Adjustment brush changes can't be undone in Camera Raw?

I worked on a RAW file in Camera Raw (Leica M9, DNG), changing various settings and correcting various areas with the Adjustment brush. When I come back to the file, I can re-modify all the settings, except in the Adjustment brush mode, where it only seems possible to create a new adjustment zone. "Add", "Erase" and "Clear All" are all greyed out. Does anyone know how I can undo the changes that I made a couple of weeks ago? It looks like they've been made permanent, but it's not supposed to be like that with RAW files.
Many thanks for your help.

Can you, from within Photoshop, choose File - Open As, then choose the TIFF file, and set the selector over on the right to Camera Raw?
I know that you'd really like to set up to open them automatically through Camera Raw, but this could serve as a workaround.

Adjustment Brush Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

Is there an Adjustment Tool or Graduated Filter Tool in Camera Raw for Photoshop Elements 12?

Those are Lightroom tools for those who don't want to use a regular pixel editor like Photoshop or Elements which have much more powerful tools to do that.
The idea with the reduced set of feature in the ACR version of Elements is that features available in Elements are not necessary in ACR. You need to use the Elements editor more frequently than if you are working with Lightroom.

No change in Bridge thumbnail preview after Camera Raw adjustment

Thumbnail previews in Bridge CS4 do not reflect changes after adjustments are made in Camera Raw.
It used to be fine and now nothing changes after clicking done in Camera Raw.

First go to the menu tools / cache and choose purge cache for folder. If
this does not work restart Bridge holding down option and choose refresh
preferences. After this reset preferences again to your wishes and try
again.

How to remove all changes made to an image in Camera Raw -

In CS4 with latest ver. of Camera Raw, I think there is a way to remove all changes previously made to an image while using Camera Raw.
In other words after doing this the little icon in the upper right hand corner of an image in Bridge that indicates changes have been applied to an image, should be gone. Another way of asking this would be to say, how can I start all over again with the original image in Camera Raw by removing all changes prefiously made to it in Camera Raw?
TIA

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that for sure*. As a certified old geezer who avoids cluttering his mind with stuff that can easily be looked up in a menu, I stay away from keyboard shortcuts as much as I can, using only those applicable system wide, the most obvious ones in Photoshop like deselect, etc.
* However, since no such shortcut appears next to the menu command, I doubt there is one.
You could create an action and assign it a key command, though. Doh!
Never mind. That was a total brain short circuit. You can't create actions in Bridge. You'll need a script. Ask in the Bridge Scripting forum.

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

And even if you could, it wouldn't be worth it. Raw files are 12-bit (or more) with much higher dymanic range than jpegs. The result is that (in the original raw file) you have flexibility to change white balance, change tone curve, recover detail from highlights and shadows in ways you can't with 8-bit (usually lossy-compressed) data in jpegs. But having thrown that extra information away to create a jpeg, you can't get it back. It would technically be possible to convert that jpeg data into raw format, but you would gain nothing by doing so and end up with a file much larger than the jpeg. In fact if this theoretical conversion went the whole way to re-create a Bayer sensor array of data, you'd be throwing away resolution.

Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600. Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore. My process was to open in Bridge. Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw. Now my only option is Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
What is going on? I have never had issues like I have been. HELP Please.

From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?

I have downloaded DNG Profile Editor 1_0_4 and prepared a profile which I can not see in my Camera Raw 6.0 (I have photoshop CS5). Could you please give me an advice?

Can't open Tiff in Camera Raw CC

I have checked the Camera Raw preferences to open jpgs and tiffs in Camera Raw. I have the Bride CC preferences set to Bridge CC for jpgs and tiffs.
I c n open jpgs in Camera Raw, but I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw. I must be doing something wrong.
The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Windows file association are identical.
The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Bridge preferences are identical.
Yet, I can open jpgs in Camera Raw, and I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.
Any suggestions?

How can I update my Acrobat Camera Raw version 7.1 ?

How can I update my Acrobat Camera Raw version 7.1 when the Help Update window keeps telling me I am not an administrator, which I am as per OSX Accounts?

You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

Adjustment brush changes size

Hello, maybe someone has an answer to this:
In Develop, when preparing to use the Adjustment Brush, first I adjust the size of the brush. I slide my cursor along the Size slider and the displayed adjacent "sample brush" varies in size.
Next, I move the cursor into the field of the image. When the cursor crosses over into the image field, the circle indicating brush size changes; it gets larger by roughly 25%. I have been using the adjustment brush now for what seems like 2 or 3 years, but I can't recall it changing size before.
Is this normal? Below please viddy 2 screenshots: a) the cursor(sadly not reproduced in the screenshots) hovers at the slider; b) The cursor is moved to the image field, and the Adjustment brush circle has increased in size.
Mac OS 10.7.4(current), Macbook Pro w/ NEC external mon., 2.8GHz, 8GB ram on 2 cores, Catalog on internal HDD, Library on external HDD, LR 4.1, Nikon raw files.

Hi Victoria. First of all let me thank you for all the help you provide with Lightroom, you are the Queen!!!
What I meant to say was when you are using the sliders in the side panel and not the [ ] keys to adjust the brush size, the brush is shown next to the panel and it is the CORRECT size. As soon as you move into the photo to edit, the brush scales up in the same proportion as you have set in the UNIVERSAL ACCESS cursor size setting. You HAVE to be using the adjust sliders to see the smaller brush. I probably will only use the [ ] keys now that I have solved this problem but before I had to use the sliders to see what the REAL brush size was going to be and then mentally scale what the brush should have looked like in the photo, a pain for sure. If you need more info, let me know.

Adjustment brush changed its behavior

This behavior just started: When I use the adjustment brush, it slightly darkens the area brushed over no matter what options I have set for it to apply. I have no mask active. The actual effects only become visible once I deactivate the brush. Until today, the brush worked perfectly. And the graduated filter works as it should, along with all the other tools. Any suggestions?
Lightroom 2.3, Vista 64 Ultimate SP1, 12 GB RAM, i7 chip.

In Vista 64 the preferences file is located on your application drive at {User} > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Lightroom > Preferences. AppData is a hidden file on Windows, so you'll need to open Folder Options in the Control Panel and turn on "view hidden files and folders." You'll have to reset all those choices you initially made as to how Lightroom appears on screen, such as how side panels appear/disappear, grid view options, etc.

Can't download the latest Camera Raw 5.3 in CS4

I've just upgraded from Elements 5.0 to CS4 (with RAW 5.0) and can only open Nikon D80 RAW files. I can't open Lumix LX3 RAW files. I tried to download the latest Camera RAW 5.3 by clicking in the Help Menu and choosing "Update". I get the message "the Installation process as encountered a problem". I then have a choice of choosing; "run update again", "stop installation", or "cancel". I'm also getting this error message with "Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1" update. I can't work out if there's a problem with the "Extension Manager", the RAW update, or the "Installation Manager" - if that's what it's called.
I looked in C:\program files\common files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats, and can see "Camera RAW.8bi. I'm sure that is the same name as the RAW Plug-In in Elements 5. Am I having this problem because Elements 5 is on the same Drive, or is there a problem with CS4? To add insult to inury, I have encountered a few other problems, listed below:-
I can't delete a layer by dragging it to the Bin. I have to right click on it and choose "delete layer"
When I make a Levels Adjustment Layer, there is no "OK" button to click on, to make the dialogue box disappear. That wouldn't matter too much, but I don't know how to "cancel" an amendment as I used to do, by pressing Alt key and clicking on "Cancel" to restore the changes. How do I do this in CS4?
I'd prefer all the Windows to Float, so I can move them around. I can't see how to make this a preference. I have to click on the "Window" menu and make the changes for every document. Otherwise, the picture fills the whole screen.
I made some brushes in Elements 5 - mainly a signature brush. How would Iike to copy this brush to CS4? I can see a "Brush Presets" folder, but not individual brushes in either package.
Lastly, I'd like to load CS4 on my laptop, if that's allowed. I don't often connect to the Internet with my laptop for security reasons. Do I need to be connected to load it onto the Laptop.
I bought CS4 from Adobe, and was hoping there wouldn't be a problem with the software. Upgrading from Elements 5 has been a cultural shock, so I hope I don't sound too "dim". I've watched lots of DVDs about CS3 and CS4, but still feel quite swamped with the new features.
I'd be grateful for any help with the above questions.

For floating windows, uncheck the relevant boxes in Edit > Preferences > Interface. And play with the Arrange documents drop-down in the top bar. Also see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405298.html
Save the brushes as an .abr file in a known location on your hard drive and load them from there into CS4.
You are allowed an extra installation on a laptop but you'll need an internet connection to activate it (or use the telphone number provided).

Can't go from Bridge/Camera Raw to Photoshop Elements 8

I originally installed trial version of photoshop CS4 and photoshop elements 8. I decided I liked elements better so that is what I purchased. I did fresh install off of purchased disk. I can launch bridge from within PSE8, then camera raw from Bridge, but can't Open into PSE8 from bridge or camera raw. I can open camera raw but when I finish and click "open" the file always tries to open into Photoshop CS4 (for which the trial is now expired).
I have updated to camera raw 5.7 and followed the instructions on the adobe site. I can tell the camera raw plug in is running from the CS4 library   Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats (deleted it there and it no longer worked) and not from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\Elements 8\File Formats.
Any suggestions on how to get my PSE8 to play nice with bridge and camera raw and run the camera raw plug in from my PSE8 file formats instead of CS4\file formats?

Yes I am using an Imac with snow leopard. Thank you for your help! I changed every file association I could in the bridge file associations from PS CS4 to Photoshop Elements.
Changing the file type association took care of the problem in bridge for .dng files as long as I open the dng file from bridge to photoshop elements (brings up camera raw which when click done returns me to elements).
The panasonic file association in bridge is .raw but my raw camera files are .rw2. Can't find that one in the associations of bridge. The fortunate thing is they do open from finder into preview (if that helps at all).
I can now work around this by changing them to .dng files, but that is kind of bulky.
Thanks again for your assistance.

In Bridge, can't open jpeg in camera raw

I have CS3 installed on several computers. On one of them, apparently Bridge and/or Raw never updated to the ability to open a jpeg in Raw. I can do this on the other computers. When I suggest running updates, it says none are needed. I'm confused.
Mike

Jim,
Actually I'd only discovered this feature recently as Bridge was not program of choice - my 7 yr. old system didn't have resources to handle PS and Bridge well simultaneously, having only 512 MB RAM. Was lucky to run Photoshop alone, s_l_o_w_l_y on a P4. This all changed with 4GB RAM and a dual core. What a relief.
Old system dubbed 'Frankenstein' sits networked in pasture in case of need for XP dependent programs or external bkups which no longer run in Vista without wiping data and reformatting. Fortunately won't need them to thanks to networking the two. Only thing not supported by Camera RAW is .bmp which I'll convert. Files from scans years ago of old photos before understanding formats. Live n' learn.
Much of the time I use Lightroom in lieu of Bridge, but there are times it comes in handy for quick access. Now that Lightroom 2 works interactively with Photoshop it's made this less necessary, but still have uses for both.
John~
You are indeed fortunate Vista is your friend. Must have plenty of RAM to run 64 bit. I on the other hand run 32 and intend to downgrade next fresh install so previous peripheral investments work again. Did not play nicely and Microsoft failed to support their own products, deserving a hall of shame award IMO. Still waiting for MS's next OS, as functional and non functional skip generations with that company.
Close friend also loves Vista, but couldn't help noticing he runs an XP machine on the side like myself.... hehe just in case for specific needs. I'm sure he wouldn't mind my saying we are both happy for you though. ;^D Whatever works. Each person has different needs as always.

Radial Filter not changing to outside in Photoshop CC Camera Raw

Hello folks,
I realise that I may be missing the very obvious, so apologies in advance - this has been driving me nuts for a few weeks now and I can't find anything in forums to help me out...
Basically, in Camera Raw filter within Photoshop CC, when I try to add a Radial Filter, I can only get the filter to apply on the inside - clicking the option buttons at the bottom of the menu, the adjustments never move from inside to outside, I can't get any adjustments to apply outside the radial, not even when I select New at the top of the menu either. What am I missing? Hopefully someone will be able to offer a solution!
Thanks in advance,
David

ACR 8.7.1 is current can you post some screen capture where that shows your problem. Ther radio button should cause the current active Radial filter to change. Like this one I show that changes exposure of the area. "Must be Active" with overlay checked the boundary outline should be visible.
