Camera Raw won't open in Photoshop CS6

Wanting to begin using the Camera Raw plug-in for PS CS6, I find that it isn't active. (1) In Bridge CS6, the ACR icon in the top menu is grayed out; (2) after clicking a JPEG image file in Bridge, then right-clicking it, there's no option to open it in Camera Raw; (3) using Bridge's File menu, there's no Camera Raw option visible; and (4) in PS CS6, going from File > Open, then choosing "Camera Raw" in the Enable options drop-down list, each JPEG file is grayed out.
My attempts to activate Camera Raw involve (1) downloading DNG Converter 8.7.1 and (2) attempting to download ACR 8.3…Adobe Update. That second effort failed, getting this error code: "Camera Raw 8.3(CS6) U44M2P7". I currently have AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL and AdobeCameraRawProfile7.0ALL installed on a Mac running OS10.7.6.
I don't know what else to do. Please tell me how to activate Camera Raw using Photoshop CS6.
Thank you very much.

Benjamin, I thank you very much for your prompt and helpful e-reply!
I've downloaded and installed the ACR plug-in for v. 8.7.1.311 Now, files open in Camera Raw, as expected, when using Bridge CS6. That's great.
I have two questions, Ben:
1 -- -- Although the first three options that I mentioned above (working from Bridge) are successful, I'm unable to open JPEGs in Camera Raw directly from Photoshop [as in option (4) above]. I'd like to be able to open JPEG files from PS; is there a preference I need to set to get PS to recognize and enable ACR?
2 -- -- Should I now delete all files related to AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL? Or are those files required to run with the new plug-in?
Thank you, my friend.
Warren

Please help me , my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop or bridge

my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop cs6 or adobe bridge :S and i don't know what is the reason , when i try to open any of my raw photos i get this message
so what should i do ? please any one help me here
thanks

You’ll need a connection to the internet, and probably have a registered version to do updates. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for PSE to talk to the Adobe servers and see that you’re needing updates. If you are connected to the internet, then perhaps your computer has a firewall or internet security that needs temporarily disabled. So try some things like that.
You can also try downloading and running the updaters for ACR 8. CS6 from this Adobe blog page:

Camera Raw won't open or open any Raw files...CS6

Using a macbook pro and just installed CS6, trying to open Raw files, but they won't open and camera raw won't open either.
If I try open with photoshop it comes up with the message "Could not complete your request because of a disc error." Iv been on Disc Utility and everything seems fine with disc.
Everything is up to date, cameras I use are Nikon D700 and D3100 and these are supported so it isn't that it needs updating to support these camera models..totally confused as to what to do..any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

"Update" of what? ?? ?
Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details:
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Camera Raw won't open certain JPG files from Bridge, others open in ACR with no problem.

Edit: This was orignally posted in the Photoshop > Macintosh forum, which I failed to realize was read only. Thanks to a PM headsup, I'm reposting it here. Thanks
I've searched the internet and the Adobe forums and cannot find a direct answer to what I'm dealing with.
The issue I am having is that Bridge CS5 (current version 4.0.5.11) will open some JPG images in Raw with no problem and others nothing happens at all. All the images come from the same source (Fujifilm Frontier SP2000) so I really don't understand why Bridge ignores some of them as being openable in RAW. For example, say this roll of film has 36 images. If I "Select All", right click, and select "Open in Camera Raw", it will open whichever it deems acceptable in RAW and nothing happens at all to the others (The RAW dialog will, for instance, only open 10 images instead of all 36, and the remaining images are not altered in any way).
I've made sure that Photoshop is prefering Adobe Camera Raw with Supported Raw Files and in Camera Raw Preferences I have the box ticked to Automatically open JPGs with Settings but nothing helps.
My work around is to one file at a time in the Photoshop Open dialog, selecting an affected JPG file and have it open them as Camera Raw instead of Jpeg.
Any ideas? It's done this for quite a while and I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks.
Cary

Cary,
It could be an insufficient memory problem. Please supply details about your machine.

I recently switched from PC to a Mac Book Pro and some things are different. I used to be able to open a jpeg or tiff in camera raw on my PC in Photoshop CS6 by going to file, open as, picking my image under file name and "open as" click on camera raw. Ho

I recently switched from PC to Mac and I want to be able to open a tiff or jpeg in camera raw. I could do it on my PC but can't figure out how to do it in Mac??

Use File>Open, set Enable to All Readable Documents, then click on your tiff or jpeg and select Camera Raw under Format
Then click on Open

My images are going from from camera raw to totally white in Photoshop CS6, I am using a Mac computer.

I am using Photoshop CS6 and my images are opening up totally white from camera raw into photoshop.
I am using a Mac. Just recently switched from PC to raw, and never had this problem.

Is everything up to date?

Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

Video frame won't open in Photoshop CS6

I recently upgraded to CS6 and am having a problem with Photoshop.
In my previous version (CS5.1) I could drag a single frame of video from a .mov file and drop it onto my Photoshop icon and Photoshop would open that frame as new document.
But now in CS6 when I try to do this I get the following error:
"Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
Why won't this work now in CS6?
I'm on a Mac Pro, 12-core Intel with 24 gig of ram. Everything updated and licensed.
Thanks.

Hi Meredith,
I'll try attaching a little video, showing what I'm talking about. But here's a bit more detail.
I used to be able to open a Quicktime movie, scrub to a particular frame, and then drag that frame from the QT player onto the Photoshop icon in my dock and it would open in Photoshop as a new document.
The document would have the name "Movie Clipping", and it would just contain that single frame.
This worked regardless of the QT file's codec (H264, AppleProRes, Animation... etc.)
But when I try this drag and drop from the QT player onto the CS6 Photoshop icon, it always errors.
Hopefully this video attachment will work. Thanks for your help.

Camera Raw 7.3 Update replaced Photoshop CS6 Standard with CS6 Extended Trial version

How do I get back to Photoshop CS6 Standard edition after Camera Raw 7.3 update?
After installing the Camera Raw update photoshop now runs as the Trial version of Photoshop Extended.

I upgraded CS6 and Lightroom 4 today and then when restarting Photoshop CS6 this evening I get a dialog about registering with my e-mail for Photoshop Extended Edition Trial.
I have never owned the Extended edition and did the update from my existing product using the Adobe Update manager. There should have been no reason for this mistake to occur.
I've done upgrades like this many, many times before and have never had my system react this way. You clearly have a bug in your update process and should fix it pronto. Do you know how confusing it is to get a dialog like this? Should I let it register me for a product I don't own? Is that going to somehow trash my legitimate license (now there's the process of activation, I'm always concerned that I'll mess things up and end up unable to use Photoshop until support can help me out)
I'll go find my serial number and re-enter it, but I think this is a serious bug - and will make me much more cautious about waiting to apply updates until I've read the forums to make sure it's safe to do so

Is Camera Raw 7.3 available for Photoshop CS6?

I have Lightroom 4.3 and it keeps asking for Camera Raw 7.3 when I want to edit photos in Photoshop CS6 from LR. My understanding of the Adobe support site is that Camera Raw 7.3 is only available via the Update function in Photoshop. I updated Photoshop but LR still asks for Camera Raw 7.3 and Photoshop still shows Camera Raw 7.2 as the installed version (under System info) and the Update function says Photoshop is up to date...how do I fix this?
There doesn't seem to be an easy way round this problem. How can I download a discrete CR 7.3 executable? My OS is Windows 8.

Hi there, thanks for the reply. I can only assume you have Windows 7. My Windows 8 screens look like this...and Photoshop System Info the last image. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Camera Raw won't find update in CS6

I currently have Photoshop CS6 running on 32 bit Windows Vista. My current Camera Raw version is 7.0.0.308. I need version 7.4 (which is compatible with my camera)
Obviously, everybody in previous posts have said to use the update tool. Well for some reason my update tool says I'm up to date. No updates available. There are no links that I can find to manually download updated versions. I can only find them for the DNG converter because everything says "use the application updater to get this version" for Camera Raw.
Please help me get this version of Camera Raw!!! A million thanks!

The newest ACR versions only work with Windows 7 and higher, so that could be why nothing is updating.
Adobe has a help page with instructions for older-OS systems that tell how to manually install ACR 8.3, which is the newest version that works on Vista.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html
This help page was made because the first ACR 8.4 installer wasn’t smart enough to look at the OS and went ahead an installed ACR 8.4 even if that version wouldn’t run on the OS, so that is the scenario the instructions apply to most directly, but they should also work to upgrade an older ACR 7.x to ACR 8.3. You want to pay attention to whether you’re installing the 64-bit plug-in or the 32-bit plug-in because you only have 32-bit Windows.

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:
