ACR and "undo"

Hi, (using ACR 6.4.1 with PS
E 9) - when I make a change how do I undo that change? I basically mean with noise reduction or sharpening or cropping and not with the use of the sliders.
Thank you.

You can slide the noise or sharpening sliders back to their original level. You can bo back into cropping and uncrop.
If you want to undo all your changes ... exposure, temperature, etc., you can select "Default Settings" from the dropdown menu next to "Basic", or delete the .xmp file associated with your photo.

I erroneously deleted some background icons, that now have left me with only thumbnail images, what appears when I want to enlarge is a grey circle containing a black exclamation symbol, how can I get back full function and undo my mistake

I have erroneoulsy deleted icons repetious images from the computer which then affected my iphoto images, leaving me in some cases only with the thembnail image. When I try to enlarge or perform any other function all that appears is a black field containing a grey circle with a black exclamation symbol( !)
within it. How to I get back full function of these affected images and undo my goof up. I have tried restore, but my attempts have not proved successful.
Help !!!

What exactly did you do to delete these?
How did you try to "restore" and what did you try to restore?
Probably the only solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before you did this

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

ACR and Smart Objects

ACR and Smart Objects...
Ok, I'm trying to take the plunge into Smart Objects. I want to control localized luminance as well as localized contrast adjustments (using masks in PS CS3) in a non destructive and flexible way. Instead of the usual: bringing into PS multiple exposures of a single Raw image, or bringing into PS multiple bracketed images (landscape) I am exploring the idea of bringing these images into PS as Smart Objects.
I have figured out how to work with multiple copies of a single Raw image as Smart Objects, but can not figure out how to get different bracketed Raw files layered into PS as Smart Objects...
Would someone offer some assistance, if it is possible?
Thank you!

>Would someone offer some assistance, if it is possible?
If you have multiple images (as opposed to multi versions of the same image) you'll need to open each of the images as separate SO's and separate documents, then drag them into one document.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

How do I copy and paste to my mac and undo the change attributes like I do withmy iPad. I cannot shake my mac?

How do I copy and paste to my mac and undo the change attributes. On my ipad I can shake it and undo the change attributes but not sure how to do this on the imac? Example Excel to email and undo changes?

Thanks for the information....It did not work,....
I am copying information from Excel and posting it into Lotus
It works fine in word and other application, just not in Lotus notes...
Any other ideas?

ACR And Vista 64 Don't Seem To Get Along

Using the latest Photoshop CS4, w/all updates, Vista 64 / 32gb RAM. I start w/an empty cache, and a clean, separate internal scratch disk of sufficient capacity.
Using ACR, open a folder on my desktop, wait until all the thumbnails are rendered, (the little arrow in the LLH corner stops spinning), select the raw files to open.
ACR stops responding. I have to wait a minute or so, or close ACR and re-open.
I can try to open 2 files, or 10 files, with the same results.
I can't find any settings that affect this behavior. Any ideas ? TIA, Ira

Sadly I have these issues also. The re-indexing of the phone takes so long that it almost never completes during my short drive between home, work & most places I go. Consequently Sync is almost always re-indexing my iPhone. Also about every 10th time I plug the phone in via USB Sync detects a "new" device which is very annoying. I've tried every solution to the bluetooth audio skipping that I've found and nothing makes any difference. I've gone so far as to un-pair the iPhone & Sync (on both ends), pull Sync's fuse to forcibly reboot it, reboot the iPhone, repair and setup bluetooth streaming. Even this rather draconian series of steps didn't stop the skipping. Oddly enough using the phone with Sync via bluetooth works beautifully.
The issues with USB I'm pretty sure are on the Sync end. The bluetooth issues I'm pretty sure are on Apple's end. The most frustrating thing is that Apple doesn't even seem to acknowledge that the skipping problem exists.

Forms editing and undos

Acrobat 8 Pro, OS X 10.5.7
Acrobat does not appear to able to undo an action when editing forms. A co-worker is working on a multipage form that was created in ID and exported to PDF. In Acrobat, she is creating form fields. Inadvertently, she has selected all of the fields and deleted them with no option to undo that last action.
I've checked Acrobats preferences and there does not appear to be an option to edit the number of undo's.
Can Acrobat undo actions when editing form fields?
Thanks.

If she closed the file she had to save the changes to retain them. That's what I was trying to get at once you save a File, you have the changes and they can never be undone.
Oh Phillip. Do you really think no one reads your posts? You mention no such thing in post #3 or any of your following posts.
Do you need new oars so you can backpaddle?
Here are your posts:

Authorization object for "set TECO" and "undo TECO"

We want to control the authorization for "set TECO" and "undo TECO",but we can't find relevant Authorization object. Is there any Authorization object for these two functions? If there's no Authorization object for them ,then how can we achieve the same result? Thank you very much!

Hi,
Under one user ID the auth object B_USERSTAT will have the authorization key in which user will be responsible to change the TECO user status.
One user will not have any authorization key under B_USERSTAT Auth_Object.
Hope it's will give you help.

Using Lightroom and then ACR and Photoshop on a another Computer

Hi all,
I am wondering how I go when it comes to using photoshop lightroom on my home computer, with photoshop only for additional work yet at the same time being able to edit photos at school (they do not have lightroom) on ACR and Photoshop. Is their away where the changes I make at school will sync? Surely I must be able to do it and won't have to give up lightroom.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated or links to tutorials etc.
Thanks in advance

Convert propitiatory RAW files to DNG and select save metadata to file, or save the metatdata to file as xmp data. This data will then be recognised by Bridge/ PS on other machines and any processing and labelling will be recognised by Bridge/PS. However these applications are not non destructive, so any changes made to the image subsequently on your schools computer using PS rather than LR will require the production of a new file. A better way, IMO, would be to export images following processing them in LR as 16 bit TIFF files for use at school (and to encourage them to get Lightroom).
As you can use LR on two computers under your license there is nothing preventing you installing a copy on a school machine (as long as the school will let you) and using your license. This can only be for use by yourself, but you could show your teachers how useful it is and you would be able to take your catalog on an external disk with you and use it there.

Color shift between image viewed in ACR and open in PS

Today I updated Photoshop CC and now I have a slight color shift problem between the same image open in ACR and then opened in Photoshop. It appears to be slightly more saturated in ACR.
I have tried the same thing on another computer and it does NOT have the same problem so it must have been something that happened in the update (ACR was one of the items updated). I have also compared the preferences between the two computers and they are identical.
I guess the next thing to do is to deinstall PS and reinstall????
Any advice would be appreciated.

Any difference between ACR and Photoshop is most likely due to a monitor profile problem. They both use the same monitor profile, but there are differences in the actual conversion so a problem can show up differently between them.
Is your monitor calibrated/profiled, and if so how, using what calibrator? Or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or perhaps you got a bad manufacturer profile through Windows Update? (yes, that happens frequently).
To find out if the monitor profile is indeed the problem, go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default profile (if it isn't already), then relaunch Photoshop/Bridge and see if the difference is still there. If your monitor is wide gamut, use Adobe RGB instead.
Note that this doesn't fix the problem as such, but if you don't have a calibrator sRGB will usually be close enough until you decide to get one.
If you do have and use a calibrator, make sure it is set to make v2 profiles, not v4, and matrix rather than LUT profiles.

ACR and Nikon D800e Raw files

This discussion is actually a follow on to an earlier one where I thought the issue was resolved. I am using CS5 extended 64 bit with WIN 7 64bit and ACR version 6.7. I verified the ACR version checking for updates and was informed I am up to date. According to the ADOBE help site ACR v 6.7 is available to open Nikon D800e raw files. However when I try and open these raw files there is a message that the camera model is not supported. Any help on why the raw files cannot be opened with ACR 6.7 is appreciated.

Thanks Noel - after several hours of experimenting, I found the issue. I use a stand a lone software, Nikon Transfer, to download images to the computer. The software allows me to preview/select, rename, and make simultaneous copies for backup. This software has worked without issue, however when downloading images from the Nikon D800e, it does something to the raw files making them incompatible with ADOBE's ACR and even Nikon's ViewNX 2 software. Now here is the real curosity. When Nikon Transfer is initiated from within Nikon View2 software and not as a stand a lone, it works, and ADOBE ACR 6.7 can read the raw files. Again thanks for the help.

RAW vs JPEG in LR3+PS ACR and PS Filter

I have a custom made lens profile (Canon 17-35 2.8 on EOS 5D) made with RAW files.
It works fine for CR2 (RAW) files in LR3+Photoshop ACR and Photoshop filter,
but
- fails (doesn't appear in list) for JPEG files (same body/obj combo) in LR3+PS ACR
- is OK with PS filter.
Something I can do ?

No. By default, PS prefers non-raw profiles if both matching raw and non-raw exists for the lens (the matching raw profile does not show). There is a flyout menu to revert such preferences. That said, in the case that matching raw profiles existing but not non-raw profiles, PS takes the route of pragmatism to still give user a choice of applying the raw profiles (In general, the geometric and vignette correction would still be good even if it is raw), but the user would need to know this is not the best choice.

ACR and Stitching From RAW Files

I see something peculiar happening on recent stitches.
I have say, three frames to stitch from RAW. One frames a little overexposed, so I open in ACR, drop the exposure to compensate and save. Then I open all three frames in Photoshop>Merge as RAW files. When the adjusted frame shows up, the adjustment is ignored.
I can fix this by opening the other two and do a very slight change to them, save, then all three show up as expected, the bright one matching the other two close enough to get a uniform stitch.
Now I am doing this as a quick test of the stitch, to see if I really am interested, and if so, I go back and open all three in ACR and make the corrections. After doing all three, I can uncouple the bright one and tweak its exposure, then save and stitch, no problem.
Is this normal?

I am selecting the images after making the raw adjustments in Bridge and selecting Photomerge under the Tools.
I haven't experienced this either until now. The difference is that Iwould always select the images and open in ACR first, and run the corrections synchronized. Occasionally, one would be off enough to require special tweaking so after the synch corrections, I would select it, correct it then click Done. Getting a bit lazy, especially with many panos waiting, I do a quick test and in this case, only one of the three needed tweaking. Running Merge as above ignored the tweak.
Try it yourself. Pick some images to merge that have not been through RAW, and tweak one only in ACR. Click Done then Photomerge from Bridge under Tools.
I've done this twice now, after exiting Bridge and Photoshop first.
Make that three times

Macbook pro charger light flickering, tried smc reset and undoing cord in back inside computer, nothing working....

I have tried to do everything I can find in previous forums, ex: smc reset, removing back panel and undoing cord for a min, nothing seems to work, any ideas please.

There are no settings Readers can suggest you change for different results.

Plus they have lots of spare parts they can swap around to figure out what it is doing in a hurry.
