ACR not keeping same edit as in Bridge?
In Bridge, my photos are auto toned, and I happen to like the effect most of the time. But when I go to open it in ACR, it does not keep the effect.
I have tried to change the settings and have looked for a way to fix this, but to avail. I want the same edit I see on my photos in Bridge to transfer over to ACR. Because now I have to manually adjust my picture to look like it did in Bridge. Is there an option to keep the same settings?
I use:
ACR 5.7
Bridge CS4
shoot RAW of course.
(by the way, if they say the Bridge can only preview jpegs with the auto tone corrections and must covert to RAW, etc, then why do I see my RAW photos having it? It doesn't make sense.)
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
If I set automatic autotoning in Bridge the slider values are the same in ACR as if I clicked Auto inside ACR w/o automatic autotoning enabled. So the autotoning is not different.
And I am not seeing any differences if I make a screen-capture of Bridge's Preview and ACR Preview and quickly alternate back and forth between the two with Windows Photo Viewer or similar. There are no differences with or without autotoning applied.
However, what seems to be true is if you have touched an image with ACR and clicked Done or Open Image rather than Cancel to exit ACR, then Bridge automatic autotoning is NOT applied afterwards in either Bridge or ACR. In other words the automatic autotoning in Bridge is only applied to "virgin" images, not already-adjusted images.
Does this explain what you're seeing?

Impossible to get ACR showing the same colors as in Bridge
Hello,
Usually my .NEF files (shot with a D90) appears with quite soft colors and contrast in Bridge. However, since yesterday, as soon as I use the magnifier (in the filmstrip mode) or open a .NEF file with ACR, the colors are warming up. I must have done something wrong and changed some settings, but I can't find what it is. Even if I leave the white balance on "as shot", and try all the camera profiles available (ACR 4.6, Adobe Standard, Camera D2X mode1, 2, 3, Camera Neutral,...), I can't get ACR showing the same colors as my preview in Bridge. I also tried the "reset camera raw defaults" function, didn't help either.
I guess that if I have the same problem when I use the magnifier in Bridge without opening the file in ACR, it is because ACR still takes action to load the full image, isn't it?
Thanks for your help,
SamThanks for your answer. I'll reply point by point.
My monitors are calibrated, and I did it recently. But this is not the problem here since I can see the colors changing live on the monitor when I activate the magnifier: I click somewhere on the image with the magnifier, it takes a few seconds to load the 100% section of the image and then the colors are changing on the whole image (not only the enlarged section). Similarly, when I open the image in ACR, I can still simultaneously see the Bridge version of the image on the same monitor and they have different colors. So this shouldn't be a monitor problem.
My color settings in Photoshop (Edit>Color settings) are set on sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and set on "preserve embedded profiles". But I don't get that point, does the color setting in PS affect the colors in Brigde and ACR when PS is not open?
Bridge preferences: What would be useful to know, there are many preferences?! Here are a few that might be of some help: Cache: all unchecked; Advanced: all unchecked; Output: "convert multi-byte..." and "preserve embedded color profile" are checked
ACR preferences: all unchecked except "apply auto grayscale mix when converting to grayscale"
I didn't know how Bridge and ACR were working. But I don't understand what could have changed over the couple of days since before that, the pictures open in ACR (or zoomed in in Bridge) did look exactly the same as the preview. If none of PS, ACR or Bridge are set to apply some color corrections, where do they get this information from?
Sorry, I forgot to give the details about the softwares. I'm using CS4 (PS 11.0.2, Bridge 3.0.0.464, ACR: 5.7.0.213) on a MacOS 10.5.8.
I didn't know how to trash the Bridge preferences, so I did it and... that worked! Colors are not changing anymore. But what could it have been, how is this resetting different from the "reset camera raw defaults" function for example?
Thanks for your input, it did solve my problem. I still don't understand the few things described above though, so if you have a few minutes, it would be great if you could explain them to me. -
PS CS6 Smartobject - ACR not updating RAW edits
Hi,
I am working with PS CS6 and smartobjects. I do a lot of advanced batch editing.
I have an issue I have failed to find an answer to.
When working with a smartobject-image in PS, and going back again into ACR to to some adjustments on RAW file, and then back into PS, the updated adjustments I did on the RAW file shows in PS, but is NOT saved in ACR.
This is an issue for me, since I need to copy RAW settings and apply to many other RAW images. The way I work I may need to go back many times into ACR from PS to adjust the RAW file, I can not know the final edit the first time when opening the RAW file from ACR.
As it is now, the only time ACR remembers the edits I do on the RAW file is the inital first time edit which is applied before the file is opened as a smartobject into PS.
How can I get ACR to remember the edits I do when re-opening the RAW file from a smartobject in PS??
OleSmart object layers that have embedded RAW file object are independent from the original RAW file. The smart object contains a Copy of the original RAW file and ACR Settings. You can create multiple RAW conversions within a single document by targeting the Smart object layer then use menu Layer>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy to create independent Smart Object Layers. Each can be be open in ACR by double clicking on a layers smart object icin in the layers palette the original ACR conversions setting can be changed by the user. When they click OK in ACR the Smart object layers pixels will be updated to reflect the changes and the ACR settings will be updated in the embedded object. This is the way it designed to work.
To work the way you want if one update a ACR conversion in any document that had been created using a particular RAW file ever document with this RAW file would need be linked to gather some way along with all the others documents with this RAW file embedded so all embedded RAW smart Object layer as well as the original RAW file metadata or side car file updated. Sort of making Digital back to film where you could only develop your exposed file once eliminates versions. Not very desirable for Photo work. If your publishing printed material you may be better off looking a Indesign -
IPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported.
Apparently, there is a long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported. I usually don't test my exports to see if the edited version was exported correctly. I just assume Apple products are working as they should. But I tested today and discovered what so many of you have discovered - iPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported. I can't see that Apple has addressed this. What is going on here? Side Note: I am also frustrated that Apple took iDVD out of their line-up of available preloaded software. Getting more disappointed with Apple all the time.
Has someone figured out how to easily get around this obvious flaw?
Could it have something to do with the preference of importing the photos into the iPhoto Library. Should I uncheck this in the preferences menu? I really only want to use iPhoto for quick renaming of files and simple editing purposes and then export them to my own method of organizing and back-up. I use Photoshop for more extensive editing. Would really like to continue using a simple method, but so far, this simple method is more work than is necessary for Apple's software. Come on guys!!!!!1 - there is NO " long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported." If you are doing things correctly it is trivial to export edited versions (or originals if you prefer)
2 - it is strongly recommended that you do not uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - unchecking this preference makes operation much more difficult and makes upgrading hardware or moving to a new system almost impossible
3 - you are doing something wrong - since you do not tell us what you are doing - or even what version of iPhoto you have - it is impossible to u hfigure out what you are doing wrong
exactly how are you exporting photos? Exactly how are you using PhotoShop for editing?
The proper way to eidt using PS is to set PS as the external editor, edit in PS and save (not save as) to return the edited version correctly to iPhoto? The best way to export is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) - the default is you get the current (edited) version

Bridge does not keep my Label Preference
I want to be able to rate my images in Bridge CS3 using only the number keys. So I go to Preferences - Labels - then uncheck "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings". This works fine and I'm able to rate images by tapping keys 1 through 5 (for star ratings) then 6 to 9 for color labels.
The problem is when I close Bridge CS3, it does not keep my labels preference. Every time I open Bridge again, the Control key is required to rate images. If I check the preference, that option is once again checked off.
Is there a way to keep that UNchecked???Adobe has started to release really crappy software. Their bug testing is God aweful, and their willingness to fix their problems is even worse!
Bridge constantly crashes for no reason whatsoever for me. If I leave it open, but haven't used it in a while, when I pull it back up, it often crashes. Explain that! I'm not even doing anything with the program.
I'm having the same problems with labels retaining the preference. Inexcusable, and a complete failure of proper testing.
How long has it been since Vista's been released, and yet there's STILL no native DNG preview? Sure, you can buy one for $30 bucks from a third party. Remind me again why I need to pay a third party to do Adobe's job?
And because they make some of the best stuff, they can get away with this shoddy workmanship. But only for so long. Keep it up guys, and you'll inspire a competitor to do a better job. -
Hello to all - I'm moving a post from the general PS discussion over to ACR about synchronizations not working. Please see this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6259863#6259863
The basics are as follows:
I'm trying to make batch adjustments to images that have already been auto processed i.e. - when I initially open my images, I went through basic corrections such as lens profiles, auto exposure, auto colour etc. Then I would take the auto corrected files and make my fine tune adjustments. I would then attempt to paste those adjustments to a series of similar images. This does not work for a batch conversion and sometimes it would work for only one image.
Upon further experimentation I have had success in batch synchronization - If I go back and re-select all my previously auto-adjusted images and change them back to camera raw defaults, I then select my single corrected reference image, and I can copy thoes adjustments and successfully apply those adjustments to the uncorrected images.
So it appears that the synchronization only wants to work with images that have not ben previously adjusted.
Is this a bug? or are there any suggestions on how to make the synchronization feature work all the time and every time.
CheersNope, sorry, still can't reproduce your problem - see my test below which emulates the conditions you have outlined.
Just to clarify, in the first line of your post #12, you say that you load everything into Bridge - you mean, of course, ACR, don't you?
I started with a folder of 27 .CR2 original, unedited, RAW files. Selected all, opened all in ACR 8.3
Selected 1st file, applied Lens Profile Corrections and Sharpening (100), Luminance (50) and Color (50) Noise Corrections - 4 edits in all.
Pressed Select All, then Synchronize and OK in the Synchronize dialog box. All 4 edits were applied to the remaining 26 files.
Pressed "Done" in ACR and returned to Bridge.
Selected 15 of the 27 (now edited) images in Bridge (1st 3, missed 3, next 3, missed 3 etc until the last 3 were also selected) and opened all 15 in ACR.
Selected 1st image, applied further edits to it: Exposure -2 stops, Contrast +50, Highlights +50, Shadows +50, Clarity -50 : an additional 5 edits.
Pressed Select All, then pressed Synchronize, ensured that only the boxes of Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows and Clarity were ticked, and pressed OK in the Synchronize dialog box.
All 5 of the the additional edits were applied to the remaining 14 selected files.
Pressed Done in ACR and returned to Bridge. All 5 additional edits were plainly visible and obvious in the 15 selected files as displayed in Bridge.
Result: correct, and just as expected.
Did your approach to synchronization differ in any way from the steps I have outlined?

My exported edited image in TIFF-16bit is not the same as my edited RAWfile
Hi! First and foremost my problem is not speed. I have learn to deal with Aperture's slowness while editing or exporting images and not real time brush strokes and occassional crashes. It thought me PATIENCE!
My problem are my exported image from Aperture, The images are not rendered the same exact way as the RAW image I edited (quality-sharpness-saturation-definition-etc.) in Aperture. The rendering is WAY OFF. I even exaggerate in Sharpness and contrast in rendering my RAW images yet my exported (both TIFF -16 bit or JPEG orig. size) are way softer than the one I originally rendered in RAW at Aperture 3.0.2. Even the COLORS are OFF-saturation, luminance, etc. It's not my Monitor or my Eyes, I asked 3 friends to help me validate my concern. After viewing my exported (TIFF or Jpeg) images on an external preview browser, I re-import them to Aperture and put them- (the exported images) in the same Projects where the Original RAW file is located, then I carefully compare them in Full Screen view, I can totally say that they're not the same quality, sharpness, saturation, tonal value!
It's very frustrating to experience this. I work really hard on every single image, I tolerate the sluggishness, the crashes, All I want are my image output render the way I rendered them in RAW file in regards to sharpness, color value and just the overall look that I wanted in my images. BTW I just downloaded the recent March 22, 2011 update. But still it's still having this problem.
Please help me all you good knowledgable, compassionate Aperture experts help an Aperture user in distress.
Thanks for your time. I appreciate any positive feedback and help.
JCRichard,
You are not going crazy, this is a well documented throughout the web
Sorry, but the web is not documentation for Aperture.
I cannot understand why Apple have not resolved this
For one, it takes time to fix a bug, and the have to know about it. Have you told Apple that this is a problem through Aperture feedback? Second, someone at Aperture has to prioritize what their engineers work on. Since this does not seem to be a problem for very many people (including the well-regarded contributors whom you were trying to offend in your other post on this topic), it may turn out that it has a low priority for Apple.
Please Apple sort this out!
Apple does not contribute to this forum and there's no reason to believe they will read this particular message and make a bug report.

I had a computer crash but was able to manually drag over and save all my imovie projects. The corresponding videos did not transfer over during the migration. I have had to manually go in and re-import each of the video clips. Will the manually reimported clips automatically replace the missing files and keep the edits intact?
So for example, a missing file in the project has the first 5 seconds clipped off and some image stabilization. The project says I need to reimport the original source media (File X). I import File X so it is now in the library. Will imovie now recognize File X as the source media and automatically plug it in, complete with the cropped 5 seconds and image stabilization? If it is not automatic, is there a process I need to complete to accomplish this?
Thankyou very much for the help.If you attempt to start a new project and import one of those files does it allow you to simply import them?

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.
Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.
