Crop Ratio Camera Raw / Scott Kelby Book for Digital Photographers

From the Book of Scot Kelby regarding the Camera Raw usage.
- The Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
Chapter 2. WWF Raw: The Essentials of Camera Raw > Cropping and Straightening
If you reopen your cropped photo again in Camera Raw, you’ll see the cropped version. To bring back the cropping border, just click on the Crop tool. To remove the cropping altogether, press the Esc or Delete (PC: Backspace) key on your keyboard (or choose Clear Crop from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu). If you want your photo cropped to an exact size (like 8×10″, 13×19″, etc.), choose Custom from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu to bring up the dialog you see here. You can choose to crop by inches, pixels, or centimeters.
In this topic Scott Kelby is explaining Crop Ratio for ACR 7.x
In this version there is the possibility for Crop Ratio to Inches, CM and Pixels. However with the Newer version this option is no longer available.
Hopefully this will safe some of you the time looking for this.

Precisely what Conrad Chavez says: a very good change.

  • How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

    How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

    The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio.  DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • Photoshop CS6 want to find camera raw plugin 8.3 for my nikon d610 can someone help me please...

    I just recently downloaded and installed photoshop cs6 and the highest camera raw update i have is camera raw 7 and my camera (NIKON D610) requires camera raw 8.3 i've updated the camera raw plugin to the highest thats available in the software update but i read that camera raw 8.3 is now available but i can't seem to locate it on the internet or adobe website to upgrade my camera raw plugin to 8.3. can someone please help me and show me where i can find a download link for camera raw 8.3 thank you for taking the time to read this and your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Why not update CS6 to use ACR 8.6? If CS 6 menu Help>Updates does not update ACR to 8.6 try downloading the update manually and inst stall it.

  • When will Camera Raw support .arw files for the new Sony RX-100?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 and just purchased the RX-100. Currently the .arw raw files the camera produces are not supported in Camera Raw. When will Adobe be supporting this format?

    No one can tell you when, but the new RX100 has support in the beta of Camera Raw 7.2 RC for Photoshop CS6 so I would guess that PSE11 will either ship with or could soon after be updated to ACR 7.2 with RX100 support.
    PSE10 is the current version, but in the past, a new version of Elements has come out about this time of year so sometime in the next couple months.
    What you can do right now is download the beta of the DNG Converter 7.2 RC from Adobe Labs which will convert a folder of ARW files to DNG files which can then be processed with older versions of Camera Raw including what comes with PSE10 or PSE9.
    You could also download and use the beta for Lightroom 4.2 RC from on Adobe Labs to work with your files natively until the beta expires by the end of October, but before then you’d probably have a new version of Elements that would work.  If you go the LR 4.2 RC route, you’d want to save your changes to XMP sidecars in LR so you could read them using ACR in Elements, later.
    Betas/RCs are available at: http://labs.adobe.com/

  • Lagging Crop in Camera RAW

    When cropping in Camera RAW, dragging the crop box is very slow and laggy, but it wasn't always this way. It used to be fast and responsive. I've tried clearing PS preferences, clearing Camera RAW cache, increasing Camera RAW cache, and none of this fixes the problem.

  • Is camera raw beta 5.4 for 64 bit machines only (PC)?

    That is was it seems to be saying when I try and install. If I ignore it and proceed it tells me to close Adobe Bridge, but it's not running.
    Hmm!

    Thank you for your advice, as you say it was active in the processes. It
    has installed OK and works.

  • A new Book: Color Management for Digital Photographers

    Ted Padova and Don Mason have published a new book: Color Management for Digital Photographers for Dummies (ISBN 978-0-470-04892-4).
    As the back cover of the manual states "This book is packed with examples to guide you through understanding color basics, correcting brightness and contrast, getting the exact tone and hue, and creating perfect prints - in full color, of course!" (with the tools available in PSE 4 and 5).
    I had the luck to benefit from the excellent experience and the gracious help of Don Mason for a color/brightness adjustment problem in a Dafodill photo that I did not know how to solve on my own. I look forward to learn much more from this book.
    Probably other PSE users could also be interested in this book.

    Yes, I've tried all of the options: Printer manages color, PSE manages color. All are the same dark prints.
    On another conversation on this forum, I read the following. Very discouraging to think that Adobe knows of this problem but won't give me any tech support because too much time has lapsed.
    I don't know what "plugs" are--sounds like this user figured out a way around it.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Re: Color mismatch EpsonR800 and Elements 6
    Adobe has admitted that there is a color management issue with PSE 6 for Mac. I have an Epson R1900 and I am now getting acceptable color-managed prints by allowing the Epson Printer driver to manage color management (ie; color management in PSE 6 turned off). The Epson Photoshop Plug In also works well with PSE6 and ICC profiles; however, I have yet to solve 2 problems with this particular plug in: (1) How to get the program to capture 3rd party ICC profiles and (2) how to print borderless prints. If anyone has seen a user guide for this particular plug in, I would be grateful to know how to download it.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes during "Export Book for Digital Editions"

    InDesign CS4 crashes each time I select "Export Book for Digital Editions." I tried deleting my preferences and then creating books that contain only two very simple INDD documents, but I still get this error:

  • Export book for digital editions crashes In Design

    When I create a book file and then select "Export Book for Digital Editions…" InDesign always crashes.
    But when I create a single InDesign file and select "Export for Digital Editions…" (from the File) menu everything works OK.
    InDesign does create an epub file from the book file but it obviously shouldn't crash and can I be sure that everything is OK with the epub file?
    I've manually deleted InDesign preferences - selected different options in the "Export Book" dialog - logging in as a different user - but still getting the same result…
    has anyone got a suggestion ? -

  • Scott Kelby books

    Scott Kelby has 2 new books out on Lightroom- Lightroom 4, and Lightroom 5. I have Lightroom 4, but have upgraded to 4.4- my question is should I get the Lightroom 5 book or the Lightroom 4 book? Is there a lot of difference between 4.4 , and 5? Will I ever get to Lightroom 5 through upgrades, or updates? visionsofnature.

    Lr5 is, for the most part, a superset of Lr4.  That said, it wasn't a quantum leap forward, with a huge bunch of complicated features that warrant explanation...
    If I were you, I'd get a list of "what's new in Lr5" and make sure you can get your mind around the new features. If not, then buy the book..
    The possible exception: Lightroom mobile came out with Lightroom 5.4, so if you'll use it, then it might be worth having a book to support that.
    Do an internet search for "what's new in Lightroom 5" - there is some good info from Adobe, and the Lightroom Queen...

  • Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

    I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
    Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
    My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
    Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS  - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
    Thanks
    Gor

    Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff.  In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
    This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
    UPDATE
    FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

  • Straighten and crop in Camera RAW

    If I am having difficulty in Camera RAW if I straighten a photo and then try to crop it.
    I place the line to straighten the photo and then I hit enter to complete the straightening.  If I then click on crop, the image returns to the state before I hit enter after straightening it. 
    How does one both straighten and crop in in Camera RAW?

    When the crop tool is active it will show you the original image with the crop tool outline within.  If you open the image or click on the magnifying glass it will apply the crop so you won't see the part around the crop border.
    Try this technique on an image that needs straightening (Note: Photoshop CS5):
    1.  Choose the Straighten tool, and drag a horizontal or vertical line.   When you release the mouse button you'll immediately see the crop tool activate
    2.  Click outside the crop tool border and move the mouse.  The crop border will rotate for fine tuning, and you can drag the corners to change the crop.
    3.  Turn it so that what's inside the crop will be straight.
    4.  Click on another tool besides Crop (e.g., the Magnifying Glass) to check the result.
    5.  If there's something wrong, go back to the Crop tool and adjust the outline.
