CS2 Camera Raw Problem - how to see my images?

A few weeks ago I had a complete PC failure and as a result I now have a new PC running Vista.
I have reloaded PS CS2, which is fine for all my needs but now I can't open my Camera Raw 2 files from my Canon 5D.
I realised that I had made an error when I downloaded the latest version of the CR Plug-in since that is not compatible with CS2.
so I replaced that version with Version 3.7.
Now when I use PS CS2 I get an error message as follows;
Unable to use the Camera Raw Plugin
It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.
When I check in Help>About>PlugIn it either,
Shows two Camera Raw Plugins - Version 5.40.57 and Version 3.7
Or, if I delete the Camera Raw.8bi file from the CS2 PlugIn folder I am left with one CR PlugIn but it is always Version 5.40.57.
I know there should only be one CR PlugIn but how do I get it be the correct on i.e. Version 3.7?
I know I made a mistake downloading Verson 5.4 but how do I now correct this so that I can open and edit my .CR2 files?
Thanks
Catrin

You will be better off removing both plug-ins from both locations and then downloading ACR 3.7 from here:

and installing it, following the instructions exactly.

Creative cloud License problem / Camera raw problem / Linked ?

I have bought a CC 1 year licence.
Quite every time I start Photoshop CS 6 it says that the CC trial period has expired (I installed CS6 premium from trial a few days before CC was activated)
It ask to connect oline to activate - then it activate properly but again next time I open ask for activation.But if I am not online it's not working !!!!
Each time i try to use camera Raw from bridge (command + R ) it says that a proper software needs to be activated before so I can't do batch processing but if I try to open one raw image in photoshop from bridge it opens camera Raw then opens properly in Photoshop CS6.
Is there a link between the two problem ?? why ask for activation every time ? how to use Camera Raw ? How to work ofline????
Licensing system looks very buggy !!!
We have paid and are unable to use it because of the licensing system it really not normal!!

Yes Have to License over and over
Sometime it says 30 days trial, sometimes 29, sometimes 00 days
I can license or go on trial ....
But to licence I have to be online...
Macos 10,7,3
And over and over but not each time I start photoshop ... but sometime several time a single day !!
Looks I am not the only one in this case according to the forum...

Export them back out: File -> Export, and set the Kind to Original
Or,
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

I use a Nikon d610 and my Photoshop Elements 10 won't open in camera raw. How can I fix it? The camera version is 6.7.0339

i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

Hi,
The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.

What is your version of Adobe Camera Raw, Bridge, and Photoshop?
What files are you trying to open in ACR? If Raw, for what camera model?

How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

In capture, i can control the dvd camera, but i can't see the image,...

Hi,
I posted the same issue.
I upgraded FCE 3 to FCE 3.5 on Mac 10.4.6
At first I had nothing: every attempt at capturing resulted in shutting down of FCE.
After upgrading to QT 7.1.1 I now have device control but the capture proces is aborted as there seems to be "no video" (miniDV deck)
Everything is normal with iMovie 6

Camera Raw problem with new Nidon D90 and CS2

Please forgive me if this is a repeated question . . . but I need some advice . . . I just picked up a new Nikon D90 tonite . . . I'm using Mac 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2 . . . when I tried to open my raw files in Bridge, I get the message that these files cannot be recogniized . . .After searching Adobe support I just have more of a headache . . .I primarily shoot Raw . . . and have never had a problem with CS2 and Bridge with my Nikon D80 . . . Please give me some advice . . .Thanks so much in advance . . .David

Of course you get an error! The D90 didn't come out until way after Adobe stopped upgrading ACR for Photoshop CS2. You will never have support for your NEF files with Photoshop CS2. If you don't want to use the DNG converter you have several choices. Upgrade to Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 2.x, purchase Photoshop Elements (latest version, although Camera Raw doesn't have all its features in Photoshop Elements), purchase some other software that will support your NEF files. The only way you can have the support for your NEF files in Photoshop CS2 is to use the DNG converter.
A lot of people complain that it is an "extra step" to use the DNG converter. You have to download the images from your camera anyway. Just use the DNG converter to do that. It will take a little longer than a normal download, but once the download/conversion is completed your workflow is no different than it otherwise would be.
Camera Raw has matured greatly since Photoshop CS2. You purchased an outstanding camera. It's now time to upgrade your software. ACR is little more than a toy in Photoshop CS2.

Camera Raw problem

I would like to be able to open a file that is already opened in editor? The only way I can currently open one in camera raw is by going to the File dropdown, then Open As, then choosing Camera Raw, and then I get a default list of DSC files. Prior to that it was a default list of BO files. Very slow and awkward.
Yesterday(before my Camera Raw upgrade to 5.4 version, I was able to open any file from either Quick Fix or Full Edit and the first screen I got was the Camera Raw settings. I know it can be done but I don't know how to get back there.
Any help will be appreciated.

Lightroom & Camera Raw problem

I really cannot make any sense out of Camera raw and the other adobe products.
I have Lightroom 2.4, and if I click on the "about" option, I get told I have camera raw 5.4. However I have no DCP files installed, and so no camera calibration options. All I see is "Embedded".
Also installed are Photoshop Elements 7 (Camera Raw 4.5.0.175), Premiere Elements 7 & Photoshop CS3 (Camera Raw 4.0).
I am not an expert in this, and I find the instructions on the adobe site completely confusing and hopeless.
I juts cannot find any reference to how I get a CR update for my Lightroom. I have found 4.6 for CS3 which I understand i sthe latest, but I simply cannot find out how to get the camera profiles installed from any update. Can someone help.
Thanks
Colin

Thanks everyone. I got more info on this one post than in an hour looking round Adobe’s web site.
I also checked the FAQ's before I posted. There are 31 messages there, I've checked again, and none of them have RAW or Profiles in the title. Now there may be something in an article, but I didn't spot any relevant titles.
I also did a search on the forum itself for Raw & Camera profiles. There were a number of articles in there, but no CLEAR statement like you guys have just given me. I did find one that explained where the DCP files were (admittedly on an XP machine although this wasn't mentioned in the post). So I searched in the equivalent position under my User on Vista. Unfortunately I've now discovered Adobe has moved them to
I then compounded the problem by checking the wrong file in Lightroom. I basically store photos for myself and my wife on my PC, and on my Canon I always shoot RAW. So I then looked at the 1 jpg from my Canon this year!!!!! (well OK maybe there's a few more, but you know what I mean.)
But this is all part of the problem. It appears that we need to be experts to find the simplest of bits of info. It is still not clear to me how I update CR for Elements and CS3 (but I think at last I've found it.). Those who are professionals or experienced users can find info relatively easily, but a hobby user like me who might only need to look here once a month struggles to get answers. That's why the forums are so good.
So thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Adobe Bridge cs5 V 6.0 camera raw problem

Hey guys I went to correct a few photos I took recently, Like anyother time I do this I open bridge find the photo I want then click open in camera raw...here is a picture of the photo in bridge no problem,
When I go into camera raw this happens to every photo, this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today, I did not install any new programs or change any settings at all... Please help!

this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today,
I'm not sure what your problem is but I suppose you mean the red color in the sky? This is a warning sign for highlights exceeding the visible range, like the blue color indicates the same for blacks.
If you bring back exposure you will see the red color change as you can do with other sliders.
Top left and top right of your histogram in Camera Raw you see a black and a white triangle with a square around it. If you click on triangle the square disappears indicating the warning color is set to off.

Camera Raw problem with Chromatic Aberration

I am using bridge CS5 (version 4.0.5.11) and working in camera raw. In the lens corrections tab in the manual control I have lost my chromatic Aberration controll, this is to say, it has disappeared. I now see under the manual tab I now see the transform controlls, below that I see lens vignetting. The chromatic aberration conrolls have disappeared, where have they gone and can I get them back and how do I do that?

They're gone for good as of Camera Raw 6.7 and newer.
Adobe replaced them with an automatic process they say is better, and to be honest it usually works very well.
Folks have posted about a few cases where it doesn't work, but they seem to be exceptions, and so far Adobe is showing no signs of restoring controls to the user.

Win XP, PS CS2, Camera Raw 3.7 = can't open Sony A300 ARW files

Hello,
As I wrote in the title, I have windows XP with SP3, Photoshop CS2 (9.0), Camera Raw 3.7 but I can't open my ARW files in Photoshop and I can't see them in Bridge. I installed Camera Raw properly as I saw in instructions. Then I cleaned cache in Bridge but it didn't help. Then I downloaded DNG converter + Camera raw and repeated procedure. Again, nothing. I can't convert ARW to DNG format. Any suggestion? Except to install CS4 (I have PS installed on my office PC and there's no way that I could get CS4). Thanks for any help .
Have a nice day!
R.

Thanks for your answer. When I wrote that I followed the instructions I realy meant that (I'm programmer in RL so it's not so strange to me )
I removed existing file from
Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
and extracted new file into the same location.
After that I opened Adobe Bridge and purged central cache.
When I started Photoshop and took a look at plugins, I've noticed that I use camera raw 3.7, not 3.0 as it was before. So I was sure that I did it correctly.
But it didn't help.
Then I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 3.7 update from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=3588&fileID=3378 and did the same. Without any success. You write that I should use DNG converter 5.6. I didn't see that version on CS2 list, so I thought that it's not compatible.
Thanks again Jeff for your help.

Win PSE7 Camera Raw Problem

Hi,
When I was using Elements 5 and CS3, I was able to open JPG files in the Camera Raw editor by viewing the files in elements organiser and sending them to CS3 for editing.
Now I've upgraded to Elements 7 this doesn't happen. How can I regain this functionality???

A possible solution is the following:
1) Use PSE editor to conduct raw adjustments.
2) Upon completion open file
3) After file openned, select edit in PS CS(3).
I had this exact problem right after loading PSE7. I always use PS to do my editing - cause I have it. Because I considered this a major flaw, and it continued the downward trend in integration between PSE and PS (started with PSE6), I have finally moved away from PSE (for now).
After purchasing Lightroom 2, I noted it exhibits same issue so I believe there is a connection between PSE7 upgrade and LR functionality. The real difference being LR has ACR as part of the package and all you have to do is toggle between Library and Development to conduct the ACR adjustments (vs launching editor). One can argue ACR is part of PSE too, but it just doesn't feel like it, particularly if one is using PSE soley for the organiser (like I do) and only as a "front" for PS.
Integration wise, I prefer the Lightroom method for now. Since I'm new to LR, I have more stuff to learn/digest before I jettison PSE.

Camera Raw problem; images appearing soft and without definition on import

Can anyone help? I am having problems with ACR version 4.6 ( I cannot upgrade ACR without upgrading to CS5). When I open a RAW image in ACR, the image appears soft, and with poor definition. As a result, they have failed quality control for upload to the Alamy picture library, despite having been shot with a Nikon D3. I am simply opening them with ACR defualts, then opening to photoshop.
The files open fine in Lightroom and Nikon Capture NX, however I prefer to use ACR for my workflow. Any suggestions? I don't what to shekll out for CS% if the problem is still there.
Thanks, Robin

Have you tried resetting defaults? It sounds like either your Camera Raw default settings have been changed, or sharpening has been set to Previews only.
1. Open an image in Camera Raw, select the Details tab, and check that setting are like defaults: Amount 25, Radius 1.0, Details 25, Masking 0. You can always reset defaults from the little menu icon on the right of the panel title.
2. Check Camera Raw preferences, looking for the item: 'Apply Sharpening to:' and make sure it says 'All images'.
You might want to check other preferences too, especially the 'make defaults specific' settings, which, when used, create multiple default settings depending on camera and ISO.
