RAW photo into Photshop CS5 as a Smart Object.

I am trying to open a RAW photo in Photohsop CS5 as a Smart Object. I have the photo selected in Bridge. When I go to execute File>Place in Bridge CS5 the menu entry indicates there should be a menu displayed. However, clicking on Place does not bring up a menu.
In Photoshop there is open a blank file to receive the photo.
Why do I not receive a menu?

Are you not seeing all the buttons?
Normally I have ACR set to "Open Image" in Photoshop. By temporarily holding down the SHIFT key the "Open Image" button will change to "Open Object"
This is what I did while creating this screenshot. There is also the tool tip showing up in the screenshot.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5. I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work. I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files. I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not. Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
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 (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
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 (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

How to copy objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution?

I recently have bought a new Macbook Pro (Version 10.10.1) with the OS X Yosemite. The computer comes with the new Pages (version 5.5.1).
Here is the problem: I like to create artwork using the shapes on Pages. Previously, on my old mac, I used Pages 4.3 to create objects, which I would copy then paste to Photoshop and it would become a vector smart object. However, in the new Pages (version 5.5.1), when I copy objects, they would appear on Photoshop as instead, a layer and it would not be in full resolution.
Also, I know there is nothing wrong with the Pages file itself because I have converted the document to PDF form and it is high resolution when inserted into Photoshop that way.
Does anyone know how I can copy individual objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution as I have done before?
Thanks!

copy the image and have it in a high-quality PNG format that does not include the background from the Pages document.
Oh, well if you don't actually need vector objects then it looks like this is possible. As I said earlier, Pages is putting a PNG on the clipboard. I tested it and it does paste into Photoshop as a transparent layer, because I can see the transparent background of the pasted PNG graphic if I either turn off all layers behind it in Photoshop, or if I start a new Photoshop document to paste into but make sure I choose Transparent for the Background Contents in the New Document dialog.

I cannot get Raw to reopen after clicking on a smart object can anyone help?

I cannot get RAW to reopen when double clicking a smart object?
Any advice on troubleshooting?

If you open Bridge, and ctrl or cmd r on a jpeg, does Adobe camera raw open?

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Placing photos into ID CS5

I upgraded to Lion and I'm using ID CS5 version 7.0.4. I don't know if my problem is with ID or with the Apple Media Browser. I just know that I can't place additional photos into my ID document after I place the first one. The only way I can place another is to quit ID and restart it. They I can place another photo from Aperture. But again, if I want to place more than one after opening ID, then I'd have to quit ID and restart it.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do about it and whether it's an issue with Adobe ID or Apple Media Browser?
Thanks.

Thank you, John for you comments and willingness to help. My photos in Aperture are managed by Aperture. That means they are stored in my Aperture library file and not in a finder folder.
After placing the first photo into ID (and that works) if I go back to place a second photo, the "Open" button never becomes active. That's probably why double-clicking the selection just causes it to get bigger and bring it to the front of all the other photos. I never noticed this before that the "Open" button was grayed out when I couldn't place the photo. The fact that it works the first time after opening ID and then doesn't, causes me to wonder if there's some incompatibility between ID CS5 and Mac OS Lion.
If I export from Aperture to the Desktop I can use the "Place" command over and over again to pick up the files that are there.
The problem with putting the files on the desktop, placing them from there, and then choosing "relink" is that I can't relink it if the file is gone. I get the same problem as described above with the open button never becoming active. And trying to discover through the finder where that photo is stored in the "belly" of the Aperture library file is almost impossible.
I know that I could export the files to the desktop, place them, and then "embed" them into the ID file I'm working with, but that's just a lot of extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.
Hopefully this gives a better understanding.
Thanks.

Importing RAW photos into iPhoto 6

I recently upgraded to iLife '06 for the sole purpose of working with RAW photos. I kept getting error message "Unreadable file(s)", so I thought i'd upgrade to OS 10.4.5. Still I receive the same error message. I can click on the file and see it's profile and a thumbnail by using "Get Info", but I cannot import the RAW files into iPhoto 6 at all. Online and phone tech support keeps telling me to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as it may have something to do with deleted RAW photo in the Library. Well, I even tried to import these same RAW photos on a friend's brand-spankin'-new G5, which only had 10 photos in his Library and no deleted photo at all, but sadly this was to no avail. The same error message comes up when trying to import.
Background; the camera used is supported by iPhoto 6 (Nikon e5700), and the files are not corrupted as far as i can tell. I was able to import jpegs from the same camera card at the same time I attempted to import the RAW pix.

Solved: This response has solved my problem completely.
Actually, only Apple's engineering staff can solve my issue, but you answered the question as completely as possible. All that time on the phone and on the chat support and no one could give me that straight answer. Sad to think I upgraded iLife and my OS for the sole purpose of reading RAW photos from a camera they claimed to have supported on their own website. Someone at Apple better get on the stick.

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

I have downloaded RAW photos into IPhoto but they show up as JPEG, please help

Why do my RAW photos show up as JPEG when I download to IPhoto 11?

Betty,
do you have a camera with supported raw format? What is your MacOS X version?

And where exactly do you see your raw files as jpeg? When exporting? After editing?

NEF file opening in CS5 as a smart object

My CS5 recently started opening up all my Nikon raw files as smart objects. I don't want that. How do I make it stop? This never happened before nor am I aware of me changing any of the settings. Any help would be great. Thanks

I never changed anything in my preference that i'm aware of. I don't even
know what smart objects are. Nor did I want it in the first place.
To clearify. I usually open a folder containing NEF files and then drag and
drop the file over the CS5 program in my dock. Then it brings me to the
Camera Raw menu and I click open and then it opens the file as a smart
object. TIA

After latest Photoshop CC update, I can no longer edit a raw file in Lightroom 4 as a smart object

I updated PS this morning, since then I am no longer able to edit a file in LIghtroom 4 as a smart object in Photoshop CC. Photoshop will open, but after some time passes, Lightroom 4 gives an error that Photoshop cannot be launched. If I choose "edit in photoshop" from lightroom, instead of "edit as smart object", the file opens fine.
Thanks for your time!

After loading a JPEG file into adobe CC as a smart object and trying to resize image I get big jagged edges around the picture.

Also, the anti-aliasing box isn't checked but is greyed out so I can't check it. How can I fix this issue? Thanks for any help!

Smart object layers transform like pixel layers. The resize may be using your default interpolation method. If you left it at Adobe default setting Bicubic Automativ and you are down sizing a sharpen image it may be using Bicubic Sharper. When Bicubic Sharper is used on sharpened image jagged artifacts may happen. Try changing your Photoshop Interpolation preference to plain bicubic. I'm not a fan of Bicubcr Automatic or Bicubic Sharper. I will use Bicubic Sharper when I re-size my soft unsharpen images for the web.

Canon T4i and can't load RAW photos into Photoshop 5.1. Is there an extension or plug in for this?

The question says it all. Trying to load my RAW pictures from my Canon T4i using Photoshop 5.1. It says it does not recognize this version of RAW. Help?
Is there an extension or Plug in?
I remember it used to work until I did an update.

Photoshop 5.x is ancient, from last millennium. I'll assume you meant Photoshop CS5.1.
The highest version of ACR, the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in, that will run on Photoshop CS5.x, is ACR 6.7.
The Digital Rebel T4i = EOS 650D = EOS Kiss X4i was supported by ACR for the very first time in ACR 7.1, which needs at least Photoshop CS6 to run.
Your recollection is faulty. You will never be able to open raw files from that camera directly from CS5.1.
You need to look for, download and run the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1 on each and every batch of Canon raw files from that camera in order to convert them into raw DNGs that you can open in your versions of Photoshop and ACR.

Can we import RAW photos into iphoto?

My brother-in-law has many photos from past reunions that are in RAW format. Can we import these into iphoto and have it work? I really want the photos but he thinks it won't work.
What are the steps? He says the file sizes are very large

That's not enough.
The Raw format of each camera model - not make, model - is different. So the Raw of the Nikon D40 is not the same as the Raw from a D60, which is different from the D80 and so on.
But hey, have you tried plugging it in and seeing if it will import?
