Hi,
If you mean the Sony Sony ILCE-A7M2, that requires the latest camera raw 8.7.1 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
You can either upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 or download and install the free Adobe DNG converter. You copy your raw files to a folder and then give the DNG converter that folder name. The converter will then convert those files to the DNG format. the DNG files can then be used by Photoshop Elements 11.
DNG  Converter 8.7

  • Downloading images shot in RAW into Aperture 3

    Downloading images shot in RAW into Aperture 3, why does it look great on my monitor, then when the images finish loading, the image is dark, then requiring me to fix-it.

    why does it look great on my monitor, then when the images finish loading, the image is dark, then requiring me to fix-it.
    Have you applied any in-camera processing to your photos? Like "Preserve Highlights"?
    When you import raw images into Aperture, you will see the camera generated preview, that is embedded into your raw file, while Aperture is importing the raw file. Once the file has been imported, Aperture will create its own thumbnails and previews.
    The camera generated, embedded jpeg will reflect all in-camera processing of the raw, but the final image in Aperture will not show this. Aperture uses only the naked raw, as directly recorded by the sensor. If you want the camera processing, import jpegs and not raw.

  • Down loading photos shot in raw

    I have been organizing and saving my photos in JPEG, but I would like to try down loading, organizing, and saving my photos in RAW.  
    What  do I need to do?

    Hi,
    You download RAW files in the same way as your JPG files.
    However, each camera model has a different raw format and may not be supported by your Photoshop Elements.
    We need to know the following before advising you further.
    Which version of Photoshop Elements do you have?
    Which camera produces the raw files (Make & model)

  • Trouble downloading photos from card reader-OS9.1 G4 Cube

    Trying to download photos shot with Casio EXP600 onto Toshiba SD 512MB Card, inserted into Thunderbolt SD/MS card reader plugged into USB port on computer. Camera "Photo Loader" software downloaded OK onto computer. Get error message when try to download either .jpg or .tif files: AN ERROR OCCURRED IN THE PREVIEW FILE CREATION PROCESS. THE FILE WAS NOT CREATED. I can open a file on the card and see the photo on the screen OK, but not download it. If try to drag a photo from card to Photoshop Elements 2, get a .tif file with horizontal white lines every 1/4 inch or so; with .jpg files, get horizontal [possibly overlap] bands. [Also have trouble with .jpg files created with Microtek i700 scanner: get error message if try to open on desktop, though those open OK in Photoshop. Don't know if this is a related problem]. Thanks for any help. Jim Gerstley
    Question is: am I missing some critical software or need to update something in order for these photos to download to the computer? The picture files meet the DCF protocol and are supposed to be compatible with MAC OS 9, 10.1, and 10.2 though not 10.0. I do have quicktime player 4.1.2.

    Hi, James. Try this simple experiment.
    1. Create a new folder on your desktop, then connect your card reader. Double-click one of the photos on the camera card to confirm that it opens properly, as you've said they normally do. Drag-copy the same photo from your camera card into the folder on the desktop. Now double-click the copy. Does it behave exactly the same way as the original, or not?
    2. Now drag-copy a different photo — one that you've never opened on your computer — from the camera card into the folder on the desktop. Double-click the copy to open it. Does it behave exactly the same way as the photo that you had previously opened from the camera card, and then copied into folder on the desktop?
    It may be necessary, for the results of this experiment to be most informative, to reformat your card in your camera and shoot some new photos before conducting the experiment. Reformatting will erase the photos currently on the card. But since they seem to be corrupt anyway, you've already lost them. Copy them all to your computer first anyway, in case any of them are not yet corrupt.
    If the results differ between Step 1 and Step 2, then I suspect that what has queered things for you is the act of opening your photos while they still reside on the camera card, before copying them to the computer. The application they're opening in has made some obscure change in the files that isn't being saved properly on the card, and is corrupting them; consequently, they're corrupt when you then copy them onto the hard drive.
    It's a good rule of thumb not to do anything at all with photos while they reside on the camera card: always copy them onto your hard drive before opening, editing, emailing, deleting, or doing anything else to or with them. It's an equally good rule not to do anything to the card itself while it's connected to your computer: to format it, erase it, or delete individual photos from it, always use your camera's controls, while the card is in the camera and disconnected from the computer.
    By the way, a folder on your desktop is just another folder in a particular location on your hard drive — there's no functional difference between a folder in the hard drive window and a folder on the desktop, except that the latter is more conveniently accessible. The desktop itself is actually a folder on the hard drive, albeit an invisible one with a special display mode managed by the OS.

  • Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

    HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
    Many thanks Pitt.

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Which version of camera raw will work with elements 9 and a Nikon D5100? How do I download photos to it?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 and use a Nikon D5100.  I have downloaded camera raw 6.5 but cannot download photos to it.  Does camera raw start automatically or do I have to manual start it?

    That did I, thanks.

  • I want to move my Aperture library to Lightroom.  All of my photos are on a hard drive.  Do I just click import on Lightroom or is there more to it?  All of my photos were shot in RAW.

    Originally, I moved the photos in each album one by one. The task was tedious but the photos did transfer.  Eventually, I ran out of disk space.  Now I have an 8 GB dual Thunderbolt hard drive.  This time, after speaking with Adobe, I was told to just "move the photos to Lightroom by clicking import."  Is that all there is to it?  All of my photos were shot in RAW.

    No, no, no.  Can't believe they still don't understand the plugin after all this time.  Adobe support is abysmal.  And you pay a subscription fee!
    The plug-in is a great alternative, but it does have issues.  And the most important steps for migration need to be done in Aperture, which may explain their skills gap.
    See this post for a partial explanation.
    How did your migration to Adobe Lightroom go?
    The key to NOT running out of disk space is to relocate your images from "managed" status to "referenced".  You can specify a better folder structure for your resulting Lightroom library.  Be aware that you will need some overhead, as your Aperture library (metadata) takes space, as your Lightroom catalog will, too.  But migrating "managed" Aperture images results in a full copy.
    There's other considerations for Aperture previews.  Although much smaller, all previews "should" be copied.  I've actually found that the plugin fails to copy a majority of previews.
    Lightroom will copy managed raw files, but will just point to referenced raw files.  If you choose to copy previews, it will copy all previews.  Not much to the plugin, but it helps to know to pre-tag images in Aperture, and make sure you do some sort of file-level compare to make sure everything is copied over.  I've made several posts on these issues under "Photo Enthusiast" in this forum.

  • Stopping photos getting keyword RAW

    Hi, iphoto 08 is automatically putting the keyword RAW by all my photos as I shot in raw, is there a way to stop it doing it?

    Try the following:
    1 - type Command+K to bring up the Keyword window
    2 - click on the Edit Keywords button.
    3 - select the RAW keyword and hit the "-" button.
    I think that might do it for future imports.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    I am using Lightroom 5.7, 64 bit with Windows 7 Professional. For no apparent reason, I now get an error message when I export a photo, say a raw image to a JPG. However, the exported image seems to be OK. But now I notice that my LR directory of folders in Library view does not show images correctly: If there is a folder with sub-folder(s), the folder will indicate 0 images, but the sub-folders show the proper number of images. What happened and is there a fix? I tried uninstalling Lightroom and re-installing, but problem persists.

  • Can't download photos from digital camera after latest software update

    Hi,
    since the latest update on the 28.9.08 I have trouble downloading photos from my Canon Eos 400D. I can't use "Digitale Bilder" anymore, nor Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader or iPhoto. I have to use my partners MacBook that doesn't have the update yet. Could it have something to do with the RAW-Compatibility-Update? And does Apple know and do something about it?
    Or can I fix this myself?
    I'd appreciate help.

    Same here... I have a Powershot Elph340HS and a SD960IS, I've updated Canon ImageBrowser and CamaraWindow and it just says "no camera detected"... so I used a different usb to make sure it wasn't that, I've tried everything, Preview, iPhoto, even iMovie... all of which worked before for importing from my cameras...
    OS X Yosemite (10.10) I'm on a Macbook Pro
    please fix this Apple!!!!

  • IPhoto vs Canon's Digital Photo Professional for RAW

    Greetings,
    Quick question after not finding much while searching the forums:
    I’m currently using a MBP C2D, 2.33/2G ram, all updated software. Just got a Canon Rebel XTi, finally putting aside my Canon 35mm (for now anyway).
    Can someone offer feedback on iPhoto vs Canon's Digital Photo Professional for RAW editing for someone with limited experience with RAW editing?
    I understand there are also other options out there but I'm trying to compare what is basically free/already provided, perhaps upgrading once I become more experienced with Digital/RAW editing.
    Thanks in advance...
    MBP C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    wdunn:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Nearly all, if not all, professionals use RAW in their shooting. There are a lot of advantages to that if you know what you're doing and need the extreme control over the image that pros usually do. I hang out in the iView MediaPro forum. Over there it's nearly all RAW users and I've learned a little of what they can do with fine tuning a photo. It is considerable. But for amateurs like us, jpgs are more than enough.
    I've edited and saved a jpg file many times to see if I could detect the "degradation" and couldn't. If one was going to make a very, very large sized print then you might see something after a number of saves. Personally I use Photoshop for my editing and on "special" photos I create a psd file, duplicate the base layer and do my edits on the duplicate layer. That way I can easily compare to the original, and keep the resolution quality the same throughout. But, only on special projects.
    Do you Twango?

  • I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them

    I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them out in Photoshop but got a error saying that camera raw was out of date with my new camera.  Even after updating my Photoshop CS 5 extended with camera raw 6.7    I beleive the exact wording was "camera not supported by the current version of Camera Raw"
    Is there another version of Camera raw I can download that will allow this or is my camera just too new for the version of photoshop I have?
    Thanks

    Adobe’s camera support list suggests you need ACR 8.4 or newer:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Your camera is several years newer than the last ACR plug-in CS5 will host.
    If you’re not quite sure you want to spend the money for a new PS, then you can download and use the free DNG Converter 8.4 or newer to make DNGs from the ARW files and those DNGs will have enough new information embedded in them for an older ACR plug-in to work with.  Of course this is more cumbersome than opening the files natively in PS-CC with the newest ACR plug-in.
    The most obvious thing would be to subscribe to the CC Photography Plan and get the current versions of both LR and PS-CC for $10/month.   There is a minimum OS requirement of 10.7 or Win 7 currently and maybe 10.8/Win7 for LR6—not sure about the next PS version because Adobe hasn’t publically said as far as I know.
    One thing you haven’t seen using only PS-CS5/ACR6.x is that CS6/ACR7 or newer, there is a new toning model that seems superior for most images.

  • IPhoto downloaded photos into an event and now they don't show up. They were deleted off the camera under the assumption they were in my library now I don't have anything.  Does anyone have any useful advice?

    I downloaded photos from my camera to iPhoto 11.  They were accepted as a new event.  I deleted off the camera disk.  Now, after going back into the events folder, the photos are not there. Does anyone have some useful advice? I've lost about 200+ photos...

    You can recover the shots from the Card with an app like MediaRecover
    As for the Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
