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?

I downloaded the latest version. I am a retired professional photographer and a current computer consultant. So you are basically telling me things I've known for a very long time. The money issue is not the big issue. It is the time needed to completely make CS6 work with my additional software. It is also a matter of not wanting to clutter up the rather small (as a lot of SSD drives are) C drive on the laptop...and all of these installations create clutter as you well know. Unless you use something such as REVO to uninstall, there are fragments everywhere. As a result, I'm going to have to install it all on the larger D drive, which is also infuriating as this machine was built for speed with an SSD drive, dual quad cores, 16gb ram...and being forced to upgrade isn't making me happy at this point!

Now, I've downloaded the trial, although I intend to buy, but I just wanted to check out the T4i information. The T4i is just one of many, many cameras. As I've said, I've had Photoshop since PS4, not CS4...it is more a matter of having to now re-do Nik software, On-One software, Topaz software, all to work with CS6. I used the Adobe Application Manager and it automatically did CS6 64 bit, but now I have to see if they have extended, because I have CS5 Extended.

Then, I have two main computers that I use...A Dell T7400 and an IBM W701, So I will be at least two days doing all of this, including fonts, brushes, actions that I have made or saved. This is why I wasn't so eager to upgrade. After I downloaded the trial, I had to download and install the 7.1 Camera Raw patch, and then finally I could open the files.

If money is not an object, and you're looking to get the best possible performance out of SSD storage, may I suggest doing what I did on my Precision T5400 - create a big 2 TB C: drive out of an array of SSDs. I can provide you specifics to create a rock solid and incredibly fast setup if you'd like. Everything is instantaneous, and Photoshop CS6 works great.

With 1.8 gigabytes/second sustained disk throughput and near zero latency I can hardly notice when Photoshop accesses its scratch file.

Trying to use SSD storage any other way (e.g., on the cheap) is simply paddling upstream. You might be able to get there, but you don't get all the benefits you could and you do get ongoing problems.
