Cannot Install Camera Raw Converter 5.2

I get an error message telling me that there's an error and that I should abort, retry, or ignore and implement remaining updates. What should I do next?

Brian - In CS4, Bridge has the option of "pre-starting" when you turn on your PC. This "pre-start" has the following impact:
- Makes your PC boot-up take slightly longer
- Makes Bridge start up faster
- Can cause the problem you are having (since Bridge is active even though you don't know it)
If you haven't tried it already, Go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced in Bridge and turn off "Start Bridge at Logon". You will then need to close Bridge and you may also need to re-start your PC. Then you can try your update.
Hope that helps.

Cannot install Camera Raw 5.4

I get messages telling me that I should download and install Camera Raw 5.4. But when I download it and try to install it, I get a message in a popup windown telling me there is an error and it will not install giving me the option of trying again, doing it later, or aborting. When I go to Photoshop CS4 my plugin shows Camera Raw twice. When I click on the first installance (help-plug-in), I have a window popup telling me that it is Camera Raw 5.3.0.15, when I click on the second instance of Camera Raw, I get an error message telling me that it already exists.
Is there a way of uninstalling Camera Raw plugin, and installing the new Camera Raw 5.4? Or, do I want to have both of them in which case, how do I install Camera Raw 5.4?

Search all the directories under your c:\Program Files\ for camera raw.8bi
(or camera*.8bi) and see how many you find.
If you only find one and it's in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
then there aren't really multiple copies and I'm not sure what you tell you.
If you find more than one, then try renaming the one not in the directory
listed, above, to
Camera Raw.8bi.err or something then try the camera-raw 5.4 upgrade, again.

Cannot install Camera Raw 6.6 in CS 5

I have tried to install the update for Camera Raw 6.6 but I keep getting an error message. It says "some updates failed to install" and then says "update is not applicable". It says to "Contact Customer Support for further assistance." I ran the Adobe Support Advisor and it has the following message "Inspection found an issue but cannot determine the cause or corrective action. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support". I have classes to teach tomorrow evening and some of my students shoot NEF format.
I have tried and cannot open the files because I get a message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
I have read through some of the forums which say there is a problem with Camera Raw 6.6 in regards to RAW and NEF files. I updated to Version 12.0.4 in CS 5 32 bit and have also ran the Camera Raw 6.1 with the same results. I also updated the Adobe DNG Converter 6.6, Adobe Air and Adobe Support Advisor.
This is very maddening and seems to be a big issue for many people.
Can someone direct me to the solution for this issue.

I'm sorry you have not had a response yet, and I am not going to be able to give a definitive answer either. I can't see if you have mentioned what platform you are using?
Recent ACR updates have installed outside of the auto update process for me, mainly because I see a heads up in places like tis forum of DPReview, but the updater still tries and fails to include ACR. When I check it is already installed. That does not sound to be the case for you as you say you have unsecessfully tried to open NEF files from recen Nikons.
Have you tried downloading ACR manually outside of the updater?

Cannot install Camera Raw 7.2 update

Hi there,
i used abobe download asstant to download and install elements 11. then used elements - help - updates to download and install raw 7.2. however i cannot open any of my rx100 raw .arw files.
camera raw is not listed in help - about plugin
im using windows xp sp3, and have two physical internal hard drives ( C drive for OS, f drive for data/program files)
i asked adobe to install elements into F:\Program Files\Adobe
i can see that elements auto installs some data to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe
including what looks like the raw plugin post update
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw
only thing i can think of is rule out two drive issue, uninstall and reintall all to c drive to see if fixes to help elements 'see' plugin
or is there any way to 'force' adobe to see plugin?
any assistance appreciated
many thanks
rob
p.s. experienced it chap, but new to elements and adobes photo software!

you will see here
http://www.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/elements11/trialfaq.html
thats confirms pse11 is a fully funtional software package and the trial version contains no limitations - uninstall/reinstall works as normal (i have currently done this three times)
pse11 remembers how far through the trial you are on the same pc
when you first download pse with download assistant it asks for a download directory and this directory subsequently contans all the program files necessary (1gb+) to reinstall pse11 should it be required.
Barabra - i had alread hit uninstall so continued...!
i tried installing to c drive only and same symptoms where pse11 works as normal but not picking up the plugin . but i think i may have found the issue when trying to copy the orig pse11 download/installation folder to another xp machine to rule out this one as the cause. when it got to data19.cab it hit an crc error, so i think my root problem is the orig download could well have some corrupt files.
so currently going back to drawing board on pc2 with XP for a fresh download/install to see how i get on (and this one only has one hard drvie anyway)
also possiby of interest after a little digging last night. within editor. Edit - Preferences - plugins it is possible to specificy to pse11 where to look for plugins. i don't think will help me right at this moment though.
many thanks,
Rob

Cannot install camera raw 6.3

I downloaded camer raw 6.3 from the adobe downloads site but I cannot install it. There is no camera raw 6.3 installer.exe. There is an AdobePatchInstaller.exe but it returns an error code "update is not applicable" when I run it. Any suggestions.
Jim

I don't know what the origin of that message is, as I don't use Lightroom, but it could be just telling you that to get the best possible integrated raw file experience you need to have Photoshop CS5 to go along with the version of Lightroom you have.
I don't know what kind of camera you're using, but it could be that installing the Camera Raw 5.7 update for CS4 might get rid of the message:

Cannot install Camera Raw Plug In

I downloaded Camera raw 3.7 Am told to install in Library/application support/adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats
Problem is, I do not have any of these folders past Adobe. I can get to Library/application support/adobe and that's where it ends.
So, do I need to re-install photoshop to get the rest of the folders (plug-ins, etc.) Or what am I doing wrong?
I am working in CS2. My camera is a D70.
Thank you for your help

You are looking in the wrong Library.
 
 You need to start your path at the Root Level Library, not the one in your username.

Installing camera raw

Hi
i sent the following question a couple of hours ago:
I am trying to install the latest version of camera raw, v6.6. I have downloaded the update file. However when i run the patch installer i get the message that it is not applicable. Does anyone know what the problem is and how i can get round it?
Unfortunately i forgot to state that I am using Photosphop Elements version 9.

However, You cannot install camera Raw 6.6 on PSE 9 as it is not ment for that.
For installing Camera Raw 6.6 you need to have PSE 10.

I installed Camera Raw 8.3 but still not working for my Nikon Df

I installed Camera Raw 8.3 but still no images of my Nikon Df are visible nor open in Bridge or PS CS5, Can anyone help? Many thanks, Geert

Camera Raw 8.3 is not compatible with CS5 so I suspect you've actually got Camera Raw 6.7 installed.
In Photoshop, click Help (Windows) or Photoshop (Mac) > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
The Nikon Df was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.

You cannot open Df Raw files in CS5 so you'll have to convert to DNG then open the DNGs in CS5.

Cannot Use Camera Raw out of LightRoom 4

Below is a lengthy dialogue that I just had with Tech Support via Chat regarding accessing Camera Raw directly out of LightRoom 4. The end result is that it can't be done. LightRoom 4 has it's own "Develop" section and if you try to "Edit in: PhotoShop 6" the RAW image will bypass Camera Raw and open directly into PhotoShop. Something that I was surprised at and frustrated by. I thought for sure I was missing somehting.
I do not recommend buying LightRoom other than a means of "organizing" our images. I simply use Bridgne and am able to open a Canon "CR2" Raw file directly into Camera Raw and then after making my adjustments directly into PhotoShop. LightRoom lacks Layers, Paths and Channels and a host of other wonderful adjustment / manipulation capabilites not found in LightRoom.
So, if you are like me and want to use Camera Raw prior to going to PhotoShop then LightRoom will not get you there. I spent a tremendous amount of time researching it thinking I must be missing something and then I contacted Support via Chat and we went through changing %AppData%, which only resulted in me losing all my PhotoShop Preferences! A total waste of the Technician's time and mine.
I share the below chat with you only to show you the ludicrous amount of time wasted when the answer remains the same: YOU CANNOT ACCESS CAMERA RAW DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM 4
Thank you for choosing Adobe. A representative will be with you shortly. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 3 second(s) or longer as there are 1 customer(s) in line ahead of you.
You are now chatting with 'Soumyadeep'
Soumyadeep: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Soumyadeep: Hi Fred!
Fred: Hi there my friend. I am trying to use Lightroom 4, but frankly am not happy with the way it handles RAW files.
Fred: I cannot open a Canon ".cr2" RAW file directly into Camera Raw from LightRoom.
Soumyadeep: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
Fred: Thanks. I have also gone through all of the information I can find in the "Help Menu" looking up everything. Can't find a thing on LightRoom 4. I did not have this problem with Lightroom 3.
Fred: The RAW file that it references is "DNG".
Soumyadeep: I understand that you are unable to preview cr2 raw images in Lightroom 4, am I correct?
Fred: No, I can preview it, but when i want to open it the only choice I am given is CS6. I cannot open it into Camera Raw and it actually choses a completely different and inappropriate plug in from NIK Software.
Soumyadeep: Thank you for confirming.
Fred: I know I can change that in the "Prefernces" in Lightroom 4 but I can't find Camera Raw to select as the choice.
Soumyadeep: I will be glad to assist you with this.
Soumyadeep: May I have the serial number of the product please?
Fred: I just checked again and it is set to a NIK Software plugin as an external software to open the file.
Fred: Yes, let me get it for you.

Fred: OK, how can I easily get the bloody serial number for you?
Soumyadeep: Fred, I have locate the serial number in your Adobe account.
Soumyadeep: Once you login to the Adobe account, click on "My products" under the "My products and services".
Soumyadeep: There you can locate the serial number which you have registered.
Fred: OK, so you don't need it now. It isn't in a format that I can copy and paste.
Fred: 116040070815784336099081
Soumyadeep: Since it was registered in your Adobe account we can get the information from there.
Soumyadeep: Thank you for the serial number.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I would like to inform you that all the raw edit options you will get in Lightroom develop module.
Fred: I hope I copied it correctly it is presented so small.
Fred: OK, just a second.
Fred: So, I go to "Develop" it will open in Camera Raw 7.01?
Fred: Frankly, this is the reason that I have just been using Bridge is because of the seemingly lack of coherent connection between LightRoom 4 and PhotoShop CS6.
Soumyadeep: I would like to inform you that you will not have any separate camera raw plugins for Lightroom. Since Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
Fred: At least I can open into Camera Raw and make the necessary adjustments and it will load in to PhotoShop.
Fred: OK, then why when opening a "RAW" image out of LightRoom does it go directly to CS6 bypassing Camera Raw?
Fred: Not allowing all of the wonderful adjustment toos, particularly the new ones in Camera Raw. I just don't understand the disconnect.
Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know which product you are referring as "CS6"?
Fred: If I had wanted to process all my images in LightRoom I would not have wasted my money on CS6. Does that make sense?
Fred: PhotoShop CS6
Fred: Or PhotoShop 6 Extended
Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
Fred: The question still remains "Why does LightRoom 4 only recongize DNG files and not other RAW file formats and not allow them to be opened into Camera Raw?"
Fred: I don't want to process my images in LightRoom 4. I want to catalog and sort them. I want to process the RAW files from Canon in Camera Raw and then move on to PhotoShop 6 Extended.
Fred: So, what you are telling me is that I can't open a RAW file in LightRoom into Camera Raw. Simply stated.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I can understand your concern. Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
Soumyadeep: May I have the name of the camera model you are referring?
Fred: Two camera models: EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 60D
Soumyadeep: Please so that I can check further and try to troubleshoot your issue.
Soumyadeep: .Thank you for the information.
Fred: Both are listed as supported by Adobe PhotoShop and Camera Raw. I found that in my research.
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe applications.
Fred: I simply want to go from LightRoom 4 directly to Camera Raw 7.01 and then onto PhotoShop 6 Extended. Seems pretty straight forward and logical to me. Then again I'm not Adobe.
Fred: OK, just a moment and I'll do that.
Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know what operating system you are using?
Fred: I am working on Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
Fred: I have closed all applications from Adobe.
Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
Soumyadeep: Just type %Appdata% in the search box and hit the enter key.
Fred: Ok, Im pretty computer savy so just tell me where you want to go.
Soumyadeep: Double click on Adobe folder.
Fred: Done
Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder CameraRaw. Please rename the folder as CameraRawold.
Fred: Done
Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please rename the folder as Adobe Photoshop CS6old
Soumyadeep: After renaming the images please close the page and try to open a raw file and let me know the exact result.
Fred: Done
Fred: Just a moment. I have renamed CameraRawold and Adobe6Old. i am going to navigate to my external drive and click on a RAW File
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Let me know the status.
Fred: It is opening PhotoShop 6 Extended.
Fred: I can change the properties of the file to open in another program if that is where we are going.
Fred: It also created an error that stated that it recognized graphic software that is not completely supported and PhotoShop is not opening normally.
Fred: Given a little more time it opened in Camera Raw.
Soumyadeep: Fred, once more step you need to perform as you got an error regarding graphic software.
Soumyadeep: Please try to work on the Camera Raw and let me know it is working fine or not.
Fred: And I lost my presets.
Fred: OK, where does this leave us?
Fred: With regards to LightRoom 4?
Soumyadeep: Fred, you wanted to open the raw images in Camera raw option instead of Photoshop CS6, right?
Fred: Camera Raw appears to be functiong fine.
Soumyadeep: Great!
Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe application.
Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K.
Soumyadeep: Let me know once you are done.
Fred: Checking the "CR2" files out of Canon the dafault to open is with PhotoShop 6
Fred: Ok, let me close all of them.
Fred: OK, closed sir.
Soumyadeep: Please navigate to Performance tab.
Fred: "Performance Tab" in what program?
Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K
Soumyadeep: A new window will pop up "Preference"
Fred: Just a second it is opening. Thanks for help.
Fred: I am now at the Prefernces box. Performance Tab
Soumyadeep: You are welcome.
Soumyadeep: Correct.
Fred: OK, I'm in Preferences
Soumyadeep: Please let me know Use Graphics Processor is checked or unchecked.
Fred: It is checked. I do know that on this machine that the graphics processor is not fully supported due to a lack of a separte video card.
Soumyadeep: Okay. Please do check once that the graphic drives are updated or not.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I hope now your are able to open the raw images in camera raw as you were referring?
Fred: Just a second. Driver software is up to date.
Fred: Let me open LightRoom 4 and see where it goes. Just a second.
Soumyadeep: Sure.
Fred: Lightroom is taking a long time to open now.
Fred: Now I'm getting the message that it is not responding.
Fred: OK, it finally opened. Just a second.
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Please let me know the result.
Fred: In light room when I select "Edit In PhotoShop 6" it is going directly to Photoshop 6 and not opening Camera Raw. Still.
Fred: So, my friend. We are still back to the original question and now I have to reload all of my preferences lost due to the change in AppData. LOL!
Fred: I guess I can organize all I ant in LightRoom and still use Bridge to edit and work on my images.
Fred: Sorry! Organize all I want and still edit out of Bridge.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I am sorry to inform you that when you will open the images from Lightroom it will not require the camera raw and also when you will try to open the images in other software from Lightroom it will directly open in that software. Since Lightroom itself works as a Came

Jim, thank you for an excellent responce. I truthfully had researched the "Help" section on LightRoom and PhotoShop and found nothing that even remotely resembled your straight forward and easy to follow directions. After upgrading to CS6 and LightRoom 4 I am delighted with all of the new features that Adobe created in PhotoShop. I'm not sure that LightRoom 4 was as great an advancement as PhotoShop itself.
I am certainly going to give your solution a try and see how it works out for me. I concur that I probably do not fully understand and appreciate the relationship between the two programs. Today was my attempt of gaining a better insight to that relationship. Thank you for your response!

I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it?

I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it? The reason being in LR5 when I want to edit the images in Photoshop Layers, the message comes that I need to install Camera Raw 8.6 for compatibility. Even
After installing Camera Raw 8.6 I am unable to install the plugin in CS4. Please advice.

Camera Raw 8.6 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC. There is no way for you to install it in Photoshop CS4. The message you are receiving means that you need Camera Raw 8.6 to have full compatibility with Lightroom 5. But in that message you are given the option to edit a copy that includes the Lightroom adjustments. That is the option that you should use. Lightroom will create a copy (PSD or TIF, depending on your choice in Lightroom preferences) and will send that copy to Photoshop CS4. Then you can use Photoshop and all of its features to continue editing your image. When you close and save the image in Photoshop, it will appear in your Lightroom folder along with the original raw file.
Another option you could use would be to use the free Adobe DNG converter to create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw files. Those DNG files would be compatible with the Photoshop that you have now. Your other option would be to upgrade your Photoshop.
