Vista & RAW

Is PS6 okay to run under Vista? The box states XP SP3 or Win7, but no mention of Vista. It opens but a couple of issues...
main one being it won't open Canon 5Dmk3 RAW files, even after updating. Any ideas?

Adobe does not support Photoshop CS6 running under Vista. Apparently, there were many more legacy XP customers than Vista customers. That said, CS6 does run on Vista. Just don't try to get any help from Adobe if you do have a problem.

  • Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

    I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

    Nikon encrypts RAW file data
    ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
    (Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
    A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
    <IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
    Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
    RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
    In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
    In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
    The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
    Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
    Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

  • Howto update Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6 on Windows Vista

    Hi there,
    i am trying to update the Camera Raw Plugin in Photoshop CS6 to the latest supported version 8.3 but i can not make it work...
    What i want?
    I want to view the RW2 Raw files from my Lumix GX7 in Photoshop CS6 and Bridge.
    Lumix GX7 needs minimum Camera Raw 8.2 as of this site Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw 8.3 is supported for CS6 as of this site Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    I found this link Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date but there is only the latest version 8.6 available which does not support Windows Vista.
    On this site Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.4 there is only the DNG Converter available.
    Help Information in Photoshop shows Camera Raw 7.0 installed and now updated available (up to date).
    The only other file i found was Camera Raw 8.5 here Camera Raw updates cannot be applied but does not help me either...
    Has someone solved this problem before and could tell me how? Am i missing some hidden option to make the update work?
    Greetings from Germany

    You've tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
    Or this 8.3 updater
    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/8.3.52/setup.zip
    If that doesn't work, you can install camera raw 8.3 by following the directions on the following page

  • Windows Vista lightroom 2 RAW support

    I have read many responses to other questions about this but no solution.  I need to be able to edit my RAW photos in lightroom 2 that is fully updated and i use Windows Vista at this time.  Any suggestions that are realistic?

    What camera are you using?  A "fully updated" Lightroom 2 is really ancient software anymore. Lightroom has progressed to Lightroom 5.6, and it seems that Lightroom 6.0 is on the horizon. No announcements have been made regarding that, however.
    If you shoot JPEG, you have no concerns using Lightroom 2. But since you want support for your raw files, unless you are using a very old camera it is unlikely that you will be able to work on those native raw file's. It might be possible for you to use the DNG converter, a newer version, to create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw files. And then you could work on those using Lightroom 2.
    Lightroom has undergone significant changes and improvements since Lightroom 2. If you have invested in a modern more up-to-date camera I think it would be a shame for you to limit yourself to the capabilities of Lightroom 2. It would certainly be worth the investment for you to upgrade. However, you are limited there because the new version of Lightroom will not support Windows Vista. And since Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft you might consider a new computer with a new operating system.

  • Camera Raw editing is not enabled - ACR5.4 Vista 64bit

    When I use Bridge, and right click and select to open a raw file in Camera Raw, I get this 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".
    There is no problem in Bridge when opening a raw file in Camera Raw when just Open With (PS) or double-clicking
    I have seen many have the same problem, and I have tried most of the hints found in forums, but no luck.
    I running Windows Vista 64bit. Installed and activated Photoshop CS4 in the standard directories and installed ACR 5.4 manually as described by Adobe by copy the plugin files to folders:
    Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats\
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats\
    There are no other files in this 2 directories.
    I have tried purging cache, and have closed both Brigde and Photoshop and startet Bridge from Photoshop by using -file, -browse in Bridge. And still the same problem.
    There are no errors in the files alm.log and amt.log in %temp% directory.
    Thanks for any help

    I have just upgraded to Win 7 64bit and have had a similar problem with getting "Camera Raw editing is not enabled" in Bridge
    I had installed CS4 as a trial whilst I tested that my install of Win 7 was OK
    When I activated CS4 I was using CS4 64 bit and never got the "I have deactivated the software from another machine" question
    I tried lost of things to get Camera Raw editing in Bridge and all failed.
    When I tried CS4 32 bit it wanted to activate the software - it  asked the "I have deactivated the software from another machine" question and then rejected the activation as two PC were using the key.
    I deactivated CS4 from the 64bit side and removed the key
    Then I activated using CS4 32bit - all seems OK now
    Hope this works for you

  • Camera raw cs5.5 in windows vista 32 bit

    I have to install Photoshop again. Version is CS5.5 on a windows vista 32 bit system. It did what it needed to do. Photoshop runs, Bridge runs. That is all I need. However it installed only camera raw 6.0 something. For my files I need at least camera raw 6.3 or newer. Installation however fails. If I try it alone, it says it needs the application manager, if I install the application mnager, it says everything is up to date (which it is not) and if I try to install camera raw, the application manager window pops open, says it is broken and needs to be updated or reinstalled.
    True, dng converter works, however it is slower than needed, and I would prefer to get it working right. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Michi555555 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the Camera RAW update which is failing to apply.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors to this discussion.

  • PSE 9 raw works on on Vista PC but not on XP PC

    I purchased PSE 9 about a year ago. I love the raw editing capabilites
    and the little window that the raw files open in on my Vista PC. I also installed PSE 9 on my netbook as the liscense said I could
    install on up to 2 computers. The problem however, is that I can't get those raw controls to show up on my Netbook which has XP on it. Today I decided to uninstall the PSE 9 that was on the netbook and install it again but to no avail. I still can't get those raw controls to show up on my netbook. Why does this work on the Vista PC and not on the XP pc? Can anyone help me wiht this. I'd really like to get those controls onto my netbook so I can edit files in Oregon from my vacation while I'm there. thanks for your help. :-)

    Wow so I guess I can't use them on my small netbook. That's kind of stinky :-( . Oh well, thanks for letting me know. I can still open raw files but I can't adjust sharpness, nose, wb or anything like that. Guess I'll stick to my larger computer for that stuff.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>

  • Elements 6, Canon 50D Raw Files, Windows Vista

    Hi all...my first post here...
    I'm able to load and see my Raw files in the organizer after loading the latest ACR. But when I browse through the files, after a bit,  I get an error message that Elements needs to close. After closing I check my task manager and notice that the organizer is at 25% CPU usage, so something is hanging things up. I just don't know enough to figure it out. (I'm a little tech savvy, but not a lot...)
    I'm on a PC running Vista. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    "Bug Files"? That's a new one for me.
    I've successfully imported a Thousand RAW files with thumbnails generated in the organizer.
    I've got 4gigs of RAM.
    I left the organizer open for 6 hours today and when I got back home, the RAW files still wanted to freeze, yet I was able to go to some jpg files and work on them before getting the "Elements is not responding and needs to close message". I'm going to go back to check on browsing the RAW files again.
    I heard from someone on a DPReview Canon Forum who had the same problem with Elements 6 and the 50D Raw files and it disappeared when he upgraded to Elements 7.

  • Trouble Installing Camera Raw 4.1 on Windows Vista Computer

    I have CS3 and I used Adobe Updater to upgrade to Camera Raw 4.1. I already have 4.0 installed. For some reason, I get an error when I try to install 4.1. The updater gives no reason, just that it cannot (after several tries) install 4.1 on my computer. I have a PC using Windows Vista Home Premium. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Peter

    Thanks for the response. You are assuming, however, that I was not using the Adobe Updater. That was where I was having a problem -- the Updater was not allowing the ACR to update to 4.1. I checked with Adobe directly, and they recommended not using the Adobe Updater to update this particular upgrade. Instead, they suggested I manually update ACR, which I have done successfully. I also received that advice from another person on another forum or newsgroup. It worked.
    Windows Vista, by the way, has its own unzipping utility embedded in its OS. It worked fine unzipping the ACR ugrade and the DNG converter, when I used it to install ACR 4.1.
    Thanks again for responding.

  • Lightroom 1.1 + Vista = No RAW import direct from canon 400D

    My laptop runs on XP and my desktop on Vista and I have a 400D, lightroom 1.1, PS CS2 and camera raw 4.1. I've just migrated my workflow into lightroom which i'm enjoying.
    Both computers read and edit RAW files fine and i've exported and imported catlogs between them.
    My laptop imports RAW files from my camera but my desktop (vista) says that there are no files to import. Either i've done something wrong in setting up lightroom or there appears to be some kind of driver problem.
    I can see them in windows, copy them off my camera in windows and then import them in lightroom from my computer, but not directly from my camera

    The same problem:

  • Codec for RAW in vista 64

    I am trying to find the codec for viewing RAW files in Windows Live Photo Gallery. I found the codec for Vista 32, but nothing for the 64 system.
    I may be in the wrong forum, if so can you direct me to the proper forum and/or give advice.
    Thanks....david

    I have been hodling off upgrading to CS4 for a year now, since Adobe has not make any statements about Windows 7 support.  If adobe has release some statements, can someone point me to the statement?
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/ See "Support for Windows 7"
    What is the possible release schedule for CS5, I am thinking May 2010?
    That's as good as anyone else's guess.
    CS: Sep 2003
    CS2: April 2005 (19 months)
    CS3: April 2007 (24 months)
    CS4: Oct 2008 (19 months)
    CS5:  May 2010 would be 19 months - but only Adobe knows the real date.

    It sounds like you are doing things correctly.
    Go into Photoshop, select the Help menu and select About Plugins and make sure the Camera Raw plugin is listed there. Let us know what it says there.
    Also let us know what camera your raw files are from, and if they were already on the PC when you installed the Camera Raw update.

  • CS3, camera raw 4.4 & vista: CR2 files

    When I try to open CR2 files from Canon 40D I am getting "cannot complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I use windows vista. I have downloaded the latest updates to CS3 and camera raw. I had this problem with CS2, read the forums, downloaded a trial version of CS3, updated everything and it worked fine. So I went ahead and purchased CS3. only to find that I can no longer access my CR2 files. Any suggestions. please?
    thanks.

    Shane,
    The Camera Raw plug-in is updated approximately 4 times each year, and has been updated a number of times since CS3 was released. The latest officially released version is available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    Additionally, there is a beta version of Camera Raw 4.6 available here:
    http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php?title=Camera_Raw_4.6
    Both of these versions support your camera. The latest release, which is in beta, works well. I think it is primarily in beta form so that Adobe can get feedback on the newly supported cameras. I have not found any problems with it.
    On either one of those referenced webpages there are complete instructions on how to install the new plug-in. It would be senseless to repeat those instructions here. Just be advised that you need to follow those instructions precisely and REPLACE the existing plug-in in order for it to work properly. Do not rename the old version, do not put it in a subfolder, or camera raw will cease to function.
    Also, when Camera Raw 4.6 is finally released, that will probably be the last version of Camera Raw that will work with CS3. Photoshop CS4 has been announced, and will probably begin shipping within the next few weeks. The Camera Raw plug-in for the new version of Photoshop will not be compatible with Photoshop CS3.
