Parsing problem in Camera Raw

"Unable to save the raw conversion settings.  There was an error parsing the file."
This  error message has begun to appear frequently when after working on  old (3-4 yrs old) jpeg files.  No problem opening the files, but clicking "Done" brings up the error message (and, of course, the changes are not saved.)  Some files in a folder are fine; others  get this error.  I see no obvious difference between the files. I've tried making a duplicate of the file and working on that.  Sometimes that works, but usually not.
Is  there some way to fix this problem when it occurs?  I'd appreciate any  ideas.  (Using Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7.)

First, let me say that you might get more direct answers by posting into the Camera Raw forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw
They may ask you for a file with which to reproduce the problem.
Out of curiosity, did you open these JPEG files at some point in the past using an older version of Camera Raw?  Assuming you did, keep in mind that Camera Raw writes metadata back into JPEG files when you open them, even if you never direct the software to save back to the original JPEG file.  Put simply, an "original" JPEG file is no longer original after Camera Raw has been used on it.  Yes, it's hard to believe.
If I'm on the right track here, it sounds as though not only did it write data back into the file, but now perhaps the new version can't quite make sense of what the older version wrote.
I have an open thread in the Camera Raw forum in which I am requesting that this behavior (writing data back to the input file) be made optional.  Please feel free to add to it if that's what's happened to you.

    The file that you downloaded is a self-contained running application that installs the update on your computer. After you download that file, you need to double-click on it and follow the prompts to install it. After it has completed you will have Lightroom 4.4 installed and it will be ready to run. If you are on a Windows computer, the installation will replace your 4.1 installation. If you are on a Mac then you will have both versions installed and you will have to be sure you start the right one.

  • CS4 Extended problems installing Camera Raw 5.2

    I have a Photoshop CS4 not registered yet because I have to wait until my transfer of license paper is processed from adobe...now I'm standing in front of some HUGE problems so let me try to describe them...I'm using a CANON 5D MARK2 and the installed Adobe Camera Raw 5.0 cannot read my RAW files so I need to install Adobe Camera Raw 5.2 which I have to do manual...I did it like this:
    EXIT PHOTOSHOP CS4 and ADOBE BRIDGE
    I OPENED THE DOWNLOAD FILE
    THEN I SEE A WINDOW WITH 3 FILES CONTAINING WIN64-CAMERA RAW-CAMERA PROFILES
    I CLICK ON CAMERA PROFILES
    THEN POPS UP A DIALOG BOX SAYING SELECT A DESTINATION AND EXTRACT FILES
    I CLICK ON EXTRACT THEN POPS UP A NEW WINDOW OPEN FILE-SECURITY WARNING I RUN IT AND THEN POPS UP ANOTHER WINDOW WELCOME TO THE CAMERA PROFILES SETUP WIZARD I CLICK ON INSTALL AND THEN ALWAYS POPS UP A ERROR MESSAGE WINDOW SAYING:
    ERROR OPENING FILE FOR WRITING:
    C:PROGRAM DATA ADOBE CAMERA RAW CAMERA PROFILES ADOBE STANDARD CANON EOS 1000D ADOBE STANDARD.DCP
    CLICK ABORT TO STOP THE INSTALLATION so I HAVE TO ABORT IT
    and when I go to C-PROGRAM FILES-COMMON FILES-ADOBE-PLUG INS-CS4-FILE FORMATS and DOUBLE CLICK on CAMERA RAW CS4 opens with the ERROR MESSAGE COULD NOT COMPLETE YOUR REQUEST BECAUSE ITS NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF DOCUMENT....???
    I have absolutely no clue what this could be and I bet I did something wrong but have no idea what...after 3 days of stress pure I'm about to snap and throw this product out of my window-I'd more than appreciate suggestions/help so I can fix this problem!!
    THANK YOU
    MICHAEL STAMMBERGER

    thanks for the reply I have windows VISTA and yes
    installed is a 64bit version and the normal version-I cannot choice
    the updates option because I'm not registered yet.
    maybe it has to do with the 64bit version because I always uploaded it to the normal 32 bit version?

  • File Naming Problem in Camera Raw 5.4

    Am having a problem when processing Raw images in CS4 using Camera Raw 5.4
    After processing the image I click 'Save Image'.
    In the 'Save Options' box, under 'File Naming' I enter what I want to call the saved image.
    Eg.  'Hooded Top' becomes 'Hooded Top.jpg'
    The file is then saved onto the Desktop.
    Camera Raw seems to be 'stuck' on a previous file name. It will add the same previous file name to the end of the new image.
    You can see in the image that the text to the right of 'Example' also seems to be stuck between two lines of text.
    If I want to call an image 'Hooded Top' it will add an old name
    Eg. 'Hooded Top' will become 'Hooded TopTrack Pants.jpg'     (Track Pants being the previous image name)
    I have been using CS4 trial for a month with no problems. I have just upgraded to CS4 from CS3 today. The program was working fine all morning.
    I have re-installed CS4 and restarted my Mac Pro (OSX 10.5.8). I am using a Canon EOS 5D Mk2.
    Any thoughts appreciated.

    Look in Task Manager.
    One or both of them may be running under Processes.
    Use End Process.
    My advice is not to use the automatic startup for Bridge.

  • Problems with Camera Raw 6.7 after upgrading to OS 10.8

    I've been using Photoshop CS 5 with Camera Raw 6.7 on my MacBook Pro with no issues until I recently upgraded to OS 10.8. Now my Canon CR2 files (shot with a Canon G15) won't open.  Does anyone know of a solution or work-around for this problem? 

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • Problema Installazione Camera Raw e colori Lightroom 4?

    Salve a tutti. Sono italiano e non trovando un forum in italiano ho postato qui la domanda. Il mio problema è questo: ho una versione completa di Lightroom 4 e purtroppo quando carico i file RAW in formato RAF i colori sono sbiaditi e il programma mi "curva" la foto. Ora volevo scaricare Camera Raw perchè credevo che potesse risolvermi il problema. Però una volta scaricato e avviata l'installazione mi esce questo messaggio: Aggiornamento non riuscito. Questa patch non è applicabile ... . Potete aiutarmi per favore?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

  • Problem in Camera Raw 9.0 after Photoshop CC 2014 update

    Hi, after I install the new update to Phostoshop CC 2014, I can't see the picture when I open a RAW file in Camera Raw 9.0. It only shows a big blue box. Can someone please help me?

    Quick fix I found on another thread by fredforward until Adobe can fix the problem. Disable Graphic Processor for Camera Raw worked!

    Disable "Use Graphic Processor" under "Performance" at the bottom.

  • Problem with Camera Raw update

    Downloaded Camera Raw 6.2 update.  When attempting to install it I get a message saying I need a new copy of Adobe Application Manager. I can't find such a download anywhere on the site. A search turns up nothing called "Application Manager". Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Adobe Application Manager appears to be how Adobe checks serial number and manages free trial periods.  If you go to your boot drive and open Library > Application Support > Adobe > OOBE > PDApp > core you should find Adobe Application Manager.  If you have moved files, deleted files or whatever things might not be where they should.  I'd probably reinstall PS CS5 which should reinstall Application Manager if it's not there.

  • Problem with Camera Raw

    I am using Photoshop CS6 v 13.0.1 x64. I have been using Photoshop for years, of course various versions. All updates have been installed. My OS is Windows 7 Pro X64 with all applicable updates. I just downloaded NEF files from my D2X and was opening them in Camera Raw. I then selected similar NEFs and clicked Synchronmize but nothing happened. No error message, nothing! This never happened before. I have 24 G RAM, plenty of free space on the C drive (334Gs). I.have the OnOne plug in installed and may have added some free presets lately.
    I used to download pix from my cameras and never encountered this problem before.
    No changes were made to the system that I am aware of.
    What is going on? How do I fix this?

  • Problem Downloading Camera Raw plug-in

    I am trying to download the Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9.  Each time, the download finished unsuccessfully, so that when I try to unzip the folder, it says the folder is empty.  I also tried to update the software directly through Elements (selecting Updates under the Help menu), but I am unable to do this because "Updates" is disabled.  Is there something wrong with the webpage download link?  Why is Update disabled in my Elements help menu?

    I don't know how to update my question, but I think the download problem was due to my internet.  However, I still don't understand why Update is disabled in my Elements help menu?

  • Problema con camera raw en CC y OS Mavericks

    Hola
    Tengo un problema aleatorio pero persistente con el camera raw del photoshop CC en OS Mavericks.
    Consiste en que no se cargan los perfiles de lente, no se cargan los ajustes locales del pincel de ajuste, no puedo controlar la exposición ya que cuando modifico cualquier otro valor, la exposición se pone automaticamente al valor inferior mas cercano, por ejemplo si modifico la exposición en +0,5 quedará en 0, si es +1,5 quedara en +1 etc...
    En ocasiones el camera raw funciona bien, otras no, la verdad es que ultimamente casi siempre va mal.
    Reparando los permisos de disco no siempre se arregla. He desintalado el photoshop CC y lo he reinstalado y el problema persiste.
    Parece ser que hay algo que no se carga debidamente, pero no siempre.
    No soy experto en informatica y empiezo a estar un poco desesperado.
    Me gustaria saber si alguien ha tenido este problema y ha encontrado la solución.
    Gracias
