Cant open my RAW Files in CS5 or Bridge

Hi Jaseysmaree,

First off I have no idea which camera you have. Most cameras provide a Mark I, Mark II, etc. so I've no idea if you have a Canon, Olympus, or what.

Also, the CS5 set was released ten years ago. Please do not buy a new computer or that set will fail. Both by the hardware and by the OS.

The only think I can think of is that you download the DNG Converter and convert all of your raw images into DNG images (FWIW I do that for all my images anyway and has nothing to do with your current need. I just think it's a good thing to do.) By making your raw images into DNG images, you are sidestepping the whole issue of the need for updated ACR plugins.

Lastly, after 10 years you've certainly gotten your moneys worth out of those applications, you might want to consider getting the latest versions, you'd be amazed at how much improvement you'll see in your images. One time I was looking for a travel tripod and was holding a $50 unit. The salesman looked at my camera and then the tripod and asked me why I would put a camera worth thousands on a tripod that was $50? I then bought a $300 tripod and have loved it ever since. My point is why would you buy a new Mark III (whatever camera) and rely upon 10 year old software to process your images? 

It's your business and your money, just asking...
