Help!  Can't open Raw files

Hello all, Not exactly an expert here but I am trying to follow the instructions. I have cs2 and trying to open raw files. I have downloaded the update, as instructed, unzipped and placed in the file, again, as instructed. CS2 STILL says 'can not open as is the wrong type of file'. I really want to get the grips with raw but can't even get past the first step.
Thanks,
Lucy

Are you sure you have installed the correct version. The CS3 version of ACR does not work with CS2.
This is the link to the last version that was created for CS2
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3587
It should be installed in this folder on a standard windows installation.
Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
If you already have the right file in the right place, it might mean your camera came is relatively new. Adobe stopped updating ACR for CS2 when CS3 came out. IF your camera came out after that then ACR for CS2 wont open it.
You could use the Adobe DNG converter or get a third party RAW Converter. Some of the newer versions of Elements also support the new version of ACR

  • I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

    I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
    If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
    Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
    See the following for more info.

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.

  • I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

    I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
    Hope some one can help me.

    The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
    Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
    Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

  • Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D

    Can't open RAW files from a Canon 70D with Photoshop Elements 12.  Is there an upgrade / download available.  Current RAW plug in is version 8.0.0.137

    What operating system are you using?
    The newest version of camera raw for pse 12 is version 8.4, which should open the canon 70D files.
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor?

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

  • Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5. What is the fix for this?

    How do I fix this problem? Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5.

    You could try Help > Update, but that was a flakey process in CS5 times.
    It's better to download and instally manually.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't open raw files in 32 bit CS4

    Am using Vista 64 bit OS and because I recently purchased Nik Software's Complete Ed was necessary to change from initial set up of PS CS4 64 bit to 32 for their usage compatability. Had Camera Raw 5.0 on 64 bit version, copied camera raw 8bi plug in file format and placed in correct file format folder for the 32 bit version of PS. ...sounds easy enough...but when I attempt to open a raw file in PS or bridge it will not open and get message - Could not complete your request because of a program error.  Camera raw does show up and only once under the About Plug In submenu. Have tried Purge Cache option. Can still open raw files as always in 64 bit version, save and reopen 32bit version to continue but hoping for solution to eleminate that hassle. Thanks for your needed advice!  

    Plugin's have to be rewritten for a 64-bit environment so copying the 64-bit ACR to the 32-bit folder won't work.  You need the 32-bit version of ACR in the 32-bit CS4 folder.
    I'm not sure if the ACR 5.6 updater will work to update both versions, or if you need to download and install the plugin's manually. 
    You can get to the manual install ZIP by following the PSE link near the top of the regular ACR 5.6 page linked on the updates page:

    You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

  • How can I open RAW files from Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9?

    How can I open RAW files from my Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9

    Three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE11
    2. download the free Adobe DNG Converter and then convert your RAWs to DNG, which will open in PSE9
    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files

    I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files I've shot in LR 3, I read I would be able to in LR 4 or 5. Because my mac is 10.6.8 I prefer to get LR 4 so I don't have to also update my operating system. Will LR 4 open my rw files in Mark3 D5. What about my older files in LR 3 will I loose the catalogs when I do this?

    Thanks John, I ordered the software from Adorama and I'm expecting it today. I did use a DNG converger, I found it kind of slow, maybe thats because of the file size.
    I'm curious to see if the conversion files will look the same as the direct raw files I'm used to seeing in Lightroom. It'll be good to compare. While waiting I looked at the files in Digital Photo Professional and the files looked incredible. I was able to open one at a time in PS but in TIFF format. Not the most practical but impressive. I'm loving the D5 Mark 111
    after one go at it.

  • Nikon D7200 and can not open RAW files.  Error msg says camera isn't supported.  Using PSElements 12

    I recently purchased a Nikon D7200 and I can not open RAW files.  I get error messages indicating camera isn't supported.  I've downloaded RAW 9.0 but no luck.  I'm running PSElements 12.  Any suggestions?  Is the camera too new for Adobe?

  • Can't open raw files from a supported camera

    Hi.  I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates.  I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model.  It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera.  Any ideas?

    The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
    I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products.  You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
    If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:
