Photoshop Raw File Import Error

I'm using CS6 and Photoshop will not open Raw Files. I've updated to the most recent Raw plugin as well as photoshop. I'm running it on a Mac with Yosemite. Is there a solution to importing raw files to photoshop with this set-up.

Thanks Gene.
If I  use file> open it reads: "Photoshop cannot open this file. If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates... If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information"
I do have Bridge CS6. It is version 5.0.0.399
Photoshop is version 13.0.
ACR is 7.0 which sounds like an issue. however when I go to update it says it's already updated.
Thanks for the help.

  • File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

    I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
    Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
    File Import Error
    The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
    I've tried everything I can think of:
    1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
    2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
    3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
    4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
    5. Manually updated AME
    6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
    7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

    Tried that as well.
    To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
    1. On company internal server
    2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
    3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
    4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
    5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
    I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.

  • Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • Fuji x-trans raw files import extremely slow

    WIn 7 pro 3.6 AMD quad core 16 gb ram 1.2 tb raid 0 WD Velociraptor drives. Lightroom 5.6
    I have a fairly quick system and my 24mp Sony raw files import and render full sized previews reasonably quickly -but it takes about 5x longer for my Fuji X-T1 raw files to import and render full size previews.  If I import into Capture One Pro 7 or 8 or into Photo Ninja both the Sony and the Fuji files import and render previews quickly. It is only Lightroom that is so incredibly slow with the Fuji raw files.
    I have used LR since version one and my files have always imported reasonably fast , however, the Fuji raw files have been slow to import from the very first import.  Ex - yesterday I imported 312 raf files (Fuji raw files) and it took 31 minutes to complete. I also imported 257 Sony raw files and the import  plus full sized preview rendering was completed in just under 5 minutes.
    Am I missing something in the preferences or import workflow?
    Thanks for any help
    BOb

    Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
    The setup is identical as when I work with my Nikon-files; I always start by "manually" copy the files from the memorycard to correct location/disk.
    In LR I use the "Add" option when I import to my catalog, so the file transfer is not part of the equation....
    Even the large files from Nikon D810 is faster to "add" than the files from the X-T1.
    But, as you write, it might come down to X-Trans-files (RAF) is not as optimal for Adobe processing as the Nikon raw files (NEF)...

  • CS6 File Import Error

    MAC PRO 2 x 2.93 GHz 6 Core
    12 GB 1333 MJZ DDR3 Ram

    OS 10.7.4
    CS6.0.1.31
    I have run into this "File Import Error"  several times since installing the PP update and the new AJA drivers for CS6.
    The message tells me that the file is an unsupported format or that it's damaged.  These files will open if I keep trying and they'll also open in QT player and in After Effects and eventually in PP.
    Also when I open an existing project I consistently get a dialogue box: 
    "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable.  To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder.  Would you like to continue?
    second dialogue appears
    "The project could not be loaded.  It may be damaged or contain outdated elements.
    Then another:
    "Video filter missing
    AE_A7D2C2A2-6AB7-4551-84A6-45830F6ADF3C"
    If I try the project a coupl.e of times it will usually open, showing the first and third dialogue box, but not the second saying that it is damaged.
    Of course none of the scrazttch disks are locked.
    Problem #3
    All day yesterday could not render any clips or timeline.  Today I repaired permissions and seem to now be ble to render.
    Problem #4
    Sent the unrendered timeline to Media encoder, hoping the Media Encoder would be able to render and it just locked up with no encode.
    I deleted the files and now Media encoder seems to be working.
    Something very Hinkey going on.  Anyone have any ideas or solutions to prevent this from happening in the future.
    Thanks...Jim Watt

    Problem 1: What sort of file(s) are you trying to import when you get the error?
    Problem 2: Was the previous scartch disk setting pointing to a drive that is not available on your current system? If so, open the project then change the scratch disk manually to whiver drive/directory you want... Or just accept the default.
    Problem 3: Glad that worked... doesn't that negate probelm 4?
    Problem 4: Timeline rendering and rendering at export are two different things. They are not directly related, so an export will not render the timelien for you. You did the right thing by deleteing your existing preview files. That's always a good thing to do after upgrading old projects to current versions. Plus, it saves a lot of storage space if you do that whenever you're 'done' with a project.

  • File Import Error for mpeg-1?

    When attempting to add mpeg1 files to render queue, AME 5.0.1.0 displays a messagebox "File Import Error" "Error while decompressing the source file".
    These mpeg1s are direct from my Sony DSC-N2 point-&-shoot. GSpot identifies them as mpeg1 video codec & 32khz,64kbs,mono layer2 audio. VirtualDub has no problem with these files.
    Any ideas?  I'd upload them here but as uncompressed mpeg1s they're 41 & 19MB.

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for posting the clip. I tested it and was able to reproduce your results.  In Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1, installed as part of CS5 Design Premium on Windows 7 64-bit with QuickTime 7.6.9, encoding the file to F4V (or FLV or H.264) was very very slow.  It looks like AME is duplicating every frame many times over, which was confirmed when I stopped the encode and examined the partial file.
    The problem did not occur, however, on a similar computer with CS5 Production Premium installed.
    The reason, if I understand the inner workings of AME well (which I like to think that I do), has to do with which codecs are installed with AME, which is dependent on which Adobe products you have installed.  Only Production Premium, After Effects, and Premiere Pro include the MPEG codecs necessary for AME to decode MPEG files natively.  Design Premium, Flash, or any other Adobe product that installs AME do not install the MPEG codecs.
    In theory, AME shouldn't be able to read your MPEG file at all.  But when QuickTime is installed AME has a rule that allows it to ask QuickTime if it can decode certain types of files if AME can't decode them natively.  In this case, yes, QuickTime can read this MPEG file.  So it's actually QuickTime that is decoding the file for AME, and then AME takes those frames and encodes them to the output format.  If you didn't have QuickTime installed, AME would just produce an error when you tried to open the file.  (I confirmed this by uninstalling QuickTime; this is also why your previous bad QuickTime install was generating the error you first posted about.)
    The problem here seems to be that QuickTime and AME aren't talking together very well.  Either AME isn't requesting the frames correctly, or QuickTime isn't handing over the frames correctly.
    The best workaround for you will be to use a different program to transcode your MPEG files to a different format.  Either directly to F4V, or to an intermediate format (QuickTime, AVI, other) that you can then import into AME so it can properly transcode it.
    Or you can take Jim's suggestion and shoot with a camera that produces files that are more friendly to editing.  MPEG files are notoriously difficult to decode efficiently for editing, and the wide variety of implementations of the MPEG guidelines makes it nearly impossible for editing programs to be compatible with every single device that can write MPEG files.
    I do have some good news: this problem has already been resolved for a future release of AME; my test of an internal build did not reproduce the problem.

  • Photoshop raw file issue

    Hi
    I have photoshop cs5 which I have installed on a new laptop, I use a canon 550d camera and take shots in Raw, I get an error message when trying to open a raw file, I understand that I need a plug in or update that will make my canon 550d raw files compatible, so I have tried downloading 6.1 and other updates/plug ins but I don't really understand what is happening but it is not working, do I need a unzip program? if so I have to spend £30 buying that to be able to install an update?
    please help as I have lots of photos to sort out in RAw.
    Thank you

  • RAW file import to Photos; OS X 10.10.3

    How to import the RAW files into Photos?
    Panasonic DMC-LX3. I shoot both RAW and JPG images. iPhoto would import both images for each picture, Photos just imports the JPG. I am NOT using the iCloud photo library. The picture in Photos has a small shadowed box in left bottom corner with a J in it - almost like there is a hidden file, no idea what the J means, can find no reference in help files or online.
    I've tried importing direct from the memory card in iMac slot and with camera plugged into USB - no difference. Photos did pull over all the RAW files from the iPhoto library on first startup.
    The LX3 is listed as supported by OS X Yosemite V10.10 OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
    Maybe the issue is that I could select Adobe Photoshop Elements as the photo editor in iPhoto preferences . Photos does not have this external editor feature.Help!

    My camera's JPEG processing is almost always better than the default JPEGs created by either Aperture or Photos for OS X.
    Sure.
    Not to mention the time needed to create them in the applications, which slows down the import process quite a bit.
    Well that doesn't make sense, as they are created anyway, and if you use in camera editing on the jpeg you actually be generating two sets of previews on import.
    If the shot doesn't need work I'd like to throw the RAW away and not pay for the storage it uses up (locally and in the cloud).
    This is easy:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Photo -> is -> Raw
    Find them, and then you can delete the ones you don't want.

  • How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

    I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
    The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to  Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

    Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
    If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

  • Raw Files Import Preview

    Hi, when I am importing pictures from my Canon EOS Rebel T3i, Lightroom shows "Preview Unavailable for this file" for all the raw files. I was testing Lightroom in a class a few days ago and I could preview all the raw files before importing them. How do I set the settings correctly so I can see the raw files in the preview mode BEFORE I import them? Thank you

    Are you using the camera to transfer the images to your computer? Canons often have trouble doing that. What happens if you use a card reader?

  • Why won't my RAW files import into LR4?

    Hello all,
    Something very strange is going on with LR4.  I have been using LR since version 1 and never had this happen before.  When I have an SD card filled with jpegs and RAW files from my Fuji X100 camera and try to import all of them into LR 4, ONLY the jpeg files get imported.  None of the RAW files get moved into LR at all.  I have to create a new folder, move all the RAW files so that they are alone, and do a second import.  Why is this?  Why cannot I import all at one time, not even thinking about the difference?
    Seems absolutely stupid that my RAW files are being ignored.
    Thanks for the help.  Appreciate it.

    Sorry, I assumed that you were shooting RAW + jpg.  What I think you are now saying is that you have a shoot in which some of the files were shot in RAW and some in jpg?  In that case, I don't know why it would only import RAW on the first go round and jpgs on the second. When I have mixed files (I shoot only RAW, but panoramas  are by definition only jpgs), they all import on the first try. In fact, even video files come in at the same time.
    If you did shot RAW+Jpg then you could either check the box, in which case you will see two files, or uncheck it, in which case you will see one (with the other hidden). But since that's not the case, that check box doesn't apply to you.
    Right.  Most of my shots are jpegs.  But on rare occasions, I want a RAW file so I hit the RAW button on the X100 and then shoot RAW for one shot.  This last import I had 10-15 RAW shots and they would not import along with all the jepgs.  This happens everytime I have mixed file formats.  Very frustrating.
    Thanks for trying!

  • HT1229 Location of Raw files imported into iPhoto

    I have imported some raw files into iPhoto but I cannot locate them in finder. I want to import them into another machine. I can find all other photos but nothing recently

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 

  • Raw files imported distorted with Lightroom 3

    Hey,
    In the last months I started experiencing an issue with Lightroom 3 (is the software that came with my camera) that didn't have at the beginning and AFAIK nothing has changed after I isntalled the lastest version of lightroom 3 and the camera raw plugin.
    Recently pretty much every picture I import comes with shifted bands. I know the raw files are ok because other computers load the file correctly. You can see in the car wheel the kind of shifting I am suffering.
    Exporting the file to a different format will save the file with the distortion, so it is not just visual.
    In all honesty, I don't know how to tackle this, I tried to install any possible updates for camera raw which didn't work and I fear that reinstalling the software might not work or just do temporally till it breaks again. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Message was edited by: hitonme

    When you compare the files on other computers and they are ok, are you reading them onto the second computer from the camera memory card in a card-reader or USB-cable attached to the camera, or from some other step further along in the transfer process, such as from one computer’s hard-drive to another?
    Anything that happens after the last shared step is suspect. 
    If you are reading them from the memory card again and they are ok on the second computer, then what happens if you copy the photos, again, onto the first computer?  Do the same ones have the same faults in the same locations or are the faults different?  If the latter, then something in the transfer process (USB drivers/cable) or the computer, itself (memory, hard-drive), is bad.
    If you remove and re-import the files do they still have the same faults in the same locations?  If you purge your camera-raw cache and re-develop do the same faults show up?  If not then perhaps wherever your raw cache is, is corrupted.
    If you want you can try posting one of the files that has been imported into LR and is bad, here, and others can try it on their systems, to make sure the data in the file is bad.
    By “posting one of the files” I mean upload it to a large-file-hosting service like www.dropbox.com and then post the public download link, here.
