Raw plugin photoshop CS3 not working

Have a new laptop Samsung QX412, can't get raw to open in photoshop cs3. It works in my desktop. Laptop running windows 7 (64) Home. Photoshop shows "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Have updated both photoshop CS3 and bridge. Photo's being saved in bridge from camera, Canon 50D. Have tried comments from windows forum. Still no go. As someone else has said, I'm a photographer not an IT expert and starting to get quite frustrated. I would appreciate help. Thankyou.

To use Windows effectively, sometimes you just have to get into the technical aspects of using the computer...
Search your system in the vicinity of the folders used for Photoshop plug-ins (e.g., under C:\Program Files\Common Files) for multiple copies of the file Camera Raw.8bi and note the dates/sizes.  Somehow, because of a mistake in trying to install it, I suspect you have multiple copies, and Photoshop is still using one other than the one you installed.
Normally, Photoshop CS3 will look for Camera Raw.8bi in this location:
(on a 32 bit operating system):  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
(on a 64 bit operating system): C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
The Camera Raw 4.6 plug-in file on my system has these characteristics (note specifically the size).

  • Camera Raw Plugin PSE6 MAC Not Working

    I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw Plugin for a MAC - for Photoshop Elements 6. I followed the instructions included in the readme file, copied the Camera Raw Plugin file to where the instructions said to but it doesn't work.  From Bridge, from the "file" dropdown menu, instead of an option to open in Camera Raw, it says "Check Plugin".  Since Camera Raw Version 5.3 didn't work, I deleted it and downloaded an earlier version (4.6) installed it as per the instructions but I still can't open a photo in Camera Raw. It still says to "Check Plugin".  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Gilda

    Gilda:
    Here is where I copied the Camera Raw Plugin file - Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
    Barbara, I don't know the first thing about this, but I do remember (when looking for something else) reading
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407456.html
    which says that the latest plug-in should be put in the ../Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/ folder and the
    equivalent Bridge folder.
    As I say, I've no idea whether this has any bearing on Gilda's problem.

  • Photoshop CS3 not working

    Hi, I have CS3, and recently, while working in Photoshop, several functions that would normally be available suddenly didn't work. The most obvious of which was that it did not allow me to set up a new file according to the specifications I would like. My only choices were preset options. Not sure what to do.. Uninstall, reinstall? Is there a setting on my Mac that I need to change? Any help would be appreciated!

    That seemed to do it! Thank you.

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    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 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Why did my copy of Photoshop CS3 stop working? The message tells me that Adobe has stopped licensing it. I love it. I want to use it. How?

    My copy of Photoshop CS3 has stopped working. I love it. I am very familiar with it. I paid hundreds of dollars for it. When I click on it (W/my MAC) I get a message that reads: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the product by contacting Adobe Customer Support."
    So how do I repair it so it works again? I've called the "Chat" forum three times and they do nothing. Please help...I use this Photoshop CS3 for work.
    I have the serial number, but not the original disc which was damaged.
    Thank you in advance.

    I am trying to run it under Mac OS 10.9.5

    The simplest way to clear it up is usually a re-install. Here is a link to the installers: Download CS3 products. Have your serial number ready.
    If this fails, I am going to direct you to this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1714695 Start at post #11.

    Hi Hardy Tasso,
    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Version Cue CS3 not working. Photoshop not opening.

    Hello,
    I have just installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard on my new MacBook Pro. I have activated it. However when i start Version Cue CS3 and check for updates i get the message "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and /or firewall. Waiting for connection...". I have turned off my firewall and the antivirus program and I still cannot get it to work.
    I also cannot start Photoshop CS3. When I open the application a blank window titled "Adobe Design Suit Standard CS3" appears as well as Photoshop toolbars which I cannot select. All the options on the toolbar is greyed out and I cannot select any of them. I have to force quit the application.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Camera raw and Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom

    (2.5) If I open a raw image from Windows Explorer or Bridge (which I don't use much), Camera Raw 4.6 opens. It doesn't open if I Edit In Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom, but says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.5 for full compatibility. Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3".
    There are two choices: Render using Lightroom and Open Anyway. If I say the former, it doesn't use the file name, but does something like -2.tif.
    I'm not sure what these two choices actually do.
    Secondly, if things were working properly, would Lightroom actually open the Camera Raw window? If so, is there anything I can do short of upgrading PS to CS4?
    Thanks.

    Just a little history of the profiles being displayed for your camera model. The camera calibration tab only displays the profiles that are specific to your camera and model. The earler profiles were named after the version of ACR that was in use when they were created.
    So.
    ACR 4.2 the first profile created for your camera model when support was introduced.
    ACR 4.4, Adobe created/ updated new profiles for most of the supported camera models with this release of ACR.
    Adobe Standard Beta, updated profile when the Beta of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0 were introduced.
    Adobe Standard, Updated profile for the final release of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0. This then is the latest profile created for your camera model. I think it should be the closest to your camera standard.
    Adobe did not create any other camera matching profiles Vivid, Neutral etc other than for the more popular Nikon and Canon models.  I have an Olympus so I am in the same boat.

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update not working

    I have photoshop CS5 and need to edit camera raw images. I downloaded and installed the 6.7 camera raw plug in update, but it's still not working! HELP!

  • "Edit in PS-CS3" not working

    Since I installed LR2/2.1, when trying a "Edit in PS-CS3" on a CR2 raw image, PSCS3 opens up, but with the "Open as" window dialog opened up, instead of the image. JPG´s and PSD files behave correctly, though. If I do go ahead and locate the file on the "Open as" dialog, and complete the PS edit, and then "Save", LR doesn´t notice it, and I need to "Import" the new PSD file onto LR. Obviously, LR and PS are not talking to each other.
    Tried exporting to 8-bit, and also tried completely uninstalling and re-installing both PSCS3 and LR2.1, with no success. Adobe tech. support couldn´t help either. This is a most annoying bug.
    Tried on LR 2 & 2.1. PS is 10.0.1, ACR is 4.5, on a Vista desktop.

    Sorry, what i meant by user accounts is this.
    On my Imac, i've created 2 user accounts.  User A and User B. when I log in as User A and use lightroom and CS6 everything works fine.  When I log in as User B, I have the issue with lightroom not opening raws in photoshop.  Both users are using the system applications.
    Ah, OK so I assume the admin account works, the other doesn't? Have to say I'm not savvy enough to understand what Photoshop/LR need in terms of items in the main account to make this all work. I might have to try that test on this end as I have two accounts too. I use the 2nd for trouble shooting. I suspect the primary account has something, somewhere in the user Library installed by Adobe that is accessed where it might not be in account #2.
    If one account works, the other doesn't, we have to pinpoint what files are missing from the account that doesn't work.

  • Camera raw plugin for cs3 for Nikon D3000

    Does anyone know if there is a plugin for CS3 extended to allow me to veiw/edit camera raw NEF files shot with a Nikon D3000?

    Hello, as stated on this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html the first version of Camera Raw that supported the NEFs of the D3000 is 5.5.
    Unfortunately, it is not compatible with CS3. You should use Camera Raw 4.6, Win | Mac and convert the NEF to DNG files with the DNG converter: (Windows® | Mac OS)  more info:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
