D800 raw won't open in CS6, Camera Raw 7.1

My nikon d800 raw files are visable through Adobe Bridge, but only as a Raw Icon, it does not show the image. When I right click on it to open in Camera Raw, I get a message that says "Camera Raw 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...".
I am a bit confused because I am using the latest Photoshop CS6 (subscription), updated to Camera Raw 7.1

The files are likely corrupted, then, either by your camera or computer hardware, or by software you are running on your computer.   Posting a file online, or sending it to an e-mail address of an interested user after private-messaging them would help determine if your Adobe software is confused or if the files are corrupt.  Do you have any other way to view the files outside of Adobe software, a Nikon-licensed  viewer, perhaps, not the previews that many programs know how to look at, but the raw-data, itself.
Did you use Nikon Transfer to move the files to your computer?  If so, it is an obsolete program that Nikon has advised people not to use because it corrupts the metadata in Nikon raw files of the newest cameras so that Adobe doesn’t recognize them. 
A couple more suggestions for self-diagnosing what might be wrong:
1)      Copy the files from a card-reader to your hard-drive using your operating system utilities (Windows Explorer or Finder), and then try to open in Photoshop, directly, (using File / Open) to minimize the number of things that have touched the files between when the camera wrote them to the card and Adobe software tried to interpret them.
2)      Download a D800 raw file from a separate source and see if that file works.  This will help narrow down if it is something about your camera or memory card or cable or reader or transfer process or if it is a misconfiguration of Adobe Photoshop.  Here is a sample D800 RAW file from DPReview:  http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/nikon_d800/DSC_0241.NEF.zip  from this page:  http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d800-d800e/33
I can verify that the DSC_0241.NEF file downloaded from DPReview opens in PS-CS6/ACR7.1 and the thumbnail is visible in Bridge.

  • Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

    Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop.  Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop.  Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor.  This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

    Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

  • D600 .NEF files won't open in CS5 Camera Raw?

    .NEF files taken on my new Nikon D600 won't open in CS5 Bridge Camera Raw.
    Error Message:   The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in did not recognise the format of one or more files."
    .NEF files taken with the Nikon D90 are opening perfectly.
    There must be plug-ins available - I just can't seem to find them. Can someone send a link please?
    I am working on a Mac
    URGENT help please - I have a whole wedding to edit!

    D600 raw files only open in CS6/ACR7.3.  You need to upgrade your Photoshop.   http://www.adobe.com/photoshop/
    An alternative is to use the free DNG Converter to convert your NEFs to DNGs and those will open in older ACR versions.  Another alternative is to get Lightroom 4.3.

  • I have CS3 Photoshop and it won't open my Nikon camera raw files.

    I checked the RAW version in Photoshop and it is 4.0, why won't my files open?

    And what camera? Support for specific cameras is tied to specific versions of ACR. An old version of ACR will never open Raw files from a contemporary camera. Refer to this:

  • CS6 Camera Raw 7.4 "will not open" compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7)

    CS6 camera raw 7.4 "will not open" the compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7). D300 NEF files open OK.
    I seem to remember seeing an article that stated i would have to uninstall and re-install CS6 Photoshop completely and re-install again. However I cannot find this article now.
    If the above is true, having PS version CS4 with update CS5 & 6 installed, would i have to remove all PS versions.
    Photoshop error message just states download latetest software version, which i have done with ACR 7.4. I have also tried ACR 8 which did open file either.
    Also when ACR8 is hosted by Photoshop CS6, it does not offer any of  the new features described in Photoshop CC marketing materials for ACR8 (Re: DPReview mag) so i returned to 7.4
    Adobe DNG runs OK but i would rather deal with the original file in ACR rather than adding an additional step with more files to keep track of.
    Is there a way of uninstalling all versions of ACR, cleaning system and re-installing ACR, assuming the fault lies with ACR?
    Anyone have any answers?
    Malc

    Half an hour after posting this query (in the wrong forum) I resolved the issue. The fault lies with Nikon Transfer.
    Nikon Transfer corrupts the D800 NEF files. Apparently Nikon Transfer is well known for causing errors.
    Drag & dropping the files direct from the memory card onto your hard drive and everything works fine.

  • Camera Raw won't open or open any Raw files...CS6

    Using a macbook pro and just installed CS6, trying to open Raw files, but they won't open and camera raw won't open either.
    If I try open with photoshop it comes up with the message "Could not complete your request because of a disc error." Iv been on Disc Utility and everything seems fine with disc.
    Everything is up to date, cameras I use are Nikon D700 and D3100 and these are supported so it isn't that it needs updating to support these camera models..totally confused as to what to do..any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Camera Raw won't open in Photoshop CS6

    Wanting to begin using the Camera Raw plug-in for PS CS6, I find that it isn't active. (1) In Bridge CS6, the ACR icon in the top menu is grayed out; (2) after clicking a JPEG image file in Bridge, then right-clicking it, there's no option to open it in Camera Raw; (3) using Bridge's File menu, there's no Camera Raw option visible; and (4) in PS CS6, going from File > Open, then choosing "Camera Raw" in the Enable options drop-down list, each JPEG file is grayed out.
    My attempts to activate Camera Raw involve (1) downloading DNG Converter 8.7.1 and (2) attempting to download ACR 8.3…Adobe Update. That second effort failed, getting this error code: "Camera Raw 8.3(CS6) U44M2P7". I currently have AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL and AdobeCameraRawProfile7.0ALL installed on a Mac running OS10.7.6.
    I don't know what else to do. Please tell me how to activate Camera Raw using Photoshop CS6.
    Thank you very much.

    Benjamin, I thank you very much for your prompt and helpful e-reply!
    I've downloaded and installed the ACR plug-in for v. 8.7.1.311 Now, files open in Camera Raw, as expected, when using Bridge CS6. That's great.
    I have two questions, Ben:
    1 -- -- Although the first three options that I mentioned above (working from Bridge) are successful, I'm unable to open JPEGs in Camera Raw directly from Photoshop [as in option (4) above]. I'd like to be able to open JPEG files from PS; is there a preference I need to set to get PS to recognize and enable ACR?
    2 -- -- Should I now delete all files related to AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL? Or are those files required to run with the new plug-in?
    Thank you, my friend.

  • Can't open files in Camera Raw while in Bridge CS6

    05/30/2014
    Believe this issue/problem happened after automatic update from Adobe (but can't be sure).
    Have always uploaded files from camera into Bridge then do some editing by opening JPEG and RAW (NEF) files in Camera Raw from Bridge. 
    Now, "Open in Camera Raw" is greyed out and I am unable to find a way to open files with Camera Raw from inside Bridge CS6.  This seemed to happen suddenly and without any new software or applications being added to computer.  All other apps/software working well.
    Have tried various fixes found on Adobe community discussions without success.  Problem now ongoing for over a week +.
    Am able to open files in Photoshop with no problem but want to be able to do some quick edits using Camera Raw opening files from Bridge CS6. 
    I'm using Bridge CS6 Version 5.0.2.4.  (as part of Adobe Creative Suite 6).  Updater states I have most current version of Bridge installed. 
    I'm using an iMac computer with Intel Core i7 processor
    OS X 10.8.5
    Have found others with this same or very similar problems on forums but either can't understand patches/directions or unable to complete instructions on my computer.
    for example see:  Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
    From that link/discussion, one finds this "solution": 
    After you update to Camera Raw 8.4, Bridge CS6 in Mac OS doesn't display image metadata or allow you to edit images in Camera Raw.
    To the top 
    Manually install the Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in.
    Exit Adobe Bridge.
    Download the file below.
    Locate and double-click the downloaded file to decompress it. The resulting file is Camera Raw.plugin.
    Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder.
    Open the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS6/File Formats folder.
    IMPORTANT: Navigate to the root Library folder on your hard disk, not the Library folder under your user folder.
    Copy the Camera Raw.plugin from step 3 into the File Formats folder.
    IMPORTANT: This new file overwrites the file already in this folder. It's important that only one Camera Raw.plugin file is in this folder.
    Open Adobe Bridge.
    Camera Raw.plugin.zip
    Mac OS Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in for manual installation 
    However, when I try the above, I have these issues:
    1.  When I double click on the downloaded file, my computer opens PhotoShop and an error message is displayed that states "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."  (I suspect this may mean my computer has automatically decompressed the file, but I am not certain of that).
    2.  Not completely certain I know how to "Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder" as suggested in step 4. above (OK, I'm new to Mac; long-time PC user….)
    3.  When I am in "Finder" and click on "GO" while holding down "Option" key, I find "Library".  within that, I can find "Library/Application Support/Adobe" but there is no "Plug-Ins" folder within the "Adobe" subfolder. 
    4.  Not sure how to tell if I am in the "root Library" on my hard disk vs. "Library under my user folder".  (Again, new to Mac….)
    I have NOT yet tried doing an "Uninstall" and then Re-installing the whole Adobe Creative Suite 6 and would like to avoid that if possible. 
    Would absolutely LOVE it if Adobe would simply push an update that would fix this problem or if someone would explain to me how I could restore the earlier version that worked perfectly for me. 
    Any help, suggestions (in very basic, simple terms that any idiot new to the world of Macintosh can understand) would be appreciated.  Very frustrated with Adobe at the moment. 
    Mostly have liked the switch to Mac, but with this and my photo workflow coming to a screeching halt, having second thoughts.  (But I suppose Adobe update for PC may cause problems as well.)
    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

    Literally minutes after I posted the above, I figured this out myself and now I'm a happy camper and things are back to normal!
    Here was my error/issue:  as a new Mac user, I was not negotiating/finding files on my hard drive correctly. 
    In case there are others out there with this same issue (and as dense as I apparently am ):
    Here is what I did that resulted in a fix:
    First Steps:
    1. Quit/close Bridge
    2. As noted in post above, go to this link to download Camera Raw Plugin file:
      Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
    Link to get to download is near end of instructions, but I will attempt to insert that link to download here:
    Camera Raw.plugin.zip
    3.  Once file has been downloaded, find it by using "Finder" Click on "Finder" and look on list of options on left side of Finder window to find "Downloads".  On my computer, when clicking on "Finder" these options appear in the list at the left:
    All My Files
    Airdrop
    Applications
    Desktop
    Documents
    Downloads
    Movies
    Music
    Pictures
    4.  Download you just did should be at or near the top of your downloads list and should be named as "Camera Raw.plugin"  and will be 83.5 MB in size
    5.  I right-clicked (two fingers on touchpad) to bring up drop down options and selected "Copy 'Camera Raw.plugin'" from that list to copy file.
    Now, you have copied the plug in that will fix this issue.  The second set of steps below will walk you through how to replace the file that is on your hard drive with this plug in file that you have copied.
    Second set of steps (and this is where, as a new Mac user, I was confused initially)
    1. Again, click on "Finder" on your Mac
    2.  On top of screen, find "GO" and click on that.  (You should see "Finder" in the upper right corner of your screen, then "File, Edit, View, GO, Window, Help"  Click on the GO
    3.  In drop down menu that appears, click on "Computer" 
    4.  Then, double click on "Macintosh HD" to open your hard drive
    5.  Next, double click on "Library" folder to open that.
    6.  Next, click on "Application Support" folder to open that.
    7.  Then, double click on "Adobe" folder to open that.
    8.  Then, double click  on "Plug Ins" folder to open that
    9.  Now, double click on "CS6" to open that folder.
    10.  Finally, double click on the "File Formats" folder that appears.
    11.  NOW, you should see this: 
    12.  Right click (two finger press if using a touch pad) to open window with options.  Select "Paste Item" by clicking on that option. 
    13.  You will be prompted with an option to keep existing file OR replace the file.  Choose "Replace" to past the new "Camera Raw.plugin" file to this folder. 
    Finally, if you now go back and open Bridge CS6, you should be good to go. 
    Hope that helps someone out there. 
    Hopefully future updates will from Adobe will be better.

    Any insight/wisdom would be much appreciated. Thanks

    When you try to open in PS what happens?
    In Bridge do you see icons or thumbnails?
    Will it open in ACR in Bridge?

  • When I try to open CS6 camera raw I get an error abou the parent application not bein active.

    Actually there are two problems. 1) When I try to open a picture in CS6 camera raw I get this error "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. My second problem is that I'm unable to open Ps without getting a window to get the creative cloud. If I close the window it closed Ps.
    How do I fix these two problems?

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferenes | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Camera Raw won't open certain JPG files from Bridge, others open in ACR with no problem.

    Edit: This was orignally posted in the Photoshop > Macintosh forum, which I failed to realize was read only. Thanks to a PM headsup, I'm reposting it here. Thanks
    I've searched the internet and the Adobe forums and cannot find a direct answer to what I'm dealing with.
    The issue I am having is that Bridge CS5 (current version 4.0.5.11) will open some JPG images in Raw with no problem and others nothing happens at all. All the images come from the same source (Fujifilm Frontier SP2000) so I really don't understand why Bridge ignores some of them as being openable in RAW. For example, say this roll of film has 36 images. If I "Select All", right click, and select "Open in Camera Raw", it will open whichever it deems acceptable in RAW and nothing happens at all to the others (The RAW dialog will, for instance, only open 10 images instead of all 36, and the remaining images are not altered in any way).
    I've made sure that Photoshop is prefering Adobe Camera Raw with Supported Raw Files and in Camera Raw Preferences I have the box ticked to Automatically open JPGs with Settings but nothing helps.
    My work around is to one file at a time in the Photoshop Open dialog, selecting an affected JPG file and have it open them as Camera Raw instead of Jpeg.
    Any ideas? It's done this for quite a while and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Thanks.

  • Loss of thumbnails of RAW images in Photoshop prior to opening them in Camera Raw

    I recently purchased and started using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II.  I found that with my Photoshop CS6 I was unable to open my RAW files in Camera Raw, so I downloaded an update of Camera Raw, viz. version 8.7.1 from the Adobe website.  Now I can open the RAW images from my new camera in Camera Raw.  However, I have lost the capacity to display a thumbnail image of a RAW file when using the open function of the file drop down menu in Photoshop. Now when I single-click on an ID number of a RAW image from the list of images, I see only a blank thumbnail.  I save lots of time using image thumbnails for selecting images for editing in Camera Raw.  Is there some way to restore the ability to see RAW image thumbnails in Photoshop prior to opening images in Camera Raw?

    Which operating system are you using?
    Are the blank thumbnails only for the files from the canon EOS 7D Mark II camera?
    An alternative is to use Bridge CS6 or Mini Bridge to see the photos before you open them in photoshop cs6.

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings
