Elements 8 no longer opening raw files since upgrading camera to 600D

I am using elements 8 and windows XP. I have just upgraded my camera from a canon 450D to a 600D and now elements will not open my raw files, it states that they are the wrong type of files. I have been told that I require a patch to elements 8 so where do I find the patch and where in elements do I put it?

Unfortunately, the 600D requires ACR 6.4.1 patch which is not available for PSE 8.
Your options are
1) use the Canon software
2) Upgrade your PSE
3) Use the free DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files which can then be used in PSE 8.

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

  • Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750

    Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750 camera, wont update either from the help menu, any ideas what to do.

    carper
    According to Adobe document, you require installation of at least Camera Raw 8.7 for your Nikon 750 for your Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    And, I believe based on the following that Photoshop Elements 13 Premiere Elements 13 ships with Camera Raw 8.6.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Consequently, the solution appears to revolve around getting the Help Menu/Updates to work since there is no manual install of Camera Raw 8.7 for 13.
    Until the Premiere Elements update problem is resolved, you may have to resort to using the Nikon software. There is also the DNG 8.7 Converter
    which you can download from Adobe link, not requiring the Help Menu/Update as does Camera Raw 8.7.
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7
    There have been several reports of Help Menu/Update failures. I have not seen a generalized solution. I can only offer the
    the typical "Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?"

    is that the eos 5d?

  • PS Elements 5 Wont open RAW files

    PS Elements 5 fails to recognize the NEF files my Nikon D40 collects when shooting RAW.  The software help says PSE5 will only open RAW files from supported cameras.  Is the D40 supported?

    Adobe keeps updating camera raw plugins to accomodate new formats in their existing products. You just need to replace the Camera Raw.8bi file in your  ~/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/Plugins/File Formats folder with the one you dowmload from the link mentioned below.

  • I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop cs5, but they dont save properly after editing

    I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop, but then after I have edited, i save as .raw, and open up the newly saved file and it just comes up as a grey messed up picture.  What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, it is preferable to do as much editing on the raw files as you can including global and local tone & color correction in Camera Raw...but there is a limit to the work you can do and sometimes you must go ahead and render the raw file into Photoshop for additional work. Then you'll be needing layers and other functionality that can't be done on a raw file. At that point you'll need to save as a TIFF or PSD. If you work in 16 bit and a large enough color space, the TIFF or PSDs will still be capable of the highest quality...as others have indicated, the Photoshop .raw file format ain't for photography per se.

  • Can Photoshop Elements version 13 handle raw files from Canon camera 7D mark 2? Where can I read about it on Adobe web site?

    Can Photoshop Elements version 13 handle raw files from Canon camera 7D mark 2?
    Where can I read about it on Adobe web site?
    I found an Adobe web site note that raw plug-in version 8.7 will support Canon 7D mark 2, but is not included in Elements version 11.

  • Will PSE12 open raw files for Olypus camera MD5 mark II?

    Will PSE 12 open raw files for Olympus camera Md5 mark II?
    I can not find that information anywhere.

    The plug-in for Creative Cloud has only just been released. Updates for Lightroom and PSE will follow. You could use the 8.8 DNG converter whilst waiting. Convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Will Elements and Lightroom open RAW files fro the Sony DSCRX-100 camera?

    I have the RX100 and confess to be an Adobe fan.   You did not say which Lightroom or which elements you want to use.  You need the latest versions.
    Photoshop Elements 11 comes with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) version 7.0 in place when you install it.  Under the help menu, there is a choice to check for updates.  If you do, ACR 7.2 installs.  The RX100 is included in 7.2.  Previous versions of Photoshop Elements will not udate to 7.2.  When you open a RAW photo, a screen pops up that lets you adjust, convert and save to something Photoshop Elements can handle. 
    You have to have Lightroom 4.2 to get RX100 usefulness.  Lightroom uses, but hides, the ACR engine.  Instead the slider controls are built in the user interface.  When you buy it, it installs as 4.0.  The help menu also has an update choice so that you can get to 4.2 from 4.0.
    You didn't ask, but Premier Elements 11 is a good choice for video because it is he first version that "officially" supports the high quality 1080p60 or "PS" setting in the RX100. 
    On T day, I shot RAW photos of my granddaughters dancing to a Wii game in terrible light.  Yesterday I "adjusted" the batch of RAW shots taken with the RX100 in Lightroom and saved them as .jpg files.  Today, I wll make a video in Premier Elements from those .jpg images, put in some pan and zoom effects, add a sound track and put it on Vimeo. 
    My view is that an RX100 owner needs PSE 11, PrE 11 and Lightroom 4 to take advantage of the camera's capabilties.  Setting it on "fine" .jpg and uploading snapshots to Flicker leaves an awful lot on the table!

  • I can no longer open pdf files since updating my OS

    I can no longer open pdf's since updating to iOS 5.0.1 - how can this be corrected?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Newly re-loaded Elements 10 wil no longer open RAW files

    I bought Elements 10 in 5 months ago. It worked, but would frequently just quit. About the time I was going to return it, it started working fine. Yesterday, I got a message that something in Elements was corrupt, and I needed to uninstall and re-install. I did. Now, I get the message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements does not recognize this type of file" when trying to open RAW photos. I have downloaded Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 10, hoping that would help. It did not. I then installed Camera Raw 6.6 update for Elements 10. Still no luck.

    The latest update for pse 10 in relation to camera raw is 6.7.
    If i'm not mistaken Help>Updates should work from within the pse 10 editor.
    What camera are the camera raw files from?

  • Sony Image Data Converter no longer opens RAW files

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard Sony Image Data Converter (ver 3.1) cannot open my RAW files. It sees the files but claims they are 0x0 pixels in size. It worked fine with Leopard 10.5.8.

    Image Data Converter v2.2.02 also fails to open any files but was OK in 10.5.8. Image Data Lightbox v1.0.02 does run OK, opens a directory of files fine, and converts them. The app crashes on exit every time however!
    Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Elements v6 all work perfectly well. But I have never been able to see ARW images in Adobe Bridge!

  • Cannot open RAW file with new camera

    I just purchased a Nikon D610 that I use to shoot RAW files. When I inserted the SDHC card in my Mac, I got a message that "Photoshop 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 installed via Help>Updates..." This is the first time I've had this problem. With my former Nikon D600, the RAW files opened right away with no problems. I installed Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 and DNG Convertor 8.6, but it still doesn't work.

    I've got some good news and some bad news.
    The bad news is the D610 is supported in Camera Raw but you need a minimum of version 8.3 for it to work out-of-the-box. I know CC works with updates; I believe CS6 does too w/ updates. If you have anything earlier than that you need to upgrade.
    The good news is that the D610 is supported in DNG Converter since version 8.3 but I don't know why it's not working for you. What's happening when you go to convert? Same error message?

  • DNG raw plug in 8.2 cannot open raw files from canon camera S120

    After downloading DNG raw plug in 8.2 for CS5 for the new Canon S120 camera, the raw file still cannot be open
    Can someone help

    Right, ACR 8.3 is for cs6 and cc; it will not work as a plugin update in CS5.  You should download the 8.3 DNG converter stand alone program from
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    then use it to convert folders of your new S120 cr2 raw files to folders of dng files, which can be processed in your cs5 by acr 6.7 (latest cs5 release).
