Cannot update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1

When I try to update Camera Raw from 6.7 to 7.1, from the 7.1 setup file I downloaded, I get the error:

"Update failed

Updates could not be applied

This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available."

If I go to help in Photoshop CS5 and click on updates, it says that all of my programs are up to date, but Camera Raw is still 6.7. It absolutely refuses to update to 7.1

I just traded in my Nikon D3100 for a Nikon D3200 and 6.7 does not support it, but 7.1 does, so I REALLY need it to upgrade because I like to shoot in RAW.

Please help????

You can open the RAW files from a D3200 in the latest ViewNX2 which is free from Nikon.

I am still dealing with the DNG converter, thanks Adobe for the converter, but no thanks at all for don't suppor CS5.5, I think I lose a lot of money in your products, I cannot open my RAW (without workarrounds) files with your software, especifically CS5.5 photoshop exended.

You know camera raw is a great plugin and you are forcing us to upgrade in order to have the version 7.1

Why you dont sale Camera Raw as an independent product? mmm.... maybe I know.

PD. my recomendation, if you are a CS6 customer, be aware than maybe your next camera will be supported only in CS7, and you have to pay the updrage, if you are planing to upgrade your camera don't buy CS6 wait until CS7.

Marco, you have paid for an upgrade to a new camera that became available after the previous version of the Adobe software was released.

Why is it difficult to think that you need to pay for new software that became available after the camera came out to support it?

Sure, it would be nice if Adobe was kind to existing users, but since they don't really face customers going to the (non-existent) competition, they can clearly make more money selling you new software.

But it's not all bad - don't look now but there ARE some very nice new features and enhanced image quality in the new version that alone make it worth paying for.

Yes. You need to upgrade. Upgraded hardware frequently causes people to purchase updated software. Just like updated software frequently causes people to purchase updated hardware. There is a price to be paid for owning the latest and greatest.

Ok, so I have to pay to upgrade from 6.7 to 7.1? Seriously? Do you know how much? Geez, I just bought CS5 not too long ago now I have to pay to get an update to Camera Raw, really?

Thanks Victoria for your answer and for the workaround,

But If RAW files are not an standard, sure canon provided the most recent RAW format specification to Adobe, because you already implemented in Camera Raw 7.1.

The question is why you (Adobe) don’t permit use the 7.1 version to CS5 and CS5.5 owners.

It is not a technical limitation I think it is a commercial decision. (Not fare at all for all your customers who wants to update their cameras).

Sure I am not forced to upgrade, but it is a shame that my OLD software CS5.5 software don’t support the current RAW files specification. CS5.5 It is NOW OBSOLETE. Not supported, not upgradable (at least from the RAW perspective.

Should we avoid shoot RAW to use CS5.5. or use the proposal work around. What a shame.

Regards,

Marco.

Hah! One would think that would be the case, but it's not. Neither Canon nor Nikon shares any details with Adobe, like, for instance, Pentax does. Adobe engineers have to get their hands on each camera model, test them and develop their own profiles.

The DNG Converter is free. It's not reasonable to expect Adobe to provide a plug-in for non-supported versions of Photoshop. What is reasonable is to expect prospective camera buyers to make sure their camera is supported by their software of choice before paying for the camera.

You could also pressure Canon to support the DNG format in-camera.
