Why won't camera raw v4.6.0 open a Nikon D3s raw file?

I have a new-used Nikon D3s and Photoshop CS3 extended. I am using plug in camera raw version 4.6.0. I can see the raw file in bridge. When I double click the thumbnail photo it goes to a window in Ps that says, "Could not complete your request becasue it is not the right kind of document."
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

You should know that the rendering, capabilities and performance of the current 7.x and 8.x versions of ACR are so far superior to their predecessors, that you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you choose not to upgrade.
Some of us even found ourselves re-converting and re-editing some of our raw files that had been edited in previous versions of ACR, and even re-considering working on some that we had rejected because we deemed the dynamic range to be too extreme to render adequately.
Incidentally, what Bridge is showing you is the JPEG preview embedded in the raw file by the camera, not an ACR-rendition of the raw NEF file, so that has nothing to do  with what the image will look like in ACR one converted.

  • Why won't Camera Raw "open" my photo in Photoshop?

    Why won't Camera Raw "open" my photo in Photoshop? I open a photo in Camera Raw and when I select "Open" to move it into Photoshop(CS5), nothing happens. What's happening?

  • Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac

    Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac after I have installed all the disc?

    Nope.
    Just download Preference Manager (Free) from Digital Rebellion at:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    It will allow you to archive your current settings before you trash them, in case you want to return to them for some reason.
    Then trash your preferences and restart Final Cut.
    It will see there are no existing preference and will create a fresh set.
    Hopefully this will allow you to compete the launch.

  • Nikon D3s RAW files are underexposed by Lightroom / Camera RAW

    I'm used to shot RAW files only.
    I recently bought a D3s, alongside with my D700 and I noticed D3s files were darker than D700 ones, by about 1/2 or even 2/3 stop. Initially I thought the problem was one of the cameras, but after some tests I found the problem is my RAW converter. Infact this happens only with NEF (RAW) files, and if I shot a RAW+JPG image, the D3s RAW file opened in Lightroom 4 (or Camera RAW) is underexposed if compared with its JPG on-camera version.
    I think no camera setting is affecting this behaviour. I reset either the D3s and the D700. No D-Lighting is set on-camera. This happens only with the D3s and only with Camera RAW and Lightroom.
    Other RAW converters display the D3s RAW file correctly exposed, the same as its JPG version, and the same as the D700 RAW and JPG. I tested so far Capture One, DxO Pro Optics and Raw Therapee.
    Color profile used is custom, but I tried using Adobe Standard and the result is the same.
    Default develop settings affect only color profile and sharpening, and I got the same problem on a fresh new installation of Lightroom where no default develop settings are set.
    If anybody with a D3s can check if his NEFs are underexposed if compared to their JPG versions when opened in LR or Camera RAW, I would appreciate that much.
    Any idea about the origins of my problem would be great.
    Thank you.

    I know, DdeGannes, but a different rendition of 2 pro cameras at the same settings is a bit frustrating.
    Would it be better to underexpose the D700 while shooting, or setting a default -0,5EV on every imported picture, if the problem goes on?
    Moreover, seems the Nikon D3s ISOs need to be pushed +2/3 to obtain the same exposure as the D700 in LR workflow. So the advantage of this great sensor could be lost.
    I'd like to know more about D700 and D3s rendition comparison in LR/ACR at same settings.
    It's not unusual for two camera bodies of even the same exact make and model to have Exposure differences of up to 1/3 EV, which is very noticeable. Ditto for  White Balance differences. For Example:
    Camera 1 is +1/3 EV and Camera 2 is -1/3 EV = 2/3 EV Difference
    Camera 1 White Balance is -500KTemp and Camera 2 is +500K Temp = 1000K Difference
    Tack on minor differences between the LR Camera Profiles and it will get much worse if heading in opposite directions, as above.
    The only way to compare the raw NEF files from two cameras is to use a RAW converter that applies NO profiles, NO Gamma Correction, or any other modifications to the raw pixel data. See may post here for information on 'Rawnalyze:'

    None of the external links in the manual work, but nothing to worry about. If you have any questions on how to use it let me know.
    I believe the Nikon D700, D3, and D3s cameras are supported in Rawnalyze 2.10.4.0. If not you can convert the NEF to DNG.

  • Photoshop elements 10 won't open up Nikon d4s RAW files

    Photoshop elements 10 will not open up my RAW files from my new Nikon D4S.  My Nikon d700 RAW files tranfers fine.  I have updated my Camera RAW to 6.7 but it still does not open.  I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.  Is there anything else I can do or another update out there?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Elements 10 ships with Camera Raw 6.4.1 and is compatible up to Camera Raw 6.7. Nothing after that.
    The D700 requires Camera Raw 5.1 or later so Elements 10 can read those Raw files.
    The D4S requires Camera Raw 8.4 or later so Elements 10 will never be able to read those Raw files.
    Your choices are to convert the D4S Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10. Or upgrade to Elements 12.
    I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.
    Where did you get that information from? What kind of data do you lose?

  • Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

    Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
    I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
    Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
    What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Hello,
    Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
    Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
    Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
    I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
    A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
    recording music.
    The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
    After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
    The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
    Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
    Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
    Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
    This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
    In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
    I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
    In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
    When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
    I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
    When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
    Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".

  • CS5 (camera raw 8.7.1) not reading Nikon d810 NEF files

    I just purchased Nikon d810. I have CS5. All updates are current and I've downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 but Photoshop/Bridge still can not read NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

    If you have Windows, go into the Control Panel > All Items > Autoplay
    Uncheck Autoplay (I keep it off because I don't want Windows doing anything automatically, I like to make that decision).
    Next to the Pictures category, set the drop-down menu to "Take no Action".
    Then when you insert a SD card, Bridge would see it under "Computer", but you would have to double-click to open it, and go to the folder that has the pictures.
    One warning: Don't do any processing off an SD card. Make copies and put them in a folder on your hard drive. Too much can go wrong with flash memory and it's unwise to work off it or an external drive. You want backups of your valued photos.
    I don't think Bridge CS5 auto-imports Photos from SD cards, so you are safe there.

  • Why won't photoshop elements 12 editor launch/open?

    No matter how I try to activate PSE12, through the desktop shortcut, through program files, through old Photoshop works I've saved, it will not start.
    I've tried reinstalling it, but it still won't launch.
    What's strange to me is that Premier Elements, which I also have, works just fine. I can access the organizer through there, see old Photoshop works, but be unable to work on them because the editor won't load at all. No prompt on screen. No 404 ERROR or something like that, just a loading circle that goes away after a few seconds.
    I have Windows 8 and a brand new computer. Why is this happening?

    I have the exact same issue, but nothing on my computer changed!  Abode chat support twice now has refused to help me.  First time the guy cut me off; this time they told me to come here.  Looks like you have the same problem with no answer.  Not a good way to run a company!

  • Why Won't my updated version of iMovie open up??

    Updated to iMovie 9.0.9, and now it will not open on my 2013 Mac Mini. It opens the iMovie window, says "Processing Event: New Event" then crashes and error reports, then when I click reopen it does the same thing.
    Would have included the error log here, but it won't let me copy and paste on this site I guess,
    It says:
    Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000000000000
    Then it starts talking about VM's and saying Thread 0 cr

    If you go into your Movies folder, then into iMovie Events, remove the folder named 'New Event.'
    If iMovie launches at that point, you've got something with that particular event gumming things up. If so, you can try importing the videos from within that event, but it may be one of those videos causing iMovie to quit.

  • Why won't my system preferences in Lion open up?

    When I click on my system preferences icon on the dock, it jumps up once but then goes back to where it was.  There is no response and I cannot get it to open.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why won't the April 2014 iMovie update open?

    Hi Cassielsmith13,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that the rear camera on your iPhone is not functioning as you would expect and I know how frustrating situations like **** can be. In this situation, there are a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the steps located in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Cheers,

  • In Mac OS 10.6, why won't the command n keyboard shortcut open a new firefox window?

    Ever since Firefox 3, command n does not open up a new window. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.6

    Hello cor-el,
    Yes, I do use a 2 monitor set up. And Yes!!! moving the Firefox window to the main or 1st monitor allows use of command n shortcut to open a new window. You're a genius. Thank you soo much!
    Naturally, the reason I use a 2 monitor set up is to have Firefox open on the 2nd monitor for quick reference and easy access. Is there a workaround that will allow me to keep this configuration? (I know, I'm getting greedy now!)
    Many Thanks,

  • Why won't photoshop touch 1.4.1 open on the archos 97 carbon tablet?

    I can't get photoshop touch 1.4.1 to open on my archos 97 carbon tablet - can anyone help with this please? I have tried downloading it several times - most of the time it just goes to a black screen. Google play listed it as compatable with the archos 97 carbon and there is enough memory available so i can't figure out what the problem is.

    Hi Guido,
    We have tried to upload photoshop through the computer, but the result is just the same. It seems to download o.k. with the icon appearing in with the other icons. When selected it pulls up the photoshop logo screen after about 6 seconds, (but only on the first attempt, after that you have to clear the data for it to do even this.) It then pulls up 'end user accept/decline'. When you touch the accept button it displays 'help us improve our products' and at the bottom of the page and a double image of the license/online privacy allow/don't allow also appears. When you touch to accept 'help us improve our products' the 'begin a tutorial /project' appears. When you touch either of these the screen goes black and stays black.
    Hope this helps you sort it out
