Need help installing camera raw 4.6

hi, i have cs3, vista, just bought a nikon d700 and can't open my pictures in adobe bridge anymore. I shoot in raw...i tried uploading the 4.6 update and am having a VERY difficult time, is anyone available to help me or walk me through steps....i've been struggling for a few hours....thanks!!!

The easiest way to install it should be to go to the Photoshop Help menu, select Updates, and follow the instructions in the dialog boxes. That will download and install it for you.
If you want to try to install it manually, follow these steps:
1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to:
(Please read directory carefully)
Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in,
Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
NOTE: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, follow the these steps:
1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in step 4 above.
2. Start Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.
Important: Purging the Central Cache deletes cached thumbnail information for all folders. It also deletes labels, ratings, and rotation settings for read-only files (for example, files on a CD or locked files) or file formats that don't have XMP support.

  • Need help installing Camera Raw Presets from DVD

    I got the NAPP Goodies DVD and I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets.  It says to put them into Library-Application Support-Adobe-CameraRaw-Settings...  When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folder in there is CameraProfiles.  I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one.  I updated CameraRaw and still no settings folder.  I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where.  I am using CS3 specifically Photoshop and Bridge. I do not have Lightroom.
    Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that? Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?
    Thanks for your help

    The correct location (on Mac–since you don't bother to spec your OS) is:
    User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings
    All user level stuff will always be in the User folder. Root level stuff goes in the root level/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw folder.

  • Need help installing camera raw plug-in for Photoshop CS6

    I have a Raw photo that won't open in my Photoshop CS6. The error message and online documentation say the same thing...They recommend going under Help > Updates and following the instructions. Problem is, "Updates" is not actually a choice under the Help menu.
    I tried downloading the file directly, but it doesn't launch and installer and I'm not sure what to do with the file.
    Any ideas? Where can I go or what can I do to get this plug-in installed?

  • Need help installing Camera Raw plug in

    I recently had to reinstall CS5 and now I can no longer convert my raw files to DNGs when I download through Bridge and I can not find the right plug in, all I get is the separate DNG converter. Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    Look at that offered download again.  Often, the ACR plug-in are bundled together in a single download,

  • What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

    What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

    The Camera Raw plugin is for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
    The functionality provided by Camera Raw is already built in to Lightroom.
    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 was first supported in Lightroom 4.2 so Lightroom 5 will be fine.

  • Need help updating Camera Raw for d600.

    I have PSE 11 and have turned off my firewalls and still cannot get a Camera Raw update newer than 7.1. I have a d600 and it wont work through that. I know it can be done since I wasnt having this problem before I had to restore my computer and reload my software. I have searched Adobe up and down and everything says to us Help>updates...but its not giving me the option to update. Can anyone help...or send me the file.
    Thanks, Katy

    Officially, you are not suppose to update your PSE11 and that is why Adobe is not allowing you to update the product by going to Help >> Updates.
    However, this does not mean you can't.  You can always update your product manually provided you have the basic knowledge of Windows file folders and how to rename, browse and delete old files.  Having said this, to update your PSE11 to the latest version of Camera Raw 8.3.0.141, you can do this:
    1) Download the update file from this link:
    <http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.3.52/setup.zip>
    2) Unzip the downloaded file to your desktop
    3) Browse the unzipped folder and double-click on the file called: "AdobePatchInstaller.exe".  You might get a prompt to close PSE11 if it is open, so close it and press "Continue" button.
    4) Wait for about a minute until PSE11 is updated.
    5) now launch PSE11 and from Photo Editor, go to Help >> About Plug In >> Camera Raw
    6) you should see something like in this picture:
    Good luck but post back if your system did not update automatically.  Windows XP, and Windows Vista does not update automatically using this method so there is another method you need to try.  Post back anyway to let us know.

  • Need help with Camera Raw Plug In! PLEASE!

    When trying to update the Camera Raw 6.7 update, I get error U44M2I218. I cannot open my RAW images to edit. Any ideas?

    What method are you using to update? Did you try a manual install?

  • How do I install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) in Elements 6 for a Mac?

    I need to install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) plug-in on Elements 6 for at Mac?  I'ved downloaded the plug-in but it does not seem to work.  I've got Elements 10 on my desktop Mac but I am using Elements 6 on an older iBook G4.  Any help will be appreciated.  thanks.

    For PSE 6, get the .plugin out of the download, then go to your hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe>plug-ins>file formats and remove the old plug-in, then put just the new .plugin file in there instead. Older versions of PSE can't update ACR from the help menu the way PSE 10 can.

  • I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it?

    I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it? The reason being in LR5 when I want to edit the images in Photoshop Layers, the message comes that I need to install Camera Raw 8.6 for compatibility.  Even
    After installing Camera Raw 8.6 I am unable to install the plugin in CS4. Please advice.

    Camera Raw 8.6 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC. There is no way for you to install it in Photoshop CS4.  The message you are receiving means that you need Camera Raw 8.6 to have full compatibility with Lightroom 5. But in that message you are given the option to edit a copy that includes the Lightroom adjustments. That is the option that you should use. Lightroom will create a copy (PSD or TIF, depending on your choice in Lightroom preferences) and will send that copy to Photoshop CS4. Then you can use Photoshop and all of its features to continue editing your image. When you close and save the image in Photoshop, it will appear in your Lightroom folder along with the original raw file.
    Another option you could use would be to use the free Adobe DNG converter to create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw files. Those DNG files would be compatible with the Photoshop that you have now. Your other option would be to upgrade your Photoshop.

  • NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

    NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
    I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets. 
    It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings... 
    When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles. 
    I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one. 
    I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder. 
    I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where. 
    I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS  10.7.3
    Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
    Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?  
    Thanks for your help

    Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release.  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
    Perhaps this answers question.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
    The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

  • Can't install Camera RAW 6.3 into Elements 9

    I have downloaded the installer for 6.3 but when I go to install it, I get this message. "Some updates failed to install."  When it tells me to fix the problems below, all it says is:  installation failed!
    I need this update in order to open RAW images from my Canon Powershot S95.
    I am working with Elements 9 on both an iMac running OS 10.6.8 and onto a new MacBook Pro.
    I have spent an hour reading everything I can and haven't been able to find any place to send this question to Adobe by email.  The phone system for help has more than a half-hour of wait time.
    Can someone figure out this problem?
    Cherie

    Thank you. I couldn't find the Mac update section at the Adobe site by 
    using the various search options.
    But,
    The new download 6.5 installed without trouble. However, the "open with" 
    command still prompted Elements to respond with an "Unrecognized file type" 
    error, even though Elements was not listed as the default application.
    Trying to open a nef file within Actrobat still showed the nef files grayed
    out as unopenable with the application.
    I tried to do the manual copying of the camera raw.plugin from the Assets 2
    folder as you suggested. H owever it does not appear to be used in the 
    newer version (6.5). Instead, there is a Profiles directory containing two 
    further directories: CameraProfiles and LensProfiles.
    The CameraProfiles folder contains a series of further folders for various 
    camera types, and each folder had a number of .dcp files. I can't find a
    "camera  raw.plugin" anywhere within Assets 2.
    So, in sum:
    1) The disk image Elements9CameraRaw-6.5-mul-AdobeUpdate downloaded from 
    Adobe installs correctly.
    2) The default program type for .nef files was changed to Elements
    3) Elements will not open a .nef file either from "open with" or within the
    application selecting open from the menu.
    Hoping you can help me work around this problem.
    Thank you.

    any help??
    thanks much

    I don't know what the origin of that message is, as I don't use Lightroom, but it could be just telling you that to get the best possible integrated raw file experience you need to have Photoshop CS5 to go along with the version of Lightroom you have.
    I don't know what kind of camera you're using, but it could be that installing the Camera Raw 5.7 update for CS4 might get rid of the message:
