.nef files no longer open in Photoshop CS3

Hi
I have Nikon D60 and recently started shooting in raw when I discovered that Photoshop allows you to then edit the files to a much greater extent before converting them to .jpg.
.nef files used to open automatically in Photoshop (in a separate window, seemingly a sort of add-on designed for raw files?). Now when I try, the software tells me that they are 'the wrong kind of document'.
What's changed / broken? Or have I suddenly forgotten a vital step....?
I've tried downloading a newer version of camera raw, to no avail...
Thanks for your help

The D60 was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw version 4.4.
Make sure you update your ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) plug-in to the latest (and last) version of that plug-in compatible with CS3, which is version 4.6.

File name after opening in Photoshop CS3

After adjusting an image in Lightroom 1.1, I open it, reflecting the Lightroom changes, in Photoshop CS3. When I'm done tweaking the image in Photoshop CS3, I save it as a PSD file. The problem: I find that two PSD files have been saved, one with the file name (as I intended) and one with the file name with "-Edit" appended to it (before the PSD extension). How can I avoid having the second file (with the "-Edit" appended) created and saved?
Thanks.
Harvey

The -edit file is the first file. That file is the method LR uses to send the image to CS3.

My D5200 NEF files do not open in Photoshop 14

I have Nikon D5200, and according to Adobe, its Raw NEF files should open in Camera Raw 7.3 or later. However I have Camera Raw 8 in my photoshop 14 and it still says cannot open files, and suggests me to upgrade the plugin.
However, when i try to upgrade, it says i have latest plugins installed, which is correct.
I also have installed DNG converter 8.3 but it is also not detecting any raw files.
Please help
Thank you

As Curt Y mentioned, either your ACR plugin is in the wrong location, or you have more than one ACR plugin for your version of Photoshop and they are conflicting.
With the DNG coverter, it is important to understand that DNG converters only works on folders that contain raw files.
Select the folder and then convert. This will convert all the raw files within the folder.
If you ry to use DNG converter to open the folder to select individual files this won't work.
Select the folder not the individual files.

Nikon NEF Files will not Open in Photoshop CS2

In OS Leopard w/Aperture 2, there was never a problem opening RAW .NEF Files.
Now with Snow Leopard and Aperture 3...I get a message that the format is unrecognizable.
My system and PS2 are fully updated to current versions.
Thank in advance for any help.

Ernie,
You are correct in the RAW decoding engine used in Camera Raw (would be version 3.x in the CS2).
As you know, Adobe Camera Raw is included with each new release of Photoshop since CS came about. However, they generally only update the current version of ACR for new camera models.
The work-around (Adobe solution) for using older versions of ACR / PS is to convert the RAW files to DNG files using their free Adobe DNG converter, which allows compatibility for newer camera models (same solution offered to many with new unsupported cameras in Aperture).
Not sure whether this is the problem for the OP though, as the opening sentence indicates successful use with AP2 and 10.5?
Note - not sure what Adobe will do overall with Lightroom updates as they have been offering those at the same time as the ACR updates. LR3 and CS5 should clear some of this up.

.nef files will not open in photoshop

From Lightroom 5.7.1, I can not open .nef files into photoshop. I get an error message: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched. Photoshop does launch and open but file does not.

Hi, I am currently experiencing the same issue as you, and its driving me crazy. I know how you feel.
All my images in LR are basically dead. I can see them, but I cant work on them. Its as though LR5 is dead on my PC.
I use NEF too, some of them have asked me to change the file extension to a DNG. I have yet to try it, coz for the past 2hr, I have failed to 'Back up' my da** LR catalog.
I wish that you solve your issue soon.

I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview

I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview since I installed Snow Leopard on my White MacBook. Whenever I double click a PSD file, it opens in Photoshop.
I used to force PSD files to be opened with Preview by "Get Info" (command + I ) and then Changing the option "open with" to Preview.
I also tried draggin the PSD file onto Preview, nothing happened.
Did Snow Leopard stop PSD support, or I'm missing something??

No, I can still open psd files in Preview, no problem, from both Preview's "Open" dialog and by drag 'n drop onto its icon. It opens simple psd files without error, files with an alpha channel may or may not open correctly, layers will display the topmost layer, if that layer has a mask it displays incorrectly. In short, nothing seems to have changed.

My NEF files used to open in camera raw 8.6 but now go straight to photoshop CS6? I don't have the option to edit them in camera raw? Help

My nef files used to open in camera raw 8.6. Now when I drag and drop they go straight to photoshop cs6. I don't have the option to edit them in the camera raw editor! Help!

Which operating system are you using?
What is your screen resolution set at?

Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
Turn off auto-update here:
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
They point to where the apps really are which is:
For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

NEF files don't open from LR5 to PS6

I have just installed LR5. When I try to open a NEF file with the "Edit in Photoshop" command nothing happens. When I click on a .PSD or a .JPG file in LR5 it will open it in PS6 just fine. It appears that LR 5 is not talking to PS6 with the NEF files. I have vesrion 8.1 of Adobe Camera Raw on LR5 and version 7.4 on PS6. For some reason when I installed DNG converter and ACR version 8.1 it did not come up in PS6. Does anyone have s suggestion for me.
I am useing a MAC with OSX 10.8.4
Thanks

You need to update ACR for PS CS6 to 8.1. The ACR inside LR is separate from PS's.

NEF files are not opening

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but my NEF files will not open in Bridge or ACR. If I click on the NEF icon that is shown in bridge it opens it in Photoshop but I cannot view the thumbnails in Bridge or use ACR with those files. Any suggestions?

If you used the installer, then you cannot possibly have the plug-in in the wrong place. Disregard the other poster's misdirection.
For the record, the correct path is as follows:
Command-Click on thumbnail to see full-size image in a new tab
What you need to do is Purge the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge: Tools > Cache > Purge Cache for folder "xxxyyyzzz" for the offending folder(s).
DO NOT use the global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences; it's broken.
Command-Click on thumbnail to see full-size image in a new tab

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Image processor: "No source files could be opened by Photoshop."

I am also getting a "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop" warning when trying to save jpegs of open images (opened from a PDF) using the image processor.
Here is what I'm doing:
1. Open multiple pages of a PDF into Photoshop
2. Run the Image Processor with settings:
- Use open images
- Save to "select folder location" (choose a valid location)
- Save as jpegs
3. Run
And it gives me the warning. How can the files not be opened by Photoshop. They already are?!?

JJ, thanks for the response, and my guess is you are correct. It would be nice if Adobe would change this. My whole intention of using the Image Processor in this case was to "batch save" all the open files. As far as I know, there isn't another way to do that without creating an action or other such nonsense. ; )
At any rate, thanks for your input and explanation. At this point, I suppose the issue is as good as solved.

I bought a Nikon D810 and the RAW files will not open in Photoshop 6. Can anyone help me?

You're welcome! It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
What counts is that you are back in business.

NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Barb

I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files / won't open jpg files because of "missing marker segment"

I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 2013 iMac with OSX version 10.9.2.
1) As of today, Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files. This has never happened before, and the files are coming from the same camera I've used for the past five years.
2) I receive the following message when I attempt to open a .jpg file "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
This is also the first time this has happened, and happens with EVERY .jpg file I attempt to open.
3) Both of these errors ONLY happen when I am opening files located on the work server. I hit COMMAND K to connect to serveral work servers -- my work space, shared collaboration folder, and an image archive that was recently moved. If I grab the file that I want and transfer it to my desktop, and open it with Photoshop from there, it works fine.
I have run all updates.
I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue (with regard to accessing the work servers) or a Photoshop issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Photoshop does "play nice" over networks, but seems to catch more OS and server bugs than other applications (mostly because we've added more error detection code over the years after dealing with many OS and server problems).
