Camera processed copies of RAW files?

Hi, I was wondering, if there is a way to make a copy of a RAW file from the processing settings that the camera intially applies upon taking a RAW photo.
Essentially while looking through my RAW files in Bridge, I noticed that when previewing the files, they show as the settings the camera shot with (In my case, B&W with Purple tint and fairly high contrast). Now what I want to do, is save a copy of this image as a JPEG file with the original settings, as if I had shot the picture as a JPEG. Upon opening Camera Raw I notice that these settings are scrapped for different ones, which isn't what I want. I'm new to shooting in RAW and in fact, the particular scenario at hand was caused by me accidentally shooting in RAW.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

There is software that will display and save the JPEG image that's embedded in the raw file.
For example, IrfanView can be set to extract the JPEG from a Canon .cr2 file and display it. It's a simple File - Save As away from saving it as whatever you like.
I believe the Canon software that comes with the camera can extract the JPEGs directly and save them (or at least it could at one time, I haven't used it in an age).

P.S., it is also possible to set up defaults in Camera Raw to match the in-camera JPEGs very closely. While Jeff may not like the look his camera gives his JPEG files some of us do, and I find it makes a good starting point, as there's just one "image" to start with, no matter how you view it.

Does Photoshop Elements11 with Camera Raw process Pentax KIIs Raw files?

Does Photoshop Elements11 with the provided Camera Raw version process Pentax KIIs Raw files? If not, is there another Adobe plug-in that would handle Pentx KIIs Raw?

From the specifications I have read, your Pentax camera can shoot in the Adobe DNG raw format. There should be no problem with Pentax DSLRs.
This thread has been confusing. With due respect, you are using the right terms in the wrong places.
"RAW" is a generic term for unprocessed photo from a camera. No camera that I know of makes files like "filename.raw". Each camera brand that shoots RAW photos has their own file name. I think for a Nikon it is "filename.nef". For my Sony, it is "filename.arw".
As cameras are introduced, Adobe get the file structure information from the camera manufacturer and weaves it into their products via Adobe Camera Raw or "ACR". Think of it as a translator that can make unprocessed camera data as viewable. ACR marches through version numbers as new cameras are produced. Until a camera model is included in an ACR version, its RAW files are unusable in Adobe products.
There is some concern in the photo world that specific cameras brands may go out of business and their RAW format will become "unsupported". Adobe has tried to answer that by introducing a "generic" RAW format called "DNG" and free Adobe software called "Digital Negative Converter" that uses the same structure as ACR. The purpose is to convert any camera manufacturer's format to the generic format. In a perfect world that is only focused on the user, the entire world would adopt DNG like happened to .jpg. In other words, life would be easier if all cameras shot .dng files like they do .jpg.
If the Pentax KIIs shoots .dng files, I am impressed. I've not heard of any other brand doing that. Nikon, Canon, Sony and Panasonic have not gone there.

Nikon D750 can you tell me when you launch a camera plug in for Raw file, Then I can use photoshop elements 13. I have now a trail version

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7

How do I process Canon G15 Raw files in Photoshop CS5?

Hi - I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm having trouble processing Canon G15 Raw files. I downloaded the most recent Camera Raw converter but it didn't seem to wrong. I suspect I'm doing something wrong in the installation process. Thanks!!

The G15 needs Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3 or higher. Unfortunately CS5 can’t be updated beyond ACR 6.7. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in CS5 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I'm running LR 4.4. Just picked up a Sony RX100 M3 cam. It's RAW files are not supported within my version. Is there a free update still available for my version or do I need to purchase an upgrade to LR5?

The Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
There will be no updates for older versions.
So your choices:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the RX100 III to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

Is there a way to batch process color corrected RAW files to tif files?

I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an indesign doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done? I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need ot do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so no idea how to best go about this, or if I even can. Please help. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64

An easy way is to open Bridge, select the images then click on Tools/Image processor. You can then save as jpg, psd, or tiff.
Hope this helps.

Updated Camera list for converting Raw files in PSE7

I am looking to instal an updated CameraRaw.8bi file to accomodate recent cameras.
Camera updated needed for Canon powershot G15.
Regards Daz.

Photoshop Elements 7 supports Adobe Camera Raw from version 4.5 to 5.6 only.
Please refer following document for you reference:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Canon Powershot G15 starts supported from Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3.
Hereby,raw files from particular camera is not supported in Photoshop Elements 7.0.
However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

Importing camera picture setting with raw file

Is there a way to import my raw file with the camera picture settings from my camera. I use a personally edited version of the camera vivid from my d300. The files are imported without the settings and get set to adobe standard in my camera calibration. I use lightroom 4 with cs5 64 bit.

No is the short answer. Adobe and Nikon are not the same company so don’t have access to the other’s intellectual property and don’t know what the other does to decode the raw data, so neither can be expected to respect the other’s raw engine’s adjustment settings. Your question is the same as asking if Nikon software could use the Adobe XMP data to duplicate how things look in Lightroom.

Camera Conector and Canon Raw files

Hi
I have a Canon 30d, looking at buying a Ipod 30gig to use as a back up whilst shooting and filling a 1 gig cf card rather than keep buying cf cards...
Will the ipod accept the raw files? and will I be able to view the photos ie can an ipod read canon raw file format??
thanks
Steve

Hi
Whether or you can transfer raw photos from a camera to the iPod via the camera connector I don't know. However, I do know that on the older iPods (the ones with the color screen which can't play video) you could transfer a movie (mpg) that you had shot on a digital camera. Although the iPod couldn't play the movie, you could see tell if the movie had transferred, and you could then transfer the movie from iPod to the computer with no problems. Thus, it may be possible to transfer raw photos from camera to iPod via the camera connector and then from iPod to computer. However, the iPod CANNOT display raw photos, so even if you can transfer them, you won't be able to see them.
Hope this helps

What does a camera add to a Raw file to make a finished Jpeg version?

I've used Lightroom 4 for a while now but have only ever used Jpegs, and mostly using just the basics panel and curves. I want to try developing Raw files now too.
I was wondering, compared to a Raw file what extra steps does the camera add to make a Jpeg file of the same image, essential steps that you would consider doing yourself to a Raw file in Lightroom too?
I'm aware of Noise reduction, but am a little unsure about the rest.
Many thanks.

Pbeck1 wrote:
my original question I feel is still partly unanswered, and that is: For a beginner to Raw editing, is there some sliders that should always be checked &/or adjusted without fail (even if you decide that no adjustment is needed).
Answer:
* white balance is critical, so it should always be considered on every photo, even if no adjustment required.
* make sure you set camera profile according to taste (and after you gain experience, you may want to roll your own).
* set lens corrections by default: CA + profile (I use a percentage of 100 for vignette correction by default, depending on lens).
* fixed default for Lr color noise reduction (Lr default is usually fine). (color noise reduction is auto-adaptive, so you really don't need to set based on ISO, although you may need to up it on some photos to get all color noise, or down it on some photos to eek out max detail.
* luminance noise reduction and sharpening should be set (initially) based on ISO range.
Then adjust the basics. If toning can't be perfected with basics, supplement with tone curve, if still some imperfect areas, touch up with locals. Use HSL if need be, and so on and so forth.
Fair enough?
PS - I consider a default of 30 for luminance noise reduction to be *extremely* high. I start at zero for low ISO shots, and ramp it up to 25 for highest ISO shots. But consider that Lr's sharpening detail slider should only be used at lower ISOs (that's just my opinion/taste - ymmv). I set detail at 20 for lowest ISO shots, and ramp it down to zero for high ISO shots (as a default - I sometimes up it or down it afterwards). If sharpening detail is kept low, you won't need so much Lum. NR.
Notes:
* color noise reduction detail matters very little except at highest ISOs, in which case you can up it to eek out more detail, usually at the expense of more noise (so it needs to be balanced with amount).
* likewise luminance NR contrast has only a very subtle effect at highest ISOs, and can pretty-much be ignored unless you are really wringing out the detail.
* luminance noise reduction detail however can be important for not losing hard-won detail in the interest of noise control - consider uping it if you need to preserve detail in birds feathers or stone... - crank it down if you just want it clean - detail not important..
What else you need to know?
To summarize:
===========
Lens corrections are a necessity in most cases, and you need to figure out how you like NR & Sharpening set by default. Camera profile determines the general look and feel of the photo and as such can be considered setting #1 (white balance is also setting #1 - yep: there are two #1s ;-}).
Many photos can then be adjusted satisfactorily just using the basic sliders. What's needed after that, really depends on the photo, and you...
Final thoughts are about sharpen masking. I used it a lot in the beginning, then noticed yucky artifacts / sparkling stuff scattered about..., and stopped using it entirely for years. It's undesirable side-effects are most noticeable when sharpening detail is up (and/or sharpening amount). Moral of the story, if you keep sharpening detail (and/or sharpening amount) down, you can also use sharpen masking to keep from sharpening noise in "sky" and "skin", as another way to keep from needing so much lum. NR. Anyway, I'm using it again now, albeit very judiciously. Tip: press Alt key when adjusting sharpen mask slider.
Put another way: sharpen masking masks (disables) sharpening in some places, but not others. Whether the transitions between masked regions and adjacent unmasked regions looks like hell or not depends on how much noise is being sharpened in the unmasked regions, since it's not being sharpened at all in the masked regions. Unfortunately, the situation can not be improved by increasing global noise reduction, since that makes the masked regions smoother too (as well as the unmasked regions).
Bottom-line (imo): If low-noise is the priority over sharpening, then keep sharpening amount and detail low and use masking. If sharpening is a priority over over noise, then leave masking off and crank up sharpening til heart's content. If both sharpening and noise are priorities, there is no choice but to sharpen and/or noise reduce via locals, since using sharpen masking in conjunction with high sharpening (detail and/or amount) on a noisy (or even semi-noisy) photo, looks like cr@p (yes: that's just my opinion), regardless of global lum. NR setting.
PS - Some people use sharpen masking with sharpening detail (and/or sharpening amount) up too and don't know what the heck I'm talking about - YMMV...
Although I use zero sharpen masking by default, some people use light sharpen masking in default settings, and some people use heavy sharpen masking as default. Worth considering how much of it you tend to like...
UPDATE:
~~~~~~~
Settings you usually don't have to mess with, as a beginner: and why.
* Camera calibration color sliders: white balance suffices.
* Effects: most are "advanced" / optional (although you may want to explore post-crop vignette amount as your first foray).
* Lens corrections: you need chromatic aberration at a minimum, and some profile-based correction by default is usually good, but the rest are "advanced".
* Detail (covered above).
* Split toning: "advanced".
* HSL: "intermediate".
* Tone Curve: consider using the parametric curve sliders, if you are beginner; point curve & channel curves are advanced; moving the parametric range-changing doo-hickeys: let's call that "advanced" too.
* Locals and such can be considered not for begginers, but they will need to be used too at some point for optimal results. I mean, even beginners need to get the red-eye out sometimes, or kill dust spots... And you can get by without gradients or paint for a while, but not for long...
Have fun,

Oly E-PL2: How do I override in-camera crop in imported RAW file?

When I import RAW files from my Oly E-PL2 for which I have set an aspect ratio other than the native 4:3, Aperture reads this and displays the set ratio in both the thumbnail and in the viewer. How can I revert to the original 4:3 (the full RAW data)? I know the original RAW file still has all the data because if I export the original and open it in Olympus Viewer 2, the full 4:3 is there with the crop overlayed.

So how could I solve this?
In Lightroom, select "Save metadata to file" in the metadata menu in Library for the image you want to edit. Then Right (or control) click on it and from the popup select "Show in Finder/Explorer". Then a Finder (or Explorer) window will open where you can double click the RAW file (if you have set up Photoshop as the default editor for them), or you can drag the RAW file on Photoshop. ACR will open and you can do any edit you want. If editing the point curve is all you wanted, click on "Done". Now go back to Lightroom and for the image, select "read metadata from file" from the metadata menu. Lightroom will read in the new recipe in the xmp sidecar and update your image, including the point curve! You can only not edit it in Lightroom, but it will use it just fine.
