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 not recognizing file format.

My partner and I recently purchased new cameras, Canon D6 & Mark III. When I uploaded the new pictures from these cameras, the files didn't load. When I tried to open them in raw I received the error message seen below. Went to the link and was unable to find the appropriate update. Please assist when possible. I currently use CS5.1 & Windows.

According to this list:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The 6D needs ACR 7.3 or newer while the 5D Mark III needs ACR 6.7 or 7.1 or newer.
PS-CS5 can only be updated to ACR 6.x so it might work with the 5D Mark II but not the 6D.
You can use the free DNG Converter 7.3 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2 files that can be read by the older ACR plug-in, or you can upgrade to PS-CS6 or PS-CC. The best deal might be the PS-CC+LR Photography Plan that is $10/month.

Camera raw plug in not showing up as an option in the file menu the plugin was updated?

I am trying to adjust the white balance using photoshop elements 11, all the information I have come across tells you how to do it using the camera raw plug in. This has been updated and still I do not see it listed when I click on the file menu. I take photos of antique gold lockets using a light house and even though the custom white balance is set on my camera the photos are still coming out too canary yellow. I need to be able to adjust the colors so that they are more antique rose gold looking and have been reading different articles and videos on how other people adjust the colors and would like to try a couple of the ways I have seen but am unable as the camera raw plug in is not showing up as an option. Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem would be most appreciated. I have tried the quick fixes, color and contrast etc and not getting the results I am looking for... Please tell me what to do...

You never see it in the file menu. But if you go to File>Open As in windows you should be able to choose Camera Raw as the format.
On a mac it would be file>Open, choose the file, choose camera raw as the format>Open.
That's assuming these aren't raw files. If it's a raw file, just plain ol' file>Open and selecting a raw file should open the file in the converter.

Camera Raw Universal update not working

Hey there .... heeeeelp ....
I've just upgraded to a Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo system, and it seems like the Camera Raw updater is not functioning on this system.
I get no previews with my Canon 400D/XTi on import, which is what this update was supossed to address. I've installed the update several times, looked in the Frameworks to find the plist file and the entry for my camera is indeed in there.... but still no previews on import.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know of a solution?

Hello There
Are you getting unsupported file format instead of the preview? If so try downloading to a folder on the desktop instead of straight into Aperture. Set the "when a camera is connected" preference in Aperture to image capture and then import your images from the folder.
What you describe happened with my 400D particularly when importing a large number of RAW images.

Camera Raw 8.4 not working in Lightroom 5

Hi:
did install the CR 8.4 Beta. Can now preview .NEF files taken with the Nikon D4S in Photoshop and Bridge, however in Lightroom this is not working. Any idea why this is? Is there a workaround or a solution?
Thx

You’ve installed the Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 PLUG-IN for Photoshop.
The term Camera Raw also refers to the version of internal programming, a coyp of which is included in the plug-in and in Lightroom, and in the DNG Converter, although each has its own copy.
Updating the Photoshop ACR 8.4 plug-in that contains the CR engine 8.4 doesn’t change Lightroom 5.3 which contains the copy of the CR engine 8.3, still.
What we’re waiting for is the next version of Lightroom to be released, likely called LR 5.4, which has its copy of the Camera Raw engine 8.4.
The DNG Converter 8.4 beta has also been released and you can use it to create DNGs from your new camera’s raw files that will open in the older Lightroom, but I’d only do that experimentally, and not delete your original raws, in case something is changed by the time of the final release.

Camera Raw Filter is not working correctly in Photoshop CC when applied to video layer

With Photoshop CC, when editing a video and adding a "Camera Raw Filter" to some video layer, the effect will be applied only to one frame and not to the whole video layer.
Should it not add that filter to the whole layer (e.g. all frames in that clip)?

Either it's a bug or a limitation. Haven't yet tried this, so I can't tell you whether it works as it should or is acting up... I would however assume that within what one can expect it works as designed - ACR doesn't have a built-in timeline, so there would be nothing for the PS routines to request retrieval of frames from withing the SO.

Camera Raw 4.6 not working with D700

I have a PC with Windows XP Pro, 1 GB of RAM and Service Pack 2, Photoshop CS3 and the latest version of Camera Raw 4.6
When I open ACR, it does show that I am using Camera Raw 4.6 Beta version and it seems to work properly with my Nikon D200 NEF files.
However, when I try to see my Raw NEF files from a new Nikon D700 camera, the bridge DOES show the hi-res thumbnail images, but when I press Ctrl+R keys to open the image in ACR, absolutely nothing happens.
Now if I open Photoshop and then navigate to the exact same NEF file (that wouldn't respond to be opened in ACR,) it WILL open in ACR using the very same Camera Raw 4.6.
Any comments?
Thank you,
Monte Evans

Can you tell me why my computer at my studio sees my D700 NEF files and it "only" has Camera Raw 4.5? The Nikon D700 is not listed as a camera that is supported on this version. I had to update my home computer to 4.6 to make it work. (or maybe I should have tried purging the cache on that computer before trying the Beta version 4.6). Looking back, my studio computer should not be able to see these NEF files.

CS2 RAW plug in not working :o(

Hi guys, i have CS2 on a windows 7 laptop. I have recently started college and im desperate to be able to open RAW files. i have downloaded the plug in, but i still cant open them. any help in simple terms would be great. my camera is a nikon d90 NEF RAW is the file type. thanks : o)

Open the DNG converter application. It looks like this:
Then you run through the four sections. First you browse to the folder where you put the D90 NEFs. Just leave that folder selected - the app doesn't convert single files, it converts whole folders.
Same for destination folder, except you can choose to just save in the same folder.
In 3, rename the files if you like, or leave at "document name".
In 4 you pick ACR version compatibility. Since you're on CS2, that'll have to be "2.4 and later". You can also choose to embed the original NEF in the DNG, so that it can be extracted later. Not necessary if you also keep the NEFs, but do one or the other so that you can use a newer ACR version later with full functionality.
Hit "convert". When finished, you have a folder of DNGs that can be opened in ACR 3 (which is what you have).

Camera Raw Plug-In V6.3.0.79 Problems

BACKGROUND
I am running Elements 9 V9.0.2 on an iMac with V6.3.0.79 of the Camera Raw Plug-In.
I am totally new to Elements as of five weeks ago.
The Camera Raw Plug-In worked fine for the first several weeks.
Now, it locks me out of doing anything to a file once I go through Camera Raw - Open the file into the Elements Editor - try to do anything(i.e. duplicate background)
PROBLEM
Sometime in the last few weeks, the Camera Raw Plug-in stopped working correctly:
1- Now, anytime I open a file into Camera Raw and
a- do nothing to file in Camera Raw OR
b- do anything simple/complex in Camera Raw
2- Then from Camera Raw choose the Open Button to go into the Elements Editor
3- The file is always "locked" - I can't even duplicate the background - all functionality is ghosted out.
4- Yet I can take that same file and go straight into the Elements Editor and I can duplicate the background.
5- This is not the way the Camera Raw plug-in worked for several weeks - I could duplicate the background in the Editor after going through Camera Raw.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS
1- I have reinstalled Elements 9 (and the Camera Raw Plug-In) three times - each time the install is totally successful
2- I have checked several forums I found nothing that would give a clue as to a possible solution
POSSIBLE PROBLEM?
1- The only additional related software that I have newly installed around the time of the first occurance of this problem is Elements+
2- I am not saying that Elements+ is an issue, but it is the only "new" thing I can think of that may relate to the problem
3- I have left Elements+ out of the picture when I did the above 3 reinstalls.
4- Nothing changes the problem
Does anyone have any ideas about what may be causing this?

1. Yes there is no point in opening a jpeg from camera raw as 16 bit.
2. Raw images have the most headroom for post processing and a much smoother tonal range.
3. You can only do a small range of edits in PSE to 16 bit files, so the problem would remain. CS5 is required to use the full range of tools on large 16 bit files. I always shoot in raw and use Adobe Lightroom for all my raw processing and rarely need elements except for any artistic stuff and adding text. Aperture is available on the Mac and can now be purchased from the app store at a knock down price almost equivalent to Elements.

Problems with layers after Camera RAW plug in installed

Hello all,
I am rather new to Photoshop, so please excuse what maybe an easy question, I have made a few images into black and white and added color to them in select parts. Not to long ago I downloaded the new Camera RAW plug in to work on NEF pics. Now I can not get the layers to work. For some reason it is not allowing me to remove the black and white layer and bring out the color. This is true in RAW-I get an Alpha Channel error if working in RAW or the brush will not work in the BW image saying it is not allowed on a layer?
What am I missing? I am thinking there is something really basic that I can not figure out. Any help is appreciated.
Mike

The Camera Raw plug-in is part of the original default Photoshop installation. If you downloaded a newer version, it should have replaced the original one. Where did you install it?
Layered files have absolutely nothing to do with Camera Raw.
However, you have not given us details and your description of your problem is far from clear. Please explain.
Please read this post by a forum host for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Will new Camera Raw plug-ins run in CS2?

I am running Photoshop & Bridge CS2 and have recently upgraded from a Canon 20D to Canon 50D. Bridge & Protoshop will not open the RAW files. I have looked at previous discussion threads, and know that I need to update the Camera Raw plug-in, but I an not sure whether the latest Camera Raw plug-in is compatable with CS2 (the Adobe site keeps refering to CS4). Can the latest plug-ins be used with CS2?

Nope.
The last version of the Camera Raw plug-in to work with CS2 is ACR 3.7.
You can, however, run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNGC Converter to convert raw files generated by cameras supported by the current ACR version to raw DNG files that can then be opened in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.
You always want to run the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, as it is totally independent from the version of ACR that works with CS2.
EDIT: JJ types faster—and more succintly—than I do.

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.

How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
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.
