Camera Raw plug-in -- where is it?

Hi All, I tried to open a photo in Photoshop from Lightroom2, and got the alert "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.3 for full compatability. Please update the camera raw plug-in using update tool available in Photoshop help menu."
I opened PS and completed the available updates but got the same alert message. How do I accomplish this update? Do I have to pay for it??
I am new to the wonderful world of Macintosh and it's somewhat frustrating at times.
Thanks for any help.

What version are you using for Photoshop, CS2 supports ACR 3.6, CS3 supports ACR 4.6, CS4 supports ACR 5.3. The plugin is only applicable to Photoshop CSx.
Lightroom V2.3 is equivalent to ACR 5.3 and does not require any plugin.
What the message is telling you is that you need Photoshop CS4 with ACR 5.3 to be 100% compatible with Lightroom 2.3. (i.e. able to read the adjustments done in Lightroom)
Lightroom is a complete stand alone program and does not realy require any version of Photoshop to be installed on your computer.

Where to locate Camera Raw plug-in for Windows 7?

I have Adobe Photoshop and Bridge CS5. Been having problems viewing RAW files in Bridge with my D90. Where can I locate the Camera Raw plug-in and check if it is installed to only one location? Also, where is the correct location that Camera Raw should be installed? Thanks in advance!

With Windows 7 x64 here's where they're normally located:
64 bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi

Where do I find the Adobe PS Camera Raw plug in

I have Adobe PS CS6 Extended. Where do I find the Adobe PS Camera Raw plug in ???

It depends on what operating system you're running.
On Windows x64 you'll find it in two places (32 bit and 64 bit plug-ins):
32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
64 bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
On Windows 32 bit it will be here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
I'm not completely sure for a Mac, but an internet search implies that it's here:
Hard Drive/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/File Formats/CS6

Where is the Camera raw plug-in?

I just installed photoshop elements and I require the Camera raw plug-in; However, I have been looking for the dowload for two days now. Can someone point me to a link where I can download Camera raw for Elements 11?
Thanks in advance.

A Camera Raw plugin should install when you installed photoshop elements 11.
(i believe version 7.1)
Look under Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw (windows) or Adobe Photoshop elements Editor>About Plug-In>Camera Raw (mac)
in the pse 11 editor to see the present version of camera raw installed.
(click on the words Camera Raw)
What operating system are you using?
Are you having trouble opening camera raw files from a certain camera in pse 11?
(what camera is it?)
Have you gone to Help>Updates from within the photoshop elements 11 editor to see if camera raw 7.4 is available and installed it?

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).

Camera raw plug in for NEF files from nikon d800

Camera Raw Plug In

I'm trying to download RAW images from my canon 60d to Photoshop CS5 and it's not working. I did some research and found that I need a Camera RAW Plug-In. Can anyone tell me where to find this plug in? Is that all I need to work with RAW images?

You can install camera raw 6.7 and then your canon 60d files should open in photoshop cs5 using the camera raw dialog.

Camera Raw plug-in. How can I download and Install?

For some reason, I don't have the Camera Raw plug-in installed with my Photoshop Elements 11.0 software on my PC. How can I go about downloading and installing the Camera Raw plug-in?

Barbara,
Thanks for replying to my question. First of all, yes I'm sure I don't have
it, or if I do, I'm unable to access it. When I go to File>Open As and
click on the down arrow where you go to make your selection for Camera Raw,
it does not appear as one of my options. All the other options are there,
but not Camera Raw. I went back into Elements 8, 9 and 10, which I also
still have installed, and it does show up there, but not in 11. I did go
into Help>Updates a couple of weeks ago and it said all my updates were
current, so that didn't help. In fact, since then I've installed the trial
version of PSE 12.0 and it shows up there with no problem. My camera is a
Panasonic Linux and every version of PSE, with the exception of 11.0, has no
problem handling my RAW photos, so that is not the answer. After I got your
e-mail today I went back into Help>Updates again for my PSE 11.0
installation and lo and behold it came up with an option to install Camera
Raw version 8.2, which I did, thinking that might just solve my problem.
The installation seemed to download without a hitch, so I think it's lurking
in my system somewhere. The problem I'm having now is figuring out how to
get it into my 11.0 version so that it shows up as an option that I can
click on when I do the Open As command, since it's still not showing up
there. Any additional help you can provide me with would be greatly
appreciated. The reason I so desperately need it in my 11.0 version is
because I'm teaching a SeniorNet PSE 11.0 class and without Camera Raw
installed on my home computer, I'm kinda lost. I've been using 12.0 for the
time being, but my trial period for that is due to run out soon and I hadn't
really planned on buying the 12.0 version this time around. Thanks again for
your help.

Camera RAW plug in needed.

I have PSE6 installed on my MacBook Pro - OSX 10.6.8 (SnowLeopard) - and I now have a Fujifilm HS20 EXR, but I cannot use the RAW mode as PSE6 doesn't recognise my RAW files.
Where can I get a Camera RAW plug-in update that will allow me to carry on using the RAW facility on my new camera ?

To use your raw images in PSE6 you would need to download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Trouble with Camera Raw Plug-in

Hello, Can someone please help...I just started shooting in RAW and have installed the Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in with DNG Converter version 4.6 for Photoshop CS3, but still cannot open my .CR2 files! They are filed under: Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/File Formats. Could the problem be that it's filed incorrectly? Do I need to do something else other than choosing "Open" under the File menu in Photoshop?
Thanks for any help you can provide?

No, no, no!
autumnhill wrote:
And I'm using Mac OSX so Camera Raw was filed correctly.
No, I'm also running Mac OS X, and the screen shot shows the ONLY correct location.
Quit Photoshop AND Bridge, put the ACR plug-in in the correct location, then re-launch both Photoshop and Bridge.
You will probably need to Purge the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder containing raw files.
Where you put it, Bridge cannot see it, and it will cause you performance problems and give you all kinds of grief later on.

…so I moved it back and everything is ok. However I did move the DNG converter to your suggested location.
That was a monumentally… err… …unwise move. Undo it ASAP.

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.

Adobe camera raw 8.7 - where is it?

Installed just fine but it's not there in my applications (mac).
Where the heck is it?

You seemed to be asking about Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 which is the common phrase used to describe the Camera Raw plug-in to Photoshop.
Now you’re talking about converting to DNGs. That is the DNG Converter.
Both the ACR Plug-in and DNG Converter can be found in the CS6 branch of the ACR 8.7 RC at Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/
I can’t tell from what you’ve said if you downloaded the wrong thing or are referring to it by the wrong name.
For reference, the DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run each time you want to convert a batch of NEFs to DNGs, and when you’re selecting the folder that the NEFs are in, you should single-click on it to select it, not double-click on it to open it.
