Unable to open RAW files in Photoshop elements 5.0

I am using Windows XP, camera is Nikon D80. When I try to download NEF files I receive an error that reads files did not transfer. Reason given reads incompatible format. I just downloaded program today and not really sure what I have done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

I have spoken to this gentleman again and I suspect his trouble has come from the copy of Elements 5 that he bought over the Internet. I think it was an incomplete copy. It doesn't seem to have included Bridge. Without the browser I doubt he would be able to see his RAW images.
As it stands, when he double-clicks on a RAW image it opens in the RAW converter but he doesn't have the "Open with Bridge" option in the File menu. Consequently, he has no way to see thumbnails of his RAW images and he can't make wise decisions on which ones he wants to work on.
I guess it goes without saying that if you get an especially great price on the Internet, something is wrong!

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

  • Unable to open NEF files in Photoshop Elements

    I have recently purchased a Nikon 6100 and am unable to open the RAW files, saved in NEF format to Photoshop Elements 11 despite running all Adobe Updates.  Can anyone advise how I can do this please. Thanks

    Hi Nh239,
    Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click.
    Thanks

  • Trying to Open Raw file in Photoshop Elements 4

    Does anybody have any ideas how I can open a RAW file from a cannon G10 camera in Photoshop elements 4.0?  The file is coming out of the camera as *.CR2.  I am working on a MAC with OS 10.5.7. 
    When I try to open a CR2 file in PE 4.0 it says it can not complete my request because photoshop elements does not recognize this file type.
    I have also tried to run the file through the dng converter version 5.3 and when I try to open it with PE 4.0 it gives the same message above.
    Any ideas of how to get this open and take advantage of the RAW format would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    There is no PSE 7 for mac. However, you may be able to find a version of the Adobe raw converter that will work in PSE 4 that will open your G10 files. I would start with the latest version (5.3) and keep working backwards till you find the latest version that will work in PSE 4. Camera raw updates for PSE mac are here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    although the recent updates are listed for PSE 6 only, it's often possible with PSE to use updates that are supposedly too recent for your version of PSE, especially with PSE/Mac.

  • Unable to open RAW files with Photoshop CS6 - Camera Raw

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to open .CR2 files from a Canon 450D on Photoshop CS6 as well as with Lightroom 4 but it doesn't work.
    I've updated the Adobe Camera Raw to its latest edition (8.8), but anyway, when I try to open them it appears the message below: It basically says that photoshop is not able to open the file, make sure that you have installed the latest edition of Camera Raw and to visit the link for further info...
    After looking for solutions on Internet, I've also tried to convert the RAW files into DNG, but Adobe DNG converter says that the folder does not contain any RAW file, though they are all .CR2 files...
    I've tried several times in many ways... Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Benjamin,
    You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
    Many many thanks! Cheers

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later

  • How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

    How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor.  I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
    This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

  • Unable to open RAW files after reinstalling Photoshop CS4

    I recently did a system recovery to my computer due to downgrading to Windows 7; however, after I installed Design Premium back to my PC, I am not able to open RAW files in Photoshop. It prompted "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I tried to check for Photoshop updates but no updates are available. I tried re-installing Design Premium but the issue still persists.
    My system configuration is as follows:
    Windows 7 Professional x64 (Yet to install Service Pack 1, but I don't think that really matters)
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (Photoshop Version 11.0)
    Canon EOS 50D (Firmware Version 1.08)
    Anyone may have a clue on how to fix that? Thanks a lot!
    Screenshot as follows:

    When you reinstalled CS4, you  went back to the original release.
    Now you must apply all the updates to Photoshop and to  Adobe Camera Raw manually.
    You cannot rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you that you are up to date.  That updater was broken for years and years, and that was and is certainly the case with CS4.
    Adobe didn't get their updater act together until CS6.
    You also have to update the ACR plug-in manually.

  • Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

    When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
    Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
    The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
    I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
    I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

    Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

  • Unable to open RAW files in CS6 after update

    Hi all,
    I have Photoshop CS6 and have been able to open my D4 Raw files with no issues using the Camera Raw version 7.1 plugin.
    Yesterday I upgraded my Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (a big jump I agree) and proceeded to update Photoshop to the latest version as well as installing Adobe DNG Converter 8.8.
    I am apparently still using the same 7.1 plugin version as I always have but I am now no longer able to open any RAW files through Photoshop as it displays a message saying 'files not recognised' when I try to open them.
    Have I skipped too many updates? Do the latest Photoshop CS6 updates leave me unable to open RAW files? Am I being pushed down the CC route?
    Could anybody offer any help at all as I have a wedding to edit but cannot open any files!!! Stress!!!
    I backed up my system through Time Machine before I did the update but im not sure if I restore that I will still have Yosemite OS running.
    Any help or advice really is appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Phil

    Camera RAW should be at version 8.8 for CS6

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.
