Apparent Bug in Saving ACR Presets

I was experimenting with some Camera Raw presets for a new camera and discovered that when I saved a preset for the Detail panel, some of the values were omitted. Specifically, the preset did not save the values for Luminous Detail, Luminous Contrast, and Color Detail from the Noise Reduction section of the Detail Panel. Shown below is a preset I saved with dummy values to illustrate this problem. You can see that the three values I mentioned above are missing from the preset. Would someone please try this on their computer to see if this is indeed a bug or if I have something else going on?
I’m using Camera Raw 6.3 on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer. Photoshop version is 12.0.3x64, and Bridge is version 4.0.4.2. If this is an actual bug, maybe someone who has ACR 6.4RC could check to see if it’s still a problem in this newer version.

I got a lot more - including I think the ones you're saying you're missing - when I tried it with 6.3, as shown below.
Did you check all the boxes in the dialog asking you what you wanted to save?

Very Minor Bug 1.4.1 Presets & Sync

Probably more of an oversight that a bug in 1.4.1. Color Noise Reduction setting is not available (no check mark) when saving a preset or syncing when you are doing it from a grayscale image. Probably something left over from the previous version that did not allow Color Noise Reduction in grayscale images.

Color Noise Reduction settings are available for grayscale images in the Lr2 beta.

Saved user presets in "drummer"

Hi
a few but not all saved "user presets "have disappeared in the "drummer" folders
anyone else experienced this??
thanks

Ans 1 - The User Presets folder is shared across all versions of Lightroom, so there's normally no reason why you would need to do anything after an upgrade.
Ans 2 - Yes, moving from one OS to another means you have a few hurdles to jump. Install Lr3 on your Mac then copy the Catalog and Previews across to the Mac. When you launch Lr3 on the Mac it will create an new default Template/Preset folder named "Lightroom" at /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ Next, copy the entire Lightroom Template/Preset folder from the PC to the Mac, thus replacing the original. Relaunch Lr3 and the old presets should now be accessible.

Import Saved Document Presets from older PS to PS CC 2014

Is there a way to import saved document presets from older versions of Photoshop into Photoshop CC 2014? I have a fair amount of document presets I use almost daily and it'd be a pain to have to enter all of them again to save them.

If you create an action set with just the one action and save the set upload the uploade it to the web and post a link to the .atn file we can download the action and test that on our machines. You will get feedback from both Mac and PC users. It sound odd that it would work once then fail the second time. Was Photoshop CC 2014 up before you used bridge menu tools>photoshop>batch the first time or was Photoshop started because you used tools>photoshop>batch. If is was not up did you try closing PS down before the second batch?

Error loading/saving PDF presets

Error loading/saving pdf presets
I am using CS4 and Windows 7. I have a .joboptions file I want to load in InDesign, but when I try, I get the error message: Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected.
I am a local administrator on the computer.
I have tried manually copying the .joboptions file into the folder C:\Users\<my profile>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings, but it doesn’t show up in the list of available presets.
I used the same version of InDesign with Windows XP and was able to load and save presets this way just fine.

Thank for the tip. But unfortunately it is only a partial solution.
When I 'run as administrator' in Windows 7 I have no problems, that is a bit of a solution, but for me it is a mere workaround.
I want to find out how I can load and save PDF export settings without running as Adminstrator, since we have 7 people using the presets and they don't want to run InDesign everytime as an Administrator.
I have all the rights (local admin) to all folders, therefore I was hoping somebody already fixed this in his/her system...
Hope Adobe comes up with some sort of solution for this apperently Windows 7 problem.

Saving Effects Presets and the new Mask feature-are masks supposed to be saved?

I'm finding that if I put a new mask on a clip (say a mosaic) and then adjust the mask so it's over someones face, then save a custom preset so I can call up the effect faster when I need it again (ideally just moving the position of the mosaic and perhaps adjusting it's size), the mask IS NOT saved in the preset. I'm referring to highlighing the MOSASIC filter, then right-clicking SAVE PRESET, giving it a name and having it show up in the EFFECTS panel "Preset" bin.
Is the mask you create in a filter SUPPOSED to be saved as part of that preset you're saving as mine are not. It does save the MOSAIC filter and any adjustments I've made to the horizontal and vertical blocks, but not the mask itself. That seems like an oversight. I find this interesting because if I've COPY the clip that paste it's attributes to another clip, in that case it DOES take the MASK with it and I can manipualte, but not when saving as a PRESET.
I'm trying to determine if I'm having a problem or if saving the mask you create in the mosaic (or any filter) is supposed to save with a preset or not?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

i have the same issue. i applied a mask to the color corrector (3 way) and when i saved the preset the mask did not save. anyone else? help on this?

Help With ACR Presets

Hi! I am trying to use some new ACR presets I purchased. These are the first presets I've ever used. I am working on a new Macbook Pro, and have loaded the .xmp files to library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings. They are now showing up in ACR, but when I try to use them, I get this message "Unable to load the raw conversion settings. The raw conversion settings file is invalid." Any help??

I bought them from LilyBlue. I thought it would save a ton of time from having to open in Photoshop. I have CS5. Here's the specifications from the purchase.
WHAT VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP DO I NEED FOR LILYBLUE ACTIONS? FOR LILYBLUE RAW PRESETS?
most lilyblue actions have been developed for cs and above. lilyblue raw presets have been developed for acr (adobe camera raw) and adobe lightroom. both versions are included in your purchase. they work on both pc and mac.

Does anyone know how to load ACR presets when using ACR in the creative cloud?

Will ACR presets made in CS3 work in CS?

I'm interested in buying some ACR presets, they're made in CS3. I have CS, will they work?

Adobe ACR - Presets Category

Hello,
Many of us have many many presets for Adobe ACR located in our Camera Raw Settings folder.
Usually they are sorted in folders to keep them organized.
The problem is, if they are in sub folders within "C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings\Royi's ACR Presets" they won't show under the Presets tab in ACR.
So we are left with the choice of well organized presets folder or the quick access through the Presets tab (Now we must access using "Load Preset").
We want both.
Could I offer a suggestion, let us have categories for Presets in the preset tab.
Each sub folder will create a category in the presets folder.
This way we'll have both worlds.
Thank You.

New 30D Lightroom & ACR Preset Available.

New 30D Lightroom & ACR Preset Available.
I have a set of presets for Lightroom 1.1 and ACR 4.1 that will IMHO improve on the default color rendering from Adobe.
To obtain the beta please visit: http://www.huelight.com to download.
I look forward to your comments.

Phil, If you look further you'll find that <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~tindeman/raw/acr-calibrator-l.html" target="blank">Simon Tindeman's ACR calibrator script</a> takes away a lot of the tedium. I recently calibrated a Nikon D200 and a Canon 30D back-to-back under the same lighting conditions (studio flash) using this script and got: <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Nikon D200</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Canon 30D</TD> </TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6150</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6300</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-29</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.55</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1.4</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-13</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-11</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-7</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-14</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">9</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-10</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">3</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-4</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD></TR> </TABLE> When I applied them to some purple chocolate wrappers photographed in the studio they compared very well to each other and the real wrappers. YMMV, of course. However, don't be under the illusion that this 30D calibration is right for all 30Ds. In fact, it may not even be right for teh same 30D under different conditions. To illustrate this, today I photographed the same colour chequer twice and ran the script on both files. Under the studio fluorescents, with a very different illumination level, etc, etc - but the same camera within about three minutes, the same lights, the same colour chequer, and came up with: <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 1</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 2</TD> </TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5500</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5150</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">16</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">21</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.7</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">2</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">24</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-5</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">8</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-9</TD></TR> </TABLE> So, this would be telling you that - most things want more red saturation - my so-called 6500 K illumination is good in red but off in green - things are never the same twice So while it's interesting to calibrate, if you look too closely you'll end up wishing you'd never asked. Again, YMMV. Damian PS Not really sure why U2U formatting leaves so much space above my tables. I thought I was being soooo clever, too.

Saving Custom Preset "Administrator Error"

Hello Everyone.
I am trying to save a Custom Preset. I have created a new folder Inside Preset Folder for my custom presets. Also, I have selected the Effect and I click on Create a new Animation Preset. I get this Error message:
You do not have a Permission to save in this folder, contact the Administrator to obtain permission.
I have Window 8.1
Thanks.

Dear Mylenium.
I have tried saving the Preset in any folder, I still get the same Error. I created a custom folder in my presets and I got the error message, If i tried saving it outside the Presets folder After Effects gave me a Warning that
It would be better not to save outside the presets folder. I have Window 8.1.
As far as Permission, I don't know how to change the settings.
Thanks..
UPDATED:
I noticed The Error message telling me that Do you want to save it in the Computer/C:/Users/ Username.
and If I say yes, I can save the custom preset into my username folder which is wrong.
I did go back to After Effects, and I created a new movie clip and I Browsed to my username folder and I could attach the custom preset from the user folder into my after effects video. But I want to be able to save my custom preset in my After Effects Preset folder not In my C:/Username/ User folder
Thanks.

Convert ACR presets to Lightroom?

Is there an easy way to convert ACR presets to Lightroom presets? I don't use ACR, so
that would be new for me. Any advice or direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is no easy way to convert ACR presets to Lightroom. However, there is a method by which you apply the preset to an image in ACR so that they written to XMP then import that image into Lightroom. In Lightroom you select the imported image then create a new preset, making sure that you have all of the settings checked in the preset dialog. Frankly, it isn't worth the hassle and more often than not users screw up somewhere along the way.

Converting ACR preset to Lightroom preset

Is there a quick and easy way to convert an ACR preset to a preset or develop template for Lightroom?

Make your adjustments in ACR, save but don't open. Then open the file in Lightroom and the settings will be preserved (including Point Curve adjustments). Then save as a Preset in Lightroom.

Apparent Bug: Adding photo to Contacts

I was editing a contact and noticed an apparent bug:
Go to Contacts --> Select a Contact (one without an assigned picture) --> Click "edit" --> Click add photo --> Select the option "Take photo" --> Take a photo.
Even after selecting use photo, it will not be added to your contacts. The contact will still show no photo. Additionally, the photo will not be added to your photos album or anything. New bug?

I have noticed this issue and and off throughout the history of my various iPhones. In iOS 4 it is certainly there, but I am honestly unsure if this is a bug with the OS, or something that is in my backups that just continues to manifest as I update/transfer my iPhone to new ones each year.
While I applaud that I have been able to do that and the relative stability, it would be GREAT if I could carry forward application data, yet delete other settings. I'd really like to start my iPhone over (as in, set it up as new and just transfer my apps and their data back to the phone,) but it is really an all or nothing proposition.
Have any of you had this issue after a reset of the iPhone? Are we all people who have carried our phone images forward? Would be curious to know...
