Can't open DNG file in CS4?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D camera and want to be able to open my Raw images in Photoshop. I have CS4 which I know is quite old now. I downloaded DNG converter 7.3 which supports my camera but I still cannot open the DNG or Raw files. Actually the DNG files will not even dowload into Bridge. Did I miss a step?

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Can't open .DNG files in Preview and others

I am using Adobe DNG converter OR Lightroom to convert .RW2 from a Panasonic Lumix 3 to .DNG
This works:
1. Working with files in LR
2. Use PanoMaker to create panoramas
3. Create HDR with Photomagix
This does not work
4. Open files with MAC OS X 10.4.11 Preview (Vorscha) even though thumbnails look ok.
It says (in German) that it can not open the file
5. View files in Houdahgeo - Adding GPS info works
5. Use Photomagico to creat slide shows - only see thumbnails at the bottom
I also played with the settings in Adobe DNG Converter and LR (Raw 2.4, 4.1, 4.6, 5.4, User...Linear...Not compresse) but it did not help.
I searched multiple forums, found the problem twice mentioned on the side but never resolved. One hinted that its a problem since 10.4.11

Hi,
(1) I'd think that if Adobe makes a XYZ to DNG converter for MAC OS X the goal would would that the following can open such a DNG file
        (a) All Adobe Apps ..... it works ....... mission accomplished
         (b) The native DNG viewer in OS X which is "Preview" .... it does not work!!!
         Note: the above works if XYZ is Canons RAW. If it is coming from a Panasonic LX3 one is out of luck
(2) I just tried the above with LR 2.6RC and DNG Converter 5.6. Nothing has changed.
Anybody having an idea? work around?

.... 3 additional additions to my original message.
(a) I am still on Tiger 10.4.11
(b) The conversion if from Canon's CR2 to .DNG in Adobe Raw Converter (ARC) or LightRoom (LR) can be viewed in Preview just fine
(c) It almost looks like ARC or LR convert in way which is good encough for LR and a few others (Panomaker, HDR tools etc.) but not for all
Any ideas how to fix?

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Can't open RAW files in CS4

I recently bought the 5d mk2 and I cannot open RAW files. Had no problem with my 20D but 5D does not work. Tried to put new plug in into the plugin folder but it says that it is not recognised by windows or there is an error in it. Anyone help?

The only other thing I can think of is that when you installed 5.7 you put the older version in a location where it should not have been. If you are keeping an older copy it cannot be anywhere in the Adobe folder structure. It's best to just get rid of it completely. You can always download another copy if necessary. I know, this is a dumb question, but are you certain you are using Photoshop CS4?

Can't open ACR files in CS4 - HELP!

I have a Canon EOS 1000D and am using Photoshop CS4.
Every time I try opening it through PS I have a pop-up saying "could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". And the option to "open in camera raw" in bridge is gray, so i can't select it.
I've updated my Camera Raw Plug-In to version 5.7. (which is supposed to be compatible) and I still have trouble opening my files - both through PS and Bridge.
I'm in desperate need of help!

As Camera Raw is a plug-in, I'm wondering if somehow you haven't replaced the plug-in in the proper directory...
From Photoshop's menu, choose Help - About Plug-in. Do you have just one Camera Raw entry showing? If so, click it. What version do you see?

Can't open DNG file

Hi all, I hope there's a simple fix. Using DNG 6.3 to convert Panasonic LX-5 (RW2) files. Conversion goes fine, but my ACR ver. 3.7 within CS2 doesn't "recognize the file type" I've set the DNG converter preferences back compatible to 2.4. What am I missing? Thanks

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, and I apologize. But you are trying to open the DNG files, correct? I don't have any other suggestions because I have never encountered the problem you are having. Are you sure you have ACR 3.7 installed correctly, and only once?

Can not open NEF files in CS4

Hello all,
I just got CS4 and I am trying to learn it. I have a book and it is wonderful, however it does not answer everything. I am shooting with a Nikon D90 and I am taking the pictures in the RAW/NEF format. When I try to open them I get the following error:
Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
What can I do to make this run and get the most out of PS,
Thanks,
Mike

Did you read the installation instructions?
Manual installation on Mac OS:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the download file, double-click CameraProfiles.dmg, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Open the Finder.
4. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
5. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
6. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 5.
8. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
NOTE: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, follow these steps:
1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in Step 5 above.
2. Start Adobe Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.
Important: Purging the Central Cache deletes cached thumbnail information for all folders. It also deletes labels, ratings, and rotation settings for read-only files (for example, files on a CD or locked files) or file formats that don't have XMP support.

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

You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:

Can't open raw files in 32 bit CS4

Am using Vista 64 bit OS and because I recently purchased Nik Software's Complete Ed was necessary to change from initial set up of PS CS4 64 bit to 32 for their usage compatability. Had Camera Raw 5.0 on 64 bit version, copied camera raw 8bi plug in file format and placed in correct file format folder for the 32 bit version of PS. ...sounds easy enough...but when I attempt to open a raw file in PS or bridge it will not open and get message - Could not complete your request because of a program error. Camera raw does show up and only once under the About Plug In submenu. Have tried Purge Cache option. Can still open raw files as always in 64 bit version, save and reopen 32bit version to continue but hoping for solution to eleminate that hassle. Thanks for your needed advice!

Plugin's have to be rewritten for a 64-bit environment so copying the 64-bit ACR to the 32-bit folder won't work. You need the 32-bit version of ACR in the 32-bit CS4 folder.
I'm not sure if the ACR 5.6 updater will work to update both versions, or if you need to download and install the plugin's manually.
You can get to the manual install ZIP by following the PSE link near the top of the regular ACR 5.6 page linked on the updates page:

Can't open .ase file in Dutch Ps cs4

Hi,
I can't open .ase files in Dutch PS cs4. I have tried it with different .ase files.
Can somebody tells me what's wrong?
Thanks,

I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker. I am not sure what version they were saved in. The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
It's been a long time since I was up to speed on PageMaker. The pmd file extension refers to Pagemaker 5, right? InDesign should be able to import the output of PM 6.5 and PM 7, but I've found that the PM6.5 import is usually pretty decent, while for some reason the PM7 import is flaky. This probably is a result of changes in the way the documents were build by the, ah, "designers," and has comparatively little to do with the abilities of ID to open PM files of various versions. PM5, however, can't be imported by InDesign, I think.
What happens when you try to open them? Does InDesign crash, or does it fail without an error message, or ??? More details, please.
Is there a way to open this file. I also have a pdf that I created from this file. I have Acrobat CS4 Is there a way to export the pdf back to an Indesign file. Just another thought regarding this file.
Well, there's always the PDF2ID tool, but since PDF is an uneditable container format, the results of running a PDF through PDF2ID is not reliable. Sometimes you get something very much like the source document, but I've found that most often it is faster to rebuild from scratch. I didn't buy PDF2ID, but that is because my clients' bizarro formatting techniques break on conversion. A very simple document might come back a lot cleaner.
