Adobe won't open RAW files

I've read numerous forums about this issue and similar instances but I have tried everything and on the verge of getting a new computer because this is all so frustrating.  I have a 3 yr old iMac with not many files on it.
This was my most recent attempt:
plug my Nikon D60 into computer, open elements and it immediately crashes, elements then opens up and crashes again when i choose import from camera.
so then i imported a raw file with iphoto, exported to desktop and then tried importing in elements... it used to say "does not recognize file type" but now it is simply crashing.
Lightroom is even worse... when trying to import a raw file from desktop it simply crashes without any sort of message other than the error report details which unfortunately i am not technical enough to understand.  PLEASE HELP!!  i am so eager to begin editing my thousands of raw files.

Okay, if you want tonemapping, you can't do that in PSE 6 (you can in the version of bridge that comes with PSE 8) or iphoto. For what you want to do, I would try lightroom. (I haven't used it in a while, but I believe the raw converter there is more full-featured than the PSE version). So I would let LR import your photos and do your raw conversions there. You could set PSE as your external editor for when you need to do more.
Now as far as crashing goes, have you repaired permissions since installing the adobe products? You did install them from admin accounts?
(You may need to update the ACR plug-in for lightroom, and you definitely want to do that for PSE. The PSE plug-in and instructions are <a href=http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh>here</a>).

  • Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

    Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii?  Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

    What Mark III?
    Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
    And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
    There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

  • Just updated camera raw to 6.6 in photoshop 5 won't open raw files

    Just updated camera raw in photoshop 5 to 6.6 on a mac pro running 10.6.8 os wont open a raw file and program freezes and must force quit to close. Lightroom update has problems as well. Don't recommend updating to either

    Photoshop CS5, 12.0.4 x64
    2.93 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro
    8GB 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM
    Photoshop is configured to open Raw, JPG & Tiff.
    Raw files in CR2 format from my Canon EOS 5D MarkII
    Applied the Camera Raw 6.6 update last night. There were no problems noted during the update. Did not realize until later that the files would not open any more - I was working with PSD files created several days before. I forwarded several crash reports to Apple after I force closed Photoshop several times. When I opened one of the three files Photoshop would not exactly freeze but the whole system became slow - the force-close menu took a while to display after I right-clicked the icon in the dock. If I dragged and dropped one of the three into the dock icon, Photoshop would open with usual audible disk sounds but the sounds stopped quickly and the program was frozen.
    I recovered using suggestions from the forum, used Time Machine to return Photoshop, Bridge and the Adobe folder in the path /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ to the state before the update. The Camera Raw Plug-in is now at 6.5 and I can open RAW files again.
     

  • Camera Raw won't open raw files after recent update.

    "Update" of what? ?? ?
    Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details: 
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.

  • Iphoto won't open raw files from leica dlux-6 camera.

    I just purchased a leica d-lux 6 camera and use a macbook. seems that iphoto which I've been using for years  can not open raw files from this camera. Will it ever?  I downlaoded the free lightroom Leica gave and it can open raw but it seems to require more of a learning curve than iphoto. If I continue to use both lightroom and iphoto on same mac computer cause problems?  Any suggestions?  I guess i could shoot in jpeg and raw and use only iphoto for jpegs and use LR for the occasional raw shots?

    Correct, the D-Lux 6 is not currently supported for Raw in iPhoto or Aperture. Apple may add support in a future update. Let them know you want it:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    LR is a very powerful, professional grade application and yes, requires a lot more learning than iPhoto. If that doesn't interest you, then respectfully, I would suggest that you just shoot Jpeg.

  • Adobe Won't Open Zip files

    I have Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.9.2.  In either Google or Safari, Adobe will not open zip files saying they are not supported or the file is damaged.  Have checked the plugins on Google and enabled Flashplayer and reader.  I have managed the website settings on Safari to enable Adobe Reader.  Quicktime is up to date.
    All suggestions will be gratefully received.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Select a .zip file, select "Get Info" from the Finder menu and change the setting for zip files to always open in "Archive Utility.app":
    After you select that default application, make certain that you select "Change All."

  • Help! My CS3 won't open RAW files from my Canon EOS 7D..

    I have always used Photoshop CS3 - I like it and am quick with it, and I shoot RAW files on Canon EOS.
    I don't want to upgrade to CS5, however since upgrading my camera to a 7D, Photoshop will no longer
    open my RAW files. I've tried to update plug-ins, I've tried to work through DNG [it won't open those either]
    and I've tried for hours on end to get an answer from Adobe on the phone. Nothing is working. Does anyone
    have any advice for me please? I'm begining to tear my hair out!! Emma

    Hi,
    Are you saying your Ps CS3 won't even open the sample DNG file (/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Samples/Doors.dng)? If that's the case then you need to make sure you have the correct Camera Raw 4 plug-in installed properly.
    If it is just DNGs generated from your 7D files, then maybe the DNG Converter options need to be tweaked.
    regards

  • Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D

    I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@.  I've just purchased a Canon 70D.  Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2.  I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out.  I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4.  Is there some way I could  preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?

    You need to upgrade to PSE12. 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 all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Photoshop CS4 won't open RAW files

    Photoshop CS4 will not open RAW (.CR2) files. I have tried what is listed on Adobe's website (checking versions, uninstalling, reinstalling). Nothing has worked. It still gives me the error message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    I am using CS4 on a 10.6.6 Mac OS with a Canon Rebel XS. I currently have Camera Raw 5.7 installed.
    Does anyone have any answers ?
    Thank you,

    The CAT.CR2 file that was posted is from a 1000D that does not have sRAW capabilities.  Comparing the ExifTool data and the camera specifications, there should have been a small-sized preview JPG image and a large-sized RAW image in the file, but the file was truncated after the top-left quadrant of RAW data was written:

  • CS 5 Extended won't open Raw files from my Canon SL1

    My Raw plug-in version is 6.7.0.339. Is there a later version for me to download and install? Do I need to use Adobe DNG Converter? If so, which version?
    Forgive me if this question has been asked before. I did search the forums but didn't find an answer for CS5 Extended.
    Thanks!

    Your version of Photoshop will not open Canon Digital Rebel SL1 images directly. Support wasn't added until Photoshop CS6 in Camera Raw 7.4.
    Adobe stopped updating older versions of Camera Raw to be able to read raw files from newer cameras whenever they released a new major version of Photoshop.  Thus, the version you have is no longer receiving updates and will never directly be able to open your CR2 files.
    You can check this yourself:
    First you need to determine when Adobe released support for your new camera in Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages.  You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Since your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera directly , you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, and you will be able to open the converted DNG files with your version of Photoshop, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • PS CC won't open raw files from my Nikon D600

    My camera is on the supported list...I've see others with the same problem here.
    I have the latest download of PScc, Bridge and Nikon Transfer.  I have the latest plug in from Camera Raw, 8.3.141 yet I cannot get the nef files to load in Camera Raw, which I prefer for pre-PS work.
    Can someone assist me?  Thanks.

    Noel,
    Good morning, and may I just add  THANK YOU!
    While certainly not as efficient or handy, that is the answer.  I simply
    instructed my PC to open the containing folder, in this case my direct card
    reader, and manually copied the files to my hard drive (highlight first and
    last-SHIFT-Enter) and moved them to a pre-named subdirectory.
    I opened PScc and pointed to that file, clicked on the photo I wanted and
    VIOLA!  Opened in Camera Raw and I was off to the races!
    Perhaps the user groups can make some noise and someone at Nikon may take
    notice!
    Thanks again for the suggestion.
    Larry

  • Adobe won't open a file that Adobe reader will....

    I have a file created by a third party (scanned) that opens fine in Acrobat Reader but doesn't open in Acrobat 10.0.3. This is on Windows 7. The PDF cproducre is Pixel Translations (PIXPDF Ver.7.5.48) and the version is 1.1 (Acrobat 2.x). There are a number of patches between 10.0.3. and the current as of 12/16/2013 version 10.1.8. Is this something that is resolved in the patch or are there other potential causes?

    Apple introduced a new document architecture with Pages v5, that is not backwards compatible with Pages '09. With Pages v5.5.2 (Yosemite) installed, a simple double-click on a Pages '09 document will default open it in Pages v5. Once you save, or Pages autosaves this document, it is no longer directly compatible with Pages '09, without first exporting it to Pages '09 format. Pages v5 documents do not contain index.xml files, and Pages '09 documents do.

  • I just purchased Elements 12 to open raw files for Olympus OMD 1. It won't open raw files. It is version 12.0. I tried to update it and got error for 12.1-U43M1D207 and for raw-U44M1120

    What do I do to upload latest version for Elements 12 version 12.0 when getting an error  for 12.1-U43M1D207 and for raw-U44M1120?
