Photoshop Elements 7 acr 5.4 camera raw plugin won't work

Hello everyone,
I am very frustrated hopefully someone can help me out.  I have PS Elements 7 and installed the camera raw plugin 5.4 per adobe instructions which I followed to the letter.  I still can't open raw files and do not want to use other third party software and use DNG converter which is a hassle. 
Here is the error I get:  Can't open NEF because it's the wrong type of file. 
Thanks

I'm afraid that there is no camera plugin that you can install for pse 7 that will read the nikon D5100 files, since pse 7 can only use up to
camera raw 5.6 and your camera requires at least camera raw 6.4, which is not compatible with pse 7.

So, the dng converter is your best free alternative.
You can always upgrade to photoshop elements 12, which will open those files without having to use the dng converter.

  • Camera RAW 431 won't work on my Vista 64 machine.

    Vista 64
    CS3
    Camera RAW 431 won't work on my Vista 64 machine. I keep getting the error that it's the wrong file type when trying to open the RAW file, and I get no thumbnails. I've deleted all cache files manually--not using the Adobe help because their wrong about their file locations, that's for Windows XP and not Vista. (You can't access "Documents and Settings" in Vista, and there is no:
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    Vista:Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    I even uninstalled the entire CS3 Suite and reinstalled it. It still won't work. In fact, I can't even use the old raw plugin file anymore--it now won't open RAW files either.
    Anyway, I just need a confirmation that Camera RAW 431 actually works in Vista 64, since the directions do not in the least relate to Vista 64, but, rather, Windows XP, and the method used to get RAW 431 to work in Vista 64.
    Thanks

    Zippy,
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\" is the location of 32-bit apps (like Photoshop CS3) in 64-bit Vista. It is known as simply "C:\Program Files\" in all 32-bit editions of Windows. Since the vast majority of Windows/Photoshop users are likely still on a 32-bit platform, it is understandable why the instructions omit the 64-bit specific folder path.
    The VirtualStore copy indicates that at some point, you (or Photoshop) attempted a programmatic update of the file, and it attempted to write into the restricted Common Files folder. Vista redirected that to the VirtualStore folder instead. On my 64-bit Vista install, I have no Adobe files in there at all... this is likely due to my insistence on manual updates.
    I would try this:
    1. Backup all your personal Photoshop files (actions, palettes, window positions, keyboard shortcuts, brushes, etc.).
    2. Uninstall Photoshop CS3 as best you can.
    3. Manually delete all Photoshop-related folders inside the VirtualStore. You may have to look inside both the virtualised "Program Files (x86)\Common Files" and "Program Files (x86)\Adobe" folders.
    4. Run the WinCS3Clean script to ensure there are no problematic bits left over from your beta CS3 install. I'm hoping your manual excursion through the Windows registry did not hurt more than it helped.
    5. Reinstall CS3 and manually update the "Camera Raw.8bi" plugin. I put mine in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\".
    Depending on how your OS is configured, it may be easier if you login as Administrator first. Photoshop CS3, Bridge 2.1, ACR 4.4 (and all previous versions) and Lightroom 1.4 (and all previous versions) work as expected on my 64-bit Vista machine here, so this is not a general compatibility issue.

  • Photoshop CS6 want to find camera raw plugin 8.3 for my nikon d610 can someone help me please...

    I just recently downloaded and installed photoshop cs6 and the highest camera raw update i have is camera raw 7 and my camera (NIKON D610) requires camera raw 8.3 i've updated the camera raw plugin to the highest thats available in the software update but i read that camera raw 8.3 is now available but i can't seem to locate it on the internet or adobe website to upgrade my camera raw plugin to 8.3. can someone please help me and show me where i can find a download link for camera raw 8.3 thank you for taking the time to read this and your help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Camera Raw.plugin location on Mac, Photoshop Elements 6

    (Regarding Photoshop Elements 6) Adobe's updater cannot find the Camera Raw plugin to update to 4.4.1, so I downloaded it manually. The problem is trying to find the old plugin so I can replace it. If I follow the info in the Read Me for this update, it says to put it in:
    ~/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
    This folder did not exist, so I created Plug-Ins, CS3 and File Formats. Didn't work.
    I went to the Photoshop Elements 6 folder, and there found
    Plug-Ins/FileFormats
    (no space between "File" and "Formats"). I put the new Camera Raw.plugin there (no old one there), and now Elements, in its "About Plug-In" drop down menu lists TWO Camera Raw plugins, version 4.3.1 and the 4.4.1 I just put there.
    Where the heck is the 4.3.1 file so I can get rid of it?? Searching with the Finder and Spotlight only reveals the 4.4.1 file.

    Camera Raw location on a Mac:-
    Hard Drive/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/File Format/CS6
    or
    Hard Drive/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/File Format/CS5
    or
    Hard Drive/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/File Format/Elements
    NOT within the User section at all!
    and if you update one Camera Raw you can, of course, copy and paste to alternative versions of Adobe products (as if, for example, you have both CS6 & CS5, or Elements)

    You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7. Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free 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)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    so, now after following the linked instructions...

    in case with 60D RAWs ther was portrait, landscape, etc...
    2. The step wit installing the DNG converter I download the DNG converter 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3. - the reason is to add in the system camera profile that I want
    every one of them do not install - just nothing happen after doubleclick (!?)
    only one that  install and run it's 7.1 which dont support 70D RAW files....
    it's amazing how to put all this to work propertly

  • Camera raw plugin for photoshop 5.5 (windows) not updating

    Hi, I'm trying to update the camera raw plugin (min 8.2) in photoshop 5.5 for windows. I downloaded, ran, installed camera raw plugin 8.6 and rebooted. The installation wizard shows as installed but when I open photoshop it still has camera raw 6.7.0.339. Please help!! (The dng converter works but the camera raw plugin has not been updated)

    That may be because the latest version of ACR that works with CS5 is ACR 6.7

    You can install ACR 8.7.1 in CS6 to get new Camera support without ACR new features

  • 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

    If you mean you are opening jpeg files that have already been edited in camera raw, that is normal.
    Otherwise, that's very strange. There are many users who would like to be able to open in camera raw by default or from the Organizer  and complain not to be able to do so!
    Which Elements versin? From the editor or the Organizer?

  • Loss of thumbnails of RAW images in Photoshop prior to opening them in Camera Raw

    I recently purchased and started using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II.  I found that with my Photoshop CS6 I was unable to open my RAW files in Camera Raw, so I downloaded an update of Camera Raw, viz. version 8.7.1 from the Adobe website.  Now I can open the RAW images from my new camera in Camera Raw.  However, I have lost the capacity to display a thumbnail image of a RAW file when using the open function of the file drop down menu in Photoshop. Now when I single-click on an ID number of a RAW image from the list of images, I see only a blank thumbnail.  I save lots of time using image thumbnails for selecting images for editing in Camera Raw.  Is there some way to restore the ability to see RAW image thumbnails in Photoshop prior to opening images in Camera Raw?

    Which operating system are you using?
    Are the blank thumbnails only for the files from the canon EOS 7D Mark II camera?
    An alternative is to use Bridge CS6 or Mini Bridge to see the photos before you open them in photoshop cs6.
