Cannot open raw files in LR 3.4

I cannot see or open any raw files. Mine are NEF files from a D7000. I was able to open in PS5 but my trial just ran out and can't purchase until next week and I am in a bit of a time crunch. I do have 64 bit vista and I know there have been issues, but I thought it was fixed with this latest version. I have downloaded most recent adobe raw updates. Thank You

Do I understand you correctly that you can import your NEF-files into LR directly from your memory card but not the RAW files that are already on your hard drive?
If this is so then something must have happened to these files. In which format are they? You mentioned that you previously edited them in PS - did you use Photoshop itself or did you use the RAW plug-in that is accessible in Bridge?
If you edited them in PS you could not have saved them in NEF-format. PS cannot save in true RAW-format. There is a so-called RAW file format in PS but that is not the true RAW format that comes out of your camera and LR cannot read this PS-RAW-format. Which format did you use? LR can only read and open certain file formats - apart from the camera-RAW (like NEF), it reads TIFF, JPG, PSD.
As a beginner in LR you would benefit from watching some of the excellent Adobe tutorials that are available on the Adobe website.

Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
any ideas for next move.
Mick

Hi,
According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

Cannot open raw files on CS4 extended even with plug in

Cannot open raw files from canon eos 400d in photoshop Cs4 extended. I have updated camera raw plug in and DNG converter but still no luck! I cannot get the images off the camera onto a file. Help, images of my 5 month old daughter are on the camera from when she was born!

>I cannot get the images off the camera onto a file.
I presume you're on PC (since you don't bother to give that rather critical bit of info). On Windows you'll have to set your camera to be a mass storage device in order to even see the raw files. Best bet is use a card reader as you really shouldn't be trying to transfer image files directly from the camera. It's really slow and as you've found out, it's not "easy" like a card reader.

The 650D wasn’t supported until ACR 7.2 that was released the beginning of October 2012.
Adobe only updates ACR for their current version of Elements, which is PSE 11, not 10.
So you’ll either need to update to PSE11 or use the DNG Converter 7.2 to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and open them in the older version of ACR.

Another alternative would be to get Photoshop Lightroom which doesn’t cost a lot more than Elements and will give you more raw processing capabilities, and you’ll still be able to do Edit in Photoshop Elements for any pixel editing with your older version of Elements:

I have Elements 8. I have bought A Nikon D750 and take Raw files. I have downloaded Raw 8.8 file converter, but cannot open Raw files

I have Elements 8. Raw converter for my previous Nikon D300s worked ok. Now I have D750 cannot open Raw files. I have downloaded lastest Raw converter from Adobe 8.8
Still cannot open Raw file. Get message "cannot open as it is wrong type of file" How do I get the latest Raw converter to work with Elements 8? Any info gratefully received.

Are you saying you converted from NEF to DNG? If so, after you convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format, the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Canon 7d mark 2, raw file updater 8.7.1 cannot open raw files!

Can anyone help!! I have the Canon 7D mark 2 and have downloaded the raw file updater 8.7.1 and still cannot open raw files on my macbook.

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7.1 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1

It's a way of opening the Raw files from your OM-D EM-1 without having to upgrade to LR5.
In short, you open the Raw files from the camera uing the DNG converter, convert the Raw files to DNGs. Then you edit the DNG files in LR4.4.

I just began month trial of cs6 & cannot open raw files from nikon 600?

Have you updated your Photoshop to get the latest Camera Raw update patch? If not go to:
Help >> Updates
This should get you the necessary updates for your camera assuming it is not "too recent".
Good luck and post back.

CS3 - Cannot open RAW files

I am new to the forum. I just purchased a new PC w/Windows 7 (64 bit). CS3 was reinstalled on the new PC. Now I cannot open RAW files. The error message states "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document." Adobe tech support advised me that Adobe products currently do not support the 64 bit. I have no clue how to proceed. Help!!!!!

I, too, am new to this forum,
so please excuse me if this seems redundant. Last night I downloaded an
upgrade of CS3 onto my HP computer. It runs Windows 7.
I remembered that I had to download a new ACR software, after the RAW file would not open in CS3. I downloaded the software, extracted ACR, but it will not open. On top of that, Bridge is telling me that it may not be compatable with the OS of my HP.
Any help will be appreciated.

I recently reinstalled cs2 and now i cannot open raw files. how can i get them to open?

i cannot open raw files anymore

You shouldn't need the dng converter for the nikon d80 as camera raw 3.7 should open them.
In photoshop cs2 if you go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw, what is the version?
Also, you need to unzip the camera raw 3.7 update and then copy the Camera Raw.8bi to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 64 bit windows 8 system
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 32 bit windows 8 system

Cannot open RAW file with new camera

I just purchased a Nikon D610 that I use to shoot RAW files. When I inserted the SDHC card in my Mac, I got a message that "Photoshop cannot open this file. If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help>Updates..." This is the first time I've had this problem. With my former Nikon D600, the RAW files opened right away with no problems. I installed Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 and DNG Convertor 8.6, but it still doesn't work.

I've got some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is the D610 is supported in Camera Raw but you need a minimum of version 8.3 for it to work out-of-the-box. I know CC works with updates; I believe CS6 does too w/ updates. If you have anything earlier than that you need to upgrade.
The good news is that the D610 is supported in DNG Converter since version 8.3 but I don't know why it's not working for you. What's happening when you go to convert? Same error message?

PSE 8 cannot open RAW files

I use Canon 1000D and S90.
I have an iMac with PSE 8 installed.
I download the RAW files via an USB cable and acces them via the hard drive.
When I double click on a CR2 file in Bridge, PSE 8 states that it does not recognize this type of file.
I searched the Adobe FAQ / help sections and followed the instructions given there, i.e. deleted the Camera Raw plug-in and re-installed PSE8.
Consequently, I now have Camera Raw Version 6.2.0.29.
However, I still cannot acces RAW files.
In addition to PSE 8 I have LR3 (version 3.4.1) installed with Camera Raw 6.4.1. - I cannot import RAW files here either (I am a complete novice in LR3).
Checked for updates in both programs and downloaded and installed all available.
Suggestions on how to solve this will be very much appreciated.

In Bridge I double click on the CR2 file - and it is not recognised in PSE 8.
If I skip the Bridge part (and close Bridge down) and attempt to open directly from PSE 8 via File - open I can see the picture, but it is sort of dimmed (like in not active or accesible).
The two options below say:
Enable: All readable documents
Format: Photoshop Raw
The option "Open" is dimmed out and not available.
If I change the Enable option till "All documents" - the CR2 file is not dimmed, however, the "open" button is still not active.

Cannot open raw files in CS3

I went through the steps of downlaoding the plugin and replacing it, but I still cannot open the files. Any other suggestions? I am trying to open a Canon CR2 file.

If your Cannon is a recent model you will need to download ACR 8.7 with the DNG converter and create DNG files for your Cannon CR2 Raw file for CS3 can only use ACR version 4.6. ACR support for Cannon cameras

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

Cannot open raw files from my Nikon D3200 in Elements 11

After I found I could not open raw files from my new Nikon D3200 in Elements 10, and did a couple hours of searching the web site, I upgraded to Elements 11. Elements 11 also will not open the raw files from the D3200

I found the solution in a Light Room forum. The problem was I was using an older version of View NX2 to transfer the files. I uninstalled that version and installed the version supplied with the D3200. The files now load into Elements 11 with no problem. Apparently the old version affects the content of the NEF files, as Elements was not able to recognize them, and gave an error message that the files were from an unsupported camera.
Thanks for looking into this, Don Rieser
