Camera Raw 7 Speed - Can We Hope for GPU Acceleration?

Photoshop CS6 in general in my environment seems about as fast as CS5 and better in some ways, but Camera Raw 7 is slower than Camera Raw 6.6.  This is not unexpected, given that the process is more sophisticated, but my question is this:
Now that we see that Photoshop in general, with the MPE, is able to use OpenCL on capable GPUs, will we be seeing Camera Raw make use of OpenCL to achieve faster screen updates, and ultimately faster overall conversions in the near future?  In a 7.x update perhaps?
The competition does it.

Back off?  I should heed your expert advice on avoiding confrontation, Jeff?    I have to assume by your unwavering support of Adobe on this issue that you are looking forward to having stylish artifacts like these in your own images.  I guess this will define your new style for 2012.  LOL
All the slack that's going to be cut on this has already been cut.
Hey, I could have just quietly dropped back to 7.0 and just have my own images be superior to those made by those using 7.1, but no - I chose to try to help Adobe by pointing out a problem to them here.
When I reported this problem during the beta, I was clearly ignored.  When I reported it again after the release, I was argued-with.
I don't need to be argued-with nor reasoned-with - Adobe needs to listen to people who know what they're talking about.  People not blindly praising the emperor's new clothes.
I don't need nor expect appreciation, but I had thought I might have earned enough respect around here that Adobe's first response wouldn't be "choose different settings, stupid".
An output image quality problem should be a release show-stopper. Experts like me and Vit telling Adobe that their latest color fringing reduction changes aren't working well enough should be considered seriously. Instead, it's just business as usual: Release whatever's in the pipeline.
Adobe's dropping quality standards are something I find myself wanting less and less to be associated with each passing day.
Just typing this message took me longer than it should have, because of this bogus forum software.
There's a difference between leadership and "too big to fail" thinking.
This is my last post in this thread.  Thanks for your participation.

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • Photoshop cs6 opens some jpg always in camera raw , how can i avoid it?

    Hi
    photoshop opens some jpg files 3 (i have a folder with 60 pics raw and jpg ) and it opens always via camera raw
    i don't know why
    but is there a way to avoid it?
    i mean i want to open these 3 files like other jpg files , directly in photoshop
    thanks
    cheers

    There is a setting that you can change that affects whether Camera Raw is the preferred method for opening JPEGs...
    In Photoshop, go to the Preferences - Camera Raw configuration entry, and look here:
    When set to the middle entry ("Automatically open JPEGs with settings") it will use Camera Raw again by default if you've used it before to open the JPEG.  Personally I prefer the Disable setting.

  • Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01 for Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11

    Check Software Update!
    Canon EOS M
    Canon PowerShot S110
    Nikon D600
    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100
    Canon PowerShot G15

    Those of you who have already imported "unsupported" photos into Aperture (i.e. Nikon D600) photos, simply choose Photos->Reprocess Original after installing this update (and restarting Aperture), and the photo will then show up.
    Aperture Expert has a little summary too:
    http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/10/24/digital-camera-raw-compatibility-u pdate-401-for-aperture-3-a.html

    I cannot fathom why a RAW update is not compatible with all versions of Aperture 3. This is forced redundancy in my opinion. Not happy...
    I understand that this is annoying for you, but it is part of the redesign of MacOS to make it more efficient and not to waste disk space on redundant installations.
    The recent raw update - as I see it - is an update to Mac OS X 10.8.x, not to Aperture. Since Mac OS X Lion Apple has started to migrate the raw support directly to the OS, so they do not need to install the raw support as update to many different applications. I have not checked yet - is this update included in Lion as well? I sincerely hope so.
    Send feedback to Apple that you need this upgraded raw support also available in Snow Leopard.

  • When is Camera Raw 8.7 coming out for Nikon D750

    When is Camera Raw 8.7 coming out for Nikon D750.  I see everyone is having the same problem, we have the camera but can't download to Light room.

    There is a release candidate for Camera Raw 8.7 that includes support for the camera. However, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is expected that support for the camera will be in the next Lightroom update, whenever that is released. But there is no release date because Adobe never announces that kind of information ahead of time. In the meantime, you could use the software that came with the camera to create TIF copies that could then be opened in Lightroom that you have now. Or, you could download the DNG converter 8.7 RC and create DNG copies that you could use now.

  • Camera RAW 5.6 Update - OK for PSE 7.0?

    Is the
    Camera RAW 5.6 update suitable for Elements, specifically say PSE 7.0 onwards?

    Indeed it is different. But it appears to work fine in PSE 8.
    The method I used below is for a manual install of ACR 5.6 for PSE 8 running on 64-bit system.
    If you are running on a 32-bit system and/or are using PSE 7, it will probably be  a bit different.
    1 After unzipping the ACR 5.6 download file, navigate to the
    \Adobe Camera Raw 5.6\extensions\AdobeCameraRaw5.0All-xxxxxxxxxx\Assets” folder (ie, the top folder, not the x64 folder)
    2. Copy the 1003 file to a new folder and rename it “Camera Raw.8bi”
    3. Navigate to the “Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats” folder. Move the Camera Raw.8bi file to another folder for safe keeping.
    4. Move the file you created in step 2 into the folder listed in step 3.
    5. Return to the ACR 5.6 folder and navigate to the \Adobe Camera Raw 5.6\extensions\AdobeCameraRaw5.0All-x64-xxxxxxxxxx\Assets” folder.
    6. Copy the 1003 file to another new folder and rename it “Camera Raw.8bi”
    7. Navigate to the “Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats” folder. If there exists a Camera Raw.8bi file, save/move it as in step 3 above.
    8. Move the file you created in step 6 into the folder listed in step 7.
    When you open a .cr2 file in PSE 8, you will be greeted with a notice stating that you are using a beta version of ACR.
    Nothing like a straight forward install  :-)

  • Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

    Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier?  Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

    Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
    Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
    Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
    The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

  • Please speed up Lightroom using OpenCL/GPU acceleration and/or AVX support!

    Hello,
    for those, who don't look at the feature request site:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_speed_up_lightroom_using_open cl_gup_acceleration_and_or_avx_support
    Hello,
    I enjoy using LR. But there is still one thing that lacks: Performance, especially in the Develop Module and Zooming...
    So please speed up LR using:
    - OpenCL/GPU acceleration. Capture One pro 6 is doing this. If they can do this, Adobe can also!
    - AVX support: Nik Software is using this. Processes got 1,5 to 2,6 times faster than before. So again... if Nik Software is capable of implementing this, Adobe should be able as well!
    So, I am no expert, but from what I have read I think it is possible for Adobe.
    Would appreciate to hear from other people who have more inside knowledge if this is possible for LR!
    Thanks, Adobe for hearing us.
    Christoph

    Hello Keith,
    thanks for the info!
    It well might be that OpenCL causes some problems. On the other side sometimes I don't know how good a forum is to measure the problems.
    Remember when a new LR Release comes out and the forum is flooded mit posts about the problems? If you just read alle the posts in the LR forum you could come to the conclusion that the new LR is completely unuseable. But in reality I never had a problem upgrading to the new LR version...
    I understand your point and it might really by to early to implement this technology in LR.
    But I still hope for the other direction: AVX .
    I just think that we have the hardware possibilities to improve speed and LR should take advantage of this.
    Kind regards,
    Christoph

  • Why can't turn on GPU acceleration

    Just got my new computer built for CS5 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card.
    I set up a test project and checked in the project settings to see if GPU is turned on but the drop down menu "Video Rendering and Playback Renderer: " is greyed out and won't let me change the setting.   
    Am I missing something simple??
    Please help
    Thanks
    Ted

    I finally found the solution. Here is the path to solve this issue :
    The Renderer String Name listed in the GPUSneffer.exe is Quadro FX 3800M.
    By default the card names listed in the cuda_supported_card.txt is Quadro FX 3800.
    Both card names must be listed in the cuda_supported_card.txt. So I added the
    Quadro FX 3800M (dont forget the M) in the list and it fix everything! Now I can select
    the Mercury GPU acceleration and the render line is yellow.
    Recommendation to Adobe:
    Adobe should list by default both card names in the cuda_supported_card.txt. Because
    the mobile version of the quadro FX 3000 is Quadro FX 3800M.
    This may help other users.

  • Premiere CS5 - Graphics cards for GPU acceleration

    Hello everyone
    In the system requirements under "Supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration" are the following graphics cards listed:
         GeForce GTX285
         GeForce GTX470
    why are only these two GeForce Cards supported?
    Why are the other NVIDIA cards like
         GTX460
         GTX480
         GTX560
         GTX570
         GTX580
    not listed?
    What about support of SLI configuration?
    What is better, a 2 x GTX470 configuration or a single GTX580 ?
    Thanks for your responses in advance.
    Regards
    Urs

    The guys at Studio One did some tests and wrote this interesting article:
    http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm
    It seems that the RAM speed (DDR5 v/s DDR3) is more relevant than any other factor...
    The GTX 470 has more cuda cores than a lot of the more expensive cards... go figure?!

  • GTX 750 Ti sufficient for GPU Acceleration in CC 2014?

    Hi all,
    Upgrading from a HD 5870 hopefully - just wanted to know if the GTX 750 Ti with its CUDA technologies would be sufficient for GPU accelerated applications like Pr, Ae, Sg, Ps, Lr and so on? Asking in the Pr forums because that's the application I use the most.
    System specs:
    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
    Core i5 2500K @ 4.3GHz
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
    16GB RipJaws-X 1648MHz
    ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
    OCZ Vertex 4 128GB | WD Green 2TB | WD Green 3TB
    LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray Burner
    OCZ ZS 650W
    NZXT Lexa S
    Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    Not too bothered about gaming performance. I don't want to spend a lot of money and the 750 Ti at around £100 seems a good balance between value for money and performance.
    The 5870 did work fine with OpenCL and Adobe CC 2014 but for various reasons I'd like to upgrade and go back to NVIDIA.
    Thanks all

    I have just completed running the entire PPBM8 script with the GTX 750 Ti, and compared it to the results that I had obtained over two weeks ago with the older GTX 560 card.
    GTX 750 Ti on CC 2014.8.2 (1TB Samsung F3 as project disk):
    GTX 560 on CC 2014.8.1 (1TB Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX as project drive):
    It appears that the first-generation Maxwell (GM107) GPU somehow improved the H.264 rendering/encoding performance compared to the older Fermi (GF114) GPU. The MPEG-2 rendering/encoding performance is practically equal with both of these particular GPUs.
    Verdict? The GTX 750 Ti is the right choice for a PC that's equipped (however less than ideally) with a higher-end i5 without hyperthreading or a quad-core i7 that cannot be overclocked much if at all (and this is assuming that that PC has a sufficiently fast disk subsystem).
    By the way, the GT 740 that was suggested for the OP's system (given the "Green" drives) is not a Maxwell-generation GPU at all - but a Kepler-generation GPU (in this case, based on the GK107) instead. The GT 730 with GDDR5 memory that I recommended as an alternative to the GT 740 DDR3 is based on the GK208 GPU. (And I do not recommend most GT 730s on the market as they are based on an old Fermi-generation GPU - the GF108 that debuted with the GT 430 back in 2010.)

  • Supported GPUs for GPU Acceleration

    Hello,
    I had a quick question about the compatability of some GPUs with Premiere Pro. I'm looking into buying a system with a "nVidia GeForce GTX 760M". This card is not listed under the supported GPUs for acceleration, although it does support both CUDA and OpenCL. So my question is, will I have any problems using this GPU for GPU acceleration? I'm not sure why it wouldn't be supported by Premiere.
    Any help is appriciated.
    Thanks.

    Virtually any nVidia with a minimum of 1Gig of video ram will work... Adobe has limited time to test & certify cards
    For CS6 and earlier (CS5 and CS5.5) read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557
    For CC I think it simply uses the card if the tech specifications are met
