Camera Raw 4.5, 4.6, 5.0 and 5.1

Just to try to answer some questions in advance now that Photoshop CS4 is shipping...
Included with Photoshop CS4 is Camera Raw 5.0. Due to the lead timing required ship a product as complex as CS4, the raw format support in Camera Raw 5.0 matches that of Camera Raw 4.5 for CS3.
We are currently finishing up the final testing passes on Camera Raw 5.1, and we plan to release this "soon". Camera Raw 5.1's raw format support will exactly match the recently released Camera Raw 4.6 (for CS3).
The next release of Camera Raw that will provide new camera support (beyond what 4.6 supports) will be Camera Raw 5.2.
Camera Raw 5.0 and later require Photoshop CS4 or Photoshop Elements 6 or 7.

>My original question was simply whether or not they were willing to post the beta. Since they posted betas for 4.5 and 4.6 prior to their final releases, the concept didn't seem unreasonable to me!
I wouldn't get too used to the concept of expecting betas of Camera Raw to be released..it takes a lot of time and effort to make a beta available and sometimes it's time that would be far better spent on getting the actual release out. Also, since the intent has already been stated that the 5.1 update would be available very soon after the release of CS4, it makes even less sense to spend the time releasing a beta and then having to have people un-install the beta and install the final GM.
As you might imagine, this has been a very busy time for Adobe with the release of CS4...the fact that they got 4.6 out AFTER CS4 was announced and at a time which is similar to the shipping of Camera Raw 5 and then had to do an immediate 5.1 update to cover the cameras that 4.6 supported means that the engineers are working very, very hard. And there are yet NEW cameras coming out soon that will require yet another Camera Raw 5 upgrade and you can see that the industry would indeed be better served by adopting a standardized raw file format that would mitigate the update shuffle...

How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Camera Raw 5.5 will not install? And Camera calibration button question.

I just built a new computer with 7 PRO and installed all my software. So when it comes time to instal 5.5 raw it goes about half way through and tells me to shut off Bridge. As far as I know the bridge window and program are off and not running. I even unpined it off the taskbar.
In CS4 when opening a Raw file and I go to my camera calibration botton there are only two options that come up, Arc 3.3 and 4.4. Where are all the other options at? Do they come with the 5.5 update? Thanks Keig

Odds are you've got Bridge set to auto-launch at startup...make sure it's not running when you try to install the update.,.and yes, the update should install the addition DNG Profile options.

I am trying to update camera raw to 8. something, after down loading and installing the plugin Photoshop 5.0 still shows 6.02 How do I get the plugin so that it works with Light room 5 which I just purchased?

When will a Camera Raw new version become available for CS5 and Nikon D800 images ?? Any clues?

I understand that I have presently an option to download the Beta version ACR 6.7 and it expires by May 31st.
Does this mean that a new ACR version will become available for regular automatic update on or before that date?
I just want to know when will I be able to enjoy processing the images from the new Nikon D800 I hace CS5

I would expect Adobe to support the current version of LR with the current version of PS as usual.
Last time it was the opposite, but this time, LR4 with PV2012 came out, first, when CS5/ACR6.x was the current version so I would expect Adobe to release a final CS5-compatible ACR that knows how to render, but not adjust PV2012 recipes from LR4. This is what ACR 6.7RC attempts to do but with some luminance differences with certain PV2012 toning sliders near their extremes. Adobe rushed things a bit, this time, due to the D800 and 5D.3 cameras coming out about the same time and wanting to make big spenders happy sooner rather than later, so I expect they are taking extra time to get things right in the released versions of ACR 6.7, ACR 7 and LR 4.1. With CS6 also coming out, and the economy still on the rocks in many areas of the world and country, resources are stretched thing, but I expect all will resolve in time.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

Hello,
I need urgently help.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
Thanks so much for your help

What camera and version of ACR?

Camera Raw, What Is It? Where Is It? Demystify Please

I'm told by Lightroom that I have an older version of Camera Raw but it no longer gives me that message on startup because I probably checked the box that said don't remind me again.
In the interest of learning more about Camera Raw I need to know:
Is it an application? - I don't see it in the applications folder (Mac)
Is it a plug-in module? - I don't see it in the Photoshop plug-ins folder.
Where does it reside? - I did a Spotlight search of my entire system and the only things that came up for Camera Raw are some folders in Library>Application support and a bunch of pdf files.
I need to tell which version I have but can't do that until I find it - whatever it is.
My next question has to do with lightroom: Does Lightroom use Camera Raw (I'm gathering it does if it recognizes I have an older version). Is Camera Raw the machine that operates behind the curtain of 'Develop?'
If I knew the answer to just these few basic things, I think I could understand a lot more about how Lightroom operates in Develop mode.
TIA,
Ken

Thanks for the info ssprengel,
So, it it is a plug-in that Photoshop uses; (I have CS3 with Photoshop Extended) why is it not in the plug-ins folder for Photoshop?
Why does it not update automatically like every other Adobe product I have does on a regular basis? My CS3 Photoshop has updated but why would the Camera Raw plug-in be ignored?
Also, If Lightroom uses the Camera Raw engine, doesn't that mean that it should not be concerned with what plug-in I have for Photoshop? That part just does not make sense to me.
"You should keep ACR up-to-date with LR to avoid making adjustments in LR that ACR cannot perform." --- Aha!, so that means that there are TWO Camera Raw engines working, one built into Lightroom and one floating around in the system somewhere? (I have not located yet.) And these TWO Camera Raw (one internal to Lightroom and one a plug-in for Photoshop?) need to be kept in sync with same version number?
I'm going to now go into Photoshop and see if I can update the Camera Raw plug-in from there as you recommend.
Thanks,
Ken
Okay, I am back from running update, all of my software is up to date. The problem is that I have CS3 and the newer versions of Camera Raw beyond 4.x are only compatible with CS4. Because of the ailing economy right now I will have to be lop-sided on Camera Raw it looks like.
Will I be okay if I just do not use Photoshop Camera Raw and only use Lightroom 2.4? or should I de-grade back to an older version of Lightroom? (I don't like that idea.)

How to install Camera RAW update for Photoshop CS3?

I know this is an ancient version! But for now it's all I need. Anyway...
My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem. I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates. Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it. I knkow the website says to do the following:
Mac:
Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
Open the Finder.
Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensureyou keep this version in case you need to revert back.
Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist. Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!
Thank you so much!

Starting an action by opening an image in Camera RAW

I am currently using Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Windows XP Pro as the operating system. The computer is a self build and has 2GB of RAM, 450GB of onboard HD storage and 6x500GB of external HD storage.
As a photographer I frequently end up with anything between a 100 and 300 RAW images after a days work and convert them to DNG, Tif and JPEG files.
With CS2 I ran an action which opened the image in Camera RAW which then enabled me to make adjustments before opening the image in Photoshop and completing the other elements of the action. Since upgrading to CS3 I have been unable to create a similar action and having read the "knowledge based" information and looked through the topics in the forum have failed to find anything that is of help. As each image and the conditions under which it has been taken differ it is quite important to make corrections in Camera RAW before completing the action in Photoshop and fixed settings applied by Camera RAW would be inappropriate.
It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
I should be very grateful for any help in resolving this problem

>It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
there's your problem...when you start the action recording from Photoshop you'll need to actually open a raw image FROM Photoshop not from Bridge. Don't know if this changed from CS2>CS3, but that's the only sure way of recording an open function...from within Photoshop. Then in the Batch you'll still need to override open so the open will open the image with the parameters already set in the image.

Adobe Camera Raw Update Stuck at 99%

I updated to the newest camera raw as recommended by Adobe update mgr and it has been stuck at 99% all night long? CS6 v 13.0.1 64 on Win7 64

:-) I kind of thought it might have fixed itself and the OP didn't like to come back and say so. Mike's idea is a good one if it really was stalled.

Custom Camera Raw settings not being recognised after copying to another mac

Images captured on MacBook Pro and custom settings applied in Camera Raw, images then transferred to Mac Pro via USB are opened on Mac Pro using Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw doesn't recognise the custom setting and opens using the setting used last time in Camera Raw.
How do you retain the custom settings when transferring images and opening on another mac, the files are CR2 and the xmp files are also copied as well.

...and you did copy the xmp files as well as the RAW files to the second computer?

Camera Raw Preferences greyed out in Bridge 4.05.11

I have recently downloaded an update for Adobe Camera Raw / PS CS5 via automatic updates and now I cannot open raw files via Adobe Bridge (V4.05.011). When I double click the NEF file In Bridge it tries to open in PS but I get "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge is grayed out and Camera Raw plug-in does not appear in PS Help/About Plug-ins.
I have checked that Camera Raw Plug In is still in the program files: common files>adobe>plug-ins>cs5>file formats.
I have tried updating via the Updates in both Adobe Bridge and PS CS5 and it tells me there are no updates.
I am using Windows XP 32 bit, PS CS5 V12.0.4
I have been trying to fix this problem for days and would really appreciate some help.

Bridge: Apply all CS3 updates in order, bottom to top.
Photoshop Version CS3 (not CS3 International), Start from the bottom with Buffering Extensions, 10.0.1 update, and you can go all the way to Adobe Camera Raw 4.6
If you have a camera models beyond what's supported in 4.6 and your OSX is 10.7 or later, download the 8.7.1 DNG converter.
