Lightroom 3.4 and Camera Raw 6.4

I like the interface. There were some subtle changes. I don't like the import dialogue menu. Find it more confusing that the previous dialogue box setup. Suggestions:
1) Add a 3rd level customization. I take a lot of images per month and sometimes on the same day and it would be create folders for those events instead of importing them with a custom name and drag n drop the files into a folder later.
2)Add option to modify date format, and customization.
3) Add video editing tab in future releases. Maybe in LR4 or 5. I use a Canon 5D Mark II now and I can do HD video. It would be nice if there was a tab for some basic video editing. Something similar to iMovie 3.
Needs Improvements:
1) The Sharpening tools. The algorithms are ok but LR can do better. It would be nice to have more control over what is being sharpened such as luminosity.
2) Vignetting has improved but we are still limited on some parameters.
Keep
1) I noticed the shadow when you scroll to the photos in the lower pane in the develop tab and library tab. That's cool. 
I'll add more suggestions in the days to come.
Cheers,
Claudia Robinson

First off, you know there's a Lightroom Feature Request forum, right?
As far as the sharpening is concerned, LR is already only sharpening the luminance data not the color data. You already have the ability to add edge masking and you can subtract the strength of the sharpening in the Detail panel by using a minus sharpening Adjustment Bush. Pretty important to understand how to use a tool before going to far when asking for changes...

  • Lightroom 2.3 and Camera Raw 5.3 Available - Note from Adobe

    Hi All:
    based on the good work of Dorin above (post #19), he did a timeline of various releases of Lightroom from Adobe and it shows that from "version x RC" to "final release version" was around 1 month.
    as it is already exactly one month now, it must not be too much longer till they will release the LR2.3 Final Version.
    As for what Robert said in post #23, well, there's never any "guarantee" on a problem-free piece of software, or, for that matter, anything one purchases or anything in life, actually!! Yet, one can make educated extrapolations, right? From the range of comments thus far on LR2.3RC, it appears that it is the best version yet of LR2.x. This leads to the conclusion that it is probably a "good bet" that this version will likely lead to the least amount of issues, right? Maybe not "zero issues", but most likely, the least amount of issues from the various LR2.x versions available.
    So by waiting, say, merely 1-3 more weeks approximately, i can go directly from LR1.4 (which i've been using for many months) to LR2.3 Final Release Version. It seems like it is a prudent and conservative move or plan.
    What do the good folks here think, please?
    thanks in advance for helping me to mull this over. If i were a PC expert, i'd be thinking about this less. as i'm just a somewhat competent user, and not a whiz, i thought that a bit of care and planning it out intelligently can possibly reduce frustrations later.

  • I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
    Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
    All help is welcome,
    Thanks

    No, the older versions are not free.  If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe.  You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.

    Here is a draft of my final release notes for working with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 5.7:
    Viewing Lightroom 3 settings in Camera Raw 5.7
    Before working in conjunction with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files.  By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightroom’s develop module.  However, at this time Camera Raw 5.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
    Highlight      Priority and Color Priority post-crop vignette
    Enhanced      Luminance and Color Noise Reduction
    Grain effects
    Process Version
    Lightroom is also dependent on a compatible version of the Camera Raw plug-in for the "Edit in Photoshop" functionality to work properly.  Camera Raw 5.7 will ensure that Lightroom 3 beta 2 will maintain that compatible functionality with Photoshop CS4.

    That seems to clarify the interoperability of ACR 5.7 and LR 3.  Thank you for that, Mr. Hogarty.
    Now, for the benefit of those of use who are not and/or will not be using Lightroom 3 for whatever reason, perhaps Mr. Chan or you can address the question of whether ACR 5.7 RC has a different or improved Noise Reduction functionality over that of ACR 5.6, and/or whether this will be the case for the final, GM release of ACR 5.7.  Let's leave any and all versions of LR out of the equation for a second, please.
    I think I see improved Noise Reduction in ACR 5.7 RC, but I wonder if this is real or whether I've just improved my skills in handling the noise reduction sliders since earlier versions. 
    Thanks.

  • Lightroom 2.3 and Camera Raw 5.3

    I've been Googling and searching high and low on my harddrive, for a location for the Camera Raw.8bi file. I've downloaded the new v5.3, and wanted to replace/update, but I cannot figure where I'm supposed to put the .8bi file.
    PS! I don't have Photoshop installed, I only have Lightroom.

    On Windows, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats. But you don't need it for Lightroom, and you don't have what to do with it without Photoshop CS4.
    If you already have Lightroom 2.3 — that's all you need, if not — update Lightroom.

    The same ACR 4.2 plugin is used for CS3 and for PSE5.0...
    According to Adobe's ACR 4.2 readme:
    > The Camera Raw 4.2 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS3 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Macintosh or Photoshop Elements 5.0 for Windows.
    So you should be good to go with PSE5.0, just download/install your plugin.

    Thanks for your update Tom.
    I will install both but wanted to ask about a recovery slider issue I was seeing with Canon RAW files & homemade DNG profiles in Lightroom.
    The recovery slider was shifting colors towards magenta as more was applied..
    Has this been addressed with the ACR 5.5 release?
    If so, do I need to re-make all of me homemade DNG profiles after installing ACR 5.5?

    Just downloaded DNG_Camera_Raw_4_2.zip (for Windows), and the DNG Converter 4.2 indeed converts Sony A-700 ARW files so Camera Raw 3.7 can happily develop them. Never expected ACR support for the A-700 to happen so quickly; this camera was officially introduced last week and and will be available for purchase from next month on or so. Well done, Sony and Adobe!
    And no, I don't have an A-700; I downloaded the ARW files from the Internet.

  • Problems with Nikon Coolpix P7700 and Lightroom 4.4 with camera raw 7.4.

    When I import raw (NRW) files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) from my Nikon Coolpix P7700 to Lightroom 4.4 (camera raw 7.4) it seems that Lightroom doubles file sizes. In Metadata section I can see that picture´s file size is 25.xx Mb. Camera´s sensor size is, however, only 12 Mb. I have also Nikon D300 and imported raw files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) in Lightroom 4.4. are varying between 12.xx and 16.xx Mb. I´m very confused about the situation. I have iMac 27" (late 2007) and operating system is Mac OSX 10.8.4. Can somebody explain what is happening. Is there a bug in Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 or what?
    Thank you in advance
    Eero

    You are mixing megapixels (your camera takes 12 megapixel photos) with megabytes (the file size). These two different units cannot be compared, and I conclude from the numbers you have provided that nothing is wrong.

  • "Edit In" Photoshop CC not working for RAW or DNG files after applying LR 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3

    I just applied the Lightroom 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3 updates and now am no longer able to open RAW or DNG files into Photoshop CC. When I select a file and choose "Edit In" Photoshop, photoshop will launch, then nothing will happen. After 2 to 5 minutes, an error will popup in Lightroom saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." An error I've never seen before. When I click "Ok", Lightroom will show that it's "preparing a file for editing" in the upper left, it will create and save a psd to disk and in the catalog (another new behavior), then it will open in photoshop. All other file types (jpgs, tiff, psd) seem to work/open fine between applications. No difference if I open photoshop prior to selecting "Edit In". Selecting "Edit In" other applications, like Viveza, work fine.
    I tried first deleting preference files in both applications. No luck. Ditto for plugins. Notta. Eventually I completely uninstalled and fresh installed Photoshop, Lightroom, and Bridge from the cloud. Same deal...can't open raw/dng files into Photoshop.
    I'm at a complete loss, dead in the water, with a mountain of editing work piling on top of me. Kicking myself for applying the upgrades, which I had been delaying for some time to avoid just such a cluster%#$. Ugh.
    I'm on a PC running Windows 7 64bit.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR.  Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

  • Curious question about Lightroom previews and Camera Raw Cache

    Posted in the Flickr Lightroom Group as well:
    I have noticed something about the Lightroom (3.6) previews and Camera Raw cache that have me puzzled.
    I create a brand new empty catalog and purge the Camera Raw Cache.
    Then I import ONE Nikon RAW (NEF) file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 megapixels - 10,036,224 pixels).
    Next I export that NEF file to an uncompressed 8-bit TIFF file. You would expect the size of that TIFF file to be roughly 30 megabytes (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is 30,135,830 bytes in size. If you export the same TIFF file but specify ZIP compression the resulting file size is 10,834,038 bytes. Obviously the compression obtained here is going to be highly specific to the image but so far no surprises.
    During import I specify render 1:1 previews and I go into Loupe mode and view the entire image at 1:1 size. I also visit the develop module and do a bunch of manipulations on the image but no cropping.
    At the conclusion of all of that I exit from Lightroom and examine the size of the Camera Raw Cache folder as well as the Lightroom previews folder. It would be my expectation that the previews folder  should have a rendered full image and that the Camera Raw Cache should also have a rendered form of the raw data. What would you expect the size of those respective folders to be?
    In fact - in my trials the previews folder totals a mere 1,675,264 bytes and the Camera Raw Cache which contains one DAT file corresponding to the one cached image is merely 267,374 bytes. This does not seem like nearly enough bits to preserve the rendered image nor is there a full size image tucked away in the actual catalog either - that file is not large enough to contain that. And yet I can use Loupe mode at 1:1 size and move from image to image with no loading delays (even when importing multiple files).
    I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious in my analysis and if not, whether someone might care to speculate as to what magic Adobe is practicing here. Even if we grant them some special algorithm to compress their previews I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much greater than the ZIP-compressed TIFF file achieves.
    And for those that might think to ask - I've repeated these experiments with multiple raw images and on both the PC and MAC platforms.
    I look forward to some answers or interesting theories or perhaps someone might replicate the experiment and report findings.

    MadMan and Hal - thanks so much.
    So that was my D'Oh moment of what I was missing - the use of re-rendered JPGS as previews. That certainly does fit with the file sizes I am seeing. I had naively assumed that the previews might have tried to preserve the full fidelity of the image - But as you suggest that full fidelity is likely only there in the develop module.
    This perhaps explains another observation from the Develop module - moving from one image to another might display "Loading" either briefly or across a longer duration. My guess is that the length of the loading process might have to do more with what is cached in RAM than cached on disk in the camera raw cache. More of a shame then that 64-bit Lightroom on 64-Bit Windows cannot grab more RAM than it seems to do at present.
