5.6 raw converter turns pure white into purple

i bought a canon 7D in early october and i still can't use PS cs4 to convert my raw files -- even the newest version (5.6) turns the highlights *purple*
has anyone else noticed this? is there a workaround? will adobe fix it soon? i hope so -- that's why i'm posting this in "feature requests."
please help -- i really need to get my workflow back!!!

Is this an sRAW or mRAW? The beta 7D support in ACR 5.5 had an issue with regular RAW format, and ACR 5.6RC still has a problem with at least sRAWs.
Eric (MadManChan) at Adobe is aware of sRAWs still not working right:

Audio Converter turns all songs into 00:00:00 len

All the mp3s I converted to 64kbps wma turned into songs with 00:00:00 length, with a couple exceptions. Is there any way to gain back the lengths of each of them, or will I be stuck listening to them without being able to skip around when I transfer them to my Zen Micro? :-/
Thanks.

Do I have to re-convert them into another unmonitered folder in order for them to retain their song lengths?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found that if you convert them into another un-monitored folder, the track length will be correct. It may be a bug of the Media Sniffer.
After the conversion, you can then move the converted files to the monitored folders.
That's it! It works now. Thanks a bunch! What a weird bug in the software.
To the previous poster: Windows Media Player displayed the correct song lengths, but Creative Organizer AND Creative Zen (the player) would display the 0:00 song length so I couldn't skip around them. It would only play from start to finish with no way of fast-forwarding.

Converting RAW images to black & white

Hello,
I am trying to use the Adobe RAW Converter of PSE 12 to convert a RAW image (that was shot in monochrome) to grayscale, BUT the grayscale tab is missing? Any idea, where this tabe went to?
Thanks you,
Karen

Try clicking the open image button (bottom right) to send the photo into the regular editor as an 8 bit file.
Then use the menu:
Image >> Mode

How do I turn an image into a transparency?

Hi,
There's a question I've seen asked dozens or hundreds of times, and I thought I found an answer a few years ago. I've since forgotten how to do it:
Turn an image into a transparency.
Now, the obvious solution is to set the layer to "multiply." Yes, this is the effect I want. However, I want the layer to be transparent instead.
Another solution is to draw an image on a transparent layer. This works great, but only applies if I create the image from scratch. I want to convert an existing image.
Another solution is multiple steps:
1) Copy image
2) Click "edit in quick mask mode."
3) Paste image
4) Exit quick mask mode.
5) Invert selection.
6) Ctrl+backspace to fill selection with black, on a blank transparent layer.
Result? The image is now transparent! However, this converts the image to greyscale! Great for linework and text, terrible for photos or art!
In an older version of Photoshop 7, I believe I got the following to work:
A) Follow the previous steps 1-6, creating a layer with transparency
B) Copy the original picture to a layer above the transparency
C) Group the layer with the transparency layer below. (Note, grouping doesn't work the same any more.)
D) The top layer provides the colors, but the bottom layer provides the transparency.
E) It is too light, so you take the top layer, and maximize "saturation" 100%.
F) Merge the two layers. It retains the transparency of the bottom layer, with the hue of the top layer.
This no longer works, because I don't know how grouping layers works anymore.
So, I need white pixels to be transparent. Black pixels to have zero transparency. Red pixels to have zero transparency. Etc.
Meanwhile, grey pixels are solid black, but partly transparent. Pink pixels are solid red, but partly transparent.
All pixels are 100% saturated, and the "lightness" is determined by how transparent they are.
So, an analogy would be printing a photo on a transparency. I need to convert an image to a transparency.
If the image/layer were overlaid on white, it would look exactly like the original photo.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Mathematically, it's easy. But I don't know about any filter, process, or method to make the conversion using CS5.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello!
I hope that I understand what you need.
(One could just put the image on a layer, and lower its opacity, but you seem to be looking for an effect in wich the tranparency is not the same for all pixels.)
Try this:
1) Turn your image image as a layer (double-click it if it is a background layer) [In order to add a mask]
2) Select all, Copy (CTRL+a, CTRL+C)
3) add a layer mask (click the rectangle with a circle in the bottom of the layers panel) [to be able to change transparency]
4) target the mask [so that you can past an image in it] ALT+click the mask, paste the image.
5) Invert the colors of the mask (CTRL+I) [in order for the white to be transparent and the black opaque].
You now have a layer whose transparency is based on the lightness of the pixels.
Hope that's what you are after!

Help with RAW files and custom white balance.

ive long had this issue with RAW shooting and adobe photoshop and lightroom, my main subject is a saltwater reef aquarium that is lit by artificial lighting, i shoot canon and use the custom white balance setting to get everything looking proper and it works good.. to an extent.. if i shoot jpg the photos all turn out as shot, if i shoot RAW the white balance in adobe programs is totally messed up and you cant fix it.. if i use DPP by canon, its perfect and looks just as shot or just a a jpg would look.. my question is how can i get adobe lilightroom to render my RAW files correctly.
below are all 3 images, first one was converted and exported to jpg in canon DPP without any adjustments and is what the photo should look like, second has been exported from photoshop, and 3rd i added a link to the actual RAW file. why cant my lightroom interpret these properly?
heres a link to the actual RAW file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5a39ctllwgrem7a/_MG_8971.CR2
this was a raw converted in canon dpp, and its what the aquarium looks like, and is what the photo should look like. just to note, any other editing or viewing program besides adobe products all render the image correctly.
this is what photoshop and lightroom do to my Raw files, theres no way to adjust anything to get even remotely close to correct..

The white-balance Temperature of this image as computed by the camera is way beyond the 50,000K upper limit as you can see when you open the file in LR or ACR, so Adobe cannot reach the As Shot WB temperature number and stops at 50,000K which is still too blue -- although EXIFtool says: Color Temp As Shot : 10900, so maybe Adobe's wildly high 50,000K number is based on a faulty camera profile that exaggerates blues:
However, using the Camera Standard makes things not nearly so garish blue, and it is possible to use Photoshop to neutralize things even more:
However, as you say, other raw converters do ok with this image despite the high WB temperature, so I think the Canon T3/1100D profile needs some work, but probably won't get it since it is not a high-end camera.
For example, here is the default conversion from LibRaw that is part of RawDigger, and in my opinion is an improvement on the camera rendering though perhaps lacks a bit of saturation:
As another example, here is RawTherapee's conversion, after I neutralized the auto-tone and color values it applies by default, and appears to be a bit too saturated but that could be easily adjusted:
I would agree that Adobe is doing something wrong with this camera in this lighting. A clue is the bright green color of the top-central coral which seems to be yellow in the non-Adobe renderings.

My RAW files look fine on my camera but turn darker with a purple tint on Photoshop and Bridge

I took some pictures at a gig last night, the lighting was quite good for a change and I was really pleased with how they turned out. The lighting at the gig gave all the photographs a red tint which I don't like but they were all bright enough. As soon as I opened them up in Adobe Bridge they all looked fine one minute but then gradually started to change to a much darker purple colour! I opened them up in Photoshop and they were the same. I then put the card back in my camera and they were fine again, brighter and more detailed with a red tint. When I opened them up in Bridge again they were dark! Any suggestions on why this is happening?

Here is what we're talking about:
In another raw converter, RawTherapee, the image is almost entirely magenta:
Likewise in a raw-analysis program called RawDigger:
Finally, in Canon's DPP software we can see the image is using the Portrait Picture Style:
But if we change the Picture Style to Standard, then the lighting appears to be more magenta, again:
Which is especially apparent if we brighten things a little:
So my analysis would be that the Adobe Standard was a reasonable rendering of the raw data and camera white-balance, it's just that the camera was set to some non-standard settings, so corresponding adjustments needed to be made in Adobe software to match.

Turning pen drawing into single 100k layer

I have a number of scans of ink drawings on white paper which I would like to edit so they are 100%K black line drawings on white background. Using the color replace tool I have been able to select all ink lines and use the fill with black in the delete function to create 100%K lines. However, when I copy and paste this into a new layer, so that I can delete the layer with the paper background, the black lines turn to shades of grey. How can I create a file which is no or pure white background, with 100%K for all of the line work?

Do you mean clipping group or layerSet? If you mean layerSet then if I understand what you want replace
var newLayer = baseDoc.artLayers.add();// adds a layer
with
var newLayer = baseDoc.layerSets.add();// add a layer set(group)

Canon Powershot S120 Adobe Lightroom RAW converter problem

Have a MacBook running Yosemite. I am an underwater photographer so rely on using White Balance to get colour into my photos. Since upgrading Lightroom from 5.3 or 5.6 to 5.7 all my Canon S120 RAW files change colour after import and become a wishy washy green. As one moves along the filmstrip, the Histogram shows calculating and all the photos lose their colour, as if the White Balance is being removed. My previous catalogue, same camera, Lightroom 5.3 or 5.6 photos import as they look on the camera. Have discussed with Canon and they think an Adobe Codec RAW converter problem. Do you have additional Codecs for Canon S120? Canon happy to discuss problem. Their reference: 1-3374995525. Please help.

If you look at the Tint slider with As Shot WB set, you’ll see it is maxed out at 150 for all three of your sample images.
I think this means that LR’s DNG Profiles don’t have the range to entirely neutralize the WB so your images are left with the wrong WB and no way to fix it.
Adobe profiles don’t do a good job in extreme lighting situations, especially with an overabundance of blue light which underwater pictures typically have.
You can mess with the Calibration sliders a bit and get some of the colors to be more like the camera-JPGs have, but some colors will still be different.
If you have an X-Rite color-checker, that you could photograph without getting it wet, then you could make a custom camera calibration profile for that specific lighting scenario and maybe it’d work, but maybe the profiles still can’t extend beyond a certain point. I am also not sure how you’d keep the color-checker dry underwater.

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

Camera Raw Policy of Writing Back into Input Files

This came up in another thread, and I think it deserves its own discussion. I'd hope that we can influence the Camera Raw team's future direction. I welcome your input and opinions.
Given: Under some conditions Camera Raw writes data back into (overwrites) its input files.
Assuming you use Camera Raw to open your out-of-camera original files as many of us do, Adobe seems to be all over the road on whether to keep its hands off them or overwrite them...
Camera Raw will not touch a proprietary raw file, such as a Canon .CR2 or Nikon .NEF. There's a whole process for remembering settings in a separate database or sidecar XMP files. So far so good.
If you open a JPEG, TIFF, or DNG through Camera Raw, data WILL automatically be written back into it to tell another run of Camera Raw in the future what settings you used - without the software ever having warned you it will do so.
Some functions EXPLICITLY rewrite input files. You can ask the software to write new thumbnails back into DNG files, for example. This is fine - the user has instructed the software to overwrite the file, and the user is in charge, after all.
Overwriting/rewriting an input file without being instructed to do so is NON-INTUITIVE BEHAVIOR for an application. No one would expect an input file to be overwritten.
We do see that it causes people confusion. I'm sure there are people right now reading this in disbelief. I recommend you go test it for yourself (on a copy of one of your original files).
The original file being overwritten is one of the reasons why I don't configure Photoshop to open my out-of-camera JPEGs through Camera Raw.
Adobe's [mis]handling of input files on the surface seems to be derived from the history of DNG - where no camera actually writes the DNG file directly but it has been generated as an intermediate format through the DNG Converter, and as such can be handled with less "care" than an original camera file.
It seems to me that Camera Raw should NEVER write back into an INPUT file it is opening without a) letting the user know or b) being directed to do so.
Adobe:
Please give those of us who don't want our input files overwritten an option for using the database/XMP sidecar instead in EVERY case.
Thanks.

It depends.
As far as I can tell:
When a JPG or TIF file is Locked,
Camera Raw > Done results in a Write Permission Error.
When a DNG file is Locked,
Camera Raw > Done - writes a separate xmp sidecar file.
The JPG / TIF handling seems to me inconsistent. With a locked file I'd prefer to have a sidecar xmp created as well. Some of my JPG / TIF files are originals for me.
