Camera RAW 5.6 - The missing manual
OK - so maybe this is a dumb question, but is there anywhere I can download a self-contained manual that explains how to use Camera RAW (5.6)? Perhaps there is information buried somewhere in an Adobe-produced manual, but after a number of Internet searches, I've come up short. Could not find anything on Adobe's site - I must be missing something!
Thanks
Well, to be fair there really aren't multiple "steps" in Camera Raw to undo. The entire set of controls is evaluated at once to produce the image you see, and there's not a multi-level control change undo capability. If you've changed 3 or 4 controls, then want to revert the last two, I think you pretty much have to adjust them again or just start over.
If you really DO want to start over, you can choose Image Settings from the fly out menu and that will set all the controls back to the settings from the last conversion. If this is the first time you've converted a particular file, you can revert the settings by choosing Camera Raw Defaults instead.
Now, if you're doing things like using the Adjustment Brush, I believe you can make the "pins" visible and delete individual ones. I don't do much spot editing in Camera Raw myself, as I prefer to do it in Photoshop proper (where there really is multiple level undo).

Photoshop Elements 4: The Missing Manual
We having been using Photoshop Elements 2. For Christmas my daughter and I got my wife a Wacom Tablet. On one of the disks that came with the tablet was Elements 4. Very nice. So I figured I would get Barbara Brundage's Missing Manual book, but the book is now out of print and because Elements 5 is out, the publisher will not be reprinting. So congratulations to Barbara for writing a very popular book. (By the way, the missing manual for elements 3 is still available). So my question is, does anyone know where I can get a copy of said book. At this point used is fine.
My local bookstore tried to order it and they couldn't because all of their suppliers listed it as out of print, and they have ordered many books for me successfully in the past. Three stores on the web who were out of it informed me via email that they wouldn't be getting any more copies. See this reply as an example:
> Unfortunately, the book in question is out of stock at the
> publisher's warehouse and has been for several months. It'll not
> be reprinted as the Elements 5 book is out / released. In other
> words, the Elements 4 Missing Manual book is, essentially,
> "Out of Print" or very near it.
> We will not be getting more copies in stock. I apologize.
I am unwilling to put in an order to Amazon unless I can get a firm date of shipping, also, and I quote "if you still prefer to use a credit card, we recommend that you enter your full account number". I do not give my bank account number out if I can help it.
When I tried to order the book from one of their affiliates who listed the book as in stock, I got this message: "*** We're sorry. The quantity you requested is no longer available. The number to the right is the maximum quantity currently available. ***" That number was zero.
I think you might get in touch with your publisher and find out just what is the status on this book. I could find out nothing on the publishes web site. I could find no way of determining if the book was available before I put in an order there, and I don't like ordering blind either by phone or over the web.
The fact is, as far as I can tell, and I have spent 4 hours on this, is no one has your book in stock, except maybe the publisher, but they're not telling. Amazon lists the book, but they don't have it in stock. They are promising to ship it in 4 to 6 weeks. That means, according to them, they will have it if the publisher sends it to them. Normally that means they will ship it, but not in all cases. Listen, I run a store and many times we only find out from a publisher that the book is out of print when we make an order for the book and they don't include it in the received order but list it as out of print on the invoice. That is how publishers work.
Sorry, I really wanted to buy your book. -
ACR 5.6 won't install (XP) ?get camera raw.8bi file to install manually
ACR 5.6 won't install on my XP 32-bit using the .exe installer.
Is there an option to get the camera raw.8bi file to install manually somnewhere? Have the Canon 7D and would like to be able to use the Adobe converter.To accomplish a manual install on Windows you can copy and rename the file:
your-unzip-location-for-ACR56RC1\extensions\AdobeCameraRaw5.0All-121109114152\Assets\1003
to camera raw.8bi and put it in the directory previously mentioned. The clue this is the right file is that it is about the right size as the existing Camera RAW.8bi but slightly larger.
What you can't install by this procedure are all the camera-specific profiles for newly supported cameras in this version. You would probably need to install the LR 2.6 RC or maybe the DNG Converter 5.6 RC to get those. For your 7D these would be the ones beyond the Beta that ACR 5.5 had. -
I am trying to softproof an image using a CMYK .icc file. I sent an image from LR 5 to PS CC 2014, opened the Camera Raw FIlter, but the hyperlink to access workflow is not showing up in the CR dialogue box... Any ideas why this might be?

Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page
Hallo,
I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
$rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
$totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
$rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
$totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
?>
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Kind regards, Ans HekermanI can manually type in double brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
Dreamweaver itself made this code:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
So maybe everybode was right!!!
But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum. -
According to The Missing Manual, Version 10.6.8 of the Mac OSX Snow Leopard system should have a password generating utility, called the "Password Assistant," which actually generates passwords for you. I've been unable to find this miraculous utility on my Mac, and seek enlightenment from the learned readers of this community. Anyone out there have some light to shine on my dark corner?
I think the "Password Assistant" they are specifically referring to comes up when creating or changing an Account's password. For example, go into your System Preferences Accounts. Select an Account. Click the Change Password... The sheet that drops down has a little key in a box. Click that. And a window with the title "Password Assistant" is displayed.
Example: Using Apple’s Password Assistant
Note, the Password Assistant can also be brought up from Keychain Access's New Password Item... menu. It brings up a sheet with a little key too.
Lastly, a little google searching flushed out a little app which apparently directly uses the built in OS X Password Assistant used by Change Password and Keychain Access. It's called, no surprise, Password Assistant and can be found here. -
When it will be the camera raw update for the nikon d750 in Lightroom 4?
When it will be the camera raw update for the nikon d750 in Lightroom 4?
Never. You'll need to upgrade to Lr 5.7, or convert your D750 files to DNG for Lr 4 to use.
As a site search would amply have indicated.

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?
While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras. -
I have Photoshop 13.01 64x installed; also I have installed Camera Raw 8.4.0.199. Nevertheless I cannot find the Camera Raw Filter in the "Filter" Menu. Pls help me!

Installed the CC updates yesterday. Downloaded pics from my Canon 70D in Camera Raw. Since the updates Bridge no longer recognizes them; advises me to get the latest update, which I have. Both Photoshop CC's recognize the pics, just not Bridge (thanks for having Photoshop now show thumbnails of CR pics). Any Ideas on how to fix?
Thanks for the link Jeff. Couldn't find any links on the Adobe site.
Even with that link though, I was still left puzzled as it didn't give multiple versions, just a 32 bit and 64 bit version.
I tried the 64 bit and it didn't work, so I assumed that was what had already been installed in the update.
Now installed the 32 bit version, and fingers crossed. At least it starts up now!

Is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600?
is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600
Not as yet. ACR 7.2 does have preliminary support for D600. Output may change in final release of D600 support in upcoming ACR 7.3.
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/10/camera-raw-7-2now-available.html
ACR 7.3 will have complete support for D600.
But, if you're on CS5, I'm sorry to break it you cannot upgrade to ACR 7.x...
You may want to consider upgrading to CS6 or Lightroom 4 (cheaper alternative) to get ACR 7.x support.
Or, use the DNG converter, make TIFFs and open them with PS. -

Because you’re using CS6 not CC.

I opened a jpeg in camera raw and don't think it help with this. thanks.It should be there, at least it is on my Canon 400D, but you need a software that knows where to read it.

Book: iPhone - The Missing Manual
It's not out in the book stores yet... But after reading the review on +ipod observer+, I found that you can pre-order it from O'Reilly/Pogue Press for $25 and get the full PDF download immediately [$5 for the PDF and $20 for the book]. Amazon is pre-selling the book for $13 and change, but hey, you don't get to get a head start on it by reading the PDF.
Pretty good book, as all O'Reilly books are. Learning some things I didn't know about, and getting answers to things I've wondered about. I recommend it to anyone looking to learn their way around the iPhone faster [I've had mine a couple days...]
On a side note, I'm scheduled for the Going Further iPhone Workshop at the Apple Store on Saturday. So that will get me moving along, I'm sure. Actually, I'm doing really well with it. I just want to be able to use it to it's full potentialOh, is this supposed to be where I'm supposed to tell you something you don't know? Right. I just recommended a book I'm reading. That's all.
temper temper, Mr. Dre, Mr. NWA, Mr. AK Comin' straight out of Compton,
It was more rhetorical than anything else.
All due respect:

"Watching TV: the Missing Manual"
