Camera Raw Plug-in doesn't work

I have tried numerous times to install the latest camera raw plug in i have photoshop cs5 but towards end of downloading the plugin it fails can anyone help?
photoshop also states : Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
So i went to adobe to download the plugin but it doesn't work.

That may be the problem yes it offers a few raw formats ill list them :
raw only
raw and L
S raw and M
i am using jpeg mode and raw mode so the files are Cr2 would that be my problem does it have to be purely raw files only?

  • Camera Raw 5.7 doesn't work with MAC Elements 6

    RAW 5.7 doesn't work on Elements 6.
    5.6 works fine, placing the plugin in the /PLUG-INS/CS3/FILE FORMATS and starting Elements 6 and trying to open a raw file says
    Unable to use camera raw plugin
    It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements
    I have read the 5.7 raw read-me and it definitely says that it is compatible with MAC Elements 6 could somebody confirm this?

    Thank you, another case of big corporations screwing over the little guy. You want the latest update - you have to upgrade your complete software package. Wouldn't it be nice if they made the plugin compatible with the products as stated in their documentation and then posted a note saying that further updates will not be compatible?
    After all, windows users got a version 7, us poor MAC users didn't!
    Anyway thanks for the answers.

  • Lightroom Camera Raw Plug-in won't work with Panasonic RW2

    I've just upgraded to Lightroom 5.7 (from 4) essentially to access the RW2 RAW files from my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 (DMC-TZ70) as this camera is supposed to be supported by the camera raw plug-in (link).
    Basically I got fed up of messing with the DNG converter and wanted inbuilt support for these files.
    However having installed 5, upgraded to 5.7 (& rebooted) it still won’t read these RW2 files - the import tells me that the RW2 format is not supported.
    According to the About info I've got Lightroom 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7, installed. However I have download the camera raw plug-in 8.8 installer (link), copied it to the Lightroom directory and run it, but it's still saying Camera Raw 8.7 in the About screen and I still can’t access these files.
    What am I doing wrong?

    The link you posted had all the details to indicate that your camera is not currently supported by any release of Lightroom. It is only currently supported by Camera Raw version 8.8 which is a plug-in that cannot be used by Lightroom (and only by Photoshop). Adobe's free DNG Converter can be used to convert your RW2 files to DNG which is supported by any Lightroom release. Download it here:

  • Camera Raw 4.4 doesn't work when hosted in Bridge

    How stupid is THAT!? ACR 4.4, hosted in Bridge, gets me black images with a white pattern for raw files and solid-black images for DNG files. So are thumbnails displayed in Bridge. Switching back to ACR 4.3.1 resolves the issue. So does hosting ACR 4.4 in Photoshop. Strangely, a raw file opened with ACR 4.4 in Photoshop now offers three profiles (rather than one): "ACR 2.4," "ACR 4.4," and "Embedded." What is "Embedded" supposed to mean? And why does ACR 4.4 in Bridge, displaying a solid-black image, offer "Embedded" only but neither "ACR 2.4" nor "ACR 4.4"?
    Anyone experiencing the same problems? For now, I am back to ACR 4.3.1 :(
    Windows XP SP2, Minolta MRW files (and DNG files created from those via DNG Converter 4.3.1) from Konica-Minolta 7D.

    Yes, sure. Here we go:
    1st screenshot---A folder with MRW files. The files have been augmented with metadata a few weeks ago, using Bridge with ACR 4.3.1 installed. The XMP files are there along with the MRW files. Please note that with ACR 4.4 installed, Bridge now says, "Supports XMP: no". Also note that Bridge also grayes out the "Open in Camera Raw ..." instruction from the menu. The cache for the current folder has been purged and re-built; so has the entire cache (have tried both).
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_01.jpg
    2nd screenshot---A folder with DNG files. The files have been created from the MRW files in the previous screenshot a few weeks ago, using Adobe DNG Converter 4.3.1. The small thumbnails are there, but the preview window shows nothing but a solid-black box. Note that Bridge recognizes the XMP support here. Also note that exposure data and focal length are displayed under each thumbnail (not so in the 1st screenshot, even though the preferences are the same). Bridge will allow to open these files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge (not visible in this particular screenshot). By the way, DNG files are way too pink---they always were (i. e. it's not an ACR-4.4-specific problem).
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_02.jpg
    3rd screenshot---The plot thickens! Another folder of MRW files. This is the folder I was playing with yesterday. For some reason, it does display the thumbnails properly now---it didn't yesterday (cache not yet re-built after switching from ACR 4.3.1 to ACR 4.4; I took this screenshot before the other two above) but the preview window already is defective. So is XMP support.
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_03.jpg
    4th screenshot---This is the same folder as in screenshot #3 after re-building the local folder's cache. Unlike yesterday (and unlike screenshot #1 ... go figure!), the thumbnails are there but all of sudden, most of them show a red "MF" (which I HATE!), and the preview windows shows an image but in a distorted aspect ratio. The metadata as well as XMP support are still missing. The "MF" seems to indicate manual focus (and indeed I did focus most of these shots manually)---but I detest this obtrusive way of indication! I never saw this before in any of my shots. Please make it go away!
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_04.jpg
    5th screenshot---This is the same folder as in screenshot #4 after purging the whole cache entirely. Now the preview window shows the proper aspect ratio. The metadata and the XMP support are still missing. And Bridge won't allow to open this file in Camera Raw (even though it does recognize the Document Type as Camera Raw Image).
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_05.jpg
    6th screenshot---A folder with DNG files (too pink again). The files have been created from the MRW files in the previous screenshot a few weeks ago, using Adobe DNG Converter 4.3.1. Similar to screenshot #2 and unlike the respective folder containing the MRW files (see screenshots #3, #4, and #5), metadata and XMP support are there, the preview windows shows a solid-black box, and it's possible to open the file in Camera Raw hosted in Bridge.
    See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_06.jpg
    7th screenshot---Now this is what happens when actually opening a DNG file with Camera Raw hosted in Bridge. You'll get a solid-black image. Note the histogram that is reflecting a solid-black image, too. Also note the contents of the profile selection combo-box which offers "Embedded" only but neither "ACR 2.4" nor "ACR 4.4" (the Konica-Minolta Dynax 7D is supported since ACR 2.4). In contrast to this, ACR 4.4 will open both MRW files and their DNG files just fine when hosted in Photoshop.

  • CS2 camera raw plug-in no longer working

    Issue description
    Summary: I currently have CS2 installed on my Dell desktop. In September, I noticed that I could no longer open raw files and I looked on the Adobe site, found the plug-in, downloaded it and all was well.
    Just the other day I went to use more raw files and this is the message that I'm receiving:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    This is the same message that I had received in September before downloading the plug-in.
    I have been back on the site, have downloaded the CS2 security update, the plug-in (as the number seemed to have changed from 3.5 to 3.7), and the DNG converter and nothing is working.
    If anyone knows what I can do, I would be very grateful...

    > Should I be looking for the earliest version of the plug-in and not the latest?
    Of course not! That would be the ultimate nonsense.
    You should be looking for the latest one that will run with your version of Photoshop: 2.4 for CS, 3.7 for CS2, 4.6 for CS3 and 5.2 for CS4.
    Then look up in the tech note whether the camera is supported by the latest version of ACR that can run with your older version of ACR.
    If you had been able to open raw files from a D300 in ACR it means you have to have had a Nikon plug-in installed, and it was the Nikon plug-in you were using without realizing it.
    You will
    NEVER
    be able to open raw D300 files directly in CS2 and ACR 3.7. You must use the DNG Converter as Jim explains in #5 until you upgrade to the current version.
    The capabilities of ACR 5.2, which only runs in CS4, are light years ahead of your ancient version 3.7. The upgrade to CS4 should be a no brainer for you.

  • Camera RAW plug-in not working

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded the Camera RAW 5.6 update for Elements 8 but even after following the instructions carefully and verfigying that the plug was added I cannot open a RAW file in photoshop. I am not sure what the problem and am hoping someone with more experience in this area can help me.
    Help?
    Thanks,
    Cara

    Yes, we didn't start supporting the D3100 until the 6.3 version of the camera raw plug-in (Source: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras). This version of the camera raw plug-in doesn't work with Photoshop Elements 8 (Source: Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications). In order to natively support the D3100, you'd need Photoshop Elements 9 or later (10 is the current version). The other option is to convert your raw NEF files to DNG (a universal raw format) by using the DNG Converter: Mac|Windows.

  • Camera RAW plug-in for Photoshop 8 Doesn't Work

    I downloaded Camera RAW plug-in 5.6 following the instructions, for use with a Canon Rebel EOS xTi.  The file downloaded and was pasted in the proper folder ( C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\ ). And when the RAW file still didn't open I downloaded Camera RAW plug-in 6.2 and pasted in the same folder as above. When I couldn't access the plug-in from Photoshop Elements 8.0, I tried Help-Updates. I still can't access or open RAW files. How can I fix this problem?

    Make sure you delete all previous versions of the 8bi file from the File Formats folder before you start.
    Make sure you use the correct download link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4810
    Extract files from the download folder then drag or copy the new 8bi file into the File Formats folder.
    You can confirm successful installation by opening Full Edit and clicking Help >>About Plug-in >>Camera Raw

  • Is there currently a Camera Raw Plug-in for Photoshop CS for the Nikon d-600 ? tryed downloading version 7.3 but did not work

    Is there currently a Camera raw plug in that supports the d-600 ? I tried downloading the 7.3 version and it didn't work !

    You have photoshop cs (photoshop 8) circa 2003?
    If so, which operating system are you using?
    In addition to upgrading to photoshop cs6 or subscribing to the creative cloud, you can probably use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your nikon D600 nefs to dng copies, which should then open in photoshop cs.
    You need to have the 2.4 camera raw plugin for dngs to work in photoshop cs.

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

  • Error Message -may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility

    I have been working in Lightroom 4.3 for MAC. From there I open 2 files to edit in Photoshop as layers so I can add a layer mask to the bottom layer and use the paint brush tool to make certain areas of the image darker or lighter. I have been doing this with no problem and now it doesn't seem to work. I can see the brushes' strokes on the layer mask but can not see the results on the image.
    I keep getting a message from Lightroom saying I may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility whener I try to edit on Photohsop thru Lightroom, but I have already added this plug in and it asks for it. It happens with raw, jpegs and tiffs from my 1D Mark II or my 5D Mark III and with other people's camera. It used to work fine. Now it dosen't I feel like it is something so simple. Please help. This si crucial to my business.

    The wording of the message about ACR 7.3 is a bit misleading: What it means is that ACR 7.3 is required for Photoshop. Lr 4.3 has got it.
    Which version of Photoshop are you using?
    I suspect it's not CS6 but a prior version. If it is a version prior to CS6 you cannot install ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7.3.
    You may have downloaded it but you cannot install it. It doesn't install.
    On the other hand Lr 4.3 is based on ACR 7.3. So you have an incompatibility of ACR versions: 7.3 in Lr 4.3 and an earlier-version-ACR in Photoshop.
    With this situation Lr an dPhotoshop are not fully compatible, i.e. you cannot open images as layers. You can only open one image at a time, either by letting Lr 4.3 render the PSD (or TIFF) and sending it to Photoshop (by selecting <Render using Lightroom>), or you let Photoshop open the Raw file with its earlier version ACR (by selecting <Open Anyway>).
    In this situation you have two choices: Either upgrade to CS6, or open images in Photoshop one at a time and vonvert to layers in Photoshop.

  • If I'm in Lightroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updat

    If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
    If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
    Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

    In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
    Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
    Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
    I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

  • Have OMD EM5, need Camera Raw and PS Elements that work with this camer

    I've been using PS Elements 9 on a MAC.  Can't use RAW.  Know I need a plug-in.  If I upgrade to PS 12, how do I find out what Camera Raw I need?  What is compatible with this camera (OMD EM5)? 

    Yes, you need at least PSE 11, but PSE 12 should work just fine. Download the trial and check it out.
    Here's a list of the minimum versions of ACR for each camera model:

    PSE 12 comes with ACR 8 and can be updated to 8.5.

  • Installer, application manager and camera raw plug in issues

    Hi - I need help.
    I'm running on Windows 7. I have just upgraded Photoshop to CS5.5 from CS4 (on my laptop not a creative cloud version). I have since uninstalled Photoshop CS4. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 but it would not install and I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I have downloaded the application manager file but cannot install it. I am getting the "installer failed to initilize" message. I've read through the forums on this and cannot find a solution.
    I have extracted the file so I am not trying to open a zip file. I have downloaded a second time to a different location and tried installing again while logged into creative cloud but got the same message. I saw the comment about deleting the Adobe/OOBE folder and trying again but was wary about doing this as I don't know what this folder is. Can someone tell me what this is and why I would delete it?
    I don't think I had this issue before I uninstalled CS4. I think I had already downloaded a camera raw plug in for that version. So I am wondering if deleting CS4 caused the issue.
    I then downloaded CS6 cloud version thinking that perhaps I would get application manager installed correctly within that. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug in and this is now working in CS5.5 but strangely still cannot run the setup.exe for the application manager (So perhaps it is just a problem with Installer?).
    Can someone tell me if application manager is just relevant for cloud based products or is it required for desktop versions as well? Could creative cloud be interferring with my desktop version? Where can I find the application manager files? If I uninstall CS6 will I have the same problem with application manager not working in future? I do not really want to use a cloud based version (CS6) and don't want to keep unnecessary programs on my laptop.I signed up to Creative Cloud when both desktop and cloud versions were supported and may not continue when my subscription expires.
    To fix this problem without CS6 do I need to reinstall CS5.5? (To do this I will have to reinstall CS4 as it was an upgrade version). Would just reinstalling CS4 fix the problem? Can I just reinstall the application manager part of either of these or is there a simpler solution?
    Thanks in advance as I am not super tecchie and am running out of ideas.

    Hi
    I have Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection but have only installed Photoshop and Bridge ( this includes files associated with that install). Since installing that I have also installed Photoshop 6 (with Bridge etc).
    The issue I had in Photoshop 5.5 was I was unable to read files from Canon EOS 5D Mark 2. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 to fix this. I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I downloaded the application manager file (adobe application manager 8) but couldn't install it. I got an "installer failed to initilize" message.
    So I downloaded CS6 to see if that would fix the application manager issue. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug 6.7.1  and this is now working in CS5.5. So the initial problem is fixed for now but what I want to know is -
    - Is the Application Manager associated with the version or does it stand alone as a separate file?
    - If I now uninstall Photoshop 6 will the Application Manager uninstall also, or will it continue to work in 5.5?
    - What is the best way to uninstall version 6 - should I do this through Application Manager not Windows Control Panel? I cannot see where to do this.
    The Adobe site says to start AAM by :
    Choose Help > Updates in a Creative Suite 5 product.
    Double-click PDApp.exe in the following locations:  Windows 64 bit: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\
    If I chose Help in Photoshop 5.5 - the update option is greyed out and not available.
    If I follow the second option I get the Creative Cloud Application Manager (version 9) offering me updates for version Photoshop 6 only.
    How can I find out if I have a working Application manager for 5.5?
    What is the best way to uninstall version 6?
    You are right I have found folders / files which need to be cleaned up from CS4 eg: plug ins and a lot of empty folders. What is the best way to clean up these - can I just delete them in Windows Explorer?
    Sorry this is long - I am learning as I go

  • Outdated Camera Raw plug-in for CS5 Extended

    As a long time user of ADOBE products, (Flash, Reader, Acrobat, Photodeluxe, and photoshop)  I was first introduced to PHOTODELUXE2 that came with a scanner. Got to like it, then over the years, I've had the opportunity to try out other PS titles like PS7, and the last version I have is the PS CS5 Extended, which I bought at a garage sale a few years ago.  Are these Photoshop programs only for the RICH AND FAMOUS?
      I have cancer, and I am on disability, so for obvious reasons, and financially, I can not afford the $700.00 plus price tag for photoshop full licensed program. I have tried to open RAW photos from my Canon G6 Digital camera, but the plug-in needs to be updated. I also have a newer Canon SX50, that does have a RAW plug in, but that only works with this cameras photos, not my old CRW Images.
    The G6 Raw plug-in was a 32-bit, that came with the Install Canon disc, but since changing my 32-bit OS to a WIN 7 64-bit, that plug-in no longer works, unless I get a hold of another XP 32Bit computer, and install it on that, which I do not wish to do,
    Is there a third party Camera raw plugin that might open these G6 RAW files?  or do I have to buy the expensive full licensed program, which I can not afford? I have taken a photoshop Class at a local School, and received a 'Certificate of Completion", but as a student, I did not know at that time, that I could have got a discouted price for being a student, and looking back, it was still too expensive for me anyway, even at that price.
    Since being diagnosed with cancer, I find myself at home all the time and enjoy editing photos for my self and family, I do not use this PS software for any financial gain, just self enjoyment, which takes my thoughts of having cancer away whenever I dabble.
    I certainy appreciate the work that the Adobe developers go through, and I certainly do not want to take away from their livlihood buy using a product I bought for $15.00 for at a garage sale last year. But the CS6 Standard costs $700.00, or the CS6 Extended, at $1,000, what are my options?..I haven't won the lottery just yet.
    i guess I'm looking for a Camera raw Plug-in to be able to open older CRW RAW Images. OR find a licensed PD CS5 Extended at a nominal price. Thank you for any help!  Sincerely, Jim

    I think the G6 should be supported by camera raw in PS CS5.  You can download camera raw 6.7.1 -- the latest camera raw plugin for PS CS5 -- from  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    Scroll down to Camera Raw, click on Windows then download the 6.7.1 update.  Direct link:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    PS CS5 usually installs both a 64-bit version and a 32-bit version on 64-bit systems.  You might look in your Win 7 program listing (Start key, then All Programs) where you should see both Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64-bit).  Your older 32-bit plugin that you used before might work with the 32-bit version of PS CS5.  Plugin would need to be installed in the 32-bit version only -- in C:\Program Files (x86).

  • Invoking Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4 asks for Camera Raw Plug-in 7.0

    I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom 4.0. When I try to invoke "Photo / Edit in Photoshop CS 5.1" I get the warning "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.0 for full compatibility. Please update the camera raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu". However, the update function in Photoshop CS5.1 says that there are no updates available and searching adobe.com I can find no references to Camera Raw plug-in 7.0. What is one to do? Thanks.

    No, the warning is not the issue.  As I've said, "supported cameras" are not the problem. 
    I do initial processing on my images, then using Lightroom CMD E push them to Photoshop for further editing.  The message says "7.0 may be required for full compatibility" should I ignore that warning and click "Open Anyway"  because there really aren't any compatibility issues?
    LR 4 Develop module is much different than LR 3,  just as CS5 version of ACR is different than what I've seen in the CS6 beta.   My assumption is there would be compatibility issues - as the warning says - when using LR4's develop engine then passing it on to CS5.  I don't use ACR in Photoshop since I use Lightroom, I use Photoshop for detailed image editing in conjunction with the Nik Software selective tool run as a window within Photoshop.
    So how about a clear answer:  Just click "Open Anyway" and everything will work great?  When I first work on an image in LR4, then further edit it in Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7 installed, Save and Close the image in Photoshop sending it back to Lightroom it will all work just like yesterday when I did all that in Lightroom 3 without any error messages?
