  • Cannot open RAW files after reinstalling Photoshop CS4

    I recently did a system restore in my computer because of the downgrading to Windows 7. However, after that I installed Design Premium to my PC, I am not able to open RAW files in Photoshop. He urged "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I tried to check the updates of Photoshop, but there is no update available. I tried to reinstall Design Premium, but the problem persists.

    My system configuration is as follows:

    • Windows 7 Professional x 64 (still to install Service Pack 1, but I don't think it really matters)
    • Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (Photoshop Version 11.0)
    • Canon EOS 50 d (Firmware Version 1.08)

    Anyone can have an idea on how to fix this? Thank you very much!

    Screenshot as follows:

    Error Message.jpg

    When you reinstalled CS4, you are returned to the original version.

    Now you must apply all the updates of Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw manually.

    You can't count on the automatic updater for Adobe to tell you that you are up-to-date.  This update has been broken for years, and which has been and is certainly the case with CS4.

    Adobe is a not regroup until CS6 updater.

    You must also manually update the ACR plug-in.

    It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.

  • After Reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening PSD files.

    After Reinstalling windows 7 has stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what is the problem. And how to fix it. Thank you.

    Maybe these files have been corrupted. I can't say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?

    If so, it is very rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try to reinstall photoshop. Then check that these files have been opened or not. In the opposite case. Then the only solution is a special software. I would use this program http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/ on your site

    (it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will be immune to such situations. )
