The process then was exactly the same and this time Photoshop CS5 didn’t complain. When I fired up Photoshop CS5 it complained that the version wasn’t compatible! Going back to the original link I discovered that the last supported camera raw version for CS5 is 6.6 or –.
Inside the Assets zip file I found a single file called1003 which I renamed to “Camera Raw.8bi” and copied it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\File Formats” Then I renamed this file to “Camera Raw.8bi” and copied it to “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\File Formats”.įor the 32bit version I extraced the “AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-160512104601” folder which contained the file “Assets1_1.zip”. Inside the Assets zip file I found a single file called 1002 (as per one of the commenter below). From this file I extracted the “AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-圆4-160512110605” folder which contained the file “Assets1_1.zip”. I clicked on the link above and downloaded and unziped “AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate”. So I had to reinstall my Photoshop C5 as 64bit and the latest Camera Raw. I just got myself a new 64bit system with Win7 64bit.
The image above is captured using the sqlite-manager plugin for firefox.ġ) Download and install v5.7 of Camera Raw and Camera ProfilesĢ) Download the most recent version of camera raw supported by your photoshop version and manually extract file 1003 and rename and install it over the previous one The mapping between the cryptic vs real names is contained the file called Media_db.db (a standard SQlite database) in the table called “installfile”.
This contains all the profiles but with a non standard name. To extract the camera profiles navigate to the AdobeCameraRawProfiles6 folder and open the Assets2_1.zip. You can then skip the camera profiles if you really want. More recent packages of camera raw have additional file which you can safely ignore.Ĥ) rename this file to “Camera Raw.8bi” and install it to the location plugin folder for Photoshop. To extract the camera raw file format plug in do the following:ġ) Click on AdobeCameraRaw6.0 folder (ie 圆4 if you want the 64bit version otherwise use the one without it)ģ) look for a file called “1003” and extract this. If you click on the payloads folder you will see However you still want to install the files manually, as in my case, then keep reading. V5.8 to current – The install procedure changed and you need to run a application called AdobePatchInstaller.exe which then extracts the files, renames them and put them in the correct location.
V5.7 – This the last version of the Camera Raw software that has a very simple install interface. Installation of the Camera Profiles is simple as running the CameraProfiles.exe executable and it drops a whole bunch of files into “C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw” V5.2 to 5.7 – contains the file format plugin (in 8bi format) and Adobe start to package in Camera Profiles (as. V2.4 to 5.1 – contains a file format plugin (32bit and 64bit) call “Camera Raw.8bi” which is copied to the “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\File Formats” path. You can find a complete list of camera raw versions for Windows 32bit on this page: When the AdobePatchInstaller.exe it always comes up with the error “Update is not applicable” shown below.
How would YOU feel if I rearranged the keys on YOUR piano when you have a concert to play this afternoon? We need to WORK, we don't need to spend a day figuring out a new way to do what we already KNOW how to do with speedy efficiency.I’ve always had a problem installing a working version of Adobe Camera Raw.
You FORCE us to stop, regroup and relearn a thing we already know VERY well. I am not against learning new things but CROPPING is NOT NEW. Why must you "fix" what is not broken rendering obsolete our hard learned skills? New ways require NEW skills be learned. I will be just fine stuck with 12.1 if I can find out how to get it back. So here I am, in the immortal words of Don Henley "trying to find the passage back to the place I was before". I limit my complaint to TOOL PREFORMANCE here. We know the symbols, we see them, not a relearn issue. You want to put the tools on the right side, FINE, do it. You guys trashed CROPPING procedure (maybe other things also) for something "better". The new Camera Raw violates our learned skills.
Choose Help > Updates (when the update message is not displayed). Apply the update in one of the following ways: Click Install Now or Install On Exit in the update message displayed in Photoshop Elements. Am I whinning?.maybe, but PS perple have skill our workflow requires using no concious thought to perform. A new update to the Camera Raw plug-in is available, contains added raw support for newer camera models. Then, with one swing of the axe Adobe screwed up what wasn't broken. I spent years editing with Camera raw versions up to 12.1 without issue (just basic stuff.LIKE CROPPING). it just doesn't work the way it did (which was flawless btw).
