Can't Open Photoshop-saved RAW file in Photoshop...

I've just gotten back from my school's library, where I was using one of the scanners to scan my negatives. I scanned the files directly into photoshop CS3. In retrospect, I absolutely should have saved in tiff, which has worked before, but this time I saved the files in raw. This is Photoshop Raw, not Camera Raw. I assumed that I could open these files back on my home computer (Photoshop CS4), but apparently I was wrong. If I try to open any of the raw files, I get a dialogue box called "Photoshop Raw Options", and if I hit "OK" I'm told something about missing color profiles, then I'm given an image of gray noise. If I change any of the settings in the dialogue box (files were saved at 16-bit grayscale with Mac byte order), I am told that "Specified image is larger than file," and I can't open the image.
What's going on? Why can't I open in Photoshop files that I just saved in Photoshop? Have my past few hours just been a total waste?

Yep, pretty much unless you know the exact size and can correctly fill out the required dialogs required to open a Photoshop "raw" file. The "raw" format is not, as you've found out related at ALL to Camera Raw. It's really a holder over format from the early years used back when there weren't some file formats available on some computer systems...and yes, you SHOULD have used TIFF.

CAN NOT OPEN CANON EOS20D RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

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.

How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number.
If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor. If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:

I can't open or view RAW files?

I have two Macs. One is an iMac and one is a Macbook. I usually always use my iMac for photo processing and storage. And I use an external hard drive to store all my photos.
Now I recently had to take my macbook with me because I was going out of town and could not transport my iMac. But I was missing a lot of updated things on my macbook, such as my preferences and settings, apps, files, etc, since I rarely use it... and I wanted to transfer all that to my Macbook without the use of tedious uploading and formatting. So I reformatted my macbook by backing it up onto an external drive, erasing the disk, and then migrating my data from my iMac to my macbook. Everything seemed just fine with all my latest settings and files where they should be... until I opened a folder or Bridge and could not view or open any RAW files.
It said I did not have enough access privileges. I am the admin of both my computers, but I do have other accounts for my mom and 2 others for whatever reason (they have never interfered before). I rarely use those accounts and they are NOT admins. But it said that only my mom's account had the privileges to read and write the files on my external hard drive (which has all my photos.) I logged into her account, and sure enough, I could view and open all the RAW files. I can view and open jpegs on my account now, but not any RAW files.
I tried going to "get info" on the external drive, and it said that everyone could read and write. But when I went to individual folders and files, it said only my mom could read and write. And even when changing the permissions so that everyone could, it still didn't work.
I also have the latest software updates... I have tried doing disk utility. And right now it's still going, saying it has 8 hours left, and so far there are hundreds of thousands of problems. It never was like this until just today.
I really need to get this problem solved. I have work to do and without being able to even see my RAW files, yet alone edit them, makes it really hard. I also want to avoid creating a new account because my account now has all my personal stuff... from all my music on my iTunes, to my actions, to my settings, applications, etc. And it would be very hard to redo all of that. So it would be great if I could somehow fix my user privileges.
Does anyone know what to do? I'd appreciate any help from you!

Can't open Canon 6D raw files

I'm using windows XP and Lightroon 2.7, and am having problems opening Canons 6D RAW files, I can use CS6 but I like LR better.

You need LR4 to open file from 6D. And LR4 doesn't run under win XP.

Can't open canon g16 raw files. I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16. I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files. The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files. I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that. What am I doing wrong? I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw. My canon 60d raw files work fine.

Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4. You should ALWAYS update to the latest version. Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6. I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
Did you install ACR correctly. ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway). What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Can't open Canon 70D raw files with elements 12

Can anyone advise me why elements 12 will not open my Canon 70D raw files? When I have tried to update elements it tells me that there are no updates available. The Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plugin is version 8.0.0.137

The Canon 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
EOS 70D
CS2
8.2
5.2
Camera Raw 8.5 should be available for Elements 12 via Help > Updates
Photoshop elements 12 and camera raw 8.5
If you have windows XP, Vista or Mac OS X 10.6.8 you won't get the camera raw 8.5 update, because it doesn't work on those operating systems.
In that case you should be able to update to Camera Raw 8.3

Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

Daag Kees,
>[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
>[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
>What means "using Bridge" ?
Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
Prettige Kerstdagen!

How to open Canon 6D Raw files in Photoshop 7.0? [was: CR2 Files]

why did my Photoshop 7.0 stop opening CR2 files

Photoshop 7 is only compatible with Camera Raw 1.0.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
To open, Raw files from the Canon 6D you need Photoshop CS6, CC or CC 2014. Adobe no longer sells CS5 or earlier.
Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
Use that to convert all Raw 6D files to DNGs then try opening the DNGs in Photoshop 7.

PSE 6 can't open Rebel T3 RAW file.

I just bought the Canon Rebel T3 and shot off a few pics using RAW. But when I try to open them with PSE 6, it tells me it can't do it. I HAVE the 6.4 update installed. What am i doing wrong?

Hi,
According to the Read Me file for ACR 6.4
"The Camera Raw 6.4 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS5 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. "
So I'm not sure how you applied it or whether it is compatible.
You may need to upgrade PSE or download the free DNG converter.
Good Luck
Brian
