Adjustment tools in Camera Raw not working

Downloaded CS 5 and opened Camera Raw, then attempted to use the adjustment tool and received the following message "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image." Can anyone provide assistance please and thanks?

I had the same problem and tried turning of GPU in Photoshop and in Lightroom which did not work, however in the RAW window when I found the preferences tab which is the tab with the 3 horizontal lines and unchecked GPU there Camera Raw did start working and the blue screen was replaced by my image. Hope this clarifies it more and you get yours to wok also!

Camera Raw not working/recognising CR2 files - CS5, Mac

I cannot get Camera Raw to work. It worked before but took some fiddling around to get it to work. I am using CS5 on a Mac. My camera is supported by the version of Camera Raw I have and it is the latest update for CS5. Help please.

Hi there
Thank you for your questions.
I am using Mavericks.
Camera is a Canon 6D.
Camera Raw is 6.7.1.340. According to Adobe my camera should be recognised by this.
This is the message I get when I try to open a CR2 file.
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
Yes, all Readable Documents is selected in the first drop-down menu. Bottom drop-down menu is Camera Raw.
In Bridge the CR2 files appear as white rectangles instead of images.
I realise that I can convert my CR2 files to DNG but from what I have read on Adobe information I understand that this is not a requirment as Camera Raw should work without having to convert every image to DNG first - or am I completely misunderstanding this?

Can you help with the moire adjustment tool in Camera Raw?

I have a file with a lot of moire on a child's dress and am having problems using camera raw moire adjustment tool.
I opened a jpeg file (not raw) in camera raw. When I use the moire adjustment brush - set to +100 - and click on the eyeglass tool in the window to see the effect - it shows a white overlay.
Clicking the preview button doesn't show up any difference.
I have saved several files as tests but the moire remains unaltered.
Any help appreciated. Or alternatively, suggestions on how to deal with Moire in Photoshop.
Thank you.

If possible deal with the moire issues up front. If you have original re-scan to see if you can reduce effect. If not do a web search for this. There are several tutorials listed such as http://photographylife.com/how-to-remove-moire-in-photoshop
Hope this helps.

Targeted Adjustment Tool in Camera Raw 5.2

Thanks Tom for the Targeted Adjustment Tool it works great.
Where can I find documentation on the SNAPSHOT function?

The keyboard shortcuts are:
Cmd-Option-Shift T switches to parametric curve TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift H switches to Hue TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift S switches to Saturation TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift L switches to Luminance TAT
Cmd-Option-Shift G switches to Grayscale mixer TAT
If youre on Windows, replace Cmd with Control and Option with Alt.
Click on the TAT tool and unless you are specifically got the HSL/Grayscale panel open, the default TAT will be Parametric Curves. Click in an area in the image with TAT the active tool and whatever the targets tonality will go up/down depending on whether you move the morse up/down.
Switch to HSL panel and the target will be whatever sub-panel is active: Hue, Saturation or Lightness. The TAT works the same what in HSL, click in the image and drag up/down to adjust the targeted color.
Other than that, it's practice...
Oh, and it'll be covered in depth in RWCRCS4 (which is why it's late...so i could be sure of including the Camera Raw 5.2 update throughout the book).

Camera Raw not working with Photoshop and Bridge CS6

Hi guys,
Had a hard-drive meltdown the other week and lost everything. I have re-downloaded and installed most of my important software, including the CS6 suite. I used to use camera raw alot with my .CR2 files and it worked fine for ages, now though, it doesn't work at all.
I have run an update and everything is up to date now, i've purged the cache and it's still not working, no preview on bridge or anything.
I have also tried going through the Camera raw updates on the Adobe website. I have tried deleting the plug in and redownloading it altogether too, no help.
Furthermore, when i try to open a .CR2 file through bridge into photoshop i get a message window:
My Camera Raw Version:
My photoshop version:
No preview of files in Bridge:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Benjamin,

Upgrade of Camera Raw - not working

I am trying to edit photos from a Nikon D800 using Photoshop CS6. Camera Raw plugin is 7.0. Gives message that it cannot open file. Looks like I need 7.1 or better.
When I go to help - update, I always get an "update unavailable" message. Have allowed all Adobe products access through the firewall,
As a work around, I downloaded and executed Camera Raw and DMG 8.4, and it executed succssfully. Add-on in Adobe still states it is 7.0 and it still will not open files.
What do I do next???

It’s possible your OS is too old to support the newer ACR plugins and the update process isn’t smart enough to update you to the most recent oldest version that is compatible.
Use the manual install process on the following page to update to ACR 8.3 into CS6:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html
Keep in mind that this process is for rolling back from ACR 8.4 to ACR 8.3 but the ideas are the same for replacing an older version with ACR 8.3.

CS5: Camera Raw Not Working

Hello -
I am currently using CS5, and when I purchased it, I was under the assumption that it uses the new Camera Raw 6 Plug-In. Does it come with this Plug-In built in? Or do I need to download it? I cannot find a download page for it (unless it's not released yet) and Adobe's wording makes me assume it comes built in: "This powerful plug-in has been frequently updated to support more cameras and include more features and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CS5".
If it did come built into the software, I don't think it is working properly for me and I was wondering if anyone else is having issues. My previous suite version was CS3, and I would select a photo in Bridge, open it up in Camera Raw to make corrections, and then from Camera Raw, I could open it into Photoshop to make further modifications.
With the new CS5, I cannot open any of my RAW images from Bridge into Photoshop. I have even tried using Mini-Bridge. It won't even open the image in Camera Raw first. I assumed the Plug-In must not be there, so I tried looking for Camera Raw 6 and since I couldn't find it, I tried downloading Camera Raw 5.7, and still no luck. It simply won't open my RAW images.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Other info that may help:
I use Mac OS 10.5.8 and I use a Canon EOS 5D. I also work off of a Lacie external hard drive if that makes a difference (which it shouldn't).

Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) 6.0 comes with Photoshop CS5, and gets installed with Photoshop CS5.
There is no separate download page because it comes with CS5.
You may have a bad install - try reinstalling.

Camera Raw not working

Hi
I currently use Photoshop CS2 and the Camera Raw plug in has never worked. I have the most up to date version of camera raw available for CS2, which is 3.7. With the plug-in installed I get the "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" error message. The plug-in is definatly installed because it is showing up in the list of plug-ins installed. I use a Nikon D60 and I don't have the Nikon plug-in installed. So any suggestions? It's really starting to annoy me but theres no way I can afford to replace my photoshop so if anyone knows how to fix it that would be great. Thanks

Camera Raw not working/errors

Hey! I can't install camera raw. I've seen the same problems on the forum already, but unanswered. I get errors: "This is not the right kind of document" "Camera Raw editing is not enabled" I have creative design suite CS4, also bridge cs6. Ive tried uninstalling reinstalling photoshop. When i try both the camera raw 6_4 and 6_5 camera raw update they say "Update failed". When i try to install the Camera Raw 5.2, it gives me an error "Error opening file for writing: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\AdobeStandard\(all camera types).dcp Click Abort to stop the installation, Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file

ACR is Adobe Camera Raw. To open RAW from T3i you'll need ACR 6.4. But unfortunately you cannot install ACR 6.4 for Photoshop CS4. ACR versions of 6.x is CS5 and above only.
I'd suggest three options:
1. Upgrade to Photoshop CS6. You can now upgrade standalone applications from within Creative Suite. You need not have to upgrade the entire Creative Suite.
2. Get Adobe Lightroom - much cheaper updates and works just fine
3. The most feasible option - Use DNG Converter 6.3 to convert your files, then open them up with Photoshop CS4

Camera raw not working in CC

I updated my creative cloud apps last week. Now when I try to open a raw image (CR2's that work a week ago), photoshop opens then crashes before camera raw can open? I have also tried to open images from bridge and it does the same thing?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both photoshop and bridge? I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support in India and the tech couldn't find the problem? I am suppose to hear from someone above him in the next few days. I am so frustrated with Adobes lack of support for their product!

OMFG! I have spent hours trying to figure this out also.
Adobe thought it was a permissions issue.
Thanks for the post.

Syncronize Camera RAW not working when Auto is used

I have a problem with settings not being updated in Camera RAW when using the 'Auto' function.
I have to equalize exposure on a large number of RAW files (often 500+). The Auto function would be great, if it would only apply to the Exposure and not the other settings like contrast.
To reproduce:
Open 20 RAW files
Select all images
Click 'auto' under the 'tint slider'
Observe that settings change on all images
Now change any of the following settings (but NOT the Exposure slider!):
- Contrast
- Highlights
- Shadows
- Whites
- Blacks
Problem: only the settings on the first image are updated, the other images are not edited.
When you change the Exposure slider, the other settings are updated (probably because the 'auto' mode is disabled).
I have uploaded a small screen recording of this problem here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGx6wV5v774&feature=youtu.be
Using 'Synchronize' it is also not possible to copy over the settings to all images.
I contacted Adobe over the phone, but they can only give the usual nonsense (reset your preferences, reinstall Photoshop, etc).
I see other people with the same problem, did anybody find a solution or a workaround?

You now slide it up to open the camera instead of tapping.

Latest Camera RAW not working from Bridge

Just update Camera RAW today. Tried to open a NEF file from Bridge to the new Camera RAW and nothing happens. Just get a warning tone. Attempted to open the Camera RAW preferences in Bridge. Window does not open.
The only way to open Camera RAW is to launch the NEF file into Photoshop.
Rebooted my MacBook Pro. Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. Didn't help.
So is this version of Camera RAW flawed?

Excellent! Thanks ssprengel!
