RAW photos in Photoshop

I just shot photos with my new Canon t3i in RAW. How can I open and edit them in PS8.0?

You can't. Those files require at least ACR 6.4 and that only comes with PSE 9 and above. You need to upgrade. Full info here:

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Importing into iPhoto, edited RAW photos from Photoshop CS3

    I edit all my photos in Photoshop CS3. Sometimes I just batch edit many of them. But when I import these edited images, iPhoto only shows them in unedited form. How do I import these edited images into iPhoto, and yet maintain the edits.
    I am a professional photographer, and the only reason I need to import these images into iPhoto, is that I use the web galleries as the viewing tool for my clients.
    Thanks.

    coxpix:
    When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for display and editing with by iPhoto. Therefore, when you edit a RAW with CS3 you must import the new edited version, of whatever format you chose to save as, and use that one. It's the nature of the beast. All edits to RAW files when saved must be saved as a new file.
    For what it's worth, the following may be of some help in using CS3 with iPhoto:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to keep the new changes of a raw photo in Photoshop cs6?

    With photoshop cs5 and prior, after editing a raw photo, the system will automatically keep the new changes so that next time when i open the raw file, it will appear with the new changes. however cs6 doesn't seem to have this function anymore. Is it right? how can i do this with cs6?

    What do you do after making the changes?  Either opening the edited RAW file, or clicking on  Done will create the sidecar (XMP) files which contain all of the information about your adjustments.  The next time you open that RAW file, it will look for an XMP file with the same file name, and use the information contained in it.
    If you delete the XMP files, it's back to square one! 
    You deleted them to save space?  A typical XMP file is probably less than 10kb, which is a tiny fraction of the size of the RAW file.  You need to rethink your strategy.

  • Raw Photos and photoshop

    Hi all.
    i have about 1000 wedding photos i need to review and edit in Photoshop, they are currently on camera cards..
    in my experience if i import them the 'normal' route into iPhoto, 1, photoshop doesn't find them and 2, if it does find them, it doesn't like opening them.
    whats the best way to get them into a folder for easy access by photoshop so that i can then save them to another folder and export them back out onto a storage device for giving to a printer.  in my current experience and from reading other people's queries on here, iPhoto is not great at playing nice
    many thanks

    Hi there spincat123,
    You can you Image Capture to import RAW photos to a folder. Take a look at the section "Get images from your camera via Image Capture" in the article below for more information.

  • Blurry raw photos in Photoshop cc

    Have you tried purging the Camera RAW cache under Camera Raw Preferences?

  • When I open a raw photo in photoshop I am getting a yellow exclamation point for a second. What does it mean?

  • How do I display RAW photos from Photoshop Elements 11 on Apple TV?

    Hi,
    Ever since I got my Apple TV 3rd gen I have been able to simply turn on itunes and stream my albums from photoshop without an issue.  The shots are mostly RAW and came out perfectly on the big screen.  They also still appear on my ipad without any issues at all.  However... Yesterday I switched on the PC and Apple TV and where the raw shots had been there are now just blank spaces in every album.  They are all numbered so Apple is recognising where the files are and counting them but none can be displayed.  I am now reading that Apple TV can't read raw files but I'm not going mad, I have bored dozens to death with my slîde shows so I must have done something or updated something which has thrown a spanner in the works
    A few details
    Windows 7
    Mcafee security
    Photoshop elements 11
    Home sharing is on PC, iphone 4, original ipad with same passwords
    All albums/raw shots are viewable on PC and ipad
    I have reset everything...repeatedly
    When googling this I find no one with the same issue!
    Help....please!

    You can either drag them in Organizer workspace or import the folder. Or you can also use Adobe Photo Downloader. There are many options listed here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

  • I can't open raw photos in Photoshop 5.1 coming from my nikon7100... is there a solution?

    When I try to open a raw file produced by my Nikon D70100, I get this message from my Photoshop CS5.1
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw".
    Does anyone know what to do???

    The D7100 requires Camera Raw plug-in version 7.4 or higher.  Your CS5.x can only host up to ACR 6.something so you either need to buy a payfor upgrade to a newer version of PS (CS6 or CC) or use the free DNG Converter to make DNGs from your NEFs and open the DNGs in an older version of PS/ACR.
    The DNG Converter can be found, here:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
    The cheapest option for PS-CC is the Photography Bundle for $10/month:

    CS6 is still available, here:

  • 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.

  • How to read canon CR2 raw photos in photoshop elements 8 ?

    I have PSE 8 for several years and purchased recently a new Canon Camera delivering raw pictures in CR2 format.
    This format is not recognized by PSE 8.
    What can I do ?

    Your version of PSE is too old to be able to use a compatible version of Adobe Camera Raw. You have three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 11.
    2. Use DPP that came with the camera to do your raw conversions and then use PSE for additional editing for the converted tiff files when needed.
    3. Use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to a format your older version of ACR can parse. Mytaxsite gave you the link to the windows converter. Here's a link to the mac version:

  • Iphoto won't transfer raw file to photoshop

    I can't stransfer raw files to photoshop even though I have set the preferences. I would like to have all the photos show as raw in iphoto, and transfer as raw to photoshop, but can't seem to do that either. I can edit the photo in iphoto as raw, but can't move the raw photo to photoshop. Richard

    Rather than dragging it over, reinstall it:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

    how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

    Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

  • Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

    Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a  problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw  5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My  computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz  CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is  version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
    What I am  having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of  these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type  such as PNG or jpg.
    I have attached a screen capture of  what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before  opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a  difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on  other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get  this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
    As  far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still  running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this  without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

    I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
    With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.
