Current Camera Raw in Legacy PShop?

My employer (a photographer) is still using PShop CS3. He is having problems reading raw files. I suspect he updated the raw reader & it is possibly NOT compatible with CS3? I have suggested he upgrade to CS5, but he has to buy it for multiple workstations -so it might take awhile. Will the current Raw Reader Plugin work w/CS3? If not, what version of Raw Reader is compatible w/CS3? (Yes, I hate legacy questions too -thanks for your help)

Adobe provides updated Camera Raw versions only for the currently shipping products–in this case, Camera Raw 6.x in Photoshop CS5. The last version to work with CS3 was version 4.6. Cameras released AFTER 4.6 was released will not be supported in Photoshop CS3. You'll need to use the free DNG Converter to convert newer camera's raw files to DNG in order to open them in Camera Raw 4.6. The current version of DNG Converter can be downloaded from the DNG Product Page.

  • My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

    You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

  • Can't update to the current Camera Raw

    Hi there,
    i'm using Photoshop CS5 and i just tried to update Camera Raw to the current version, but it only updates to Camera Raw 6.7
    Now i cant open my files, because my Camera is not supported.
    Can anybody help?

    The most economical way to solve the problem is to use the DNG converter (free from Adobe) and create digital negative copies of your raw files. Or, you could incorporate Lightroom into your workflow. Or, you could upgrade to Photoshop CC. I think you can still purchase Photoshop CS6 as well. You're going to have to do something if you want to continue using Adobe products. Another choice would be to use the software provided with your camera.

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • Problems with Camera Raw 6.7 after upgrading to OS 10.8

    I've been using Photoshop CS 5 with Camera Raw 6.7 on my MacBook Pro with no issues until I recently upgraded to OS 10.8. Now my Canon CR2 files (shot with a Canon G15) won't open.  Does anyone know of a solution or work-around for this problem?

  • I would like to seek help to upgrade Camera Raw for my CS 5.1

    My current Camera Raw version is 6.7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.1 (12.1x20110328 [20110328.r.145 2011/03/28:10:30:00 cutoff; r branch]) x64 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version:
    I recently bought a Nikon D7100 and taking pictures in the Raw format but they wont open in Photoshop CS 5.1. Also downloaded and installed the latest Raw upgrade but I think it is not compatible with CS 5.1
    How can I make raw photos taken from D7100 open in CD 5.1

    I actually tried the steps below due to the error -5000 I had encountered during the previous tries updating my IOS to 5.1.1
    "Perform a normal sync and check your iTunes to make sure everything was synced in the right places like the tabs at the top of your "summary" when you plug in your iPhone to iTunes.  If everything is there and all the right boxes are checked for the stuff you want to save, then put your phone into recovery mode by keeping it plugged into your computer with iTunes still up and running. Next you want hold down the power button AND the home key button (the big button on the bottom part of your screen) AT THE SAME TIME. Your phone will go thru 4 different screens before you
    Can let them go.  U will see your normal power off slider screen, then a black screen, then a black screen with an apple logo, then finally a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a sync cable below it. Once you see this screen LET BOTH BUTTONS GO but not before you see this screen.  Your computer will tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, say ok.  Then hit the restore button on your iTunes summary screen, it should then ask you if you want to restore from a backup and update, say yes.... And at the end of its restoring and uploading you should have iOS 5!!"
    Then it proceeded to a reactivation process... =(

  • LR4 and Camera Raw 6.7

    Hello,
    This is my first post, so please bear with me if I do something wrong.
    I got LR4 (update from 3) right after it was relesed.  I also have Photoshop CS5, so I ran into the PS/LR4 interoperability issue like everybody else.  I just checked the status of this issue and I read the followinng in the Lightroom Journal (posted by thogarty on March 12, 2012 under the title "Lightroom 4 Hot Issues":
    The team would like to provide an update on several issues discovered since last Monday night’s launch. Thanks for your patience while we investigated and compiled this list.
    Edit in Photoshop Workflow
    Currently, the Edit in Photoshop workflow asks that you have the Camera Raw 7 plug-in installed.  Please note that the Camera Raw 7 plug-in is not available at this time.  The correct plug-in for Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 compatibility is Camera Raw 6.7, currently available on Adobe Labs Please keep in mind that currently Camera Raw 6.7 is a a Release Candidate version of the plug-in. A “release candidate” label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers.
    This is a little confusing.  When I start up LR4 and go to Help>About I get the About window in whose upper right corner I see "Lightroom 4.0, Camera Raw 7.0".  What is going to happen when the Camera Raw 6.7 gets released and I install it.  Is it going to upgrade my PS plug-in only or, perhaps, downgrade my LR4 plug-in at the same time?
    REgards,
    Andy

    I don't have Lightroom 4. And from what I had seen so far in the forum, I don't plan on getting it. But from what I have seen I don't think things are any different than they have been with previous versions. Lightroom 4 has been designed to work with Camera Raw 7, which will be part of Photoshop CS6. I don't have the CS6 Beta, and don't plan on getting it. But apparently ACR 7 is not yet ready for release. When you don't have the current release of Camera Raw my experience has been that Lightroom has always given that warning and provided you with the opportunity to edit a copy which includes the Lightroom adjustments. The reason this has to be done is that when you send a raw image from Lightroom to Photoshop Camera Raw Has to interpret the adjustments. And if you don't have the current version the best thing to choose is to send a copy that includes the Lightroom adjustments.
    But there seems to be a problem at this point because Lightroom 4 has been released ahead of Photoshop CS6 and so things are out of sync at the present time.
    When I was still using Lightroom 2 and even Lightroom 3 I was using Photoshop CS3. So my option was always to send a copy of the raw image to Photoshop. In those two versions of Lightroom the adjustments carried through and I felt the results were acceptable. Apparently, that isn't the case right now with the new version.
    Sending a copy to Photoshop doesn't really cause problems, in my opinion. Even if you don't have to do that, once you have completed your adjustments in Photoshop that image has to be saved as a new image. The adjustments cannot be applied from Photoshop to the original raw image. That has never been the case.
    In light of all the problems a lot of people seem to be having, I am steering clear of Lightroom 4, at least for the time being. I still get good results with Lightroom 3.6 and have full support for all my cameras. But it seems to me that it's going to take some coordinated effort from Adobe to get this Lightroom/ACR discrepancy resolved. Good luck to all of you. I'm just having a lot of fun with my Lightroom 3/Photoshop CS5 combination.

  • Camera Raw changes not saving

    Changes done in Camera Raw are not saving to be usable in PS or other programs.
    I am using CS6 with windows 7.
    I accidentally took a heap of photos in jpeg. I edited them in Camera Raw - then save the changes in jpeg format but still no changes showing in PS. I have tried Save As, Done, Open image but the changes are not appearing in my PS

    Penny,
    The button at bottom, "Open Image", doesn't mean "open an image in Camera Raw". It means "open the currently displayed image in a new document in Photoshop".
    "Open Image" will pass the adjusted image that you are viewing, not the file itself, to Photoshop where a new document will open and contain the image. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
    Hold down Shift key to see the button change to "Open Object" which will result in a new Photoshop document being opened containing a Smart Object which encloses an independant duplicate of the file and adjustments which you are currently viewing in Camera Raw. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
    Hold down Option/Alt key to see the button change to "Open Copy" which is like "Open Image" except the adjustments which you are currently making in Camera Raw will only affect the image that is sent to Photoshop and adjustments will not be saved.

  • I am using Lightroom 4.4,  I recently downloaded the latest Camera Raw update, 8.8.  Will it work with LR 4.4?

    I recently downloaded the most recent Camera Raw update, 8.8.  Will it work with LR 4.4?  My current Camera Raw plug-in does not recognize my new Canon 100-400mm lens.

    Quote "I have downloaded the most recent DNG converter. I guess I was mistaken in thinking I could use this as a plug-in with LR.  If I understand correctly, I need to convert image files taken with the new lens with the DNG converter and then load them in LR 4 in order to use the Lens Correction feature in LR.  Does that sound correct?"
    No, as far as I am aware the only function that the DNG Converter performs is to convert the raw files from a supported digital camera model to a DNG file format.
    This will allow you to work with the DNG files in earlier versions of Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw that do not provide support for the particular camera model raw files. It has nothing to do with Lens profiles. 

  • Cannot update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1

    When I try to update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1, from the 7.1 setup file I downloaded, I get the error:
    "Update failed
    Updates could not be applied
    This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available."
    If I go to help in Photoshop CS5 and click on updates, it says that all of my programs are up to date, but Camera Raw is still 6.7. It absolutely refuses to update to 7.1
    I just traded in my Nikon D3100 for a Nikon D3200 and 6.7 does not support it, but 7.1 does, so I REALLY need it to upgrade because I like to shoot in RAW.
    Please help????

    The Adobe policy is to provide free updates for currently shipping products. The current version of Photoshop is CS6, the current Camera Raw is 7.1.
    Providing backwards compatibility of older software with newer versions of Camera Raw is a major technical problem. Camera Raw is a plug-in with dependancies on the host version of Photoshop's SDK. Camera Raw 7.x is designed to use the CS6 SDK. Photoshop CS6 has different platform requirements than Photoshop CS5 had. So, trying to force fit Camera Raw 7.x to work in Photoshop CS5 would require a code branch of the Camera Raw code that would substantially complicate future development–meaning it would put a major dent in the development resources that Adobe could apply to future updates–a bad thing for current customers. Personally, as a CS6 user, I would not like that at all.
    Adobe provides backwards compatibility for new cameras in old versions of Photoshop for free. Yes, it's an additional step but one that only costs a bit of time on your part. The free DNG Converter is capable of producing DNGs that are compatible back to Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS...and again, this is free and something that Adobe didn't HAVE to do...
    You want new cameras to be supported in older software–fact is these new cameras produce new raw file formats that are proprietary and undocumented–it takes a lot of work o decode new formats. This problem is a direct result of the failure of the camera companies to adopt a raw file format standard that would eliminate the need for new camera format decoding...you are perfectly happy buying a new camera that creates a new, un-compatible raw format and blame only Adobe for failing to upgrade old software? Your expectations are unrealistic and you are trying to place blame on the wrong party, it's the camera company's who are at fault for not adhering to some sort of standard that would free users of the problems they face now. Blame the company that sold you the camera that is not compatible with your software...it ain't Adobe's fault.

  • Elements 7 and camera RAW

    I have Elements 7 and a Nikon D90.  I have downloaded photos taken in RAW onto my Mac using iphoto.  My Mac doesn't have Elements on it; that's on our other Windows laptop.  I now want to create a panorama using Elements on the laptop, so I've put the NEF images onto a memory stick.  I went to the Editor in Elements, used 'open' and browsed to the memory stick, selected the images and opened them.  The editor told me that it was "the wrong type of file".  I checked in help.  I've downloaded the current camera RAW update and restarted the laptop.  Same thing has happened.  Also link on the Adobe website for this problem is broken.  Any suggestions please?

    The 5.6 camera raw plugin is the newest camera raw plugin that works with pse 7
    and should open D90 files.

  • Camera Raw won't find update in CS6

    I currently have Photoshop CS6 running on 32 bit Windows Vista.  My current Camera Raw version is 7.0.0.308.  I need version 7.4 (which is compatible with my camera)
    Obviously, everybody in previous posts have said to use the update tool.  Well for some reason my update tool says I'm up to date. No updates available.  There are no links that I can find to manually download updated versions.  I can only find them for the DNG converter because everything says "use the application updater to get this version" for Camera Raw.
    Please help me get this version of Camera Raw!!! A million thanks!

    The newest ACR versions only work with Windows 7 and higher, so that could be why nothing is updating.
    Adobe has a help page with instructions for older-OS systems that tell how to manually install ACR 8.3, which is the newest version that works on Vista. 
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html
    This help page was made because the first ACR 8.4 installer wasn’t smart enough to look at the OS and went ahead an installed ACR 8.4 even if that version wouldn’t run on the OS, so that is the scenario the instructions apply to most directly, but they should also work to upgrade an older ACR 7.x to ACR 8.3.  You want to pay attention to whether you’re installing the 64-bit plug-in or the 32-bit plug-in because you only have 32-bit Windows.

  • Uninstalling Camera Raw 8.4 RC CC

       Can soemone please tell me the necessary steps to remove Camera Raw 8.4 RC for Photoshop CC completely so that I can restore Photoshop back to using Camera Raw 8.3. I use MacOSX 10.92 .
    Thanks
    Trevor Craig

    I think the official process to go back to the previous non-beta ACR would be to uninstall PS-CC and any other Adobe app that uses ACR, then reinstall those and reupdate them to the current ACR version using the Updates process from within the apps.
    You could try installing ACR 8.3 from one of the direct links on this page, but I don't know if it'll let you downgrade versions that way:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
    If you can find the Camera Raw.plugin file on your computer associated wtih PS-CC then there might also be a way to extract and rename the large resource file from the DMG at the above link and copy it over the top of your current Camera Raw plug-in file.  I have done this on a PC but don't know what the specific file names and paths are on a Mac to be more specific.

  • Photoshop cs5 camera raw (what?)  Not 5.7 or better thats for sure.

    I was a bit dissapointed today when I downloaded cs5 photoshop trial, and tried to open a canon t2i raw file.
    Aaarg..."Document could not be opened".  
    Is there an update to the shiny new CS5 Photoshop that would install the current camera raw?

    jwestveer wrote:
    ACR has changed between 5.7 and 6.0 and that camera is no longer supported.
    No, ACR hasn't "changed"...the fact is that because of QE, packaging and other Creative Suite requirements, Camera Raw 6 (the one that ships WITH CS5) is already out of date...ACR 6 was done months ago. ACR 5.7 was literally just released a week or so ago and has camera support ACR 6 doesn't have.
    John Nack has already indicated there will be an update to ACR to version 6.1 which include all the cameras that 5.7 support (like the 550) and any new cameras that they were able to support.
    The EXACT same situation occurred last time with CS4. Photoshop CS4 was released with ACR version 5.0 which didn't support all the cameras that ACR 4.6 supported even though they were released almost the same time. It wasn't long until ACR 5.1 came out.
    In the mean time, DNG Converter 5.7 WILL convert the 550 CR2s to DNGs that ACR 6 can read...
    And ALL of this camera support bullcrap would be moot if Nikon and Canon quite using proprietary raw file formats instead of a standard.

  • Camera Raw Support for G12 & S95

    The current Camera Raw 6.2 release does not support the Canon G12 or Canon S95. Adobe please add raw support for these two great new cameras.

    This is TRUE!!  I have recently purchased a G12 and was informed that nothing changed but the addition of the new HD Video - quote, "that is the only difference between the two cameras," end quote.
    Obviously the camera stores have been misled as I see that several of us have found out that the Camera Raw 6.2 version released is only good for the G11.
    I have already spoken with Technical Support, left messages as well as sent an e-mail to "What's Missing" pull down menu.
    Needless to say, if I hear back that an update is not forthcoming soon, I will have to return my camera!
    It still amazes me that companies do not talk to each other nor release all updates appropriately.
