I cant open raw photos in cs4

i cant open raw photos in cs4 with the canon 5d mark 3 the plug in doesnt work

The Canon 5D Mark 3 requires Camera Raw 7.1 or higher.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to 5.7

To open Raw 5D Mk 3 photos you'll have to either:
a) upgrade to CS6, or
b) join the Adobe Cloud and get CS6
Alternatively, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter

Convert all the Raw images to DNG then edit the DNGs in CS4.

  • Cant Open Raw Photos

    I have a new Cannon 70D camera.  I shot RAW photos this past weekend and downloaded the photos to my computer.  I try to open them in Photoshop Elements 10 and I get a message that they are in the wrong format.  My photos have .CR2 on them.  Got any ideas?  Does this new camera require a upgrade in Photoshop?  What could be wrong?

    Most probably you will require a new PSE to edit these photos directly but you don't have to because there are various ways to get this going:
    1) First make sure that your PSE is up to date by going to:
    Help >> Upgrades
    2) Next download DNG convertor from Adobe website. For windows the link is here:
    <https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5694&fileID=5707>
    3) To use the DNG convertor, you can view this video:

    This should almost take care of your requirements.

  • Editing raw photos in CS4 and returning to a specific event in Iphoto '09

    I wish to edit raw photos in CS4. I have set CS4 as my preferred editor in preferences. When I am finished editing in CS4, I wish to to return the edited photo to the same event from which it came. How do I do this without saving the photo to the desktop (or where ever) and then importing to Iphoto and then dragging to the appropriate event. Please be specific.

    I don't use CS4, but I may be able to help. I also shoot in RAW and use iPhoto and I use NX2 as my external editor. Here's how I do what you're asking about.
    (1) In iPhoto->Preferences: select send RAW to external editor.
    (2) In iPhoto->Preferences: select Capture NX2 as external editor.
    (3) Import all RAW photos into iPhoto.
    (4) Double click on a photo to send it to NX2. (iPhoto sends a link to the original RAW file in this step.)
    (5) Make any desired edits in NX2.
    (6) in NX2 select "save". This overwites the original RAW file in iPhoto's library.
    (7) in NX2 select "save as JPEG". Navigate to the iPhoto "modified" directory and overwrite the existing JPEG (The one that iPhoto made when it initially processed your RAW file). You should always get and overwrite warning at this point. It means your in the right place!
    All done. After this iPhoto automatically updates the corresponding thumbnail to match. At this point, you modified RAW file and it corresponding JPEG are both stored in iPhoto. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't also work with CS4.
    If at any point you'd like to go back to the RAW file and edit it some more simply select "reprocess raw" or "revert to original" in iPhoto.
    In order to be able to navigate into the iPhoto library you first need to make an alias to it by right click and "create alias". Then just place this alias anywhere you like. Browse here in Step 7.
    This solution is not for everyone. If you mess up and save your JPEG in the wrong place you may get unexpected results from iPhoto because it's library is not supposed to be messed with by users. But if you are careful you will be fine. It all depends on how comfortable you are with computers. The choice and risk is up to you. I just wanted to make sure you knew a solution existed.

  • I can't open RAW photos (new canon eos 5.1) in bridge (cs5.1)- just get the logo

    Why can't I can't open RAW photos (from an new canon eos 5.1) in Bridge (cs 5.1)- just get the logo, no thumbnail, works in Finder.

    Ah ha!
    At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
    Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
    I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
    If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
    Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

  • I cant open icloud photos on my pc

    Hi, I cant open my photos on i cloud via my pc can anyone help ? thanks

    If you want to remove them all, connect your iPad to your computer via iTunes.  Once your iPad is recognized on the left side, click on the device once to open it in iTunes.  Click on Photos and uncheck Sycn All Photos and click apply and they will be removed.

  • Can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. is there a solution?

    i'm using a Nikon D3300 and can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. none of the plugins i've tried worked.
    please help.  i really don't want to have to buy a new version of elements or a new computer.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the Nikon D3300 requires camera raw 8.4 which is not compatible with PSE 10.
    Even worse, the DNG Converter 8.4 will not run on a XP or Vista comtuter.
    I don't know if the software that came with the D3300 will run on the XP system but if it does, your only option would be to use it to convert the NEF files to TIF files and then PSE 10 will be able to use the TIF files.
    I think that you really need to think about upgrading your system sooner than later.

  • I cant open raw files in my cannon 7d

    i have a cannon 7D cant open raw files in elements 11

    Here are what versions of Camera Raw support what models of cameras:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Here are what versions of Adobe software use what versions of Camera Raw:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Cross-referencing these two lists, it would appear that the PSE11 updated to its maximum ACR version of 8.0 will read DMC-G5 raws, and XZ2 raws, but not 70D raws, which you'll need PSE12 updated to ACR 8.3 to work with.
    What version of ACR do you have for your PSE11?  Use Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw to find out.

  • Opening RAW photos in PSE 8

    I have recently bought PSE 8. When I had my Canon 350D I could use it to edit RAW photos. I have just bought a Canon 550D and PSE 8 cant open any RAW photos now for editing.

    I went to the Adobe site and from new downloads found the Camera
    Raw 5.7 update for windows. Here is link
    to the pdf instructions
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
    I created a new folder on desktop and moved the current Camera Raw.8bi file to that folder. then copied the new file in its place. opened elements and bingo it worked perfect.

  • Unable to open any photos in CS4

    Hi, my name is Cheryl, and I am new to the group.  I am just about ready to throw this dang computer out the window!  I am running Vista 64 bit, and have downloaded my CS4 to it.  It will not let me download any updates thru the Help section- gives me "Adobe Output module 2.1 Failed to install.  Install process has encountered a problem"  but do you think it tells me what the problem is???!!!!!  No way!  LOL  It also tells me the "Services update- Failed to install"  I have been at this for several days, and I am just about at my wits end!  And when I try to open photos in CS4 it tells me "The specified module could not be found.   C:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\Adobe\AdobeVersionCueCS4\Client\4.0.1\VersionCue.DLL"  I understand the RAW files from my new camera (Canon T1I) won't open because there is no plug-in for it yet, but I can't even open RAW from my previous camera (Rebel XT), nor will it open any JPEGs.  I get the same message for any attempts.  I had no problems with the CS2 opening my older RAW files or JPEGs.  When I open CS4 I get a message about the NVIDIA upgrade, which I finally was able to get that downloaded, tho I still get the message when opening CS4.  I also am having issues now, that says the computer is giving me a "Blocked Startup Programs" message when turning on the computer.  Is this affecting the CS4 somehow??  I never had this message until the last month or so.  Have no idea why it is now blocking programs.  The Adobe CS4 Service Manager is on the list of blocked programs.  Any ideas how to go about unblocking these, and reasons why they may have been blocked in the first place?  The list is about 30 programs long!  As you can tell, my computer "knowledge" leaves much to be desired!      Any advice that anyone can give me would be most greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance.  Cheryl

    OK, I uninstalled CS4, reinstalled it, rebooted the computer, tried to open jpegs- didn't work.
    Tried to install updates from Help, it installed a few, but still won't install "Adobe Output module 2.1"  and "Adobe CS1 CS4 1.0.1 Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1 Adobe CS1 CS4x64 1.0.1"
    I'm really tempted to just wipe clean the computer and use my Restore disk to just start over.  I'm not sure what is causing the problems with this thing.
    So now I'm headed for bed, and will start fresh in the morning and hope for the best!  I'll keep you posted.

  • Cant open RAW files from Nikon D300S

    I have a Nikon D300S.  I can't open RAW files in Adobe CS4.  Screen message is 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'.  I understood from this Adobe website that the fix was to download Camera Raw 5_5.  I've done that and the same screen message appears.  What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do to fix the problem.   If you can list a step by step process in the plainest terms possible then that would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Firstly thanks to all who are trying to assist.  I appreciate your spending time on this.   Hopefully this additional info will help:
    (1) the camera is a Nikon D300s.  I'm not aware of any model details beyond this   It was bought c9 months ago.
    (2) I bought Adobe CS4 before buying the Nikon D300s.   I've used CS4 to convert RAW files from my other cameras - a Nikon D2H and a Minolta Dimage - without any bother at all.
    (3) CS4 is loaded onto my Windows based PC in to the Windows 'Downloads' folder.  I'm not using any Mac computers.
    (4) The procedure I followed to upload the Adobe files was:
    (a)  I clicked 'Help' - About Plug-in - Camera Raw.  Info on screen says 'Version 5.0.0.178
    (b)  In looking at the Adobe support web pages (I can't now find which one it was) it indidated I should check for updates.  I downloaded and saved  Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate.  Its filed in my 'Downloads' folder in Windows.
    (c) I used the Adobe search engine using an enquiry "CS4 Camera Raw Updates'.  This produced a page with box at the top and 2 headings 'Digital camera raw file support' and 'Adobe camera raw and DNG convertor downloads'.  Under this second heading there are choices to click for Widows and Mac OS.  I selected Windows.  The result produces a list of Updates / Programmes.   I selected Adobe DNG Convertor 5.5 update and Camera Raw 5.5 update and downloaded both into my Windows 'Downloads' folder.  I chose these because according to the list info they were relevanf for the Nikon D300s.  I attempted to open a photo taken from the D300s in Raw and the photo would not open - the usual '......not the right document' message.
    (d) from Forum contributions I then deleted version 5.5 of both files downloaded at (c) above and installed version 5.7 and then tried to view the Raw image again, Same result.  This is the up to date position as at this post.
    Have I missed a step somewhere? eg should there be a step forcing a link from the downloaded updates to CS4 or do the downloads automatically link to CS4 when the download is complete?
    Any furhter help you can offer is appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Can't open RAW files in CS4

    I  recently bought the 5d mk2 and I cannot open RAW files. Had no problem with my 20D but 5D does not work. Tried to put new plug in into the plugin folder but it says that it is not recognised by windows or there is an error in it. Anyone help?

    The only other thing I can think of is that when you installed 5.7 you put the older version in a location where it should not have been.  If you are keeping an older copy it cannot be anywhere in the Adobe folder structure.  It's best to just get rid of it completely.  You can always download another copy if necessary.  I know, this is a dumb question, but are you certain you are using Photoshop CS4?

  • ?unable to open raw photo file after downloading camera raw 7.4 update?

    Can anyone help please.
    I recently had my lap top wiped and have had to re load CS6.  I have also downloaded the camera raw 7.4 update (I use a Nikon D7100 camera) The update downloads without any problems, I go through download, install and then finish, but I still am unable to open my raw photos.  I get the following message...   'if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest raw camera update installed'.  I have no idea why it is doing this, or how to combat it.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    Gail

    Hi Benjamin,
    You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
    Many many thanks! Cheers

  • Sony NEW RX10 & iPhoto Cant open RAW files

    Hey Guys, I know that not ALL RAW files are equal! I just picked up a NEW SONY RX10 and its shooting RAW files in Sony's ARW format.. I see that the NEW a7's are updated in OSX updates, Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format, but I cant open these files in Preview and Iphoto wont see them either! Im using OSX 10.8.5 (ML) and Iphoto 11 (9.4.3) (720.91) Is anyone else having this issue with a RX10 or newer Sony camera with ARW files... Please reply! I really would like to shoot in RAW and use iPhoto to edit! I guess not ALL SONY .ARW are equal????

    Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
    There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
    Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
    Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
    And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first
    The current Mavericks list is at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955
