Nikon camera RAW will not open in PS CS3 on Win 8

I have photoshop CS3 extended ver 10 and Elements 6.  I installed both on a new PC with windows 8.  PS will not open my RAW files taken with my Nikon D40X although Elements will.  PS opens tiff and jpeg.  I went to Adobe updates and tried to install ACR 4.6 (Camera raw 8bi.)  The Error message for bothe the opening RAW files and installing the update is, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I uninstalled PS and Elements and reinstalled just PS.  Same problems. I transfer the RAW files from my camera to computer by copying them through a card reader. 
Thanks for any help.

PS and PSE each have a different place to put the  .8bi file, so manually do the updated according to the instructions for each product on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4040
Re-installing PS or PSE will revert the ACR plug-in for that software back to the oldest version that originally came with that version of software so you’ll need to update using the contents of the ZIP file, again.
You can do a Help / About Plug-in… / Camera Raw… in PSE and PS to see what version you have installed in each.  Plug-ins are scanned at startup, so you’ll want to restart each product after doing the manual install.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.
    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.
    In Photoshop, click Help > Updates to update Camera Raw.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Camera Raw will not open my Canon 7D MarkII raw files

    Hello! I recently got a Canon 7D Mark II for Christmas and took my first photo today. When I try to open my RAW file in photoshop it says it cannot open that file type, check to make sure  your updates are current. I did this and it says they are for both Bridge and Photoshop. I checked to make sure my camera is on the list for compatibility and it is. Do not know what else to do. I have a PC and Adobe Photoshop CS6. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    You need ACR 8.7.1 to support your 7D Mark II. Here is the link: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

  • Camera Raw Will Not Open .CR2 Photo Files

    I use Photoshop 7.0 with a Windows Vista operating system. Camera Raw in Elements will not recognize the Canon .CR2 Raw photo files that I download from my Canon 50D using a card reader. I even downloaded the new Camera Raw 5.1 from Adobe with the same results. Any ideas?

    Indeed, I stand corrected:
    Windows:
    Photoshop Elements 6.0 and 7.0: Camera Raw 5.x
    Photoshop Elements 5.0: Camera Raw 4.6
    Photoshop Elements 4.0: Camera Raw 3.7
    Photoshop Elements 3.0: Camera Raw 3.6
    Macintosh:
    Photoshop Elements 6.0: Camera Raw 5.x
    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6
    Photoshop Elements 3.0: Camera Raw 3.6
    (The following page can be confusing, with versions of ACR intermingling with versions of PSE, and different versions than the headings being listed.)

  • Camera Raw - will not open raw files from a supported camera

    does anyone know a solution for camera raw to recognize my raw files, I just upgraded to cs6 and it is a supported camera. I've updated and it still won't work any solutions?

    I should have asked which OS version do you have on the Mac?  The current ACR plug-in requires 10.7 or newer and if you’re still on 10.6.x then the updater might not do anything because your OS is too old.
    The first thing to try is Help / Updates and see if there is a newer version.
    If that doesn’t work, then you can manually install ACR 8.3, the last version compatible with OS X 10.6.x, from here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html
    And if your OS is new enough, then you can install whatever the latest version (currently ACR 8.7.1) from here:

  • RAW will not open in Bridge CS3

    I cannot open a RAW file in Bridge CS3--there is no "open RAW.." in the menus, the shortcuts do not work. I will only open RAWs in PSCS3. I have the Extended version.
    I have tried reseeting the settings in both Bridge and PS. Makes no difference.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Have you tried a completely clean install from scratch--OS + CS3?
    That will work for sure, but it means starting over with your computer OS install from scratch--a completely clean full format of your disk before starting.
    There is obviously something on there that conflicts with it now. The same thing happened to a guy I work with. He tried for two weeks. I had the same problem on one of my machines. I simply started from zero, and so did he. Works perfectly. On my other machine it went right on without a hitch along with the other twenty or so apps that were already on there! Go figure.
    Look at it this way, if you want ACR 4 in Bridge, starting over will probably take about one tenth the time you've spent trying to troubleshoot it!

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss. 

  • No matter what I try, Camera Raw will not update from 8.3 to 8.4.1 in PS CC

    I've tried completely uninstalling Bridge and Photoshop CC and reinstalling and I'm still on Camera Raw 8.3.
    It just will not update.
    I also tried the link to manually install and it just says the patch is not applicable.
    Any ideas why even after completely removing and reinstalling both Bridge and Photoshop my Camera Raw will not update?
    Thanks

    When I replied to your post, I was replying to an original post that came in via my e-mail today at 2:30 and was the most recent thing in the ACR forum and had remained unanswered for 1.5 hours, so I decided to reply.  Had your post been put in a forum I subscribed to and happen to notice days ago, then I might have seen it, then, but didn't see it until this afternoon, and the e-mail version of your post only had the scant initial information, not the subsequent question and answer about your OS that you'd replied to on the other forum.  So as you say, I had not read the thread, because it was on a forum I didn't subscribe to.  So be shocked and perhaps awed as is necessary.  My treat.
    Second, I did make a typo when I said Win8/8/8.1 and it should have been Win7/8/8.1, which might have been deduced by the repeated 8, so you could have asked for clarification.
    Seeing as you're on Windows 7 which ACR 8.4 should be compatible with, one minor detail is that I see in the compatible Lightroom 5.4 requirements that it needs Windows 7 Service Pack 1, which would mean you'd want to be caught up on your Windows Updates, which I would assume you'd be.
    There are direct links to ACR 8.4(.1) on Jeff Tranberry's blog that are distinct for PS-CS6 and PS-CC so maybe that is what isn't right?
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    You might check what version of PS-CC you have.  14.2.1 is the most current, and maybe that is prerequisite to ACR 8.4.1, I don't know. 
    If worse comes to worse, uninstall everything Adobe, then run the CS Cleaner then re-install CC Desktop and see what happens as you install PS-CC and it's updates.  It may need to be run several times.
    Once you're ready to retry your installs, you also might try to Quit CC Desktop and run it As Administrator in case there is a permissions issue.
    The CS Cleaner can be found, here:

  • My iPad camera iris will not open?

    My iPad camera iris will not open and camera will not function

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS4006 The camera shutter will not open and the camera screen is black front and rear ipod 4, tried force quit and reset, help?

    The camera shutter will not open sometime and the camera screen is black. It seems to open as if were switching to the rear but that also appears black? i have force quit the app and hard/soft reset, help?

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

    I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
    I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
    thank you

    From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

  • My ipad 2 camera shutter will not open

    Help!! My Ipad2 camera shutter will not open. What should i do???

    Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera app again.
    If that doesn't work ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
