Camera Raw showing up double in PSE 8

Hi
After upgrading to PSE 8, the plugin Camera Raw shows up twice in About Plugins (both show Version 5.5.0.97). In the Open as filetype list, I also see two Camera Raw entries, of which one works just fine, the other one leads to error message "This process could not be executed, because a program error occured" (my translation from German to English).
I noticed that by removing the file Camera Raw.8bi from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats removes one of the entries. So PSE 8 seems to get ACR 5.5 from somewhere else than from Camera Raw.8bi also.
This problem does not seem to be related to my installation, please also see this thread in the PSE forum.
The installation guide clearly states that one has to copy Camera Raw.8bi to the PSE plugin directory, although it only mentions PSE 6.0 und PSE 7.0.
Can anybody give me a hint on where PSE 8 gets its ACR from, and what I would have to do to upgrade it to a new version if I don't keep Camera Raw.8bi in the plugin directory?

This issue has been resolved.
As per John R. Ellis' post here, Adobe has moved the location of the file Camera Raw.8bi from
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats\
to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\
with PSE 8.
So deleting the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi resolves the problem.
Adobe, please make a note of this in the ACR installation guide.

Update for Camera Raw 6.6 fails with PSE 10 on Mac OSX

I have been trying to update my just purchased from App Store Photoshop Elements 10 to the latest Camera Raw 6.6
#1 I cannot see an update option in the Help Menu
#2 Try to do a Manual Update after mounting the dmg and runnning AdobePatchInstaller.app says Update is Not Applicable
Please Help
Tarique Sani

Okay. The file paths for the app store version are totally different from that of other versions because apple requires that everything live inside the app package itself for all store apps.
1. Go here and download ACR 6.6:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5315
Once it's downloaded, double click the dmg file to mount it. Double click Payloads. You are going to want two things from the payloads folder: the plugin and the profiles.
2. Open AdobeCameraRawProfile6.0All-(followed by a long string of numbers--not sure if they vary by localization). This will be the top folder if you're in list view. Open the .dmg file in there:
and drag the Profiles folder to the desktop to copy it.
3. Now go back to the contents of the Payloads folder and do the same thing for the CameraRawforElements6.4All-followed by a long string of numbers). Again, double click the .dmg file in there, then, in the mounted .dmg go to Assets>Universal>and drag cameraraw.plugin to the desktop. You can now eject all the dmg files you've opened.
So now you have the plug-in file and the profiles folder. Those are the two items you will need.
4. Now right-click the actual PSE editor in your Applications folder and choose Show Package Contents>Contents>Plug-ins>File Formats, and replace the camera raw.plugin there with the new version (take the old one out and put it somewhere safe in case this doesn't work). In Resources, replace the camera profiles folder and the Lens profiles folder with the ones from the Profiles folder you removed from the .dmg file.
Hopefully that should work, but I'm not sure if something else may need to be replaced. I don't have a copy of the app store version of PSE 10 to try this, so let me know if that's all that's necessary.

Skips Camera Raw when opening image from PSE organizer to CS

I have PSE7 from before and recently purchased CS6. I want to keep using PSE as an organizer and edit in CS6. When opening a raw file (CR2) from the organizer to CS using Ctrl-h the image opens directly in CS without opening in Camera Raw first. If I open an image directly in CS it goes through CR first. How do I send the image directly to Camera Raw and then to CS from the organizer? I am running on Windows 7 64 bit. The Camera Raw for PSE7 if 5.6 and 7.3 for CS6. Tried posting under photoshop (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5006582#5006582), where it was suggested I post in the elements forum.

Unfortunately PSE7 can’t be updated to Camera Raw 7 and this is undoubtedly preventing the file from opening in the CS6 raw dialog. Your best bet is to open from CS6 Bridge by double clicking the thumbnail in Bridge. In any case Elements will create an export copy for external editing with Ctrl+H and you will end up with lots of duplicates and sidecar XMP files stacked in version sets in the Organizer. I think for raw files you will find Bridge much easier. If you finally save as PSD, Tiff or jpeg after you finish editing that version will also be visible in Bridge but you could also import it into Elements e.g. if you wish to add it to an album.

Camera Raw 5.4 RC and PSE 6 Mac

Hello,
Does anybody know when CR5.4 for PSE 6 Mac will be available?
Thanks

Do follow the instructions. I followed my previous habit of setting the old Camera Raw plugin aside, prior to installing the new, in case I wanted to revert. Apparently the installer refers to the existing plugin to decide what language settings to use - I ended up with all ACR buttons and menus displaying in an Asian character set.
Then after manually restoring the 5.3 version to its rightful place, I had to jump through some hoops before PS or Bridge could see it. Deleting prefs did nothing, nor did rebooting. I finally got it back to sanity by running cameraprofiles.mpkg from the 5.3 download. However, now I couldn't rerun the 5.4 installer, as it insisted 5.4 was already installed. I was finally able to get the 5.4 installer to work, only by rerunning the PS CS4 installer to reinstall CS4 (no need to uninstall.)

Problem with camera raw for Sony 350K and PSE 6

I have recently tried to download my first batch of RAW pictures taken with a Sony A350K camera into PSE6 but I am told the format is not recognised. I thought I had successfully down loaded ACR 4.6 but apparently not as they are still not recognised. Can anyone throw any light on what I might be doing wrong?

If you have left the old version of Camera Raw.8bi in the folder, even if you have renamed it, Photoshop will still use it.
Follow this link:-

and scroll down to the section on installing the plugin in PSE 6.

Camera raw is not opening in PSE 11

I just installed PSE 11 from Adobe.com and my raw files do not open in camera raw?

You should see this screen. Press Esc to close.

Why isn't camera raw 8.3 compatible with PSE 11?

I'm furious and want to know who to complain to. Less than one year ago I purchased PSE 11 which is what I needed for it to work with my Nikon D7100, also less than a year old. I have just purchased a Nikon D610 and it seems I need to downlaod Camera Raw 8.3 but it doesn't seem to work with PSE 11. When I check the adobe site it appears that I need PSE 12! How can this be when my software is less than one year old!! Is it adobe money grabbing again? Are there any plans to add support for RAW photos taken on the Nikon D610, which after all is only a very minor change to the Nikon D600, to PSE 11? If not why not????

Here is why (one of the most read faqs in this forum, where you don't speak to Adobe, it's a user to user forum):

You can also go here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/why_doesnt_my_version_of_photoshop_o r_lightroom_support_my_camera-17cz5b
So, to summarize, you have to use the free Adobe DNGconverter as described in the first link.

Open a camera raw file by double clicking it in Windows Explorer

I am running Lightroom 1.3.1 on a personal computer running Windows XP. Is it possible to double click open a camera's raw file (in my case it is a Canon camera CR2 file) that I can see within an open folder in Windows Explorer, and have the Lightroom application start up to display the image?
I tried to "associate a file type to a program application" by right clicking the raw file, choosing Open With, Choose Program, I could not find Lightroom under the default list Other Programs so I browsed to the LR application that was found in the Programs folder to select it, and then I chose "always use this selected program to open this kind of file".
Now when I open a folder in Windows Explorer using the icon types display, I see an icon with an "A" for Adobe showing up for all of the raw files in that folder, so it appears to be associating the file correctly to the LR application. However when I double click on a raw file to open it there is an error message that comes back stating the program is "not a valid Win32 application". Subsequently the file does not open up to view the image.

The simple answer is No. So remove your association of images from the "open with" Lightroom. It does not work that way and never will.
As you may know, Lightroom is a program that allows you to manage your images and a key part of its operation is a database file; So when you start Lightroom, you cannot even get it to open an image file directly from disc; in other words it does not allow you to "browse" for images and display them. (use some other program to do that, e.g. FastStone image viewer. I think it will display Canon CR2 files, it does work for Nikon's nef files.)
The key to understanding Lightroom, is that you create a catalog file ( the database) and then import pictures into that database. Then, within Lightroom, you can browse through your pictures in the Library module; (and of course you can do a lot more than that in the Develop module etc).

Does camera raw 8.2 work with PSE 11?

Trying to input raw pictures into PSE 11, but it says "corrupted or file not suported"
- They are OK in Canan's own utilities file.
Thanks in advance,
Peter.

..Couldn't find the reply button :-)
Thanks.
Its an EOS70 procuducing CR2 files, but they are different, apparnetly from the old *.CR2 files ???
- Given that PSE 12 is expected out on the 23rd of the month, - I might just wait.
The camera also produces 16 bit colour information, & I find the PSE 11 deon't allow me to do some of the functions.
Thanks for your help.
Peter.

How do I add Camera Raw 7.4 to my PSE 11?

I have bought PSE11 to use with my Nikon D7100. It won't speak to the RAW files. I've attempted several times to update as advised, it won't work. I have downloaded DNGConverter_7_4.exe now what do I do with it? I am about ready to use my laptop as a frizbee!

Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 update for PSE 11 for Mac

I've tried repeatedly to download this update to my iMac running OS X 10.6.8, but it does NOT appear in English (United States). How do I get the English version?

If you bought it online from adobe or from amazon, you can update. Just not if you bought it from the mac app store. Do you have organizer? If you got a version without organizer, you bought it from the app store and you're stuck. If you got a version that comes with organizer, even as a download, you must have bought it someplace else and should be able to update.
You can tell just by looking at the bottom left of the editor window. If you see these buttons in Expert mode, you have an updatable version:
On the other hand, if you see this, it's the app store version--no update:

Camera Raw Versions and PSE Versions

On my Windows 7 PC, I have installed (and have a license for) among other both PSE V10 and PSE V12. On my PC, when editing a Nikon NEF File, PSE V10 uses Camera Raw 6.4.1 and PSE V12 uses Camera Raw 8.2.
Since on my C Disk I see only one copy of a Folder named "NIKON D5000" (this folder is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\Camera Profiles\Camera ), I have the impression that both the versions 6.4.1 and the Version 8.2 of Camera RAW share the identical Camera Profiles. Is that impression/guess correct?
Question 1: Can I conclude, that (since both Camera Raw Version share the same Camera Profile folders), if I will buy a Nikon D5300 (which officially gets supported only by Camera Raw 8.n (n being probably equal or higher than 3)), that once Camera Raw 8.n (n=> 3) will be installed on my PC (because this will be the Camera Raw Version supported/used by PSE V12), I will be able to process my future D5300 Nef Files both with the combination of PSE V10 and Camera Raw 6.4.1 and the combination of PSE V12 and Camera Raw 8.n (even though officially, Camera RAW 6.4.1 does not support the D5300)? Thank You very much in advance for your answer.
Question 2: Can somebody point me to a downloadable NEF file shot by the Nikon D7100?
I will then download that NEF file and see whether I can process it with the combination of PSE V10 and Camera Raw 6.4.1. This will allow me to verify the answer to question 1. Thank You very much in advance for your answer

Since I am probably not the only one on these forums who do not understand well (or who is/was not even aware of) the Adobe DNG converter, I would like to add the following:
Yes, 99jon is totally correct: a NEF File from the Nikon D7100 will not open with PSE V10 and with ACR6.4.
...But: a couple of days ago, I realized that I could use the latest versions of the free downloadable Adobe DNG Converter (which supports among other Nikon D7100 NEF and the RAW Files of most modern cameras) to convert the D7100 .NEF files into DNG Files. To perform such a conversion, I started the DNG Converter, identified the windows folder containg the NIKON D7100 NEF Files, provided a couple of options and then let the DNG Converter convert the NIKON D7100 NEF Files into .dng files.
Once done, I imported the .dng files into PSE V10,...and could edit them without problems with the combination of PSE V10 and ACR 6.4. Even if I am not a specialist and might be wrong: I did not came across any limitation for the ACR editing of the NIKON D7100 .dng files that was problematic for my purposes (ACR even supported multiple "Camera Profiles" for the D7100!). I am more than happy!
To summarize: if making a small détour via the DNG Converter, it becomes possible to edit with the combination of old PSE Versions and old ACR Versions the "DNG versions" of RAW Files shot with new cameras (like for example the NIKON D7100)..

"Camera Raw Preferences..." / "Open in Camera Raw" broken (using Bridge 2.1.1.9)

I'm having some trouble getting Bridge to see my Camera Raw plugin -- oddly enough, I can double-click on a raw file and it'll open in
ACR via Photoshop, but it won't load in
ACR on its own. On top of that, Bridge isn't showing me the thumbnails for any of my raw images (though it will show thumbnails for JPEGs) and both the "Camera Raw Preferences" and "Open in Camera Raw" menu items are grayed out:
For what it's worth, I'm running Adobe Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on a MacBookPro running Leopard 10.5.2. Here's what I've tried so far:
I've read over the entire "
++ Debugging ACR Installation Problems ++" thread and I've done my best to precisely follow the directions there...
As mentioned in that thread, I've installed "Camera Raw.plugin" to Macintosh HD:Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats/ (and I've also searched my hard drive to confirm that this instance of "Camera Raw.plugin" is the only one on the drive) :
(If you click on the screenshot, you'll see a larger version.)
I've also checked Photoshop's About Plug-in menu and I've confirmed that "Camera Raw" appears exactly once:
After clicking on "Camera Raw" from the plug-in menu, I can confirm that it's version 4.4.1:
I've also run "Tools->Cache->Purge Cache" for various folders that have raw images and, along with that, I've tried manually deleting the Users/[Username]/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge folder.
Just for good measure, I've also tried starting up Bridge while holding down the Option key and then choosing the option to delete all the prefs from the dialog box that comes up.
Any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

I started experiencing this same problem three days ago when I installed ACR 4.5. I have been through the forums, trying anything and everything that has worked for other users. Finally, I hit on one crazy possibility.....and it worked.
ACR was working fine in Photoshop, but suddenly in Bridge it would not display thumbnails for my CR2 images or allow me to open them in Camera Raw.
So what fixed it for me? Remember, I had tried everything mentioned in all the posts and none of it fixed it. But one user pointed out that they only had "Camera Raw" show once in Photoshop's "About Plug-In" menu. I had noticed I had it appearing four times, once for 4.5 and once for each of the three previous versions! Working on a hunch, I went to the folder where CameraRaw.8bi exists and found that I had a "save" folder there as well. The save folder contained the three prior versions. I moved the save folder outside of this location -- AND ACR WORKS AGAIN IN BRIDGE!!!
So now I'm left to wonder only one thing -- did this work okay until I added 4.5, or did I somehow create the save folder (and add previous versions of ACR) in my sleep when I installed 4.5? In the end, I'm just happy that it works again.
I hope this helps a few others of you out there!
