Can't view RAW files in Organizer

I have Elements 5.0 and I just downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw 4.5 (latest version to work with 5.0) and while I can now edit raw files, I cannot see them as thumbnails in Organizer.
Is there something else I need to do? Does Elements 7.0 fix this problem? My camera is a Canon Xti.
I am unable to view RAW files as thumbnails in Windows Explorer either, and have been told it's a Canon driver issue, but I don't think that is related.
Thanks for any help.

This advice also applies to your case, PSE5 and ACR 4.5 (by the way, 4.6 is the latest version to work with PSE5)

Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

Hi,
I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
Thanks

If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

Can't view .mov files in Organizer

Hi
I am in the process of moving my video footage from iMovie (Mac) to a Windows 7 PC with Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.
On my Mac I have converted the files to .mov with the 'photo jpeg' codec, which seems to be a fair compromise between size and quality. (Sadly, iMovie has converted all of it to Apple Intermediate Codec on import, which seems to be absolutely impossible to handle on a PC, so I have to do something, since I don't have the original files anymore ...)
On my PC, the files play nicely in QuickTime - they even played in Windows Media Player before I installed QuickTime. (However, I don't see thumbnails/miniatures of the files in Explorer.)
But ... when I import to Elements Organizer, I can neither play the files nor do I see any thumbnails. In stead, I get this error message:
'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the requiered compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'
Which I don't understand, since my system plays the files perfectly on itself.
If I try to add these files to a Premiere project, they do play back (but look awful), and I am able to export a clip (which looks OK).
But the whole point for me of using Photoshop/Premiere Elements was to organize my stills and video in the same application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regarding the quality in Premiere Elements, do the MOV files have the correct dimensions?
For example, you expect 1920x1080 but are actually getting 1620x1080. That can happen if you forgot to unlock the aspect ratio during conversion on the MAC. You type in 1920 for horizontal width and then type in 1080 for vertical height, but don't see that the horizontal width was automatically adjusted to 1620. And off you go. That can make the video look bad in Premiere Elements, although it shouldn't affect whether you can view the files in the Organizer.
The MOV files shouldn't play back in Windows Media Player on a PC (at least on my system they don't), unless you have installed a codec pack or another application has been installed that installed a quicktime codec that allows playing MOV files in Windows Media Player.
When you are in Windows Explorer with the view set to Thumbnails, if you don't get a thumbnail image for the MOV files, you might be able to fix it with the Codec Tweak Tool. After installing and running it, click on the Thumbnail button and select the MOV option if it isn't selected. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Codec_Tweak_Tool. I'm not sure that will have any effect on the view in the Organizer, but it's worth a shot.

Can't view single file in organizer. Photoshop Elements 13 Mac

When I double click on a photo the screen is gray with a question mark. How do I view a single file?

Your post did not specifically say which version of Photoshop abnd Premiere Elements you have - I am guessing that you have version 9.
For both versions 8 and 9, the Organizer component is the same for both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. So since your specific question is about video in the Adobe Elements Organizer, I suggest that you also post this question on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum because it has more participants knowledgeable in video (and its technical aspects such as codecs). Here is the link

How can I view Raw files on my sd card without shooting in Raw+jpg.

It works in Lightroom, but not in Elements 9 which I like better than Lightroom right now. Thanks.

If you mean you are looking into purchasing Elements 11, then a suggestion would be to download and install the Trial version from Adobe, first, to make sure it is compatible with your computer. Sometimes Adobe changes their minimum system requirements or uses different underlying system resources, which can change how a product interacts with your particular computer.
LR and PSE are complementary to each other, so you don’t have to choose between the two, but you would want to use LR as the initial editor and then use LR’s Edit in Photoshop Elements to do any final touchup. I find I can do almost everything I need to do in LR now, and rarely use Edit In. If you are used to using Elements, entirely, and are new to LR, then it will take some time to adjust your workflow to best utilize both products.

Why can't I view RAW files in CS3

I have installed CS3 on a new MacBook Pro. I am unable to edit/view RAW files from my Nikon D5000 Digital SLR.
Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly.

You'll need to update to CS4 to get the updated Camera RAW plugin, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG before processing with CS3.

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Can't open raw files from a supported camera

Hi. I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates. I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model. It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera. Any ideas?

The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products. You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:

How do you view raw files on an iMac G5?!

Hello there,
I just recently received my first computer for 30 bucks. It's my first experience getting used to a home computer. I extracted some some rar files with "Unrar" but now I have these raw files, which won't view because I don't have the equipment it seems. I suppose "raw" means a type of photo file? Anyways I can't view these files until I get some kind of raw viewer. I've tried a handful of raw viewers but none of them really work. Most look like these funny documents that have no setup and I tried "fastrawviewr" which keeps saying archiving when I click it... Whatever archive means.. I also have this icon when I first got my iMac G5 name Macintosh hd, which was constantly trying to archive fastrawviewer. I have been stuck for 3 days now puzzled on how to view these raw files. Id appreciate some assistance, I can't continue with my project until I figure out how to view these raw files.

Not sure if you could use a good software editor to convert or manipulate such
large files in an older Mac. Usually RAW files take considerable space, use a
ton of system resources, and require extra storage, memory RAM + larger CPU...
And graphic processor with its own video RAM.
•How to identify iMac models - Apple Support
So with an old computer that may or may not be viable in its own limitation, you
may have some time of it, to make use of it as you seek to do a project w/o much
idea of what software still may exist.
If you have a device that creates RAM image files, see if there is a way for it to
make both jpeg and RAW or less huge files. Or only use the jpeg files and save
the larger RAW files for some other time when you get a later model computer.
•Graphic Converter - Lemke software:
http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/download/
see Graphic Converter version 6 or version 7
There is a software by the name Graphic Converter available (may run in demo)
that is a shareware. Note on their download page options and versions, the one
you'd need for use with the old PowerPC based Mac would be of a vintage that
may or may not be available. Their page should have an indication. While I had
an old version of Graphic Converter for Mac, for a Tiger 10.4.11 system, I didn't
use it much. Instead I used a combination of ToyViewer for Mac and the native
Preview application to edit images. Graphic Converter has other capabilities.
Not sure about the viability of or availability of the named software listed here:
http://www.pure-mac.com/graphics.html as most titles and their home pages
may not be available or could have survived but only for Intel-based late Macs.
Some cameras came with software. Nikon offered a trial run of something they
later sold, but that was limited in how it could work; later versions of the software
won't run on older OS X systems. And huge files require extra system resources.
Depending on the build model series Mac you may be able edit some images OK.
So what are the system specifications and available resources, by the numbers?
You could look into everymac.com and/or get mactracker.ca database to compare
your old iMac G5 specs to see what one you have. Also, you could go to a site &
use it to see specs https://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
For certain software to run, the computer may need some kinds of hardware upgrade.
Or some of the tasks could be well beyond the current status of the device.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Viewing Raw files (.NEF) from Nikon D300 in Preview (OS X 10.4.11)

Hi,
I can't view Raw (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D300 dSLR in Preview. I can view the ones from my older D70. I put this question on a photography forum, and the problem seems to be with the OS. The D300 and D3 are new and popular cameras. I have no other particular reason to upgrade to 10.5 yet - is there likely to be an upgrade to 10.4, or Preview, or a plug-in or something, that will solve this? (BTW I have no problem opening these files in Lightroom, but I like to use Preview to browse).
Richard

Richard,
Did you ever find a way around this? I am in the same boat. I use CS3 and Lightroom to view and edit the D3 raw images but would like to be able to preview them quickly with Preview or Photo Reviewer software which depends on the OS raw converter support.
The newest OS update available on March 20 still doesn't fix the problem. Maybe Apple will offer another update soon??

Iightroom version 1.4.1 cannot view Raw files

Im having trouble viewing RAW files taken on a Nikon D700.

Harvie,
Yes, that would be the case. The D700 came out much later than LR 1.4.1, and it produces raw files that that version of LR doesn't understand.
You can either download and use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNGs (which your version of LR will read), or you can upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom, for probably $99. (Rumour has it that LR3 will be announced in the next couple of days.) Personally, I'd do the latter. Lots of improvements since LR 1.

How can I upload raw files from my canon g7x to lightroom5

How can I upload raw files from my canon g7x to lightroom

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

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.
