-only plug-ins are located here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx\Plug-ins\File Formats
    Note that they are similar but different, and consequently quite easy to confuse. Also note that you should ONLY HAVE ONE copy of 'Camera Raw.8bi' installed (or two if you're running 64-bit Photoshop). So, if you previously installed the update in the wrong place, you should remove it, and put it in the correct place.
    Hope that helps.

  • Swatch Files in Bridge CS5

    I recently upgraded to Creative Suite CS5 (on Windows XP).  Previously I had Illustrator CS3 & Photoshop CS3 and used Bridge to manage/view my swatches (both in AI & ASE).  Now that I have "upgraded" I can't seem to view the ASE files in Bridge CS5 and it is frustrating the living daylights out of me.  I rely on Bridge to view the multitude of swatches I've accumulated and now that I can't view them in Bridge (or even Explorer), I don't know what to do?  Is anyone else having this issue and if so how did you rectify it?  Thanks!!

    Hello Bob. Sorry to bring you bad news. I am struggling with the same. After a call to Adobe Tech support I was told that the Previewing ASE swatches is no longer available in CS5 Bridge. As a solution you can close down the CS5 Bridge and open the CS3 Bridge to view the Swatches get the info you need like Filename etc then close CS3 Bridge and work away in CS5 Bridge. Unfortunately you can't run CS3 Bridge and CS5 Bridge at the same time. Yeah I know its a pain. I am currently recreating my Colour Library using Illustrator with the colour swatches which are viewable in Bridge and saving an ASE file of the same name to keep with it. Hope this helps. Ronanro

  • Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this                om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

    Useing a PC
    Have Photoshop CS5
    Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
    I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
    I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
    any suggestions?

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

  • Hi, I have Photoshop CS5 and cannot view my RAW files. Can anyone help me, please?

    Hello,
    I have PS5 and I cannot view my raw files. Can you help me?

    Hi Gautam,
    You are right thank you. I check the article and my camera canon 6D
    requires camera raw 7.3 and I have 6.0. What to do then?
    I did so research, I tried to open my PS5 and went to help \ update and I
    tried downloading update like 4 times each time there was a message "there
    was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later".
    I just need camera raw 7.3 so I can work on my raw files. Maybe you will be
    able to help. I appreciate in advance.

  • How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

    How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.  I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work.  I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files.  I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not.  Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

    First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version.  Always use the very latest version.  8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
    Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files.  Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
    I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
    You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated.  You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
    I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    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 (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    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 (not necessarily this poster).
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

  • Can't open Raw files after transferring CS5 to my new computer

    I just transferred cs5 to my new imac computer using my time machine backup. I now get a "photoshop does not recognize this file type" when I try to open a raw file from photoshop. When I try to open my raw files through bridge I get the message "you do not have permission to open the document. I have checked my permission preferences and have reading and writing permissions and updated to 6.7 ACR. I dont know what to do next?

    Curt,
    I have an imac OSX 10.8.2. So is the application folder the correct location for the CS5 folder? There is a lot of unclear information about this out on the web.
    Everything I loaded today has a CS5.1 name to it. I assumed that it was an updated version from my original CS5? If I click on the CS5 folder located in my user file it opens photoshop (probally means its not uninstalled... hum). I cant access it through utilities/adobe installers/uninstall CS5. So maybe I should do the Script cleaner like you mentioned? Or maybe CS5 and CS5.1 are the same program like you mentioned?
    When I follow the path to camera raw you mentioned I get to a photoshop raw "pop up" but ACR doesnt open up. Are you asking for me to locate the Camera Raw plug in folder or look for multiples of the file inside my plugins folder? Their isnt a ACR file in my CS5 file that I found in my user folder or the CS5.1 file in my applications folder. Where would I typically find it? Im having a hard time finding it at all.
    Im on my 2nd day of troubleshooting and Ive read so many articles and help threads. Ive had a call back order requested from adobe... Im still waiting 3 hours later. Im afraid they might just reject my request for help since I dont have CS6. You have by far been the best help Ive found. Thank you very much! If you can think of anything else to resolve this please let me know. Im so frusterated at this point... trying to be positive though, Im learning alot.

  • DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

    I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4).  The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
    I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files.  As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
    The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0.  (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
    So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.
    Peter

    Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
    Alternatively, 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 PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Problems using Camera Raw function in Bridge CS5.1

    Hey so I don't know what the heck is going on, but Camera Raw was working perfectly for me when I got this computer. It's a work computer, and all the programs were recently installed. I like using Camera Raw because of the easy basic editing and mass rendering (from .nef to .jpg) because I do a lot of shooting as a journalist.
    Like I said, it was working fine for me the past three weeks. Now I get this error message:
    Camera Raw editing is not enabled
    Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    I just installed the program, alongside PSE 12 Editor, and I have no idea how to fix this. Obviously, I've opened both Bridge and PSE, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now.
    Please please help. It's a MAJOR pain in the arse to have to edit every photo manually in PSE.

    You can use PSE with multiple Raw files also but Camera Raw in PSE has very limited options compared to the full ACR and also you can't save as jpeg via PSE.
    But do you have Photoshop CS5 installed because I can't find any info on that in your posts??
    Bridge CS4 was the only version that worked with PS elements (PSE 8??) but after that they discontinued the connection and since then PSE again uses its own organizer. So it is either using PSE for your work or you have to use Photoshop and Bridge.
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is a plugin that comes with Photoshop. But Bridge has the option to also use this same plug in but it uses the PS version itself. If you open a Raw file in Bridge the normal way it opens in ACR via PS.
    If you choose right mouse click menu 'Open in Camera Raw' it uses ACR via Bridge. You can use both ACR at the same time. e.g. open multiple files in Bridge to load them as 'filmstrip mode' in the ACR window. Make your changes and choose 'save image'. While this jobs is running you can't use PS until the saving has finished.
    however if you return to Bridge and select another bunch and open this via 'Open in Camera Raw' the ACR window opens via Bridge. So while the first job is running in the background via PS you can start the second job via Bridge.
    Be sure to have the latest updates and the latest ACR version for Camera Raw (in your case it should be both PS and Bridge CS5.1 and ACR 6.7)
    In PS go to menu Photoshop / About Plug In / Camera Raw and this provides a window with the version of Camera Raw you are using.

    How do I use Fuji RAF (raw) files? What file do I need to download for my Photoshop CS5?
    Message was edited by: backlash2

    This is for the benefit of others who might find this thread.
    There is a list of the latest Camera Raw versions that can be used with a particular major release of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements here, in the Camera Raw FAQ:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
    The Camera Raw versions listed in the FAQ (e.g., Camera Raw 6.2 for Elements 8) are the latest that can be installed in a particular editor version. 
    If that Camera Raw version is lower than the one listed at the link Trevor supplied above, then you'll need to either use the free DNG converter to convert your files to the DNG format before opening them in your image editor, or upgrade your image editor.
