Unable to see DNG files in Photoshop CS2

Hi:
I am using Photoshop CS2 in Windows XP Pro and have *.CR2 pictures taken with Canon EOS 40D.
I downloaded Camera_Raw_3.7.zip and extracted Camera Raw.8bi to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter ver. 4.3.1 and converted the Canon CR2 files to DNG files.
I can see the pictures in Adobe Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 fine.
However, when I open Adobe Photoshop CS2 and try File/open, the drop down does not show any selection for DNG files. If I try to physically drag a file into Photoshop, I get the message that the extension is not supported.
Upon opening Help/About Plug-In, I do not see Camera raw anywhere in the long list.
What do I need to do to bring DNG files into Photoshop?
Thanks.

If you don't see Camera Raw in the list it usually means that it is not in the correct folder or the it might be damaged.
It looks like you listed the correct folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
When you navigate to that folder do you see Camera Raw.8bi listed? It might only say Camera Raw, depending on how you have Windows set up.
Did you restart Photoshop after putting the filter into the File Formats folder?

Unable to open DNG files in Photoshop CS3

i have tried pulling these onto the alias and opening from within photoshop, but always get the error message "photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
i looked into the DNG converter, but obviously that only converts things to DNG files.
any help is appreciated.
JB

Thanks for the comment -
I am on a Mac.
By alias I mean that I drag a file to the dashboard to launch it.
When I go to "file/open" from within Photoshop I can not see any DNG reference, nor will it allow me to open a DNG file. They all appear greyed out.

Unable to open ANY file in Photoshop CS2

I was working on pretty big files. Lots of layers. I decided to restart the Computer in order to speed up the process. Once the computer booted up again i double clicked on one of the images and I got the lovely beach ball for quite some time...after well...about 2 minutes or so...NO sign of ANYTHING happenning i decided to close the program using the Command + Tab and then Quitting from there instead of force quit. USUALLY when I do that it takes a while to regroup and close, this time it does it instantly. NO files are opening it just stays there... "thinking" and when I quit it quites instantly. Has anyone else experienced this in the past? How could I solve this problem I am going NUTS! lol
Thank you for your time. Hope I can get some help soon.

Opening .CR2 files in Photoshop CS2

I am trying to see if it possible to open .CR2 RAW files in Photoshop CS2, which brings up the message " Could not complete our request because it is not eh right kind of document"
I have tried updating the Raw Plug in line with Adobe's website and putting the .8BI file into File Formats folder, but this does not seem to solve the problem.
Adobe on line chat will not help.
Any advice gratefully received.

It appears support was added for the 40D in ACR 4.2, while CS2 will only support up to ACR 3.7.

Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec. This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem. The codec was tentatively identified as: C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm" codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

Unable to see converted NEF to DNG files in Photoshop CS

Aloha, my laptop recently crashed and I am in the midst of trying to restore my laptop to the way it was. I am using Photoshop CS and back in December 2009 I downloaded DNG converter. I am using a Nikon D90, shooting in RAW. I don't recall what I did after downloading the DNG converter but I was able to convert the NEF files to DNG by simpling clicking on the DNG icon, selecting the file and click convert and the NEF were converted to DNG files. I was able to use my Photoshop CS with these covverted files. In the restoration of my laptop, I loaded my Photoshop CS program and then did a search on-line for the DNG converter. I found a 5.6 version and later a 6.3 version. I first downloaded the 5.6 version. I then clicked on the icon, selected the files and click convert. I can see the NEF photos being converted. However, when I went into my Photoshop CS program, I did not see any DNG files even though I saw the files being converted. I downloaded the 6.3 version and got the same results. I also went into Change Preference and selected Camera Raw 2.4 and later. But I though I am seeing the files being converted to DNG, I do not see any of those converted photos in my Photoshop CS program. Can anyone help me? Am I missing a step or two? I would appreciate y'all expertise in this matter. Also, anyone knows how to uninstall one of these DNG converters I downloaded? Thank you very much, Ron

Aloha Jim,
I went on Google and typed in DNG 6.3 converter. The following appears:
Product Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter Version 6.3 Platform Windows File
Name DNGConverter_6_3.exe File Size 50.6MB
Proceed to Download<http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4924&fileID=4585>
I click on the proceed to download. The follow appears.
Camera_Raw_6_3_updater.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 37,629,269 bytes
I assume I'm supposed click on this icon that looks like three stacks of
books and having the information next to it, Camera_Raw_6_3_updater.zip -
ZIP archive, unpacked size 37,629,269 bytes. After clicking on the icon, I
come on a window that says, Camera_Raw_6_3_updater.zip - WinRAR (evaluation
copy). In that window there are 4 folders. The first one does not have any
information except for 2 dots. The second folder is labeled META -INF. The
third folder says, payloads and the last is like a window, rectangular in
shape, white at the bottom 3/4 and the top portion is blue. It is labeled
AdobePatchInstaller.exe. Again, I am assuming I am suppose to click this. I
click it and then it looks like it is updating something, then a window that
says, Adobe Application Manger comes on which says, some updates failed to
install. Another messages says, update is not applicable. I don't recall
what I did next...tried other things but I finally got the icon (circular,
the top 1/3 white with 4 red letters, the bottom 2/3 greenish with a blue
arrow pointing down. It is labeled as DNGConverter_6_3. I clicked this
icon and get this open file - security warning window. It states, the
publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this
software. Name: DNGConverter_6_3.exe. Publisher: Unknown Publisher; Type
Application; From C:\Documents and Settings\(other info. I click on the Run
button I then get an error message saying, Installer integrity -check has
failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media.
Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy. More information at:
http://nsis.sf.net/NSIS_error.
I don't know what to do. Back in December of 2009, all I did was downloaded
the DNG file that I found on Google, click on the DNG icon, and my NEF were
converted so I could see it in my Photoshop CS.
Am I doing anything wrong. I would prefer not to invest $200 for Photoshop
CS5 since Photoshop CS along with DNG converter were meeting my needs. I
know it may take some time to write this but perhaps could you write down
the step by step process you would do from searching for the DNG converter,
selecting the converter, downloading the converter, activate it so
everything is set up for use with the Photoshop CS. I would appreciate it
very much. It has been very frustrating and time consuming in trying to
resolve this issue. I thought it would be so simple setting it up like the
first time when I first installed it.
Thanks again for responding to this matter. I appreciate it very much.
Aloha

Can't open .NEF files in Photoshop CS2

Heres the deal: I've updated and installed my camera raw in Photoshop CS2, so I have the latest version of it (ACR 3.7). I still can not open my .NEF files in Photoshop and when I view the files from Bridge it shows the generic thumbnail image.
Information that might help:
PS Version: Photoshop CS2
ACR Version: Camera Raw 3.7
Camera: Nikon D60
Operating Sys: Mac OSX
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The D60 was not supported in ACR 3.7. In fact, that version was the first to support the D40. You will have to use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG. Then you can open those files in ACR 3.7.

Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

Daag Kees,
>[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
>[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
>What means "using Bridge" ?
Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
Prettige Kerstdagen!

Significant problem saving files in Photoshop CS2

I am running Photoshop CS2, with Windows Vista Home Edition.
My problem is a new one, as Ive been running the program the exact same way since I bought it several years ago. Two weeks ago I bought an Intuos 3 tablet, and installed the software that came with it (including Corel Painter Essentials), and updated the drivers for Vista. After doing so, the appearance of my save menu changed in photoshop, but everything still ran properly.
Yesterday when I tried to save a file that I had opened and modified (a photoshop file, not .jpg), Photoshop stopped responding. I did not receive any error message, the program simply froze, and refused to respond. I gave it more than five minutes before shutting it down. This has happened three consecutive times. I can save a new file, (using the save as function), but anytime I attempt to merely save (either using control-s, or by selecting save from the file menu) Photoshop stops responding.
I have not edited any preferences or settings.
I have lost a great deal of time and work over this, and am beyond frustrated. Any help would be very truly appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same problem.
There was nothing off screen, escape did not help. I don't usually get a box when all I'm doing is saving (unlike using 'save as'). I haven't had any messages from Windows Error Reporting, and don't see anything in the System Event Log, but don't know exactly what I'm looking for as I don't access it regularly.
I've ordered the CS4 upgrade. Should arrive this week.
My new question is, should I uninstall my current configuration, install Photoshop Elements 6.0 (which came with my tablet), and upgrade that? Or should I leave it as is, and install the upgrade on my current configuration?
Will CS4 fix my problem? Or will the problem merely transfer onto it?
Any help greatly appreciated!

CAN NOT OPEN CANON EOS20D RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)
or

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

Exchange Server CCR 2007 unable to see the File Share Witness resulting in mailbox failover ?

Hi people,
Here's my Exchange Server 2007 SP3 in the ideal and normal situation:
Mailbox Server (CCR – Stretched Cluster) Nodes
PRODEXMBX01-VM (Active Mailbox, Quorum) – 10.1.1.53
DREXMBX01-VM (Passive mailbox) – 192.168.1.88
Hub Transport and Client Access Server Nodes
PRODEXHTCAS02-VM – 10.1.1.54
PRODEXHTCAS03-VM (FSW holder) – 10.1.1.55
DREXHTCAS02-VM – 192.168.1.89
Saturday early morning, for some unknown reason the Active Mailbox Server (PRODEXMBX01-VM)
cannot access or see the FSW on the HT server PRODEXHTCAS03-VM, thus
the mailbox gets failover to the DR Mailbox server (DREXMBX01-VM).
Here’s the Events logged:
Log
Name:      System
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
Event ID:      1564
Task Category: File Share Witness Resource
Level:Critical
User:          SYSTEM
Computer:      PRODEXMBX01-VM.domain.com
Description:
File
share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01)'
failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\ PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01'.
Please ensure that file share '\\ PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01'
exists and is accessible by the cluster.
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
Event ID:      1177
Task Category: None
Level:       Critical
User:     SYSTEM
Computer:PRODEXMBX01-VM.domain.com
Description:
The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost.
This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes
in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk.
Run
the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the
condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the
network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to
which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.
So I had to perform manual failover back from DR to production so that both Active mailbox and the Quorum
are held by the Production Mailbox server (PRODEXMBX01-VM).
On Sunday Morning, the Event ID Critical 1564 occurred again thus causing only the quorum only to failover
to the DR mailbox server (DREXMBX01-VM) but the Active mailbox role is still held by the Production Exchange server (PRODEXMBX01-VM).
So now the situation is like the following:
Mailbox Server (CCR – Stretched Cluster) Nodes
PRODEXMBX01-VM (Active Mailbox) – 10.1.1.53
DREXMBX01-VM (Passive mailbox, Quorum) – 192.168.1.88
Hub Transport and Client Access Server Nodes
PRODEXHTCAS02-VM – 10.1.1.54
PRODEXHTCAS03-VM (FSW holder) – 10.1.1.55
DREXHTCAS02-VM – 192.168.1.89
So what causing the mailbox servers unable to contact the File Share Witness?
/* Server Support Specialist */

Did you check the blog above?
The account used in the clustered machine should have access to
\\PRODEXHTCAS03-VM\FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01. Please check the permissions. Try giving full permission to admins as well (just to try)
MAS
I've followed this (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124922(v=exchg.80).aspx) instruction and there is no mentioning other than the Cluster Service Account.

Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

Hi All,
I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
Thanks

Allyson,
Another welcome here.
Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
Good luck,
Hunt
