Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

How Can I change my Lightroom/Photoshop Subscription into a Full Creative Suite Subscription

I bought a Student Lightroom/Photoshop CC- Subscription and now I am thinking of "updating" it to a full one. How can I do that?

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

When "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom

when "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom
Please help me

Hi mariad91843143,
To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects ....

Lightroom→Photoshop CC 2014への連携ができない

Adobe Creative Cloud アップデート（2014-06-19）を行うと、Lightroom→Photoshop連携ができなくなった。
▼詳細
Lightroomで他のツールで編集→Adobe Photoshop CC 2014で編集を選択
自動でPhotoshop CC 2014が起動
（本当ならここで写真がPhotoshopに読み込まれるが、単純にPhotoshopが起動するだけ）
▼バージョン情報
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 (CameraRaw 8.5)
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.0.0リリース)
他のLightroomプラグイン（Google NikCollectionなど）では正しく連携できているため、
Photoshop CC 2014 に問題があるのではないかと思っています。
他の方は、Creative Cloud アップデート後に正しく連携できていますでしょうか。

自己解決しました。
Photoshop CC 2014 を再インストールして、正常に連携できるようになりました。
▼再インストール方法
コントロールパネル→プログラムのアンインストールから Photoshop CC 2014 をアンインストール
Creative Cloud を再起動（タスクトレイに常駐しているはずなので一度終了させて、再び起動）
Creative Cloud の一覧に Photoshop CC 2014 が出てくるのでインストール
▼問題が発生したインストール方法
CC 2014シリーズ（Photoshop CC 2014, Premiere CC 2014…など、全てのCC 2014）をインストール
CC 2014 と旧CC で重複している物（Photoshop CC と Photoshop CC 2014など）は、全て旧CCをアンインストール
※CCアンインストール後、（アンインストール画面の）プログラム一覧のCC 2014のアイコンが未登録アイコンになった点も少し気になります。
　（例えば、下画像の Adobe After Effects CC 2014など）
原因は分かりませんが、
CC 2014 シリーズをインストールした後に、CC（旧）シリーズをアンインストールした事が影響したのかもしれません。

Just purchased CC2015 Lightroom & Photoshop following a 30 day free trial. All worked well during the trial but now I have subscribed to the plan and downloaded the latest LR version I am unable to zoom into the images and just get a constant 'loading' box and spinning circle. Also, the whole system is very slow - very frustrating! Any ideas? I am running it on Windows 8.

$9.99 plan for Lightroom/photoshop

If I buy the $9.99 plan for Lightroom/photoshop and a new version come out next week will I be able to upgrade right away?

If you have the subscription, whenever a new version of Lightroom comes out, you get it at no extra charge

Buongiorno, dopo aver scaricato la versione di prova qualche mese fa, due giorni fa ho acquistato il pacchetto lightroom photoshop CC . Purtroppo quando cerco di aprire photoshop mi viene richiesto il numero di serie. Come posso procedere?

Ciao,
si, ho contattato il servizio clienti via chat e mi hanno aiutata a risolvere il problema! Dovevo semplicemente eliminare il file hosts, ma adesso non ricordo il procedimento esatto! Dovrebbe essere scritto anche sul sito tra le risoluzioni dei problemi!
Se la ritrovo ti spedisco una mail che mi avevano mandato da Adobe!
Spero che tu riesca a risolvere il problema!

Who can give me an advice: iPhoto or Photoshop for iPad?

Not that I do a ton of photo editing, but there's a free app that works well, better than one I paid for
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photopad-by-zagg/id364758617?mt=8
photopad.
color correction, cropping, rotation etc.
I've used adobe for years and contemplated their app, but held off after reading some reviews that suggested that you have to buy filters etc for it. As much as I am familiar with Adobe products and have no real issue with them I don't do enough editing to get into something like that so I gave it a pass for the time being.

I am looking to upgrade to the entire CC suite from the Lightroom/Photoshop package. The packages page says the complete suite is available to existing customers for 29.99 monthly. But when I try to upgrade I only get one option for 599.99 yearly. Can I get clarification on the $29.99 offer and who it is available for. Thank you

Hi there
The 29.99 introductory offer is for existing CS customers ie customers with a CS3-CS6 product (suite or individual product).
Hope this clarifies matters.
Thanks

Photoshop can only see what your video card driver reports.
You might want to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

Upgrades to boost speed for Lightroom/Photoshop

I have a Mac Pro from early 2008 running OS 10.7.x. I want to add whatever upgrades that might boost the speed working in Lightroom 4 and Photoshop and inDesign CS6. In particular Lightroom seems to bog down quite a bit when using Adjustment Brush to adjust numerous locations on my large NEF files. And of course we all would like loading and rendering to go faster. I'm going to be going back and forth between Lightroom, Photoshop, and InDesign to create coffee table size photo books with much text. I already have nearly 30,000 images and also will be digitizing hundreds of 35mm negs/slides, so anything that will make my work faster and my data safely and redundantly backed up is important.
I have a couple specific questions as well:
1.     Is there a graphics card that would noticably speed up image processing on my model Mac Pro?
2.     Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD 960GB make my image editing work go much faster?
3.     Would adding a card to give me USB 3.0 ports make my external backing up go much faster, or is there even a card available for my early 2008 Mac Pro?
4.     I want to change from my 1T data drives to 4T. The Westerm Digital (5 year warranty) drives have dual processors, does that significantly speed up working on large raw photo files? Their drives are much less expensive than the Toshiba 7200 RPM SATA enterprise drives (5 year warranty) and I wonder if spending the extra money on enterprise quality is worth it for my Mac Pro?
5.     Would adding an SSD drive as my boot drive and to hold my applications etc speed things up much?
6.     Any ideas on a fast reliable backup strategy?
Sincerely,
Greg

Someone with same situation it sounded like you:
Mac Pro 3,1 question
Lightroom 4/5 on nMP runs very smoothly while on a MAXED OUT 4,1 using PCIe SSDs it was lagging.
And that to me shows the limitations of upgrades, even how old PCIe 2.0 and 2.1 do not keep up and provide the same - even the 800/900MB/sec of an SSD array on PCIe
WD has a Thunderbolt WD 10K VelociRaptor 2TB dual-drive that is only $400 but 400MB/sec that can be a nice storage array for catalogues or scratch. Traditional 10K drives have their uses, and unlike an SSD, the writes are right up with read IO. One of those add-on costs possible that I am looking into.

New Haswell-E PC for Lightroom/Photoshop

I'm investing in a new desktop PC for Lightroom/Photoshop use that will hopefully last the next 3/4 years.

All opinions gratefully received!

I prefer not to make recommendations because performance is something that simply cannot be predicted. For instance, I am using an off-the-shelf HP computer, 8 GB RAM, integrated graphics (no special graphics card), i5 processor. Performance is perfectly satisfactory for me. But you have to remember that I'm only working with 12 MP raw images. I'm working on some scanned images as well that benefit from the shake reduction filter in Photoshop CC. That filter takes quite a while to render on my machine, and I'm thinking of increasing my RAM. But other than that, Lightroom performance is very nice. So I wouldn't want to make any suggestions. It's simply the luck of the draw, I'm afraid.
