How to open 12-bit RAW files

I have Adobe Master Collection CS6.
After a recent photography trip I accidentally downloaded raw images from my Nikon D600 to a computer that had an older 32-bit version of Nikon View NX2.  All of the files came across as 12-bit RAW lossless compressed instead of 14-bit RAW lossless compressed.  Photoshop will not open any of these files.
I contacted Nikon support first (twice), but they couldn’t/wouldn’t offer any suggestion on how I might be able to open these files for post-processing.  Do you have any suggestions that might help me?

Hi,
Did you already erase the images from the card?
(format the card)
For some reason older versions of nikon view when used with more recent nikon
cameras corrupt the images in such a way that adobe camera raw won't open them.
If you don't have access to the images on the card anymore, i.e. you already formatted
the card, you might try this to fix the nefs so adobe camera raw will open them:

  • Camera Raw only offers to open 16-bit raw files in 8-bit mode

    I am using a windows CS6 Bridge => Camera Raw (8.2) => CS6 Photoshop (13.0.1 x64) to try to open various 16-bit raw files (.dng, .nef, .arw) which Bridge sees as 16-bit, but only an 8-bit version makes it into photoshop.
    How do I convince Camera Raw to do its job?
    Lightroom (4.4) is able to export a 16-bit .psd which sort-of-works but shouldn't be necessary.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    You set the bitdepth in your work options dialog box, which you access by clicking on the line that looks like a link right under the ACR preview:
    Don't be afraid to read the Help files or other documentation that came with Photoshop (otherwise known as Read The Fine Manual).

  • How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

    I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

    Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.

  • How to open Nikon D800E Raw files in PSE9? [was:Gad, what next?]

    I'm not a beginner, but after installing and upgrading Photoshop Elements 9, I find it cannot recognize RAW files from Nikon D800E. Either don't load, or load just noise, no picture. Suggestions -- I hope?

    Moved from Photoshop for Beginners forum to Photoshop Elements forum
    The D800E was first supported in Camera Raw 6.7
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    which is only compatible with PSE10 or later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    You can either upgrade to PSE12 to open and read Raw files in PSE
    or download the free DNG converter, convert all D800E Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in PSE9

  • How to open Nikon D7100 Raw files in PSE11? [was:upgrade?]

    How do I upgrade my elements 11 since I can`t open RAW-files from my new camera Nikon D7100?

    This is not the Photoshop forum, it is the Camera Raw forum. Your camera requires Camera Raw 7.4 or later. I don't know what versions of Camera Raw will work with Photoshop Elements 11. In Elements, you could try Help/update to see if that will automatically update you to the most current version available. Alternatively, you could try using the latest DNG converter with your raw files. But to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 just go to the Adobe product website and purchase an upgrade. You can download it and install. Adobe will e-mail you a serial number. Since you are purchasing an upgrade, the installation will look for your previous version and validate the serial number. It's a simple process to upgrade.

  • How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

    Can someone help?  I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files.  It was OK with the raw files from my 450D.  I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot.  I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

    The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
    or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

  • How to open Canon 6D Raw files in Photoshop 7.0? [was: CR2 Files]

    why  did my Photoshop 7.0 stop opening CR2 files

    Photoshop 7 is only compatible with Camera Raw 1.0.

    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    To open, Raw files from the Canon 6D you need Photoshop CS6, CC or CC 2014. Adobe no longer sells CS5 or earlier.
    Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    Use that to convert all Raw 6D files to DNGs then try opening the DNGs in Photoshop 7.

  • How to open Nikon D5300 Raw files in PSE 11? [was:Help Please]

    With My old Nikon D90 Elements 8 would open raw files OK I now have a new Nikon D5300 and when trying to open a raw file it tells me that it is the wrong type of file Help Please
    Andy

    There isn't a generic nikon raw. Each camera has its own raw format and the camera raw plugin has to be updated every time a new camera comes out. The D5300 requires ACR 8.3, which is only compatible with PSE 12. So you have three options:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 12.
    2. Use the nikon software to convert the files and send the converted images to PSE for any further editing.
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to create dng files that your version of camera raw can understand.

    I have Elements 12 and a Canon 70D but cannot access my raw files - what to do?

    Run Help> Updates. This will install the 8.4 plug-in necessary to open 70D files (first supported in v8.2). This will require W7 or later, XP or Vista won't update to 8.4.

  • Horrible Adobe Chat Experience - How to open Canon 6D Raw files in CS5?

    Hi, I just had an awful Adobe Chat experience with agent Dharma. I waited a very long time and when Mr. Dharma finally was able to help me, he wasn't able to. I was told that my product would no longer be supported and I couldn't be helped by Adobe because it was CS5. I was also sent to a faulty link. Anyway, I recently purchased a Canon EOS 6D and when I tried uploading my photos to Photoshop CS5 it said my RAW photos could not be supported. I followed the appropriate links for support and help.
    My CS5 is updated, the Adobe Bride is updated. The extension for the photos is CR2 and they will not show the thumbnails in bridge and won't load in Photoshop. I need help. Now, I am hoping Adobe will support it's product and customer.

    As each new camera comes out, Adobe have to write the code that enables Camera RAW to work with its RAW files.  It is nrealistic to expect them to keep doing this for all previous versions of Photoshop.  The Canon 6D needs ACR7.3 which Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You have several alternatives. 
    As an owner of CS5 you can take up the BUndle deal at $10 a month.
    You can download the free DNG conversion software, and convert your CR2 files to DNG which CS5 can read.
    You can buy Lightroom 5, oir even Lightroom 4 (if you can still find a copy)
    I'd go with the Bundle deal.  There is a lot more to CC than reading Canon 6D RAW files.

  • How to open Canon T5i Raw files in Photoshop? [was: need help]

    I have purchased CS5 quit some time ago. I recently got a Canon T5I and CS5 doesn't recognize the files. But Light room does. So talked to Canon they say it is an Adobe issue. So downloaded the DNG converter 7.4 and it doesnt recognize the files either. So i thought i would up grade to the Photoshop CC but it wont install correctly either.

    I need the download link to camer raw

    Can you go to Expert Mode and click on the top menu Help
    Then click on System Info
    When the System Info dialog opens do you see anything listed under plug-in’s (see image below)
    If not, and if no updates are available you must have an incomplete installation.
    In that case, try uninstalling from the Windows control panel and re-installing using the link below.
    Extract the contents of the two zip files and combine them into a single folder – then run the set-up.

  • How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
    Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number. 
    If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor.  If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
    If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
    You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:
