Move what? Do you mean how do you save the edited file as an image to use elsewhere? Click the Open button and save the file in the editor in the image format of your choice.

When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
So, your choice is either :
- to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
- to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

You can't because the file is rendered with the camera raw settings for re-saving e.g as tiff or jpeg.
You can re-open the raw file at any time exactly where you left off before any further pixel editing in Full edit.

Can I create DNG files while at the same time keeping the original camera RAW images?

I wish to create DNG files for my existing Lightroom catalogue, but also wishe to retain the original camera RAW images. If this can be done can you please advise how I go about it as I seem only to be able to find an option for conversion to DNG only.
Thanks

In the Conver-to-DNG dialog, you have the option to have the original Raw file deleted or not:
But, after the conversion, only the DNGs will show up in the catalog, not the original Raw images also.

QQ about Camera Raw Cache and why mine is empty

Quick question about Camera Raw Cache:
Mine is empty. Always.
I've read that the Develop module stores information on photos it opens in the Camera Raw Cache, while the Library module stores its previews in the LRDATA directory adjacent to the Lightroom Catalog. I've also read that the former can be stored anywhere and is limited to a size specified in Preferences, while the latter must accompany the Catalog file and has no cap on its size.
So why is my Camera Raw Cache always empty? I go in and out of the Develop module, edit, switch among photos within Develop, view images at 1:1 and larger within Develop, etc. Shouldn't that cause cache entries to be generated in the Camera Raw Cache? I've tried moving my Camera Raw Cache from within Preferences, and I have the size of the cache set to 30 GB with plenty of room on the drive, but it's still always empty.

Ah, yes. I shoot only JPGs. Funny how none of the documentation or tutorials mention that. The ones I've seen all imply that Lightroom uses Raw format internally when editing photos and that's why it needs a Camera Raw Cache for holding those internal files in the Develop module. I thought whenever I opened a photo in Develop, Lightroom was converting my JPGs interally to a proprietary Camera Raw format for editing them. Guess not, then.
So where does Lightroom hold all of its internal files for JPGs that I'm editing in the Develop module? Does it use the same files it generates in the Library module for 1:1 previews? (That's so different from what the tutorials say -- for example, around 11:00 on Julieanne Kost's tutorial on optimizing Lightroom, she never says she's only talking about working with Raw format.)

Read the raw image file

I want to read the raw image file , i have the basic labview 8.0 version

That is a broad question... I'll make some asumptions.
I think you have a file with some raw image format. This can be quite a few formats. Every camera firm has it's own proprietry format. Often, when talking about a raw image, it is simply a 2d array of colors. So you'll have a file with numbers that are U8's that represent R G B, alpha R G B, B G R, etc., or a U32 that represent the same, combined in one U32...
The data can be stored binary or ASCII. Both formats are handled differently.
The ASCII format can be one large array of data, or seperated with enters for each scan line.
In both cases, you might need to remove information, like height and width, from the data before parsing the image data.
You can use the "Spreadsheet String To Array" to convert the a ASCII string to a LabVIEW 1D or 2D array. Or use "Read From Spreadsheet File.vi" to read the file directly as an array. Use Reshape Array to convert a 1D array to a 2D array.
The binary file is a bit different. Use "Read Binary File". It will get you a string. This string is a converted array of U8, the string doesn't need to be ASCII. convert this string to an array of U8's, with "String To Byte Array". Convert the 1D array just like before.
Now you have a 2D array. You can convert it into a pixmap with "Flatten Pixmap.vi". You can then display it in a picture control with "Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi".

I just found an error in the file name for my Camera Raw Cache file. How do I correct it?

I just found an error in the file name for my camera raw cache file. The error is in my username. I don't know how to correct the error or if I should just leave it. I'm not sure where my cache file is stored on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Since you are on a Mac if when you first set up your account you left out the i in Wilson nothing you do will change that. The REAL account name will always be alicewlson. Once an account is created you can't actually change the name of it. You can change the name that is displayed but not the REAL account name.
Simplest thing to do is stop worrying about it. Everything is as it should be, that is except Wilson being spelled without the i.

I believe I made the error in my user name when I first got my computer a year ago. I then corrected it under my user name but not in my Lightroom files. I also looked for files with a .lrdata extension and didn't find any.

Postworking B/W RAW image file...

Hi, I am not sure that this is the right forum. Forgive me if it is not and please help me, if you can.
Okay, that's the problem>
I have a B/W RAW image file and I would like to leave it B/W with one exception. One object in the image should have it's original color (red), while the rest is still b/w.
How do I do this? Do I need some plug ins or is it just plain easy and I'm just asking a stupid question? I never worked with RAW formats before...
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lu.

From a Nikon point of view, a Nikon Raw file even taken in BW mode on the
camera will have all of the color information still intact.
Conversely, if you have the original color Raw image you can convert it to
B&W.
If you are using Nikon Capture NX, you can use the lasso, or selection tool
to outline the object you want to be red and bring the color info back in.
Or invert the selection and do the color to B&W conversion.
If you're using Camera Raw in Photoshop, there doesn't appear to be a lasso
or selection tool. Save the image as a tif or jpg in color, then perform
the operation in Photoshop.
If you are using Canon or other camera or software, this may or may not
apply. I have no experience there.

How can I take raw image files with my iPhone?

I want raw image files from my iPhone so that I can process them with ACR.

The phone only works in one resolution. You cannot reduce it. The back camera has a higher resolution than the front camera. That is in the specifications. You can check the camera information in the User Guide here. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2

I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2. My raw files will not import into lightroom (it imports jpegs, but not the RAW files) I am using Lightroom 2, version 2.7, camera Raw 5.7. Can you help?

I would highly recommend upgrading to Lightroom 4 as the processing engine is a quantum leap ahead from Lr 2 just as your camera is a leap ahead!!
p.s. you can upgrade directly fro 2 to 4.

Camera Raw .CR2 file download failure from new Canon650D

I have the new model Canon650D and cannot download Camera Raw CR2 files into Photoshop Elements 10. I get a "program error" message on screen. I have tried converting to DNG files but get same error message. I have downloaded latest upgrades for Camera Raw plug-ins in Adobe Application Manager and evidently have the latest 6.7 version available. Is there a later upgrade or do I have to wait until Adobe catch up?

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Try a differnt download (7.3 the latest) if DNG did not work before.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

ACR 5.6 won't install (XP) ?get camera raw.8bi file to install manually

ACR 5.6 won't install on my XP 32-bit using the .exe installer.
Is there an option to get the camera raw.8bi file to install manually somnewhere? Have the Canon 7D and would like to be able to use the Adobe converter.

To accomplish a manual install on Windows you can copy and rename the file:
your-unzip-location-for-ACR56RC1\extensions\AdobeCameraRaw5.0All-121109114152\Assets\1003
to camera raw.8bi and put it in the directory previously mentioned. The clue this is the right file is that it is about the right size as the existing Camera RAW.8bi but slightly larger.
What you can't install by this procedure are all the camera-specific profiles for newly supported cameras in this version. You would probably need to install the LR 2.6 RC or maybe the DNG Converter 5.6 RC to get those. For your 7D these would be the ones beyond the Beta that ACR 5.5 had.

Best in Camera Raw Image settings

Not that the camera model matters, but is there any unique in camera RAW image settings that will improve how the RAW file is interpreted by Aperture?
For example, I shoot with a Nikon D200. I can customize how the camera "Optimizes" the RAW image by adjusting:
1. Image Sharpening
2. Tone Compensation
3. Color Mode
4. Saturation
5. Hue
Does Aperture recognize any of these adjustments or does it just look at the actual RAW data and compensate just for what it thinks the white balance should be?

You don't need to do anything "in camera." Most (if not all) of those settings are ignored by Aperture, because they don't really apply to the RAW files (they are processing settings, and RAW files are effectively "negatives.").
So color space, sharpening, saturation, etc... doesn't matter what they're set to.
Of course, color space affects how the images are named on camera... the Adobe RGB spec mandates an underscore as first character, e.g. MG1005.jpg versis IMG_1005.jpg.
