PS CC: Camera Raw filter gives "cannot parse your files" error

Hi
I can open files fine in Photoshop CC, but if I try to use the Camera Raw filter, I get the "file format module cannot parse your files" error. This only happens with larger TIFFs, say 300 MB or so - 70 MB files work fine. I have a fast machine running Windows 7 with 12GB of RAM, so I would expect to have enough space, but maybe it isn't configured properly in PS preferences?
Thanks for any help,
Peter

300MB Tiff seems like a large files size for a Tiff which leads me to believe its a layered Tiff.  ACR does not have Layers support try opening the Tiff file in Photoshop not through ACR to see it there are layers. If there are target  all of them and convert to a smart Object then try ACR as a filter. A smart object is a single layer in Photoshop.

  • "...file-format module cannot parse the file" Error

    I am using PS CS3 Extended on a PC
    I keep getting the error...file-format module cannot not parse the file" errors when attempting to open PNG or GIF files that were created using the same version of Photoshop.
    I used to have to reboot the machine to get rid of this error - but that is no longer working.
    The error is occuring more and more frequently.
    I really need to edit these files.
    Please tell me how to fix this.
    I have seen this error in the forum - but was unable to find a real solution. Rebooting the machine is not really a solution.
    Thanks

    Thanks for trying Chris but the files are not corrupted. They open sometimes in CS4, and always do in CS3 and Elements 6, as well as on another computer. I'm talking about all my PNG files. They work most of the time, just not all of the time. If I close down PS CS4 and open it again they open just fine for a while before the problem starts again.
    I reset all preferences to factory defaults and uninstalled/ re-installed again this morning so now I'll see what happens.
    Cheers

  • Picture appears white (cannot see the image) when using camera raw filter in photoshop cc

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop CC on my macbook.  I am running into an issue when editing an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter.  If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens up but all I see is white - the picture is not showing within the camera raw interface.  This happens whenever I am working on a layer and apply the camera raw filter.  The only time it works is when I do not have any layers but only the image as it comes directly from within camera raw - then it works fine.  I'm guessing there is something really basic I am missing but it is maddening!

    You are welcome.
    The Camera RAW filter will not work on an adjustment layer alone. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert to a smart object to apply the Camera RAW filter to the image with the adjustment layer applied.

  • Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
    I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
    I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
    Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

    Hi Patrick,
    You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.

  • Can you copy and paste camera raw filter settings for video?

    I have just learned how to use the camera raw filter for color correcting my video clips. Is there a way to copy the settings for one clip and apply it to another? How do you do this?

    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

  • Camera Raw Filter is not working correctly in Photoshop CC when applied to video layer

    With Photoshop CC, when editing a video and adding a "Camera Raw Filter" to some video layer, the effect will be applied only to one frame and not to the whole video layer.
    Should it not add that filter to the whole layer (e.g. all frames in that clip)?

    Either it's a bug or a limitation. Haven't yet tried this, so I can't tell you whether it works as it should or is acting up... I would however assume that within what one can expect it works as designed - ACR doesn't have a built-in timeline, so there would be nothing for the PS routines to request retrieval of frames from withing the SO.

  • Filter-Camera Raw Filter not found

    I was looking at the Video Tutorials on Creative Cloud, and In The Tutorial shows a camera raw filter inside Filter Tab. I have purchased the CC version, But at this point it is  still CS6.
    Do I have to wait until June 14th so my Photoshop gets upgrade to CC ?
    Is that the reason I don't see the Camera Raw Filter inside the Filter Tab ?
    I did go to the CS6 Bridge and I opened a picture with the camera raw, and it shows Camera Raw 8.1
    Thanks

    Yes, the camera raw filter is available in the next version. So you need to wait a bit.

  • Where can I find the Camera Raw Filter in CS6?

    I would like to know where I can find the camera raw filter in Photoshop CS6 Student Version? I used the PS CC testversion and really liked working with this filter and miss it now. Can anyone help me?

    The Camera Raw filter isn't in Photoshop CS6. That is one of the new features that has been added to Photoshop CC. Photoshop CS6 is not going to have any enhancements added to it. The development cycle is finished for CS6.

    Cannot download camera raw version 6.6 Windows 7. get error code U44M2P7

    70D support requires ACR 8.2 or newer, which requires an upgrade to PSE.
    I’d suggest doing a trial of PSE13 to make sure it works on your computer:

  • Camera raw filter 8.x artifacts (not posterization, not banding) when using noise reduction

    hi. i use camera raw filter for frequency separation, using noise reduction. And these strange lines keep appearing and messing everything up.
    What is this and how do i get rid of them. Maybe it's a bug of some sort? It looks like ACR is breaking the image to pieces and working with them individually and combining them back.
    If the sliders are not 100-0-0, the lines reduces, but is still there

    I am seeing the same thing in a random test image someone else posted of buildings at night.  The discontinuity becomes more apparent if you maximize the sharpening but it is not there in the saved result so appears to be the difference between rendering for the display and rendering for output:
    The output TIF does not have it:

  • Photoshop CC Quits After Running Camera Raw Filter

    During the past week, Photoshop keeps quitting after I have used the Camera RAW Filter and then pressed OK.
    Anyone else experienced this.

    I have not, but I guess the generic advice may apply …
    Boilerplate-text:
    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)
