I'm sure this is here somewhere but I can't find it. I just recently upgraded my camera to Canon 5D MKIV. My workflow has been CS6 and Bridge. I found out quickly that I needed to upgrade to CC and I have and all my apps are upto date. RAW 9.8 let's me process the Canon 5D MKIV raw files but can't see previews when selecting the files. Bridge 2017 can't see the previews either. I know that bridge hasn't been updated to read those files and that Lightroom will. I really don't want to use Lightroom now but I am now previewing and sorting in Canons software and processing in Bridge 9.8. Also is a profile for Canon 5D MKIV coming for RAW 9.8 or an update soon. How about previews for RAW 9.8 when selecting files. Thanks for any help u can shed on this for me.                                                                                Gary F.

    What operating system are you using?

    On windows one won't see the previews in File Explorer without an optional codec and you might not see them in Finder on a mac, depending on which version of mac os x your using.

    Purging the thumbnail cache might resolve the isue for showing the thumbnails in bridge.

    If you press Shift+Ctrl+Alt or Shift+Command+Option just after starting the launch of bridge

    Then keep holding the keys down you should get a dialog as below

    Click on Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache and click Ok

    Hello

    I recently purchased a Canon 5D SR that shots 50MG file in RAW and Jpeg. The Jpegs open OK but not the RAW.

    I’m using a 27’ iMac with 5K screen , 3.5GHZ and 8GB Ram , using OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I use Photoshop 5.1. I have downloaded RAW updates but they are not detected by PS. With Bridge every time I close it tells me it accidentally quit.

    I know my version of PS is getting old. Any ideas

    thanks

    The latest version of Camera Raw for CS5 is version 6.7 

    That means the Canon Raws must be converted to DNG format in order to open in your old 6.7

    This will show you how to install and use the DNG Converter.

    Adobe Digital Negative Converter 9.x
