Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop Actions

Hi guys,
I'm having troubles with Adobe Camera Raw settings and Photoshop actions. Basically, here is what I want to do :
apply settings for the general colours, exposure, tint, etc., but keep an automatic undistortion of the images thanks to the metadata of the CR2 file.
The preset I've done is working fine, and when I'm in ACR, I can apply the same preset to different photos with different lenses. Then when I'm opening them in photoshop, they look allright.
The problem seems to appear when I'm creating the action in photoshop. No matter if the lens profile is set to 'auto' in the preset, it looks like it's applying the one from the original preset. Then let's say the preset was created with a 50mm, then when I launch the action on a 85mm, the undistortion is wrong ...
If anybody has an idea how to fix the problem, that would be really helpful !
Thanks a lot,
Julien

Is there a way to open Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?

Is there a way to start up Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting? I think in the past it started without Photoshop starting; or did it?

If you select the image in Adobe Bridge you can choose File > Open in Camera Raw. Adobe Camera Raw will open the image using Bridge as the host application and you won't have to start Photoshop. There's no way to open Camera Raw without a host application.
If you can't find Adobe Bridge on your computer and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Bridge is one of the programs you can install using the Creative Cloud application.

Camera Raw and Photoshop fluctuations

When I open a JPG from Camera Raw and view it in Photoshop I'm noticing that the Photoshop version, viewed at 100%, is slightly darker, viewed side-by-side, than the preview in Camera Raw, also at 100%. Both in the same color space (sRGB).
Interestingly, when I changed the color settings in Photoshop to Adobe RGB and then reprocessed the photo in Camera Raw as an Adobe RGB file and then opened it in Photoshop, the side-by-side comparison shows the Photoshop version as slightly lighter, not darker, than the version shown in the preview window in Camera Raw. Both also at 100%.
Any thoughts on the subject would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Tom

Both Camera Raw and Photoshop are using your display profile to make the image preview. If the two don't match (everything matches on my displays) I suspect your display profile is less than optimal.

Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge

Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge it then the white square reappears. I do not believe the squares are saved

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Why does my Photoshop Cs6 not let me view my Nikon D7100 photos in Camera Raw and photoshop when it does my Nikon D700?

Why does my Photoshop CS6 not allow me to download my Nikon D7100 photos into camera raw and photoshop when it does my NIkon d700?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
D700 first supported in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 5.1 (CS6 ships with ACR 7.0)
D7100 first supported in ACR 7.4
You probably just need to update Camera Raw in CS6 via Help > Updates.
Confirm which ACR version you have installed via Help (Win) or Photoshop (Mac) > About Plug-In > Camera Raw.

Corrupted RAW in Bridge CC, Camera RAW and Photoshop CC

Hello,
I am using up to date versions of Bridge CC, Camera RAW nad Photoshop CC and I have the following problem.
- after transfer photos from Canon EOS 6D to computer thumbnails in Bridge seems to be fine
- when I open file in Camera RAW file seem as below example
- when I open file in Photoshop CC file seem as below example
- when I open RAW in IrfanView image seems to be fine
- I can open image in IrfanView, save as TIFF and in Bridge and Photoshop seems to be fine
- the problem occurs randomly, about 5% of images from 500 images
Do you have similar problem? Does anybody have any idea?

The previews are ok in Bridge because it's just a preview jpg, not the actual RAW file. I'm not sure why it would open OK in Irfanview. I had a similar problem after a HDD crash and tried Irfanview with no more luck than any of the Adobe programs.
Have you tried Adobe's DNG converter to see if you get the same result? Is this a consistent problem, or just this one time?

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

Adobe Camera Raw to Photoshop Workflow

Hi
Can someone please tell me those edits which should/Must be done in Adobe Camera raw on a Raw image prior to importing and editing with Photoshop.
I believe its the following.
-White Balance
-Crop
-Exposure to recover blown highlights
-Tone adjustments to contrast and Brightness
-Lens Chromatic and vignetting
-Renaming and 16bit exporting
Every thing else can be carried out ion the Tif in PS
Thanks
Carlo

Most Camera Raw-oriented people say do as much as possible in the plug-in, but I tend to think that Photoshop (the main app) isn't all washed up just yet.
I do pretty much what you listed, myself.
When CS5 was first released with Camera Raw and the new 2010 process, I did quite a bit of experimentation to find out just what seemed to give the best results with regard to delivering the best detail in my images. It turns out doing upsampling in Camera Raw to the highest or next to highest pixel count gives slightly better, more natural looking detail IMO. Of course you need a good computer to handle the extra image size.
Converting to 16 bits/channel seems prudent.
Also note that if you convert to anything other than the ProPhoto RGB color space you chance getting channel clipping, where values for one of the color channels come up solid black, even though the camera may have measured above-0 luminance in those parts of the image.

Adobe Camera Raw and Aperture

Ok.. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because if what I am saying is actually true, then Aperture has some seriously frustrating issues.
I use Aperture 3 to organize my photos and to do minor corrections, but the majority of my photo editing takes place in Photoshop CS5. I shoot in Raw so I expect to be able to use Adobe's wonderful Camera Raw plugin before opening a photo in Photoshop.
Aperture gives you the ability to edit a photo in Photoshop and have the edited photo go back into Aperture. Thats a great feature. Unfortunately, it seems that if I try to send a raw photo from aperture to photoshop, it will not open in the Adobe Camera Raw plug in. It simply opens in photoshop. If I just drag the thumbnail from aperture into photoshop, it will open the camera raw dialogue and everythings great.. but if I do it that way, it will not update in aperture once I am done editing.
It would be totally fine if I could just save the photoshop file and reimport it into aperture, but when I do that, it just shows up as a blank white photo, instead of the actual photo.
So long story short there is no way to use Aperture AND adobe camera raw. I don't want to use Bridge.
or is there???? Please give me a solution here or I want my money back.
Or is there a way to reopen the camera raw function in photoshop, once the photo is already opened?
Thanks for your help!

I understand your concern, as I wondered the same thing. You might want to read http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11666552&#11666552
regarding a possible workflow for your situation (altho' they are using CS3, not CS5).
I use CS4 but want to move to CS5 to get the additional features of ACR (excellent noise reduction, lens-specific aberration controls, etc.) Thus, my interest in using ACR vs AP3 for some of my images.
I know now that AP3 is doing RAW processing at the moment of import, and that 'file' is no longer able to be processed by ACR via AP3. I was wondering about your trick of dragging the thumbnail to Photoshop and having it open in ACR. I cannot duplicate this, and I've tried different methods. If I could do this, that would be half the battle. (Can you enlighten me?) I will also take a look at Catapult.
I know of no way to open ACR while an image is open in Photoshop (APS). The plugin seems to kick in only when you open it from Bridge or the Finder.
Regarding the blank white photo, I'm assuming it is a PSD with no thumbnail. I have seen this when I import 'old' PSD's into AP3. I fixed this by going into the Preferences in APS, under File Handling/File Compatibility make sure you set 'Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility' to 'Always'. Then, you must open the blank white photo files and Save As... the same file name to overwrite the blank one. You should then see the thumbnail. (Also in APS Preferences, set File Saving Options, Image Preview to 'Always Save').
Granted, not having the option of easily using ACR is a tough pill to swallow for those of us who are in the Bridge/APS camp. I will readily forgo the 'pleasures' of using Bridge for AP3. I will NEVER give up APS since I need layers and graphic/text capabilities it offers. So a smooth interaction between AP3 and APS is a must for me. However, AP3 offers so much more than Lightroom, that I won't look back, now that I've made the switch. Good luck!

Adobe Camera Raw and Elements version 12?

I have Photoshop Elements version 12 that presently has Adobe Camera Raw version 8.5 with it. Can I update to a newer ACR version? If so which one? I'm getting a new camera lens and I see that version 8.5 doesn't support it but 8.6 and newer does. Thanks for the help - I don't want to "blow up" my Elements software by installing something that's not compatible.

Adobe, are you listening to this? Do you really think contracting your support out to India is working if the support personnel can't even provide basic links to your own software update web pages?

Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom?

Can I use Adobe Camera RAW in conjunction with Lightroom?

LR can send an image (or images) from LR to Photoshop by rendering them in ACR.
Sure, it can subcontract the job and passing images to HDR within PS is an Adobe-scripted example of that. However it is AFAICT an arbitrary design decision, that it must be ACR which performs the conversion in these interactions; rather than (as various third-party utilities already do) getting LR to do this part via external files.
IOW, it is only on the basis that ACR is now expected to do, what we already know LR has the ability to do, that version incompatibility arises as a problem.
Let me explain: say I want to blend bracketed exposures together. I have a current version of LR but an older version of PS. The "Edit in.." options are therefore constrained; I cannot, as I could have done with say LR3.x and the same PS version, pass a bunch of images directly.
However, I do have the LR "plugin" (potentially misleading terminology IMO) LR/Enfuse installed. This lets me seamlessly select a bunch of images, interact with external processing which merges these into a single new image (in this case the interaction precedes the making of the rendered copies, but this could be in another order), and then view a resulting image auto-imported into the right place in my LR Catalog; and know that the extra intermediate files which this process requires (as the PS method does not) have been deleted for me.
This is functionally different but in its outcome, equivalent to what using Photomerge would have got me. The difference is that ACR incompatibility has been simply circumvented.
Might there not be an argument (inducements to upgrade PS for other reasons left aside) for Adobe facilitating the use of otherwise perfectly usable older PS versions together with LR, by this kind of route? Harnessing the two horses to the wagon separately, rather than under a single yoke? Providing a scripted "pass multiple images into Photoshop" LR export-based plugin, akin to what LR/Enfuse does?
I suspect there will be a lot of people who in the past have upgraded PS infrequently, and not planning to upgrade every single version going forward, who are currently re-considering their position about PS in view of the announced change of upgrade qualification.
Lightroom only gets stronger the more ways you can use it with other software, and while a "forced" upgrade of PS merely due to ACR considerations may be tolerated when ACR is central to your workflow, this is more likely to be resented when it is LR which is central, and the ACR question intrudes only peripherally. In that case people may settle unhappily for some clunky workaround (toward which Adobe have simply been unhelpful, in their insistence on ACR parity as the sole solution).
