.RW2 File "Cannot open because it is the wrong type of file" - P.E. 9

I just got the new Panesonic Lumix DMC-G3 and took some pictures with it today and found that Photoshop Elements couldn't open the pictures because they were the "wrong type of file".  Now the file format is a  Raw .RW2 and I have opened many of them before in the past and they have been just fine! I think it may be that Photoshop isn't updated yet, because I checked and I had no new updates but do any of you have any ideas as to how I could fix this?! (Besides switching to JPEG)
ADOBE IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE SO YOUR CONSUMERS CAN OPEN THE LUMIX DMC-G3'S RAW FILES! THANK YOU!

Every camera model has its own raw format, and Adobe can't update the camera raw plug-in until it gets the information from the manufacturer, and the process takes a while. You shouldn't have to wait more than a couple of months for this. In the meantime you can use the manufacturer's software, or try downloading the latest DNG converter to see if it can make DNG files from your camera that will work in ACR.
Incidentally, you're not talking to adobe here, just to other users like yourself.
The standlalone DNG converter download is here:

Just pick the DNG Converter  for your platform from the pulldown menu.

  • Elements 9 saved file "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"

    I have Windows XP.  I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9.
    I open a raw, tiff or jpg image in Elements 9, make changes to it and then save it as a tiff or jpg.
    About a third of the time the icon for the saved image appears as a file and not a thumbnail of the image in my saved folder.
    When I try to re-open it in Elements 9 I get the message "Cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"
    I never had this problem with Elements 7.
    Please help!

  • Trying to open Camera Raw results in 'wrong type of document' error

    I had to do a recovery yesterday, and luckily had everything backed up.  So....All seems well now,  but when I loaded some photos from my camera and tried to open the CR image, I got that message.  Cannot open because it is the wrong type of document.  Grrrrrrrr.....  I'm running windows xp and cs3.

    Open Photoshop/help/about plug-in/camera raw.  You should have one and only one copy listed.
    It is really not in the plug-in folder for other functions.  It should be in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats.  It there it should be a plug-in icon that says camera raw.8bi.
    What does your system say?

  • I worked on a Photshop file yesterday, but today, I received a notification that the file cannot open because it is incompatible. Please help!

    The notification simply states that the file is incompatible with my current version of Photoshop, which is crazy because it was working fine until now and I need to work on this and multiple other files.

    Thank you!

  • Itunes cannot run because some of the required files are missing?

    This morning when I turned on my computer my itunes was suddenly not working. When I double click the desktop icon to open it up, I get an error message that reads:
    iTunes cannot run because some of the required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I searched the FAQ archive and still cannot find an answer to my problem.
    THe last part of the error message says to reinstall itunes, but I cannot even get the corrupt version off. Is there anyway to save the music I have on here? Another user and I have separate iTUnes music, so a great deal of music will be lost, including things recently purchased.

    Thank you so very much. I don't know why I didn't think of that but it is up and running fine now

  • How come when i open my itunes it says "itunes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." What do i do?

    last night i wanted to update my ipad to 4.3 and when i tried to; it told me i had to download the new itunes too. so i tried downloading the new updated version on itunes, and this morning when i tried to open my itunes it said "itumes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?

    With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

    Free VLC player for the Mac, check out the Icecast Radio Directory also

    If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program.

  • Cannot open because cannot locate original file

    I made a dumb mistake when I first started using LR and I thought files once downloaded into the catalogue were saved and accessible.  I removed the files from bridge and now I cannot open them in my catalogue.  My photos will show up in LR, but the message says "cannot open because cannot locate original file" 
    I can SEE them, I just can't do anything with them.  Is there anyway to recover these files? 

    What you are seeing in LR is simply a thumbnail of what was in your LR catalogue. I guess though there is no harm in trying to export what you see in LIghtroom, as a jpg but I can't thjink that would work.
    So you imported all into Lightroom and then went into Bridge and deleted them from Bridge and therefore off your drive as well. And no backup? Just trying to understand where things went sideways.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
    That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

  • The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
    My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
    When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
    The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

    I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
    I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
    I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
    Please help.

    NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
    As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
    and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
    I have added this .reg:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
    "LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
    "DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
    "AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
    "Description"="My file server"
    "AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
    "Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
    I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
    The same problem still persists.
    Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.
