Trouble with Camera Raw Plug-in

Hello, Can someone please help...I just started shooting in RAW and have installed the Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in with DNG Converter version 4.6 for Photoshop CS3, but still cannot open my .CR2 files! They are filed under: Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/File Formats. Could the problem be that it's filed incorrectly? Do I need to do something else other than choosing "Open" under the File menu in Photoshop?
Thanks for any help you can provide?

No, no, no!

No, I'm also running Mac OS X, and the screen shot shows the ONLY correct location.
Quit Photoshop AND Bridge, put the ACR plug-in in the correct location, then re-launch both Photoshop and Bridge.
You will probably need to Purge the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder containing raw files.
Where you put it, Bridge cannot see it, and it will cause you performance problems and give you all kinds of grief later on.

That was a monumentally… err… …unwise move. Undo it ASAP.

Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

Can't open RAW Nikon files (NEF) using PS3 10.0 running 10.6.8 , think there is a conflict with camera Raw plug-in. Can't open raw images in bridge or photoshop.

I think I may have a Camera Raw plug-in conflict or plug in may be in the wrong place. In both PS3 and Bridge Nikon raw files (NEF) will not open. I've noticed that in photoshop in the pull down menu-about plug-in, I have 2 Camera Raw (s) listed, getting info one is 4.0, the other 4.6.0.30. It appears that my files and .xmp are 4.0 just by searching for 'Camera Raw' either 4. or 4.6 in spotlight. nothing is listed in spotlight under camera raw 4.6, but all my images are listed in the spotlight if I search for camera raw 4.0! I can not open either in Bridge or Photoshop CS3 I just receive the error message 'could not complete this request because photoshop does not reconize this type of file'. any help would this is greatfully appreciated. Thanks

Well if you have a fairly new Nikon camera PS CS3 will not have the proper version of ACR to support that camera.
You could use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNGs or you can update PS to a newer version that does have support for newer cameras or you could buy Adobe Lightroom V4 which also has support for the newer Nikon cameras.

Trouble with camera raw 6.7

Hi everyone,
I'm on Mac, Photoshop CS5,1 all updated ok.
I have a new problem after processed an image from Bridge to Camera Raw, when I click "Finish" and I return to Bridge, it doesn't take into account changes made in Camera Raw and I do not have the 2 icons that tells me that the image was cropped and processed.
I purged the cache for bridge, and by running Bridge with the option key pressed, it still doesn't work.
Sometimes it works once time, other times it is necessary to restart the computer.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop from the DVD the problem persists
Has anyone had this problem ? any solution ?
Best regards
Pascal

How did you get the software to install it? Via the Help - Updates menu in Photoshop?

Need help with Camera Raw Plug In! PLEASE!

How do I get Camera Raw plug in v7.1 or better for PS 5

I have a Nikon 3200 and PS5 with Camera Raw Plug-In 6.7. Apparently I need Camera Raw Plug-In 7.1 or better but I can't find a download.
Any help gratefully awaited.

Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
There is no download for Camera Raw 7.1 for CS5 because CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 7.1 and never will be.
Thus, you cannot open Raw files from the D3200 in CS5.
Your options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud and get CC 2014
Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all D3200 Raw files to DNG format then open the DNGs in CS5
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)

I cannot access Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in although it's listed in CS6 "PHOTOSHOP" menu along with my other plug ins. And I can't find it on my iMAC (10.9.5)

In CS6, how do I access the Adobe Camera Raw plug in that's listed with my other (easily accessible) plug ins: I can't find it through "automate", or "Filter" or "extensions".. I am on iMAC 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

I believe camera raw as a filter is CC only. You can access camera raw by selecting a raw, tiff or jpg image from your drive. Raw is the only one that will open by default. You must tell camera raw to open tiff and jpg in the preferences.
You can also use file>open or file>place then specify camera raw as file type. In this case it will open any of the three formats without changing the preferences.
Once the image is in Photoshop, it should be a smart object if you choose open as object instead of open as image in camera raw. As a smart object, you can double click on the thumbnail in the layers panel. This will open camera raw with that image.

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks to anyone who can help!!

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks!!

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

Problems with layers after Camera RAW plug in installed

Hello all,
I am rather new to Photoshop, so please excuse what maybe an easy question, I have made a few images into black and white and added color to them in select parts. Not to long ago I downloaded the new Camera RAW plug in to work on NEF pics. Now I can not get the layers to work. For some reason it is not allowing me to remove the black and white layer and bring out the color. This is true in RAW-I get an Alpha Channel error if working in RAW or the brush will not work in the BW image saying it is not allowed on a layer?
What am I missing? I am thinking there is something really basic that I can not figure out. Any help is appreciated.
Mike

The Camera Raw plug-in is part of the original default Photoshop installation. If you downloaded a newer version, it should have replaced the original one. Where did you install it?
Layered files have absolutely nothing to do with Camera Raw.
However, you have not given us details and your description of your problem is far from clear. Please explain.

Lightroom Camera Raw Plug-in won't work with Panasonic RW2

I've just upgraded to Lightroom 5.7 (from 4) essentially to access the RW2 RAW files from my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 (DMC-TZ70) as this camera is supposed to be supported by the camera raw plug-in (link).
Basically I got fed up of messing with the DNG converter and wanted inbuilt support for these files.
However having installed 5, upgraded to 5.7 (& rebooted) it still won’t read these RW2 files - the import tells me that the RW2 format is not supported.
According to the About info I've got Lightroom 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7, installed. However I have download the camera raw plug-in 8.8 installer (link), copied it to the Lightroom directory and run it, but it's still saying Camera Raw 8.7 in the About screen and I still can’t access these files.
What am I doing wrong?

The link you posted had all the details to indicate that your camera is not currently supported by any release of Lightroom. It is only currently supported by Camera Raw version 8.8 which is a plug-in that cannot be used by Lightroom (and only by Photoshop). Adobe's free DNG Converter can be used to convert your RW2 files to DNG which is supported by any Lightroom release. Download it here:

Trouble converting RAW files with Camera RAW/DNG - CS4 Mac

Hello!
I am using CS4, with Camera RAW 5.7 and Adobe DNG 5.7. These are the versions listed as compatible with CS4. I am using a new Canon Powershot S100. Can I use newer versions of the RAW/DNG with CS4, or am I just out of luck? Please help!

Same story we hear again and again.
New camera, old software, and the often un-stated expectation that the software company should go out of its way to provide new camera support for free. First thought by those in the know is "you bought a new camera, why do you feel you don't need to buy new software to go with it?"
Those same folks who bought a new camera might never consider asking a camera manufacturer to make their new camera compatible with their old software. It's a funny disparity.
Adobe walks a tightrope of expectations. As it turns out, when you download the latest free DNG converter version they actually DO provide new camera support for free - it's just that converting to an intermediate file format is not quite as integrated or convenient as using the latest version of Photoshop with native support for that camera to just open the files directly. Nor do you get the SIGNIFICANT improvements in image quality that the newer converters provide.
Use the DNG converter, but if you care about your image quality you'll consider upgrading Photoshop. They really have made strides in raw conversion.

Bridge crashes with camera raw 4.4.1 installed, OK with 4.0

When I use Bridge with camera raw plugin 4.4.1 installed to navigate to a folder with at least one raw image shot with Sony Alpha 100, it consistently crashes. I can open the same image using Photoshop and Camera raw without a problem, so the image is not corrupted. Bridge works as expected with raw files from Sony Alpha 700.
If I revert to camera raw plugin 4.0 it works like a charm for Sony Alpha 100 pics, but my new Sony Alpha 700 is not supported.
I have tried using a clean user account, with no caches at all so that can not be the problem. I'm on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.3 and CS3.
Here is an excerpt from the crash log, showing that it is indeed the camera raw plugin causing the trouble:

I'm still looking for some help.
Now that I've learned a little bit more, let me try to restate my problem. In using both a Nikon D200 and a new Nikon D300. For software I'm using PS CS3 Extended Edition, as a part of Adobe's CS3 Design Premium suite. My Dell Inspiron 530 is running Vista Home Premium.
As I've said before, my problem is that I cannot open NEF files shot with either the D200 or D300 (and they are uncompressed NEF files). I downloaded the new Camera Raw plug-in, ver. 4.3.1, and unzipped it to \program files\common files\adobe\plug-in\CS3\file format. The Camera Raw.8bi file is dated 11/30/07 and is about 10,446,000 in size. Then I run a search of my hard drive to make sure there are no other Camera Raw files anywhere. Then, in PS Bridge, I purge the cache of the file folder where the NEF files are located. Then I try to open a NEF file and get the following error message in a PS CS3 Extended box:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Then, immediately afterwards I ran another search of my hard drive, and the Camera Raw.8bi file is GONE, DISAPPEARED, VANISHED.
Is the problem with the CS3 Entended Edition?
Can anyone help me out here, particularly you Nikon shooters?
Thanks for any advice.

Camera Raw Plug-in Question

First off, please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I'm still learning my way around CS5 and Lightroom so please bear with me. So when selecting any of the "Edit-In" options in Lightroom (as in Panorama, HDR in Photoshop etc) I get an error message that reads as follows:
"This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw Plug-In version 6.4.1 for full compatibility"
However, everything is updated for Lightroom and CS5. My Camera Raw version is 6.4.1.145. I wasn't getting the error message before so I'm not sure what changed (I hadn't even closed the program when I started receiving the error message).
Do I just un-install and reinstall the Camera Raw Plug-In to fix? Any suggestions or insights? I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Boilerplate-text:
Have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

You need to download and install Camera Raw 6.7.1 for CS5. Once you have downloaded it, you need to install it while CS5 is closed.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Once downloaded, unzip/unpack the file, and run the executable to start the update, following the instructions.

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.
