I cannot access Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in although it's listed in CS6 "PHOTOSHOP" menu along with my other plug ins.  And I can't find it on my iMAC (10.9.5)

In CS6, how do I access the Adobe Camera Raw plug in that's listed with my other (easily accessible) plug ins:  I can't find it through "automate", or "Filter" or "extensions"..  I am on iMAC 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

I believe camera raw as a filter is CC only. You can access camera raw by selecting a raw, tiff or jpg image from your drive. Raw is the only one that will open by default. You must tell camera raw to open tiff and jpg in the preferences.
You can also use file>open or file>place then specify camera raw as file type. In this case it will open any of the three formats without changing the preferences.
Once the image is in Photoshop, it should be a smart object if you choose open as object instead of open as image in camera raw. As a smart object, you can double click on the thumbnail in the layers panel. This will open camera raw with that image.

    How do i access adobe camera raw for images fro Nikon D 7100.

    Since photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7 and the Nikon D7100 requires at least camera raw 7.4, photoshop cs5 won't open those files directly.

  • I cannot access the camera raw as a filter function in PS CC.

    Am I missing something? I've seen videos where you can change a layer to smart filter and then use camera raw, but I don't have this option available. In addition, while in camera raw I do not have the same features as the videos from Terry White in terms of fixing vertical and horizontal lines. I have the sliders in lens correction but not the icon buttons.

    Am I missing something?
    Yes. The end of the announcement - CC versions won't be available before June.

  • Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down?

    HI,
    I was wondering if there might be a way to get a direct link to Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down menu along with the other choices?

    I would think you'd just need to select the Adobe Application you're using... whichever that one is, then the APP would know what to do with RAW.

  • Has anyone encountered this error message with Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in?

    Ever since I installed the Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in for Elements 8 I get the following error message when I launch Editor:
    "The Application or DLL C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8 \File Formats\Win 64\Camera Raw. 8 bi is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette" 
    (As I downloaded the plug-in I don't have the option of checking against the installation diskette as the error message suggests.)
    If I click OK on the error message the launch process re-commences and Editor eventually opens and operates effectively.
    Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might remove this error message? Alternatively, do I run a risk by continuing to simply ignore the error message?
    Thanks

    Delete the camera raw 8bi file from the File Formats folder.

  • +++ Adobe Camera Raw - Frequently Asked Questions +++

    Q: Is my camera supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)?
    A: Here is the list of cameras officially supported by the current version of Adobe Camera Raw and Digital Negative (DNG) converter. The page also provides links to the current version of ACR and DNG converter for both Mac and Windows.
    Q: what version of Camera Raw should I install?
    A: Photoshop CS6: see first question.
    Photoshop CS5: Camera Raw 6.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 4: Camera Raw 5.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 3: Camera Raw 4.6 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 2: Camera Raw 3.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS: Camera Raw 2.4 Win | Mac
    For Photoshop Elements, Windows:
    Photoshop Elements 10: (See first question)
    Photoshop Elements 9: Camera Raw 6.5
    Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
    Photoshop Elements 7 and 6:  Camera Raw 5.6

    Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
    Photoshop Elements 6: Camera Raw 5.6
    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6 ( 4.1 under Mac OS 10.3)
    Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
    Q: What version of Camera Raw started to support my camera?
    A: This page: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111 lists when support for the raw files of your camera was added in Camera Raw. If the version listed is higher than the one supported by your version of Camera Raw, you first need to convert the files to DNG using the latest version of the DNG converter in order to open them in Camera Raw.
    Q: I do not have the latest version of Photoshop, how can I open the Raw files from my new camera?
    A: Only the current version of Photoshop will receive ACR updates that add support for the latest cameras. However, you can download the latest version of the DNG converter, and use it to transform your raw files to the universal DNG format. Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS and all newer versions of Camera Raw compatible with your version of Photoshop will be able to open the DNG files. Photoshop 7 and ACR 1.0 do not support DNG, therefore you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
    Q: When will the new update of Adobe Camera Raw be released?
    A: Adobe cannot comment on unannounced products, however, it is expected that ACR and DNG converter will be simultaneously updated 3 or 4 times per year (i.e. every 3 or 4 months).
    Q: What does "Unofficial Support" for a camera mean?
    A: Unofficial support means that Adobe's Quality Engineering department has not tested the support to the degree that they want, and thus cannot guarantee the results. So we don't include the camera in our official lists, and don't provide any technical support. Unofficial support means "use at your own risk".
    Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
    A: For Photoshop CS customers, the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the Updates option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
    Q: Why is the profile listed in the Calibration tab showing a version of Adobe Camera Raw that's older than I am using ?
    A: What you are seeing is normal, and is due to the fact that the built-in profile for your particular camera model hasn't changed between that version of Adobe Camera Raw and the version you're using now. If you see the profile listed as "beta" then your camera has only unofficial support.
    Q: Why is there more than one profile listed in the Calibration tab of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: The built-in profile for your particular camera model has changed since it was first supported. The profile shown by default identifies the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw in which the profile was updated. Other profiles in the drop-down list identify those included with earlier versions of Adobe Camera Raw, and are available in case you want to maintain compatibility with earlier versions.
    Q: My camera is listed, but Photoshop cannot read its raw files.
    A: Download and install the most recent update to Adobe Camera Raw.
    Q: Where can I download the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: Adobe Camera Raw for: Macintosh and Windows
    Q: I am trying to replace my existing ACR plug-in with a more recent version, but cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder. Where is it located now?
    A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the correct location is:
    Photoshop CS2
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
    Note that "Common Files" is localized in non-english versions of Windows.
    Q: Why do I only see a small generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files?
    A: Bridge occasionally has difficulty with RAW files, but this is usually because the user has installed ACR into the wrong location or browsed the folder prior to installing the ACR plug-in that provides support for their particular camera model. The fix for this issue is usually to make absolutely sure that ACR is installed correctly, then purge the Bridge cache. If you're in the habit of using the Distributed cache (Bridge 1.x) it would be prudent to manually delete the cache files from the folder containing your RAW files.
    Q: Whenever I open an image in Adobe Camera Raw a small explanation mark within a yellow triangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the image.
    A: This symbol indicates that a high quality preview is being generated by Adobe Camera Raw. It should disappear after a couple of seconds.
    Q: How do I turn off Auto Adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw 3.x?
    A: Open Adobe Camera Raw. On the Mac press Cmd+U or on the PC Ctrl+U. This keystroke combination toggles Auto Adjustments On and Off. Alternatively, disable the Auto Adjustments setting from the fly-out menu adjacent to the Setting drop-down menu. If you want the default to be Off for Auto Adjustments simply choose "Save New Camera Raw Default" from the fly-out menu adjacent to the "Settings" drop-down menu then choose Done.
    Q: What about Adobe Camera Raw 3.7 and newer versions?
    A: Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments. One Auto control at the top of the panel now sets the Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to their auto values. The Default control at the top of the panel sets these same four sliders to their default values. The keyboard shortcut for the Auto control is CMD/CTRL-U.
    The keyboard shortcut for the Default control is CMD/CTRL-R.
    Double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its default value.
    Shift double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its auto value.
    Q: Why do I get the the following message: "Unable to create an .xmp sidecar file. The image settings will instead be stored in the Adobe Camera Raw database."
    A: This message means that Adobe Camera Raw is unable to write to the XMP sidecar file. Either the media is read-only (e.g. a CD), or you don't have write access to the folder containing the image, or the existing XMP sidecar file is locked.
    Q: I cannot see all the tools and buttons of Adobe Camera Raw.
    A: Set your monitor resolution to the minimum required for Photoshop CS and higher, i.e. 1024x768.
    Q: Where can I obtain a listing of Adobe Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts and modifiers?
    A: On the Photoshop online help file.
    Q: When I open my Nikon NEF files, all I see is the simple version of the raw dialog.
    A: You are running Nikon's plug-in, not Adobe's. Delete from Photoshop's plug-in folder and all subfolders all copies of the "Nikon NEF plugin". Nikon automatically installs this plug-in in up to two places inside Photoshop's plug-in folder, and both must be deleted. Otherwise it overrides the Adobe plug-in. An alternative to the deletion is adding ~ in front of the Nikon plug-ins names.
    Q: I installed the update. I can now open my raw files, but I still cannot see thumbnails in the file browser.
    A: Purge the file browser cache for the problem folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for this folder.
    Q: Is it better to resize my images in Camera Raw, or in Photoshop?
    A: The resampling code is fairly similar to (but not exactly the same as) the "Bicubic Sharper" resampling in Photoshop CS and CS2. It does not make very much difference which stage you do the resampling in. The exception is non-square pixel cameras (Nikon D1x and Fuji S2 Pro), for which it is best to upsample one size step in Camera Raw if you need a larger image.
    Q: What are raw images, and how do they differ from JPEG ones?
    A: Read this whitepaper (1MB PDF) written by Bruce Fraser for a concise answer.

    You can check compatibility yourself:
    1.  Go to this page to see the different releases:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
    2.  Navigate into the download link for the appropriate version of Camera Raw.
    3.  Follow the link to the ReadMe (e.g., http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf).
    4.  Look to see whether your camera is supported.
    5.  If your camera is NOT supported, you can use the free Adobe DNG converter to create .dng files that your Camera Raw will be able to open.
    Photoshop CS6 is anticipated to be out in a few months, and Camera Raw is supposed to have a whole new approach, so a lot of us are excited about anticipating that.

  • How to get Adobe Camera RAW loaded so I can open RAW files from a Panasonic LX7?

    I opened these images two days ago. Now I get a message that the CS6 Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. I went online and again(3rd time)downloaded Camera RAW 7.3 and tried installing and opening the images.
    Once again - same thing.
    Now I have something called a DNG converter on the machine and I don't know what it is.
    I opened it and tried to get to the LX7 files in my computer I can see in Bridge - and the DNG converter does not show the files at all.
    I was doing just fine with CS5 - then I bought this piece of crap because I could not get an update for CS5 to open the Panasonic Lumix LX7 images. So, I wasted $200 on CX6 only to find I can't get my images opened.
    I hate photoshop more every damn day
    First, took three days and over 9 hours wasted on hold for Adobe phone help - and finally got a guy on to help me register Photoshop CS6 - and he could not get it to register. Finally after a day & a half and hours of continually cutting and pasting from teh online computer to the main computer that does not hook up to the Internet I got CS6 to work.
    Then, I opened the Panasonic LX7 RAW images twice after downloading and installing Adobe Camera RAW 7.1 and 7.3 - and now the machine does not recognize the files and tells me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111
    I went there and have downloaded the Camera Raw 7.1 and 7.3 four different times now and tried installing it - and Still can't open the damn files. I keep getting the same "photoshop cannot open this file" message and teh same referenc to teh above.
    How can I get this piece of Shiz to work???
    Oh - the name for ID above is after 22 minutes of trynig to find an name this program would accept.

    The first thing I would suggest is, in Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw to verify what version is installed. There should only be one version listed, and listed only once. If there are more, then you need to get rid of the extras.
    The DNG converter is a program that will create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw images. It takes all of the raw image data and copies it to a new file format. The raw data is unmodified, and the DNG file is a standardized and open documented file format. But the DNG converter will not list the actual files. You choose the folder that contains your original raw images, and then the converter will put the copies wherever you choose to put them. But if your camera is supposed to be supported by the latest version of Camera Raw, I don't know if converting will solve the problem. It won't hurt anything; your raw files are still intact.
    It would be helpful if you could describe your computer; operating system, how much RAM, a little information to allow the experts (of which I am NOT one) to help you isolate and solve this problem.

  • Adobe Camera Raw and Aperture

    Ok.. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because if what I am saying is actually true, then Aperture has some seriously frustrating issues.
    I use Aperture 3 to organize my photos and to do minor corrections, but the majority of my photo editing takes place in Photoshop CS5. I shoot in Raw so I expect to be able to use Adobe's wonderful Camera Raw plugin before opening a photo in Photoshop.
    Aperture gives you the ability to edit a photo in Photoshop and have the edited photo go back into Aperture. Thats a great feature. Unfortunately, it seems that if I try to send a raw photo from aperture to photoshop, it will not open in the Adobe Camera Raw plug in. It simply opens in photoshop. If I just drag the thumbnail from aperture into photoshop, it will open the camera raw dialogue and everythings great.. but if I do it that way, it will not update in aperture once I am done editing.
    It would be totally fine if I could just save the photoshop file and reimport it into aperture, but when I do that, it just shows up as a blank white photo, instead of the actual photo.
    So long story short there is no way to use Aperture AND adobe camera raw. I don't want to use Bridge.
    or is there???? Please give me a solution here or I want my money back.
    Or is there a way to reopen the camera raw function in photoshop, once the photo is already opened?
    Thanks for your help!

    I understand your concern, as I wondered the same thing. You might want to read http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11666552&#11666552
    regarding a possible workflow for your situation (altho' they are using CS3, not CS5).
    I use CS4 but want to move to CS5 to get the additional features of ACR (excellent noise reduction, lens-specific aberration controls, etc.) Thus, my interest in using ACR vs AP3 for some of my images.
    I know now that AP3 is doing RAW processing at the moment of import, and that 'file' is no longer able to be processed by ACR via AP3. I was wondering about your trick of dragging the thumbnail to Photoshop and having it open in ACR. I cannot duplicate this, and I've tried different methods. If I could do this, that would be half the battle. (Can you enlighten me?) I will also take a look at Catapult.
    I know of no way to open ACR while an image is open in Photoshop (APS). The plugin seems to kick in only when you open it from Bridge or the Finder.
    Regarding the blank white photo, I'm assuming it is a PSD with no thumbnail. I have seen this when I import 'old' PSD's into AP3. I fixed this by going into the Preferences in APS, under File Handling/File Compatibility make sure you set 'Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility' to 'Always'. Then, you must open the blank white photo files and Save As... the same file name to overwrite the blank one. You should then see the thumbnail. (Also in APS Preferences, set File Saving Options, Image Preview to 'Always Save').
    Granted, not having the option of easily using ACR is a tough pill to swallow for those of us who are in the Bridge/APS camp. I will readily forgo the 'pleasures' of using Bridge for AP3. I will NEVER give up APS since I need layers and graphic/text capabilities it offers. So a smooth interaction between AP3 and APS is a must for me. However, AP3 offers so much more than Lightroom, that I won't look back, now that I've made the switch. Good luck!
