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.

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 camera raw files.

I have tried to open camera raw files (CR2 and RW2) and get an error message that PSE9 can't open this file because it is the wrong type of file. I had thought that PSE9 could open and process Camera Raw. Will appreciate your suggestion for resolving this issue. Thanks.

Try opening directly from the folder rather than from Organizer
Right click on a file and choose Open With photoshop elements editor

Problems opening camera raw files in photoshop need help

I am having problems opening cr. files in photoshop and I'm not sure what to do. In case you couldn't tell I am really new to adobe products and am pretty clueless.

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.

Adobe Photoshop CS and opening up raw files

I am looking for help with opening up raw files in my Adobe Photoshop CS version 8.0. I checked the camera raw which is version 2.0. I tried to update it to the 2.4 but I don't think I updated it right. Thank you for any help.

I assume you're trying to get to ACR 2.4 in order to open DNGs created with the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter?
What is your OS, Mac or Windows?
If you are on a Mac, see if the Photoshop menu has a menu item called "About Plug-in" which will lead you to Adobe Camera Raw and a box showing you what version of ACR you have installed. It's been too long since I used the ancient CS1, so I can't remember id that menu item was there already or not.
I don't know where that menu item is on Windows boxes.

For the D5200 you have two alternatives:

Cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

i cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

Are RAW files from the Lumix LX7 supported in PSE10?

Hi, is it possible to open a RAW-file from the new Lumix LX7 with Elements 10?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

In the meantime you could use the 7.2 DNG Converter Beta to convert your files to dng copies which pse 10 should open:
Note: you want the 7.2 dng converter beta not the 7.2 camera raw plugin beta

Open fz200 raw files in PSE 9

Adobe doesn’t update old software for new cameras., but you can use PSE9 if you convert to DNG.
Download and install the free Adobe 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 original raw files as backups and for use in the manufacturers software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

Elements 12 does not open nef raw files depsite having latest raw plug-in

Help please - wasted far too much time trying to open my raw files with recently purchased elements 12. I have tried to ensure all software is up-to-date but still the message that the raw file is not supported appears when I try to open with Camera Raw . The files open in nikon software and windows. My camera is a Nikon D7100.

As a test, try copying a nef file from your camera to computer without using nikon transfer and see if it opens in pse 12.
Which version of windows are you using?
If in the photoshop elements 12 editor you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.
