Problems opening Lightroom 5 files in version 6

I am having problems opening images renerated in lightroom5 into cs6. Cs6 bridge does not see the lightroom libarary. If I open lightroom and right clik the image, edit in cs6, 6 opens but the picture doesnot follow. What is going on? Give me a hand, thanks.

OK, first no other program can see the catalog as it is database used just for lightroom. However your pictures should stay where you imported them onto your computer. Which is normally the default pictures folder.
For bridge to see the edits done to the picture, you must save the picture (ctrl-s or cmd-s) this will write the edits to the header of the image or a sidecar file. Bridge can then read this file and allow you to see the edits that were done to that image.
Edit in photoshop should be working. Did you remove any pictures from your hard drive? Do you have more than one version of photoshop installed?
Have you tried resetting the preference files for both lightroom and photoshop (while starting program, hold down ctrl-alt-shift or cmd-opt-shift - If done correctly a dialog box will pop up asking if you want to reset your preferences)
Lastly uninstall then reinstall photoshop. (If you have the latest version you can do this in the manager)

Lightroom 1.4 - problem opening up NEF files

Hi there,
I've been having problems opening up NEF files in Lightroom 1.4, a message keeps coming up saying that the file is not recognised. I'm using a MacBook Pro and can't get a solution - can someone please advise on the best course of action?
Thanks!

>a Nikon D3
I don't think that one is supported in LR 1.4. The camera was released after LR 1.4 was released. To get support for that camera, either upgrade to LR 2 or convert the NEF files to dng using the free DNG converter that you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT Now I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT Now I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

See this faq:
FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
That will explain why each new camera model uses its own raw format. (.CR2 does not indicate a format, only a Canon family of formats).
The first link tells you what version of camera raw is needed for your camera : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You need ACR 7.4
The second link tells you which ACR versions are supported by Elements versions Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
PSE9 supports version 6.5
Further down on that paper, you get links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter for Mac or Win.
This standalone software can batch convert a whole folder of raw files to the DNG raw file format that your present PSE9 can read.
Otherwise, you would have to upgrade to version 10 or later.

Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
Again, your PDF file is fine.

Problems opening up RAW files in the Adobe elements 12 editor

I just installed Elements12 on my Windows Desktop.
Operating System Windows XP SP3, Quad Core Processor 2.4GhZ, 3Gb RAM (based on these spec, I should be meeting minimum system requirements)
My camera's RAW format (Rebel 4Ti, CR2) is supported by the installed Camera RAW version (8.0.0.xx).
I had no problems opening up the RAW file into Camera Raw. I performed the basic adjustments and save the image as a .DNG file. No problems so far.
(1) I then tried to open the RAW file into the Elements Editor by clicking on "OPEN Image" in Camera RAW. I goes the error message that this action could not be completed due to a program error.
(2) I also tried to open the .DNG file directly. I got an error message telling me I had not enough RAM to complete this action (see above, I have 3Gb installed)
Can anybody advise me what to do, or what the problem is>
Thanks.

You might start looking for a new computer with windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
Not because windows xp is a bad operating system, but it's not supported by microsoft any longer and more and more software companies are dropping support for xp.
(even one of my favorite open source programs; Krita, dropped support for windows xp)
Plus, new programs seem to be more and more ram hungry and a 64 bit version of windows can make a world of difference.

Problems opening & resaving NEF files with CS3/CS2

I seem to be having problems sending my NEF files to Photoshop from Aperture. This started happening just today & I'm not sure what to do.
What happens is that when I open a NEF file in external editor, instead of just opening up as a psd file in CS3 or CS2 directly like it used to do, it now opens Adobe Raw instead which means that I am unable to resave back into my Aperture Library. Is there anyone who has experienced this as well? Any suggetions as to the cause and a solution? I tried checking preferences for both Aperture as well as Photoshop but nothing seems to work.
The only thing I can think of is having just updated Adobe Raw to the latest version, 4.3 I think. Other than that Aperture did start up about a week ago & declared my library corrupt & proceeded to rebuild my library. Other than that it was behaving normally until today. Its really irritating & counter productive to be unable to resave my edits in Aperture.
Any help or suggestions will be very welcome indeed. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip Eduardo, but I checked the preferences and they seem to be correct.
It seems that only images in certain projects were affected. Could be the ones that Aperture rebuilt earlier. I guess I may have to try exporting the raw files from the affected projects, then deleting and reimporting the projects again. I did try to rebuild the thumbnails but it doesn't seem to help.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try before I do this?

Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
I am running Windows XP.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
>...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

Problem opening 40D RAW files

I have installed CS3 Extended and then downloaded and installed Camera RAW 4.2. In CS3 in the Help / about plug-ins option, Camera RAW 4.2 is named. I have also opened CS3 with the ctrl key depressed and cleared the cache / reset preferences.
I have CS3 installed on d: (d:\program files\adobe\... )
and Camera Raw.8bi is installed in
d:\program files\common files\adobe\plug-ins\cs3\file formats\
(This is the version from 29/08/07 10136kB)
In bridge I can see thumbnails of 350D files but not 40D files and I can't open the 40D files in Camera Raw (on the 350D files I can right click and "open in Camera Raw..."
The 40D files are the full size RAW at 9-14Mb rather than sRAW files.
I don't know where to go next to try to get the 40D files recognised. Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks

If it works on a Mac it must work on a PC...right Ab? (-;
I tried the 40d raws on my laptop and all is well so there must be a problem with ACR on my desktop. I have seen a few messages in that regard so will proceed down that path.
Thanks for motivating me to check further on my end Ab.

Problems opening documents (zip files, excel) after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to open a lot of files. Mainly, zip files and excel documents (which I had no problem opening before the upgrade. It seems that when I save the files down (from my email or whatever) the files go into the "Archive Utility" program, I try to open them from the Finder but they still won't open (or unzip).
When I go to open an excel document (most likely from a PC user), I get a msg that the file isn't formated for excel. However, before the upgrade to Snow Leopard I had no issue opening this same file in Mac Office-Excel.
Thanks in advance for your help/advise.
-Katherine

Hello Katherine:
I have not experienced those problems, but I do not receive Excel spreadsheets via E-mail. My Stuffit Expander version is 13.0.2.
You might want to check your Excel preferences to see if there is a setting that needs to be changed (compatibility?). I use Office 2004 so your version may be different.
You could also trash preference files to see if something happened during the install.

Problem opening Lightroom

I bought Lightroom 3.4 a while ago and have been using it for a few months.
Recently I started getting a message "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: IMG_0054.jpg.lrcat" appears together with an error message on the screen. When I then select to send / not send an error reeport, everything disappears but LR does not open. Possibly I did something wrong??
Can you please help?

You delete or relocate the preference then resatrt Lr. The application should open the default catalog 'Lightroom X Catalog.lrcat'. Assuming the catalog wasn't relocated from default location or given a user another name then your catalog should open. If it doesn't then find your catalog (search for files with lrcat extension) and double click it to open.
X denotes the version number of Lr when catalog was created.
