Cannot update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1

When I try to update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1, from the 7.1 setup file I downloaded, I get the error:
"Update failed
Updates could not be applied
This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available."
If I go to help in Photoshop CS5 and click on updates, it says that all of my programs are up to date, but Camera Raw is still 6.7. It absolutely refuses to update to 7.1
I just traded in my Nikon D3100 for a Nikon D3200 and 6.7 does not support it, but 7.1 does, so I REALLY need it to upgrade because I like to shoot in RAW.
Please help????

The Adobe policy is to provide free updates for currently shipping products. The current version of Photoshop is CS6, the current Camera Raw is 7.1.
Providing backwards compatibility of older software with newer versions of Camera Raw is a major technical problem. Camera Raw is a plug-in with dependancies on the host version of Photoshop's SDK. Camera Raw 7.x is designed to use the CS6 SDK. Photoshop CS6 has different platform requirements than Photoshop CS5 had. So, trying to force fit Camera Raw 7.x to work in Photoshop CS5 would require a code branch of the Camera Raw code that would substantially complicate future development–meaning it would put a major dent in the development resources that Adobe could apply to future updates–a bad thing for current customers. Personally, as a CS6 user, I would not like that at all.
Adobe provides backwards compatibility for new cameras in old versions of Photoshop for free. Yes, it's an additional step but one that only costs a bit of time on your part. The free DNG Converter is capable of producing DNGs that are compatible back to Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS...and again, this is free and something that Adobe didn't HAVE to do...
You want new cameras to be supported in older software–fact is these new cameras produce new raw file formats that are proprietary and undocumented–it takes a lot of work o decode new formats. This problem is a direct result of the failure of the camera companies to adopt a raw file format standard that would eliminate the need for new camera format decoding...you are perfectly happy buying a new camera that creates a new, un-compatible raw format and blame only Adobe for failing to upgrade old software? Your expectations are unrealistic and you are trying to place blame on the wrong party, it's the camera company's who are at fault for not adhering to some sort of standard that would free users of the problems they face now. Blame the company that sold you the camera that is not compatible with your software...it ain't Adobe's fault.

  • Cannot update camera raw D7000

    I successfully reloaded CS5 on a new laptop.  However, cannot update camera raw (6.0 current).  Under updates, message is "failed to install.  Try again later."  Also, says to close Bridge.exe when it even isn't open so can't proceed.  However, is updated CS5 OK.  So, when trying to install raw update, it freezes up.  What step am I missing.  Cannot open my photo images and had no trouble on my other laptop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Updating Camera Raw from within Photoshop CS6

    I recently added an iMac to my photo processing system, and I'm not yet really familiar with it, so I don't understnad this problem:
    I downloaded Photoshop CS6, including Camera Raw 7, with no problem and it's installed and working fine on the iMac.
    But when I tried to work on a file from my new Nikon D600, I got the message that Photoshop couldn't open the file and that I needed to update Camera Raw. It told me to use the Help>Update selection in Photoshop in order to update to the latest version.
    Okay, I tried that, but got the message: "Update Failed. Update could not be applied. You are already running the Adoabe Application Manager, please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates."
    Well, as far as I can tell, it was using Help>Update that launched the Application Manager. There were no other "instances" (whatever they are) of Application Manager in use, as far as I know.  Further, I can't remove Application Manager from my computer by dragging its icon to the trash.
    What am I doing wrong? I really want to have the latest version of Camera Raw so that I can work on D600 NEF files directly without having to convert them to DNG.
    Help ?!
    Thanx.

  • Cannot Update Camera Raw to 8.3 in Photoshop CC Education Package

    I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has experienced the same issues as me. I need to install the latest update for Camera Raw 8.3 and am having no luck. When logged into the creative cloud application, it shows me that Photoshop is up to date (screenshot 01). After checking About Plug-in . Camera Raw, I can see that I am running version 8.2.0.94 so I tried updating directly from the help menu in Photoshop CC (screenshot 02) and the option is not available. Last, but not least I was able to find the standalone download for both camera raw 8.3 and the beta version of 8.4 but both will not install, giving me an error that the administrator has suppressed updates (screenshot 03) which is not true as I am the admin.
    Can someone please help me with this asap? I need to install this as soon as possible as we have upwards of 30 students using the Nikon D610 and unfortunately we cannot open any of the .NEF into Photoshop. If there is any other relevant information you think I did not provide, please let me know and will try to get this info updated.
    Thank you and hopefully there is a solution out there.

    I guess that I should add that I am also an individual CC member at home and do not have the same issues there. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I feel like this is isolated more to team, educational, or enterprise users.

    See if the suggestions, here, help, although this was back with CS6-cloud, not CC, so may not apply 100%:

    I'd suggest that rather than deleting the file, you move it out of the folder to somewhere else, in case things get worse and you need to put it back.
    I found this by Googling the error message. 
    If you can't figure it out, you might post in the "Downloading, Installing and Set Up" or "Adobe Creative Cloud" forums  since it seems to be related to the Cloud updates, and not necessarily ACR plug-in functionality, and I've seen India support people actually tackle problems posted there, which rarely happens in the ACR forum, although an ACR engineer may sometimes pop in to answer questions, they'd be less likely to know how to fix deployment issues.

  • Cannot update Camera raw 5.7 on PSE 7

    Anyone can help me on this update process?
    I purchased an PSE7 and sucessfully installed into my pc(window XP SP2), Since I am using a newer camera and tried to open raw file. and it said 'did not support this type of file", I immediately update the camera raw by clicking help>update and found 1 update shown in the window box. I clicked update and download procedure follow, after that they installed automatically and finished updating in less then a minute. I closed the PSE7 and opened it again, it still cannot open the raw file, i check the help>system info, and I still saw camera raw 4.5, that means it was not updated , so anyone can guide me this or help me out what happen? I am not very good at computer, please explain detaily so I can try step by step. Thanks

    ACR 5.7 only works with PSE8+. 
    According to the updates page, the latest version that works with PSE7 is ACR 5.6.  And I have both PSE7 and PSE8 on my computer and can verify that PSE7 gives an error message about the ACR 5.7 being incompatible if I overwrite ACR 5.6 with ACR 5.7 in the PSE7 directory.
    An issue with the originally posted version was it was missing the CameraProfiles.exe that installs all the file-based camera profiles and that the instructions referred to PSE7 for the install location even though it was talking about PSE8 in the rest of the instructions.  Both of these mistakes have been corrected, but this won't make ACR 5.7 work with PSE7.

  • After updating Camera Raw from 8.4.1 to 8.5, it revert back to 8.0

    During last Creative Cloud periodic update, I saw in the list the update to ACR 8.5. After the update, I have checked, and on both Bridge and Photoshop, the version of ACR reverted back to 8.0. Before of the upgrade was 8.4.1. In the order, I tried to:
    1) Update from internal functions of Bridge and Photoshop. Update check result was that there wasn't available update (ACR appeared in the list as application)
    2) Install manually ACR 8.5 from a manual update package indicated in a similar post on this forum.
    3) Uninstall both Bridge and Photoshop.
    4) Re-install Bridge and Photoshop.
    After all actions, the ACR version available is still 8.0. I'm really surprised, because I can't understand from where is coming the 8.0 version, considering that my version before the update was 8.4.1.

    I don't know how geeky you want to get, but if you're comfortable navigating around folders and zip files, here's a manual technique that will work...
    Close Photoshop first, then:
    Download the 8.5 manual update link from here:  Don't run the installer, but instead just Open the zip file in Windows Explorer.
    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.5.50/setup.zip
    Navigate inside the zip file to find the resources inside that correspond to the 64 or 32 bit Photoshop version that you're running.  I assume you have installed the 64 bit version, so the rest of the instructions will concentrate on the 64 bit Camera Raw.8bi only.  Here's the path:
    setup.zip \ payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245 \ Assets1_1.zip
    The file within Assets1_1.zip, named 1002, is actually the Camera Raw.8bi file for 64 bits, just with a different name.
    Copy 1002 to your folder on your computer where your Camera Raw.8bi normally lives, e.g.,
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
    Rename the old Camera Raw.8bi file to Camera Raw.8bi_8.0.  It's important that the extension is changed to something other than .8bi.
    Rename 1002 to Camera Raw.8bi
    Run Photoshop and verify the Camera Raw version by choosing Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw.

  • Photoshop Elements cannot open Camera RAW from Canon EOS 7D Mark ii

    I just bought Canon EOS 7D mark ii camera.  I have Photoshop Elements 12.  The program is unable to open RAW images.The message is "the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of camera Raw".
    I downloaded 8.7.1 plugin but that is also not able to open the image.

    You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7 Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 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 DNG files will open in PSE12 (keep your CR2's 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
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Here are Adobe's answers:

    You need PSE11 to get the latest ACR updates.
    With PSE10, you can use the free Dngconverter indicated in that paper to batch convert whole folders of raw files to the DNG format which your present ACR version can read and edit. (Scroll down to find the links).

    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    You need DNG Converter 6.7 or later, but download DNG Converter 7.4 (or 8.1).
    You need ACR 6.7
    When you convert the NEF raw files using the DNG Converter 6.7 or later, then PSE 10 will recognize them.

  • Can't update Camera Raw 8.3

    Just bought Elements 12 and it wouldn't import my RAW files from my Olympus OM-D E-M1 camera. I assumed that's a result of Camera Raw not being updated to the latest revision so I checked to see if there was an update available and sure enough, there was. That's where the good news ended. I can't run the update until I quit both Elements Organizer and Elements Auto Analyzer. Quiting Organizer is easy but there doesn't appear to be a way to quit Elements Auto Analyzer on the Mac. As a result, I can't run the update and can't import the RAW files. This is an example of poor programing on so many levels it's embarassing. At the moment, I have a totally useless piece of software.
    I'd love to have a shortcut to work around the problem but Adobe really needs to clean up their act here.

    Consider
    Trying to update it with the full Photoshop version can be done, but this will prevent future automatic updates from working.
    I would question that generalization. Specifically,
    a. If you had Premiere Elements 12, updated Camera Raw from 8.2 to 8.3 manually using the files pointed to, if and when there is a Camera Raw 8.4, I do not see any problem updating Help Menu/Update or manually for that 8.3 to a projected 8.4.
    In the case relating specifically to this thread, Premiere Elements 12, I see no reason why a manual install of 8.3 will prevent future updates of that Camera Raw version if there are more released that are compatible with 12.
    b. However, if I had version 11 which probably did not support Camera Raw beyond Camera Raw 7.4 and did a manual install of 8.2 (which I know can be done), I would not expect to use Help Menu/Update to update that "8.2" to "8.3".
    And updating manually with "full Photoshop version" here will get you the same Camera Raw 8.3 with all its "Elements" disabled features just as always when comparing to Help Menu/Updates  by the book.
    I base the above on my personal experience with version 11, where I manually installed Camera Raw 8.2 and obtained the results cited.
