RAW files slow to open over network

Hi I have a 20inch iMac with 2Ghz RAM which i use to edit RAW photo's from the companies server. For some reason when i open or preview the files it seems to take an age. I have done a bit of searching on the net and found a few helpful sites which got me to look at the preferences but unfortunately most of it i had already tried and the rest didnt make any difference. Once in Photoshop everything seems to be fine and working at normal speed. This to me points to a problem with the network but there are other Macs that dont have this problem. Can someone please help i am running out of ideas.

Do you have other network related file performance issues or is it just limited to raw?
We run a sizable academic network with a couple of thousand users and problems like this almost inevitably turn out to be permission based. Do you have an internal network support person that can watch your process from the server end?

Quickbooks slow to open over network

Quickbooks is Database Server Manager is Running R6.5554 each of the end computers is fully patched (not sure version don't have it in front of me). I was thinking that too but I am getting the same issue when I try and run it from a client computer (not touched in server upgrade) to another client computer.

I have a customer that I updated from Server 2003 R2 to Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Now they are complaining though that the quickbooks is very slow to open and I have confirmed it takes about 60 seconds from the login screen of quickbooks to having the file open.My first thought was the HDD was failing so I replaced the entire OS drive with a new SSD. Same issue.Then I thought maybe it was the server's fault so i copied the file to a end users computer and the login process was almost instant.So to take the test farther I then told that computer to host the QB file and connected another computer to the computer hosting the file (straight though no switch just direct connection) and the computer hosting the file was working great. The laptop I was trying to open over the test network was same as loading from the server 60 seconds+...

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

D800 RAW files will not open in Photoshop CS6

I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success. I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
Any idea what the problem is?

Brilliant! ACR 7.1 Beta allows D800 RAW files to be opened within CS6 and it also allows Photoshop 4 to open D800 RAW files in Photoshop CS6.
It says that the Beta version will expire on 30/6/2012 after which it will keep advising on a daily basis although it will still work. Any idea, what happens next? Does Adobe issue a proper ACR 7.1 and distribute it as part of the update service?

•Canon EOS 5D Mark II Raw Files Won't Open?

I use PE 11 and normally shoot with Nikon cameras. I recently used a friend's Canon #EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon Raw files will not open. I found a Camera Raw plug-in (5.2) that addresses this but am concerned this plug-in will override the camera raw plug-in already installed to read my Nikon files. Is this a valid concern?

Thanks for your response. What I think the problem was had to do with a couple of corrupted files. The jpg versions displayed correctly but the raw files did nothing when they were selected. I deleted 4 files that would not display and then randomly selected another which did. All the remainder of 46 files display in PE. I might have a bad CF card on my hands even though it is new. I’ll send it to Lexar for examination.
Good to know the question forum works. Thanks.

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

I have reinstalled cc and vhen i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014. How kan i connekt my raw files to CC2014

I have reinstalled cc and when i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014.
How can i connect my raw-files to CC2014?

You should have Bridge CC installed for CC 2014.
In Windows, right-click on a raw file, and select "choose default program". Photoshop CC 2014 should be listed. Select it. "Always open this file with this program" should also be checkmarked.
If CC 2014 is not on the list, look for the Browse button at the bottom and go to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and click on the Photoshop CC 2014.exe to choose it and add to the list.
In Bridge CC Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations, look for your raw file type (CR2 or Nef) and select Photoshop CC 2014 deom the drop-down menu.

You're welcome! It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.

Indesign files won't open over a network

I have just copied my entire work folder from a 17" iMac Core Duo to a 20" iMac Core Duo. When I attempt to open any InDesign files over the network from one machine to the other I get the following message.
"Cannot open the document "xxxxxxx". You may not have permission or the document may be open already. For mutli-user access, close the file and then lock it using thee File > Get Info command in the Finder."
All my other files open correctly - Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. I have read and write permissions for the entire work folder, but only the InDesign files wont open over the network. The files will open perfectly on the local machine, but not over the network.
I have managed to find a similar post on Adobe's InDesign User Forum, but not a satisfactory solution.
I have never had this problem before, I've been using fileservers for years with no problems
Please can anyone help.
Thanks

Well, I don't have InDesign or I'd try Sharepoints to see if it could help the situation, dunno...

"Adobe states that PhotoShop CS2 does not work in a network environment. Many have seen this issue with CS2 and 10.4 working in a client/server environment. This does not seem to be an issue on the Windows/PC side. The only work around at the moment is to save the file on the local drive and then copy it over to client home folder."
I think part of it is that Apple has changed the method of locking files in OSX more than once.

Cant open over network from Windows to Leopard, but ok to Tiger

Hi
We have a number of Mac Pro's some running Tiger and others running Leopard. I can open any quicktime file over our network from a PC to any Tiger Mac, but not to a Leopard Mac. Why not? I can see the files I can open any other file type, just not QT. Copy the same file over to one of the Tiger Mac's and I can open it from the Windows PC. This would not be such an issue, but we are dealing with 1920x1080 uncompressed files and it is a real pain to move them.
Get Error 43: a file could not be found
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Tony

Well outside help other than this list has solved this. Seems there is a bug in QT windows that if a QT file resides in a folder on the MAc with a name longer than 8 characters, it wont open over the network.
ie. Running QT Windows 7.5 connecting over network to a Mac running leopard.
FYI

Few 5DmkII RAW files do not open with Aperture, but OK with other software

Hi, I have two RAW files which I cannot import with Apple Aperture. The files open fine with Canon Digital Photo Professional, Raw Photo Processor and dcraw (and with various programs on my Windows 7 laptop) and I'm able to create TIFF files from the RAW files with every other software.
Detail about the files:
A. they are two first frames of burst (used auto bracketing, which takes 3 images in burst mode, to create HDR image)
B. there is nothing strange in the files, they are normal RAW files and file size is normal as well (other 28.4MB and 32.7MB)
C. both files process OK in above mentioned softwares and there are no blocks missing from created TIFF images, also preview JPG in the RAW file is OK
D. Mac OS X Quick view (press spacebar in Finder) and Preview do show these two RAW images well (I assume they use the embedded JPG image)
I have installed all the updates available in "Apple icon" -> "Software update..." function. Therefore I have Apple Aperture version 3.0.2. Computer is MacPro:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
How I can submit the files for Apple to create fix? I searched for Apple Aperture support but there is only this forum, no email address or anything. Do they read this forum?

Some clarifications and answers to your questions:
First to Tony Gay:
I try the feedback later today even they claim "Please know that while we do read these submissions, we cannot guarantee a personalized response.", which is original reason why I'm why I wrote this question here. The url you provided did not work but this should:

This is not relevant to sRAW files, I did not change the between camera taking automated bracketed shots the image format for 2 shots to sRAW and took 3rd with RAW, that is not even possible.
I have copied the images from card to hard drive, not trying to read from the card itself. However now you mention tried also from card = exactly same result. Tried desktop (different HD) and external USB and external eSata, all same result.
Get info doesn't show anything wierd for the images. All other 192 RAWs from same shoot were imported with exact same methodology (as well as 60000 images before that).
Then to gosuk2:
There is no HDR setting in camera, I took the images FOR HDR, but did not use any specific setting, just used 1 1/3 stop bracketing and 2 second times when camera automatically takes 1 1/3 underexposed, correct exposure and 1 1/3 overexposed image (the order of images can naturally be changed via custom function in camera). All this is unrelevant since I shoot quite often HDR with this method (=more than 500 images each month) this way and they have always been fine before these two images.
I see the files in import panel and I the don't use import dublicates setting so that doesn't affect the situation (why it would, Aperture things files are broken).
Again HDR cannot be combined in 5DmkII, it's just automatically shoot 3 bracketed shots.
No I don't get same result no matter what I do, it's just these two files. My other ~5000 HDR bracketed RAWs are importing fine as well as all burst/shots taken in continous shooting mode.
I'm very aware how stacking of images works, but I do not understand relevance to this issue. I can not import the images at all to Apple Aperture, after importing all images Aperture displays dialog saying that following files could not be imported to Aperture, then displays list with both of these files in the list and gives possibility to locate the files in Finder.
I have used Aperture since version 1 and I have 70000 images imported successfully to Aperture. Earlier I have seen this dialog "Aperture could not import image" only after hard drive/card failure. However then images cannot be used in Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any other RAW software - now the problem ONLY EXISTS in Aperture all other RAW converters are able to open and process SUCCESSFULLY these images.
So I'm not whining that Aperture is not good, but if it starts to work only part of the images in future and I have to process rest of the images with Canon DPP (that program is really lousy on usability standpoint) then I'm not so happy with Aperture anymore.
Will report here if I get any comments back from Apple through the Feebback tool.

How can I view my 6D raw files before I open them in post processing?

How can I view my 6D raw files after I load them on my computer & before I open them on a post processing Program?
I have no problem doing that with my 1DX,1DIV or 5Dmk III. This problem exist with any sdhc card I use on the 6D, but not on any other camera with the same cards.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your computer doesn't have camera RAW support installed for a 6D. RAW isn't really a standard-format... it's more of a concept. Every individual camera has it's own unique RAW format (even though they all have the same .CR2 extension).
Each time a new camera comes out, companies that make RAW processing software will make an update available that adds that camera. You'll need to get that update and install it.

RAW files will not open in Elements 8

I downloaded and installed several actions for elements8 this afternoon. I also downloaded a couple intended for photoshop that were self installing. I clicked on landscap_and_sky_action_by_fcpr,rar. I thought It would open and I could install the action like the others. Apparently, it self-installed as if\t was supposed to( just in the woring program.) Some little time after that I tried to home a new RAW file downloaded from my camera. I got the error message, cannot open (file name and full path) because it is the wrong type of file.
I have tried to open the raw files with file open and file open as specifiying that the file is a raw file.
I also tried to open an older RAW file with the same results (previously open before today.)
This is the first time I have had this problem. I have been using RAW files for the last year and half without any problems.
My best guess is that rar file corrupted a file somewhere, but I have no clue where.
lastly, I uninstalled elements 8 and reinstalled it. Same problem. I did note that when uninstalling elements, it does not erase the directories and many of the files. I have hestiated doing that as I have a massive set of photos in the Organizer, have updated the RAW Camera database (worked fine after that) and added several features (effects) to elements.
Any suggestions on a fix.
Ed

I removed the pior ACR and renamed it in case I needed it before installing the new one. The new one has been working for a year+ without any problems. This is a brand new problem.
I think I have found the problem. I installed Optikverve's Vitural Photographer yesterday. I thought it was a stand alone like the studio. I found that it installed inside Elements. That was just prior to Elements starting to refuse to open RAW files. Everything else (that I have checked ) seems to work fine. That says to me that program is the problem.
I have just finished a negative virus scan on the computer and I am getting ready to back up Organizer to an external hard drive. I am going then to remove Elements and wipe out out the files and directory structure that remains. I will then install Elements. That should put it back at "as new" state. I will have reinstall the new ACR files and the other addons. At least, it should work again. (I hope.)
