RAW will not open in Bridge CS3

I cannot open a RAW file in Bridge CS3--there is no "open RAW.." in the menus, the shortcuts do not work. I will only open RAWs in PSCS3. I have the Extended version.
I have tried reseeting the settings in both Bridge and PS. Makes no difference.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried a completely clean install from scratch--OS + CS3?
That will work for sure, but it means starting over with your computer OS install from scratch--a completely clean full format of your disk before starting.
There is obviously something on there that conflicts with it now. The same thing happened to a guy I work with. He tried for two weeks. I had the same problem on one of my machines. I simply started from zero, and so did he. Works perfectly. On my other machine it went right on without a hitch along with the other twenty or so apps that were already on there! Go figure.
Look at it this way, if you want ACR 4 in Bridge, starting over will probably take about one tenth the time you've spent trying to troubleshoot it!

  • Nikon camera RAW will not open in PS CS3 on Win 8

    I have photoshop CS3 extended ver 10 and Elements 6.  I installed both on a new PC with windows 8.  PS will not open my RAW files taken with my Nikon D40X although Elements will.  PS opens tiff and jpeg.  I went to Adobe updates and tried to install ACR 4.6 (Camera raw 8bi.)  The Error message for bothe the opening RAW files and installing the update is, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I uninstalled PS and Elements and reinstalled just PS.  Same problems. I transfer the RAW files from my camera to computer by copying them through a card reader. 
    Thanks for any help.

    PS and PSE each have a different place to put the  .8bi file, so manually do the updated according to the instructions for each product on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4040
    Re-installing PS or PSE will revert the ACR plug-in for that software back to the oldest version that originally came with that version of software so you’ll need to update using the contents of the ZIP file, again.
    You can do a Help / About Plug-in… / Camera Raw… in PSE and PS to see what version you have installed in each.  Plug-ins are scanned at startup, so you’ll want to restart each product after doing the manual install.

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Raw thumbnails will not display in Bridge CS3

    I am using Bridge CS3 and Photoshop Elements 7 (the OS is Vista).  I can open raw files OK via Bridge, and PSE will launch correctly as well, but the thumbnails in Bridge are only the file icons for the raw files, never images.  .jpg files are fine.  I have loaded the latest converter, but the problem in Bridge continues.  Any suggestions?

    I  am using CS4 and had the same problem in Windows 7. I ran a check for  update, ran the update, opened Bridge and still got icons...then I  refreshed and all is working fine now, I can see my CR.2 files.
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Adobe camera raw will not respond in bridge cs6?

    adobe camera raw does not respond in adobe bridge? I am trying to open Jpegs, which i have previously been able to do so by right clicking and opening in adobe camera raw. Now it is unresponsive.

    You are definitely in the wrong forum for Bridge CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus).
    You probably want to be posting in the Photoshop Forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
    My preliminary findings suggest possible workaround
    a. Open camera raw in Photoshop 5 or 5.5 and then open edited raw image in Bridge CS6
    or
    b. There is a preferences route to check out.
    Not being a Photoshop user, this is a quick suggestion where you might start looking. This is apparently a known issue.
    The Photoshop users should be able to give you all the details and options you have for workarounds for now.

  • Camera Raw Will Not Open .CR2 Photo Files

    I use Photoshop 7.0 with a Windows Vista operating system. Camera Raw in Elements will not recognize the Canon .CR2 Raw photo files that I download from my Canon 50D using a card reader. I even downloaded the new Camera Raw 5.1 from Adobe with the same results. Any ideas?

    Indeed, I stand corrected:
    Windows:
    Photoshop Elements 6.0 and 7.0: Camera Raw 5.x
    Photoshop Elements 5.0: Camera Raw 4.6
    Photoshop Elements 4.0: Camera Raw 3.7
    Photoshop Elements 3.0: Camera Raw 3.6
    Macintosh:
    Photoshop Elements 6.0: Camera Raw 5.x
    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6
    Photoshop Elements 3.0: Camera Raw 3.6
    (The following page can be confusing, with versions of ACR intermingling with versions of PSE, and different versions than the headings being listed.)

  • NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

    Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
    I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
    I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    Barb

    I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
    You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

  • Canon 5D RAW files not opening in Photoshop CS3

    Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
    Hey Ho!
    I did a photoshoot at a friend's studio last week, using his Canon 5D as it was all set up with the lights etc etc.
    He saved the files for me as RAW - *.CR2 - as I am used to using with my 450D. The only difference I can see is that his files are numbered like this:
    _MG_1791.CR2
    whereas mine would have an "I" at the front - like it would be:
    IMG_1791.CR2
    I cannot open his files in my Photoshop CS3 - I get the error "Cannot complete your request as it is not the right type of file" or similar. I have no problems opening my own CR2 files from my 450D.
    I have searched this issue on the Adobe forums, as well as other photography forums, and they say to download the plugin update remove the old one and replace it with the new. I have tried following step-by-step, but I still can't get it to work.
    If anyone has come across a similar problem, I would be greatful to hear what you did.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am trying the DNG converter again, and it seems to be converting this time - maybe I didn't do it right last time... I hope that CS3 will be able to read the DNG files - will let you know how it goes shortly!

  • Camera Raw will not open my Canon 7D MarkII raw files

    Hello! I recently got a Canon 7D Mark II for Christmas and took my first photo today. When I try to open my RAW file in photoshop it says it cannot open that file type, check to make sure  your updates are current. I did this and it says they are for both Bridge and Photoshop. I checked to make sure my camera is on the list for compatibility and it is. Do not know what else to do. I have a PC and Adobe Photoshop CS6. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    You need ACR 8.7.1 to support your 7D Mark II. Here is the link: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

  • Dng will not open in bridge

    I converted arw files from a Sony RX10011 to dng with Photoshop DNG converter successfully,
    placing the file in 'My Pictures'. When I open the dng files  and try to put them in bridge so as
    see the images, bridge puts the files in arw form and can't recognize them. (although tey are dng files
    in "MY Pictures). How do I correct this? I can bring images from 'My Pictures" dng file into P.Shop.

    What do you mean when you say that Bridge puts them in arw form?

  • Camera Raw - will not open raw files from a supported camera

    does anyone know a solution for camera raw to recognize my raw files, I just upgraded to cs6 and it is a supported camera. I've updated and it still won't work any solutions?

    I should have asked which OS version do you have on the Mac?  The current ACR plug-in requires 10.7 or newer and if you’re still on 10.6.x then the updater might not do anything because your OS is too old.
    The first thing to try is Help / Updates and see if there is a newer version.
    If that doesn’t work, then you can manually install ACR 8.3, the last version compatible with OS X 10.6.x, from here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html
    And if your OS is new enough, then you can install whatever the latest version (currently ACR 8.7.1) from here:

  • Vista/Elements 5.0 RAW will not open

    I installed the Raw plug in 4.3.1 on XP and it worked fine. On a new computer with Vista I installed 5.02 to make Elements 5.0 work with Vista. Everything works but my ability to use/import RAW files from my Canon Rebel XTi which worked fine with XP. Any advice/support from Adobe?

    Hello,
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.

  • Files from Windows Vista do not open in Bridge CS5

    I am having trouble opening my images from Window Explorer level with Bridge.
    I tried to open my jpgs with "open with" option  and my PC does nothing. Same happens when I double click the raw images.
    I have my jpgs assigned to open in windows but I assigned my raw files to open in Bridge CS5 unfortunately raws will not open after double click.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks

    Perhaps it is just semantics, but you want the double click to open in Photoshop CS5 and not Bridge.  Same thing with the raw it should open in ACR and not Bridge, as Bridge is just a browser.
    With your raw problem.  If you open photoshop and click help/about plug-in/camera raw you should get one version listed.  Most camera raw problems result from ACR in wrong folder, or more than one version in the folder.
