CS4 Camera Raw: Can't open multiple files ???

This is a very strange problem. I recently installed CS4 and started using it with RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark II camera. When selecting File -> Open As ->Camera Raw, I can't seem to select more than one raw file from the file dialog. I can open a single raw file no problem, but no matter what I try, either ctrl-A, holding down shift or ctrl does not allow me to open more than one file. With CS3 this worked fine.
Is there a setting in Preferences to control this (seems very odd even if there is)
PS: I see that there are two Camera Raw selections available in the file types list: what's the difference between them?
Thanks

If they're raw files then just use File->Open, you only need to go the File->Open As route if you want to open JPEG files in Camera Raw without going through Bridge.
There's no point in listing Camera Raw file formats because every camera produces it's own version anyway, a .CR2 file produced by one camera isn't the same as one produced by another camera which is why the Camera Raw plug-in has to be constantly updated.

  • How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

    I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
    The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to  Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

    Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
    If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

  • CS4 Camera Raw Does Not Open With Lightroom 3

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following equipment:
    iMac OSX 10.7 Lion
    Photoshop CS4
    Lightroom 3.6
    Camera Raw 5.7
    All SW has the latest Patch.
    When I open a Canon CR2 out of PS, the Camera Raw plugin shows up and I can make my settings.
    When I try to right-click from LR, the window does not open. The file is opened but no CR-plugin.
    It used to work on my iMac with SnowLeopard.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you for your time.
    Ole

    ACR should never visibly open going from LR to PS.  This is by design.
    Because your LR and CS/ACR are mismatched versions, LR will have to render to a TIF on the way into PS, so there’s no ACR involved.  If you were using matched versions of LR and PS, either LR2/CS4 or LR3/CS5 (or now LR4/CS6) then ACR is called on the way into PS but without your seeing the user-interface.   The adjustments available in LR3 are “newer” than the adjustments available in CS4/ACR5 so it doesn’t even make sense you’d want to see the sliders in ACR on the way into PS, because they’d be undoing or changing something LR had done unless you mean you want to adjust the intermediate TIF file using the older ACR sliders for some reason.

  • How do you use Camera Raw Editor to open jpeg files by default, not using "Open As"?

    I've searched for the Camera Raw setting that is available from the Photoshop (not PSE8) menu but it is not even available in Photoshop Elements 8 that I've been able to see.  Does anyone know where this setting is?

    I had PSE8 set to open any file (tiff, jpeg and cr2) with the camera raw editor.  I can not figure out how it got changed or remember where to make this a default option in PSE8.  I found a video showing it available in Photoshop, main menu, camera raw and then you just check the boxes.  I've been looking for the similar setting in PSE8 again because I'm working through some exercises in a book and it is a nuisance to navigate to the image using the "open as" command every time.  I figured it would be just as easy to set the option by default, then, if I didn't want to use the raw editor, I could just click open from there.  Help?  Thanks so much!

  • Camera Raw 2 and opening these files in Preview.

    Is it possible to update Preview so that I can open CR2 format images?
    Also I have installed Canons Digital Photo Professional which does open CR2 files but they remain 'blocky' and unusable?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I think I will stay with Tiger on my PB G4 1.25Ghz, I hope to upgrade my computer in the near future and anyway Leopard might be just that one step too far in upgrades for my machine.
    As to the problems with opening Camera Raw files with Canon's DPP this was solved by the use of a PC, horror of horrors I know. But as soon as I showed the file to DPP running on a PC I got a windows message saying that the file was probably corrupted. So shooting a couple of new shots on my camera and offering those up and they opened quite happily on the PC. Then I tried the same files on my Mac and they also opened with no problems. Why the Mac did not show the same error I don't know. Anyway I can happily process Camera Raw on my Mac using DPP courtesy of Canon under Tiger. My Photoshop Elements 4 with the latest RAW plug-in sadly refuses to recognise CR2 files, I expect you have to buy the latest version of PSE to get that functionality.
    So back to taking photo's.

  • Photoshop can't open multiple files...

    I have Photoshop CS3 and I've had it for some time...pretty much since its release in 2007. In all that time, it's worked perfectly.
    A couple days ago, it started doing this thing where I could open a file and everything would be fine, but then I'd try to open another file and it'd automatically stop working. I.E. I would get the "Photoshop has stopped working" message. This happens with any file and any file format. I can never have more than one file open.
    This is a HUGE problem for me--I'm a graphic designer and it's almost impossible to work with Photoshop this way for the rest of my career. I lost my CS3 installation discs when I moved and I don't want to have to buy a new license...but I can't work this way.
    Any ideas?
    I'm on Windows Vista on an HP Pavilion Notebook. Thanks!

    Also, once everything is working, think about making a backup image of your hard drive
    The product I use is... will span multiple
    CD/DVD discs or write image to a USB hard drive
    Runs off a 3.5 inch boot disk

    Creates a bootable CD, use if you have a USB mouse or keyboard

  • Camera raw does not open CR2 file

    When I try to open a cr2 file from bridge or explorer, where there is usually the image I get a blue surface. I can open this file directly in PS but not in Caera Raw. I work with CC and everything is updated. A few days ago I installed Lightroom CC and since then this problem occured.

    I have the same problem. But only when I start PS outside of company, where I work. When I open RAW file, connected to company network, everything works.
    My application tab looks like one above, everything is up to date.
    But I don't understand, one thing. When I am at work, connected to the company network and I switch off internet connection, PS works fine. Then should PS works fine every time, everywhere, not depending on the network I am connected to.

  • Adobe X: Can't open multiple files by double-clicking

    I have Adobe Reader version 10.1.0.534 running on Windows XP SP3. Once I have a .pdf file open, I cannot open additional .pdf files by double-clicking on their icon from within a folder or on my Desktop. I can only open them by going through the File>Open dialog in Reader or by dragging the icon onto the open Reader window. I can open the first .pdf file by double-clicking, just not any after that. This behavior is new in Adobe X.
    Does anyone else see this?
    Is this by design? If so, why? It seems to be an unneccessary annoyance and a deprecation.
    Thanks

    Hi Valerie,
    What happens if you try to open the same files after launching Acrobat, by choosing File > Open?
    Has anything changed since on your system since you were able to open Acrobat/PDF files by double-clicking?
    For starters, please try repairing the Acrobat installation by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • I can't open multiple files on preview, help?

    Every time I open a folder of new files (all .jpg but downloaded with Chrome) it keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to open the file, and it only opens one of the selected files, I can't find anything on how to fix this with the preferences (neither preview's nor system's) and it's bothering me a lot because it never did this with Leopard.
    Is there a way to fix this somehow?

    I have CS5 Web Premium on MacOSX and I have the same problem with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator...  when I select a few files and drag them onto the app icon in my dock it only opens 1 of the files...  I have checked the tabs there are no other tabs/files opening.  And I don't know how to fix it...  it really bothers me!!!  :-/
    Please tell me you have another solution up your sleeve?

  • Can you open multiple files using an advanced action?

    I have either Captivate 5.5 or Captivate 7 to work with. Currently my project is in 5.5.
    I have a button that I want to open three PDF files. I created an advanced action, selecting Open a new file/URL and selected the file name. Currently they are set to open in a new window.
    When I test the button, only one file opens.
    If I set one to open in a new window and another to open in the top window, I lose the course but get two to open.
    Is there a way for me to open each of these files in a new window using the same button?

    You could do it by executing javascript:
    in Captivate: open_win()
    add this to the head section of your html page that loads the captivate object:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function open_win()
         var url1 =" http://www.google.com";
         var url2 =" http://www.yahoo.com";
         var url3 =" http://www.bing.com";
         window.open(url1);
         window.open(url2);
         window.open(url3);
    </script>

  • I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

    I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

    Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR).  And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS.  See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

    I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
    What's the problem?
    Any solutions?
    Thx!

    The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1.  That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed.  Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version.  If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.
