Blue areas in raw image

I have Photoshop elements 8 and Camera Raw 5.5
When I open some photos in Camera raw parts image becomes blue.
But it is only these areas. The rest of the image is ok.
I have not observed it until my last photo session.
When I select open from the raw image and enter Elements it is not visable any longer.
I enclose a screen short of parts of the picture where the problem is obvious.
The picture is take with Nikon D90.
What could be the problem?
Thanks for any hints.

What you're seeing is the shadow clipping warning. Click the little triangle at the top left corner of the histogram to turn it on/off.

  • Why are my RAW images imported in to Lightroom 5 being de-saturated?

    Lately, in LR 5.3 and 5.5, every time I import RAW images they show up de-saturated.  In the thumbnail they look right, but in both the library and develop mode main screens they show up very flat and de-saturated.
    This is the first time I have had this problem.....never had it in V2-4.
    I am shooting with a Canon 5D MIII.
    I thought that there may be a preset during import that is doing this, but I do not think that is the case. 
    I need some help, any ideas what is causing this?  I cant process all my weddings with this issue.....it would take forever to fix.

    Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area.  Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
    Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

  • Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

    I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.

    And
    What camera?

  • Why are my RAW images grainy on some devices after saving as JPG files?

    I am new to the world of photography, so forgive me if my question is silly.
    I just recently started shooting in RAW format.  After editing my photos and saving them as JPG files, I am running into a problem.  When I view the image files on my computer, my iPad, or my iPhone, they look great.  I can even zoom in super close, and the images still retain amazing quality.  However, when I set them as a desktop background, they are SUPER grainy.  Here is an example.  I just took a screen grab of each one on my computer.  Here is the first one, which is the file itself when opened in Microsoft Office 2010.
    Here is the screen grab of the same exact same file when I set it as a background on my computer:
    Is this an issue with processing/editing/whatever the technical term may be?  Or, is this a computer display issue?  I could almost understand if the images were different files, but they are the same file.  Can anyone help me out?   I have a friend who wants me to take some photos for her this weekend, and I'm scared to shoot in RAW format for this reason, although I do enjoy the control I have over my images in that format.  I'm also scared to see what my photos look like when printed. 
    Thanks in advance!

    It’s really impossible to make a judgment from screen grabs. But how are you making the desktop background; ideally you should be using the original to make a re-sized image at the native resolution of your monitor.

  • I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • LR 4 edit Camera-RAW-Image in PS CS 6 - edited photos are not shown in LR

    Platform Win 7 SP1 64 bit german, LR 4.1 german, PS CS6 german with Camera RAW 7.1, catalog with 66800 images
    When I select a RAW-Image and select edit in PS CS 6 the image is opened in photoshop and everythings seems to work find. But after saving the image (as tiff, using default settings) nothing habens in LR - the image is not imported into the catalog.
    When trying to sync the folder manually, the first dialog shows that one image (this image) will be added, but then an error message is shown that no image has been imported.
    This is  a problem with my big main catalog which has been migrated from LR 3, but it works fine when creating a new catalog.
    Also importing the existing huge catalog into a new catalog did not solve the problem (but the images edited within the old catalog were shown).
    So it seems that LR does only a partial "import" when editing images in CS6.
    Any hints to solve the problem are welcome
       Thanks, Christian

    Some further reflection on this issue.
    If "sync folder" shows the edited TIFF in the filesystem but is then not importing anything, one explanation may be: this image IS already in the Catalog; but Lightroom's current view has filtered it out so it is not displayed.
    This might not be the case - and I hesitate to suggest the too-obvious (though the too-obvious is often what trips us up , even the most experienced). But it does at least fit with having the problem in one Catalog but not in another... if one Catalog happens to be set to show its images in some selective way which excludes these image versions.
    Library screen / Catalog panel / "all photographs"; then Grid view / Filter bar / "None"; then Photo menu / Stacking / "expand all stacks"; then View menu / Sort / "Capture time" (or the same operations done another way) should either eliminate, or confirm. You should then see each and any edit version that is present, right next to its related original.
    It may be that the Catalog, and its contents, are fine.

  • Why are RAW image thumbnails not being rendered?

    OK. I am not sure that I used the right terminology, but I have noticed that Bridge is no longer rendering (? proper term) the Canon Raw image thumbnails properly in Bridge CS6.
    I shoot RAW and Small JPEGs. I copy the folder of images onto my external hard from my camera and open Bridge. I see thumbnails of both the RAW and JPEGs with a black border around each image. As Bridge reads each image, the black border disappears from each JPEG thumbnail, but not from the RAW thumbnail like it used to do.
    When I click the raw thumbnail once, I get the larger RAW preview image. When I click the larger image and get the loop, the RAW thumbnail then renders and  either the black border disappears from the thumbnail or the corrections made in bridge become visible in the thumbnail.
    When the loop is on the larger preview image, the image in the loop enlarges automatically to 200% and I have to take the time to scale it back to read the image selection at 100%.
    When I do a batch edit of many RAW images in Bridge, I can click done and the small slider in a circle icon appears above the RAW thumbnail, but the thumbnail is not rendered to reflect the correctiuons made to the image.
    This was never an issue before. Bridge was great in reading RAW images at all stages and now it's not.

    Have you selected Prefer Embedded previews from the toolbar, or is it set to High Quality on Demand, or Always High Quality?
    Have you tried selecting the containing folder, right-clicking and clicking "purge cache for selection"?
    It sounds like you are having problems with the cache. Depending on the number of images you have and the speed of your computer, it might be worth purging the entire cache, but this should be a last resort.

  • Imported RAW images are too dark

    I'm using Aperture2.0.1 and importing RAW images from a Canon 1D MkIII. All the images are coming in significantly darker than they show in the camera's display. The camera's histogram shows that the images are correctly exposed but they require boosting in Aperture's Exposure panel of anywhere from + 1.15 to 1.5 before they look right in Aperture. That's quite a hefty shift. I get a similar situation in Capture One Pro but the same images right off the card look bang on in Canon's Digital Photo Professional. In Adobe Lightroom it takes a shift of only +.5 to get into the right range. The exposure settings for the test were done with a Sekonic L-758DR meter and manually setting 3 580EX's but the problem shows up in all kinds of garden variety shots with or without flash. My preferred app is Aperture but I'm sick of having to adjust all my shots to get them into range.
    Is there something I'm missing here?
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    AMAZING!! Thanks for solving this mystery for me. Disabled the Highlight Priority and the shot comes into aperture looking like I it needs no adjustment. There are some clipped peaks in the histogram so there are some minor blown highlights. If I use Highlight Priority, it prevents the clipping and when I adjust the exposure level in Aperture the shot does look right without losing the highlight so Highlight Priority may be the right way to go when I'm shooting jewelry. But your post explains why the images were darkened.
    Thanks again,
    Geoff

  • Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

    I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
    Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
    My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
    Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS  - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
    Thanks
    Gor

    Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff.  In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
    This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
    UPDATE
    FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

  • After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
    I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day.
    There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • I'm unable to download RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives. JPEGS are fine. WHY?

    Suddenly I'm unable to download my RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives when just a few weeks ago I was able to. What happened? I can download JPEGS just fine. No error codes, software works like normal, i see the previews and when i go to my flash drives to open the files the dated file is there but it opens with no images. I've reformatted the memory card twice now, so that's not the problem. Any ideas from all my new friends out there. Thank you.

    We may need more info.  What are your flash drives?  What are you using to copy?  What computer/OS do you use?
    Normally a file is a file... a computer doesn't care what type of file it is.  Whether or not any software knows how to hope the file wont impact the computer's ability to copy it.  This makes me wonder if it is being copied, but can't be opened (e.g. if the software you are using doesn't know how to deal with a Canon T2i RAW file (.CR2).
    RAW is more of a "concept" than a "standard".  Every camera model's RAW file will be slightly different.  If you want to open an image in, say, Photoshop... they provide "Adobe Camera RAW" updates for their software and you'd need the update that supports your T2i (btw, when Adobe releases a "new" version of software, they tend to stop providing RAW updates for all previous versions of that software.  So depending on what version of software you use... the only way to get it to work with RAW may involve having to upgrade the software (there are some cumbersome work-arounds.))

  • I'm trying to import RAW images from my new Fugifilm X-T1. iPhoto says the files are "unrecognizable".Any ideas?

    I'm trying to import RAW images into iPhoto from my Fugifilm X-T1 camera. I get a message saying the "file cannot be recognized". Any ideas ?

    Not necessarily.  Some  "glitches" were experienced by a significant number of users but not all of us, like the WiFi problem.  Those that experienced these issues did have a miserable time of it trying to get things right.  Personally I had no issues.  I did, however, boot into the Recovery volume after installing Yosemite and after each update to repair disk permissions and the disk.  There were a lot of permissions repaired each time.
    Remember millions have upgraded to Yosemite and the number of those having problems is probably a very, very small percentage of them.  That doesn't negate the problems they're having but sometimes overshadows the large percentage of those not having problems.  
    If you plan on upgrading to Yosemite do not run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" applications on your Mac or have any anti virus software installed.  Neither are necessary and are know to do more harm that good.

  • Saving raw images to a CD/files are too big!

    I was the second shooter at a wedding, and the primary photographer asked me to send my raw images straight to her for processing. Music to my ears as less work for me!
    However, when I went to burn my 1800 plus images to a CD, I realized the files would fill over 20 CD's. Seems a little kooky.
    Beyond using an FTP site to send them (which I suspect would have similar size issues) is there a way to 'zip' or 'compress' these files to a CD, and still have the images arrive as full size, raw images?

    A service like www.rapidshare.com will let you upload files that are up to 200MB in size without paying or registering, so if you can ZIP or Stuff the RAWs into archives a little less than 200MB in size then you could upload these via the Rapidshare website and the primary photographer should be able to download them.  A program like WinRAR will split up a large archive into whatever size chunks you want.  The drawback to doing this, of course, is that there are likely to be 60-80 200MB ZIPs involved so it could be tedious for you to upload and her to download them, one by one.
    Otherwise, along the same lines are her initial request, if it's an option, a dual-layer DVD burners are available and will store about 9 GB per disc.  I recently picked up a USB external DL burner for less than $90.  You would need to check with her if she can read DVDs, of course.
    Or 16GB SDHC cards are pretty cheap, at least online, and you could put them all on one of those and mail it.

  • RAW images are not displayed

    I noticed today that one of my albums containing old RAW images (3 years old) are not shown in the preview. The images have been modified in an older version of iPhoto, but the change is gone. I can still open through Photoshop or iPhoto but do not see the edited version anymore ... Does anyone have a clue why?

    Canon PS 9, 10 Canon EOS 300D, 40D ... all my previous cameras, but not all images. As said, there seems to be no rule. Some pictures in the middle of a "roll". But sometimes several events in succession. All images can be opened in Preview. All images can be displayed in the Finder and iPhoto QuickView. If I want to show the images in the preview, are shows the unedited version. If I want to edit the pictures back into iPhoto, then the old edits will become visible again (for some pictures) but they can not be saved.
    I have about 35,000 photos in the library, spread over about 1600 events.
