I have CS3 Photoshop and it won't open my Nikon camera raw files.

I checked the RAW version in Photoshop and it is 4.0, why won't my files open?

And what camera? Support for specific cameras is tied to specific versions of ACR. An old version of ACR will never open Raw files from a contemporary camera. Refer to this:

  • Photoshop elements 10 won't open up Nikon d4s RAW files

    Photoshop elements 10 will not open up my RAW files from my new Nikon D4S.  My Nikon d700 RAW files tranfers fine.  I have updated my Camera RAW to 6.7 but it still does not open.  I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.  Is there anything else I can do or another update out there?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Elements 10 ships with Camera Raw 6.4.1 and is compatible up to Camera Raw 6.7. Nothing after that.
    The D700 requires Camera Raw 5.1 or later so Elements 10 can read those Raw files.
    The D4S requires Camera Raw 8.4 or later so Elements 10 will never be able to read those Raw files.
    Your choices are to convert the D4S Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10. Or upgrade to Elements 12.
    I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.
    Where did you get that information from? What kind of data do you lose?

  • Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

    Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop.  Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop.  Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor.  This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

    Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

    Have you closed and restarted Lightroom since you checked that box?

  • D800 raw won't open in CS6, Camera Raw 7.1

    My nikon d800 raw files are visable through Adobe Bridge, but only as a Raw Icon, it does not show the image. When I right click on it to open in Camera Raw, I get a message that says "Camera Raw cannot open this file. If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw Update...".
    I am a bit confused because I am using the latest Photoshop CS6 (subscription), updated to Camera Raw 7.1

    The files are likely corrupted, then, either by your camera or computer hardware, or by software you are running on your computer.   Posting a file online, or sending it to an e-mail address of an interested user after private-messaging them would help determine if your Adobe software is confused or if the files are corrupt.  Do you have any other way to view the files outside of Adobe software, a Nikon-licensed  viewer, perhaps, not the previews that many programs know how to look at, but the raw-data, itself.
    Did you use Nikon Transfer to move the files to your computer?  If so, it is an obsolete program that Nikon has advised people not to use because it corrupts the metadata in Nikon raw files of the newest cameras so that Adobe doesn’t recognize them. 
    A couple more suggestions for self-diagnosing what might be wrong:
    1)      Copy the files from a card-reader to your hard-drive using your operating system utilities (Windows Explorer or Finder), and then try to open in Photoshop, directly, (using File / Open) to minimize the number of things that have touched the files between when the camera wrote them to the card and Adobe software tried to interpret them.
    2)      Download a D800 raw file from a separate source and see if that file works.  This will help narrow down if it is something about your camera or memory card or cable or reader or transfer process or if it is a misconfiguration of Adobe Photoshop.  Here is a sample D800 RAW file from DPReview:  http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/nikon_d800/DSC_0241.NEF.zip  from this page:  http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d800-d800e/33
    I can verify that the DSC_0241.NEF file downloaded from DPReview opens in PS-CS6/ACR7.1 and the thumbnail is visible in Bridge.

  • Cs3 won't open my nikon D5100 NEF files. help please

    I'm using Mac and running 10.10.1. i could never update camera raw and i'm not sure what's going on.
    all input greatly appreciated. thank you

    The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

  • D600 .NEF files won't open in CS5 Camera Raw?

    .NEF files taken on my new Nikon D600 won't open in CS5 Bridge Camera Raw.
    Error Message:   The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in did not recognise the format of one or more files."
    .NEF files taken with the Nikon D90 are opening perfectly.
    There must be plug-ins available - I just can't seem to find them. Can someone send a link please?

    URGENT help please - I have a whole wedding to edit!

    D600 raw files only open in CS6/ACR7.3.  You need to upgrade your Photoshop.   http://www.adobe.com/photoshop/
    An alternative is to use the free DNG Converter to convert your NEFs to DNGs and those will open in older ACR versions.  Another alternative is to get Lightroom 4.3.

  • Why won't camera raw v4.6.0 open a Nikon D3s raw file?

    I have a new-used Nikon D3s and Photoshop CS3 extended. I am using plug in camera raw version 4.6.0. I can see the raw file in bridge. When I double click the thumbnail photo it goes to a window in Ps that says, "Could not complete your request becasue it is not the right kind of document."
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    You should know that the rendering, capabilities and performance of the current 7.x and 8.x versions of ACR are so far superior to their predecessors, that you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you choose not to upgrade.
    Some of us even found ourselves re-converting and re-editing some of our raw files that had been edited in previous versions of ACR, and even re-considering working on some that we had rejected because we deemed the dynamic range to be too extreme to render adequately.
    Incidentally, what Bridge is showing you is the JPEG preview embedded in the raw file by the camera, not an ACR-rendition of the raw NEF file, so that has nothing to do  with what the image will look like in ACR one converted.

  • Can't open my Nikon D7100 raw files in Photoshop 9.0.3

    Cannot open my raw files (NEF) in Photoshop 9.0.3

    You need to upgrade to get camera support for your model.PSE9 is quite old. PSE13 is the latest version.Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Finder slow and unresponsive when viewing folders with my camera raw files in it!

    I don't know if this a recent thing but i've noticed that my mac runs terribly slowly whenever i manually import my photos off of a compactflash card out of my Nikon D3. It seems to be the .nef raw files that cause the issue.. i've had finder crash, and moving files take 30 seconds before it even starts copying.
    I presume its looking at generating previews of the files and getting locked.
    Having just brought a top of the range i7 macbook pro i was a little dismayed to have ti

    So a PDF file that you can view in Preview on your MBA causes your new MBP to lock up and/or slow down. Is this right? Also you say more or less narrowed down to PDFs with Preview but does the computer exhibit this behavior with other programs and if so under what conditions? And how much free hard drive space do you have?
    Viewing memory use in Mavericks is different than with previous versions of the OS. Today it looks like we need to pay attention to what Apple calls Memory Pressure which is gauged by the bar graph in Activity Monitor and to the Virtual Memory being used. When the memory pressure graph bar gets too high it turns red and that's bad news. Looking at how much memory is being used doesn't help - I have a 16GB computer and with almost nothing running it still shows something like 15.79GB used but the memory pressure graph is just a think green line. So unless you see the memory pressure bar turning red lets not worry about memory usage at the moment.
    If among the things AppleCare had you do was reinstall Mavericks then I recommend a trip to the Apple store - and take a problem PDF file with you to demonstrate.

  • Error opening New Nikon D300 RAW files on Iphoto and Preview

    hi,
    I've a new Nikon D300 and I've had problems when i try to import the RAW (.NEF) photos to my iphoto... it says that the file is unreadable either on Iphoto or Preview or even on Apple Aperture. How can i solve this problem? is there any update that i can do for that or Apple didn't upgrade the iPhoto yet? I l know the camera can take 14-bit Raw format photos but i'm not sure if it is taking them in 12-bit because it can take both. I have a Nikon D200 too and i've never had any problem uploading my Raw photos to iphoto. the only program that opens the photos yet is Photoshop CS3.
    hope, someone can help me.
    Many Thanks:
    Gonçalo Rendeiro

    hope this 10.5.2 solved the problem

  • My Photoshop CS3 Nikon D3200 raw files

    Hi! My Photoshop CS3 is not opening my Nikon D3200 raw files. What I have to do?

    You will never be able to open those files directly in CS3.  There will be no more updates for that old version.
    That camera was first supported in ACR 7.1, which needs at least Photoshop CS6 to run.
    Look for, download, install and run the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.5 on the folder(s) containing your raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs which you can run on your current version of Photoshop.

    I have a PC running Windows XP (yes an antique) with CS3 Photoshop and InDesign and lightroom 2 (yes all antiques). I have acquired a PC running Windows 7 with no programs. I also have a MacBook pro  with full CS5 suite. The programs were already loaded with I got it as a gift. Question 1. If I find serial numbers used to download programs to the old PC, can those CS3 programs be put on the newer PC. Question 2. I really want to put CS5 suite on PC machines. Is that possible? Especially since my MacBook is showing some hard drive problems.

    You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Downloading the programs does not require a serial number.  You can find them here:  Download CS3 products  but you will need the serial number to activate the programs.  You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
    You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version.  Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)
