Bridge can't read RAW format from my new camera

I just bought a new Sony SLT-A58 but Bridge says the he can't read the RAW format so, I can't download my photos.
I went online and found a Adobe Camera Raw 6.7.1 and a DNG Converter 7.4 plugins that supposidely would solve the problem. No avail. Still refuse to recognize the RAW format.
Desperate as this is my working camera and and need it up and runing asap. I had absolutely no problems with my older Sony A100.
What is weird is that... if I pass the photos in the converter, it shows me the .dng version of the photos so, something is there. Why can't Bridge see my RAW photos? ... and also, leave tons of caches and weird icons in the file, a real mess.
I am on Mac platform on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and use CS5... and yes, all my programs and softwares are up-to-date.
Thank you for your help...
... and Happy New Year

So if RAW support is specific, why do they do a plugin for CS5 and for my camera?
Adobe has released versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) right back to ACR 1.0 (which was compatible with Photoshop 7). However, supported cameras vary by ACR version and Adobe application version.
You need to match:
your camera make and model
the version of Camera Raw which supports your camera make and model
the specific version of Adobe software which supports the version of Camera Raw that you need.
In your case, the Sony SLT-A58 was first supported by ACR 7.4 - which is only supported in CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with ACR7.4.
Complete list of supported cameras is here

Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications are listed here

CS5 is certainly not an antiquity and the Sony A58 is not a huge tech advanced Hasselblad. I have friends who have big Nikon and Sony A77 and Canon and import their RAW to their CS5 Bridge.
All that matters is which specific camera matches up with which version of ACR - and which Adobe applications are compatible with that version of ACR.
Can't comment on big Nikon or Canon mentioned above without specific camera model numbers.
However, the Sony A77 is supported by ACR6.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS5+. Easy to see why that combination works.
Similarly, your Sony A100 was first supported by ACR 3.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS2+. Easy to see why that works too.
Always read the Adobe tables linked above and cross-reference them with each other. That should clear up your confusion.

  • Aperature can't read RAW files from my new Nikon D800. Help?

    My Aperature is version 3.2.4 and I have done all the software updates.  I shoot in both JPEG and RAW, but aperature can only read the JPEG's.  Can anyone help?

    The Nikon D800 raw support was included in "digital camera raw update 3.11", and that is the only one that I cannot find online any longer.
    The raw support for Nikon D800 has now been moved directly into the latest MacOS X Releases - for MacOS X 10.7 it is built into MacOS X 10.7.4 or later, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    and for Mt. Lion it is included in all releases, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371
    But according to this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825, if you are still using Snow Leopard, you will need the raw support from "digital camera raw update 3.11". What is the latest raw support you installed?

  • If I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

    if I install dng converter version 8.3 so I can read raw files from my new sony a7 camera, will I still be able to read raw files from my canon 5d ?

    Ok. That explains 8.3. I know some want to stay with 10.6 because they have software or hardware that won't work on anything later.

  • Does Lightroom 4, or Lightroom 5 support Raw format from the new Nikon Df camera?

    Does Lightroom 4, or Lightroom 5 support Raw format from the new Nikon Df camera?
    Can anyone please tell me? 
    If not, is there a way for me to get the photo's in to Lightroom in another manner?

    LR 4 no. LR 5.3 support added. If you have used an earlier version of Nikon software to download the nef files to your computer this may have made the files unreadable in Lightroom.

  • How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

    My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi  and XTi  without any problem.

    What Noel said.
    FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

    Or run the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files to DNG then edit the DNGs in Photoshop

    DNG conversion requires extra steps - but it's free.

  • Elements 10 will not read RAW files from my new Lumix G5

    All my RAW files taken with Lumix G1 are fine but the RAW files from my new camera (Lumix G5) won't open. What should I do?
    Looking at help in E10, it says ACR is version 6.7.0.339
    Elements 10 is version 10.0 (20110831.m.17215)
    Any ideas?

    You need at least ACR 7.2 for those raw files, and ACR 7 is not compatible with PSE 10. So you have three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 11 (not the mac app store version, which is stuck at 7.1). If you are considering this, I would wait a month or so, since Adobe historically releases a new version every Sept/Oct.
    2. Use the panasonic software (silky pics?) to convert the raw files and send the resulting images to PSE for further processing.
    3. Download the free adobe DNG converter, which can create DNG files that are compatible with your version of ACR.

  • Creative Cloud is always empty and I cannot update LR and PS and cannot open RAW files from my new camera!

    My Creative Cloud is always empty.  I've had this trouble for over a year.  I cannot update Lightroom because of it and Photoshop does not update properly.  I cannot open the RAW files from my new camera, a Nikon D750.  Each time I want to update, I have to talk to you and delete things and reinstall things but it doesn't fix it properly!
    I have contacted Adobe before and always have to go through a tedious delete stuff and reinstall, then next time it happens all over again.
    I'm really fed up with it and want to know how to fix it properly.  I am in the UK, if that makes any difference.

    This is an open forum with a mix of program users and Adobe staff, not Adobe support... you need Adobe support

  • Apperture doesn't read the RAW files from my new Camera

    Hi, Apperture doesn't read the RAW files downloaded from my new Camera Fujifilm X-S1. What options do I have to work with .RAF (Fujifilm RAW)?
    I was thinking about using RAW Converter PRO but it cannot upload the full information contained into the RAF file. Maybe there is another Program I can use until Aperture includes my camera in its DB.
    Greats!

    I've been a loyal Apple user for 20 years and have been using Aperture for the last 2 years. The X-pro came out a YEAR ago and still no x-trans sensor support and yet Lightroom by Adobe and Capture One now has RAW support.I've had to switch to the Lightroom trial as I have a busy studio in hope that Apple might bother with me but again no reply to my emails.
    If I have to purchase Lightroom I will probably not come back to Aperture which is a shame
    Apple seem to have got too big for good customer service these days unless it's an iPhone or iPad

  • Can't open raw files from a supported camera

    Hi.  I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates.  I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model.  It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera.  Any ideas?

    The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
    I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products.  You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
    If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:

  • Can't read Raw files from EOS 700D in CS4

    How do I update CS4 and Bridge with ACR 5.0 to accept .CR2 files from EOS 700D? Have tried downloading and installing ACR 5.7 but bridge still opens using 5.0. Any assistance greatly aappreciated, thanks.

    As i already mentioned support for EOS D700 starts in ACR 7.4 so ACR 5.7 won't open Raw files from this camera.
    However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
    The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
    You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

  • I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

    I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
    Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
    You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
    (Canon Server)
    I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

    The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.
