Photoshop/Bridge doesn’t open Raw Pictures?

November 15th, 2009 Category: Photography

You have purchased a new camera and the RAW or NEF pictures are not opened in Adobe Photoshop or Bridge CS4?

This is the case when you have e.g. a Canon 5D Mark II or Nikon D3S. What helps is a upgrade of Adobe Camera Raw. This can be done either manual using the download from Adobe or using the upgrade function in Photoshop (Help->Upgrades).

The update from Photoshop version 11.0 to 11.0.1 should also be done, a few stability issues should be fixed.

CS3 users will have a problem because Adobe Camera Raw is no longer developed for CS3. If you really want to use RAW/NEF then a upgrade to CS4 seems to be needed.
