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.

  • Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
    I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
    I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
    Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

    Hi Patrick,
    You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.

  • Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D200

    Does anyone know when Adobe will make Photoshop CS2 compatible with the new Nikon D200? Attempting to get an answer or assistance from Adobe customer service is impossible. Photoshop CS2 CANNOT (will NOT) open Nikon D200 images. I merely get "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message when attempting to open D200 images within Photoshop CS2.

    There is a lot of information on this in the Camera Raw forum on this Adobe users site.
    The upshot is that they will have it "soon" and the manufacturers do not publish a date.

    >I expected that a raw file shows up the same in every raw-converter.
    Your expectation is wrong. Every RAW converter will give you a different interpretation of the data. There is no single accepted way of interpreting RAW.
    >shouldn't that be so?
    Not really. I think what makes RAW so interesting is that you are not tied to the camera maker's interpretation of the data. This gives one far more versatility to get to your desired result. Of course, if you prefer the camera maker's interpretation, youu can use their software to develop the RAW or you can use the beta profiles in ACR/Lightroom and get
    close to identical rendering. I don't know if Adobe released any beta camera profiles for the D700 yet though.

    This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.

    So you can upgrade to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
    or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to dng format to open in CS5.
    Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    And here is a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

  • Using LR2 w/ Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7

    I am using Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7 on a Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11.
    I am about to install my upgrade to Lightroom 2. Is this a bad idea?
    I have read about some compatibility issues re Camera Raw, and I have also read about how to solve the issue of exporting the keywords.
    Will this keyword issue fix work on my system?
    What are the real-world practical implications of still having Camera Raw 3.7? I usually adjust images in Lightroom, then any further adjustment is done in Photoshop (not CR). So is the only downside going to be that if I revisit the image in Camera Raw, the adjustments will not show up? Or will it also not show up in Bridge?? And if it is only in CR, is it that the image does not have the adjustments; or does it show the adjusted image, but has just all the sliders zeroed out?
    I am hot to install LR2, but I want to make sure that I am not going to open a can of worms. And yes, I could buy PS CS4 (which would get me CR 4.5), and I would like to, but I don't have a G5. And I cannot afford to buy a new desktop computer right now.
    Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    >so is the LR version of RAW as good as the one in CS3?
    It's far better as it has local adjustments and such. Lightroom is more equivalent to the ACR in CS4. To make changes you make to images in ACR outside Lightroom show up in Lightroom, you need to sync the metadata. ACR does not write the changes to RAW images to the Lightroom database, but it writes it into xmp sidecars either right next to the RAW file or embedded into it. So Lightroom has no idea you did anything until you specifically ask it to check for updated metadata.
    Note that trying to work with both bridge/ACR and Lightroom on the same set of data will inevitably make you lose data or edits at some point as you're dealing with a synchronization issue, so be careful.

  • Downloaded camera Raw 8.7 and photoshop CS5 still won't run it

    I'm going to cry if CS5 keeps stuffing me around...Can't update programs for any of the CS5 suite won't explain why, just bought a nikon D750 and had to download camera raw 8.7 and photoshop still won't recognise it, so far I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still fails to update.  Any solutions out there

    Also I should add the updater does not work on CS5, so you must manually download and install them.

  • Is codec 1.18 compatibile with Camera Raw 6.7 and Photoshop CS5.1?

    I'm planning my purchase of a D7100, and would like to understand the software updates that would be required to process raw files in Photoshop. My current software is: Photoshop CS5.1, Camera Raw is 6.7, Codec 1.12, and Windows 7.  The Adobe website indicates that I need to upgrade the codec to 1.18. I'm OK with that. But, will that codec work with the versions of camera raw and Photoshop that I currently have?

    I'm pretty sure that's not required for adobe camera raw to work and yes i agree with your post 5, as the nikon d7100 camera raw files require camera raw 7.4 and
    since photoshop cs5 only is compatible to camera raw 6.7, photoshop cs5 won't open those d7100 files unless you use the 7.4 dng converter to convert your raw
    files to dng copies.

    Or your could update to photoshop cs6 or try lightroom 4.

  • I have cs5 for windows and can´t use camera raw (6.5) with nikon d800e

    I have photoshop cs5 and can´t use camera raw (6.5) for nikon d800e.

    You will need to update to the latest ACR ver 6.7.1 for Photoshop cs5.
    If you  go to Photoshop's Help menu > Updates..., it should be available for download.

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • I upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

    i upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

    Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop.  Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Hope this helps

  • Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should

    Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

    Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
    Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
    The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.
    Thanks again,
