Camera RAW, Photoshop CS, Nikon D50

I have Photoshop CS (not CS1 or 2 or 3, just CS; i.e. v. 8.0) and my camera is a Nikon D50. I have tried installing the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in, versions 2.0 and 2.3, but if I try to open a RAW image from my camera (i.e. in NEF format), I get an error message: 'not the right kind of document'. Can anyone please advise?

I'm afraid I have a new question. With the Adobe DNG converter (v. 5.3) and ACR 2.4, I can now open .NEF files from my Nikon D50 camera in Photoshop CS (v.8.0) and make adjustments to exposure, contrast, etc. But I have a problem with image size. As soon as I convert the RAW (.NEF) file to .dng, it becomes very large, and if I open it in PS and save it, it becomes huge. Here is an example, starting with a particular .NEF file straight from my camera:
.NEF: 5.4 MB
.dng: 11.9 MB
Saved in PS as:
.raw: 34.5 MB
.psd: 34.5 MB
.tif: 34.5 MB
It seems that I cannot save the image in any of these formats as a JPEG in PS.
At that rate, I shall rapidly run out of hard disk space, and even if I get images off my hard disk by burning them to CD, I should only be able to store about 20 photographs on one CD.
It seems that I cannot save a converted image as a JPEG in PS itself, but if I use GraphicConverter to convert the image, saved in one of the formats discussed above, to JPEG at maximum quality, it reduces to 4.2 MB. Is this my only solution to being able to store a reasonable number of photos? It seems rather cumbersome. I should be most grateful for information as to why the file gets so big, and what I can do about it.

Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
You could use the free DNG Converter.

Camera Raw Profile for Nikon P7800

Adobe Bridge CC

In Camera Raw, using a Nikon P7800 created NRW raw file.
Camera Calibration | Camera Profile
Only Matrix is available.
In Camera Raw, using a Canon G16 created CR2 raw file.

Why does the Nikon NRW raw file only have Matrix as a Camera Profile
while the Canon CR2 raw file has 6 different Camera Profiles?
Thanks in advance.

I reported the lack of Adobe Standard or any other Camera profiles for the P7800, 3 months ago and nothing changed with the final release of ACR 8.4 or LR 5.4, but perhaps by that time, new-camera support for ACR 8.4 and LR 5.4 had already been determined, but if it's not in ACR 8.5/LR 5.5 then someone has dropped the ball:

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

Canon 70D et Camera Raw (Photoshop CS5)

J'ai acheté un canon EOS 70D. Je n'arrive pas à utiliser Camera Raw (Photoshop CS5) avec cet appareil. Can you help me ?

Photoshop CS5 is not going to be able to directly open your raw files.
Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
To double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Since your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

When will Camera Raw support the Nikon D4S?

You could try that 'Release candidate' version of the DNG converter.

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

The asterisk next the model number on the download page linked above means there is preliminary support, which usually means the camera is supported by pretending it is an earlier model with similar sensor. This can lead to color issues, so while you can convert your NEFs to DNGs with the DNG Converter, and open them with PSE12, now, save your NEFs and be prepared to revisit those pictures once the final release of ACR 8.3 occurs probably in the next few weeks, with finalized support.

Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D40

Can't open camera raw images from my Nikon D40 in Photoshop CS2.
I downloaded the camera raw plug-in (3.7) but still cannot open the images.
Many problems:
1) I don't have the folder described in the instructions Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-ins>CS2?File Formats. My plug-ins are located inside my Photoshop folder. Even after I put the camera raw 3.7 in the plug-ins folder, it doesn't show up under "About Plug-ins."
2) I don't have an NEF plug-in anywhere. I searched the places mentioned in forums as well as a my entire computer.
Help!

Just one note of clarification that you need to understand. You do NOT have to match the version of the DNG converter with your version of Photoshop. You always want to use the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert images from all of the most recent cameras that ACR supports. So, currently (as of today) you want to be using DNG converter version 4.4.1. It will create DNG files that will be compatible with any version of ACR back to version 2.4 which works with Photoshop CS.
The other thing to verify is what version of Camera Raw is installed on your computer. You want to make sure you are using version 3.7, because that is the last version that was created for Photoshop CS2. If you are using a Windows computer, open Photoshop and then go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once; if it is listed more than once you have a problem. A dialog will appear that will indicate what version is installed. If it is anything other than ACR 3.7, then you don't have the latest version available.
Be aware that there will never be another update of ACR for Photoshop CS2. But if you keep track of the updates and always keep the latest version of the DNG converter on your computer you will have support for every camera that is supported by ACR.
I don't know if any of this information is helpful to you. I just want to help you understand how to integrate DNG files into your workflow.

I reinstalled photoshop CS5 on my new laptop . I'm unable to update camera Raw to add Nikon D7000 camera .

I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 extened on my new Laptop . I had deactivated and un installed the program from my pc first .I cannot update camera raw to include my Nikon D7000 camera . I now have hundreds of NEF Raw files which I cannot open in Photoshop .

Hi
Thanks for the info . The problem is it appears to me that you can only convert to dng while importing from the camera in bridge . My files have been imported and I can't see how to convert . As adobe don't support CS5 I think I'm snookered .
Thanks

How to change preference setting in Photoshop CC 2014 to not automatically lauch Adobe Camera Raw when opening Nikon raw .NEF file

When I launch Photoshop CC 2014 and then open a .nef raw file it launches Adobe Camera Raw and I click Open Image, then I "Convert to Smart Object" then launch Filter > Camera Raw Filter. Is there a preference somewhere for raw files that just bring you right into Adobe Photoshop without stopping at Camera Raw first? Thanks!

Gene,
Ah! Okay, makes sense now. I just learned tonight that some features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter. One being Lens Profile Correction. So it makes sense to have have Camera Raw open right off the bat to make some tweaks first then continue on. I found the below on the Adobe website. Thank you so much!!
Note: The following features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter (that are normally available in Camera Raw), primarily because they don’t make sense in the filter context: Workflow options and preferences, crop and straighten tools, rotation tools (rotate left/right buttons), snapshots, camera and lens profile corrections.

Adobe camera raw and the nikon D80 in photoshop CS version 8

How can I open RAW files from my nikon D80 in photoshop CS version 8 ? At the moment I have to open and edit my RAW files through Nikon View NX and then convert the files to Jpeg, dump them in a folder and then re-open them as Jpegs in photoshop, it's a very frustrating process so I'd really appreciate it if anyone can tell me how I can open them straight into photoshop, I really can't take this cross platform editing !!!! Thanks

Camera Raw Update for Nikon D610???

Am new to Photoshop CS6. Just got a new camera, the Nikon D610 and now see that Camera Raw does not support the 610. What do I do? Is there an update?
Thank you.

Yes, it is more than 'a bit tricky' for D600 owners. We have two in my camera club, plus others we know about among PSNZ members. One buddy's camera has been back to Nikon so many times it can find its own way in the dark! She has had a D610 replacement for a while now.
All DSLRs accumalate sensor spots over time. My 1DsMK3 is a terror for it. I usually work carrying both the 1DsMK3 with 24-70mm f2.8L, and a 1DMK4 with 70-200mm f2.8L IS, so don't have to change lenses on the big sensor camera. But I can still recon on having to clean both cameras after a long weekend gig.
I rarely need to wet clean though, although I did when the cameras were new because of grease and oil from the mirror hinges. My secret weapon nowadays is an illuminated loupe so I can see where the dust is. Then I just fish it out with an Arctic Butterfly static brush thingie.
There was a great YouTube video for the D600 where he left it with an interval timer running, so it took a lot of shots without actually doing anything. He put the exposures together in a time lapse, and you could see the spots build before your eyes.

Looking for the camera raw plugin for Nikon d3100

Hello!
I'm familiar with how to install a camera raw plugin for photoshop. However, I've had a difficult time finding the correct download link for the Nikon d3100 for ps cs4. Will you please point me in the right direction with a link or otherwise? Thanks so much!

ACR - Adobe Camera Raw versions are specific to the version of Photoshop you have.
They don't provide updates to your version for cameras that were released much later.
You need to download the LATEST version of DNR Converter and use this to convert a FOLDER that contains your D3100 files to DNGs which then can be opened in your older version of ACR for Photoshop CS4.
The Adobe DNG Converter, a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG raw file.

Opening Camera Raw Files from Nikon D700 to CS2

Hi there! I recently upgraded from the Nikon D200 to the D700. I haven't managed to upgrade to CS5 though! Can anyone help me, I'm trying to open my Camera Raw files in CS2, but I can't. What version of the upgrade do I need for the Camera Raw and where do I find it!
Many thanks!
Carla

The last version that is compatible with Photoshop CS2 is Camera Raw 3.7. It is available from the download site. If you are not going to upgrade your Photoshop then it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw files. Then you will be able to open those DNG files in ACR 3.7.
