Can't convert RAW files to .psd...help!

When I open a RAW file using Camera RAW in Photoshop Elements 9 on my Mac and try to save it as a .psd or .jpg or even a .tif, the extension of the file stays at .CR2 and does not want to convert my file. I had no issues yesterday...just today. I rebooted and even updated the Photoshop software.
Help please!
Julien

If you've ever opened the Saving preference in the editor you will need to manually enter the file extension from now on, or else delete the prefs and never open that particular pane again. This is a known bug in the mac version, and not just for raw files, but for any file where you do a Save As.

I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
See the following for more info.

New mac pro slow converting raw files any help?

hallo everybody,
can someone help?
my new mac pro 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 is converting raw files in camera raw really too slowly, about twice the time took with an iMac 2,7 GHz.
I tryed all graphic processor options on PS preferences.
I also ran mac check up utility and hardware seems ok.

The normal suspect would be that you haven't rendered out the previews, but the low cpu value would indicate that the problem actually lies elsewhere. Even so, it would do no harm to run the Render Standard-sized preview command (Library module View menu)
Next thought is the operating mode. Lightroom 2.x can run as either a 32-bit or 64-bit application. With the amount of ram you have installed (very low for a box with this sort of power) you might find 32-bit is the best choice. You can change the mode by clicking on the Lightroom application icon then use the Get Info command (Cmd+I) to open the info panel
Tip: you would be well advised to increase your installed ram. Lr likes plenty of ram, especially in 64-bit mode. A good starting point would be 6GB or even 8GB

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

Can I convert DNG files which were saved as compatible to Camera Raw 6.6 and 7.1 to ones only compatible with Camera Raw 6.6 which would reduce their size from 60 MB to 20MB?

I have been converting my Fuji RAF files to DNG with Lightroom preferences set to make them compatible to Camera Raw 6.6 resulting in approximately 60 MB files. I found that by changing the compatibility to 7.1 only the files are only about 20 MB. Is there any way to reconvert the files to only be compatible with 7.1 and make them about 40 MB smaller? I have not been embedding the original files in either case.

Ah, it might ignore files that are already dng. It might work if you uncheck "Only convert Raw files" but I haven't tried that myself. If it doesn't work that way, try using dng converter and replacing the original (make a backup first) with the new dng file created by the converter. Lightroom should just start using the new dng if it has the same name and is in the same location.

Sounds like you somehow got the mac version.
Download the windows 6.7 camera raw update from this link:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 Update

Need a plugin to convert Raw files with CS 6 standalone version. 8.7.1 version of ACR is not compatible with CS 6 in non-cloud form.

We have a site license for CS6 for our company and for the past year have not been able to convert RAW files from our newer cameras using Adobe Camera Raw. We do not want to use the Cloud version as we work off laptops in the field and overseas and even our offices have only dial-up for internet access where we are located in Monterey.
Can anyone recommend a plugin raw converter so we can continue to batch process our files with CS 6?

The camera raw 8.7.1 plugin should work fine in the photoshop cs6 non cloud license version.
The only exceptions being if you have mac os x 10.6.8 or windows xp/vista, then 8.3 is the newest camera raw plugin that works.
Which operating system(s) do you have?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get the 8.7.1 camera raw plugin.
Here's an 8.7.1 camera raw plugin installer for photoshop cs6

Cataloging Archive Drives And Can Not Import RAW files from Kodak DCS Pro

Tried with bridge and photoshop and they will not open DCR file
How can I convert this file to a DNG...do I need to go old school and download a older version of camera RAW or go to an old MAC te a os that supports Kodak's DCS host software

There is a separate DNG converter tool from Adobe, whichnyouncan download as freeware.
No idea though if this does support your special raw format.
This is often used to help people with LR3 but newer cameras, which are supported in LR4.x only.
Going for an older camera raw version will not solve anything, since older formats are always readable by newer versions (provided the file is uncorrupted).

How do you convert Raw files into jpeg.

I have never shot in Raw before and I have a huge project due tomorrow. I need help Asap. What is the easiest way to convert Raw files into jpeg, can Light Room convert the files. I have tried so many different ways and nothing seems to work.

It depends on the sofware you have. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop can convert ("open") raw files, as can Lightroom.
However, not all camera models are supported by all versions of the software. We need to know the make and exact model of the camera that generated the raw files to advice you further.
We can also assist you with the conversion through ACR hosted by Photoshop.
Olease note that there are dedicated forums for Lightroom, for Adobe Camera Raw and for Bridge.
Here's the list of which cameras are supported by each version of ACR. Note that later versions supporte all camera models supported in previous versions of ACR.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
Note that the latest version of ACR to run in CS4 is ACR 5.3;
CS3 runs ACR 4.6;
CS2 runs ACR 3.7;
CS runs 2.4.

Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

Hi,
Sorry, but with the information you have given, the only answer I can give is "possibly".
Each camera model produces a slightly different raw format - even different models by the same manufacturer and even if they have the same extension (file type). The latest cameras will not be supported by older versions of Photoshop Elements although there is a converter which can help.
To give you a better answer, we need to know
1) The camera make and model
2) The version of Photoshop Elements that you are using
3) The operating system that you are running on.

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

Andy,
In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
Upgrade the host program version
Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert. If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here. Google.

I can't delete raw files in bridge

I can't delete raw files in bridge anymore. I used to and it worked. Now if I click delete button, nothing happens.

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again
