I just downloaded a new version of Photoshop after the black Friday sale, and tried to open some .ARW files from my Sony a6300.

Unfortunately the app is giving me the "unable to open, this is the wrong type of file"

Now I can download the DNG: Adobe Digital Negative Converter but i'll be working with Alpha Raw a lot.

As you can see I have the latest camera raw update, why can't I open ARW??? AHhhhh. Thanks!

And does the DNG converter work on these files?

Hello, did you try other .ARWs, or just a single one? The file might be corrupted ?

Have you been able to open files from this particular A6300 in a previous version of Camera Raw/Photoshop?

You could try resetting Camera Raw‘s preferences:

One other thought.... Do you already have Photoshop open when attempting to open the raw files? Perhaps the files are trying to open in an old version of Photoshop?

Damn, Benjamin, I missed the OP mentioning the A6300.
