I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop cs5, but they dont save properly after editing

I can open RAW files from my camera in photoshop, but then after I have edited, i save as .raw, and open up the newly saved file and it just comes up as a grey messed up picture.  What am I doing wrong?

Yes, it is preferable to do as much editing on the raw files as you can including global and local tone & color correction in Camera Raw...but there is a limit to the work you can do and sometimes you must go ahead and render the raw file into Photoshop for additional work. Then you'll be needing layers and other functionality that can't be done on a raw file. At that point you'll need to save as a TIFF or PSD. If you work in 16 bit and a large enough color space, the TIFF or PSDs will still be capable of the highest quality...as others have indicated, the Photoshop .raw file format ain't for photography per se.

  • Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...

    I can't open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 on Elements 7. The files from my old Nikon D70s open but not my D7000... Any Idea why?

    Not sure what your version of PSE is but if it is PSE13 then you may need to update your product by going to
    Help >> Updates
    This ensures you get the latest updates to support all known cameras in the market.
    Old products may not have the latest updates so you need to use DNG converter for which there is a wonderful video that is self explanatory:
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    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)

  • Unable to open Raw files from Nikon D800 in Photoshop CC [was:raw updates with creative cloud?]

    i have a d800, bridge or photoshop do not seem to support the raw files, i am using CC and bridge will not bring up the thumbnails and photoshop will not open the files at all, can anyone help?

    [Moved from Cloud forum to Camera Raw forum]
    ACR = Adobe Camera Raw.
    ACR is the plugin used by Photoshop to read and process Raw files from cameras. It must be updated every time a new camera comes on to the market.
    The Nikon D800 has been fully supported since ACR7.1
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    ACR7.1 is compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So, if you are in fact using Photoshop CC, there should be no reason that Raw files cannot be opened.
    In Photoshop, click:
    Windows: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Which version number is shown?
    Are you using Nikon transfer software to get the Raw files from your camera to your computer?

  • Cannot open CR2 files from Canon T4i with Photoshop CS5

    Please help

    tienstran,
    Don't hold your breath.  You will NEVER be able to  open raw files from a Digital Rebel T4i EOS 650D EOS Kiss X4i directly in CS5.
    There wil not be any further updates for CS5, ever.  The last version of ACR that will ever run with CS5 is ACR 6.7.1, and you are correct that you need at least ACR 7.1 (or higher) to open your files.
    On the other hand, you are wrong about support for your camera in the free Adobe DNG Converter.  All versions of the Adobe DNG Converter form 7.1 and up—including the Adobe DNG Converter 8.1—do support your camera model.
    Once a version of either ACR or the Adobe DNG Converter supports a given camera model, all subsequent versions will continue to support it.
    So, go and download the Adobe DNG Converter 8.1 and convert your raw Canon files to raw DNG files that you can now open in any version of ACR that will run with CS5.
    Remember:  the Adobe DNG Converter works on folders containing your raw files, it does not see the individual files in the folder.  You must point the Adobe DNG Converter to the folder itself, not the files.

  • How to open RAW files from canon 1000D in Photoshop and Lightroom cc?

    Hi, I can't open my RAW files from my Canon 1000D in Photoshop and Lightroom cc (trial version) Also the DNG converter doesn't recognize the CR2 files. When I check the list with supported camera's the 1000D is there so it should be working. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks!

  • How to get Adobe Camera RAW loaded so I can open RAW files from a Panasonic LX7?

    I opened these images two days ago. Now I get a message that the CS6 Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. I went online and again(3rd time)downloaded Camera RAW 7.3 and tried installing and opening the images.
    Once again - same thing.
    Now I have something called a DNG converter on the machine and I don't know what it is.
    I opened it and tried to get to the LX7 files in my computer I can see in Bridge - and the DNG converter does not show the files at all.
    I was doing just fine with CS5 - then I bought this piece of crap because I could not get an update for CS5 to open the Panasonic Lumix LX7 images. So, I wasted $200 on CX6 only to find I can't get my images opened.
    I hate photoshop more every damn day
    First, took three days and over 9 hours wasted on hold for Adobe phone help - and finally got a guy on to help me register Photoshop CS6 - and he could not get it to register. Finally after a day & a half and hours of continually cutting and pasting from teh online computer to the main computer that does not hook up to the Internet I got CS6 to work.
    Then, I opened the Panasonic LX7 RAW images twice after downloading and installing Adobe Camera RAW 7.1 and 7.3 - and now the machine does not recognize the files and tells me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111
    I went there and have downloaded the Camera Raw 7.1 and 7.3 four different times now and tried installing it - and Still can't open the damn files. I keep getting the same "photoshop cannot open this file" message and teh same referenc to teh above.
    How can I get this piece of Shiz to work???
    Oh - the name for ID above is after 22 minutes of trynig to find an name this program would accept.

    The first thing I would suggest is, in Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw to verify what version is installed. There should only be one version listed, and listed only once. If there are more, then you need to get rid of the extras.
    The DNG converter is a program that will create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw images. It takes all of the raw image data and copies it to a new file format. The raw data is unmodified, and the DNG file is a standardized and open documented file format. But the DNG converter will not list the actual files. You choose the folder that contains your original raw images, and then the converter will put the copies wherever you choose to put them. But if your camera is supposed to be supported by the latest version of Camera Raw, I don't know if converting will solve the problem. It won't hurt anything; your raw files are still intact.
    It would be helpful if you could describe your computer; operating system, how much RAM, a little information to allow the experts (of which I am NOT one) to help you isolate and solve this problem.

  • DNG raw plug in 8.2 cannot open raw files from canon camera S120

    After downloading DNG raw plug in 8.2 for CS5 for the new Canon S120 camera, the raw file still cannot be open
    Can someone help

    Right, ACR 8.3 is for cs6 and cc; it will not work as a plugin update in CS5.  You should download the 8.3 DNG converter stand alone program from
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    then use it to convert folders of your new S120 cr2 raw files to folders of dng files, which can be processed in your cs5 by acr 6.7 (latest cs5 release).

  • Cannot open RAW files from new camera

    I downloaded the first batch of photos from my new D7100 camera.  I have downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw.  But I cannot view the RAW files in Bridge or open them in PS5.  PC based.

    The latest version of ACR can not be use with old version of Photoshop like CS5.  You need to use the latest DNG converter  to create DNG versions of your D71000 RAW files.  And use the latest ACR version CS5 supports to create RGB image by converting the DNG files you generated for your Camera's RAW files.

  • Cannot open raw files from canon 6d in photoshop cs6 or lightroom 4

    I just bought a canon 6d but now the files are not opening in lightroom or photoshop. is there a plug in or something I can use to make these work?

    The Canon 6D has been supported since LR 4.3 and PS-CS6/ACR 7.3 so you may need to update.
    You can find LR updates on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    You should be able to update to ACR 8.7.1 via Help / Updates in PS’s menus.
    Or if that doesn't work, you can download the ACR 8.7.1 installer from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    Unless you’re still running an older OS, like Windows Vista or earlier or OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, then you’ll need the ACR 8.3 installer from here:

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>

  • Iphoto won't open raw files from leica dlux-6 camera.

    I just purchased a leica d-lux 6 camera and use a macbook. seems that iphoto which I've been using for years  can not open raw files from this camera. Will it ever?  I downlaoded the free lightroom Leica gave and it can open raw but it seems to require more of a learning curve than iphoto. If I continue to use both lightroom and iphoto on same mac computer cause problems?  Any suggestions?  I guess i could shoot in jpeg and raw and use only iphoto for jpegs and use LR for the occasional raw shots?

    Correct, the D-Lux 6 is not currently supported for Raw in iPhoto or Aperture. Apple may add support in a future update. Let them know you want it:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    LR is a very powerful, professional grade application and yes, requires a lot more learning than iPhoto. If that doesn't interest you, then respectfully, I would suggest that you just shoot Jpeg.

  • Can photoshop CC open raw files from Lightroom 5?

    Trying to open raw files from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CC 2014, with no luck.
    Anyone?

    Problems are as follows— all versions are current.
    1. When in Lightroom, trying to open a photo in Photoshop,-- choosing Photo>Edit in Photoshop CC 2014— Photoshop opens but no photo appears. The only time a photo opens is if it is a JPEG… CR2 does not open, dng does not open
    2. When trying to open a JPEG in Photoshop, dialog box opens offering choice between "Edit Original", "Edit a copy", or "Edit with Lightroom adjustments", Only choosing “Edit Original” allows photo to open.
    3. When in Photoshop choosing “Browse in Bridge” does not open Bridge… opens CC app and prompts me to install another version of Bridge, or keep version I have.  (See attached screenshot) Either way it’s a malfunction… as I said earlier all versions are leanest.
    PLEASE HELP!!
