CS5 won't read raw

Hello all,
I'm trying to read a raw image, not a camera raw, but a byte image from a satellite that has no headers, etc. CS3 would read the image just fine by file/open and setting it to read all documents, format= photoshop raw. Doing the same with CS5 gives the error that it can't read that format. I finally found a workaround: the original file has an extension of .img. If I change that to .raw, then double-clicking the file opens the image. However, I have thousands of .img files and I don't want to do any renaming. Is there a proper fix?
Thanks!

Photoshop does not normally recognize IMG as a file format extension, so it would only be available if you selected "all documents" in the open dialog. You will then need to manually select "Photoshop RAW" as the file format. This is still the same as you did in CS3. But because of the Cocoa file open dialog behaviors, you have to click the file first, then set the file type.
If you have a third party file format that uses IMG as a file extension, then that would be assigned as the format when you click on the IMG file - and you still need to manually select "Photoshop RAW" for the file format.

Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

Lightroom 1.4 won't read RAW images from my camera

I upgraded from a Canon Rebel XT to a Canon 1000D (Rebel XS), and it won't read RAW files anymore. When I try to import a RAW file, it says "file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
I've read that I can download a plugin to solve this problem, but I'm not having much luck. I've downloaded Camera Raw 5.2, which says that it supports the Canon XS, but it's still not working. Perhaps I've installed it incorrectly? Please help. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but another workaround for this common issue of trying to use RAW images taken with a newer camera than is supported by the version of Adobe software you have may be to use Canon software included with the Canon XS to import the Canon RAW images to your PC's hard drive, and then import them using the Adobe software. If they're still not recognized by LR, you'd have to first convert them with Canon software to another format such as TIFF or JPG, which of course, besides being a nuisance additional second step, loses the advantage of having taken the photo in RAW to begin with, though you could do basic white balance and exposure corrections with Canon software on the RAW files before converting.
If you'll be using a lot of XS RAW photos in Lightroom, it's probably worth the hundred bucks to upgrade to LR2 which most users feel is much more powerful than LR 1.4 anyway and therefore worth the charge. The adjustment brushes, graduated filters, and improved sharpening make the upgrade worthwhile, and then LR could import your XS' RAW photos directly from the camera. However, *if* your PC is barely managing with LR 1.4, you may find LR 2.x too slow for your PC. You can try LR 2.x first for a time for free before paying for the upgrade. Check out the video tutorials on the upgrades because their use is not intuitive and you may falsely conclude they don't add much function if you don't learn how to use them.

Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them. I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files? Thanks!

I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions. But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images. Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now. You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files. Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

How do I get CS5 updated to read raw format photos

Why doesn't Photoshop read raw format photos from Nikon D600? I've tried downloading new versions of "Camera Raw". It downloads and installs successfully, but I still can't open the files in photoshop.

Bad news:
The Nikon D600 didn't get RAW support until Camera Raw version 7.3, which is in CS6 and above. (CS5 only had support up until Camera Raw 6.7.)
Good news:
You can still convert your NEFs using the DNG Converter and open those in CS5. Otherwise, if you want out-of-the-box RAW/NEF support, you'll have to upgrade to CS6 or CC.

Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

My PS CS5 does not read Raw Files

I have two Macs and on my MacBook Pro it has never read my raw files from my canon camera (.cr2) so I always edited those on the iMac.
Now after an update I can only edit raw images on my iMac (.nef) and I can't edit any raw images on my macbook pro at all.
What do I do?
I looked through some online tutorials and I checked for updates and it says the program is updated.
Any help would be so appreciated.

How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi and XTi without any problem.

What Noel said.
FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

Or run the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files to DNG then edit the DNGs in Photoshop

DNG conversion requires extra steps - but it's free.

I had to re-install my CS4 and now it won't read camera raw. What can I do?

My photo shop works ok except it won't read raw files from my CANON EOS 50D. It did before I had to reload it.

Did you run al lthe necessary updates? Manually download and install the Camera Raw installer? verify these things. and I recomemnd you ask such specialised questions in the program forums. It's more likely you'll get the right answers there.

Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

Hello,
I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

Good news and bad news:
The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

Adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.

adobe photoshop elements 11 won't read my canon T5 raw CR2 files.
why?
need help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

CS5 won't open RAF files from FinePix HS10 & Camera Raw 6.3- Is there something I'm missing??

Ok-
I've bought CS5 Extended and then updated it (including the Camera Raw 6.3 update).
I am using a MacBook Pro (and an iMac also).
When I try to open the RAF file I get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Yet the release notes for Camer Raw say that it will open FinePix HS10 files...
So I then decided to try a manual install of Camera Raw- I get the same message.
I have checked with other HS10 users and their PS does open them.
Is there something obvious that I am missing- or is there a problem with the camera raw or the photoshop cs5??
Hope someone can help!!

Actually, that's wrong. Camera Raw 6.3 WILL run as a 64-bit plug-in when hosted by Photoshop CS5 if CS5 is running as a 64-bit app. It'll run as a 32-bit plug-in when hosted by Bridge or Photoshop CS5 set to run as 32-bit.
So, there's something else going on here....
How are you trying to open the raw files? From within Bridge or the Finder? How did you update Camera Raw to version 6.3? From the updater? Is ACR 6.3 in the correct install location? main Library (not the User but root), Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS5/File Formats/Camera Raw.plugin
Can you open raw images from within Bridge? Have you tried to view raw files with Bridge before you updated Camera Raw? Have you trashed the cache foe the folder? In Bridge under Tools/Cache/Purge Cache

Reading RAW files from Nikon D600 in CS5.

I have installed the latest plug in updates for camera raw into cs5 but still cannot read raw files. Any advice? Many thanks in advance.

Support for the D600 was added in Camera Raw 7.3 which will only work in Photoshop CS6. You choise is to update to CS6 or doenload the free DNG Converter 7.3 (scroll down to the Downloads) and convert the D600 NEF files to DNG DNG files.
