Reading Raw files in CS4

I am trying to open Olympus raw files in CS4 and it keeps telling me that it is the wrong type of file. I have downloaded and installed DNG converter and the PS updater and STILL the program won't open Oly raw files (Tells me it's the wrong kind of file). What DO I DO to make this work? I am anxious to work in raw, but so far have been unable to figure out how!!
HELP!
Beth

The DNG converter is a stand-alone program and does't have to "go" anywhere special.
What model of camera do you have?

CR2 (Raw) files in CS4

Hey all, I seem to have ran into some trouble when trying to read .CR2 files with CS4. I've downloaded Camera Raw 5.7 and I've checked the list of compatable devices and it includes my camera (Canon Powershot 12). I'm trying to open through Photoshop itself, not through Bridge. I've also updated through Help->Updates, with no change.
The error message I get is "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I'm a novice with the software, so if there's any info I've missed off that I should include then just ask.
Thanks in advance.

As you have noted, there is no Canon PowerShot <anything>12 in the Camera Raw 5.7 list:

The DNG converter may be a better way to go than shooting JPEGs... With the DNG converter, you convert your raw files to .DNG files, which Photoshop CS4 / Camera Raw 5.7 can open. You retain all the quality advantages and conversion control of shooting Raw images but with one extra step required.

Opening Canon 5d MarkIII raw files in CS4?

I'm unable to find an update that will allow me to open Canon 5d Mark III raw files in CS4. I've downloaded a few updates, but nothing seems to be working. Help!

Convert the 5D Mark III Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS4.

To edit 5D Mark III Raw files, you need at least ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 6.7 (preferably 7.1). ACR is a plugin for Photoshop which Adobe must continually update on a camera by camera basis.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cam eras.html
CS6 was the first version to support ACR 7.1. CS5 supported ACR 6.x.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applic ations.html
If you really want to edit Raw files, you would now be required to join the Creative Cloud since CS4 is no longer eligible to upgrade to CS6 or any version thereafter.
Your other option would be to buy a new full version of Photoshop CS6 (superseded today by the new version Photoshop CC which is only available via the Adobe Cloud).

Can't open canon raw files in cs4

I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

Hi John,
Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.
Regards,
Doug

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi and XTi without any problem.

What Noel said.
FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2. You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

Reading RAW files from Nikon D600 in CS5.

I have installed the latest plug in updates for camera raw into cs5 but still cannot read raw files. Any advice? Many thanks in advance.

Support for the D600 was added in Camera Raw 7.3 which will only work in Photoshop CS6. You choise is to update to CS6 or doenload the free DNG Converter 7.3 (scroll down to the Downloads) and convert the D600 NEF files to DNG DNG files.

Need help reading raw files!

Help please! Cannot read raw files of my Nikon D5000. Have downloaded Camera Raw 5.3 and followed instruvctions. 5.3 supports the D90 which is supposedly essential the same. Any suggestions?

Read the posts in the following link:-
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?p=463255#post463255
Try the DNG converter or the DPP software supplied with your camera until ACR 5.4 is finalized, as suggested in the posts.
I have read that there is a way to get the Release Candidate 5.4 installed in PSE 6/7 but you need some skills in understanding computer files.

How can I get Elements 13 to read RAW files from Nikon D750?

I've upgrade my camera from the Nikon D3200 to the Nikon D750. With the D3200, I used Elements 11 to edit both JPEG and RAW files, but found out today Elements 11 isn't compatible with the D750 to read RAW files. I downloaded the trial version of Elements 13--which is compatible per the Adobe help desk, but the RAW files shot with the D750 still aren't being seen; however, I do see RAW files that I took with the D3200.
Same memory card is being used and I formatted the card when I changed it from one camera to the other.
What am I doing wrong? I almost always shoot RAW, so I need to be able to the files.
I'm wondering if Elements 13 really is compatible with the D750.
I want to add I'm using a MAC.
Thank you!
Shannon

I was able to figure out the issue--the D750 files must be converted to DNG files first, then I can upload them to Elements and edit them as I would a RAW file.
If anyone else is having this issue, I found the video helpful: Learning | LR/PS - The Advantages of the DNG File Format | Photoshop.com.
You can find the free DNG converter here: Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
This works for both MAC and Windows.

Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1
