Photoshop CS6 Camera raw crashes Windows 8

I have installed Windows 8 over the existing Windows 7 64 bit system, under which I have been using CS6 for several months now. I process all my pictures in Camera Raw first.
Today I just needed a simple crop, which I tried in Camera Raw. The screen turned black and the computer had crashed. I repeated that two times, reproducibly Windows 8 failed during the crop operation. During the last try, I just did distortion removal, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, clarity, but did no crop. That worked.

Do you see a crash report that you can post here for us?
Also, can you open a JPG directly in PS (Not using ACR), try to use the crop tool? See if this also crashes?

please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera
Thank you

Hi, rich_fred.
As the Canon G15 is a very new model, support is not yet available through Camera Raw. In the meantime, try out the software that came with you camera, to see if it can export a TIF or JPEG, which should open up in Photoshop just fine.
Hopefully support for the G15 will be available in the next Camera Raw update. You can find a list of supported cameras here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html

Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
Is this a feature or a bug?
Thank you

So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
Any other suggestions?

Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw 8.2 update fails

I am on OS X 10.8.4, Photoshop CS6, ACR 8.1.
The "A" icon on my menu bar shows 1 update available.
When I open the CC updater, it says Photoshop CS6 is up to date.
When I open Photoshop CS6 and go to Help/Updates, it shows "Photoshop Camera Raw 7 0.0KB". Note the 7 not 8.
When I click "Update", I get "Adobe Application Manager quit unexpectedly". Following are the first few lines of the dump. Is there a way to get past this?
Thanks for the help!

Thanks to Andrew_Hart for posting the direct download links to ACR 8.2. I direct downloaded and installed ACR 8.2 for CS6. That solved my problem.

Photoshop CS6/Camera RAW 8.8 Inconsistent Color Edits

I just updated my Windows Photoshop CS6 to 13.01x64 and my Camera Raw to 8.8.0.397. My issue since updating is when I open a RAW file and edit it in that window, when I click 'Open Image' and it converts it into the Photoshop window (to further edit), the colour is very different than it was in the RAW window. Below is an example where I went extreme to show the issue. The left is the RAW window and the right is when it converted to after I clicked 'Open Image'. It's much more muted and the colours are quite different. You can see the difference especially in his face. I'm beginning to feel desperate. Can anyone help?

I'm not seeing it with CC 2014.2.2 and ACR 8.8, but then again it's a different PS version and different RAW.
Maybe something happen with color settings in Photoshop?

Unable to open RAW files with Photoshop CS6 - Camera Raw

Hi all,
I'm trying to open .CR2 files from a Canon 450D on Photoshop CS6 as well as with Lightroom 4 but it doesn't work.
I've updated the Adobe Camera Raw to its latest edition (8.8), but anyway, when I try to open them it appears the message below: It basically says that photoshop is not able to open the file, make sure that you have installed the latest edition of Camera Raw and to visit the link for further info...
After looking for solutions on Internet, I've also tried to convert the RAW files into DNG, but Adobe DNG converter says that the folder does not contain any RAW file, though they are all .CR2 files...
I've tried several times in many ways... Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

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

Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw help

I just downloaded CS6. I can not open my camera raw files. It says that it is not supported. I looked for the plug-in update but can't find it

First make sure you have installed all the CS6 updates. CS6 was the buggiest release of Photoshop Adobe ever released. ACR the camera raw plugin was also updates several times since CS6 was released. Use Photoshop menu Help>Updates to make sure all CS6 updates have been installed.

I updated cs6 camera raw and now can't see the camera metadata I used to see and cannot find it in photoshop itself.

I updated cs6 camera raw and now can't see the camera metadata in raw that I used to and can't see it at all in photoshop. can this be fixed?

I have a Canon 5D Mk lll/Photoshop & Bridge CS6/Camera Raw 7.1 and I still can't open the CR2 files

I have a Canon 5D Mk lll/Photoshop & Bridge CS6/Camera Raw 7.1 and I still can't open the CR2 files on my Canon.
Any insight/wisdom would be much appreciated. Thanks

When you try to open in PS what happens?
In Bridge do you see icons or thumbnails?
Will it open in ACR in Bridge?

My IT department installed photoshop CS6 - and it crashes so much it is unusable

Hi all-
I have a decent laptop for work, Dell with good specs, running windows 7.
Using photoshop CS6, the program crashes even with the most basic commands. Some hotkeys, or a soft brush will just shut it down.
It is really frustrating, as it is pretty much unusable with this issue.
I have illustrator CS6 - which is working fine.
Any ideas on what to do here? My IT team cant really help much :/

Hi Chris-
I updated photoshop myself, as well as the drivers per your reccomendation. I dont know of any plug-ins that I am using. And I am still getting a significant amount of program crashes.
about 90% of the time I can make it happen, but 10% of the time I cna use the program, lightly, and get somehting done.
Below is one warning I see occasionally when I open the program. I tried addressing it, but don't think I solved this completly...
This is what I see when the program crashes..
Also, I noticed that for some reason, if I try to use help in photoshop, it dosent seem to think I am connected to the internet... Not sure if that is related at all..

Photoshop CS6 updated Raw and now get message saying "Could no complete your request the file was not found." Help

I updated CS6 Camera Raw as it would not read my D7100 raw files. Since that I cannot open jpegs.
Also, I go to Photoshop - About Plug-In - Camera Raw and get a pop up window saying "Could not complete the Camera Raw command because the file was not found."

I apologize, guess I wasn't very good in giving info. It is on a Mac running Snow Leopard. I did the CS6 updates through Help/Updates but that did not update to where my camera (Nikon D7100) raw files could be read. I searched around on Adobe's site for the Camera Raw update that took care of reading them, forget what page I finally found a download link on but the update was a singular installer for Camera Raw. Once updated Photoshop CS6 stopped being able to 'find files' even when the file is dragged onto the Photoshop icon, or through the menu's Open. I have since uninstalled everything reinstalled the suite from the original installer. I know have a Photoshop that will open jpegs but just not my camera's raw files. Thanks for any help that you think might take care of the problem. I am not going to update the Camera Raw unless I can find out what happened and what to do to prevent it. I switched my camera to take jpegs until if and when I solve the mystery. :-) Thanks!

Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have:
Photoshop CS4
Camera Raw CS4
Canon 5D Mark ii
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update ) this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
To the point.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
Them " Preferences "
then "General "
Then " Plus-Ins"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
Hope this works for you as well.

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

CS6 Camera raw 7.0.0.308 : can't find manual defringe tool

CS6 Camera raw 7.0.0.308 : can't find manual defringe tool, only automatic by checking a box. The lens effect tool only offers custom and manual panel. No colors for manual defringing. ??

You should update your camera raw plugin to version 8.3

CS6 Camera Raw 7.4 "will not open" compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7)

CS6 camera raw 7.4 "will not open" the compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7). D300 NEF files open OK.
I seem to remember seeing an article that stated i would have to uninstall and re-install CS6 Photoshop completely and re-install again. However I cannot find this article now.
If the above is true, having PS version CS4 with update CS5 & 6 installed, would i have to remove all PS versions.
Photoshop error message just states download latetest software version, which i have done with ACR 7.4. I have also tried ACR 8 which did open file either.
Also when ACR8 is hosted by Photoshop CS6, it does not offer any of the new features described in Photoshop CC marketing materials for ACR8 (Re: DPReview mag) so i returned to 7.4
Adobe DNG runs OK but i would rather deal with the original file in ACR rather than adding an additional step with more files to keep track of.
Is there a way of uninstalling all versions of ACR, cleaning system and re-installing ACR, assuming the fault lies with ACR?
Anyone have any answers?
Malc

Half an hour after posting this query (in the wrong forum) I resolved the issue. The fault lies with Nikon Transfer.
Nikon Transfer corrupts the D800 NEF files. Apparently Nikon Transfer is well known for causing errors.
Drag & dropping the files direct from the memory card onto your hard drive and everything works fine.
