Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize RAW-files on MacBook

I recently installed photoshop CS 4 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Sony alpha 330 camera, and photshop doesn't recognize my RAW-files (ARW)
What do I have to download to get my photoshop working?

Are Photoshop and ACR fully updated?
It seems support for RAW from Sony A330 was added with ACR 5.4.

Have you tried downloading the free DNG Converter and processing the images with that yet?

My photoshop CS3 doesn't recognize raw files anymore.

I have an iMac G5 with Photoshop CS3 installed on it. I decided to install on this iMac my husband's French version of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. It turned my Photoshop CS3 (English) to Photoshop Extended CS3 in French.
I tried reinstalling my Photoshop CS3 in English but to no avail. This brought no change. Photoshop is still in French.
Then I realized, when I use this Photoshop CS3 Extended version in French, that I cannot open raw files on it. It either tells me it doesn't recognize this type of files or it does open it and it looks all grey.
Please, I need help. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much to whomever will rescue me!!

How would I update the camera raw pluggin? Mine is 4.0.
Thanks!

How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize camera raw plugin on yosemite

Hi there,
I've been using Photoshop CS4 with the camera raw plugin for many years without issue. I recently got a new computer with Yosemite and when I installed PsCS4 it no longer worked with RAW files (5D mkii). I just tried downloading the newest version of the camera raw plugin, but Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it. What can I do?

The “latest version of camera raw” would be ACR 8.7.1 and that is only compatible with PS-CS6 or newer.
PS-CS4 would probably install with ACR 5.0 but the 5D Mark II needs at least ACR 5.2. The latest version of ACR you can install for PS-CS4 is ACR 5.7 which may be what you had on your old computer.
The usual way to update your Camera Raw plug-in would be to do PS / Help / Updates and let it check to see what is available, so try that.
I am not sure if that process still works, but you’re in luck because Adobe was still putting links to their installers on the website back in the CS4 era, so you should be able to download an installer and run it to get ACR 5.7 installed, from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
It’s possible that something in the newest OS will prevent this installer from working, of course, but at least try.
You can check what version of the ACR plug-in you have installed by doing PS / About Plug-in / Camera Raw

Photoshop CS4 won't open RAW files

Photoshop CS4 will not open RAW (.CR2) files. I have tried what is listed on Adobe's website (checking versions, uninstalling, reinstalling). Nothing has worked. It still gives me the error message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I am using CS4 on a 10.6.6 Mac OS with a Canon Rebel XS. I currently have Camera Raw 5.7 installed.
Does anyone have any answers ?
Thank you,
Teresa

The CAT.CR2 file that was posted is from a 1000D that does not have sRAW capabilities. Comparing the ExifTool data and the camera specifications, there should have been a small-sized preview JPG image and a large-sized RAW image in the file, but the file was truncated after the top-left quadrant of RAW data was written:

Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4 on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

Hi
I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
any idea, please?
thanks

I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera
The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

PSE 10 doesn't recognize raw file

Have been using PSE 10 on a four year old Macbook pro with no problems. Opens RAW file with no problem. Just installed the same PSE 10 on a new iMac, and PSE 10 editor says it can't open file because it doesn't recognize the file. Any suggestions?

The canon 5d mkIII requires the 6.7 camera raw plugin and pse 10 does support the camera 6.7 plugin.
When you went to Help>Updates from within the pse 10 editor, was there an updated version of camera raw listed for installing?

Camera Raw doesn't recognize raw files of Panasonic's new Lumix FZ100.

I just bought Panasonic's new FZ100 camera only to find out that nothing in my Mac -- be it OSX, iPhoto, Preview or Adobe's Photoshop CS4 -- recognizes the pictures I take in RAW2 format. Does anyone else have this problem and when will Apple come out with a Camera Raw update that makes all its photo apps compatible with newer cameras? I asked Adobe the same question and was told to buy Photoshop CS5 for megabucks since they no longer update Camera Raw in older versions of Photoshop -- which I will not do.

There's typically a 4-5 month lag between the time a camera manufacturer releases a new model and when software vendors (such as Apple in this case) have the ability to view the RAW files.
RAW isn't a standard per se. It's more of a concept -- and every camera has it's own unique RAW format. The camera manufacturer's don't provide a any type of "RAW driver" to the software vendors. Companies like Apple & Adobe have to write their own and this takes a while to write, test, and integrate.
I think the Lumix FZ100 came out in August -- which means it's been 3-4 months by now and probably pretty close to RAW support showing up. You might have to sit tight for another month or maybe two, but probably not any longer than that.

Photoshop CS4 Doesn't Recognize Printer

Acer Laptop
Windows Vista
3 gb ram
160 gb hd
Printer - Canon Pixma Pro 9500
Problem-
I recently installed Photoshop CS4. I still have CS3 installed. When I go to print from CS4, it prompts me that there is no printer installed on my pc. (CS3 will still print without issues). I have downloaded and installed the latest and greatest drivers for my Canon Pixma Pro 9500. I have tried recreating the Photoshop preference file and still no good on either attempted solution. I even tried unistalling CS3 - no good.
How do I "convince" Photoshop CS4 that printer software and drivers exist on my pc?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using Production Premium CS4 for over a year now, and since July on my i7/12GB/GTX260/Win7 64-bit, and it's all been fine. Tonight I get the Premiere 4.2.1 patch, and all of a sudden, magically, Photoshop will NOT recognize my installed printers. I tried 64-bit, 32-bit, rebooting, reinstalling my printer (a standard Epson R380 that has worked consistently), and to no avail. Illustrator sees the printer, but not Photoshop, even though it has printed fine until tonight's "unrelated" Premiere patch.
Thus the woes of integrated suites.
I'll try the FAX thing.

DNG doesn't recognize raw files from my Nikon D800

When I open DNG (v 7.1.0.354) and go to the folder my raw files are in the files are "grayed out." The files came from a Nikon D800. I want to use the files in Photoshop 5 (v 12.0 x64.) The camera raw plug-in currently inside Photoshop 5 is v 6.0.0.205.
Advice ?

Your camera is on the list of supported cameras for the latest DNG converter. It is also on the list of supported cameras for Camera Raw 6.7, which was the last update for Photoshop CS5. I cannot confirm that support because I don't have a D800. Is the DNG converter that you have the release candidate or the beta version that was out at one time? You might check for the latest updates and see if that makes a difference. I would also recommend that you update to Camera Raw 6.7.

I updated to Lightroom 4.4, and it doesn't recognize RAW files from a Nikon D300s.

I updated Lightroom this past week to V.4.4. Now, I cannot import any photos because Lightroom does not recognize the RAW photos. Prior to the update, it recognized the files and imported photos without any problem. Now I'm dead in the water. Any advise as to how to fix this? Or revert back to a prior version of Lightroom?

Are you by any chance using Nikon Transfer to copy the files from your memory card to your computer? If so, that could be the problem because there is a known issue with Nikon Transfer making some small change to each file. If this isn't the problem, are you using LR to import directly from the camera or from the card via a card reader? That could be the issue. Try copying the files using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to a folder on your hard drive and then see if LR can import from there. That may help you narrow down the issue. I have a D300s and have not had this problem with LR 4.4.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:

Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

Photoshop now won't recognize dxo files!

Well, I fixed the Bridge problem (not showing RAW thumbnails), now, when I try to open a DXO file from Bridgem Photoshop doesn't recognize the file type. Any suggestions besides reinstalling my entire system?

CS5 doesn't recognize older files.

I have recently started upgrading our CS4 users to CS5 (Standard Suite). The first Windows user that I updated came to me witha weird issue.
When he navigates to a folder with the Photoshop files, the icon shows it as being an unrecognized file type. It won't open when you click on it either. He has to right click, and open as...Photoshop CS5 in order to open it. Even when he makes changes and saves it as new it still doesn't recognize the file.
I uninstalled CS4 from his machine, could that be causing this issue?
Thanks,

You *could* just reinstall the newer software...
