Camera Raw 6.6 missing functions

I use PSE 10 with Camera Raw 6.6. It appears to be missing functions such as the paint brush and the ability to mask. I've tried downloading it again, but the additional functions did not reappear. Any suggestions?

Masking is only available in conjunction with sharpening under the detail tab. Hold down the alt key whist dragging the making slider to see how sharpening will be applied to edges.
There is no adjustment brush tool available in the Elements version of camera raw. It’s only available in CS6 or Lightroom.

I cannot access the camera raw as a filter function in PS CC.

Am I missing something? I've seen videos where you can change a layer to smart filter and then use camera raw, but I don't have this option available. In addition, while in camera raw I do not have the same features as the videos from Terry White in terms of fixing vertical and horizontal lines. I have the sliders in lens correction but not the icon buttons.

Am I missing something?
Yes. The end of the announcement - CC versions won't be available before June.

Camera RAW 4.0 missing features that were in Beta!

I'm confused!
I've discovered a very important setting missing from the released version of the product.
The Shadows and Highlights check boxes are missing, only Preview is available. With out Highlights, using the Recovery Slider is a guessing game.
Maybe I've just missed something, but I haven't found anyway to make them visible.
Thanks

Ricardo, I'm not certain what you are referring to. Are you asking about the Shadow and hightlight warnings? The on/off buttons for those are now in the uppper left (shadow) and right (hightlight) corners of the histogram.
If you are referring to something else please describe where those are.
Thanks!

Camera Raw Default Tone Curve Function / Coordinates

Hi,
I would like to know where I can find the function / coordinates for the Lightroom / ACR default tone curve that is applied to any image.
I think it's the red one in that image, or it's very very close:
I want to generate a lookup table to match it's effect. For now I plotted something that is very very close but I lack precision at the bottom of my curve.
Cheers,
Thomas

I'm confused - I thought the default was linear. I mean, this is probably not what you want, but here is a curve which makes PV2012's linear tone curve equivalent to PV2010 linear, or at least that's how I call it:

Camera RAW functionality in Photoshop and Elements

I am a Photoshop Elements user (6/Windows) and I was wondering if the Camera RAW plugin had different functionality under Photoshop when compared to Photoshop Elements. In several places over the net I have read references to fixing lens chromatic aberration in Camera RAW, however, I cannot see anything like that when I use ACR with Elements.
So - what am I missing ?
Thanks
Tomas

Jonathan, Jim, Thanks for your input.
>"calibration" panel is missing
FYI Jim the calibration panel is included in PSE 6 once you install ACR 5.1. This is an example of why I asked the question - it's very hard to know what is in and out of the feature list.
>I suppose for the person who identifies themselves as an amateur or as a casual user, Photoshop Elements/ACR probably appears as a reasonable compromise of features.
That is the theory I'm working with. As a hobbyist I'd love to have the full Photoshop but its hard to justify the price.
>I sympathize with your problems. Naturally, it's in the interest of every customer to find maximum functionality at minimum cost; unfortunately, it's in Adobe's interest to make us pay for every drop of useful functionality. ... I'm willing to pay for the functionality that I find useful;
I'm in the same boat. I've paid for PSE upgrades a number of times because I've found the added features useful each time. This year I swapped to LR2 and am extremely happy I made the move, but there are still times when you need a "destructive" editor. This whole line of inquiry is to see if it is worth upgrading my "destructive" editor as well.
From my perspective Adobe have gotten their product/feature mix slightly wrong. As a hobbyist it is hard to justify the additional $1000 (or more) to upgrade from PSE to CS4 as my "destructive" editor. But there are a number of features missing from PSE that it is reasonable for a hobbyist to expect or need. Somehow I don't think this imbalance will ever be resolved to my satisfaction.
Interesting debate!
Thanks,
Matt

I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. Plug-in camera raw is missing

I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. a plug-in camera raw xx is missing. Advice to update does not work. There is no plug-in in the map photoshop plug-ins.

This is expected. CS4 will never be able to open files from a current version of LR and a modern camera.

CS5 Camera Raw Tooltips Missing Shortcuts

The Camera Raw tooltip is missing the shortcut hint. How do I enable this? Thanx

If you're on Windows, this sounds suspiciously like the problem solved in the Photoshop 12.0.3 update.

No Camera Raw Support in Bridge CS3

Hi Folks,
my special Situation is that i first bougth CS3 Web Standard and now months later i installed the additional update for photoshop c3. My old cs2 standard is still installed.
but now, when i use the bridge, i miss all menu entries - supporting camera raw. e.g. for opening JPGs in camera raw. my raw-files will work with camera raw, cause i checked that box in photoshop preferences. there is another checkbox for jpgs, but i didn't want to open JPGs always in Camera RAW.
What to do?

This is a user-to-user forum. If you would like to notify Adobe of the problem you are having, use the information on the following page to contact them:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/
Most of the key factors about this issue have been noted, but I will summarize and add as I am able.
- I am assuming that everyone here is talking about CS3 Bridge, and so the following information has been tailored to the current version.
- In my experience, to have Camera Raw features in Bridge, you must have installed Photoshop, a Creative Suite, or After Effects; installing Bridge with any other program will not include this feature.
- The Camera Raw plug-in (Camera Raw.8bi) should be installed to the common files directory (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats), and all other instances of the plug-in should be removed. Also note that having any other files in this common files directory, including an .EXE file or a .DLL, can prevent the plug-in from loading.
- Verify that Bridge is up-to-date with version 2.1.1.9. In addition to this update, Bridge requires that you have installed the Version Cue 3.1.0 Client update and the Asset Services 3.1.0 update for it to run correctly. All of these updates can be obtained through Adobe Updater (Help->Updates in Photoshop) or on the following page:
http://www.adobe.com/go/updates
- Check that you are running the latest version of Camera Raw. At the time of this writing, it was 4.4.1.
- If you can access it, and you are having problems opening TIFF or JPEG images in Camera Raw, open the Camera Raw preferences (under the Edit menu). Make sure the two options on the bottom are checked ("Always open JPEGs..." and "Always open TIFFs...").
- Try enabling the following options in the Bridge preferences and then restart the application before trying again:
Click Edit--Preferences...
Under the General section, check the "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" option.
Under the Thumbnails section, check the "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files" option.
- Try resetting the Bridge preferences and cache to see if that resolves the issue. To do this, hold down CTRL when you launch Bridge, check all three options in the Reset Settings dialog, then click OK.
- Try Steps 3, 4, and 11 in the following document:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=317912
- Create a new user account on the computer, log out of your current one, log into the new one, and then see if the Camera Raw items in Bridge function correctly there. If you are in an office environment, create a local account that does not log onto the network domain. (You may have to contact your IT department to have rights to create local accounts.)
If you current user account in Windows is a "standard" or "limited" then compare to how it works in an administrator account. If it does not function in an existing admin account, create a new admin account and try it.
I hope this was of some assistance.

How to get Camera Raw 6.7 to work in Bridge CS5?

I've read past posts about the ways to fix this problem, but they don't work for me. I'm using a pc with windows 8.1. I've downloaded and installed Camera Raw 6.7 update and when I select "Help, Update" in Bridge, it says I have the latest updates installed..

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

Can't select 'open in camera raw...' in Bridge

I have CS3 and I just recently updated my camera raw plug-in to 4.2. Updates have allowed me to see my CR2 files (instead of an icon) ; which was a problem before. But now I can't select the 'open in camera raw...' function in Bridge. The function is still listed in my 'file' menu, however it's grayed out and cannot be selected. I'm hoping this has something to do with a setting, or at least an easy fix. Any help or guidance on this would be extremely helpful! Thanks!

Camera Raw 4.2? The current version is 4.6.
If you can't access the Camera Raw command from Bridge with raw files, the odds are you didn't install it correctly...since you don't bother to state your OS, we can't really help you with WHERE to place Camera Raw (and only ONE version of Camera Raw) but you should go back and double check it's in the correct place for your OS.

Opening a Photoshop PSD in Bridge to Camera Raw

I am using a book "THe HDR Book" by Rafael Concepcion. He talks about using Bridge to open a Photoshop image
by right clicking and choosing "Open in Camera Raw"
But when I try this, there is no option to open a Photoshop Image in Camea Raw
Am I missing something ? Would appreciate any help

CS3, camera raw 4.4 & vista: CR2 files

When I try to open CR2 files from Canon 40D I am getting "cannot complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I use windows vista. I have downloaded the latest updates to CS3 and camera raw. I had this problem with CS2, read the forums, downloaded a trial version of CS3, updated everything and it worked fine. So I went ahead and purchased CS3. only to find that I can no longer access my CR2 files. Any suggestions. please?
thanks.

Shane,
The Camera Raw plug-in is updated approximately 4 times each year, and has been updated a number of times since CS3 was released. The latest officially released version is available here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Additionally, there is a beta version of Camera Raw 4.6 available here:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php?title=Camera_Raw_4.6
Both of these versions support your camera. The latest release, which is in beta, works well. I think it is primarily in beta form so that Adobe can get feedback on the newly supported cameras. I have not found any problems with it.
On either one of those referenced webpages there are complete instructions on how to install the new plug-in. It would be senseless to repeat those instructions here. Just be advised that you need to follow those instructions precisely and REPLACE the existing plug-in in order for it to work properly. Do not rename the old version, do not put it in a subfolder, or camera raw will cease to function.
Also, when Camera Raw 4.6 is finally released, that will probably be the last version of Camera Raw that will work with CS3. Photoshop CS4 has been announced, and will probably begin shipping within the next few weeks. The Camera Raw plug-in for the new version of Photoshop will not be compatible with Photoshop CS3.

Where do I install the Camera Raw plug in for Mac?

I'm not sure my question relates to Elements, but here goes:
I recently installed CS4 for Mac and have Elements as well. When opening Adobe Acrobat I keep getting a message from Adobe that it has an update for Camera Raw and I choose to install it. However, I invariably get a message that Camera Raw cannot be found on my computer. Should it have been part of the CS4 installation I made, part of Elements, and now somehow it's not there? I have downloaded the 4.6 Camera Raw update and have the plug in on my desktop, but I'm not sure where I should install it? Whether I should or should not install it? Whether there's a Camera Raw application that missed the installation process?
As you see, I'm pretty much in the dark as to this Camera Raw deal. Any tips from someone out there?

Elements can never, never update ACR automatically the way bridge and PS CS can. You need to download and install the plug-in manually and you need to be sure you have the correct version for PSE. You can find it here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
You don't say which version of PSE you have, but most versions can use a newer plug-in than the list states ( you can use the latest version in PSE 6, for example).
If you have PSE 6 or 8, bridge will autoupdate the plug-in if you go to Help>Updates.

Camera Raw Universal update not working

Hey there .... heeeeelp ....
I've just upgraded to a Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo system, and it seems like the Camera Raw updater is not functioning on this system.
I get no previews with my Canon 400D/XTi on import, which is what this update was supossed to address. I've installed the update several times, looked in the Frameworks to find the plist file and the entry for my camera is indeed in there.... but still no previews on import.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know of a solution?

Hello There
Are you getting unsupported file format instead of the preview? If so try downloading to a folder on the desktop instead of straight into Aperture. Set the "when a camera is connected" preference in Aperture to image capture and then import your images from the folder.
What you describe happened with my 400D particularly when importing a large number of RAW images.
