Bridge CS4 no longer reading Raw files after reinstalling PS CS4

I recently uninstalled PSE8 (using Adobe installer) and was prompted to reinstall PS CS4.  I did this and now Bridge is no longer reading my Raw files.  I just get a white blank where the image should be.  I tried reinstalling Raw Converter 5.6 but it still does not work. 
I use a Canon T1i and am running Snow Leopard on my Mac.
Any ideas how I can get Bridge working again?
Thanks.

If this is the same thing as Adobe Camera Raw 5.6 (I'm assuming it is),
Of course it is.

You obviously have a bad installation of the Camera Raw plug-in.
You need to remove the ACR 5.0 plug-in, which somehow you did not remove when installing 5.6, and instal 5.6 in the correct location.  Read the Camera Raw update instructions again, very carefully.  The location is detailed exactly.  Note that you start with the ROOT LEVEL Library, NOT your user library.
This screen shot is from an earlier post and it shows Camera Raw 5.1 installed.  The path is the same for ACR 5.6.  Note that you can only have one instance of the Camera Raw plug-in installed per version of Photoshop (5.6 for CS4, 4.x for CS3, 3.x for CS2) each in its respective folder.

  • Why can PS/Bridge CS6 no longer read RAW Metadata after update?

    There was an update today and now all my .xmp files are being erased from my associated Canon 1DX RAW Images. Either the new update is deleting these files or can't read the associated metadata of the RAWs. I shoot RAW and JPEG and I do see that the info is still associated with the JPEGs.
    Also - I cannot write or modify the RAW info to assign copyright, keywords, etc.
    I am on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.9.2

    Do you have disk cleaner tools like MacKeeper/CleanMyMac installed?

  • Unable to open RAW files after reinstalling Photoshop CS4

    I recently did a system recovery to my computer due to downgrading to Windows 7; however, after I installed Design Premium back to my PC, I am not able to open RAW files in Photoshop. It prompted "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I tried to check for Photoshop updates but no updates are available. I tried re-installing Design Premium but the issue still persists.
    My system configuration is as follows:
    Windows 7 Professional x64 (Yet to install Service Pack 1, but I don't think that really matters)
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (Photoshop Version 11.0)
    Canon EOS 50D (Firmware Version 1.08)
    Anyone may have a clue on how to fix that? Thanks a lot!
    Screenshot as follows:

    When you reinstalled CS4, you  went back to the original release.
    Now you must apply all the updates to Photoshop and to  Adobe Camera Raw manually.
    You cannot rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you that you are up to date.  That updater was broken for years and years, and that was and is certainly the case with CS4.
    Adobe didn't get their updater act together until CS6.
    You also have to update the ACR plug-in manually.

  • LR no longer reading raw files

    Had the operating system of my Macbook cleared, then reinstalled my copy of LR3. After first import from Nikon 7000, received message that raw files of this camera are not compatible with my LR. Puzzling, for I have loaded on this computer with this copy of LR3 from this camera thousands of raw files.  Please help me.

    Support for Nikon 7000 came in LR3.3. If you installed LR3, you will need to update. The last update was 3.6

    After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.

    You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

  • Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

    Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

    The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2.  You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
    Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

    The file that you downloaded is a self-contained running application that installs the update on your computer. After you download that file, you need to double-click on it and follow the prompts to install it. After it has completed you will have Lightroom 4.4 installed and it will be ready to run. If you are on a Windows computer, the installation will replace your 4.1 installation. If you are on a Mac then you will have both versions installed and you will have to be sure you start the right one.

  • Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"

    I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
    I use a Mac OS X laptop
    I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
    I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
    I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
    PLEASE HELP!

    >I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
    Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
    That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
    This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
    Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
    Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
             Drains the camera battery
             Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
             Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
             Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

  • Unable to edit my raw files after uploading

    I am using PCS2 and windows XP. Canon 30-and-40D. I am just learning about photoshop and RAW files. I did go to the update 4.3 was unable to use so I down loaded DNG. I can convert the RAW files to jpig however I can't use them in bridge or photoshop as a RAW file to make the changes that I would like. After doing some reading on the forum I am still having problems. My plugin is 3.7. Is their anything in preferences that might need to be changed. Thank Joe

    Personally, I wouldn't dismiss the idea of the DNG converter, at least until you get Lightroom and are comfortable with it. Just download the latest version and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw images. You will still have your original raw images, and the image data in the DNG files is exactly the same image data. You can get identical results with the DNG file. And you will be able to use ACR 3.7 just as you always have been able to do.
    Then, Lightroom is something that you can learn at your own pace. As you become more comfortable with it you will be able to work with the DNG files that you started working on with ACR 3.7. I think starting with the DNG converter would provide you with a good transition as you become familiar and comfortable with the new controls and the new interface in Lightroom.

  • 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.

  • Hello- I am a Canon photographer.  I use Bridge (CS5) to process my raw files to jpegs.  I am taking on a second photographer who shoots Nikon (D800) and i am not currenty able to see or process his images.  Can you please help?  thankyou!

    According to Adobe:
    D800
    NEF
    6.7, 7.1
    4.1
    D800E
    NEF
    6.7, 7.1
    4.1
    The fact that they have 2 versions of ACR means that initial support for the D800 was added in 6.7  but that complete support was finalized in 7.1 (the 4.1 in the chart is for Lightroom)
    I'm not sure that this means there are missing features, but rather refinements and optimized settings were added in 7.1
    However, ACR 7.1 requires CS6.
    As Dag mentioned, you can also use the latest version of DNG Converter to convert the D800 files to DNGs which will be able to be opened in older versions of ACR.
    The DNG converter only works on folders of files, not individual files. So just select the folder and convert. All the files in the folder will be converted.
