Opening camera raw file in elements

I am using photoshop elements 5.0 on windows vista. My problem is I am not able to transfer my raw files to the editor. The message I get is 'cannot open raw files/08...NEF because it is the wrong type of file' I am very much a newbie at this so any detailed help would be much appreciated

Janis,
You need to upgrade your ACR plug-in to version 4.5, which does work with Elements 5.0 according to this:

Follow the instructions on the download page to the letter.

  • Problems opening camera raw files.

    I have tried to open camera raw files (CR2 and RW2) and get an error message that PSE9 can't open this file because it is the wrong type of file. I had thought that PSE9 could open and process Camera Raw. Will appreciate your suggestion for resolving this issue. Thanks.
    Jack

    Try opening directly from the folder rather than from Organizer
    Right click on a file and choose Open With photoshop elements editor

  • 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.

  • Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

    Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

    If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
    Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

    Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.

    I'd really appreciate some simple 'idiot steps' that will enable me to open camera raw files (nefs) in CS6...
    you will have to assume that I am an idiot and know nothing about Macs (one of which is true, the other debateable!)

  • How to open D7000 RAW file in elements 9

    how to open D7000 Raw file in elements 9

    Barbara B.
    Your suggestion to try another file resolved the Converter  issue.  I found that I can open any jpg or tif file in any album that appears in the
    Windows Explorer.  So the problem was not with the RAW Converter.  Instead, I found another problem.  The ENTIRE Album
    containing the file I had been trying to open  is missing from the Windows Explorer (and I cannot open the file from the Album
    showing in the Organizer --  while I'm in the Editor!).
    So -- can you give me any help with this new problem of an Album that shows in the Organizer but not the Windows Explorer?

  • Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

    I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
    As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
    Best regards
    Daniel

    Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
    Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem

  • Opening Camera Raw Files from Nikon D700 to CS2

    Hi there!  I recently upgraded from the Nikon D200 to the D700.  I haven't managed to upgrade to CS5 though!  Can anyone help me, I'm trying to open my Camera Raw files in CS2, but I can't.  What version of the upgrade do I need for the Camera Raw and where do I find it!
    Many thanks!
    Carla

    The last version that is compatible with Photoshop CS2 is Camera Raw 3.7.  It is available from the download site.  If you are not going to upgrade your Photoshop then it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw files.  Then you will be able to open those DNG files in ACR 3.7.

  • Bridge CS6 insist to open Camera raw files via Photoshop CS6 instead of CC

    Hi
    I´ve trying to start using Photoshop CC instead of CS6. The problem is that my Bridge CS6 is opening Camera RAWs to Photoshop CS6 as a default instead of CC. I`ve changed Finder defaults and as well as Bridges own File type assosiations to use Photoshop CC as a default, but still it isnt working. I wouldnt want to delete Photoshop CS6 completely.
    Any help, anyone?

    Which version mac os x are you using?
    If it's mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard, then post back before installing bridge cc.
    I believe you need to install bridge cc so your camera raw files will open from the camera raw dialog in bridge cc to photoshop cc.
    Also of note is the camera raw version for bridge cs6 doesn't have any of the new features that the bridge cc version of camera raw has.
    If you open the the Creative Cloud Desktop.app, then you should see Bridge CC available for install.

  • Cannot Open a JPEG image as a Camera Raw file in Elements 5.0

    I tried opening a JPEG image, using "Open As" function into Camera Raw in Elements 5.0 Editor and I receive a "program error" message. How can I change settings or otherwise enable Elements 5.0 to open a JPEG into Camera Raw?

    The latest version of ACR which is compatibe with Elements 5 is ACR4.6. You can download it fromhttp://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4034&fileID=3758
    I think the Adobe site says 4.5 was the last forElements 5, but I know 4.6 works.  ACR5 needs Elements 7(or possibly 6). Good luck

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • Bridge does not open camera raw files

    I am having this issue with the bridge not opening cr2 files in acr. I have a new mac and installed CS6 with 7,4 acr. Has anyone come up with a solution to this bug?
    The error message is :
    camera raw editing is not enabled camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched once to enable this feature
    I really would prefer to not uninstall this product and it is not the case that I have another trial copy. I have searched my computer and cannot find any.
    Thanks for any new ideas on this bug.

    I noticed that there are still adobe folders for photoshop and premiere on the computer. Should I just delete those folders?
    Use Easy Find (Devon) and run Adobe in search field. From the list select the folders that you have doubt about and choose Show in finder option. Then look at the content. If it are custom settings like actions, tools, brushes best keep them save.
    But to be totally on the save side select all search result and copy them to a separate disk as Back Up so you can always find some lost customized settings back. All other deleted files should be reinstalled as per new install on new disk.
    I would like to get it right this time. I was also wondering if I can still download the dmg directly from adobe or is that not available anymore.
    If you have bought a download version of the Master Collection for CS6 then their should be a possibility to download it again using your Adobe ID. The new CC can be downloaded again using ACC.
    Otherwise you have to contact Adobe customer support for a new copy or download.
