Camera raw 5.6 slider issue

Hello,
I am having a problem with the sliders in ACR. When I drag any slider to make a correction, when I let go if the mouse it pops back to where I started from and acts like it is locked or something. If I try a couple more times, it finally works.
I have never seen this before, and I have been editing thousands of images for years. Any thoughts?

This may not solve your issue, but why on Earth are you running ACR 5.6? Nobody should be running that obsolete version. Update to 5.7 ASAP.

Camera Raw & the Recovery Slider

Hi Folks ....
1st time on the forum. I have recently upgraded to PSCC and I note when I go into Camera Raw that the "Recovery Slider " has disappeared. This however only happens on certain images that` have taken since the upgrade; on images that were shot before the upgrade i still get the Recovery Slider. I am using Camera Raw 8.7.1.
Anyone has similar problems and any ideas how to resolve it.
Thanks
George

PSE 11 has a new 2012 raw engine but you can switch between the old and the new. In the camera raw dialog click on the camera icon. Then change Process to 2010. Then go back to the basic tab.

Camera Raw 7.4 install issue

Using latest version Adobe App Manager, cannot install Camera Raw 7.4. Worse, just attempting the update reverts me to CR 7.0! In Forum, JatinDembla offers the absurd suggestion of uninstalling everything and re-installing everything (is this guy really a staffer? Really?Is his manager out of his mind?) George Widman, <e-mail address removed by Moderator>

Thanks, but am using latest aam: Version 7.0.0.324 (7.0.0.324), very different from the earlier versions.
BTW, the version you suggest appears to be for CS5; I'm on CS6.
Again, the totally crazy thing is that attempting to install the 7.4 makes Camera Raw go backward in time to 7.0, losing superior lens correction!

Camera RAW 4.1 Blur Issue

I updated to the new version of Camera RAW as soon as I learned it was available. I am running Windows Vista Business, and Photoshop Extended. My RAW files are generated by a Canon 20D camera. Right away I noticed that, even with sharpening Amount turned to Zero, I am getting a weird rippling effect in the areas where my images go out of focus. It's almost like the effect you would get with the Glass filter with a small amount of distorion. The areas where the image is in focus, there doesn't seem to be a problem, it's in the transition to blur where I really see the effect. I reverted back to my previous version of Camera RAW and the problem goes away. This effect, whatever it is, is unacceptable, and I certainly hope it is a bug, not a feature. Has anyone else seen this or have a comment?

> "I am getting a weird rippling effect in the areas where my images go out of focus".
I downloaded the TIFF image http://www.eclecticimagery.com/composite.tif
and superimposed the ACR 4.0 and ACR 4.1 versions as separate layers on top of one-another, pixel-aligned. I then spent some time clicking the visibility of the top layer.
Even at 200% and 400%, all I can see it that ACR 4.1 appears to be very slightly sharper, and has slightly less noise.
I can't detect the "weird rippling effect" that the original poster mentioned. I think there was a very slight amount of small-scale posterisation in the ACR 4.1 image, perhaps resulting from a reduction in the amount of "dither" that was present in ACR 4.1 because of the reduced amount of noise.
I converted the ACR 4.1 layer ready for Smart Filters, and applied Noise at 1 (I would have prefered less) and Gaussian Blur at 0.3, to try to get a match between them (Noise below Gaussian Blur). When I toggle between them, the effect is far less, although not exactly the same.
But this does suggest that one way of making ACR 4.1 look like ACR 4.0 is to add a combination of noise & blur!

Camera RAW 4.2 crop issue

Hi everyone !
I am using CS3 with the latest Camera RAW.
After applying a crop to a RAW file, there is no "OK" or "APPLY" button in order to change various setting only on the cropped/final image.
Does anyone know a way to alter settings this way ?(i.e. I'd like to apply a vignette effect on the cropped file)
Thank you.

The only way would be to save the image out as a TIFF file and process the resulting TIFF image back through Camera Raw again.

Digital Camera Raw Compatibility update installation issues.

I have attempted to install the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility update 6.01 but I am being asked over and over to restart my Mac Pro. The app store shows that I still need to install the update.

I was surprised to see it listed.
I don't have a shiny new Leica . Will have to make do with my shiny new RX1R .
(Added:)
I don't follow Medium-Format equipment, but a quick check tells me the Pentax 645D came out in 2010.

Any ideas?

Why can't I see the recovery slider in camera raw of elements?

I have the most recent version of elements, version 11. The camera raw plug-in is up to date, some 7.4 something. On the online help list and tutorials I have seen, there is a recovery slider. Yet, when I tried to practice with raw files in camera raw, the recovery slider was not there. I tried looking around the window, clicking menus, but can't find it. So where is it?

Camera raw issues - RAM problem?

Hi
Im using Photoshop 6 with when using ACR i find that the ability too zoom in and out in camera raw disappears if i apply any noise reduction (ie: luminance amount above 0). When this happens i also get "stuttering" when moving the image around in the window, with the bottom or top section of the image remainingand being replicated above or below while the middle of the moves.
Often i process a RAw image and it opens as a TIFF in photoshop and all seems fine, then if go back to ACR and try and process another RAW i find that the ACR page opens minus the image. In other words the ACR page is visible but the window where the image should be shows PS underneath. The only way to clear this is to close PS and reopen the program and the RAW file. I often get an error message when i try converting a RAW file to a developed tiff that says "not enough RAM".
My PC has 4GB of RAM and in the photoshop preferences (performance) the "ideal range" on my PC is around 900 - 1150MB. Is my PC too dated to run PS & ACR and do you think the issues ive explained are all to do with the limited RAM?
Mark

I am seeing this problem too. I have a similar specd PC to mjones1978 above : core i7 860, ATI Radeon HD4350, 32bit win 7 pro, 4GB RAM (2.96GB usable). I am opening RAW files from Mini Bridge to Camera Raw and I can get 2 sequential images loaded processed and then imported to PS6 as 16 bit saved and closed with no problem. I come to the 3rd RAW file, and as soon as it opens in Camera Raw, there is no working preview. When this happens, even if I just hit 'Open' to open it in PS6, it wont open. I can change the sliders in Camera Raw or clsoe file but nothing else.
The only way I can get around this is to completely close PS6/CR/BR down and re-open again.
I suspect that it may be something to do with memory and I have done a system monitor to see what's going on -
Available
RAM
Memory
1.8GB     - I have a few programes open before PS6
1.65GB   - PS+mini BR open
1.28GB   - PS+MBr+CR open
1.07GB   - PS+MBr+16BIT image file open in PS
1.07GB   - 16 BIT image file closed but PS and MB open
0.74GB   - PS+MBr+CR file open
0.98GB   - File Closed
0.77GB   - PS+MBr+CR file open { CR preview disappears and file is not openable in PS from CR)
Now it would appear that PS6 is hanging onto 1.65GB-0.98GB = 0.67GB of RAM memory that it never coughs up again. which on a 4GB 32 bit system is a sizable chunk.
I have tried playing around with giving PS6 more memory in preferences, purging PS6 cache (there is never anything highlighted to purge other than video cache after a file is closed), and also tried giving CR 10GB of cache disk space.
None of these options work.
For now it just leaves me closing PS6 all the time and then reopening every 2 images which is a bit frustrating.
This happens more suddenly with big (42MB) RAW files, but smaller ones (20MB) create the same problem too, but I maybe get a few more files processed before it does..
Very frustrating. I don't think PS6+CR is optimised for 32 bit windows system, but I don't see why it wont work given I still see 0.74GB of free RAM at the very least. Maybe its Camera Raw that has the issue rather than PS6?

Camera Raw does not read previously saved XMP files (Canon 60D)

Hi,
I want to ask if it is a real problem or just me doing something wrong.
I open RAW files made with Canon 60D (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6), then I do what a do (cropping, exposure changes, sharpen ... etc.), then I click the Done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files along with the RAW files. After this I want to do some more editing, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW does not "remember" what it did just minutes before. I suppose that it is not reading the XMP files that it created.
So is it me or it is some kind of bug?
I don't have this problem when editing RAW files made with Canon 400D.
Thanks for your time!

If I understand correctly the issue is not viewing in Bridge, but rather that ACR doesn't remember the changes.
There is a discussion in the Camera Raw forum about this issue of not always reading the changes after clicking Done in ACR.
But no solution.

Yes, ACR doesn't remember/show the changes I made.
It seems that I have the same problem as the other forum member from the link. I tried to recreate the issue, but this time all went well and ACR displayed the changes I made ...
It is strange because I had the issue numerous times on two different windows PC's ...

What am I losing when I see individual color clipping in Camera Raw?

I hope this is the right place to leave this question as it's probably more about color than a technical question about PS. I have enough knowledge of color theory to be dangerous, as they say.
I am adjusting some landscape images taken in RAW mode with a Nikon D200.
In Camera Raw, as I draw the black slider to the right, I see clipping of blue channel before the image looks adjusted properly for contrast. With the option key down, large blocks of yellow appear before black appears, and I assume that also means the blues are being clipped. The only place I see that clipping is areas of green foliage.
Deep blue skies are not showing clipping and neither are other obvious blues in the images.
When I adjust Camera Raw's black slider to the point where I get full shadow clipping (black shows up with the Option key down), back off slightly, and then look at the image's channels in PS, I see the blue channel is all blocked up.
I understand (or think I understand) that the weak channel carries detail...yet I really can't see any difference in foliage detail whether the blue channel is clipped or not.
I am not clear about what I am doing, and I am also not clear whether this is a result of the rendering of certain greens by my camera. I know from experience that manipulations of yellows in later processing seems to affect foliage colors more than manipulation of greens. Saturation of foliage is affected far more by selecting "yellows" in the saturation adj layer dropdown box than by selecting greens.

Thanks, everyone.
Opening the image in ProPhoto colorspace completely eliminates the blue clipping. When I compare two instances of an image in PS after assigning ProPhoto in ACR for one and Adobe RGB in ACR for the other, I see much more detail in the blue channel of the image in PS.
Yes, then this is a good lesson on gamut clipping and colorspace.
I tried the workaround but it's much easier to just work in a larger colorspace.

Bridge NEF view - selected image altered - Camera Raw issue?

I use a Nikon D700 and CS3 Bridge on a MAC OSX 10.4.11, and when browsing NEF images in Bridge there is an action performed on the image whenever I click on it. I use the settings where a filmstrip is along the bottom and upon selection a larger image appears above. Initially the image appears as I recall exposing it and looks balanced with good saturation, but after selection the image brightens and loses saturation after a few moments. When I open the image in Camera Raw I find that the Brightness is set at +50 and the contrast is set at +25, and the Blacks slider is set at 5. When I reset those parameters to zero I do not recover the look of the image as it was before selection in the bridge window. In order to do that I have to raise the saturation, decrease the brightness and do a fair amount of work to get back to the way the image appeared in Bridge prior to selection. Can anyone tell me what is happening to the image in bridge and how to keep the image from changing after I select it, or at least how to find the settings that have been evidently applied to the image? If I right click on the thumbnail first, I find that the image will open in camera raw without any changes being made in Bridge, so I was able to make jpegs that show the difference between the two images. The first image is as it appears before selcting the thumbnail, and the second is the image in camera raw. If I were to have selected the image normally with a left click in Bridge, the photo as you see it in camera raw would have appeared in bridge and not been recoverable to its earlier state. Can someone help me undertand what is happening here? How can I find out what Bridge or Camera Raw is doing to the images and retain the appearance as it first appears in Bridge? Thank you for your help.

This is a common question.
What you see first in Bridge is actually a JPG which the camera has embedded in the NEF, and uses all the camera's color settings (contrast, saturation, etc.). Once you select the NEF, ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) attempts to render its own preview of the NEF. Because ACR does not understand the camera's color settings, it gives you its default rendering, which usually is somewhat different than the camera's.
In newer versions of ACR (5.x), Adobe has profiles which mimic the camera's presets ('Standard', 'Vivid', etc.) and can be applied automatically in Bridge. Unfortunately, you will need CS4 for this version of ACR (and these profiles have some issues of their own, e.g. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479960?tstart=0). You can also create your own ACR presets to more or less emulate a particular look (I believe you will need CS4 for this as well).
