Camera Raw 6.3 crashes when using sharpening masking

On non-SSE2 CPUs (AMD Athlon XP for example) Adobe Camera Raw crashes when changing masking slider in the sharpening tool.
To completely fix this problem, you should install patched Camera Raw plug-in.
Download link, 32-bit only: http://www.multiupload.com/SDPSHS6IK8
Note: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
While it works just great for me, I can not promise anything.
And note that this is NOT official fix for the problem, it needs to be fixed by developers so it's better to send bug reports.
This solution can be used while there are no better solutions from Adobe.
Just overwrite original plug-in, by default it is located in the: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats
This will fix the problem for all CS5 applications: Photoshop, Bridge, etc because they all use this plug-in.
Sorry, but I will not patch previous versions, so you will need to update Camera Raw to version 6.3 before using patched plug-in.
This problem is present in all Camera Raw 6.x and appears only on non-SSE2 CPUs.

It's been my experience, throughout my 36 year career in computer engineering, that RAM tests almost always succeed even when the RAM has intermittent errors.
Do you have ECC (error correcting) RAM? A system set up to use ECC RAM and with ECC RAM installed will correct some errors as it runs, and will halt and immediately tell you when an uncorrectable RAM error has occurred - which is FAR better than trying to forge ahead with bad data (which will ultimately crash it somewhere). RAM errors happen more often than you'd think, probably because it's the one piece of technology being pushed right to the blistering limits in most computers. Even if the chance of a RAM error is one in a billion, keep in mind that literally billions of RAM reads and writes happen every second.
Every future computer system I'll have will have ECC RAM, as do my current ones.

Camera raw (4.6) crashes when using straighten tool

Hello,
Since I upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 I have a problem when using the straighten tool in Camera raw. Sometimes the program works fine, but very often ACR unexpectely crashes. It doesn't matter how many photo's I have opened in ACR, it seems to be randomly. Strange thing is also that I never see a dotted line when using the straighten tool.
I'm using CS3 with the latest CS3 version of ACR (4.6). I have uninstalled CS3 2 times already, but it doesn't solve the problem.
I also have a laptop with CS3 and ACR 4.6 running on Vista, and there I have no problems. Also when I had Vista on my desktop it was OK, but now with windows 7 I have this problem.
Technical info:
CS3
ACR 4.6
Windows 7 32 bit
AMD Phenom II X4 955 1.6 GHz
4GB RAM
I did see a thread with quite the same problem in CS4, and the advice there was upgrading ACR, but since the ACR I'm using is the latest version for CS3, I can't upgrade ACR. I also can't downgrade to i.e. ACR 4.5 since the previous versions of ACR don't support my Nikon D700.
I hope that anyone of you can help me solve this problem. It's very frustrating when I'm at work and ACR crashes so often.

I have disabled Desktop composition for Photoshop and Bridge and until
l now I haven't had the crashes anymore. Also the line is back
when uing the straighten tool. I hope this is indeed the solution, it looks good until now.

Adobe Camera Raw 8.2 Crashes

Hi everyone,
When I open a smart-object from Camera Raw 8.2 in Photoshop CS6
(i.e. made a new smart-object via copy and double click the icon to open Camera Raw) and I use the eyedropper tool as the Target adjustment tool ((Command + Click) in Camera Raw) to set points on my Curve Camera Raw freezes/crashes. I have tested and it seems to happen when I hit/hold command and scroll over my image to find a point. It shows a circle on my curves but it pauses and freezes.
I have uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled.
I installed all updates.
Purged Camera Raw Cache,
I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.0 with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card
on Macbook Pro Mid 2008 model
I looked around and tried to find articles related to this issue and it maybe a graphics card issue.
However, my driver is up to date and I don't know what the issue is.
My file is on an external hd which shouldn't be an issue but worth bringing up.
Can someone please help with a solution to my issue?
Thank you so much.

Thank you, we'll follow up.

Downloading camera raw for elements on new computer

Is anyone having trouble with your computer hanging up when attempting to download the update for camera raw? It seems the "picture" in the background causes everything to freeze. This is happening on all five fairly new computers in our house...three with Vista, one with XP and one with Windows 7. I can't believe no one else has had this problem.

It is the downloads page. In the background, there is a large, grayish
graphic. When I try to click on anything, it hangs up and I can't do
anything. In the task bar at the bottom of the screen, it either says
"downloading picture
http://www.adobe.com/lib/com.adobe/template/theme/body_dropshadow.png" or
the same thing, but instead of "body" it says "footer_dropshadow.png". This
only happens on the pages that have that background. Otherwise, I can
navigate around the site. If it only happened on one computer, I would
think it was that, but it's all five computers.
Thank you.

Camera Raw 5.5 Crashes on Nikon NEF, 5.4 Does Not

I was successfully running the trial version of Photoshop Elements 7 with 5.4 of the raw file filter. I purchased the Premiere/Photoshop Elements 7 bundle, uninstalled the trial, and installed both full versions.
I also downloaded Camera Raw 5.5 and installed it.
With 5.5 I would receive "Adobe Photoshop Elements (editor) has stopped working" when opening a Nikon NEF file, and Elements would abort. Both x64 and x32 versions of the Camera_raw.8bi file would cause the same problem.
I reinstalled 5.4 and it worked fine.
Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1
Inten Core2 Quad Q6600

Are you sure that you only have one copy of the plug-in installed in the install directory at a time?

Camera Raw 6.7 crashes

I'm using CS 5.5 with Camera Raw 6.7 on Windows XP. Suddenly, I'm having challenges with images opened and edited in Camera Raw 6.7, with either trying to save directly to disk or opening in Photoshop. I am getting "out of memory" errors. I've purged the caches, etc., but to no avail.
Thanks -- Michele

If it worked before maybe you need to reset preferences. In PS click on icon to start and immediately hold down ctrl + alt + shif keys. Should get a reset window. If you see splash screen you are too late.

I have just downloaded camera Raw 8.8 to my computer that runs Photoshop CS6 for my Canon 7D Mark II. CR2 files appear as Icons instead of thumbnails. Does anyone know a fix

Is there a way for CR2 files that are downloaded to Bridge running CS6 to appear as thumbnails rather than Icons in Bridge

You don't download anything "into Bridge". Bridge is a just a File Browser, you put your image files wherever you want and you point Bridge to whatever folder you put your raw CR2s in.

PSE 8 Editor crashes in Adobe Camera Raw

This occurs with either one of these instances--1. When I download a raw file in Editor, or 2. It downloads into Camera Raw, but then crashes when I click on OPen Image. I do have version 5.6 of Camera Raw installed. After it crashes, there is no error message, it just disappears.

That's very possibly the cause of your problems. PSE can get confused when more than one version of ACR is installed. PSE loads every file it finds in the Plug-Ins folder and subfolders, regardless of its name.
Using Windows Explorer, find all versions of the "Camera Raw.8bi" plug-in (including ones you might have renamed or stashed away in subfolders) under
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-ins\
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0\Plug-ins\
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Plug-Ins\
Do Help > About Plug-Ins to verify no version is being loaded.
Then go back to Adobe.com and download and reinstall ACR 5.6, being sure to follow the installation instructions for PSE precisely.

More Usable Image Detail - Adobe Camera Raw Beats Canon DPP

Let me start with a question:
When you do your raw conversions, do you convert to an image that's got the same number of pixels as your camera's imager has photosites?
If so, why? I ask because I'm convinced that - with modern software - to get the most usable detail out of a raw image one should convert directly to an upsampled size. You might think that in trying to get "more megapixels from the same camera" I'm just fooling myself, but again and again when I look at the problem of maximizing the output from existing equipment (which, face it, is everyone's goal, no matter how good the equipment) I keep seeing that there is an advantage to selecting from the upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw. Of course, the computer must be up to handling the additional data.
In actual terms, my Canon 40D has 3888 x 2592 photosites (plus some guard pixels around the edges) making 10 megapixels, yet I find converting to 6144 x 4096 (25 megapixels) to be advantageous - ESPECIALLY when I use my sharpest lenses.
I happened to be doing a head to head comparison between Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 50mm f/1.4 lenses, and the difference between the two appeared pretty subtle - UNTIL I converted to the aforementioned upsampled resolution, and then the more expensive f/1.4 lens clearly stepped ahead. There was simply extra detail I hadn't been seeing clearly at the native pixel size of the camera's imager, but which stood out clearly at the larger size.
This reaffirmed my previous observations that conversion directly to upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw brings out additional detail.
This screen grab shows part of the converted image, as produced by DPP and Camera Raw, both at 6144 x 4096 pixels as produced by the converters and displayed at 100% zoom. Note that the detail (e.g., in the terrain) is finer and more real looking in the Camera Raw conversion, while the DPP image seems to have more sharpening artifacts.
If you're interested in experimenting to see how much detail you can lift out of this same image, the raw file is here:
http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/IMG_5400.zip
I don't have a copy of any other converters, for example Capture 1, to see how they'd do.

Not sure I follow you completely... Just to be clear, can you lay out what "both resolutions" means? I'll be more than happy to go through different processes and present comparison images - I just want to be sure I understand just what you're asking for.
Oh, and you're right - some subjectivity necessarily will appear here. I might just like the "look" of one process while you prefer the "look" of another.
Lastly, one of my workflows involves sharpening images with my own fractal sharpening actions, and I am testing to see which converter process output produces the best result from that as well.
-Noel
I had to read that twice to make sure I knew what it meant!
What I am trying to say is to show the results of both converters in the native resolution and the 25M upsampled.resolution.
On another note, I have been playing around with the details of noise and sharpening in DXO and ACR, looking at 300%. It's both good and bad. If you are willing to mess with the ACR settings at 300%, then ACR has the edge, even comparing to manual tweaks in DXO. They do correctly optimize, however, except that point isn't as good as ACR. The depressing point is all the tweaking to do on an individual basis. Can you imagine tweaking 100 or more images that way? Then you get to move over to other corrections.
We are splitting tiny hairs here, and the bottom line is if you are going to make 30x40 prints from a given file, you may want to use ACR all the way and bite the bullet. If the Auto corrections for the lens employed in ACR is well done, as it seems for my Nikon 18 to 105, the workload is relaxed.
Finally, the ACR corrected image will need final sharpening at higher values than the DXO, and at that point, they come together a bit more...sharpening anomalys and all that.
The final fuss levels takes me back to my 8x10 days, where these kinds of determinations (max quality level) takes place under the focusing cloth, and deliberate selection of POV is carefully considered. Today, it's in front of the monitor. But instead of a few sheets of film to process, we have 100's to do.
I thoroughly enjoy working with the files on the computer, but not so much having to deal with less than optimum technical details right out of the camera. Barrel distortion? Hasselblad was not satisfied with the "normal" corrections in it's general optics, which were damn good, so came out with the 100mm Planar that was awesome! All they gave up was max aperture, and picked the FL at a value that provided for the best corrections. So I recall anyway.
Why should we be required to do these kinds of post corrections? Digital editing involves throwing away information, and ther appears to be enough so that correcting these deficiencies still gives a wonderful image. Just imagine what it would be like if all you need to do is to open the file and adjust values to taste, with all that information density available exclusively for that part. You don't even need to use a focusing magnifier!
Gotta run!

Photoshop CC not recognizing installed camera raw 8.3 plug-in

I have just installed DNG/Camera Raw 8.3 on my computer, and it is running in LR, but when I try to edit a LR photo in PS CC, it says I need Camera Raw 8.3. PS CC is only running Camera Raw 8.2. How do I get PS CC to see the 8.3 version? Better question might be does the DNG 8.3 download include CR8.3, and if not, how do I get CR8.3?

No, the DNG and ACR updates are separate. You should be able to invoke the ACR update from the Help menu in Photoshop.

Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D40

Can't open camera raw images from my Nikon D40 in Photoshop CS2.
I downloaded the camera raw plug-in (3.7) but still cannot open the images.
Many problems:
1) I don't have the folder described in the instructions Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-ins>CS2?File Formats. My plug-ins are located inside my Photoshop folder. Even after I put the camera raw 3.7 in the plug-ins folder, it doesn't show up under "About Plug-ins."
2) I don't have an NEF plug-in anywhere. I searched the places mentioned in forums as well as a my entire computer.
Help!

Just one note of clarification that you need to understand. You do NOT have to match the version of the DNG converter with your version of Photoshop. You always want to use the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert images from all of the most recent cameras that ACR supports. So, currently (as of today) you want to be using DNG converter version 4.4.1. It will create DNG files that will be compatible with any version of ACR back to version 2.4 which works with Photoshop CS.
The other thing to verify is what version of Camera Raw is installed on your computer. You want to make sure you are using version 3.7, because that is the last version that was created for Photoshop CS2. If you are using a Windows computer, open Photoshop and then go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once; if it is listed more than once you have a problem. A dialog will appear that will indicate what version is installed. If it is anything other than ACR 3.7, then you don't have the latest version available.
Be aware that there will never be another update of ACR for Photoshop CS2. But if you keep track of the updates and always keep the latest version of the DNG converter on your computer you will have support for every camera that is supported by ACR.
I don't know if any of this information is helpful to you. I just want to help you understand how to integrate DNG files into your workflow.

Cannot open DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge?

I used Adobe DNG converter on a batch of NEF files (D300). The conversion was successful and the .dng files show up in Bridge with the right preview. However, when I double-click on any of these files, it launches Photoshop and opens the file in CR hosted by Photoshop. This in spite of having my preferences set to "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" in the Bridge preferences. Furthermore, a right-click (or control-click) on the file's thumbnail shows the Open With... item only has "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (default)", and not the option to "Open with Camera Raw" that other RAW files have. Interestingly, if I do some editing in ACR, and click on "Done", then, right-click on the thumbnail, the missing options in the Open menu in Bridge re-appear!
I don't think this was happening before. Is this the expected behavior, or am I missing something?
My setup:
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Camera Raw 4.3.1
My computer:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!

Camera Raw plug-in. How can I download and Install?

For some reason, I don't have the Camera Raw plug-in installed with my Photoshop Elements 11.0 software on my PC. How can I go about downloading and installing the Camera Raw plug-in?

Barbara,
Thanks for replying to my question. First of all, yes I'm sure I don't have
it, or if I do, I'm unable to access it. When I go to File>Open As and
click on the down arrow where you go to make your selection for Camera Raw,
it does not appear as one of my options. All the other options are there,
but not Camera Raw. I went back into Elements 8, 9 and 10, which I also
still have installed, and it does show up there, but not in 11. I did go
into Help>Updates a couple of weeks ago and it said all my updates were
current, so that didn't help. In fact, since then I've installed the trial
version of PSE 12.0 and it shows up there with no problem. My camera is a
Panasonic Linux and every version of PSE, with the exception of 11.0, has no
problem handling my RAW photos, so that is not the answer. After I got your
e-mail today I went back into Help>Updates again for my PSE 11.0
installation and lo and behold it came up with an option to install Camera
Raw version 8.2, which I did, thinking that might just solve my problem.
The installation seemed to download without a hitch, so I think it's lurking
in my system somewhere. The problem I'm having now is figuring out how to
get it into my 11.0 version so that it shows up as an option that I can
click on when I do the Open As command, since it's still not showing up
there. Any additional help you can provide me with would be greatly
appreciated. The reason I so desperately need it in my 11.0 version is
because I'm teaching a SeniorNet PSE 11.0 class and without Camera Raw
installed on my home computer, I'm kinda lost. I've been using 12.0 for the
time being, but my trial period for that is due to run out soon and I hadn't
really planned on buying the 12.0 version this time around. Thanks again for
your help.

Uninstalling Camera Raw 8.4 RC CC

Can soemone please tell me the necessary steps to remove Camera Raw 8.4 RC for Photoshop CC completely so that I can restore Photoshop back to using Camera Raw 8.3. I use MacOSX 10.92 .
Thanks
Trevor Craig

I think the official process to go back to the previous non-beta ACR would be to uninstall PS-CC and any other Adobe app that uses ACR, then reinstall those and reupdate them to the current ACR version using the Updates process from within the apps.
You could try installing ACR 8.3 from one of the direct links on this page, but I don't know if it'll let you downgrade versions that way:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
If you can find the Camera Raw.plugin file on your computer associated wtih PS-CC then there might also be a way to extract and rename the large resource file from the DMG at the above link and copy it over the top of your current Camera Raw plug-in file. I have done this on a PC but don't know what the specific file names and paths are on a Mac to be more specific.
