When opening camera raw in cs3, cannor read document

when trying to open camera raw in cs3, it keeps telling me that it cannot read document

There could be a million reasons why what you describe could be the case.
I'm going to guess at one of them: Your camera is newer than the version of Camera Raw you are running.
Could you please express yourself more clearly so we can try to help you without guessing?
Thanks.

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

I can't open canon .CR2 files in Adope camera raw in CS3

When i want to open my .CR2 file from my Canon camera 40D into bridge or photoshop CS3 it does not open it and it can't recognize the file in some way. My computer is working with windows vista. I really need help as i dont know why it is not doing it. Thanks

Distilling the Tech Note down, essentially you can't open .CR2 files in CS3. I think CS4 is the first version that has .CR2 compatibility. One option that doesn't involve upgrading to CS4 is to download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your .CR2 files to .dng. Then you can open them in CS3.
No, that isn't right. The Canon 40D was supported in at least the last version of Camera Raw for CS3. There are a few things you need to verify.
1. In Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw in the list. It will tell you what version you have installed. You should have Camera Raw 4.6 listed, and it should only be listed once. If there are additional listings then you have a problem. Camera Raw will now work.
2. Get the download instructions from the Adobe download website and make sure Camera Raw is installed in the right folder. It must be that specific folder, and there can be no other versions of Camera Raw in the Adobe file structure.
3. Are you able to see your raw images in Bridge? If not, then there is something wrong with your installation.
Check these things out and make sure everything is set up properly. Then maybe we can help you further.

How to change preference setting in Photoshop CC 2014 to not automatically lauch Adobe Camera Raw when opening Nikon raw .NEF file

When I launch Photoshop CC 2014 and then open a .nef raw file it launches Adobe Camera Raw and I click Open Image, then I "Convert to Smart Object" then launch Filter > Camera Raw Filter. Is there a preference somewhere for raw files that just bring you right into Adobe Photoshop without stopping at Camera Raw first? Thanks!

Gene,
Ah! Okay, makes sense now. I just learned tonight that some features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter. One being Lens Profile Correction. So it makes sense to have have Camera Raw open right off the bat to make some tweaks first then continue on. I found the below on the Adobe website. Thank you so much!!
Note: The following features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter (that are normally available in Camera Raw), primarily because they don’t make sense in the filter context: Workflow options and preferences, crop and straighten tools, rotation tools (rotate left/right buttons), snapshots, camera and lens profile corrections.

Can't open Camera Raw (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3?

I can't seem to open Camera Raw CR2 files in Photoshop CS3, my CameraRaw plug in version says it's 4.6 - any help appreciated.

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

When is camera raw going to support the Nikon D810? I have downloaded the beta version and I can open in camera raw but it not open in PS.

We have just released the final versions of ACR 8.6 and also Lightroom 5.6 tonight. You can now open all your NEF files from Nikon D810 in both applications.
Camera Raw 8.6 and DNG Converter 8.6 Now Available

DNG Converter/ Camera Raw for CS3 (D3000)

1. I have a Nikon D3000
2. I have CS3
3. I took 3 graduation pictures and set of engagement pics in RAW
4. I am trying to convert them so I can open them up in CS3 because naturally Raw files cannot open up in CS3. I downloaded MULTIPLE DNG convertors. From recent to not so recent. On all of them I am able to see the menu....but right when i click select files ALL of my .nef pics are grey and unclickable.
PLEASE HELP ME. I am miserable using other peoples computer.
SIDENOTE: I tried to also put camera raw on CS3 . I put the correct version for my camera and it still didn't work. My main goal is to use Camera Raw for editing.
once again...please help

To add to what Noel has said...
The DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run off Start -> All Programs -> Adobe -> DNG Converter.
The DNG Converter operates on entire folders at once so there are no thumbnails involved.
Once you have converted all the NEFs to DNGs in a particular folder using the DNG Converter, you could still have problem seeing the NEFs if your camera RAW is too new, as it sounds like you might have done.
To fix this, please re-install (manually copy?) the Camera RAW plug-in back to the highest version number that is compatible with CS3, which would be 4.6:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
Check to see what version of Camera RAW you have by going into Photoshop and choosing Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera RAW (and make sure there is only one instances of Camera RAW listed).
Unless you update to CS4 or CS5 that can work with the NEFs, directly, when viewing the folder in Bridge, you will always see gray NEF icons for the original RAW files, but you should see thumbnails for the DNGs you've converted.
If might be good that when you convert NEFs to DNGs that you put the DNGs into a subfolder of the NEFs, so you don't have half your thumbnails being gray NEFs.

Opening Camera Raw within Bridge

I just recently installed Photoshop CS3, and within bridge when I try to open up any raw image, it opens it up in camera raw, but within photoshop. I can't find the option that allows me to open camera raw within bridge without having to launch photoshop.
I've tried the help pages and what they've described for me to enable this function can't be found...so weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Henry

I would really appreciate anyone figuring this one out. I'd rather not have to reformat my mac AGAIN. I just had to because photoshop cs3 was not installing properly. I am running OSX10.4.10 or somthing like that.
I have Design Premium CS3.
While in Bridge, there is no option to open in CameraRAw, whether I right click or click on File.
In the Preferences, there is no option to make "double click opens in CameraRaw."
Work flow is seriously hampered by this defect.
I purged my cache, but I don't see how to reset all settings.

Cannot open Camera Raw in Bridge with 5D Mark II files

Just bought a Canon 5D Mark II and Adobe Photoshop CS4 - no experience with Adobe so far. Neither Photoshop nor Bridge opened raw files initially.
After copying Camera Raw 5.3 manually into the (Windows) Photoshop "File format" I can now open RAW files in Photoshop (the automatic Adobe update program reported errors at installation and did not work) but NOT in Bridge. Maybe the 5.3 plug-in needs to be placed elsewhere - anyhelp on that for windows application would be great.
When opening my raw files in Bridge, the automatic DNG conversion did also not work.
My issue is that I don't know how to see and work on raw images in Bridge with the Bridge command "File/open in camera raw" also not working. I was reading about the same issue in another forums and also in this space but after hours of trial and error and testing all the published wisdom I got stuck now. I am very keen to learn from the experts. Thanks in advance for support.

Hello, and welcome to the forum, Ludwig.
It seems that you missed both the readme ( http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.3_ReadMe.pdf ), or the detailed instructions on the bottom on the very page where you downloaded the update: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4365
The correct location is: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats . You will need to remove the other copy from the Photoshop tree.
Please post this information on the other forums where you also saw unresponded questions on the same topic, so that you can help others!

Canon 5d Mark ii and Camera Raw in CS3.

Bought a new camera, Canon 5d Mark ii. Cannot open the RAW files. Can open them from my older Canon camera. Not sure which Camera Raw comes with CS3. Not sure if I have to upgrade. If I do need to upgrade to at least CS4 that may be doable. Otherwise OR until I do, am I better off just using the Canon software for now? Advice please!!!

That camera was supported for the first time in ACR 5.2, which ran with Photoshop CS4.
If you are not planning on upgrading your Photoshop to CS4 or CS5 right away, you need to download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter version 5.7 to convert your raw Canon files to DNG raw files first. Then you will be able to open those DNGs in Camera Raw in CS3.
You should update your ACR in CS3 to version 4.6 ASAP, though. ACR 4.0 is woefully obsolete and nobody should be running that old version.
Be aware, however, that you will be leaving a lot of image quality behind by staying with that old version of ACR in CS3. Camera Raw 5.7 (the current and last version for CS4) is light years ahead of ACR 4.x. ACR 6.1 (currently a Release Candidate) which requires CS5 is even a bit better than ACR 5.7.
ACR 4.x is really old technology. If you can afford that camera, you most certainly can afford to upgrade to CS5.

Error when opening Canon Raw images.....Photoshop CC2014

Hi,
tried already in the german forums without answer, so will try it her
System:
macbook pro 2012, Core i7
16GB Ram
after upgradinf to 10.10. full and the upgrades for Photoshop i have the following problem,
this occured 4 times now.
When double clicking a Canon Raw Image (.cr2 file) Camera Raw 8.6 opens.
Now i can adjust the pic - and/or can open it into Photoshop
worked fine so far....but not always since the update
If i do so, sometime the pic will be opened like this
is here a photoshop pro aware of this error?
So far i did NOT reinstall Photoshop.
Its the only application i use (and PTGui sometimes)
happens since the last updates
The only thing i did is: also using (at this time only installed) Lighroom. Have to look how it works first
Ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Frank

I have made a few more observations.
I can actually open Camera Raw if I click the "Open in Camera Raw..." icon i Bridge.
In Camera Raw I can save files as .psd for example, and also open them in Photoshop. I still get the error when I try to open Camera Raw settings.

Bridge won't allow me to open Camera Raw because a qualifying product has not been launched, any suggestions?

Actually, it may be more to it. I just wasted good 7 hours on the issue: I transferred a big external drive from old WinXp system to my new W7 system, and faced the ownership mayhem ever since.
No matter what I did to the Volume Owner, Files Owner and attributes, recursive Directory Ownership jobs enduring tens of minutes at a time, nothing helped really.
Because you might have one more issue:
Use "Folder Options", either from Tools menu in Explorer, if menu shows, or via Control Panel.
Click on View tab, and find the box for "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Ignore that recommendation, uncheck.
Go now to the root directory of your troubled drive and you will see a hidden file "System Volume Information". This can be the "bad guy." Ensure that you have access to that file using the Properties / Security tab in a customary fashion! In my case that file was "padlocked", a small lock icon was placed over the folder icon to indicate that.
Only once I changed that, I was able to access the LR catalogs as a regular user. And only than LR was finally able to access existing previews and to display the grid image icons!
Ugrh.... Windows, the "personal computer system" is a mess, a labyrinth of convoluted intertwined dependencies, maybe created in competing departments and piled up atop of each other in an unseemly fashion. Compared to Unix and its derivatives it is a nightmare, which is a part of our lives for decades already.
I think that all the Apple users are now double-happy to have made the transition, when they see such "problems."

When is Camera Raw 8.7 coming out for Nikon D750

When is Camera Raw 8.7 coming out for Nikon D750. I see everyone is having the same problem, we have the camera but can't download to Light room.

There is a release candidate for Camera Raw 8.7 that includes support for the camera. However, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is expected that support for the camera will be in the next Lightroom update, whenever that is released. But there is no release date because Adobe never announces that kind of information ahead of time. In the meantime, you could use the software that came with the camera to create TIF copies that could then be opened in Lightroom that you have now. Or, you could download the DNG converter 8.7 RC and create DNG copies that you could use now.

When will Camera Raw and Photoshop support Nikon 610 cameras

When will Camera Raw and Photoshop support Nikon 610 cameras

Hi,
What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
Photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc should open those files.
You might just need to go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6/cc to get an updated camera raw plugin
Camera raw 8.3 or 8.4, depending on your operating system.

created by Barbara B. in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionYou are being deceived by the Save button, like most people. That button is not the Save As button, really, but a link to the DNG converter. To save your raw file in an image format, click the Open button instead and then save in the format of your choice in the editor.
