Open raw file in cs3

how do i open a raw file in cs3

As Mr. Kelly already mentioned, Raw support is version specific. Refer to this:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Unless you want to take the detour with the free DNG converter, you should seriously consider upgrading or getting Creative Cloud.

Cannot open raw files in CS3

I went through the steps of downlaoding the plugin and replacing it, but I still cannot open the files. Any other suggestions? I am trying to open a Canon CR2 file.

If your Cannon is a recent model you will need to download ACR 8.7 with the DNG converter and create DNG files for your Cannon CR2 Raw file for CS3 can only use ACR version 4.6. ACR support for Cannon cameras

Can't open RAW files in CS3 or Bridge

I am using PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4.10, one gig RAM, with an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX graphics card. Adobe Updated notified me the new Camera RAW plugin was available so I said yes to install it. The installer hung half way through and I had to force quit it. Since then I can't open RAW (Nikon NEF) files in Bridge or CS3. I get generic raw file thumbnails in Bridge and the error "Could Not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type" when trying to open one into ACR from Bridge or Photoshop. I tried d'loading the plug-in and manually putting it in the proper folder, still no good. I have reinstalled the program from the install disk, purged the main and folder cache in Bridge, deleted the PS preferences (command+alt+ shift when opening PS), repaired OS permissions, and the like, all to no avail. Photoshop or Bridge just don't see the plug-in when opening NEF files, though it does show in the "Bout P, which is in the proper place- root/library/application support/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats/camera RAW Plugin
How can I fix it?

Greetings! I am having the same problem.
I'm a graphic designer (not a photographer), working on Mac 10.4.11, CS3 (ps is 10.0.1, bridge is 2.1.1.9) with the latest ACR plug-in (4.3.1) and the latest DNG Converter. Our photo library is on a server, accessed by multiple computers.
We can preview .CR2 in Bridge, open .CR2 in PS.
6However, we cannot preview or open .CRW files. We have tested on three machines, all with the same problem. In the past (before CS3) we were able to open and process these files.
Tried opening .CR2 files in CS2 and couldn't. Couldn't open them with DNG Converter or Graphix Converter.
Have tried all the standards fixes:
1. Correctly updated the most recent Camera Raw plug-in, following Adobes very explicit instructions as to where the plug-in goes (checked it three times).
2. Removed a copy of the Camera Raw plugin from a secondary folder, hoping that might have caused conflict.
3. Reset my preferences in Photoshop and Bridge to default.
4. Purged the cache in Bridge (via TOOLS, not in preferences) and refreshed AND told Bridge to build new thumbnails/caches
5. Closed/reopened Bridge.
6. Repaired permissions
7. Restarted my computer
We are going to try to find a disc with original RAW photos that have never been placed on the server to see if it's a server issue. However I'm thinking that's not the problem.
Any ideas as to why we can no longer open these CRW files?
I have two problems I need to solve:
1. For future photoshoots: does turning OFF sRAW setting help prevent this problem?
2. Is there anyway to convert the .CR2 files without using Photoshop CS3/2 or DNG Converter? We're hoping to try to salvage the photos we have.
I did see Elev Man's comment about the problem being corrupt files...disk failure/problem fixed with Disk Warrior. I'll also check that out.
Thanks!

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

Can't open raw files from Nikon D4s in CS3

I recently purchased a Nikon D4s & can't open my RAW files in CS3 or Lightroom, do I need a Photoshop upgrade. I noticed the D4s has an minimum ACR plugin requirement of 8. Thanks Kate

I believe the D4s is a very new camera, and needs ACR 8.4 (the very latest version as I type this).

You can not access the NEF files directly with CS3, and will have to install the free DNG converter.

Couldn't open RAW files in Bridge Cs3

Hi,
the RAW files (CR2) cannot be opened/developed with using Bridge CS3. When I double click the file (CR2) in Bridge, it just gave this prompt in Photoshop, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I used to be able to open Raw files in my friend's G5 using Bridge. When I double click the file, it will automatically open the Canon Camera Raw with settings for me to adjust before I develop the picture. However when I tried on my own computer, it came out the prompt I mentioned above.
Please advise what is the problem with my Bridge. Do I need to reintall the whole of Adobe suite?
Thank you so much.

Brian
first check again the right location of (only one!) ACR plug in (see post 3 of this thread for details)
Then quit Bridge, in user library go to preferences and manual trash the plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge2.plist), restart again with option key and again reset prefs.
If this is still not working create a new user account and check if Bridge is working correctly in this new user, if so your user account is corrupt and you should do maintenance for the OS (Archive and install).
If still no luck go again to the user library/cache/Adobe/BridgeCS3/cache. This cache file can grow to the enormous portions, check the size and if you wish make a copy for back up. Then delete this whole cache file by dragging it to the trash. Again delete plist file and again restart option to refresh prefs. By deleting the cache file you will need to recache all your folders so it is a very hard way but it worked for me several times.

Opening RAW files in older CS3

I have an older version, PS3 Extended. I have always opened RAW files with no problem. Recently, a friend with a newer camera and newer version of PS gave me some RAW files to open, and my CS3 says "Could not complete your request because it's the wrong kind of document". I am wondering if the problem could be that I have an old version of PS? Thanks.

That's exactly the problem. It's all in the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
You need the DNG Converter to open a batch of newer raw files. If you need to do this regularly, you might need to think about upgrading or using Lightroom.

I opened RAW files from D800 accidentally in CS3 (on old laptop) and are unable to open them now CS6. How to open them?

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

CS3 - Cannot open RAW files

I am new to the forum. I just purchased a new PC w/Windows 7 (64 bit). CS3 was reinstalled on the new PC. Now I cannot open RAW files. The error message states "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document." Adobe tech support advised me that Adobe products currently do not support the 64 bit. I have no clue how to proceed. Help!!!!!

I, too, am new to this forum,
so please excuse me if this seems redundant. Last night I downloaded an
upgrade of CS3 onto my HP computer. It runs Windows 7.
I remembered that I had to download a new ACR software, after the RAW file would not open in CS3. I downloaded the software, extracted ACR, but it will not open. On top of that, Bridge is telling me that it may not be compatable with the OS of my HP.
Any help will be appreciated.

Having issues opening raw files from Canon 5D Mark iii in Photoshop CS5

I cannot open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop CS5. I get an error saying "
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
Documentation seems to be no help.
Any ideas?

Problem with opening raw image in CS3 extended

I just installed my CS3 Extened on my new Windows 8 Desktop and when I tried to open a Nikon raw image I get an error telling me it's the wrong type. How do I fix this ? It was working on my Windows 7 computer.

This just started when I installed the CS 3 Extended on my new Windows 8 computer. It only affects my ability to open Nikon D90 Raw files. Everything else (standard JPG) works fine. I also have NX Capture 2 from Nikon and it opens the RAW files fine. I also have Adobe elements 9 and it opens the same RAW files without any problems.
The same problem developed when I installed the CS 3 on my HP laptop last year. It still will not open raw files.
Thanks
Bill

PSCS3 10.0 Extended/Camera RAW 431 updted--can't open RAW files

Windows Vista 64 Ultimate
CS3 10 Extended
I manually installed the new RAW 431 update per instructions:
To install with Adobe Creative Suite 3 or Photoshop CS3:
1. Exit Photoshop CS3.
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
I might add too that in Vista 64 Ultimate OEM version the file location above is INCORRECT. In fact, the location doesn't exist.
The file is located in:
Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
I re-downloaded the file twice to make sure it wasn't corrupted and checked the file size on both versions, which was identical.
When I try to open any raw file, even those converted using the new DNG converter, I get the message "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Reinstalling Camera Raw 4.0 that shipped with CS3 solves the problem.
I've purged every cache Adobe and Bridge has with no solution.
[BTW, before I installed the 431 version of "Camera Raw.8bi" I renamed the original version "Camera Raw.8bi.BAK" and left it in the same directory. I reversed this method when going back to the original 4.0 version.]
Thanks for those who help.

Any ideas or do I need to move to another software to open my Canon files? Also, converting to DNG gives the same error message. 431 is not working on my system.
I'm not passing judgment here, but I need to get back to work on my Canon 1DS MKIII files, and Adobe isn't cutting the mustard any longer for us. If we can't get it working in the next day or two, I'll need suggestions on a RAW converter that will actually open RAW files.
