Opening Raw Camera files

Question
Sinse Ive updated with Mavericks I've been having difficulties viewing raw camera files in Preview, memory usage is maxed out when trying to view my images.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions to fix this problem?
Thanks

Not I.  All three of my OS X 10.9 Macs work fine.

You may have had a bad download or install on your OS X 10.9 Upgrade.  Reinstall OS X Mavericks.
Immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall, use the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go Utilities folder to repair permissions.  Then check more than one RAW file in more than one user account to be certain your problem is not user specific.

  • Why can't I open RAW camera files with Photoshop 6 anymore??

    Attempted to open file, as I've done hundreds of times before. I get pop up window saying software can't open file. Nikon cameras used in my office are all supported.

    What cameras? What system? How are they transferred to the computer? Where are they stored? Did you change your camera settings recently? Manipulate the files in another program? There could be a million reasons...

  • How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

    I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
    I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
    Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
    Any guidance is much appreciated.
    AJ

    Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
    Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
    So you currently have 4 choices.
    1 upgrade Photoshop
    2 get Lightroom - latest version
    3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
    4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
    The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.

  • Can't open raw format files in photoshop elements 3.0

    I'm sure this question has been posed here 1,000 times already, and I've just spent over an hour surfing the web, using adobe on-line support, etc. -- too much to sift through, and none of it giving me a simple answer.
    So here's the question:
    - Using Windows XP
    - I have a Nikon D40
    - Photoshop Elements 3.0
    - 2.3 Camera Raw Plug In
    From what I am able to gather, I SHOULD be able to open raw format files using PE 3.0, but I get the various error messages:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    Am I missing some sort of simple step before I start downloading plug-ins I don't need and messing up all the settings on my computer? Any help would be appreciated, and once again, apologies if I'm repeating a question that's been asked a million times before.

    Support for the Nikon D40 was added in Camera Raw version 3.7. So you would need Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later to be able to use that.
    To use your version you may need to download the free DNG converter from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and convert your D40 files from NEF to DNG.

  • What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.

    What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.  My OS is OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I have recently bought a Canon 7D MkII and have found Adobe Lightroom does not as yet support the 7D MkII.  So I though Aperture may support the 7D MkII because Yosemite 10.10.1 now does.

    Hi Folk,
    I just found the answer to my question.  Yes it is supported with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  See the link below and the ***** Note at the bottom of the list.

  • ?unable to open raw photo file after downloading camera raw 7.4 update?

    Can anyone help please.
    I recently had my lap top wiped and have had to re load CS6.  I have also downloaded the camera raw 7.4 update (I use a Nikon D7100 camera) The update downloads without any problems, I go through download, install and then finish, but I still am unable to open my raw photos.  I get the following message...   'if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest raw camera update installed'.  I have no idea why it is doing this, or how to combat it.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    Gail

    Hi Benjamin,
    You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
    Many many thanks! Cheers

  • PSE 7.0 - Can't open RAW .CR2 files

    I know this question has been asked many times, and I'm not a novice user, but I can't get it to work.  Here are the details:
    Windows 7(x64)
    Photoshop Elements 7.0
    Camera Raw Plugin 5.6.0.148 (old camera raw .8bi file removed, I did not use the 64-bit version of the new Plugin)
    Camera:   Canon SX50HS (which is included in the list of supported cameras)
    Nothing I've tried has eliminated the "wrong type of file" message when trying to open .cr2 files.
    So, then I read that I should get the Adobe DNG converter (v7.2.0.46) and convert the files to DNG format.  OK, I got the converter but it doesn't recognize the .cr2 files in the folder in which they exist.  I read another post which indicated that the DNG converter only worked from the C:\ root directory.  So, I put one of the .cr2 files there, and used that as the folder to "select images to convert".  It began scanning my drive, and found all of the .tif files on the drive, but none of the .cr2 files.  It did not convert any of the .tif files.
    I am new to the use of RAW format images, but not to the concept of drivers, plugins, versions, and following installation instructions precisely and have years of professional experience in software (even more frustrating!).  It seems as if there could/should be a plugin update utility that prompts for the camera make/model, verifies that it is compatible, and installs the appropriate software.  I'm sure that the camera information is also embedded somewhere in the image file.
    Sorry to beat this poor horse any further, but any insights would be most welcome!

  • I get "program error" or "wrong kind of file" when attempting to open RAW (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D7100.  Works fine with Nikon D80.  What do I need to do?

    FYI, I am on Elements 9.0.forumnotifier

    Each time a new camera model is introduced the camera raw plugin has to be updated for its format. The D7100 requires ACR 7.4 which is not compatible with PSE 9. So you have three options:
    1. Upgrade PSE.
    2. Use the nikon software to convert your files and open the converted files into PSE for further editing.
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of ACR can understand.

  • Can't open RAW Nikon files (NEF) using PS3 10.0 running 10.6.8 , think there is a conflict with camera Raw plug-in. Can't open raw images in bridge or photoshop.

    I think I may have a Camera Raw plug-in conflict or plug in may be in the wrong place. In both PS3 and Bridge Nikon raw files (NEF) will not open. I've noticed that in photoshop in the pull down menu-about plug-in, I have 2 Camera Raw (s) listed, getting info one is 4.0, the other 4.6.0.30. It appears that my files and .xmp are 4.0 just by searching for 'Camera Raw' either 4. or 4.6 in spotlight. nothing is listed in spotlight under camera raw 4.6, but all my images are listed in the spotlight if I search for camera raw 4.0! I can not open either in Bridge or Photoshop CS3 I just receive the error message 'could not complete this request because photoshop does not reconize this type of file'. any help would this is greatfully appreciated. Thanks

    Well if you have a fairly new Nikon camera PS CS3 will not have the proper version of ACR to support that camera.
    You could use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNGs or you can update PS to a newer version that does have support for newer cameras or you could buy Adobe Lightroom V4 which also has support for the newer Nikon cameras.

  • Will Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or 8.7.1 work with Adobe Photoshop CS 5 version 12.1 x64 bit on a Mac OSX version 10.7.5 Lion.I am having differculty opening Raw RAF files on Camera Fuji X100s.Many thanks for your help out there.

    WILL  Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or Later version 8.7.1 work with Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 extended version 12.1 x 64 bit with a Mac OSX
    10.7.5 lion. I am having trouble opening RAF raw files on my newly acquired Fuji X100S camera.Many thanks

    With that version of Photoshop, the most recent version of Camera Raw you can use is 6.7. If updating your Photoshop or subscribing to the creative cloud is not an option then you could use the free DNG converter provided by Adobe. The latest version of the DNG converter is 8.7.1. I am not familiar with Mac operating systems, so I'm not certain if your OS is compatible with the latest version. You can download it and try.

  • Can i open raw cr2  files from my canon 70d in photoshop elements 12 as my elements9 wont?

    I am struggling to open photos from my canon 70d in  elements9 will elements12 open them?

    Yes, pse 12 will open the files from a canon 70D
    (after the camera raw plugin is updated using Help>Updates in the pse 12 editor)
    In the meantime, you can use the free adobe dng converter to convert your 70D files to dng copies, which pse 9 should then open.

  • Elements 6.0 won't open RAW *nef files from Nikon D40 - help!

    I tried to open *nef files from a D40.  Even though I selected RAW files in the open file menu, AE6 gives me an error message and won't open the files.
    How can I get these files to open with AE6?

    Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.  But according to this tech note:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    the D40 needs at least ACR 3.7.   PSE 6 ships with 4.2, so you should be able to open them.
    I suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this tech note, which will likely have you update your ACR:

  • Canon 5 d mark 2 - opening RAW/CR2 files with CS3???

    I have CS3 version 10.0.1 and Raw convertor 4.6 and a Canon 5 d mark 2
    I have downloaded the Camera RAW and DNG converter 5.2 and camera profiles but photoshop still will not open the files and Bridge just displays the RAW icon. Photoshop says it does not recognize this file format?
    Any other suggestions- I have downloaded it now a couple of times and tried to install- but no luck - it still does not recognize the 5 d mark 2 .CR2 files - HEELLPPPP!!

    >will I be able to edit them with Bridge?
    NEVER! But you can use Bridge to open your DNGs in Adobe Camera Raw. :)
    Bridge is just a file browser. It does not open, edit or save files of any kind. It just hands the files over to the appropriate application(s) to open them, like Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, Acrobat, even MS Word, etc.
