ACR-PS-?-I'm new

Been recovering from back surgery so I now have all the time to…Switch to Adobe. And learn it's apps.
Advanced photographer. I've been using Apple Aperture since it came out but I just can't take the slowness of this application. Amazing.
So I moved thousands of NEF's to Lightroom 2. I own all of the NIK Software and plugins. Ns Adobe software. CS4 etc… Something to do.LOL
I'm not a fan of Bridge. With all my time being inside, even I can't get Bridge. So I use Lightroom. Love Lightroom.
Sorry for the ran-too much time . My question is about Camera RAW. I'm using Mac's. I can't seem to find the App. I can call it uop in Bridge. Even if I drag an NEF to CS4. It opens. But I wanted to be able to access it at will. Can't fine it. Been to every Adobe folder.
Where is it?
Also - using LR or CS4, is Camera Raw the default adjustment? If I open an NEF in CS4, I can't figure how to call up ACR to use.
Thanks

Well I've done this already. As far as I can see there is not way to open ACR as a stand alone application. Hence my question here.
Camera Raw is a raw file import plug-in for Photoshop and Bridge...there is no "stand-alone" application for Camera Raw. It can be accessed only from Bridge or Photoshop. If you want a stand-alone app that has the raw processing capability of Camera Raw, then you'll want Lightroom. Note however while Lightroom uses the same processing pipeline as Camera Raw, Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw "plug-in". The processing code is built in to Lightroom.

  • How do I get Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) support for my new Canon EOS 7D mkii.

    I purchased the new Canon EOS 7D mkii in early November. I tried opening the raw files in both the latest Creative Cloud versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. I found that Adobe Camera Raw, both the current versions and ACR 8.7 beta/release candidate, did not support this camera. I know one exists because dpreview reviewed the pre-relase version of this camera in mid-October showing images processed with an unreleased version of ACR?
    How do I get this early unreleased version of ACR for this camera?

    Canon Eos 7D Mark ii was launched after we released ACR 8.7 RC. So, that’s the reason it is not included in the RC version. However, it is on our radar and hoping to add it in an upcoming update itself.
    As soon as it is available, it will be updated in the below article.

  • 4.4.1 ACR xmp problem - see new info

    As suggested I have upgraded to 4.4.1 and have the same problem. However there is further info below that should allow anyone to reproduce the problem. I.ve just done it on 3 machines.
    Original Posted Problem
    Would appreciate help on this if anyone has seen the problem.
    I use ACR 4.3 on windows XP Pro with CS3, 4 gig ram.
    My normal practice is to copy my CF cards to folders on the desktop, then
    drag each folder to Bridge to rough select the keepers.
    I then open the remaining images in ACR and make further deletions if
    necessary.
    When I delete images from the ACR screen, the X appears as normal but the
    sidecar.xmp file is not been deleted, only the NEF deletes.
    New Info.
    After deleting the X images the corresponding .xmp files have gone - problem fixed I thought!!
    If you now drag the same folder to bridge for the second time, then open all images in ACR, make any alteration to all of them, then delete for example 3 images, the X appears and the NEF file is deleted, but the dreaded sidecar.xmp files are still in the folder for those files deleted on the second pass.
    I,ve tried this a few times and it always gives the same result.
    Hope this makes sense and someone else ca reproduce the same problem
    Regards and thanks
    Michael

    Sounds like one of those pesky little bugs that might get fixed, unless it doesn't. My only suggestion would be to try converting to DNG. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the XMP files at all.

  • New camera profile not "appearing" in ACR, but does in Lightroom

    I recently created a camera profile for a Nikon D200, using an X-Rite Colorchecker chart photo and the Chart feature in the DNG Editor.  I exported the camera profile.  When I go to the Calibration tab in ACR 5.5, the new profile does not appear in the drop down list with the other camera profiles.  However, when I go to the Develop module in Lightroom 2.5, the new profile does appear in the drop down list there.
    I am running Windows 7.  Snooping around my root drive I find that if I look within the Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles directory (referenced in the Fraser and Schewe CS4 Camera Raw book as the Vista location for the profiles) I can find no camera profiles and when I place the new profile there it still does not appear in ACR.  When I look in ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D200    directory I can see the regular set of camera profiles for the camera, as well as the one I created, but as I previously stated, the newly created profile does not appear in the ACR list.
    A side note - I did some experimentation with camera profile names.  I added "XX" to the end of the Nikon Vivid profile name (not the extension), and then that profile no longer appears in the ACR list of profiles.  I removed the extra letters and then the profile reappears in the ACR list of profiles.  Seemed odd behavior to me.  I also noticed that the profile I created with DNG Editor is noticeably smaller than the others provided by Adobe (28K compared to 110k).
    Hope someone has a suggestion for me.

    Your reminder about both Photoshop (main) and Bridge needing to be shut down for changes to take effect reminded me that I had Bridge set to "auto-start at log-in".  So I checked and it was still running (shown with the other hidden icons).  When I "shut it down" from the UI I had thought it was fully terminated.  So I completely shut Bridge down, restarted, and the new profile now appears.
    Thanks for the reminder/pointer in the right direction.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • ACR won't save files other than in original file folder.

    This has just started.  All was fine until now.  I recently was working on several files in camera raw.  Went to save files but discovered that I am unable to save the image, no matter what file format I choose -- TIFF, PSD or JPG -- unless I put it in the original folder it came from.  For example, I would choose Save Image from ACR, then Save in New Location, then Select Folder, choose another file folder (say Desktop) and then it would try to save it but would tell me the file could not be created.  If I choose Save in Same Location, everything works fine.  I AM able to open the RAW file in Photoshop and Save it from there.  As I said this is happening all of a sudden.  I am working with Vista 64 bit and with Photoshop 64 bit.  I tried using the 32 bit program but the same thing happens.  Any suggestions or should I just completely uninstall and reinstall?  I have checked and have all the latest updates for both Photoshop and ACR.  Thanks.

    Hi Gingerdee1,
    Yes strange ....
    -Do you have the right privelige to save at an other location..... >>privelige-user .... or..... >>folder-protection (read-only)... >> or network privelige changed
    -Is that disc full maybe at that location....
    -Do you try to save a file with illegal characters in the file name...
    -Working with other RAW-files.............
    -Did you change any other situation....than before...

  • ACR v 6.7.0.339 rebuilds previews for one folder repeatedly

    I started having this situation after the 6.7 update to ACR, in the folder I was working on at the time of the update. The symptom is that after all the previews are built, any action (ex. display a preview) causes Thumbnails, Previews, and 100% previews to start rebuilding, entire or in part at different times. I have tried a number of things to try to fix this, including Prefs. reset in Bridge and PS CS5, flushing Bridge and ACR caches, creating a new (DATE) folder for the images, and manually deleting the .BridgeCache and .BridgeCacheT files from the folder. I have done an in-place reinstall of Photoshop, and an uninstall-reinstall. There was one file in the group that was rejecting key words, but I resolved that by deleting its XMP file and regenerating it. Turning off Open GL acceleration makes no difference.
    Thanks!

    Follow up:
    I neglected to mention that Bridge has crashed several times, sometimes seeming to take Firefox down with it. I did some searching in the system logs, and found AppCrash reports, mostly of two types. Since the first report above, I have updated the graphics driver to the most recent release.
    Examples are below:

    I have sorted out examples of XMP files which work and don't work correctly. I am not sure if the way it pasted in is correct. HTML seems to be taking formatting instructions from it. If this doesn't pass muster I will upload a ZIP file somewhere. I tried to compare these, but I'm not really used to reading that kind of text and did not sort anything out that was not an obvious setting. I greatly appreciate any guidance anyone can give. Thanks!

  • Reverting to original RAW image in ACR

    In the past I have almost always used Nikon's Capture NX2 as my RAW editor. In that, it's immediately obvious how to get back to the original NEF camera image, or even choose to go back to different stages in the editing history.
    There seems no obvious way to do this in ACR. For example I made a mistake in a RAW edit, but when I reopened the RAW image again from Bridge I got the edited version with the unwanted error.
    I would appreciate some guidance on this. In an ideal world, I would like ACR to do what Nikon Capture can do.
    I have also just found that, when trying to assign a keyword to this file in Bridge, I got got an "...error writing metadata" message. All the other NEF files in that folder (none of which have yet been edited in ACR) accepted the keywords with no problems.
    Since writing the above, I have found that this "error writing metadata" is a common issue for which there seems no solution - it extends back to earlier versions of Bridge (I have CS6 64-bit with vety latest updates).
    I have deleted the sidecar file for the file in question, but the error remains.
    I cannot help being a little concerned about what ACR actually does to the file. Maybe I'll go back to Capture NX2 (not without its own problems) unless there are some solutions to these issues.

    There are several ways to go back/edit history.
    In Bridge, select the photo you edited in ACR. You can see the Edited symbol above the photo upper right.
    Go to Edit menu, Develop Settings, Clear Settings.
    In ACR you can also make Snapshots of different times in your editing session.
    Go the Snapshot tab (the rightmost tab) in ACR. Click the New Snapshot icon in the bottom right and name the snapshop. You then can go back to a previous edit by simply clicking its tab. The caveat is that you need to manually add these Snapshots as you go along.
    You can also go back to an earlier edit and Open the Image in Photoshop while still retaining the later edit shapshots in ACR
    Lighroom has a real time history that you can go back to a previous edit. This history is automatic. I'm not sure if the history is retained after the file is closed and then reopened. I tend to think not, but you can also create Snapshots in Lightroom.

  • ACR Plugins not working and Bridge won't view cr2 files

    Hey there.. I've been using Photoshop/Bridge/ ACR for 7 years now but from memory I have had this issue before when installing.
    My laptop just got a new hard drive and fan and I've had to reinstall everything.
    I downloaded 3 different ACR plugins and none of them have enabled Camera Raw reading for bridge.
    I'm using CS6 with Canon 5dmk2 cr2 files.
    I have tried 7.1
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 7.1 Update
    I have tried 6.7
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
    I've tried this link
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
    and I've tried a Microsoft codec pack somebody else suggested
    Download Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (6.3.9721.0) from Official Microsoft Download Center
    Please help....

    The 5D2 only needs ACR 5.2 or newer so your current version of ACR 7.1 should open the files.
    If ACR isn’t enabled in Bridge then the usual thing is to launch Photoshop and open a raw file at least once without using Bridge, with File / Open or PS / Open.
    Doing Help / Updates from PS should install the latest ACR version for you in case that helps.
    You can also try installing ACR manually.
    If you have a newer OS like Windows 7+ or OSX 10.8+ then try ACR 8.8 is what you want to install:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    If you have an older OS like Windows Vista or OSX 10.6.8 then ACR 8.3 is what you want an installer further down on this page:

  • ACR missing from Bridge CS3 on Mac

    I am working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3.
    When I originially installed CS3 running OSX 10.4 the "Camera Raw Preferences" under the file menu was missing. I also could not "Develop Settings" or any other ACR functions from Bridge. I was able to open files in Photoshop and use ACR that way, but that seriously hindered my workflow.
    In order to solve the issue I: 1) Updated CS3 (did not fix) 2) Rebuilt Permissions (did not fix) 3) Un-installed CS3, Re-installed CS3 (DID FIX! Camera Raw back in Bridge!)
    I Recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and now I am right back where I started: no ACR in Bridge.
    So, again I tried to fix by: 1) Un-installing & Re-installing CS3 (did not fix) 2) Re-installing Mac OSX 10.5 & CS3 (did not fix, but was a major hassle)
    I am hoping their is a known fix to this, or if there is a scheduled update to either CS3 or Mac OSX 10.5 addressing such issues with Bridge. I would rather not revert to 10.4 having bought 10.5.

    Assuming you have installed the RAW plug in at the correct location??
    from the FAQ;
    Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
    A: For Photoshop CS2 and CS3 customers the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the �Updates�� option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
    Q: I am trying to replace ACR 3.0 by 3.1 (or higher) I cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder, where is it located now?
    A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the new correct location is:
    Photoshop CS2
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/�
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\�
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/�
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\�

  • More ACR for elements questions

    After having played around with ACR 4.1 I have a few questions and observations:
    Not all the the features described as being in 4.1 in this article
    http://photoshopnews.com/2007/05/31/about-camera-raw-41/
    seem to be accessible, e.g. holding down the alt key while looking at radius and sharpening values to see the masks applied. Are these features available from CS but not in elements (It's the same plugin) or were they never implemented in 4.1 but only in some beta copy of the SW?
    As noted in different msgs, there is scarcely any documentation for ACR 4.1 except what I can glean from articles like the one above and from trial and error - am I correct in this assessment?
    If I bring the raw file into elements, some of the functions can work on 16 bit files but for most I must permanently convert down to 8 bits. How much print quality am I losing for 11x14 blowups during this process? I guess I'm losing none in resolution (PPI) but a little in gradations of color and luminosity.
    How does this raw pre-processing in ACR compare with the new Nikon Capture 4 ( I have a D40x) ? Is it worth having both sets of SW? I couldn't find a price for Capture4 in the website - only a 30 day download trial. Anybody have any idea how much it costs?
    Now if I would only go out and shoot some more photos instead of nerding out on the tech stuff!! Thanks.
    Chris

    Thanks Barbara - you wrote:
    Your printer will almost certainly downsample your image to 8 bits when you print, so you're not losing there. The loss, such as it is, is in the available gradations of color for editing.
    Is this the case If I get it printed at a photo printing/editing store (we have Mtophoto here in CO which I really like because a couple of the guys there really know their stuff)?

  • Raw up date for new nikon d7100 in cs5.1

    raw up date for nikon d7100 for cs5.1 can any one please help me on this matter

    The D7100 is supported only in PS-CS6/ACR 7.4 and newer.  There will be no update for CS5.1.
    You can upgrade your CS to CS6 or CC or download the free DNG Converter to make DNGs from your NEFs and open those in older versions of Camera Raw.  You’ll want to make sure to set the DNGC compatibility options to something lower than the default of ACR 7.1.  The DNG Converter is available, here:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • ACR has stopped allowing to upsize to 4113x6144 automatically

    I have used ACR to upsample to 4113x6144 by years, because my camera is a little older and doesn't shoot at the capabilities I need.
    This past week it has stopped working and limits the upsampling to basically nothing, it keeps it at 10.0 MP and is shrinking my images now. I have to print 12x18 for a class I am in and I just noticed this problem. Does anyone know how to get my ACR back?

    The newer ACR version has a different way to specify the output size, either during Save Image or Workflow Options but your enlargement size should still be available within the constraints of the aspect ratio of your images.  If you're only getting smaller than native options then check to make sure the Don't Enlarge checkbox is checked.  If this doesn't look like your Workflow Options panel then please post a screenshot of yours:

  • Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

    Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
    Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
    I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
    This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
    Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
    Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

    This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
    I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
    ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
    The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
    Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

  • Where is ACR  5.1 installed and why isnt it coming up with Pshop CS4

    i have CS4 installed
    with D300 NEFS i believe acr 4.2 still shows up
    it is not the new ACR
    i installed the new ACR 5.1 but i dont think it is launching
    any ideas
    where is it in the library under app support adobe
    thanks

    Glenn,
    You did not install it correctly. :/
    Make sure you have the correct location, starting the path in your ROOT level Library, not your user Library; and remove any other ACR plug-in you may have in the CS4 installation.
    At the present time, you can even use the automatic updater to update the ACR version version (5.0) installed by default to ACR 5.1.

  • ACR v7.1.0.354

    Really strange problem with the new ACR.  I installed ACR along with the new PS CS6.  The new camera raw was working fine and now, all of a sudden, when I attempt to open a RAW file from Bridge, even though the Info Window indicates it is the newer ACR (v7.1.0.354), I get the older version of ACR that came with PS CS5.  I have included a screen shot that shows this oddball problem.  I am not certain, but it may have started happening when, after installing the PS CS6, I ran an Update and there was a slightly newer version of CS6, and, possibly ACR.  If you look at the attached screen shot you will see the Menu/Adjustment choices (screen right) for ACR are from the older version.  Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Those things are not documented yet, but it looks like whites and blacks slider work similar way as changing the top/bottom of the curve (just in the different part of the workflow I suppose)
    On the other side, Highlights and Shadows slider work similar like Highlights & Shadows in PS (just again, in the different part of the workflow) - those are actually local adjustments, to make more contrast in highlights or shadows, based on unsharp mask with very large radius. Shadows is replacement for Fill-in slider from previous processing models. Clarity slider also works on the similar principle (and finally it is tuned up to my taste in PV2012, while in PV2010 it wasn't of much use for me, so I was using USM in PS instead for the same effect)
