Can Lightroom 5 corrupt RAW files?
I just started using Lightroom 5 and the following thing has happened to me twice within an hour.
Normally, I first rank the photos and then tweak a bit the 4* photos before I export them.
So I go through every file at least once, if not twice. As I was about to assign a keyword to the attached image, it suddenly turned into what you can see - it's been a totally normal photo. The weirdest thing is that the original RAW image is damaged, too. I did a bit of digging around and in theory, Lightroom has Read Only access to the original RAW files - yet the original file is corrupted, too.
Any guess what the cause might be? I'm using an older Canon 1Ds Mk III.
Lightroom doesn’t touch the files, it simply works with metadata. The problem is most likely to be hardware related. It’s really a process of elimination e.g. testing memory card, card reader, hard drive, external hard drive/network, memory (RAM) which sometimes fails on older computers.

Can you export a raw file photo with Lightroom adjustments attached?
Can you export a raw file photo from Lightroom with Lightroom adjustments attached in some way? If not what is the equivalent? There are some individuals I would like to send the full data of the raw file, but with the non-destructive Lightroom adjustments layered on top.
--GerryYou can select "Original" as the file type, in Export. This saves out a copy of the imported source file into the selected location, labelling the current adjustments onto that image. When this is sent to somebody and imported to LR / opened in ACR, these metadata will be found and used automatically, with the exact same outcome as within your own LR Catalog - provided the LR / ACR versions are sufficiently compatible, and provided camera and lens profiles applied to the image, are present in both contexts.
LR uses whatever method is normal when writing metadata, for each file type involved. So, if one imported file is a proprietary Raw file, LR will write an XMP file alongside. If another is capable of having metadata written into its file header, LR will do that instead.
One important difference between doing this, vs writing LR metadata out to your original imported file, and sending that: the Export Original method will work in the same way, just as successfully, for one or more Virtual Copy versions (duplicating physically as needed), as it will for the primary Master version - relating to a given imported file. -

If you don't use the DNG Converter to create DNGs from your raw files, then you'll need to purchase LR 5 to us LR with your camera that is newer than LR4; however, there is something you can do for PSE11:
ACR 8.3 will work with PSE11 to open 70D files, but there is no installer, so you have to be a little devious to get things to all work. You also need to be on a Windows 7 or 8 since ACR 8.3 supposedly doesn't work on Vista. I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE11 by doing the following:
Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928. Note that this is the folder without x64 in the path. PSE11 is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.
Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003. This is the largest file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE11 camera raw plug-in folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats
Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi_7 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE11 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

Corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5.
I'm having an issue with corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5. I have all of my RAW files stored on an external NAS system. Typically, I mainly work on my files on my PC's hard drive. The NAS is for storage only. However, in the past I have looked through the external files with Adobe Camera RAW and have called up files from there to work on, if it's a photo I want to rework. Recently I have started using Lightroom 5. So the other day, I added a folder from the NAS external to Lightroom 5 to look at some of the RAW files. A LOT of the files looked corrupt with white blocks and pink or yellow lines running across the photo. I closed lightroom and pulled up those same files in Adobe RAW and get the same issue. I copied them to my PC's hard drive and still have the issue. This has never happened until using Lightroom. I know Lightroom is not supposed to actually do anything to the files, however, this is very coincidental. Did Lightroom do something to these images, or was it coincidence that the files became corrupt at the same time I started using Lightroom? Any solutions?
I am wondering about the drive. I know that it is not the CF card and it wasn't a reader for the following reasons. I download directly from the camera to the PC without a reader. I downloaded these last July and worked on them on and off for several weeks without issue. I have also pulled up the occasional file from this same batch a couple times this winter without issue. It was only when I pulled them up yesterday in Lightroom that this problem occurred.

When will lightroom support d750 raw files?
when will lightroom support d750 raw files?
No one who knows can say and no one who says knows. I’d GUESS it’ll be before the end of November, around the time Canon releases the 7D Mark II which has already been announced by has a ship date sometime in November according to B&H.
While you’re waiting, you can download the DNG Converter 8.7 RC from Adobe Labs, and convert your NEFs to DNGs and import those DNGs into LR. The DNGC is in the CS6 branch of the ACR 8.7 download, here:

why can't do updates for elements 9 keep coming up as "error in system try later" I can't now process RAW files they come up as CR2. This has happened in lightroom 5 also

What is your program - Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9? If Photoshop Elements 9, you have posted in the wrong forum. You have posted in Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing). Although Camera Raw allows for the import of raw format image and dng into a Premiere Elements project as source media, you cannot "process" it in the Camera Raw dialog. You need Photoshop Elements for that.
If your program is Photoshop Elements, please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
Photoshop Elements
Some information that might help as you take care of the above....
Does your current problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Are you getting an error message (number/code) associate with your Help Menu/Update?
The latest version of Camera Raw that is supported by version 9.0/9.0.1 seems to be 6.5. Do you have that currently installed?
If you cannot get the program's Help Menu/Update to work for you, then download and install Camera Raw 6.5 from the following from Adobe
For Mac
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5263
For Windows
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update
What camera are you using to generate your raw format images.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
If it is not yet supported by 6.5, then
a. move to a later version of Photoshop Elements that supports a later version of Camera Raw that supports your camera.
b. use the dng converter

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D
why i can't open my raw file?
You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS. -
I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.
Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera? -

I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera. I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter. I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong? Thanks!
This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added] -
Can't find any raw files to convert when I am using Adobe DNG converter
Recently I purchased a new Olympus XZ-1 camera. I shoot exclusively RAW pictures (raw files for this camera are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop Element 8 it was imposible, nor then I could see those pictures in the organizer. By surfing on diffrent forums, I was able to figure out that Camera Raw included in Element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not supporting the .orf raw from Olympus and if I didn’t want to upgrade my Element 8 to Element 9 or 10, a simple alternative was to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my .orf files into dng files, which could then imported by Element 8 and opened in Camera raw 5.5.
I downloaded DNG converter version 6.6 and installed it in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that once inside DNG converter, when selecting the folder where all my .orf files are (Select folder), I can't see any raw files to convert there! I tried to select a folder with NEF files instead (raw files from Nikon) and it is the same problem! Why can’t I see those files of mine I want to convert when I select the folder in DNG converter?
I'm dying for help!
Thanks a lot!When you are selecting the folder in the DNG converter, you only click on the folder. You DON'T double click on the folder. After you have set your options, and chosen the folder, you click on the Convert button. It is only after you have clicked on Convert that you will see the list of files that are being converted. You will also be able to see an indicator of the progress of the conversion. It really does work. Just to verify, the procedure I outlined is one that I did just prior to trying to write the instructions. It really isn't rocket science. Just choose the folder, only the folder, and click on the Convert button.
You'll notice that the button prompts you to select the folder, it doesn't say anything about selecting a file. You only select the folder that contains the files. You will never see a list of files using this method. If you only want to convert one or two images you can use the other method. Leave the DNG converter closed, open the folder containing the DNG files in your operating system folder browsing utility, choose the file you want to convert, and drag it onto the icon for the DNG converter. That is how you choose individual images. -
i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?
Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12
Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12
Because your camera is newer than your software.
You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2. Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!
What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4. -
I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.
Unfortunately no - Photos use extensions and the vendor (adobe) will have to implement the extension to allow external edits in PS or PSE
For now you must export the photo, edit and then import - not great but a work arond
And you can continue to use iPhoto until Photos meets your needs - launch it in your applications folder - if you need assistance on this see Why won't my iPhotos open?
