How to open RAW files in 16 bit mode?

In Photoshop CS3 all my RAW files opened in 16 bit mode. In CS5 they all open in 8-bit mode. I've looked all over for where this setting might be made but I can't find it. How do I tell Photoshop or Camera Raw to open images in 16 bit mode?

That does it. Thanks!
I may have missed it in the Help files, but I sure couldn't find it. Help tells me all about why I want to use 16 bits, but not how to get them.

    how to open raw files in elements 11

    Hi Have tried to do that but get a box with message along top "The file aready exists in the catalog"  it is also showing the incorrect file path and saying not connected to the path I have found the photo in.  The only differenct is that elements it saying it is in E drive and I have it in C drive the rest of the path is the same.
    The photos have imported into the my folders but I can't open any, every one i've tried to open brings up the box "searching for missing file" There are no photos in E drive the path it is saying doesn't exist all photos are in c drive, very very frustrating

  • How can ACR 5.2 be set to open RAW files as 16 Bit as default?

    When I open RAW files in ACR they always open as 8 Bit. Is there any way to set ACR so that RAW files always open as 16 Bit as default? How?
    Lightroom 2.2/ PS CS4

    In the middle/bottom area of the Camera Raw window is a 'hyper link' type of line showing some default info. Clicking on that link brings up the Workflow Options dialog box. The 'Depth' setting should be set to 16 Bits/Channel. Then press OK to accept the changes then press Done to close the ACR Window and save the changes.

  • How can I set ACR 5.2 to open RAW files as 16 Bit and not 8?

    Whenever I open RAW files in ACR 5.2 they open as 8 bit. I change the bit depth to 16 and work on a file... but when I open my next RAW file it's back to 8.
    Is there any way to set ACR so that it always opens my RAW files as 16 Bit.. and saves other settings as well?

    Bennett, when you open a raw file in Camera Raw and finish working on it the choices to click on are Open Image, Cancel, and Done. Which one are you clicking on to close the image in ACR? Cancel will do just that. Cancel the changes and the 16/8 bit setting will not be kept. The other two choices (Open Image and Done) will maintain the changes you made and the 16/8 bit setting and the color space should stick for the next image.

  • 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:

  • How to open RAW files from Canon M series?

    Have just bought the new EOS M series and can't open RAW files in Aperture despite it being the latest version. Any ideas?

    The list of supported cameras for raw processing is here:
    Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    I do not yet see your camera on this list. You will have to wait a little bit, until Apple has released the converter.

  • How to open Raw files from Canon 1100D and 650D in CS5?

    I need assistance please. I have a Canon 1100D and 650D. On Photoshop CS5 it does not recognise the 2 Cameras Raw files. What is my course of action. Help will be highly appreciated

    evjems, As per the below article, Canon EOS 1100D needs minimum Adobe Camera Raw(ACR) version 6.4 and Canon EOS 650D needs minimum ACR version 7.1
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    So, you should be able to open raw files of 1100D, if you upgrade your PS ( Help > Updates), but not of 650D as it needs PS CS6 and above.
    Let me know in case you still have any doubts.
    Hope that Helps!

    Thanks for that, what is the other option?
    In addition to the proposed software that comes with the camera, you can also try alternate image viewers such as XnView, IrfanView or ACDSee. Some of them support quite a few RAW formats, but usually only with limited adjustment options and output only to JPEG or otehr 8bit formats, but that may be good enough for you.

  • 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 .raw files in Lightroom?

    Hi
    One of my clients sent me .raw-files to use them for a flyer design.
    Since I have my own Nikon D90, which has no problems taking pictures in RAW and converting them to .NEF in Photoshop Lightroom, I thought it would be as easy as that to do this with the .raw files but it isn't.
    Since they were sent via WeTransfer, I am wondering how I can open them in Photoshop or Lightroom?
    Thanks
    Bob

    I wish I could but even Adobe DNG Converter doesn't seem to be able to fix it... :@
    I sent my client an email to ask him for the photographer's contact information, and I'll see if he can sent me the .DNG files...
    Other options if he can't send the .DNG?

  • How to open RAW files in photoshop cs3

    Three years ago I purchased a Nikon 7000 and the cs3 will not open the Raw files  

    That would require ACR 6.3 which shipped with Photoshop CS5. Your best bet is to convert your Raw files to dng format  and then they should open in CS3.

  • How to open raw files from a panasonic gx7 in lightroom 4

    just bought a panasonic gx7 camera unable to open the raw files in lightroom 4,elements 9 and elements 11. have downloaded dng 8.2 still wont open raw files

    You can't just download the DNG converter. It has to be installed. It is a standalone program that you must run independently from Lightroom. You choose a FOLDER in the DNG converter, and it will convert all the images in that folder. Have you tried to do these things?
