Error Opening Camera RAW

Running CS5 on Windows 7.  From within Bridge I right click on a RAW image and select to Open in camera raw......
I immediately get an error message as follows:
          Camera Raw editing is not enabled.
          Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been
          launched at least once to enable this feature.
But if I just double click on the RAW image or try to open it with Photoshop then camera RAW does open correctly.  If I click on Edit then Camera RAW Preferences........ I also get the same error message.   I have been running this software on this computer for a long time and have never had a problem until today.
Yesterday I installed a new mother board in the computer, but I don't see how that would cause this problem.  The computer came up just fine and ran with no problems and other than this error message Photoshop appears to be running fine.
Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error or what I can do to fix the problem??
Thanks

  I am not sure if the following is what
the problem is, but here it goes. Depending on what
the software looks at when it is installed, replacing the motherboard
might be the problem. I once owned a computer that had windows xp insta
lled by the company that I bought the P.C. from. long story short, I
bent a resistor on the motherboard while upgrading a large vi
deo card and needed a new motherboard. Once I installed the motherboard, the preins
talled copy of windows stopped working and basicly, I got an error message that the O
.S. was not running on an "authorized computer. I had to go and buy a
retail version of windows to get my system up
and running. The only thing I can think for you to do is "
disable your copy of photoshop that was registered to the old motherboard,
and then register it to the new motherboard. You should check into this idea more
before taking any action to make sure it is the correct way to fix your problem.

  • How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error

    How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error Bridge parent application is not Active   Bridge requires that a qualifing product has been lanched at least once to enable this feature.  It opens in Photoshop CS6 & Elements 10 but not Bridge?

    You need to look at all programs in your uninstall list, and see if you spot any old trials that are no longer active.
    Camera Raw in Bridge and PS are the same program, so its not the program but access.  Would have been nice it you had stated OS, but here are locatons of camera raw for both OS.

  • Cannot Open Camera Raw images in CS2

    Hi
    I am running CS2 and PSE 8,but cannot open Raw images in CS2
    My camera is an Eos 5 MKII
    Camera Raw in PSE is 5.5.
    I would like to open the Raw files into CS2.
    Any Help would be appreciated.
    I am using the latest firmware from Canon.
    Thankyou
    Keith

    Raw files are unique to each camera model and manufacturer. There is a 'model' field and 'manufacturer' field whose values are checked as any RAW format file is opened and if the program opening that file does not have the codes for processing that specific camera's RAW file, most programs will throw a error message and not precess that file.
    For Adobe image editing programs you need to have the an ACR plugin version that provides the code for your camera model.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list the various cameras supported by Adobe photo editing programs and the version of the earlies ACR plug-in that supports that camera.
    For the Canon Eos 5D MKII you will need ACR plug-in version 5.2 or better.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications list the program versions of Adobe image editing programs, the ACR plug-in version shipped with the program and the latest ACR plug-in version that that program can use.
    The last ACR plug-in version for CS2 is 3.7, so you can not directly open the CR2 or RAW image from this camera. You could upgrade to PhotoShop CS5, the most current version of PhotoShop, or download a copy the free Adobe DNG, Digital NeGative, converter and convert your CR2 files to the Adobe DNG format and then open the DNG file with your copy PhotoShop CS2. You could also open the file with Canon image editing software and transfer the image as Tiff to your copy of CS2.
    This is an Adobe Acrobat U2U forum, You might find additional help in the PhotoShop forums or an Canon U2U forum.

  • Problems opening camera raw files.

    I have tried to open camera raw files (CR2 and RW2) and get an error message that PSE9 can't open this file because it is the wrong type of file. I had thought that PSE9 could open and process Camera Raw. Will appreciate your suggestion for resolving this issue. Thanks.
    Jack

    Try opening directly from the folder rather than from Organizer
    Right click on a file and choose Open With photoshop elements editor

  • Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - but hangs!!

    Just installed CS 5 web premium upgrade from CS4 web P - but Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - it hangs!! - but camera raw can open via Photoshop ext. 64 bit on my Windows 7 pc.
    Whats wrong???
    Bent Medvind

    In that case I would try resetting Bridge preferences by holding down Ctrl as you start Bridge.
    Before that, ensure that there isn't a hidden copy of Bridge running under Task Manager > Processes.

  • Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

    I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
    I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
    "Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
    But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
    How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
    Thanks, CMA

    I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
    If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
    In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
    The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

  • PS5 will not open camera raw pictures...all made with Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 5D Mark II

    What version of camera raw do you have?  You should have at least 6.7 for PS to open Canon 5D Mark III raw images.

  • Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

    Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

    If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
    Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

  • Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.

  • Can't open Camera Raw (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3?

    I can't seem to open Camera Raw CR2 files in Photoshop CS3, my CameraRaw plug in version says it's 4.6 - any help appreciated.

    Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

  • Can't open Camera Raw in Bridge

    One thing I noticed is that with CS5, when I choose Browse in Mini Bridge while in Photoshop, Bridge opens in the background. In CS6 when I browse in Mini Bridge, regular Bridge does not open, although I can open Bridge directly from Photoshop. The other strange thing is that I can open Camera Raw from mini Bridge, just not from regular Bridge. I get the same message as others get, that Bridge's parent application is not active and that I must launch a qualifying product at least once in order to open Camera Raw. I searched all the files I downloaded and installed for "trial" but nothing came up. Is there a certain file name or extension I should be looking for? Or is there some other way to solve the problem?
    Thanks

    Yes, but when I open mini bridge in CS5, I can see Bridge open on my taskbar at the bottom of the screen and I can click on it. In CS6 I can't see bridge open anywhere when I open mini bridge. It is like there is a separate version of bridge running invisibly or something. I don't understand it.
    It sounds like your on a PC (Windows).  Windows only allows one version of Photoshop and one version of Bridge to run are ang given time.  There are also Preferences in the Bridge Advance setting to start bridge at log on. When this option is check Bridge stays open in the background and may be hidden. So if Bridge CS5 is running and you start Photoshop CS6 Bridge CS6 will not be able to start. So make sure the check box to start Bridge is not checked in both Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS6

    Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • Bridge not opening Camera Raw -- Opens in PS instead?

    I am trying to open files in Bridge using Camera Raw.  I have checked "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings In Bridge", but double clicking instead opens photoshop and then opens camera raw from photoshop.  I looked under file type associations and under NEF the default application was photoshop, so I thought, I will get it to open in ACR, but there doesn't appear to be an option to select that.
    How do I get my files to open in ACR in bridge?
    I just found that if I tried to edit ACR options it said the 'not enabled, qualifying product' message

    I use CTRL R to open in Camera Raw with out opening Photoshop.
