Nikon D300 Camera Raw 4.6 Question

Hello All,
I have Photoshop CS3 and am using a Nikon D300 camera. I've downloaded and installed the 4.6 version of the Camera Raw plug-in, but it doesn't seem to allow me to open my raw files in 16-bit; i.e., the only option is creating an 8-bit file. I just installed the DNG converter and took a shot at opening one of the DNG files, but, once again, the plug-in will only create an 8-bit version. Nikon's Capture NX seems to be the only way I can make my adjustments to my raw file and open the image in Photoshop as a 16-bit file.
Am I missing something here or are Camera Raw 4.6 and Photoshop CS3 limited in their ability to handle Nikon D300 raw files?
Thank you so much for your advice!
Liz

Please click on the workflow options text link (usually in blue) at the bottom of the CR dialog box. It says 8-bit down there. It will bring up a dialog box. You can then change the output bit depth to 16 bits.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop. Is there a fix? Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
What is your screen resolution?

+++ Adobe Camera Raw - Frequently Asked Questions +++

Q: Is my camera supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)?
A: Here is the list of cameras officially supported by the current version of Adobe Camera Raw and Digital Negative (DNG) converter. The page also provides links to the current version of ACR and DNG converter for both Mac and Windows.
Q: what version of Camera Raw should I install?
A: Photoshop CS6: see first question.
Photoshop CS5: Camera Raw 6.7 Win | Mac
Photoshop CS 4: Camera Raw 5.7 Win | Mac
Photoshop CS 3: Camera Raw 4.6 Win | Mac
Photoshop CS 2: Camera Raw 3.7 Win | Mac
Photoshop CS: Camera Raw 2.4 Win | Mac
For Photoshop Elements, Windows:
Photoshop Elements 10: (See first question)
Photoshop Elements 9: Camera Raw 6.5
Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
Photoshop Elements 7 and 6: Camera Raw 5.6
Photoshop Elements 5: Camera Raw 4.6
Photoshop Elements 4: Camera Raw 3.7
Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
For Photoshop Elements, Macintosh:
Photoshop Elements 10: (See first question)
Photoshop Elements 9: Camera Raw 6.5
Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
Photoshop Elements 6: Camera Raw 5.6
Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6 ( 4.1 under Mac OS 10.3)
Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
Q: What version of Camera Raw started to support my camera?
A: This page: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111 lists when support for the raw files of your camera was added in Camera Raw. If the version listed is higher than the one supported by your version of Camera Raw, you first need to convert the files to DNG using the latest version of the DNG converter in order to open them in Camera Raw.
Q: I do not have the latest version of Photoshop, how can I open the Raw files from my new camera?
A: Only the current version of Photoshop will receive ACR updates that add support for the latest cameras. However, you can download the latest version of the DNG converter, and use it to transform your raw files to the universal DNG format. Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS and all newer versions of Camera Raw compatible with your version of Photoshop will be able to open the DNG files. Photoshop 7 and ACR 1.0 do not support DNG, therefore you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
Q: When will the new update of Adobe Camera Raw be released?
A: Adobe cannot comment on unannounced products, however, it is expected that ACR and DNG converter will be simultaneously updated 3 or 4 times per year (i.e. every 3 or 4 months).
Q: What does "Unofficial Support" for a camera mean?
A: Unofficial support means that Adobe's Quality Engineering department has not tested the support to the degree that they want, and thus cannot guarantee the results. So we don't include the camera in our official lists, and don't provide any technical support. Unofficial support means "use at your own risk".
Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
A: For Photoshop CS customers, the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the Updates option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
Q: Why is the profile listed in the Calibration tab showing a version of Adobe Camera Raw that's older than I am using ?
A: What you are seeing is normal, and is due to the fact that the built-in profile for your particular camera model hasn't changed between that version of Adobe Camera Raw and the version you're using now. If you see the profile listed as "beta" then your camera has only unofficial support.
Q: Why is there more than one profile listed in the Calibration tab of Adobe Camera Raw?
A: The built-in profile for your particular camera model has changed since it was first supported. The profile shown by default identifies the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw in which the profile was updated. Other profiles in the drop-down list identify those included with earlier versions of Adobe Camera Raw, and are available in case you want to maintain compatibility with earlier versions.
Q: My camera is listed, but Photoshop cannot read its raw files.
A: Download and install the most recent update to Adobe Camera Raw.
Q: Where can I download the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw?
A: Adobe Camera Raw for: Macintosh and Windows
Q: I am trying to replace my existing ACR plug-in with a more recent version, but cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder. Where is it located now?
A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the correct location is:
Photoshop CS2
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\
Photoshop CS3
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
Note that "Common Files" is localized in non-english versions of Windows.
Q: Why do I only see a small generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files?
A: Bridge occasionally has difficulty with RAW files, but this is usually because the user has installed ACR into the wrong location or browsed the folder prior to installing the ACR plug-in that provides support for their particular camera model. The fix for this issue is usually to make absolutely sure that ACR is installed correctly, then purge the Bridge cache. If you're in the habit of using the Distributed cache (Bridge 1.x) it would be prudent to manually delete the cache files from the folder containing your RAW files.
Q: Whenever I open an image in Adobe Camera Raw a small explanation mark within a yellow triangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the image.
A: This symbol indicates that a high quality preview is being generated by Adobe Camera Raw. It should disappear after a couple of seconds.
Q: How do I turn off Auto Adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw 3.x?
A: Open Adobe Camera Raw. On the Mac press Cmd+U or on the PC Ctrl+U. This keystroke combination toggles Auto Adjustments On and Off. Alternatively, disable the Auto Adjustments setting from the fly-out menu adjacent to the Setting drop-down menu. If you want the default to be Off for Auto Adjustments simply choose "Save New Camera Raw Default" from the fly-out menu adjacent to the "Settings" drop-down menu then choose Done.
Q: What about Adobe Camera Raw 3.7 and newer versions?
A: Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments. One Auto control at the top of the panel now sets the Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to their auto values. The Default control at the top of the panel sets these same four sliders to their default values. The keyboard shortcut for the Auto control is CMD/CTRL-U.
The keyboard shortcut for the Default control is CMD/CTRL-R.
Double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its default value.
Shift double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its auto value.
Q: Why do I get the the following message: "Unable to create an .xmp sidecar file. The image settings will instead be stored in the Adobe Camera Raw database."
A: This message means that Adobe Camera Raw is unable to write to the XMP sidecar file. Either the media is read-only (e.g. a CD), or you don't have write access to the folder containing the image, or the existing XMP sidecar file is locked.
Q: I cannot see all the tools and buttons of Adobe Camera Raw.
A: Set your monitor resolution to the minimum required for Photoshop CS and higher, i.e. 1024x768.
Q: Where can I obtain a listing of Adobe Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts and modifiers?
A: On the Photoshop online help file.
Q: When I open my Nikon NEF files, all I see is the simple version of the raw dialog.
A: You are running Nikon's plug-in, not Adobe's. Delete from Photoshop's plug-in folder and all subfolders all copies of the "Nikon NEF plugin". Nikon automatically installs this plug-in in up to two places inside Photoshop's plug-in folder, and both must be deleted. Otherwise it overrides the Adobe plug-in. An alternative to the deletion is adding ~ in front of the Nikon plug-ins names.
Q: I installed the update. I can now open my raw files, but I still cannot see thumbnails in the file browser.
A: Purge the file browser cache for the problem folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for this folder.
Q: Is it better to resize my images in Camera Raw, or in Photoshop?
A: The resampling code is fairly similar to (but not exactly the same as) the "Bicubic Sharper" resampling in Photoshop CS and CS2. It does not make very much difference which stage you do the resampling in. The exception is non-square pixel cameras (Nikon D1x and Fuji S2 Pro), for which it is best to upsample one size step in Camera Raw if you need a larger image.
Q: What are raw images, and how do they differ from JPEG ones?
A: Read this whitepaper (1MB PDF) written by Bruce Fraser for a concise answer.

You can check compatibility yourself:
1. Go to this page to see the different releases: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
2. Navigate into the download link for the appropriate version of Camera Raw.
3. Follow the link to the ReadMe (e.g., http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf).
4. Look to see whether your camera is supported.
5. If your camera is NOT supported, you can use the free Adobe DNG converter to create .dng files that your Camera Raw will be able to open.
Photoshop CS6 is anticipated to be out in a few months, and Camera Raw is supposed to have a whole new approach, so a lot of us are excited about anticipating that.

CS2 and CR plug-in for Nikon D300 camera

Running Windows XP Pro and CS2. The Nikon D300 nef format is only available with a CR plug in that is incompatible with CS2. Do I have to upgrade to CS3 or CS4 in order to be able to access my D300 images in a card reader? Is there another way? Thanks.

You could try using the free Adobe DNG converter, the Nikon software that came with the camera or one of the many third party raw converters that are available

Camera Raw Plug-in Question

First off, please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I'm still learning my way around CS5 and Lightroom so please bear with me. So when selecting any of the "Edit-In" options in Lightroom (as in Panorama, HDR in Photoshop etc) I get an error message that reads as follows:
"This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw Plug-In version 6.4.1 for full compatibility"
However, everything is updated for Lightroom and CS5. My Camera Raw version is 6.4.1.145. I wasn't getting the error message before so I'm not sure what changed (I hadn't even closed the program when I started receiving the error message).
Do I just un-install and reinstall the Camera Raw Plug-In to fix? Any suggestions or insights? I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Boilerplate-text:
Have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

Camera Raw 6.2 Questions

I am currently using PSE8 for Mac with ACR 5.7. I have a couple of questions:
(1) Other than support for several other cameras, what changes/additions are there in the ACR 6.2 update?
(2) Have there been any glitches or incompatibility issues with updating to ACR 6.2 with PSE8?
Thank you for your help.

Forgive me if I am being a bit dense. After downloading the update, I open the disk image on my desktop. I double-click the Camera Profiles.mpkg & follow the install instructions (as per Adobe's instructions). Next, from the downloaded disk image, I drag the new Camera Raw plug-in into Applications>PSE8>Plug-Ins>File Formats & replace the old Camera Raw plug-in. However, when I open ACR, version 5.7 opens.
Thanks for your patience.
BTW, I did notice that, if I open PSE8 & click on the PSE pull-down menu>About Plug-Ins>Camera Raw, the plug-in is listed as 6.2. However, when I close out of this screen, PSE8 will unexpectedly crash. I don't know if this info might be of some help. Thanks again.

Nikon D800 Camera Raw and CS 5

I rently bought a Nikon D800 and my Photoshop CS 5 Extented (Education Edition) cannot view the files (not in PS nor in Bridge). Can you send me a link to a downloid that would make this possible? My Mac Operating system is OSX 10.5.8 and my Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is 6.0.0.205

There is no such thing. Support for specific cameras in ACR is version specific. There simply is no super-secret updtae for CS5 that would make it happen. You need to upgrade to CS6 or Creative Cloud. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the free DNG converter.

Nikon D3S Camera RAW for CS3

Just obtained a Nikon D3S and I am having difficulty finding the link to download Camera RAW into CS3

For CS3 I think Camera Raw 4 would be the relevant one and your camera does not seem to be on the list:

Nikon D750 camera raw update

I just downloaded the new test camera raw 8.7 but still can download my raw files from my d750?

Is it definitely installed? Ctrl-K in Camera Raw and read the version from the top of the pop-up box.
If so, maybe you're uploading with an old Nikon Transfer? You need to use a different downloader, or upgrade Nikon Transfer to the latest by updating View/CaptureNX.
(if you have a bunch of corrupted NEFs from using an old copy of Nikon Transfer, you can fix them with this: Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images)
Other than that, I'm clueless.

NIKON D4s camera raw plugin

When will the LR5 camera raw plugin for Nikon D4s be available?

There is no camera-raw plug-in for Lightroom. The camera raw engine is built-in.
If you are asking when will a LR be available that has the same camera raw engine as the ACR 8.4 plug-in, so you can use your new D4s with it, then the answer is that us outsiders don’t know and any insiders can’t say due to non-disclosure agreements.
I would guess Adobe put out the plug-in early so reviewers could use it and to solicit user feedback on the camera profiles.
If you want to give feedback then use the DNG Converter 8.4 RC to create DNGs from your NEFs and import those into a test catalog and see if the colors seem ok.
Keep your original raws, though, in case something changes in the processing between the DNGC release candidate and the final version.
The DNG Converter 8.4 RC is available at Adobe Labs:

Nikon D600 & Camera Raw Files

I have PSE11 and the latest Camera Raw files (v. 7.30) and still I can't open RAW/NEF files. The DNG Converter doesn't convert either.
What have I missed?
Any help greatfully received!
Cheers

Perhaps you are using Nikon Transfer v 1.x, which corrupts raw files of the newest Nikon cameras as far as Adobe software is concerned. You need to either not use Nikon Transfer at all or use V2.x that is part of ViewNX2.
A way to test whether it is your Adobe software or your camera’s files that are the problem, is to download a test D600 NEF from the internet and if it works, then it’s your camera’s images or the transfer to your computer, not Adobe software.
For example: http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/nikon_d600/DSC_4509_03.NEF.zip
From this page: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d600/21
You can fix NT1 corrupted files with the following utility:

Lighroom 4.4 and Nikon D4S camera raw support

I have Nikon D4S Raw Files and the latest version of Lightroom 4 (4.4). But the files are not recognized by lightroom. Do i have to update to lighroom 5.4? Or is there a way around?
By the way, i've just installed Adobe Camera Raw DNG Converter 8.5. Obviously the latest camera raw does not attach itself to lightroom...
Kind regards
Stefan

Do i have to update to lighroom 5.4?
Yes, if you want to open D4S Raw files in Lightroom since Raw support was first added in 5.4.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Or you can continue using the DNG converter.
Obviously the latest camera raw does not attach itself to lightroom...
Camera Raw is a Photoshop plug-in. Lightroom does not use Camera Raw as a plugin. The Camera Raw engine is built in to Lightroom's code.

Nikon D7200 Camera Raw Data plug-in..

Just bought Nikon D7200 yesterday and now find out that my Elements 12 software will not process my images because the Raw Data profile for the D7200 is not in the files...Anyone else hear of this or know how to get the plug-in update ?

We are just users like yourself, and have no insight as to what Adobe's plans are. It is likely that there will be an update that will include the D7200. It will be supported at some point. But it will be necessary to see how Camera Raw and updates transpire to know whether or not there will be an update for Photoshop Elements 13 that will support the camera..
Anyone who knows the answer is restricted by nondisclosure agreements. So it really is simply a wait and see situation.
