Bridge CC won't display my Sony a99 .ARW files.

Hi All,
Up until recently, Bridge displayed my .ARW files no problem. However, now I only get a generic windows 8 icon. I have updated to the latest ACW as well as made sure CC and all apps are up to date. Still no dice. Some direction would be greatly appreciated. Id rather not pull unessicary files into Lightroom.
Thank you in advance!

I don't see that camera listed. If it is really new keep looking at beta 8.4 and see if it is listed.

Import Sony RAW .arw files not automatic

I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book. All my catalog from PSE6 imported without a hitch. That's over 12000 photos with about half of them Minolta (.mrw) and Sony RAW (.arw) files. Then I decided to import the shots I had just taken from a weekend photoshoot. I plugged in my CF into the card reader and started LR. When I clicked on the IMPORT button for my CF location all I got was the message "NO PHOTOS WERE FOUND TO IMPORT". I can import the files using the manual CHOOSE FILE option but I want it to work just like PSE with auto import. From what I understand that should be the case. After a Google search I found importing Sony RAW images (.arw) was an issue in LR1, but shouldn't Aobe have fixed it by now?? Just as an aside, if I'm having this issue with .arw files, when I import the RAW images from my Minolta 7Hi I wonder if I'll have the same issue.
Since its a trail version I'm not eligible for Adobe support, so there is no help coming from there.

This is a known bug! Import the files trough "Import Photos from disk", thats easy en works fine for me! <[email protected]> schreef in bericht news:[email protected].. >I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) >and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book.

Sony A77 ARW files in LR 5.2 do not show...

Hi there,
some time ago I was "suddenly"troubled that my Sony A77 Arw files dit not show up in Lr 3 no more. I recently upgraded to 5.2 but same problem...
On the same laptop they do show up in PSE 12 strangely enough.
Maybe I overlook something but any help/suggestion is welcome as I am truly stuck. Thanks!

Hi thanks for replying.
I am using the most recent version of LR on a dell lattitute W7.
I import the files and convert them directly into DNG.
When in the library it shows meta details like in the screenshot below. But the actual immage is not shown. This counts for the ARW files but also Jpeg or Tiff files. As said before the image is shown in PSelements-12 and also in Sony sw itself(PMB) I am afraid I overlook something simple but I cannot get my fingers behind it. Thanks for any help!

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!

Win XP, PS CS2, Camera Raw 3.7 = can't open Sony A300 ARW files

Hello,
As I wrote in the title, I have windows XP with SP3, Photoshop CS2 (9.0), Camera Raw 3.7 but I can't open my ARW files in Photoshop and I can't see them in Bridge. I installed Camera Raw properly as I saw in instructions. Then I cleaned cache in Bridge but it didn't help. Then I downloaded DNG converter + Camera raw and repeated procedure. Again, nothing. I can't convert ARW to DNG format. Any suggestion? Except to install CS4 (I have PS installed on my office PC and there's no way that I could get CS4). Thanks for any help .
Have a nice day!
R.

Thanks for your answer. When I wrote that I followed the instructions I realy meant that (I'm programmer in RL so it's not so strange to me )
I removed existing file from
Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
and extracted new file into the same location.
After that I opened Adobe Bridge and purged central cache.
When I started Photoshop and took a look at plugins, I've noticed that I use camera raw 3.7, not 3.0 as it was before. So I was sure that I did it correctly.
But it didn't help.
Then I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 3.7 update from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=3588&fileID=3378 and did the same. Without any success. You write that I should use DNG converter 5.6. I didn't see that version on CS2 list, so I thought that it's not compatible.
Thanks again Jeff for your help.

Using Lightroom 4 w/ Windows 7. Recently started shooting w/ Sony camera .arw files. Lightroom cannot read the files. Loaded Adobe converter program onto the computer and this program cannot read the files either. Any suggestions?

Using Lightroom 4 w/ Windows 7. Recently started shooting w/ Sony camera that shoots .arw files. Lightroom cannot read the files. Loaded Adobe converter program onto the computer and this program cannot read the files either. Any suggestions?

Thnx again for the reply. The version of Lightroom I have is 4.0 (working w/Windows 7) This computer and all media files are kept off-line After doing more research, I downloaded DNG Converter 7.1This loaded into a .zip folder, which I am planning to install into the off-line computer andrun. Where does this folder go?
And will this set up work with my version of Lightroom?
What a pain. Makes me wanna go back to shooting .nef files for all stills

Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

Hey Jim
Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

Bridge cs5 won't display controls for output for pdf or web

hi, selected some images to create a contact sheet, but when i clicked on "output" nothing appeared in the window, as if this module didn't launch. any suggestions for a reset? i'm at a college, so it will be a pain if i have to reistall software (IT guy has to do it). nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls. any help appreciated.
mark

nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls. any help
appreciated.
In general you don't need to reinstall at first trouble. A restart holding
down option key and from the pop up menu resets all preferences to default
settings including the default workspaces.
But could you be a little more specific about your workflow, f.i. on what
output you are clicking for the module (the default workspace, the icon or
menu view-workspace-output) And does that window look as output containing
at least the content panel, preview panel and output panel with all its
settings (document-lay out-overlays-header etc).
Maybe you can provide a screenshot of what you are seeing when in output?

Bridge cs6 won't display .flv thumbnails??

any suggestions? It appears adobe doesn't offer any help...

How much homework have you done on this issue to narrow down the problem? Perhaps using one of the older formats? Perhaps the header is causing problems with generating a thumbnail?
Here are some excerpts from flv open source website http://osflash.org/flv. Hope they are relevant.
It is possible to place H.264 and AAC streams into the traditional FLV file, but Adobe strongly encourages everyone to embrace the new standard file format. There are functional limits with the FLV structure when streaming H.264 which couldn't be overcome without a redesign of the file format. This is one of the reasons Adobe is moving away from the traditional FLV file structure. Specifically dealing with sequence headers and enders is tricky with FLV streams. Adobe is still working out if it's possible to place On2 VP6 streams into the new file format.
Video needs to be in H.264 format only. MPEG-4 Part 2 (Xvid, DivX etc.) video is not supported, H.263 video is not supported, Sorenson Video is not supported. A lot of pod casts are still using MPEG-4 Part 2 so do not be surprised if you do not see any video.

Outlook 2013 Won't Display My Archived Mail PST Files

Hi there,
I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2013 from 2010. I have archived mail in PST files going back many years. I managed to open the first one I tried (Outlook 2003 archive) but noticed it wouldn't display sent items on a common search. I then clicked on the
name bar to sort by name and it did do it. Later when I went back in it wouldn't display any sent items; it just has the "thinking" dots moving at the top. I left it for 3 hours but nothing. I then closed the archive and moved the PST file to my
C drive and tried again; nothing. I opened another PST file but still nothing shows.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm thinking of going back to Outlook 2010 but would rather get 2013 to work properly.
Regards
Ross
Ross Bevin

Hi Ross,
From the description, the problem is that the archive.pst file you created in Outlook 2003 doesn't display anything when opened in Outlook 2013, right? If I've misunderstood something, would you please provide a screenshot so that we can understand this
issue more clearly?
What's the file size of the PST file? It may cause unexpected problem if the file size exceed the limit. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982577
In addition, we can try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair the PST file to check if it helps:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
Please let me know the result.

Lightroom 5 won't read my Sony A7ii raw files

Just got my Sony A7ii, shot some files and tried to import into Lightroom but it doesn't recognize the files???? They open in PS ARC just fine.

Which version of Lightroom? It should be supported in LR 5.7.1.

File Explorer won't display image in local HTML file

I'm studying HTML. I created a file, RECIPE.HTM and in it I have a tag to an image file, HOTDOG.PNG, located in the same folder. When I open the RECIPE.HTM file, it displays correctly in the browser. It will not display in the Preview Pane, however.
It gives me the warning, "Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures."
Can I enable the preview pane so it will display embedded images in html documents? I realize that on a live site this might be risky, but my files are all local. Regardless, I'd like to have the option.

Hi,
If you want to get rid of the warning, you must save the complete web page, not just the html. You have 2 options in the Save as... dialog in IE that does this:
Web page, complete (*.htm;*html)
This stores the html, and also all related resources (images, css files, js files etc) in a separate folder on your computer.
Web Archive, single file (*.mht)
This stores everything inside a single file, that can be read by IE. This stores all resources within the file as binary data.
You can refer to the link below for more details:

Just bought a Sony A7. .ARW files not being accepted in LR 5.2.

I just bought a Sony A7, but when I tried to import the files into LR (v. 5.2) it says that the preview is not available on import. I was under the impression that with LR version 5.2 I would not need a .DNG converter, but now I'm not sure what I need to do to make it work. Suggestions? Thx!

Lightroom is not part of the Creative Cloud main software group because it wasn’t part of the Creative Suite series of products, before, but if you purchased the Photographer’s Bundle at $10/month, then LR is included in that, along with PS-CC, and you would get updates to LR, that way.
There are two different “flavors” of LR, though:
The standalone that is licensed by a serial number and that you can download new versions of via http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates and this version of LR will advise of a new version whenever you start it up, at least once a day, I think. But you can also always do Help / Updates to check for a new version.
Then there is the Cloud-licensed version of LR that you license and update using the CC app on your computer. Usually the CC App will notify you of new updates reasonably often.
If you were unaware of any updates, then something isn't right with your setup.

Photoshop Elements 12 Cannot Read Sony A7Mk2 ARW File

Hello,
My Photoshop Elements 12 (v12.1) program cannot read raw riles from a Sony A7Mk2 ILCE-7M2. I have updated to the latest Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In (8.5.0.236) which purportedly supports this camera's raw files but it does not.
The error received is "Could not complete you request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw."
I tried all the troubleshooting steps on Adobe's help pages including uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe software.
One possible reason for the problem: On the page listing supported cameras, Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras, the A7Mk2 appears to be listed as "Sony ILCE-A7M2" which appears to be a mistake as the correct model is "Sony ILCE-7M2" (i.e. no "A").
Very frustrating given that I bought Elements for this specific purpose!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Given the amount of pictures I take, converting to DNG isn't really an viable option.

I believe the said Sony A7Mk2 ILCE-7M2 (adobe calls it Sony ILCE-A7M2) needs at least camera raw 8.7.1, so you can either use the 8.8 adobe dng converter or upgrade to pse 13, which would open those files directly without the need of the dng converter.
(you would need to to use Help>Updates in the pse 13 editor to get the camera raw 8.7.1 plugin)

LR 4.4, camera raw version 7.4 will not display Sony .ARW files

I have LR 4.4 on my Mac, camera raw 7.4 version. It can not display sony's ARW files (raw) from my Sony alpha 6000. Any solutions?L

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
It's Lightroom 5.4, but Camera Raw 8.4 that's needed for the camera. You probably know this, but just to clarify, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. So it will require that you use a more current version of Lightroom or the DNG converter. At this point in time it's probably smarter to use the DNG converter if you want Lightroom 6 when it is released. It is anticipated that it will be relatively soon. But who knows what that means? It could be days, or weeks, or months. So I would suggest converting to DNG in the meantime until Lightroom 6 finally surfaces.

Bridge CC won't display my Sony a99 .ARW files.
