How to update to Camera Raw 5.7 or 6 for Photoshop CS3???

Just got a Pentax K-7 with PEF raw files, but my Photoshop CS3 can't recognize it. Unfortunately, it looks like all the updates to get PEF is for CS4 or now only for CS5. Is there a way to get the update for what seems already an old version of Photoshop?

As written, that is absolutely false.

That is also inaccurate. I you use Bridge CS5, yes, it will host ACR 6.x. But if you use Bridge CS4, the latter will host ACR 5.x. At least in the Mac world.
I doubt Adobe would let such a programming fault get through to the market that would let Bridge CS4 host ACR 6.x. That would be a gigantic loophole of which many users would take advantage. Some of us upgrade our version of Photoshop solely to get the latest version of ACR.
Perhaps you can clarify?

Which camera make and model are you importing images from?

I have a Cannon EOS 100 and cannot read CR2 files in camera raw. I need to know how to update the camera raw version in CS6

I have tried to obtain an update from the web-site and uninstalled and re-installed CS6 but still have the problem.

How do you bypass camera raw when opening a jpeg into photoshop?

I am finding that when I right click on a jpg image in a folder in finder, the jpg is being opened in camera raw rather than directly into photoshop even though I am selecting photoshop. Help!
Another issue is the shortcut for save is "command s" and when I hit that it is pulling up the save as feature. What gives? Is my version a lemon?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You must have used Lightroom or Camera Raw to apply metadata to those JPEGs.
Do you have Bridge? You'd use Edit > Develop Settings > Clear Settings on selected JPEGs. They should then directly open in Photoshop.

camera raw 7.2 will not install on photoshop cs6

Do a search/ ask in the PS/ ACR forums. This has been discussed. It's a blockage with certain ACR settings that need to be removed and fixed manually.

How to update to Camera Raw 7.4

I just don't get it how to do this ... Will you please impart your knowledge.
I so thank you. Penni

Normally one need only start Photoshop and choose Help - Updates to get the process started.
Another alternative is to run the Adobe Application Manager from where it was installed in the Start menu (assuming Windows). I assume it will be similar for Mac (e.g., running it from within Applications in Finder).

When will Lightroom be updated with camera raw 8.7?

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me when LR will be updated with camera raw 8.7, containing support for the new Nikon D750 camera?
Many thanks for any feedback

Until you convert to DNG you wont be able to import the 750 NEFs into Lightroom.
As I am a Windows user I'm not sure what you mean about Command R but to use the DNG convertor you need to download from the link and install it.
Then you start up the convertor as a separate application and you will see the following panel:
Then choose the Images to Convert
Select a location to save the converted images (defaults to the same location as the input images)
Rename the images if you so wish (Default is just to creat a file of the same name with DNG extension)
Then Convert and after the conversion you will be able to import the DNG files into Lightroom 5.6
Then it doesn't matter if you have Camera RAW 8.7 in CS6 as they will open directly from LR to CS6 as you would normally do.
I guess it is a little inconvenient because you have an additional step to convert the NEF to DNG but it at least get you there in the meantime while you are waiting for the final LR product.
Enjoy!

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier? Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

How to install Camera RAW update for Photoshop CS3?

I know this is an ancient version! But for now it's all I need. Anyway...
My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem. I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates. Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it. I knkow the website says to do the following:
Mac:
Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
Open the Finder.
Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensureyou keep this version in case you need to revert back.
Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist. Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!
Thank you so much!

You may need to purge your Bridge cache for the folder with Mark II raws in it using:
Bridge / Tools / Cache / Purge Cache For Folder current-folder-name
I can see Mark II files in Bridge 5.0.2 for CS6 after installing the ACR 8.8 update, but I didn't try viewing thumbnails in the folder before I had ACR 8.8 so there were no cached "cannot read this file" thumbnails..
If purging the cache and letting it rebuild doesn't work check to see what version of ACR Bridge has by using ridge / Edit / Camera Raw Preferences... (that's the Windows menu path). Here is what I see:

The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6. Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.
