Camera Raw images unable to open in bridge or CS6?!

I am unable to open my raw images from bridge to ps cs6. The error comes up as 'Camera Raw Cannot open this file'. I have tried downloading the latest camera raw updates and patch installers, but nothing still works. Please help!

We're going to need a bit more information than that.
Are you using ACR 8.8? Press F in Camera Raw to check the version in the title bar.
Which camera make/model produced the raw files?
How did you get the files onto your computer (connection & software)?
Have you tried the camera manufacturer's own software to open the files?

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?

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.

Photoshop CS3 Camera Raw Update: unable to open Nikon D5200 Raw files

I have a Nikon D5200, so I cannot view my raw files (.NEF) files in photoshop CS3 and I downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 update, and installed it using the manual installation instructions found here: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 4.6 update. After restarting photoshop and attempting to open a .NEF file, I still receive the error "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. I have also tried previous updates (4.5 and 4.4.1) and they have also not worked. How can I fix this?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The D5200 is supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and later. Older versions of Camera Raw cannot read D5200 Raw files.
Raw 7.3 is only compatible with CS6, CC or CC 2014
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
So you'll never be able to open Raw D5200 files in CS3.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Choices: buy CS6 or join the Cloud.
Free alternative: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all D5200 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

CS5 open as - camera raw, jpegs, unable to open multiples

Is there a way to open more than one Jpeg at a time with the "open as- camera raw"
option?
thanks

Another option would be to set up Photoshop to open every JPEG through Camera Raw:
Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw..., set it to open JPEGs.
Then drag multiple JPEGs to Photoshop (or open multiples through File - Open).

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,
Rob

Camera raw image opens with white blocked-out area on photo

I have never seen or heard of this before but 2 of the 100+ images I have opened, in bridge AND in PS, both open with a white blocked-out area covering most of the image, like it had trouble loading. It did not take long or seem different from any other image I opened. And the part of the photo I CAN see looks to be great quality!?

I transferrd almost 200 images from the camera card to my laptop...put the card in the computer and transferred that way. All but 2 images are just fine. Every image was treated the same. I use Photoshop cs5...Here is the image (I put the gray block over her face, I am talking about the white area..) this is how PS opened it from bridge.

Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.

RAW image is being opened in all Adobe programs cropped from left and right!

I'm already asking this in After Effects community, but this problem is happening in Lightroom as well, and Photoshop.
My 5Dm3 RAW images are being opened cropped. But Windows Photo Preview opens them completely.
Please help if you can.

Geoff the 5D MKIII was introduced about the time of the bug report now marked as "Implemented." I just found this post by Eric Chan on the Photoshop Family site from six months ago and it appears it isn't "implemented" for older camera models, including the Canon 5D MKIII.
Eric Chan (Camera Raw Engineer) 6 months ago
Unfortunately, we can't change the existing 5D3 support (even though technically we know how to do it) because that would post a backward compatibility issue for the images that folks have already shot. In particular, many 5D3 images that have already been cropped by the user in ACR/Lr would suddenly appear to have a different crop, and that would be far worse. My suggestion: If you have a 5D3, don't set the in-camera crop (always leave it to full 3:2 aspect ratio).
Victoria Brampton suggests (15 days ago) using the DNG Recover Edges plugin-in, and stop using in-camera crop settings.

When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
So, your choice is either :
- to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
- to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

Weird (old) camera raw dialogue box when opening .RAW files

Hi guys,
I am getting a strange dialogue box (attached image) when I open my RAW files.
These RAW files are produced by a Fuji SP-3000 scanner.
If I scan one negative, two files are produced — a RAW file and a .LI file (image also attached).
When I punch in some pixels into the dialogue box, the image then opens and is just a blurred mess of pixels (actually, the patterns are kinda cool) but they're not the image I'm after.
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this dialogue box and possibly how to solve it and get an actual image.
One of the main problems I think I have is that I don't actually know the pixel dimensions of the image to begin with, so I am stabbing in the dark when I punch in pixel values.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

See here, for instance:
Photoshop Raw format
Photoshop Raw format
The Photoshop Raw format is a flexible file format for transferring images between applications and computer platforms. This format supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images with alpha channels, and multichannel and Lab images without alpha channels. Documents saved in the Photoshop Raw format can be of any pixel or file size, but they cannot contain layers.
The Photoshop Raw format consists of a stream of bytes describing the color information in the image. Each pixel is described in binary format, with 0 representing black and 255 white (for images with 16‑bit channels, the white value is 65535). Photoshop designates the number of channels needed to describe the image, plus any additional channels in the image. You can specify the file extension (Windows), file type (Mac OS), file creator (Mac OS), and header information.
In Mac OS, the file type is generally a four-character ID that identifies the file—for example, TEXT identifies the file as an ASCII text file. The file creator is also generally a four-character ID. Most Mac OS applications have a unique file creator ID that is registered with the Apple Computer Developer Services group.
The Header parameter specifies how many bytes of information appear in the file before actual image information begins. This value determines the number of zeroes inserted at the beginning of the file as placeholders. By default, there is no header (header size = 0). You can enter a header when you open the file in Raw format. You can also save the file without a header and then use a file-editing program, such as HEdit (Windows) or Norton Utilities® (Mac OS), to replace the zeroes with header information.
You can save the image in an interleaved or non-interleaved format. If you choose interleaved, the color values (red, green, and blue, for example) are stored sequentially. Your choice depends on requirements of the application that will open the file.
Note: A Photoshop Raw image is not in the same file format as a camera raw image file from a digital camera. A camera raw image file is in a camera-specific proprietary format that is essentially a “digital negative,” with no filtering, white balance adjustments, or other in-camera processing.

Thank you.

Raw support is version specific. There is no way to simply force install a new version of ACR into an older Photoshop. You need to consider upgrading or use the DNG converter.
