Opening RAW photos in PSE 8

I have recently bought PSE 8. When I had my Canon 350D I could use it to edit RAW photos. I have just bought a Canon 550D and PSE 8 cant open any RAW photos now for editing.

I went to the Adobe site and from new downloads found the Camera
Raw 5.7 update for windows. Here is link
to the pdf instructions
http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
I created a new folder on desktop and moved the current Camera Raw.8bi file to that folder. then copied the new file in its place. opened elements and bingo it worked perfect.

    you are not doing anything wrong but it looks like the editor preference file is corrupted.  You can recreate the settings by doing this:
    1) Close everything on your computer that is open and launch PSE to go to the welcome screen like this:
    2) Now before clicking on anything, press:
    CTRL+ALT+SHIFT with one hand (left hand) and keep it pressed while also clicking on the editor icon (with your other hand on the left mouse click) shown in red box in the above picture .  Keep it pressed until you see another window like this:
    When you get this window, just click on Yes button and hopefully it should correct itself.
    good luck and post back.

  • Can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. is there a solution?

    i'm using a Nikon D3300 and can't open RAW photos on elements 10 using windows XP. none of the plugins i've tried worked.
    please help.  i really don't want to have to buy a new version of elements or a new computer.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the Nikon D3300 requires camera raw 8.4 which is not compatible with PSE 10.
    Even worse, the DNG Converter 8.4 will not run on a XP or Vista comtuter.
    I don't know if the software that came with the D3300 will run on the XP system but if it does, your only option would be to use it to convert the NEF files to TIF files and then PSE 10 will be able to use the TIF files.
    I think that you really need to think about upgrading your system sooner than later.

  • I can't open RAW photos (new canon eos 5.1) in bridge (cs5.1)- just get the logo

    Why can't I can't open RAW photos (from an new canon eos 5.1) in Bridge (cs 5.1)- just get the logo, no thumbnail, works in Finder.

    Ah ha!
    At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
    Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
    I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
    If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
    Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

  • I cant open raw photos in cs4

    i cant open raw photos in cs4 with the canon 5d mark 3 the plug in doesnt work

    The Canon 5D Mark 3 requires Camera Raw 7.1 or higher.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to 5.7
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    To open Raw 5D Mk 3 photos you'll have to either:
    a) upgrade to CS6, or
    b) join the Adobe Cloud and get CS6
    Alternatively, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/12/camera-raw-7-3-and-dng-converter-7-3-now-a vailable.html
    Convert all the Raw images to DNG then edit the DNGs in CS4.

  • Cant Open Raw Photos

    I have a new Cannon 70D camera.  I shot RAW photos this past weekend and downloaded the photos to my computer.  I try to open them in Photoshop Elements 10 and I get a message that they are in the wrong format.  My photos have .CR2 on them.  Got any ideas?  Does this new camera require a upgrade in Photoshop?  What could be wrong?

    Most probably you will require a new PSE to edit these photos directly but you don't have to because there are various ways to get this going:
    1) First make sure that your PSE is up to date by going to:
    Help >> Upgrades
    2) Next download DNG convertor from Adobe website. For windows the link is here:
    <https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5694&fileID=5707>
    3) To use the DNG convertor, you can view this video:

    This should almost take care of your requirements.

  • ?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

  • Help opening raw files in PSE 13

    Hello,
    I upgraded PSE 13 from PSE 9. I was using PSE 9 with my Nikon 600 (because I couldn't open the 600 raw files in PSE 9) by using the Adobe DNG converter. This was working fine. Since upgrading I can't open any Nikon 600 raw files in PSE 13 nor can I open the converted DNG files. It only recognizes jpeg files. The "Open in Camera Raw" option in the File drop down menu is also grayed out and can't be selected. I've tried the "updates" option from the Help menu and ran the updates, shut down PSE13 and also shut down computer and it still isn't working.  Wondering if I need to download a new ACR but can't find any that support the Nikon 600. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you for your help.
    When I do the "Help" drop down menu there isn't an option for "adobe plug-in" just "about plug-in" which doesn't list any options that seem to help when clicking on and none that say Camera raw.
    I read the manual instructions for downloading and am currently downloading the zip file; it is about 70% done. Will this help?
    This is what I'm referencing:
    These instructions were originally written to install ACR 8.2 for PSE11, but have been updated to install ACR 8.3 with PSE12.  While ACR 8.3 RC would work with PSE11, ACR 8.3 final will not.  Only PSE12 will host ACR 8.3.
    ACR 8.3 will work with PSE12 to open 70D files, but on an older Windows OS like Vista or XP  there is no compatible installer, so a manual install is the only option.  I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
    I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE12 by doing the following:
    Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog - in the future this link will likely contain links to only newer versions of ACR but the process would be similar:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
    Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
    Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928. 
    (Note that for future versions of PS and ACR the folder name will be different at the end, but the general format shold be similiar, and the important thing is that this is the folder without x64 in the path, because at this point PSE is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.  At some point in the future, PSExx may be 64-bit and the approporiate file or files could be the 64-bit version for the 64-bit version of PSE.  This zip file is for Photoshop which has both 32-bit and 64-bit versions so there are both versions of the plug-in as well.)
    Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
    Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003.  This is the largest or perhaps only file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
    Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE12 camera raw plug-in folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats
    Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw_8bi_80 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
    Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
    After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE12 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

  • Problems opening raw files in pse 8, using a canon 7D

    Hi I am having trouble opening cr2 files in pse 8 using a canon 7D, it keeps giving me a error msg, "saying it can't read file" it open them fine from my 1000D same format etc. Has anyone got a solution?
    Tahnks R.

    Most likely you need to update your camera raw plugin to version 6.2
    windows:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4807
    mac (6.2 only works in the elements editor and not bridge, 5.7 for bridge)

  • Opening RAW photo in editor - cannot add a layer or make adjustments.

    Greetings - I have recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 13. I have a Nikon and I am shooting in RAW. Recently I have found that when I open a photo in the Editor - the vast majority of actions are grayed out. I cannot add a layer - or make other adjustments to the photo. I am opening the photo - it opens in ACR - and then I click on Open button. This is where the trouble is. I have checked the photo bin and in other areas of my computer and the photo is not open in another area. Please see the screen shot of the editor with the photo - I have tried several photos opening them directly from my computer and from the organizer and I am getting the same issue.  I do hope you can help -

    You will be using a 16 bit image and need to change to 8 bits.
    You can do that in the camera raw dialog before sending the image into the regular editor. There is a dropdown menu to the left of the Open Image button. Or you can do it inside the regular editor using the top menu:
    Image >> Mode >> 8 Bits/Channel

  • Can I transfer a Raw Photo to PSE 9 with a direct link and keep changes

    I have limited expertise in all of this stuff so please understand.
    I recently upgraded to PSE 9 because I bought the Nikon D7000.
    Unfortunately I have had nothing but nightmares with the upgrade.
    PSE has eliminated BRIDGE and I can no longer open a RAW file in PSE 9 from the camera.
    They have something called Organizer but the Adobe Forum is full of issues about it.
    I have found it useless and it may stem from both having a MAC and the D7000.
    *Here is my question :*
    I can use Nikon Transfer to Nikon View NX2 to open the RAW files.
    However if I make any changes in View they do not carry over to PSE and ACR (Adobe Camera RAW)
    AND
    I cannot find a way to have a direct link from View NX2 to PSE 9 and ACR.
    I have to drag and drop onto the desktop and then drag and drop into PSE / ACR.
    *If I purchase Aperture ($80.00) can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?*
    I hope I made my dilemma clear.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Your question pivots about several issues, each of which will bear on what you end up doing.
    Briefly, what you'll find is that Aperture does its own RAW conversion (and does it well). You can follow that with either of the following:
    - use PSE9 as an external editor, in which case Aperture creates a copy of the converted RAW file in either TIFF or PSD format (you choose), sends it to PSE9, and receives the changed file back. At this point you have two images in Aperture: your converted image (with Aperture adjustments, if added) and your externally-edited image. Note that your original RAW file is never changed, and remains available.
    - using Aperture, export a copy of your RAW original, and then open it in any program you want. In this case, that program will need to be (or include) a RAW converter. And Aperture will not track the file in any way at all once it is exported.
    ... can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and ...
    So that's "Yes" to the first part and ...
    ... and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?
    ... I'm not sure what you mean to specify in this part.

  • Opening RAW photos from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera

    I am trying to open without success RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera after downloading and installing Camera Raw 8.6.  What is my problem?

    Can you upload one of these raw files that don't work for you to a place like www.dropbox.com and post public download link to it?  Either something is wrong/different with the files from your camera or something is wrong with the software on your computer.  Being able to test a file on someone else's computer would help narrow down which.
    FWIW, I can open a sample FZ1000 rw2 file in PS-CC2014/ACR 8.6 from here:

  • How can I open RAW files with PSE 12 from Olympus o-md e-m 10?

    How cam I open RAW files ? I use PSE 12, the Olympus om-d em 10 and windows 7.

    Photoshop Elements 12 should be able to recognise raw files from the OM-D E-M10.
    Check which camera raw you currently have by loading the editor, going to the Help menu and selecting About plug-in -> Camera Raw
    If it not at version 8.5 then go to the Help menu and select Updates
