CS2 USED to open my raw files, and now it doesn't. HELP!

This is probably addressed somewhere but Ive looked and have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I previously had an imac G5 with CS2. I purchased a new camera (Canon 5D) and the computer had no trouble opening and editing raw files. WEll...computer crashed, I bought a new computer, installed CS2 and low and behold, I no longer seem to have Camera Raw. Where did it go? No amount of downloading plugins will help, since I don't have it in the first place. I get an error message "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" both when I try to open a RAW file AND when I try to install a camera raw plugin.
I am so frustrated. I have piles of shoots to edit and I'm falling behind. PLEASE HELP.

The Canon 5D needs ACR 3.3. A fresh installation of PS will have a lower version. You can confirm this by looking in PS Help > About Plug-in...
You must download the latest 3.x version and install it exactly following the instructions.

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

  • Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
    When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
    "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.
    If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
    I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

    I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD  in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on.  I use FastPictureViered Codec Package,  When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for.  Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

  • When I open several Raw files and edit one, the others disappear

    Sometimes I open numerous raw files simultaneously and they appear on the left in a sidebar. Then I choose one to edit and when finished the others have disappeared and I have to load them again. Is there a keystroke that will bring them back without entirely reloading? Are they still in PSE but hidden? This seems like peculiar and poor design. (Mac version)

    Using Preview is quite simple. I open the group of files I want to view and edit. I select one and drag it on top of the PSE icon in the dock, and it opens in the PSE raw editor. When I've saved the file I simply click on the Preview dock icon to return to that app. and repeat the select-and-drag to PSE. Preview provides a full screen display of file icons for the files I want to edit, so it is quite quick and transparent.
    I don't necessarily want to Open a file; I might simply Save it from the raw editor. If I have 10 raw files, five of which I want to edit and Open, 3 of which I don't want to edit, and 2 of which I want to Save within the raw editor, the simplicity you describe disappears. Using my Preview-to-PSE scheme, I work on one file at a time and dispose of it when done. I don't have to keep track of which file needs what disposition, as seems to be the case in the process you describe. Please correct me where I'm mistaken.

  • PS CS2 can't open D80 Raw files even with correct plug-in

    I am on a PC running Photoshop CS2. I cannot open RAW images from my Nikon D80. I have installed the Camera RAW plug-in (3.6) as instructed. The files still won't open. I'm very frustrated.

    No, you are not doing things correctly yet. The DNG converter is a separate, stand-alone program. It does not require Photoshop or any other program other than your operating system to run. You use it to convert your raw images to the Digital negative (DNG) format, and then you would open those DNG files with Photoshop CS and the correctly installed Camera Raw 2.4. The DNG files still contain all of the raw data, and you can achieve the same results from those files as you can the original raw files from your camera. If you are not willing or able to update your version of Photoshop, then this is the route you will have to go in order to work on your raw images.
    Added later: since the DNG converter is a separate program, it can be placed anywhere on your computer. I find it easy to simply leave it on the desktop so that I can drag the images from my camera (via card reader) onto the DNG converter. Then all you have to do is follow the prompts in the DNG converter to configure the conversion the way you want it.

  • My Mac OS X v 10.6.8 used to read mpg movie files.  Now it doesn't.  What changed and how do I correct it?

    My Mac used to read mpg as well as mp4 movie files.  Now it does not recognize the .mpg movies.  What changed & how do I correct it?

    Try using the VLC Media Player.  It's free and can play just about any kind of media file or stream you can throw at it.

  • HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't.  I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

    I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
    It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
    One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
    One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
    Good luck,

  • I accidentally set my Downloads to automatically open the files, and now it doesn't save them at all, except in my temporary files. How do I reset the Automatic Download setting?

    I remember back in Firefox 3.6 you could go into about:config and reset the automatic setting for downloads, but that particular option has either been renamed or isn't there anymore.

    Go to the Firefox/'''Tools''' menu, click on '''Options''' and go to the''' Applications''' panel where you can change the action for different content types, to "Save File" or "Always ask" instead of opening the file in a particular application or plugin. See [[Managing file types]].

  • Why can't i open my raw files in photoshop cc i use a canon 450D

  • I have Photoshop CS2 vsn 9.0 with the Camera Raw 3.7 update and the Digital Negative Converter.  I cannot open any RAW files. Does the fact that I've opened them in Lightroom 5.0 before make a difference?

    When I try to open the RAW file (CR2) from the Photoshop application or from the Bridge (even while holding down the shift key) I get a message saying it's not the right kind of file. When I try to convert using the converter, it won't recognize the files.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Which camera are the camera raw files from?
    Did you convert the files to dng using lightroom or the standalone dng converter?
    If using the standalone dng converter, which version?
    In the dng converter did you try setting the Compatibility for Camera Raw 2.4 and later
    (Preferences>Compatibility)
    You should also be able to send the files from lightroom to cs2 without converting to dng, either by using Photo>Edit In>Photoshop or setting cs2 as an external editor in the lightroom preferences

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

  • I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT  Now  I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

    I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT  Now  I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

    See this faq:
    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
    That will explain why each new camera model uses its own raw format. (.CR2 does not indicate a format, only a Canon family of formats).
    The first link tells you what version of camera raw is needed for your camera : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You need ACR 7.4
    The second link tells you which ACR versions are supported by Elements versions Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    PSE9 supports version 6.5
    Further down on that paper, you get links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter for Mac or Win.
    This standalone software can batch convert a whole folder of raw files to the DNG raw file format that your present PSE9 can read.
    Otherwise, you would have to upgrade to version 10 or later.

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • I have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.
