How To Update Camera Raw Manually

I've e'er had a problem installing a working version of Adobe Camera Raw. When the AdobePatchInstaller.exe it always comes upwardly with the error "Update is not applicable" shown beneath.

A brief history of Adobe Camera Raw

You can find a consummate list of camera raw versions for Windows 32bit on this page:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows

V2.4 to 5.1 – contains a file format plugin (32bit and 64bit) phone call "Photographic camera Raw.8bi" which is copied to the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\File Formats" path.

v5.2 to 5.7 – contains the file format plugin (in 8bi format) and Adobe kickoff to package in Camera Profiles (as .exe) also. Installation of the Photographic camera Profiles is simple every bit running the CameraProfiles.exe executable and information technology drops a whole bunch of files into "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw"

V5.7 – This the last version of the Camera Raw software that has a very uncomplicated install interface.

V5.viii to current – The install process changed and you need to run a application called AdobePatchInstaller.exe which so extracts the files, renames them and put them in the correct location.

However you yet want to install the files manually, as in my case, then continue reading.

To extract the camera raw file format plug in practise the following:

i) Click on AdobeCameraRaw6.0 binder (ie x64 if yous want the 64bit version otherwise use the one without information technology)
2) Double click the Assets2_1.aught
3) look for a file called "1003" and extract this. More contempo packages of camera raw have additional file which you tin can safely ignore.
four) rename this file to "Camera Raw.8bi" and install it to the location plugin binder for Photoshop.

Y'all tin can then skip the camera profiles if you really want. To extract the camera profiles navigate to the AdobeCameraRawProfiles6 folder and open the Assets2_1.null. This contains all the profiles just with a non standard name. The mapping between the ambiguous vs real names is independent the file called Media_db.db (a standard SQlite database) in the table chosen "installfile".

The prototype above is captured using the sqlite-manager plugin for firefox.

The simple way to do things

1) Download and install v5.vii of Camera Raw and Camera Profiles
2) Download the most contempo version of photographic camera raw supported by your photoshop version and manually extract file 1003 and rename and install it over the previous 1

Update – xx/01/2014

I but got myself a new 64bit organization with Win7 64bit. And so I had to reinstall my Photoshop C5 as 64bit and the latest Camera Raw.

I clicked on the link above and downloaded and unziped "AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate". From this file I extracted the "AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-x64-160512110605" folder which contained the file "Assets1_1.null". Inside the Assets zip file I institute a single file called 1002 (as per one of the commenter below). And then I renamed this file to "Camera Raw.8bi" and copied it to "C:\Programme Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\File Formats".

For the 32bit version I extraced the "AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-160512104601" folder which contained the file "Assets1_1.zip". Inside the Assets zip file I institute a single file called1003 which I renamed to "Camera Raw.8bi" and copied it to "C:\Programme Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\File Formats"

When I fired up Photoshop CS5 information technology complained that the version wasn't compatible! Going back to the original link I discovered that the final supported camera raw version for CS5 is 6.6 or – AdobeCameraRaw-6.6-mul-AdobeUpdate.null. The process and then was exactly the aforementioned and this fourth dimension Photoshop CS5 didn't mutter.
