Can raw file be open in iPhoto'09?

Please help!

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every +model+ not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
So, what camera do you have?

Just downloaded latest updates to Camera Raw for use with my new Sony RX100 M3 but still can't get the RAW files to open. Any suggestions?

HT3825 so how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant. I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder.
I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this.
I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest.
What does clicking Open rather than Done mean? Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

My raw files wont open in pse8 or dng 6.4, why not?

hi all,
I've got a sony 580 and I cant get my raw files to open in either pse 8 or dng 6.4.
I've updated the camera raw plug-in to 6.2.0.29, which i understand does not have support for the 580.
But the troubleshoot says to try dng instead which does list the 580 in its supported cameras.
any ideas why it wont work.
incidentally i find it very sharp practice for adobe to not support a major manufacturers raw files in a piece of software that's really not that old. (even if its not the mosr recent version of pse). I would not have purchased it if i knew i would have to upgrade every time i changed the camera body i'm using

thanks for the reply noel,
the camera body and pse8 were purchased a couple of months apart, so not really intending to replace either anytime soon......
my issue with it not working is mainly frustration i guess.... having spent a lot of money on the camera i did hope that the industry leading photoediting software (albeit the cut-down version) would work with it without any problems. I'm very happy with pse's performance once i can actually open a file lol
When i go to the folder where i have the raw files stored and try to open with dng it doesn't show any files. (yes they are definitely in there, they can be seen fine in windows explorer, and picasa will quite happily open them)
the version of dng is 6.4.0.139
the source folder says ' no items match your search ' when i select it

Trying to get raw files to open in pse8

Hi there. We are trying to get raw files to open in pse8. We downloaded and installed elementscameraraw6.3 but still not working? Can anybody please let us know what we are missing? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately new ACR updates are not supporting Photoshop elements 8.0 and DNG conversion is one option which could help !

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

Can you save Canon RAW files as TIFF in iPhoto 6?

I was just wondering...
Can you save imported Canon RAW (.cr2) files as TIFF files in iPhoto 6? I know you can view RAW files in iPhoto, but I need to edit them in Photoshop CS, which I don't think supports Canon RAW.
Thanks!
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Photoshop CS, not CS2 or CS3, etc...

Robert:
Yes, you can export them to the desktop and select
tiff as the format to save as.
Have you tried opening the cr2 files with CS2? PSCS3
can open and edit them.
Do you
Twango?
I am stuck with Photoshop CS, and have not chosen to upgrade to CS2 or CS3 at this time. For now, I will use iPhoto to export RAW files as TIFF and open them in Photoshop. Thanks for your help!

Downloaded raw 7.1 to my cs4 and can't open raw files taken with nikon d5100. d70 raw files do open

Need a solution to above question.

Raw 7 is compatible with Cs6 version of Adobe software, not with CS4.
Check this link :- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
and to open the Nikon D5100 raw files the minimum camera raw plugin required in 6.4

You can use the DNG converter with the CS4 to open this files, I think that will be the best option.

Mystery: How can RAW file spontaneously change to jpg file?

Although I have been using iPhoto 6 for some time I just noticed for the first time something strange when I dragged a NEF file (RAW Nikon file) from iPhoto and dropped it onto my desktop. What happened was that the NEF file suddenly transformed itself into a jpg file when I dropped it onto the desktop. Weird! I could hardly believe my eyes.
Later I noticed that the same thing happened when I dragged a NEF file from iPhoto and dropped it onto a Dock icon for Photomatix, a program for generating HDR images. The file opened up in Photomatix but it opened as a jpg file rather than as a NEF file. Holy Toledo!
What in the world is going on here? I hope that one of you iPhoto experts can tell me how NEF files can magically morph themselves into jpg files. I also need some expert advice on how to deal with this phenomenon.
By the way, I have converted many NEF files in the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in of Photoshop Elements, but to the best of my knowledge they have never changed identity from NEF files to jpg files when I handed them off from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements. In fact, in iPhoto Preferences/Advanced I have checked the "Use RAW files with external editor" box.

No mystery whatever,
When you import a RAW file into iPhoto it automatically creates a JPEG preview of the file. That’s what you happen to be looking at in the iPhoto Window. Drag it out and you always get the current version of the file. Want to get the Original - select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and select the Original in the dialogue and you’ll get your NEF.
This is all covered in the Help. Now what help do you need to “deal with this phenomenon.“?

How did you save them to iPhoto? Because you change the format from NEF to JPG then you must save them to the desktop and then import the JPEG to iPhoto.

Support for Canon raw files in panther and iPhoto

I can't get iPhoto 6 to import the raw files (.cr2) from my Canon 400D.
I can use image capture and also Elements 4 with Raw support, so I am not sure if its the operating system level (panther) or something else.
I did use iPhoto with my previous Canon with .CRW files and that worked fine to import them, organise them and then edit etc externally in Photoshop.
Is there any way out there to do this without upgrading the OS or iPhoto, I appreciate I have a way to continue working but miss the convenience of the easy import.

Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

Struggling to get raw files to open in Photoshop CS2

Feeling foolish.
Have new Canon 5D Mark II and shot first raw files. Went to open them in CS2 (my old 20D files opened fine there) and got error message.
Came to adobe site, download new camera_raw.8bi, followed instructions to move it into right folder, archived old. Nothing. Same error. Checked the "Help > about plug-ins >" and it only shows the one raw.
Went back to adobe site and looked into DNG converter (not sure why I need that -- can't I just open the files in CS2 like before?) and downloaded that zip (5.1). No instructions that I can find anywhere on what to do with those files. Dragged the .exe onto my desktop and fired it up, pointed it at one of the raw files and . . . got an error "there was an error parsing the file."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. In particular, I would like to be able to open the files in CS2, if possible.
Thanks

Thanks. Bottom line for others: if you have a 5D and CS2, you can't open raw files directly. You must use the (right) DNG converter. The link in the tech note brought me to a .exe (not a .zip) that installed the correct version of DNG converter, which solved the problem. Thanks again.
You almost have it right. You do not need the "right" DNG converter. You always want to use the most current version of the DNG converter. It will convert files from the most recent cameras supported by ACR, and those DNG files are compatible with any version of the ACR from 2.4 to the most current version.

RAW files not opening

There must be some folder on my system (OSX 10.6.8) that is missing or corrupted because I cannot open RAW files. Here's what happens:
When I try to open RAW files on Computer 1, they won't open.
When I tried reinstalling PS and the RAW converters, still nothing.
When I open RAW files on Computer 2, they do open.
The difference between Computer 1 and Computer 2 is that Computer 1 has had all sorts of things removed to keep it to a minimum size. It has worked fine for several years with every bit of software I throw it, including most of the Adobe Suite. Computer 2 is basically a clean OSX 10.6.8 install with nothing removed.
So, can anyone offer suggestions as to what could be missing from Computer 1? Sounds like something OSX comes with that PS expects to be there to open RAW files, but which no other Adobe software requires.

Raw files from which camera make and model exactly?
Which version of the Creative Suite are you running?

Raw files not opening in Adobe CS4

I just did the update for photoshop CS4 after finding out that I could not open Raw files, but after the update I still can't open them. I own the Adobe Photoshop CS4, and a Nikon D3100 camera. Is there something I have to download in order to get my files to open? I noticed the Camera Raw update 6.3, but that's for CS5 and is not backwards compatible...

Well, my joke stands corrected by the Great Insider hisself.
The funny thing is that I think this particular support policy is good, yet here we find ourselves arguing. It would be rather nasty but for the DNG converter solution, which I DID mention, and which turns it around completely and makes Adobe the good guys.
