Camera Raw 5.5 VS Adobe Lightroom (color correction)

Hi, does somebody know if discarding the advantage of making layers of Photoshop, is the Adobe Lightroom color correction controls superiors to the CameraRaw PS Interface correction controls ??? I mean for color correction purposes is Adobe Lightroom  better tan PS's  camera raw interface ???? because for me both controls seem to be pretty much the same thing,  does anyone know something about it ??
Thank you in advance !

Both Camera Raw (most recent version) and Lightroom (most recent version) share the EXACT same processing pipeline...however, there are subtle differences in usability. For example, ACR 5.6 has a Point Curves Editor...Lightroom doesn't. Lightroom has a powerful capability to control output size and resolution which Camera Raw doesn't have...
Bottom line is they are two horses of a different color but each is capable of performing the same tricks...so use whichever app allows you o accomplish what you need to do in the shortest and easiest process...

  • Installing Camera raw 6.7 RC in lightroom 3

    Can someone tell me how to install this RC version of camera raw in lightroom please? When I run the download it does not offer the option of installing in lightroom. Many thanks.

    Camera RAW is for Photoshop.  Lightroom has the engine built into itself.
    You can download LR 4.1RC to have the closest available compatibility.

    What are you wanting LR to do that you thought the ACR plugin would help with?

  • When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?

    Hello Adobe,
    When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?
    Best regards
    Frank

    There won't be an update for Lightroom 4. The only way you can work with your D750 raw files is to use the free standalone DNG converter to create DNG copies. If you want to be able to work on the NEF files then you will have to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. Everything is part of the Lightroom program. If you want to stay current with Lightroom then you need to follow the update/upgrade path. That means purchasing each new major version of Lightroom or subscribing to the creative cloud plan.

  • RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

  • Adobe Camera Raw  for Nikon - generate JPEG with color off

    Hi,
    I am learning Photoshop and Camera RAW. I am using CS2 and ACR 3.7 on Windows XP.
    I have noticed that the JPEG file generated by CAMERA RAW has the color slightly off (towards the bluish direction).
    This is what I did, I started Adobe Bridge, I opened up the Nikon RAW file (from D200) with Camera RAW and then generated the JPEG file without using any AUTO or custom setting (took the As SHOT setting). After the JPEG file is generated, I compared the JPEG file, with the file on Camera RAW window, the color of the pictures don't match up. So what you see on Camera RAW window is not what you get in JPEG. The color shown in the Camera RAW window is warmer than the JPEG file. I used the Widnows default jpeg viewer and the Arcsoft Editor to look at the JPEG file, and confirmed the color of the JPEG file is off from the original RAW filed viewed Camera RAW widnow.
    However, when I opened that same JPEG file (generated by Camera Raw) in Adobe Photoshop, and the original RAW file (without any modification) in Photoshop, the color of the JPEG file matches up the color of the original RAW file only in Photogroup. I am confused now.
    Why the color of the JPEG file (generated by Camera RAW) looks OK on photoshop, but it is off in other viewers (default Windows viewer or ArcSoft Editor). However, when I used PictureProject (supplied by Nikon) to generate the JPEG file from that same original RAW file (without any modification), and I looked at the JPEG file (generated by PictureProject) on Photoshop, Arcsoft Editor, and default Windows viewer, the color matches up to the original RAW file on all viewers. So the problem only happens to the JPEG file generated by Camera Raw. Any idea?
    Thanks,

    When you saved out the JPEG in Camera Raw, what color space did you save it with?

  • Canon Camera Raw 5.2 solution for Lightroom 1.4.1

    A photographer I work with has Lightroom 1.4.1. He has a Canon 5D Mark II which produces Camera Raw 5.2 files. He cannot view them in his copy of Lightroom. Besides upgrading to version 2 of Lightroom, is there another way such as a plugin to work with? Thanks!

    Yes, use the free DNG converter provided by Adobe. Convert the Canon's CR2 files to the DNG format (there is an option to embed the original CR2 file if wanted although it makes the file bigger) and then Lightroom, and in fact Photoshop will be able to open it. Alternatively, make a copy of the CR2 files and convert these to DNG. It has to be said though, that whilst LR1.4.1 was probably the best and most stable of the version 1 series, LR2.3 (the latest) is a lot better and includes camera profiles which version 1 did not. I think your friend would be a lot happier upgrading in the long run.

  • How to access Camera Raw when invoking CS5 from Lightroom 3?

    When I invoke CS5 from Lightroom, my NEF files seem to load directly without giving me an opportunity to make adjustments in Camera Raw. If I open the same NEF file from windows Explorer, CS5 presents the Camera Raw adjustment page and I can make adjustments before proceeding.
    How can I work around this?
    BTW I know I can make camera raw adjustments in Lightroom and then open in CS5, however for an image that I know I will be using CS5 on anyway, I don't want to do anything at all in LR just go direct to CS5 but I can't do this if this bypasses my ability to make adjustments in camera raw!
    I must be missing something here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    [I'm using Camera Raw 6.1, LR3, CS5 12.0.1 x64; Invoking CS5 from LR3 by right-click on image, Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5]

    That workaround did work for me so thanks for the helpful reply!
    If anyone else has other ways of making this work I'd like to hear about it.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • Camera raw and Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom

    (2.5) If I open a raw image from Windows Explorer or Bridge (which I don't use much), Camera Raw 4.6 opens. It doesn't open if I Edit In Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom, but says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.5 for full compatibility. Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3".
    There are two choices: Render using Lightroom and Open Anyway. If I say the former, it doesn't use the file name, but does something like -2.tif.
    I'm not sure what these two choices actually do.
    Secondly, if things were working properly, would Lightroom actually open the Camera Raw window? If so, is there anything I can do short of upgrading PS to CS4?
    Thanks.

    Just a little history of the profiles being displayed for your camera model. The camera calibration tab only displays the profiles that are specific to your camera and model. The earler profiles were named after the version of ACR that was in use when they were created.
    So.
    ACR 4.2 the first profile created for your camera model when support was introduced.
    ACR 4.4, Adobe created/ updated new profiles for most of the supported camera models with this release of ACR.
    Adobe Standard Beta, updated profile when the Beta of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0 were introduced.
    Adobe Standard, Updated profile for the final release of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0. This then is the latest profile created for your camera model. I think it should be the closest to your camera standard.
    Adobe did not create any other camera matching profiles Vivid, Neutral etc other than for the more popular Nikon and Canon models.  I have an Olympus so I am in the same boat.

  • Does camera raw update when I update Lightroom?

    I had Lightroom 4.3, and just updated to Lightroom 4.4. Does the Camera Raw version (and maybe DNG converter) update to the latest versions when I update Lightroom? Or do I need to update the Camera Raw and DNG Converter manually? How do I find out what versions of those are currently installed?
    Also, does Lightroom 4.4 support the newest Camera Raw version?
    Thanks for any help!

    NO! Lightroom does not have the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin, this plugin is used in Photoshop CS and PS Elements.
    Lightroom has the same raw processing engine built into the program as Adobe Camera Raw. e.g. Lr 4.3 is the equivalent of ACR 7.3 and LR 4.4 is the equivalent of ACR 7.4
    So Lightroom itself is updated independently from ACR.
    Lightroom is a complete stand alone software application and does not require the installation of any other Adobe applications on your computer for it to function. The Develop Module in LR provides the same functions as ACR.
    Adobe Camera Raw is a Plugin for Photoshop.
    The Adobe DNG Converter is also a stand alone product which sole purpose is to convert raw files from supported digital cameras to the DNG format.
    e.g (The latest DNG Converter 8.6 can convert raw files from new camera models not supported by LR 4.4 to the DNG format and enable LR 4.4 to work with those files.)
    Quote "Also, does Lightroom 4.4 support the newest Camera Raw version?"
    No the Latest version of ACR is 8.6 the equivalent is LR 5.6

  • 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.

  • Bizarre bug in Camera Raw 7.3 or Adobe Algorithms??? Grayed out areas of the image

    When converting raw files from Nikon D600 using CR 7.3 parts of the image appear grey and save that way. Converting to TIFF using Adobe DNG Converter didn't help but viewing and saving to TIFF in Preview showed none of the artifacts. Very bizarre and I am really looking forward to an explanation and hopefully a fix! Tried it on two machines now - same problem!!

    The example photo had Defringe values were set too extreme for the picture content.   Here is a lynda.com video that shows how to back things off based on what you see on screen:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMfoLcfn8W8
    Images should initially be opening with zero Amount values for Defringing.  This is how my defaults are:
      If not, then reset your camera raw defaults to the factory defaults:
    After doing this, then if you really want something different than the factory defaults, open a new image, set those values and use the Save New Camera Raw Defaults item just above.

  • CS4 Camera Raw Does Not Open With Lightroom 3

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following equipment:
    iMac OSX 10.7 Lion
    Photoshop CS4
    Lightroom 3.6
    Camera Raw 5.7
    All SW has the latest Patch.
    When I open a Canon CR2 out of PS, the Camera Raw plugin shows up and I can make my settings.
    When I try to right-click from LR, the window does not open. The file is opened but no CR-plugin.
    It used to work on my iMac with SnowLeopard.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you for your time.
    Ole

    ACR should never visibly open going from LR to PS.  This is by design.
    Because your LR and CS/ACR are mismatched versions, LR will have to render to a TIF on the way into PS, so there’s no ACR involved.  If you were using matched versions of LR and PS, either LR2/CS4 or LR3/CS5 (or now LR4/CS6) then ACR is called on the way into PS but without your seeing the user-interface.   The adjustments available in LR3 are “newer” than the adjustments available in CS4/ACR5 so it doesn’t even make sense you’d want to see the sliders in ACR on the way into PS, because they’d be undoing or changing something LR had done unless you mean you want to adjust the intermediate TIF file using the older ACR sliders for some reason.
