Bridge destroys raw images

Need help asap with this issue!
On Sunday I photographed using a friend's camera (Canon 70D) with a 16gb memory card. I always upload my images on my iMac using a card reader.
As I uploaded these images on Tuesday, all my raw files became destroyed in Bridge! They are now just white files (with a little bit of luck you can make out part of the subject here or there...). The jpegs are not affected.
Yesterday evening I photographed using my own 60D with a 8gb memory card in my photography class. I just uploaded the images and the very same thing happened!
When I upload the photos directly in Lightroom there is no damage.
I know there have been issues before with Bridge and CR2 files. How can I solve this problem? I've checked some of my older files and those don't give any problems. Problems started this week. I'm using the CC versions of Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom with the latest updates.

Ok, it sounds like you installed the dng converter and not the 8.3 camera raw plugin.
Do you see a shortcut on your desktop or Start>All Programs menu for the Adobe Application Manager?
If so, turn your internet on and double click on that shortcut and see if that finds the camera raw 8.3 update.
Sometimes the Adobe application Manager needs to be updated and it doesn't do that when using Help>Updates.

  • Aperture Destroying Raw Images!?

    There are countless posts or threads about this particular issue but none have seemed to garner much concern. These threads all seem to mention their cameras. I have found 2 to 3 different brands including NIKON, CANON, PENTAX. So, I have concluded from this... ITS NOT THE CAMERA!!! It is something in Apertoys Raw capabilities.
    Raw images are having some sort of "PRESET" added to them after import. What is causing this? How can it be fixed, and why has apple not responded to this?
    I have seen many helpful responses to some of these threads but nothing close to an answer other than maybe countless hours of troubleshooting. Although this seems to be a fantastic place for helpful individuals and I am grateful for Apple giving us this forum, one question still looms?
    This is directed to Apple and Aperture engineers: How do I know as a consumer, that or if you people whom wrote this software, acknowledge that there is a flaw or possible bug that you are aware of that NEEDS attention? The software is fairly inexpensive when you compare it to my financial losses while using it!
    That being said: Anyone have any helpfull suggestions?

    Thank you CalxOddity! This is occurring with two of my cameras D70 and D5000. This is an exact example of what is happening in kb8wfh's thread. I am referencing this thread because of the utube video. He is shooting with a Pentax but this is down to the T what I am experiencing. I have No presets applied. Thank you in advance!
    I have had a huge issue since upgrading to 3.3.2 and the upgrade to the RAW decoder. I shoot Pentax platforms (K-7, K-200 & K-x). I only shoot RAW and this problem NEVER happened before the Aperture update/RAW update. I stop the automatic processing, otherwise, it goes through each photo and darkens and shift the colors significantly. If I open a previous library (ones I created even years ago) it will preprocess the master images AND all the subsequent versions - Thus I refuse to even open my old libraries for Aperture ruining my work.
    Here is a brief view of exactly what it is doing:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VTMedUrhVo&feature=share&list=UU2vsk3mVVJnIJ83v1 rFo7aw
    Also, when Aperture "Processes" the image, it is clear it that it as a JPG master/original image. The data simply isn't there anymore to use adjustments like "recovery." When you try and do so, it just dulls/grays The entire image instead of adjusting the highlights.
    I need to know where I can get previous version of the RAW engine and install it into Aperture. How can this be done?
    Apple really screw this thing up...infuriating since it was working just fine before. My livelihood is on hold because the app I use and am bound to has turned form a pro tool to one of the iToy applications

  • How do I get Bridge recognize raw images from 5dIII & 7d?

    I reinstalled bridge on a computer that is running Windows xp.  Have had no trouble with these cameras raw recognition until the reinstall.
    Now I get the following message:  "Camera Raw cannot open this file.  If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help>Updates..."
    Help>Updates shows that everything is up to date.

  • Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

    I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge.  When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes.  Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

    My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
    What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
    First paragraph - so is mine.
    Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
    Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
    I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong,  I think my problem is now solved.

  • Can Bridge destroy images?

    Hi!
    I have an image which lately is being rendered very unsharp when opened in Bridge. Fortunately,
    it is OK when opened in ACR. What has happened? Can Bridge destroy images? I'm scared.
    The image is a Fuji Raw. Bridge that came with PS CS3 10.0.1, Mac 10.4.11.
    Best regards -Hening.

    If it's OK in ACR and Photoshop, then it's probably a corrupted cache in Bridge. No big deal. :)
    Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge (
    NOT
    through Bridge preferences!).
    Make absolutely sure you are updated to Bridge
    2.1.1.9. Earlier versions of Bridge could indeed destroy files. But if the image opens in ACR, then it's just the cache.

  • Can't open RAW Nikon files (NEF) using PS3 10.0 running 10.6.8 , think there is a conflict with camera Raw plug-in. Can't open raw images in bridge or photoshop.

    I think I may have a Camera Raw plug-in conflict or plug in may be in the wrong place. In both PS3 and Bridge Nikon raw files (NEF) will not open. I've noticed that in photoshop in the pull down menu-about plug-in, I have 2 Camera Raw (s) listed, getting info one is 4.0, the other 4.6.0.30. It appears that my files and .xmp are 4.0 just by searching for 'Camera Raw' either 4. or 4.6 in spotlight. nothing is listed in spotlight under camera raw 4.6, but all my images are listed in the spotlight if I search for camera raw 4.0! I can not open either in Bridge or Photoshop CS3 I just receive the error message 'could not complete this request because photoshop does not reconize this type of file'. any help would this is greatfully appreciated. Thanks

    Well if you have a fairly new Nikon camera PS CS3 will not have the proper version of ACR to support that camera.
    You could use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNGs or you can update PS to a newer version that does have support for newer cameras or you could buy Adobe Lightroom V4 which also has support for the newer Nikon cameras.

  • Can't open raw images in CS2 after install, can't see thumbnails in Bridge

    I hope you guys can help.
    We just purchased an Acer laptop computer, picked it up yesterday. Hubby is going to use this strictly for working on his pictures when out of town. He didn't even plan to hook it up to the internet. It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 2G of RAM, 120G of hard drive and a CD/DVD player/recorder. I installed Photoshop CS2, Nik Sharpener, Neatimage noise remover and Huey Pro Calibrater onto the computer last night.
    When I opened Photoshop & Bridge, opened a DVD of some RAW images, Bridge would not show the thumbnails and I couldn't open any in Photoshop. In Bridge all that showed was a light blue box with CR2 over it and the file name below for each image. When I tried to open one I got a "Can not complete process due to a program error" message. I did open a jpeg image into Photoshop from the ones included in my documents and had no trouble with that. I didn't acutally try to do anything with it so I'm not sure that any of the options in Photoshop actually work, although they were all active with the jpeg image.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to correct these two problems?
    Thanks for any help I can get, Linda

    Thanks John,
    I actually went into Photoshop and ran the update. This gave me the current Camera Raw file 3.7 and an update for Bridge. I downloaded it and it is installed in Photoshop. This gave me thumbnails for the images taken on our Canon Rebel XTI, but not the Canon 30D. I went to the Camera Raw Update page on adobe.com. Found the 30D back in update 3.4. Shouldn't the latest update have all the previous updates included. As I understand the instructions, you are just supposed to replace the older version of Camera Raw with the newer. Will I have to install each update in order to get the support for my camera?
    This leads me to another question, I downloaded the 3.4 and was following the instructions for installing it. It says to go to My Computer, open C, or disk with files installed, then navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS-2\File Formats. My computer wasn't exactly like this, but I did get to the plug-in for Photoshop CS-2. After getting there, move existing Camera Raw.8bi to another location. Copy the Camera Raw Plug-in from the download into the same folder. See why is seems that the current version should have all previous updates?
    Anyway, got to the Plug-in file and there is no Camera Raw file in it. I went through all the files in Adobe Program Files that looked like it might have it in it; bridge, ImageReady, and shared files. No Camera Raw to be found. I did open Photoshop up and double checked that it was showing up in the Plug-in list. Yep, it was there. Why can't I find it in the Program Files?
    Sorry this is so long, I wanted to check everything I could before replying. Sure hope I can get this straightened out. Linda

  • Display of .CRW (Raw) images in Bridge CS6

    I have recently upgraded from PS CS3 direct to PS CS6. I have an issue with the display of raw images taken by my Canon PowerShot S70 camera (.CRW format). Many of the portrait-style images are displayed as landscape. This appears to be random as not all portrait images are affected. I did not have this problem with CS3. I have discussed the matter with the Adobe helpdesk which suggested various remedies (purging cache, resetting preferences) to no avail. They came to the conclusion that PS CS6 does not fully support the file structure generated by this camera in that it cannot detect from the file data that it should be displayed as a portrait image rather than as a landscape image. I have two issues with this. Firstly, if true, it means that PS CS6 has taken a slightly backward step as far as I'm concerned and secondly, it does not answer the random nature of the incorrect display.
    Obviously I want these images to be displayed correctly. I can rotate them in Bridge/PS manually, but I have a lot of them scattered over many folders and it is a task I would rather be automated.
    This issue also occurs in Windows 7 Home Premium, but as I was using Win 7 HP with CS3 without this display issue, it appears to be an Adobe problem as it only occurred after the upgrade to CS6.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how have you solved it? Is there a fix for it?
    Many thanks
    Richard
    Richard Malpas

    I have just checked my .CRW files and realise that the display problem is not random, all .CRW images shot in portrait mode are displayed as landscape. This appears to be an Adobe issue and means that the helpdesk was right - PS CS6 does not fully support this type of Raw file.

  • How do I open a raw image with the Photoshop raw plug in as opposed to the Bridge raw plug-in.

    I read in a book on adobe raw that it is often useful to open an image at the same time with the adobe camera raw bridge plug in and the Photoshop camera raw plug in.
    I can open a raw image in photoshop but I suspect I am not actually getting access to the camera raw plug in as none of the controls present in the bridge raw plug seem to be available from within Photoshop.
    Of course I can access bridge and the bridge raw plug in by opening bridge from within Photoshop but this is not what I want to do.  I would like to open the image using the photoshop raw plug in not the bridge plug in.
    Clueless . . . and confused.

    Thanks for the discussion.  It is interesting.  Let me clarify a bit regarding my issue.
    I am using Mountain Lion OSX on a mac, of course, and CS6.  I have been using Aperture, a piece of Apple Software similar to Light Room to organize my images, opening them from Aperture in Photoshop to edit them, as I am both familiar with Photoshop and like the way it does things better than Aperture.  I recently started using CS6 and working with Adobe Camera raw 7, which I think is the version that comes with CS6.  All the info I can get from the web site, including a very nice tutorial from Adobe on camera raw, simply tells me to open it from Bridge.  When I do this, I get a nice set of sliders and other adjustments specifically associated with Adobe Camera Raw and the camera I am using.
    I can open a file in Photoshop using the method SkillRooster suggests and, sure enough, it opens it with the camera raw plug-in (if I simply open the image by double clicking on it it opens in photoshop, no plug-in).  If I then go to bridge and open it from there, I don't get a second instance of Camera raw, it simply points me at the instance opened through Photoshop.
    However, when I open a raw image in Photoshop from Aperture  (raw images open with no problem) I simply get the Photoshop interface, not the camera raw plug-in, the same as if I had double clicked on the image to open it from outside of Aperture.  I am trying to figure out if there is some way to open an image from Aperture in Photoshop so that it opens in the camera raw plug-in.  One possibility I could imagene is to open it in Photoshop and from there open it in the plug-in.  The only thing I see regarding this in Photoshop is a menu item that lets me close the image and open Bridge, which doesn't help me with my Aperture issue.  I could decide to switch to bridge, but with the thousands of images I now have in Aperture, this would be quite a bit of work.  I may just have to work with both going forward.
    The root of my original question comes from something I recently read in a book by Bruce Fraser on Camera Raw which is excellent, but it focues on CS 5.5 as he died before being able to update it.  In that book he describes a trick he uses where he opens the raw image in a plug-in in Bridge and then opens it a second time using a plug-in in Photoshop.  This give him a chance to compare adjustments between the two open images.  As I mentioned above, when I try to do this by starting with Photoshop and then going to Bridge, it points me at the same instance.  I can't open it in Bridge and then Photoshop since once it is open in Bridge, it won't let me into Photoshop without closing the image in Bridge.  I was thinking there might be something in Fraser's method that would help me with my Aperture issue, but can't reproduce what he describes.
    Perhaps this was possible in CS5.5 but no longer  in CS6.
    Another work around I can imagine is to do all my raw editing from Bridge and then save the file as a DNG file in Aperture.  I suspect that after that, I am stuck with doing any more raw editing using the Aperture camera raw funcions, which are a bit lacking compared with Adobe Camera Raw.
    Hope I am being clear here about my dilemma.  Any help would be welcomed.

  • How to view the Nikon D4 RAW images in Bridge CS3

    I am in the process of buying the lattest Nikon camera the D4. However, I am still using CS3. I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge? Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?

    I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge?
    No, according to this overview:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    the earliest support for Nikon D4 is ACR 6.7, the latest and last update of the Camera raw plug in that came with PSCS5
    Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?
    You can use the DNG route, meaning downloading the free DNG converter from Adobe and those DNG files will be viewable in CS3 and you can work with them.
    Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=106
    While it is none of my business I just wonder why you buy a 5K $ state of the art top dSLR from 2012 and still use an 'old' piece of software released in 2007 to try and get the most out of it.
    And sadly enough CS3 Bridge is known to be the worst version ever, you sure will benefit from at least CS5 but CS6 offers the new 2012 Process in ACR.

  • After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although

    After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although Photoshop does. When I try to open them in Bridge, I receive a popup message that says that it "requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Obviously, I have done so hundreds of times since installing and activating CS6. What gives, and how do I fix it?

    Things have now become significantly worse!
    Now when I try to open anything from Bridge, or try to open PhotoShop at all, I receive a popup that gives me 2 options: 1) License PS CC, or 2) continue with my trial of PS CC.
    So far as I know, I have not downloaded any trial of anything from Adobe in many months. In fact, I have no interest in PS CC. I wish simply to use PS CS6.
    I have uninstalled my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, of which my PS CS is a part, and reinstalled it but I still am blocked from using my properly licensed programs.
    Please advise.
