Photoshop CS4 won't open Raw image
Not sure what happened, but when I edit a raw image, and push open Photoshop opens but does
not open the image. I just updated to 11.01, and updated camera raw to 5.6
I reinstalled Photoshop, and the updates and the same thing happens.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Okay this could be a tough one.
I don't use bridge in my normal work flow, I use ACDSee v3 for viewing my photos and graphic designs.
I am a wildlife photographer and have over 300 gigs of photos dating back to 2007.
I just installed a 2 terrabyte HD, and copied these files to this hard drive so that I have two hard drives with these files on them in case of a HD failure.
I opened a file in Camera Raw, edited it, and choose open. Photoshop opened and the would not open the file, and more or less freezes with still some capabilities in the menu. It won't close if you try and exit, and I need to use task manager to close Photoshop.
I then opened bridge, and purged the cache on that file, reopened the same Raw file CR2, edited it in ACR and then opened it in Photoshope and it opened.
I opened and closed files in a lot of older files and it worked fine. Is there a way to purge all the files, or is this not a good thing to do?
I take photos almost on a daily basis, so going through each folder would be a huge task.

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,
TeresaThe 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:

My cs4 won't open raw image from my Canon 5D II. What is the solution?
My CS4 opens raw images from my 40D with no problem. However, when I try to open raw images from my new 5D II, it says it is "not the right kind of document". Why is this? Aren't all RAW images the same? What is the difference between the RAW image in my 40D, and my 5D II? Is there a solution to this?
Please repost this in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Hello,
I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3Good news and bad news:
The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3. -

Raw files in CR2 format from my Canon EOS 5D MarkII
Applied the Camera Raw 6.6 update last night. There were no problems noted during the update. Did not realize until later that the files would not open any more - I was working with PSD files created several days before. I forwarded several crash reports to Apple after I force closed Photoshop several times. When I opened one of the three files Photoshop would not exactly freeze but the whole system became slow - the force-close menu took a while to display after I right-clicked the icon in the dock. If I dragged and dropped one of the three into the dock icon, Photoshop would open with usual audible disk sounds but the sounds stopped quickly and the program was frozen.
I recovered using suggestions from the forum, used Time Machine to return Photoshop, Bridge and the Adobe folder in the path /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ to the state before the update. The Camera Raw Plug-in is now at 6.5 and I can open RAW files again.

How do I get Photoshop elements 9 to open RAW images from my Canon g16?
How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?
Hi,
You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.

Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D
I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@. I've just purchased a Canon 70D. Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2. I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4. Is there some way I could preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?
You need to upgrade to PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I have been running the Master Suite CS4 collection and up until 2 weeks ago Photoshop was running fine. Now when I open it gives me the error message of the GPU enhancements needing enabled through the Preferences>Perfromance panel. When I go to open Preferences the system shuts down. Same thing if I bypass that and try to open an image. The image opens momentarily and then I get the "encountered error" shut down notification.
I have tried reinstalling and also holding down the Ctrl+Shft+Alt keys during start up to reset default preferences. Nothing is working and I need to use this program on a daily basis back and forth between InDesign. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance.Your system shuts down? You mean the whole computer?
In any case, it sounds as though you have a serious display driver problem. Visit the web site of the maker of your video card, and download and install the lastest display driver they offer for your hardware.
This gets more complicated with laptops; often you have to get display driver updates from the manufacturer of the computer.

Photoshop CS4 won't open Crashes immediately. Out of ideas
CS4, Windows 8.1
My graphics drivers are up to date. I've not installed any third party items for PS.
I've uninstalled, used clean script, reinstalled several times. ran the repair license (multiple times), changed flexnet licensing from manual to auto and back again during the many tries of repairing. Rolled back the date as Adobe mentions. Rebooted many times. Checked my fonts against the 'trouble list' though none have been installed in weeks. Deleted the preferences. Long list of things I have tried.
I'm out of ideas. Computer is about 6 weeks old. I installed it with no issues then. Program worked a few weeks. Yesterday I tried opening it and it crashes immediately. It opens enough that I can see the main screens then the error comes up. The only message is "adobe photoshop CS4 has stopped working" " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program......" No details are provided as to the issue. The only option is to close. I rebooted in safe mode and got the code of 148.3. Repairing the license with the adobe fix still doesn’t correct it.
Any ideas on what else to try?Crash logs.

PC 64Bit Photoshop 6 won't open an image
My Photoshop 6 (64bit) starts but will not open an image and just hangs, you can't even shut it down.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled (with all updates) Photoshop 6 completely and they same thing happens. Photoshop 32bit works perfectly so I know it isn't the computer. I have researched all possibilities online including some registry issues all with no luck, so hope there is an answer here, many thanks.
AlanRob,
Many thanks for your reply, I have tried all of the above alas without luck.
I have tried to load from Bridge via an image load and it just hangs as per all the other tries. I also have PS3 in Studio still on my machine, an upgrade to 5.1 and a now the new 6.1 (updated). It did work on purchase but has not worked for the last 2 weeks and I did not do any drastic alterations to my machine, other than Windows updates. I also have it loaded without issue on my 64bit Dell laptop for work at home, again without issue, so there is a glitch somewhere, which seems to be a setup issue on my particular machine, although I am surprised my uninstall/install didn't correct it. My gut feeling is that the fix will no doubt be some kind of registry fix, there will be an entry in there that either should or shouldn't be there.
I will try and find a cure, of course if anybody knows a fix to the issue, it would be very much appreciated and if I find a fix, I'll post it here.
Again, many thanks....

Adobe Photoshop CS4 won't open in Yosemite. Anything I can do about this?
After installing Yosemite I was told that in order "To open Adobe Photoshop CS4 you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
Unfortunately I was also told that I needed to upgrade to Java 8 update 25...which I did thinking it would also resolve the Photoshop issue.
Silly me!
It probably made things worse as far as the possibility of opening Photoshop CS4.
Now what do I do?
I don't want to go back to Java 6. Are there any other options?
Thanks.Thanks Rikk. Now the problem is installing legacy.
Every time I select the "install" option I get a blank screen.
I've been reading other posts about this and it may have something to do with Safari.
I'll try another browser and see what happens -
Making Photoshop default application to open RAW images
Situation:
I had to reload Photoshop to resolve some problems.
Problem:
Now, when I highlight a RAW file and then right click to open it, Photoshop does not appear after I click <Open with>. Other options appear, but Photoshop does not.
Although:
I can click <Other>, and with a few more clicks, open in Photoshop. Also, when I click <Get info> for a RAW file and the info window opens, I am able to change the opening application for that particular file to Photoshop.
The bigger problem:
While in the Info window, I have attempted to change "Open With" to Photoshop as default for all files ending with the RAW extension, but it does not take. "Not applicable" appears in the application window after I click <Continue>, which is the final step in making a specific application the default application to open the file type in question. "Read and Write" permissions are in place.
What I'd like to do:
Make Photoshop appear as the Default Application to open RAW files when I right click on the RAW file.
Please help.
Thank you.
Les
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)Quoted: Also, when I click <Get info> for a RAW file and the info window opens, I am able to change the opening application for that particular file to Photoshop.
When you have selected Photoshop there, then you have to press the button "Change All...". Now every RAW file will be opened in Photoshop.
If Photoshop has not been listed there you can go with the "Other..." option in the drop down menu and select Photoshop from the application folder.
Quoted: Make Photoshop appear as the Default Application to open RAW files when I right click on the RAW file.
You know you can also open file's just by clicking twice with the normal left mouse key? If you have set Photoshop as Default (like described above) then it will also open in Photoshop.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. (see button's above this message) -
I cannot get Photoshop CS4 Extended to open raw CR2 files from my Canon 5D MkIII. Adobe Bridge will not open a thumbnail, either. The same files open fine in Lightroom 5.6. I am working with Windows 7 Pro and Intel Core i7 on a Dell Vostro.
CS4 use an old version of ACR if your canon is a newer model you will have to download the ACR 8.6 and DNG Converter then create DNG files for your CR2 files and process the DNG with the CS 4 version of ACR.
Your other option is to subscribe to the cloud and use a newer Photoshop. $10 a month....
