Photoshop Elements 8 - unable to view RAW files

Hi.
I have been using Adobe Elements 8 since it came on to the market. I use Canon Cameras and my latest one being a 1Dmkiv.
When I got the Canon 1D I down loaded the appropriate RAW file I think it was 5.6 and followed the instructions and changed the Camera Raw.8bi file and it worked perfect and I was able to view and edit Raw files.
Last week my computer failed and I have had a new hard drive and hence have had to upload all my software. I installed Elements 8 back onto the computer and reinstalled the photograph catalogues I had backed up within Elements 8 before the computer crash.
When the photographs in the catalogues were viewed only JPEG files were visible, the raw files are shown as a a grey negative with a zig zag across them. I thought that I would have to upload again the lates RAW update, which I did and went through all the instructions as given by Adobe. I changed the Raw.8bi file within Elements 8 and I still am unable to view any Raw files within Elements 8. I desperately need access to these files. Any help would be appreciated
Best regards

Thanks so much for your reply. My problem appeared to be that most of the thumb
nails had lost their links and I had to individually update the thumbnails from within the program. It wasn't a problem
with the RAW file not being updated.

  • My new Photoshop Elements 12 has a RAW file plug-in, but when I try OPEN to select a photograph, there are only generic icons instead of pictures-- I can't tell one photograph from another! How can I fix this so I can tell which photograph I want to open?

    The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
    The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported.

  • Photoshop CC: unable to open Raw files from Canon T1i

    I am trying to edit photos in the raw CR2 format I took with my Canon T1i.  I cannot get the new Photoshop CC to open them.  I think I need a plug in to do this but cannot find out where to download the plug in.  Please send a link to the plug in 5.4 for windows and how to download it so i can finish editing the photos I have.  Thanks!

    The Canon T1i has been supported by Photoshop since Photoshop CS4 (via an upgrade to ACR 5.4).
    The Adobe Camera Raw plugin has been able to read T1i Raw files out-of-the-box in Photoshop since CS5.
    Something else must be happening.

  • Unable to view RAW files

    I recently bought Lightroom 4.4 for use on an IMac (10.8.5) but cannot view RAW (NEFF) files.  A chat forum suggested downloading a DNG converter but I am still struggling to see the RAW files.  What am I doing wrong?

    Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
    LR/PS - The Advantages of the DNG File Format | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
    Basically, you start the DNG converter. It will prompt you for a folder containing raw files. Choose the folder, but don't open it. Then, choose the destination folder, then click on the Convert button. It's very simple.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 not reading Raw files

    I have an old version Elemnts 8 running on Mac OS 10.6.8 that I have used mosty for jpg  files in the past. I now have a new Nikon D7000 and am shooting in Raw only PSE 8 will not recognise my raw files, I have been on numerous plugins to try to update PSE and see if I can get the right plugin to interface with the D7000, not much information out there to help me. I just installed  Camera Raw 6.2 as it appeares to be the most untodate that can still be installed in PSE 8 but my Raw files are still a blank icons and PSE will not recognise them. I rang the Adobe Tech people and they would love to help if I put some money into their pocket.. I don't see why I should when it is obviously a fault of their software that it wont read Raw, other wise they wouldn't  have so many update plugins out there to try to fix the problem.    has anybody been able to find a solution to this, and can you help me.

    a fault of their software that it wont read Raw, other wise they wouldn't  have so many update plugins out there to try to fix the problem.
    Just FYI, every single camera model has a unique raw format, so every time there's a new camera release, adobe must update the raw plug-in with the information necessary for that format, and they need the necesary info from the camera maker to do that. Raw isn't a generic format, unfortunately, and adobe also makes other changes to the raw converter from time to time, so there's a limit to how long you can continue to get new versions with your older software. (In CS, they deliberately cut you off when a new CS version is released, but in PSE it's true compatibility that mostly determines when the upgrades stop. Your version of Bridge was also part of CS4 so it got stopped when CS5 came out.  )
    Another option would be to use the software that came with the camera to do your raw conversions, save as Tiff and edit those in PSE.

  • Can't view RAW files in Organizer

    I have Elements 5.0 and I just downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw 4.5 (latest version to work with 5.0) and while I can now edit raw files, I cannot see them as thumbnails in Organizer.
    Is there something else I need to do?  Does Elements 7.0 fix this problem?  My camera is a Canon Xti.
    I am unable to view RAW files as thumbnails in Windows Explorer either, and have been told it's a Canon driver issue, but I don't think that is related.
    Thanks for any help.

    This advice also applies to your case, PSE5 and ACR 4.5 (by the way, 4.6 is the latest version to work with PSE5)

  • Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download Raw photos?

    Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download raw files (photos) from card reader or do I have to use
    Capture One, Adobe DNG converter ?
    I am planning to buy the Sony mirrorless Alpha A 7 II
    I read - there can be problems with down loading raw files from the Sony A7II camera to Photoshop elements.
    Someone suggested if I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 it will automatically download raw files just like it did with Jpegs.

    Hi,
    Could it be referred to as the Sony ILCE-A7M2 - that appears in the table and requires Camera Raw 8.7.1
    If that is the case, Photoshop Elements 13 (with updates) will import the raw files. When you plug in the card into the reader, it can be set up to launch the Elements downloader.
    You can download the trial version of Photoshop Elements from here
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    Once you have installed it, you need to go to the Help menu and select Updates to install the latest Camera Raw.

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later

    When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
    The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
    And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
    So, your choice is either :
    - to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
    - to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

  • Unable to open Raw files from Nikon D800 in Photoshop CC [was:raw updates with creative cloud?]

    i have a d800, bridge or photoshop do not seem to support the raw files, i am using CC and bridge will not bring up the thumbnails and photoshop will not open the files at all, can anyone help?

    [Moved from Cloud forum to Camera Raw forum]
    ACR = Adobe Camera Raw.
    ACR is the plugin used by Photoshop to read and process Raw files from cameras. It must be updated every time a new camera comes on to the market.
    The Nikon D800 has been fully supported since ACR7.1
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    ACR7.1 is compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So, if you are in fact using Photoshop CC, there should be no reason that Raw files cannot be opened.
    In Photoshop, click:
    Windows: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Which version number is shown?
    Are you using Nikon transfer software to get the Raw files from your camera to your computer?

  • Unable to open RAW files in CS6 after update

    Hi all,
    I have Photoshop CS6 and have been able to open my D4 Raw files with no issues using the Camera Raw version 7.1 plugin.
    Yesterday I upgraded my Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (a big jump I agree) and proceeded to update Photoshop to the latest version as well as installing Adobe DNG Converter 8.8.
    I am apparently still using the same 7.1 plugin version as I always have but I am now no longer able to open any RAW files through Photoshop as it displays a message saying 'files not recognised' when I try to open them.
    Have I skipped too many updates? Do the latest Photoshop CS6 updates leave me unable to open RAW files? Am I being pushed down the CC route?
    Could anybody offer any help at all as I have a wedding to edit but cannot open any files!!! Stress!!!
    I backed up my system through Time Machine before I did the update but im not sure if I restore that I will still have Yosemite OS running.
    Any help or advice really is appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Phil
