Camera Raw 4.5 final release?

Now it's been four weeks since Camera Raw 4.5 Release Candidate (ACR 4.5.0.161) was brought to us via Adobe Labs. Does anyone have any issues with it? I don't. Does anyone have an idea when the final release is supposed to arrive? I feel a four-week testing period is more than adequate for a tentative version that's supposed to be a "Release Candidate" (however the plug-in calls itself "4.5 Beta" ... go figure).
Another Camera Raw version most likely will be due in October, to support all the new digital cameras and backs that (hopefully) will get introduced at Photokina in September. I wonder if that's going to be ACR 4.6 ... or will ACR 4.5 "Grand Master" (which means "final release" in Adobe speak) be deferred until then?

Fortunately not, indeed.

Huh? The conclusions you're drawing from my thinking aloud are, umm ... strange, to say the least. If you feel my inquiry was inappropriate and/or pointless then your reply also is.
Actually, I am quite happy with ACR 4.5RC, and furthermore I didn't hear anybody else reporting any problems. And that's exactly why I'm wondering why the final release isn't out yet. I guess I'd be less wondering if this tentative version had been announced and communicated as Beta rather than as Release Candidate. Anyway ... I'm just curious. It does not mean I was unhappy in any way.

Glad to hear it's nice on your side of the Big Pond, too.

Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 final releases are available

Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 are now available as final releases on Adobe.com and through the update mechanisms available in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3. These updates include additional lens profiles support among others. Check out http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/. Following the example of Adobe's collaboration with SIGMA, leading lens manufacturers such as Pentax, Tamron and Zeiss worked closely with Adobe to create some of the profiles.

Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Photoshop Camera Raw 9.0 Release

This evening I noticed that Photoshop Camera Raw 9.0 was released and available for download and install using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
The download and install went well for Photoshop Elements 13/13.1 and Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit computers.
The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in enables Premiere Elements to import raw image format files and dng files as source media into its project. But, Photoshop Elements is needed to open and edit the Camera Raw image in the Camera Raw editing workspace. The following link appears to have an up to date list of Camera Raw version and supported cameras.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
It is necessary for the Camera Raw plug-in to support the camera and for the Camera Raw plug-in to be supported by the version of Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements.
The DNG Converter 9.0 is also available but is downloaded from
For Windows Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
For Mac Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0

There is a disable pan and zoom option for the new Video Story feature after all. Although the dialog showing its existence was shown in the document cited in the previous post, the route to get there was not.
Here is what I found...After opening Video Story feature and selecting a theme and feature assets, I will subsequently get to the section Story Assets where I drag the assets into individual Chapter spaces. After that is done, I click Next which results in "Processing". After the "Processing" is completed, I get a view for "Detail View". I needed to switch from "Detail View" to "Overview" to see a layout of all the Chapters, each Chapter having options which included Edit Chapter.
a. In the Overall view, I went to the Chapter of interest and clicked on the "Edit Chapter" button at the bottom of that Chapter display.
b. The first screenshot displays what I saw after hitting "Edit Chapter". When I brought the mouse cursor in contact with the picture of interest, the blue icon pointed to in the first screenshot appeared. And, when I double clicked that blue icon,
I am presented with the display where I can change the pan and zoom options for one or all.
Please see second screenshot below.

Camera Raw CC and CS6 and Lightroom 5 Support for Canon SX60 Canon 7D Mark II

I have just bought my wife Canon SX60 and loaded pictures into Bridge and saw that Camera Raw does not recognize Canon SX60 CR2s. I checked the supported cameras and saw SX60 is not in the list. I will be purchasing a Canon 7D Mark II on Tuesday and see that it is also not supported. I saw in a forum post that the 7D is not in the current Camera 8.7 but will be part of the Camera Raw 8.7 "production release". I currently have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 will both cameras be supported in the next "production version" of Camera Raw and Lightroom 5 and when is it scheduled for release (I saw some thoughts that it would be by the end of year but was hopefully we can get a more definitive date).
Thanks

It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

What is the difference between LR Develop and Camera Raw?

I am new to LR, but have been using PS for some time. My old work flow was to shoot in RAW transfer to my computer HD then process first in Camera Raw and do final adjustments in PS, then save back to the computer HD.
So far I like LR, which came as a bundle with my subscription to PS CC. But I'm confused about LR's proper place in the workflow.
So a few questions.
Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw? If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
If not then should I process first in LR Develop before going to Camera Raw? I like being able to apply adjustments to multiple photos in a shoot, but I still want the power of Camera Raw for some things, unless LR Develop does that better.
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Is it Shoot>LR>Develop>Camera Raw>PS>Save back to LR.
Or is it Shoot>LR>Camera Raw>LR Develop>PS>Save back to LR. (This one seems very difficult)
Hoping to end my confusion,
Bob Gall

Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw?
The image processing algorithms are identical.
If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
Yes, if you are going to use LR
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Do as much development work as possible in Lightroom. Only if you need additional editing power (that Lightroom doesn't have) would you choose to send the photo to Photoshop. In this case, you would use the Lightroom command: right-cilck on the photo and choose Edit In... https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/open-lightroom-photos-external-applications.html#op en_photos_in_photoshop
This sends a copy of your edited image to Photoshop for whatever you want to do there. Once completed in Photoshop, you would do a SAVE (not Save As) in Photoshop for Lightroom to recognize the edits done in Photoshop.
You may (or may not) find that certain photos don't even need Photoshop.
Camera Raw is not needed in this workflow.

Photoshop CC (2014) claims to be up to date, although it is still running Camera Raw 8.6.0.254. How can I force an update to ACR 9?

How can I force PS CC (2014) to update Camera Raw?

I finally got through to Adobe Support chat, and got a direct link to the update. Problem solved.

Camera raw 7-2 refuses to install into Photoshop CS6

trying to install camera raw 7-2 beta release into Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.1. Installation commences, then I get Error Code: U44M2P15. I have tried new downloads of camera raw, restarting the Mac to no avail. Any ideas??? I need this release to view Sony ARW files generated by the new Sony DMC RX100 camera. Thanks for any assistance!

Thanks for your assistance Jeff. I wish it was so simple. I ended up on the Adobe customer chat where some very kind techs helped me out. The issue was ultimately resolved by reinstalling CS6.
This was way more complicated than it sounds! I ran the photoshop 6 uninstaller, which encountered an error. Following the online error advice, I then installed the Adobe cleaner and run it a couple of times, with restarts. There were still Photoshop 6 files sitting in the Utilities folder. I dragged these to trash manually. Photoshop 6 would not install, giving an error message about halfway through. After nearly 2 hours of tech chat and multiple interventions, the Mac was started in SAFE mode and permissions repaired, photoshop reinstalled from original CD, then upgraded.
Camera raw 7.2 was then installed successfully, and now my Sony Rx100 ARW photo are brightly displayed in Bridge.
I hope this helps anyone else out there who experiences similar problems. Another installation of camera raw 7.2 on different mac (OS10.8.1) running Photoshop 6 was event-free.

LR4 and Camera Raw 6.7

Hello,
This is my first post, so please bear with me if I do something wrong.
I got LR4 (update from 3) right after it was relesed. I also have Photoshop CS5, so I ran into the PS/LR4 interoperability issue like everybody else. I just checked the status of this issue and I read the followinng in the Lightroom Journal (posted by thogarty on March 12, 2012 under the title "Lightroom 4 Hot Issues":
The team would like to provide an update on several issues discovered since last Monday night’s launch. Thanks for your patience while we investigated and compiled this list.
Edit in Photoshop Workflow
Currently, the Edit in Photoshop workflow asks that you have the Camera Raw 7 plug-in installed. Please note that the Camera Raw 7 plug-in is not available at this time. The correct plug-in for Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 compatibility is Camera Raw 6.7, currently available on Adobe Labs Please keep in mind that currently Camera Raw 6.7 is a a Release Candidate version of the plug-in. A “release candidate” label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers.
This is a little confusing. When I start up LR4 and go to Help>About I get the About window in whose upper right corner I see "Lightroom 4.0, Camera Raw 7.0". What is going to happen when the Camera Raw 6.7 gets released and I install it. Is it going to upgrade my PS plug-in only or, perhaps, downgrade my LR4 plug-in at the same time?
REgards,
Andy

I don't have Lightroom 4. And from what I had seen so far in the forum, I don't plan on getting it. But from what I have seen I don't think things are any different than they have been with previous versions. Lightroom 4 has been designed to work with Camera Raw 7, which will be part of Photoshop CS6. I don't have the CS6 Beta, and don't plan on getting it. But apparently ACR 7 is not yet ready for release. When you don't have the current release of Camera Raw my experience has been that Lightroom has always given that warning and provided you with the opportunity to edit a copy which includes the Lightroom adjustments. The reason this has to be done is that when you send a raw image from Lightroom to Photoshop Camera Raw Has to interpret the adjustments. And if you don't have the current version the best thing to choose is to send a copy that includes the Lightroom adjustments.
But there seems to be a problem at this point because Lightroom 4 has been released ahead of Photoshop CS6 and so things are out of sync at the present time.
When I was still using Lightroom 2 and even Lightroom 3 I was using Photoshop CS3. So my option was always to send a copy of the raw image to Photoshop. In those two versions of Lightroom the adjustments carried through and I felt the results were acceptable. Apparently, that isn't the case right now with the new version.
Sending a copy to Photoshop doesn't really cause problems, in my opinion. Even if you don't have to do that, once you have completed your adjustments in Photoshop that image has to be saved as a new image. The adjustments cannot be applied from Photoshop to the original raw image. That has never been the case.
In light of all the problems a lot of people seem to be having, I am steering clear of Lightroom 4, at least for the time being. I still get good results with Lightroom 3.6 and have full support for all my cameras. But it seems to me that it's going to take some coordinated effort from Adobe to get this Lightroom/ACR discrepancy resolved. Good luck to all of you. I'm just having a lot of fun with my Lightroom 3/Photoshop CS5 combination.

Opening Camera Raw - Windows XP

Sorry if this seems a bit too obvious a question!
I installed CS2 about 18 months ago, and never needed to use Camera Raw until now. I spent ages trying to find it on my computer, looking through photoshop, Bridge, Windows Explorer but just couldnt find it. I know I have it because updates are downloaded every so often for it.
Just to check I actually have Camera Raw, I searched in Explorer and it came up with:
- two .zip XML files the computer doesnt recognise and cant open
- An empty file folder
- An updater file (Prefetch)
- The application, Adobe\plug-ins\CS2\file formats\ which I when I click to open the computer says it does not know the file type (.8BI file type).
I've looked to downloading a update/file for it, but I dont see how the ones available will actually patch the programme so that it will work.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to open it?
Thanks for your help :)

Laura,
you'll never launch Camera Raw---Photoshop does (or Bridge), as John just has explained. The latest Camera Raw version you can use with Photoshop CS2 is 3.7. To use any later versions, you'd need to upgrade to Photoshop CS3.
If you have raw files from digital cameras that aren't supported by Camera Raw 3.7 (i. e. cameras that came to market after Camera Raw 3.7 was released) then use the current version of Adobe DNG Converter to convert the raw files into DNG format, then use Camera Raw 3.7 to process the DNG files. Adobe DNG Converter is a little stand-alone program (not a plug-in) that you can download free of charge from Adobe's website.

Pentax K-x calibration with Camera Raw 3.1, and calibration updates

The Pentax K-x will save its raw files in either DNG (Adobe) format, or PEF (Pentax) format. Until Camera Raw 3.1 was released, I had my K-x writing DNG files, since there was no support in Apperture for PEF files. With Camera Raw 3.1, the K-x is now explicitly included, so that I could switch to PEF format.
My initial sense after doing that was that the PEF files were coming in darker than the DNG files had. But when I switched back to DNG, those were darker than I thought they should be, too. Since I had DNG files that had been processed with Camera Raw 3.0, I went back and made new versions, processing those with Camera Raw 3.1. Those, too, were much darker than the same files processed with the earlier raw developer. For examples, this picture is from a K-x DNG master processed with Camera Raw 3.0, while this picture is from the same master, reprocessed with Camera Raw 3.1. I've embedded the histograms shown in the inspector in each. Each of those has no adjustments applied. The JPEG image produced in camera (I shoot Raw+JPEG) is much closer to the brighter 3.0 image than the darker 3.1 image.
I've seen one other report of similar behaviour with K-x images in here, but that took the approach that the solution was to revert to Camera Raw 3.0, for now, at least. I hate to move backward, particularly if it locks me out of any future updates. So, does Apple have a history of recalibrating cameras that they've already released Raw support for? Might this change in a future Camera Raw update, or is this likely to be what they alway render for the K-x?
I can get the new style images looking okay (in fact, they seem to have better noise characteristics) with a good deal of adjustment, but not if I confine my adjustments to the Raw Processing brick. There, Boost and Hue Boost are both maxxed out by default, already. If I add adjustments in the exposure brick, and maybe a few others, I can probably get a general set of adjustments that will work as a default for this camera, but how common is it to have to do that?

Aperture 3 mostly seems to work fine for me, at the moment. There were some issues with importing my iPhoto Library that I've mostly worked out, and some quirks that were fixed by the 3.0.1 update. I'm not saying it's all better, but it's not the doom that one might imagine reading some of the threads here, either.
I only had the trial version of Aperture 2, though. I only got the K-x in late December, and before that, I had no need for raw processing. The software Pentax supplies is UGLY, though, and iPhoto wasn't cutting it, so I tried the Aperture 2 trial and the Lightroom 3 beta. I concluded that I much preferred Aperture to Lightroom, but I wasn't going to buy Aperture 2 when all the speculation was that Aperture 3 was right around the corner, or not coming at all. Since my Aperture 2 trial had run out, it wasn't a hard choice to buy Aperture 3 as soon as it came out. I do find I use the editing brushes more than I imagined I would, and I'm very happy that it now directly supports my camera - I've switched to shooting PEF raw instead of DNG raw.

Camera Raw Support for G12 & S95

The current Camera Raw 6.2 release does not support the Canon G12 or Canon S95. Adobe please add raw support for these two great new cameras.

This is TRUE!! I have recently purchased a G12 and was informed that nothing changed but the addition of the new HD Video - quote, "that is the only difference between the two cameras," end quote.
Obviously the camera stores have been misled as I see that several of us have found out that the Camera Raw 6.2 version released is only good for the G11.
I have already spoken with Technical Support, left messages as well as sent an e-mail to "What's Missing" pull down menu.
Needless to say, if I hear back that an update is not forthcoming soon, I will have to return my camera!
It still amazes me that companies do not talk to each other nor release all updates appropriately.

Fuji X10 & Camera Raw

I know every time a new camera comes out someone asks the same question but anyway:
When will Camera Raw support the newly released Fuji X10?
As we really need saving from having to use Silkypix

<My Opinion>
I feel photography is more akin to art than science, or at least has a foot firmly planted on both sides of that fence.
Since displays and prints can hardly be imagined to emulate the light and color dynamics of true reality, I feel the use of the word "accurate" as describes color is often misleading. I might be willing to support "consistent", but my experience says that accurate color is in practice a red herring, and even consistent color is elusive.
In short, those who try for accurate color often achieve lousy looking color instead. Kind of an "operation was a success but the patient died" kind of thing. It may make them feel good somehow inside to think the RGB numbers are right, but the reality is that the image actually suffers. Then, as Vit points out, sometimes we even find out those golden numbers weren't actually "right" (by today's definition) either. To me it just seems silly.
I'll go so far as to say it seems to me it's virtually a necessity to develop a non-Adobe profile with an artistic eye to get good color and even consistent color. It has been that way for me, in my experience with Camera Raw and the equipment I've used.
In that vein, if a DNG can contain data provided by a camera maker that produces color that's consistent with the color they produce in the camera or in their own converter software (which is what sold us on that particular brand/model), then it would likely be a Good Thing not to have an Adobe-developed profile involved. Perhaps this is the missing link I've been needing. If that's the case, more power to Adobe's efforts to get manufacturers to use DNG!
I really don't wish to step on the toes of folks who feel Adobe's profiles are good. More power to you if you do! I just haven't found much joy in them myself.
</My Opinion>
