Will ACR8.6 work with CS5.1?

Bought a new Nikon D810, and my version of Photoshop, CS5.1 says it will not work with this raw image. Can this newer version of ACR plug in to my version of Photoshop?

Yes, you can use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 to convert your raw NEF files to raw DNGs first, which you can then open in any version of ACR higher than 2.3.
But ACR 8.6 will never work with CS5.1, and you will never be able to open your raw NEF files directly in CS5.1.  You will have to take the extra step of running the Adobe DNG Converter on every batch of raw files you take with your camera.
More importantly, you should be aware that you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you work with any version of ACD 7.4—which also requires CS6 to run.  The rendering in Adobe Camera Raw took a significant leap forward in ACR 7.4 and later versions.
It would be a real shame to work with an expensive Nikon camera and not obtain optimal raw conversions.

  • Is it true? My 4 x 2.5 Ghz PowerPC G5 will not work with CS5 ?

    And many rational thinkers agree. The features in CS 5 are not a need to have, but there are backwards compatibility things that shall sting the lower release users if a CS 5 users gives files to them.
    I've been using Photoshop since version 5, and I have never been in a situation when I was handed a processed Photoshop file from anybody, nor can I even imagine ever being in such a situation in the future.
    99.9% of the time I am concerned with my own files.  If I ever work on someone else's file, it is either a raw file or a flattened PSD or TIFF.
    What's more, I still deal with large numbers of scanned film negatives and will do so until I die.  Adobe bought and killed the undisputed best software to manage film grain, as opposed to digital chroma noise, Grain Surgery, from its developer, Visual Infinity.  The last version of Grain Surgery runs only on a PPC or under Rosetta, so CS5 is simply out of the question—by virtue of Adobe's own fiat.

  • New GTX 590 - Will it work with CS5 Hack?

    I have just been reading some of the reviews for the new GTX 590. It has two GPUs on one card. I was wondering whether CS5 hacked would this as one GPU and work faster than a 580, or only use half the power of the card. Thanks Roman

    DO NOT get a GTX 590 for Premierew Pro CS5 usage!
    I inquired with one of our nVidia forum members but got no answer.  But here is a response from EVGA:
    "Dear Customer,  Thank you for contacting the EVGA Customer Service Team. My name is Matthew Hurwitz and I will be answering your question today.
    Answer:  Bill, Since the program doesnt support SLI you are correct that you would be paying full price to use half a card. A single 580 would be faster and cheaper for such a program. Regards, EVGA
    Question:  Thanks much for the quick answer. Yes MPE requires CUDA. Since Adobe Premiere does not support SLI the 590 is problably not going to be compatible with Adobe's MPE or would be a waste of money if it could only use half the board."
    So yes it would work but it would cost much more and be less fast than a EVGA 580 (ckeck the clocks the 580's run faster than the 590's) not that I have been able to find any PPBM5 difference between my superclocked  580 (797 MHz) and an extreme overclocked 580 at 1275 MHz (see below)..

  • Does Adobe CS5 require powerpoint 2007 or will it work with 2003

    I work in IT for a company and we have some users saying that they require Powerpoint 2007 to work with CS5.
    I would like to know if CS5 requires Powerpoint 2007 for certain task or whether 2003 is sufficient. From my understanding work completed in CS5 can be exported into powerpoint, but I don't understand how Powerpoint 2007 could offer more benefits than 2003 after the export.
    If both can be used can anyone tell me the additional benefits that 2007 offers over 2003 to justify the purchase of 2007
    The reason i'm posting here is I don't use the CS5 suite and haven't been able to find this information on the internet elsewhere.
    Any feedback much appreciated

    There is no express interdependence, or really any other direct connection between Adobe CS apps of any version, and MS Office of any version. Using content across the applications is a matter of appropriate image format. You can save images using CS5 that will work in Office '97. And, the same could be said for Photoshop 7 and Office 2007, or Photoshop (any version) and Office (any version).

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • CS 5.  Will it work with Mac OS 10.10.1?

    Will it work with Mac OS 10.10.1?  If not what is the latest version of Mac OS it would work correctly with?
    The most recent version of the Mac OS is 10.10.1 (Yosemite).  Do not wish to update if it will affect my ability to use CS 5.
    Thanks,

  • Upgrade CS3 custom plugins to work with CS5

    Hello everyone,
    I have several InDesign plugins developed with CS3 SDK, and now we'd want to make them work with CS5.
    As the first step, I'd want to get some general idea regarding how large the scope of effort it would require.
    So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether we have any tools help with such upgrades. Or if anyone could help pointing me at some instructions that would be great.
    Thanks a ton!
    -Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    You could look into the programming guide for a complete reference into what all are the changes you need to make into your plugin for porting into CS5.
    But i will mention some main points that hopefully will get you started.
    1. You need to seperate your plugin into two plugins that i.e. model and UI plugins. For that what i suggest is consider placing things like persistent interfaces and commands, maybe selection suites and the same into the model plugin and the rest into UI plugin.
    2. You could start by not linking against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and not using the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project. The files giving compilation error would be a potential target to move to the UI plugin.
    3. Next is when you  have decided what all things are to be present in the model plugin, then use the CS5 SDK to compile this project, you will probably get some compilation errors which you can fix with the help of the Indesign SDK help.
    4. Once the model plugin is compiled you can place all the other files and features from the original plugin not included in the model plugin into a new plugin(UI). This project will link against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project.
    5. Once the UI plugin is ready and then you have made the appropriate API changes, you still might have some linking and compilation errors because of the code moved into the model plugin. For this you need to make a facade generally used for communication btw the model and UI plugin. Place all the functions of the model plugin that the UI plugin uses in the facade and replace the call of these function appropriately in the UI plugin.
    6. Lastly you will have to make some changes in the project  settings as well for CS5 to copy the resource files with the plugin as well, please refer CS5 porting guide.
    If you follow these steps, you would be able to load your CS3 plugin into CS5. And basically the effort in terms of porting the plugin mainly depends upon the quality of code to be ported. If the original code is written with good insight and using good practices of design patterns, porting is not a very time consuming task.
    Hope this helps.

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

    I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5.  In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI"  from an older version into the File Format folder.  This does not work with CS5.  Any fix?

    I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files.  I am now using Photoshop CS5.  Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file:  "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4.  This does not appear to work with CS5.  Any fix?

    It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install
