CS4 / camera raw 5.0.0.178 / 5dmiii - is it possible to update camera raw on cs4 for use w 5dmiii?

Hello,
I have CS4 (I know, I know behind the times) and use Camera Raw 5.0. I've just gotten the 5dmiii and Camera Raw won't read the files.
I tried to download the raw update as per this page:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/raw-support-in-lightroom-and-camera-raw.ht ml
But I realize this is only for CS5 and it is of course not working for me.
Is there a way to update CS4 to make it work with the 5dmiii? I would like to avoid purchasing cs5 or cs6 right now and stick with cs4.
Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation on the PS forum - I've posted there.
I still believe that your tone and judgment, noting that my question is "utterly ridiculous," is unnecessary and regrettable on a public forum where I'm asking a technical question.
Nonetheless, still hope that your not-bad-day continues to be not-so-bad, or perhaps even gets a bit better.

  • Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

    I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

    Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
    Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
    In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
    Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

  • Trouble updating Camera Raw on CS4

    After a computer re-installation, I'm trying to get my Olympus E-620's raw files working again with Photoshop CS4.  After some research (and failed attempts), I found I can use Adobe Camera Raw versions up to 5.7.  I downloaded the update and it the CameraProfiles application appeared to successfully install, but my plug in version remains 5.0.0.178 and my raw files won't open (wrong file type errors).  Windows 7 64 bit.  I'd prefer not to use the digital negative converter but did get it successfully installed (haven't tried it yet).  Thank you!

    I found the files quickly enough and tried the replacement you suggested.  It took a little fussing but I eventually found the one I needed.  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats.  I ended up removing the old file from the folder since windows makes it difficult to actually change the extension of a file (I can rename it to Camera Raw.old but it remains an 8bi file extension). 
    I can now load my files.  Thank you!  I have shot a large project at high ISO (out of necessity due to lighting conditions) and I will need all the help I can get to get the noise reduced.

  • Running CS4, (OS X), need to update camera Raw plug in to atleast 6.7...?help?

    just updated my camera from Olympus E3 to the Olympus OMD EM5,  I have downloaded all updates available, and the download for the plugin 6.7 was succesful, but the installation gives me a failed message. Can I do the new raw plugin in CS4, or do i have to actually update my CS? Or am I missing something.... Thanks!

    There is really no upgrade path to photoshop cs6, since cs4 is too old, but there is an upgrade path to photoshop cc. however that is a subscription license instead of a perpetual license like you have for cs4.
    Creative Suite 6
    Download Photoshop CC by joining Creative Cloud today | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Camera raw 6.7 does work with photoshop cs5, but adobe doesn't sell photoshop cs5 any longer.
    Other options would be Adobe Lightroom 5.4 or Apple Aperture, both of which are camera raw processing software.

    Also, there is Olympus Viewer 3

  • Updated camera raw / DNG converter for CS4 compatible with D800 NEF?

    I have just bought a D800 but cannot convert my NEF files into DNG. I have Photoshop CS4 with latest camera raw updates available. I see in the forum that an update is available in the lab but only for CS5. Shall we expect an update for CS4 as well? Thanks

    No.  There will be no more ACR updates for Photoshop CS4.  That version is no longer supported.  You can download the DNG converter and convert your images to digital negative files that can then be opened in the ACR that you already have.  Since your camera is so new I'm not sure if it's even supported by the DNG converter.  You might have to wait for the next update.
    Your other alternative would be to upgrade your Photoshop.  Of course, that will cost a little money.  But not nearly as much as your new camera did.

  • I have re-installed PS CS4 and Bridge onto my new Macbook Pro, but I cannot open or edit RAW files?

    I just bought a new Macbook, and I tried transferring my Photoshop CS4 and Bridge to my new one via my external Hard Drive. It's worked in the past (I did it when transferring my desktop to my laptop), but this time, I am unable to open or edit RAW files. Bridge won't even allow me the option of "Camera Raw Settings" when going under "File".
    I've tried searching for answers to my questions through these forums, and the closest I have gotten is that I need to download the updated Camera Raw plug-in, and I can't find it. Also, I need to download the update to the DNG or something like that, which I did, and that still doesn't work. I've extracted and refiled my RAWs to DNG's, and they will still not open in either Bridge, nor Photoshop. So, now I'm feeling helpless and I'm getting very frustrated at this point.
    I shoot with a Canon 7d in RAW format. I've done this for years, and my computers have opened them with CS4 since I've had it.
    I appreciate any and all help, thank you!

    "Moving", copying, transferring or migrating Adobe applications is to be avoided at all costs. 
    Always install from the original media, from scratch, then apply all updates available all over again.  The Camera Raw plug-in, for example, is buried deep inside your root level Library.
    Your best course of action is to uninstall CS4, download and run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and re-install CS4 as per the previous paragraph.

  • Updating Camera Raw 5.4

    When I try to update Camera Raw 5.4 for CS4 I get stuck by the message "Please close Adobe Bridge." Adobe Bridge isn't open. What to do?

    Look in Task Manager > Processes – you'll probably find it there if you have it on auto.
    Kill the process.

  • ? CS5 Unable to Update Camera Raw or Bridge

    Adobe support case #0181633618
    I spent over three hours on the phone with Adobe's technician, and the problem is unresolved.
    We un-installed CS5 Photoshop and reinstalled it as a "new user."  Install stopped midway to say there was an ISP problem.  We chose the option “install anyway."  This message was the same on the initial CS5 installation.  I upgraded from CS4.  Never a problem with CS4.
    Turned off all antivirus and firewall software.
    Could not find other Photoshop applications running while watching the Task Mgr.Processes.
    We manually download the updates and also let Photoshop Updater download them. 
    Photoshop starts and runs fine, but will not update Camera Raw and/or Bridge.
    Error message: "another version of Updater is running.  Try again later." 
    Thanks,
    Bob

    There are comprehensive answers in the Camera Raw forum and Bridge forum.

  • Camera Raw not found and so it won't install the update

    I have PSE 6 and did have camera working - now I can't seem to figure out how to install updates. I don't see the app listed in the directory that is mentioned in the instructions.

    The following is from the Adobe Support page. I suggest you print it out so that you can refer to it.
    Quote:
    Install Camera Raw 5.4 for Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows
       1. Close Photoshop Elements 6.
       2. Download Camera Raw 5.4 from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4524
       3. Extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the ZIP file you downloaded. (Extract only the Camera Raw.8bi file that is at the top level of the ZIP file. Do not extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder that is inside the ZIP file. This folder contains the 64-bit edition of the Camera Raw plug-in, which is compatible only with the 64-bit edition of Photoshop CS4.)
          Note: ZIP files are compressed files which contain other files. On Windows Vista, you can extract Camera Raw.8bi by right-clicking on the file you downloaded, choosing Extract All, clicking Extract, and then opening the newly-created Camera_Raw_5_4 folder. On Windows XP, you can extract Camera Raw.8bi by right-clicking on the file that you downloaded, choosing Open With > Compressed (Zipped) Folders, and then dragging Camera Raw.8bi to your Desktop.
       4. Do one of the following:
              * If you use a 32-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into \Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.
              * If you use a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.
       5. To install Camera Profiles, extract the CameraProfiles.exe file from the ZIP file that you downloaded. Next, double-click on CameraProfiles.exe and then follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Updated Camera Raw File for CS2 / Canon Powershot G10

    I am still using Photoshop CS2, but unfortunately I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6) for use with the Canon Powershot G10, and it appears the unless I upgrade to CS4 I won't be able to view any RAW files shot with this camera.
    Is there an updated Camera Raw version for the Powershot G10 that is still supported under CS2?
    Thanks!

    …I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6)
    ACR 5.4 was released last night and it requires CS4.  That is the latest and current version of Camera Raw.
    5.6 probably won't appear until next year.
    If you download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.4, you can convert the raw files from your camera to raw DNG files you can then open in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

  • When you update Camera Raw do you need to update DNG converter too?

    I have Photoshop CS4 and wanted to update Camera Raw. I have forgoten if you need to update the DNG converter too or just leave it.  Im also looking for tutorials or " how to use" stuff for the new features  the lastest versions of Camera Raw (5.5 and 5.6). Thank you.

    If your camera is already supported by ACR, you don't really need the DNG converter. If you prefer to convert to DNGs or your camera is not supported, then you probably should download the latest version of the converter.

  • Updated Camera list for converting Raw files in PSE7

    I am looking to instal an updated CameraRaw.8bi file to accomodate recent cameras. 
    Camera updated needed for Canon powershot G15.
    Regards Daz.

    Photoshop Elements 7 supports Adobe Camera Raw from version 4.5 to 5.6 only.
    Please refer following document for you reference:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Canon Powershot G15 starts supported from Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3.
    Hereby,raw files from particular camera is not supported in Photoshop Elements 7.0.
    However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
    The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
    You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

  • Unable to import RAW files from my 400D, (XTi) Even if its a supported cam

    Hi,
    I have been unable to upload RAW files from my Canon XTi, a.k.a. 400D. I know this camera is supported and I am running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on an Intel Core Duo Mac Book.
    iPhoto had no issues with my previous Canon 350D raw files, yet its not working with the 400D. Is very likely a matter of installing an update, yet when i tried to install the ppl version it stated that this was not to be installed on this system. Would there be an update specific for Intel based machines to support the 400d?
    Has anyone experienced this same issue that would like to share in their resolution? This would definetively be appreciated.
    Happy Holidays and may you get the PS3 or something cool like that.

    Dendrite
    You need the Universal version of that update the ppc version won't work on your intel based machine:
