PS CS2 can't open D80 Raw files even with correct plug-in
I am on a PC running Photoshop CS2. I cannot open RAW images from my Nikon D80. I have installed the Camera RAW plug-in (3.6) as instructed. The files still won't open. I'm very frustrated.
No, you are not doing things correctly yet. The DNG converter is a separate, stand-alone program. It does not require Photoshop or any other program other than your operating system to run. You use it to convert your raw images to the Digital negative (DNG) format, and then you would open those DNG files with Photoshop CS and the correctly installed Camera Raw 2.4. The DNG files still contain all of the raw data, and you can achieve the same results from those files as you can the original raw files from your camera. If you are not willing or able to update your version of Photoshop, then this is the route you will have to go in order to work on your raw images.
Added later: since the DNG converter is a separate program, it can be placed anywhere on your computer. I find it easy to simply leave it on the desktop so that I can drag the images from my camera (via card reader) onto the DNG converter. Then all you have to do is follow the prompts in the DNG converter to configure the conversion the way you want it.

Help! I can't open canon raw files .CR2 with PSE 7.0 after installing plug in.
I have a Canon rebel EOS T1i camera and have been shooting in RAW (.CR2) format. I have tried installing the latest ACR plug-in and when I try to open the .CR2 file I get an error message stating that it is unrecognizable. It is very frustrating and I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks!
You need to make sure you have the latest version of ACR which is version 5.6. Some of the Adobe links are not what they seem and lead to earlier versions. Use the download for PSE8; it will work with PSE7.

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D
why i can't open my raw file?
You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS. -

I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera. I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter. I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong? Thanks!
This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added] -
i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?
Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!
What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4. -
Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF
Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file -
I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?
I recently purchased a Nikon D610. I have PSE 10. I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW. I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format. Any help??????
Your most direct choices are:
1) Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws. These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in. Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
2) Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added. PSE10 won’t be updated.
Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera. These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software. -
I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?
Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise. Thanks
Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
BrianHi,
The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
You need to either
1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
or
2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
For XP or Vista :
DNG Converter 8.3

For Windows 7 or 8

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone
That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

CS2 USED to open my raw files, and now it doesn't. HELP!
This is probably addressed somewhere but Ive looked and have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I previously had an imac G5 with CS2. I purchased a new camera (Canon 5D) and the computer had no trouble opening and editing raw files. WEll...computer crashed, I bought a new computer, installed CS2 and low and behold, I no longer seem to have Camera Raw. Where did it go? No amount of downloading plugins will help, since I don't have it in the first place. I get an error message "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" both when I try to open a RAW file AND when I try to install a camera raw plugin.
I am so frustrated. I have piles of shoots to edit and I'm falling behind. PLEASE HELP.The Canon 5D needs ACR 3.3. A fresh installation of PS will have a lower version. You can confirm this by looking in PS Help > About Plug-in...
You must download the latest 3.x version and install it exactly following the instructions.

Can't Open NEF RAW files in PSE 6
I cannot open NEF RAW files in PSE 6. I downloaded the plugin but that didn't fix it. Any suggestions?
There is another choice.
You can download the free Adobe DNG Converter, then convert your RAWs to DNG, and then open them in the PSE6 Adobe Camera Raw editor. This doesn't require you updating your software to PSE9, or purchasing anything.
