Camera Raw update 2.2 -- unsupported file formats

As many user have posted here, after installing the latest Raw update from apple aperture and and all other core services became unable to read my Nikon D100 images. The file seemed fine since all other apps not based on core services worked fine. After reading some tips here I downgraded to the 2.1 raw software and everything was fine again. CLEARLY apple, in adding new camera support you introduced some sort of bug/problem. I know this was posted already but it did not seem to be generating much noise so I felt a need to keep the problem not 'under the rug'.

Apple being aware of the problem is one thing, but customers are still being allowed to download and install this buggy version of Camera Raw update 2.2 without any warning of the consequences. The only place you can find any information about the problem is in this discussion and Apple have made no formal help documents available AFAIK. Pretty poor for a Pro App.
It seems that not only are we beta testers for Apple, but also unpaid support staff.

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.

Yosemite and Canon RAWs - Random "Unsupported File Format"

It all started with Yosemite betas, random raw files in Aperture would pop up with the dreaded "Unsupported File Format" graphic. I tried a lot of stuff, rebuild the library, delete prefs, etc. Nothing work. I tried exporting the raws and neither iPhoto or Preview would open them. Downloaded the LightRoom 5 trial and it opens the files fine. OK, tried Aperture on a laptop with Mavericks, the files open fine there too. So it looks like it is something in the way that MacOS is handling
Any ideas? Now with the final release of Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 trying to open one of these file just crashes the software. I can't really say I like LightRoom but if I have to move on, I guess I will.

What version of iPhoto is it?
The issue is that the OS provides RAW support, but the applications need to leverage it. Aperture 1.5.6 is old: Aperture 2.0 came out in March of 2008 so there hasn't been an update to Aperture 1.5 since 2007-ish. It is unlikely that any cameras that shipped since then will ever be supported in Aperture 1.5.x.
The improvements/advantages to going with Aperture 3.1 over 1.5 are huge (assuming you have a capable machine) and well worth it.

Does anyone know why Aperture gives me a message "unsupported File Format" when I try to import D4s RAW files?

I just got a Nikon D4s, and I use Aperture 3 ( v 3.5.1) as my primary workflow program. I am getting a message that I am trying to import a "unsupported file format".
Does anyone know if its just me, or does Apple have a fix to this problem?

Have you updated to the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.05? If not, run Software Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
What are your settings for the RAW format in your camera? The footnote for the RAW support for Nikon D4s reads:
†Nikon RAW L format only.
Maybe, you need to change your RAW format settings.

Camera Raw updates Date Taken in JPG Files

Hi,
I have CS6/CR 7.2. I have had this issue where my file dates became changed (8000 odd files) so I had to restore 23000 files from backup .
When investigating trying to find out what happened. when I open a JPG from Windows Explorer, photoshop is set to use Camera Raw for jpg files on open (ok). If I cancel the dialog, nothing happens (ok). If I click Done or Open Image, the file itself has the "Date Taken" time updated - 7 hours ahead of the original correct time.
This pretty much matches the date issue I have on the 8000 files. Is this expected behaviour? Why would Camera Raw update Date Taken and did it choose 8 hours because I am in the PST timezone (GMT-8 or currently GMT-7 with daylight savings)?
I have reproduced this on 4 or file random files - taking copies and comparing afterwards.
Thanks!
Mark.

Camera Raw writes your JPEG files back out with updated metadata no matter what settings you choose, because Adobe feels they understand the format of metadata in the files well enough to be confident they will not corrupt the files.
I've asked them for years to avoid doing that, to no avail. I don't want my original files re-written. It sounds as though you are of a like mind.
It is for this reason that I *never* open a JPEG file through Camera Raw.
It's possible there is a time zone problem or something, but that's not the point. What, specifically, is corrupted is less important than Adobe believing it's okay to write back to your JPEG files. That you have actually seen something corrupted is testament to it not being unfounded paranoia.
Generally I'm supportive of Adobe's design decisions, but absolutely not on this issue. All I ask is that Adobe honor the "keep settings in the central database" preference choice for ALL input files, not just those for which they would otherwise write an XMP file. I don't think it's too much to ask.
By the way, you might want to visit the Camera Raw-specific forum and make note of your issue there:

My raw files go to unsupported file format when I load them in. Sony RX 100 had for one year. Never happened before.

my raw files go to unsupported file format when I load them in. Sony RX 100 camera shooting RAW had for one year. Never happened before.
Can only load the files in by running them trhough Adobe Camera RAW first and loading them as TIFFS into Aperture. JPEGs form the Sony load into Aperture just fine. Have repaired datebase, permissions ect but no change. Aperture 3.4.5 on a Power Mac. Whats up? Anyone know?

You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
running the effected files through Adobe DNG
converter again and then import your reprocessed
files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
coming into Aperture during the import process?
Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

CR2 Files Won't Open In Photoshop CS5 - Camera RAW Updates Won't Install...

I've had to take some photo editing work home from the office and I need to open some CR2 (RAW) files on Photoshop CS5. When I drag the files into the program I get a notice that my Camera RAW does not support the files.
I've tried downloading updates for Camera RAW, all the way back to 6.3 (I'm currently using 6.0), but when I go to install I keep getting the message "Some Updates Failed to Install" "Update is Not Applicapable".
The photos were shot on a Canon 5D Mark II, not that it should make much of a difference. I'm wondering what's going wrong? I'm running OS 10.5.8 at home and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge. Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed. Help!!

I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing. Then when I click to open them I get a message that says: "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates" "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111". I can't seem to figure out what to do! Help Please!?

Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:

Lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

I'm using CS 6 and lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

Let's see if I can simplify it for you...are you using CS6 (yes, it seems), are you having ACR problems (yess it seems). So, do you want to fix your issues? Then read this (pay close attention to the details)...
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
It pretty much says you need to download a different version of ACR and install it (if it's not too diffucult for you to understand) to get ACR & Bridge to work properly...or not. Your choice...

Gripe about Camera Raw Update & Adobe in General

I love what Adobe products do, but hate the rigamorale you have to go through to get them to work.
I bought a new Canon T2i and it wasn't supported. So I tried updating. The Adobe Application Updates manager doesn't work. I then tried the installer. It fires up the Adobe Application Updates Manager which didn't work. I uninstalled CS5, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and it still doesn't work. Finally got it to work. I found & got the zip file & replaced the old "Camera Raw.8bi" at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats.
In retrospect though I spent several hours working on this and got angrier and angrier at Adobe as my morning progressed. I noted that this issue (updating Camera Raw) is at the top of Adobe's list of support problems.
Several years ago Netscape sued Microsoft because IE was bundled with the OS and, thus, Netscape couldn't compete on a level playing field. One of Microsoft's counter arguments was that a user could uninstall IE. The process was so convoluted that the judge rejected Microsoft's argument.
Getting Adobe software to work is very time consuming and convoluted. We buy the tools for workflow productivity then have to deal with the getting them to work in the first place. And to add insult to injury, after paying through the nose for our software, Adobe charges us for support for their mistakes. And this is the third crash I've experienced in 6 months. I'm a struggling, sole owner, photographer and resent the time sink that dealing with Adobe software involves.
Adobe, are you listening? I don't think I'm the only customer ticked off at these neverending problems.
Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 no longer supports ftp. As a replacement I was thinking of replacing my Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 with Dreamweaver. After my experience with Photoshop I'm going to hobble along on Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 as long as I can and hope Microsoft adds ftp to future products or a good alternative to Adobe and Microsoft exists.

The version of ACR indicated in LR's help/about is the version of the RAW engine internal to LR, and not the version of ACR you actually have installed for Photoshop.
What does CS4 / Help / About Plug-ins / Camera RAW say the version is? And are there two versions of Camera RAW listed in the About Plug-ins.
Maybe there are multiple versions of ACR installed and LR is finding an old one, or perhaps LR is opening a file that was originally opened in a prior version of ACR/LR and LR can tell this by looking at the XMP or the LR database so is warning it may not be compatible even though it probably wouldn't matter. I don't have a Mac nor CS4, yet, so can only guess.

I am using Lightroom 4.4, I recently downloaded the latest Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4?

I recently downloaded the most recent Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4? My current Camera Raw plug-in does not recognize my new Canon 100-400mm lens.

Quote "I have downloaded the most recent DNG converter. I guess I was mistaken in thinking I could use this as a plug-in with LR. If I understand correctly, I need to convert image files taken with the new lens with the DNG converter and then load them in LR 4 in order to use the Lens Correction feature in LR. Does that sound correct?"
No, as far as I am aware the only function that the DNG Converter performs is to convert the raw files from a supported digital camera model to a DNG file format.
This will allow you to work with the DNG files in earlier versions of Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw that do not provide support for the particular camera model raw files. It has nothing to do with Lens profiles.

CS4 Camera Raw: Can't open multiple files ???

This is a very strange problem. I recently installed CS4 and started using it with RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark II camera. When selecting File -> Open As ->Camera Raw, I can't seem to select more than one raw file from the file dialog. I can open a single raw file no problem, but no matter what I try, either ctrl-A, holding down shift or ctrl does not allow me to open more than one file. With CS3 this worked fine.
Is there a setting in Preferences to control this (seems very odd even if there is)
PS: I see that there are two Camera Raw selections available in the file types list: what's the difference between them?
Thanks

If they're raw files then just use File->Open, you only need to go the File->Open As route if you want to open JPEG files in Camera Raw without going through Bridge.
There's no point in listing Camera Raw file formats because every camera produces it's own version anyway, a .CR2 file produced by one camera isn't the same as one produced by another camera which is why the Camera Raw plug-in has to be constantly updated.

HT1338 Camera RAW update for Nikon D4s

Do you know when would the next MacOS Camera RAW update? Right now 10.9.2 cannot open the Nikon D4s RAW.

Joshua Chung wrote:
No, the standard RAW still not working in OS X 10.9.2
(1) If by "the standard RAW" you mean none of the the RAW format combinations (such as those described on page 95 of your camera's User Guide Manual), there may be something wrong with your 10.9.2 install because at least one should work.
• Restart Mac.
• Use Mac's Disk Utility in Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions.
• Reinstall OS X Mavericks.
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart
that finishes the reinstall.
• Check whether any of the older D4 RAW file formats is now useable.
(2) If all else fails, pending Apple's update you can choose one of Nikon's options as described on:
page 91 of your camera's User Guide Manual (in part):
NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using software such as Capture NX 2 (available separately;) or ViewNX 2 (available on the supplied ViewNX 2 installer CD). JPEG copies of NEF (RAW) images can be created using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the retouch menu.
If you choose the ViewNX 2 option, be sure you are using the version that supports the D4S. As explained on page 269 of your camera's User Guide Manual, earlier versions that do not support the D4S may fail to transfer NEF (RAW) images correctly.
