Can't view Raw photos in CS

I just installed upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and can't view my Raw files in Bridge or have access to Camera Raw as getting not right kind of document. I have no problems with my prior CS2 showing my Raw photos. Does any one know the fix to this.

The download for the Windows version of Camera Raw 5.3 is a zip file. You'll need to unzip it to locate the 5.3 "Camera Raw.8bi" plug-in. Once you do that there should be an existing older plug-in located as per the instructions from Adobe:
Manual installation on Windows:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the download file, double-click CameraProfiles.exe, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Open My Computer.
4. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
5. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
6. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi 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.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 5.
8. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
If you don't have the directory "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats" you either don't have a normal proper install or you've got some block to seeing the directory such as an admin issue. You need to be running under admin level to do this. It's also possible the the location is different because you have a different boot drive letter or you are running under a language other than English in which case you'll need to navigate to the proper location based on your language which I can't help you with.

  • Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

    Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a  problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw  5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My  computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz  CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is  version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
    What I am  having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of  these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type  such as PNG or jpg.
    I have attached a screen capture of  what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before  opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a  difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on  other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get  this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
    As  far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still  running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this  without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

    I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
    With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.

  • Can not view my photos in iPhoto. All photos are black

    I have an iPad 3 and I can not view my photos. I can view them through the photo stream on my phone but on my iPad they come up black. I'm not sure what to do.

    Anybody have any idea what's going on? Is gif supported? Should I be able to view gif photos? If I can't what might be going wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

  • I can't open RAW photos (new canon eos 5.1) in bridge (cs5.1)- just get the logo

    Why can't I can't open RAW photos (from an new canon eos 5.1) in Bridge (cs 5.1)- just get the logo, no thumbnail, works in Finder.

    Ah ha!
    At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
    Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
    I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
    If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
    Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

  • TS3989 I can't view the photos in photo stream. When i click on the photo stream, automatically it goes back to home. Why is this happening? How do i resolve?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

    I was trying to Import photos from my Facebook photo to my MacBookAir and now all i got is lots of back round photo. Please Help me out to delete them.Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

    What that's telling you is that some of the photos you want to use are not in your Library but online in a gallery you have linked to. You need to download them first.

  • HT1766 how can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop

    How can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop?  Thanks

    You cannot view then in iCloud.
    Photos in iloud are only there for 30 days then they are deleted.
    You need to regularly sync photos from iPhone/iCloud to your computer.
    Sync them from iCloud to your laptop wiht iPhoto for Mac or -> iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • Can you edit raw photos in photo shop 11?

    Can you edit raw photos in photo shop 11?

    Hi,
    Are you talking about photoshop elements 11 or photoshop cs4?
    You can edit camera raw files with both of the above, but it might depend on the camera the raw files came from.
    What operating system are you using?
    Which camera are the raw files from?

  • Can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. is there a solution?

    i'm using a Nikon D3300 and can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. none of the plugins i've tried worked.
    please help.  i really don't want to have to buy a new version of elements or a new computer.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the Nikon D3300 requires camera raw 8.4 which is not compatible with PSE 10.
    Even worse, the DNG Converter 8.4 will not run on a XP or Vista comtuter.
    I don't know if the software that came with the D3300 will run on the XP system but if it does, your only option would be to use it to convert the NEF files to TIF files and then PSE 10 will be able to use the TIF files.
    I think that you really need to think about upgrading your system sooner than later.

  • HOW CAN I VIEW THE PHOTOS FULL SIZE

    HOW CAN I VIEW THE PHOTOS FULL SIZE,I click on view slide show but only stay in that mode for 5 seconds

    Hi Sandy,
    The slideshow in Starter Edition has very basic functionality. To be able to create a slideshow with music and other advanced options, you would need to use Photoshop Elements Software.

  • Ipod view RAW photos?

    Hi there, everyone.
    Just wondering if the ipod and itunes is able to view RAW files? I shoot all RAW these days and I'd still love to take my photos with me on my ipod.
    Before I could do this with my jpeg photos, just by pointing my pictures folder.
    Now my RAW files are in my picture folder (all RAW now)....
    So, is it possible to view RAW photo files on my ipod-video?
    thank you.

    One other thing some cameras save two copies of an image, raw and jpeg, so you may already have jpegs to put on your ipod. But this depends on your camera.

    You can use photostream instead to snyc your pictures across your devices, but not to the internet.

  • Viewing Raw Photos with in Ipad 2 Photo

    Have the Camera Kit for Ipad 2. works well. I do shoot a lot of RAW Photos. The RAW Photos do dowload and view in "Photos", but i have noticed the RAW Photo does not look "sharp"., JPEGS look fine. I tried an other photo viewing app and the RAW photos look good. Am I doing something wrong with Ipad 2 Photo?
    Thanks

    I haven't got iPad2.  On the iPad1, you can only see the embedded jpeg but not the raw image itself.  The jpeg images looked good because they were created directly from camera.
