Get Photoshop to open a SVG File?

Is there a way to get Photoshop to open a SVG File? I know I can open it in Illustrator save as a EPS file then open into photoshop but I would prefer a quicker method than that work around.
I found a Plug-In that will do this but it cost 99 for a year license and I do not use SVGs enough to justify the cost. Are there any free plug-ins?

This very along the lines of what I'd like to see as well...
I mean what's involved?... SVG is all paths, fills + gradients, no? I wanted to do this to, but to change them all manually into shapes and paths seems pretty broken.
This is related to many recent (past 3-5 years) problems in Photoshop...its inability to handle vector information appropriately.
I tried importing the SVG into illustrator, and exporting as .ai, thinking photoshop would understand the data as PATH's and masks and gradients then...but nope... wanted to force it all into bitmask data..Broken! Why can't it read in the paths and gradients AS paths and gradients? I don't want
to convert to a bitmap...
Seems like photoshop tries to force you into inefficient format by default and makes it difficult, near impossible to change from things created as vectors and shade/gradients, and patterns into objects that are those things, whereas the default should be to create the items as objects and convert or overlay bitmask layers on top of a layer so created, when needed, automatically. (sized for the actual bit mask and relative to the created shap layer.

How do I get Photoshop to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5 for Mac 10.91.

How do I get Photoshop CS4 to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5. I have a Mac 10.91.operating system and have tried downloading and installing Camera_Raw_5_2.dmg, which has failed to do the trick.

Thanks Pierre, I have converted the .rwl files to .dng, but CS4 says it does not recognise them. What now? Or is Mylenium correct?

Hello, you should download the latest DNG converter: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
I suggest to contact Leica and ask them why they do not use the DNg format on that camera, as they do on their more costly models.

PSCS3 Mac: Can't get Applescript to open "desktop:folder:file.jpg"

I have Photoshop CS3 and am scripting a lengthy workflow, and part of it requires that I get Metadata out of files using Photoshop.
I can not get Photoshop to open a file. Once I have the file open, I can get the metadata out using UI scripting, but I have tried numerous approaches to open files and it has me stumped.
I am making it as a function that I can call from the main script which compares a new list of files with a list that is a few minutes old to determine which files are new and repeats with each file in the list. So the function will be getting a file name or a path.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Brian

I got it! It needs to be an alias class path, and I had to concatenate the path incrementally before finally the whole path is in one variable I could coerce into an alias.
Of course, this is just one segment of the whole workflow.

OS X Lion - Get up to date

Our computer crashed, we replaced hard drive, and now we can't get Photoshop to open.

One of our computers crashed and we had to replace the hard drive. Now we can't get Photoshop to open. Since the computer didn't give us any warning we didn't get to deactivate Photoshop before the crash. I've been on the Adobe site for over an hour getting run around in circles without getting even close to finding a solution. Apparently, there are no living humans at Adobe and their customer care department consists of this "community" and a lot of redundant web pages. Decent customer service would be a nice touch for such a big company.

So sorry for your troubles. This is a user-to-user forum & we're all just product users like you. Unfortunately, we can't help you with deactivation/activation issues since we don't work for Adobe.

Photoshop not opening double clicked files anymore?

Hi all...
All of a sudden my copy of Photoshop CS1 has stopped opening files when they are double clicked in the finder or passed any other way. The only way I can get PS to open a file is by opening them from it's File menu! Draging a file to it's dock icon or selecting "edit in external editor" in iPhoto all no longer work when they used to before.
All of these actions start up PS but that is as far as it goes, it fires up and then just sits there!
Any suggestions as to why this might be? This sort of problem used to be sorted by rebuilding the desktop in OS 9. Is there a similar procedure for OS X?
Thanks in advance.

The fix is to reinstall Photoshop. You are missing a file called Adobe Unit Types which should be located in the ScriptingAdditions folder in your Library folder on your Macintosh HD.

CS4 - Getting error when opening a .gif file - file-format module cannot parse the file.

I am getting this popup error when trying to open a .gif file:
"Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
This comes up every time I try to open a .gif file. Even if I make a .gif file (like the image included in this post), save it and then try to open it again, I get the same error. I tried reinstalling CS4, but the error is still there. I have also done the reset on start-up and nothing. Some have suggested that I open it in (Windows XP Pro) MS Paint and then save it again. Did it and this does NOT work for me, either.
I know it's a Photoshop problem because I can see this file everywhere, except Photoshop. It will open here, there and everywhere, except for Photoshop.
I've searched the Adobe Commmunity and it looks like no one has come up with a fix for this. I'm just currious after 5 years with this problem, has there been a solution?

I am trying to Open an SVG file with Flash

There's a list of programs that open svg files, and Flash was one of them (besides CS5). I know about Inkscape but can't open it with OSX without getting something to run windows (11) and when I went to get that it wasn't available. So I downloaded flash, and it says it's installed but there is no reference to Flash on my computer (except the install pkg). Any ideas??

You downloaded Flash, or Flash Player? Flash Player is a web player (browser plugin), not a standalone player.
Adobe Media Player may do what you want.

How do I get photoshop to open my images as sRGB instead of Adobe RGB?

My Camera is set to sRGB but when I open the raw files they are opening as adobe RGB. I take photos of clothing for online stores and when the Adobe RGB images are loaded onto their site it is turning all of the skin tones grey. I don't want to manually change every photo when I open them in photoshop.
Also, what is better for portraits and printing? sRGB or Adobe RGB?
Britt

This is set in ACR workflow options (the blue link below the main image window).
The camera setting is irrelevant, that only applies to in-camera processed jpegs. A raw file has no color space until it's opened into one in the raw converter.
Stay with sRGB until you know why you want a bigger color space. It has advantages, but also carries risks that can bite you if you don't know what you're doing.
