Opening Files in CS5 Camera Raw

I am working on an iMac in CS5. After making adjustments in Camera Raw, neither the Option key north Shift key work so I can open a Copy image or Smart file which results in the original file being adjusted.  Did I change a setting indadvertedly?

I thought it was Shift to open an image as an object...  Maybe that differs Mac vs. PC, I don't know.
When you hold the keys down do the captions on the buttons change?  This is what I see on my PC (you may have to click the image below to see the animation):

  • CR2 Files Won't Open In Photoshop CS5 - Camera RAW Updates Won't Install...

    I've had to take some photo editing work home from the office and I need to open some CR2 (RAW) files on Photoshop CS5. When I drag the files into the program I get a notice that my Camera RAW does not support the files.
    I've tried downloading updates for Camera RAW, all the way back to 6.3 (I'm currently using 6.0), but when I go to install I keep getting the message "Some Updates Failed to Install" "Update is Not Applicapable".
    The photos were shot on a Canon 5D Mark II, not that it should make much of a difference. I'm wondering what's going wrong? I'm running OS 10.5.8 at home and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
    ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

  • Can´t open files directly in Camera Raw from Bridge.

    I get this message: "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
    It has been working before without problems. Bridge 6.0.1.6   OS X  10.10

    I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves.  RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
    If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
    The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
    To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab.  Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
    You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab.  Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure.  It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

  • How download cs5 Camera raw update and how make Photoshop the default in the Bridge "open" menu?

    Two problems  which have defeated me.
    First, I have a new Canon  EOS 500D  and need to download the  recent  (July  2010) CS5 Camera Raw update. However both of my computers freeze when I move from the Adobe Support web page to the Download web page.  Is this a known problem? What to do about it? I am using CS 5 on a Windows 2007 XP computer.
    Second, (probably related to the first)   opening a file in Photoshop is not listed among  Bridge's  "OPEN AS" options. Also,  the "OPEN"  Default is "PAINT". How do I set Photoshop as the "OPEN"  menu  default?
    Thanks for your suggestions. I am truly befuddled by these  issues.

    Sounds like something is really wrong with your computer, and it isn't clear what, but if you're just having issues getting to the download link for ACR:
    Here is the download page for ACR 6.1 update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4728
    Here is the download page for the CS5 12.0.1 update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4733
    If those links don't work, you can probably find the same updates on the FTP site, although some things here are more than a decade old:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/
    See if Bridge and ACR are any happier after installing these two updates.  Make sure you run them as Administrator.
    If those still don't work for you, try another browser, where Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome should all work.
    http://www.microsoft.com/ie
    http://www.firefox.com/
    http://www.google.com/chrome
    There are numerous other browsers, as well, but they probably won't work if the above three don't.
    Perhaps you either have a virus that you should scan for, or over-zealous internet-protection software that you could try disabling temporarily.
    My favorite free virus/malware scanner is from www.MalwareBytes.com
    The payfor version will automatically update itself and scan, but the free version works just as well except you have to manually update and scan.

    Hi,
    Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
    Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

  • I lose changes in the details when i open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?

    I lose changes that I made with the tools in the "Details" section, just right after I open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?   The changes that I made with the tools in the "Basic" section remain. 

    First, how and why are you using Camera Raw 7.0 with CS5? 
    ACR 7.x requires CS6 to run.
    Even if that's a typo in your post and you are running CS6 instead of CS5, no one should be running ACR 7.0, but ACR 8.4 —or at the very least 7.4.
    Once any given camera model is supported by a version of ACR, it will continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR.  Each update to ACR has unannounced, unheralded bug fixes and improvements.  Running 7.0 at this point is sheer madness.
    Please clarify.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.

    You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

  • Opening multiple RAW files in Adobe Camera RAW

    Former CS6 user. Now trying CC but can't find a way to select an open only the RAW files in ACR, in a folder that has both RAW and jpeg files. There are options for select certain types of files but RAW is not an option like it was in CS6. I need to be able to quickly open many RAW files in ACR without having to ctrl-click each RAW file to avoid opening the jpeg files.

    I have more than 100 files in a folder. Half are RAW and the other half are the matching jpeg files. It is too cumbersome to use the ctrl key and select each of the 100 RAW files. You can select certain kinds of files in a dropdown box titles ALL FORMATS but unfortunately RAW files are not one of the options. In PS6, RAW files was one of the choices. I could screen for RAW files and then see only RAW files in my folder. I could then select one file, hold the shift button down and select any number of RAW files at once. I do thousands of pictures and need fast options. If all else fails I could select and open the RAW files do Adobe Camera RAW through Adobe Bridge but that adds another step.
    So if anyone can figure out a faster way to open many RAW files at once in ACR, I would appreciate the help.

    I have downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the Sony a6000 camera.  However it is not opening the images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
    In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw.  What version does it say there?

  • How do I get a file BACK to camera raw in CS5?

    I worked on a file in camera raw, and accidentally pressed enter (well, I actually pressed it on purpose, thinking that would just accept the action I was working on), which sent the file to PS.  I wanted to continue working on the file in camera raw, but I can't figure out how to get the raw file back to camera raw.
    Help please.

    One way was given above.Other way --go to Bridge & right click thumbnail and clear Develop settings.That is it.
    Basically ,pl note that all changes made in Raw are stored in XMP file that is generated beside the original one.No Changes are made in Raw file.Open Bridge Keep track of one thumnail and delete its XMP file in explorer.The moment u delete the XMP file , ur thumbnail is restored to original. U have the same non-destuctive nature in Lightroom also but in a different fashion.Since ur question is basic now, U are going to enjoy RAW editing after going deep into it.Have a nice learning

  • How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

    I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7?  Thanks.

    Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.

    By accident I have some raw-files in iPhoto. I want to open them in PS camera raw. How do i do that?!

    Export them back out: File -> Export, and set the Kind to Original
    Or,
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

  • 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?

  • RAW Images Alter When Saved After Processing in CS5 Camera RAW?

    Hi,
    I am currently experiencing a problem in Photoshop CS5, where after processing a CR2 RAW image file in Camera RAW, whether I then decide to open the image straight into CS5, or save as a jpeg or tiff file, the image completely alters from what I was previously seeing in the Camera RAW window?
    The saved jpeg/tiff, or image now shown in CS5 is now very tinted, where objects that were perfectly white in the Camera RAW window are now a dirty yellow colour.
    I was just wondering if there was any advice any of you could give me as to what the problem might be?
    I have made sure that both CS5 and the Camera RAW window are both set to sRGB, but it has had no effect on the problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help
