Newbie with problems opening RAW files.

I am new to using RAW files. I started by following the instructions to download and install the new RAW plug-in for my CS2 version of photoshop. When I open CS2 and choose bridge, I can see the thumbnail of the NEF file, but when I right click to open, there is no option for me to open as RAW file. If I double left click to open it tells me it cannot open because it is the wrong type of file.
Photoshop CS2 Ver 9.0
Raw Plug-in Ver 3.7
Camera Nikon D5000

Unfortunately, ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 3.7 doesn't support RAW files from Nikon D5000.
Support for Nikon D5000 RAW was added in ACR 5.4. But, again, sorry to say you cannot install ACR5.4 for Photoshop CS2.
Your best bet is to try a DNG converter that you can find in your Nikon Camera Applications CD and convert your pictures.
You can also download ViewNX from here: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Imaging-Software/NVNX/ViewNX.html#tab-Pr oductDetail-ProductTabs-Overview

Problem opening Raw Files In PS Elements 10

Hi I just installed PS Elements 10 on a new laptop, I can not open my Raw files, no problem with the jpegs but can not open Raw, I use this software on my old laptop and desk top with no problem, Windows 7 is on all 3 computers, What do I need to do to fix this and be able to open the Raw. Also note I notice that I have a blue check mark on my jpeg files and I have a Red X on my Raw files which I never had on my other two computers.

You might try downloading the 6.7 update from here and installing that:

If that fails, what does the error message say?
(there should be some numbers in the failed message that represent an error code)

Problem opening RAW files in Elements 11

I have installed Photoshop Elements 11. When I try to open .NEF raw files they do not show in the File-Open dialog box. NEF is not shown as a option in the filetype drop down in File-Open.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
Is there something wrong with the installation or does it need a plugin?

OK, Adobe spent most of the day trying to fix this problem, and didn't. PSE11 was reinstalled and patches which weren't relevent were installed and failed. Although my PC meets all the spec for Photoshop Elements 11, it just will not show Camera Raw under Help....plug-ins, or show NEF files in File....Open, or the Camera Raw file extensions in the File ...Open...File Types. The guy gave up but didn't tell me that he would escalate although I tried to suggest it.
So, no Camera Raw for me I'm afraid nless I use my ancient slow laptop.
Does anyone have an email address for escalations n Adobe ?
Thanks for your help guys.

This is a Lightroom forum. Do you have LR, because that will open virtually any RAW file.

Problems opening raw files in pse 8, using a canon 7D

Most likely you need to update your camera raw plugin to version 6.2
windows:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4807
mac (6.2 only works in the elements editor and not bridge, 5.7 for bridge)

Problem Opening RAW files

I have Photshop CS6 Extended but when I click on the .cr2 which is the RAW file I keep getting an error message "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
Any suggestions?
I have tried installing the camera raw plugin
Photoshop Camera Raw 7.1
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7

You don't say what camera. I assume it's a new one that Camera Raw needs an update to recognize.
If Help - Updates fails to update Camera Raw, among all the other components, visit the appropriate link below and do a manual installation...

Newbie with problems opening an IPD file

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me asap please.........
I made a back up on my desktop manager in the usual way and everything was fine. I then went onto my PC to try and open the blackberry backup IPD file. I right clicked on the blackberry file and clicked....." open with" and stupidly clicked paint. Somehow this changed all my blackberry back up files to paint files.
All I desperately want to know is.........
When I right click on the blackberry file on my pc and open the properties tab, in the general section the type of file shows IPD file, but underneath it shows Opens with:   what should this show please?
I have tried making another backup but each time it saves it to my pc it shows as an IPD file opening with Paint!!!
Any ideas anyone??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you

You won't be able to show the content of an IPD file from your desktop directly. There is an application called ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter which can help you in getting the data. You can find the application from the below link -

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

Aperture wont open raw files from my panasonic fz18

Hi Everyone, I have been using aperture 3 for about a year and have no problems opening raw files from my nikon camera but I thought I would use my old panasonic FZ18 when I go kayaking just in case the camera gets wet. To my surprise when I downloaded my raw files into Aperture from my FZ18 they would not open. Is there a codec or program update that will enable Aperture to open my raw files.
Thanks Colin

The FZ18, FZ35 and later are not supported by Apple RAW processing mostly due to the exotic barrel distortion correction that needs to be applied for wide angle shots. Even Adobe DNG converter will not convert the .RW2 files to DNG unless you use dngsanitize to remove the lens correction metadata. You can then bring the DNG files into Aperture.

Issues opening RAW files with CS2...

I find if a bit complicated to open RAW files with Photoshop CS2 in iPhoto 08 (I'm using OS X 10.5). Currently the only way I've been able to do this is do a search for the file name in the finder, at the bottom of the Finder window, in the path, double click on the folder that the RAW files are in (user/my name/pictures/iphoto library/originals/2007/RAW files), then highlight the NEF files (the cameras a Nikon D200) I want to open, hit command/O then Photoshop CS2 opens the files in the RAW converter. If I try this from CS2 (command/O) the path goes as for as iphoto library (user/my name/pictures/iphoto library), at this point the iphoto library icon is ghosted out and can not be opened. If I drag and drop the image from iPhoto to the CS2 icon in the dock it opens as a jpg not the RAW file I need. If I try clicking my way to the folder from the left side of the finder, my name/pictures/iphoto library this is as far as I can go. There's something strange going on here. How can you go to a folder only one way and not the others? There seems to "hidden" folders now.
So... My question (finally), how can I simply open RAW files from iPhoto 08 in CS2?

In iPhoto's Advanced preferences select the checkbox under RAW Photos: "Use RAW when using external editor". That will open the Cr2 file in the raw editor. To get the edit to show in iPhoto you'll need to click on the Open Image button so the jpg version is created with the edits you made to the RAW file. Then when you save you'll need to navigate in the Save window to the Modified folder and save it into the folder representing the event that the original is in. It's not easy. I've not done much with RAW, just a few tests, so there may be an easier way to get iPhoto to recognize the edited version.
If you don't use the Open File and close iPhoto won't display the edits you made to the RAW file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Try installing it manually from:

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
