Problem with changing RAW to Jpeg...

[petershin_95]

Alright guys... for some reason, its not working.
My RAW images are not opening up on PS. I took some pics on RAW without noticing.
I also tried opening these RAW pictures on Bridge, then selecting them and moving them to PS and it still wont open up.
any ideas or different ways to do this? thanx guys. Any help will be appreciated.

You may need to update Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in. As new camera models were introduced, Adobe had to constantly update their plug-in to accomodate them. So, what version of Photoshop do you have, and what kind of camera are you using?

RAW is camera specific - so the software has to be compatible with the model of camera used. If you have the current version of Photoshop you should be able to update it, but if not you will probably need to either buy the update or use other software to convert the image before working with it in Photoshop.

photoshop elements 3 and above have plug ins for raw conversions at no cost.
Now that you've shot in raw you may never go back.

I use Thumbs Plus and the Digi Cam plugin. But my old Photoshop LE5 doesn't like the 12 bit per color TIFs Thumbs Plus will spit out. And I really haven't tried Photoshop Elements 3 with the TIF's. In fact I have to be careful with the TIF output from Thumbs plus as Thumbs Plus TIFF's will not load in photoshop elements 3 or photoshiop 5LE if do some TIFF compressions options.
