Camera raw 8.5 preferences workflow

When I would open workflow preferences in the size block...I would have sever options...generally from 1.8mb size up to 21mb. Now I just have one choice...the default. How do I change that back to multiple choices??? many thanks... Greg

Is it possible you're looking in the wrong place? You can now choose any size you want for a Camera Raw conversion. It's very flexible.

Camera Raw Workflow Settings - where?

Hi!
In Bruce Fraser's and Jeff Schewe's "Camera Raw with .. CS3", p 134, a dialogue box Workflow Options is shown. Likewise, Photoshop CS3 Help > Camera Raw > CR Settings > CR Workflow Options promises "You can see and change these Workflow settings at the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog box."
I wonder which dialog box the text is referring to. I can not see the Workflow dialog box at the bottom of the dialog box shown in Bridge > Camera Raw Preferences, nor in Bridge > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings.
All the entrances on the Adobe site only lead me to the same PS Help document.
It would indeed be useful to be able to specify e.g the bit depth as a default, because the PS default seems to be 8 bit (PS > Image > Mode), so I have to remember to set it to 16 for every single image anew.
I use Mac 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro, 2GHz processor, 2GB RAM , PS CS3, ACR 4.5
Thanks for help! Hening.

>Well, the save button is alongside the hyperlink (to it's left) and that opens a fresh panel to allow various options to be set, so I find the explanation advanced by the ACR Team bit hard to understand.
You running a display at 1024 x 768? Because that's Camera Raw's real estate minimum that HAS to be supported...so what you can do in a dialog whose display ends up at a much higher resolution is severely limited because of the minimum requirements. That's why...

Cannot open some tif files in camera raw

When I try to open my scanned tiffs (Coolscan 9000, Silverfast) with camera raw I get this option only with some of those files. With others it is not even greyed out it just isn't there. So far I have not discovered any regularity about this. I does not have to do with file size, because I have this problem with large and with small files. I don't batch scan. I set all the requested preferences in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop and purged the cache several times. Camera Raw must be installed properly because there is a number of tiff files that I can open without a problem. If I try one of those files that won't open from Photoshop instead (via "open as" Raw) I get a "program error". Does anybody have an idea? I have searched the forums but so far I have not found an answer.

Gabriele and Ann,
After some helpful input from Julie Manley at Adobe (in response to my email) and a little trial-and-error on my part, I AM NOW ABLE, FROM WITHIN BRIDGE, TO OPEN ALL MY TIFF AND JPEG (AND .CRW RAW) IMAGES IN ACR 4.1 and, at my choice, with ACR hosted either by Bridge 2.1 or Photoshop CS3. In case it may assist you or others, the steps I took are set out below.
1. Start by clearing/unchecking/turning-OFF all options in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop preferences which in any way relate to using or preferring Camera Raw for opening or editing JPEG, TIFF or RAW files. There are 2 relevant Tabs in Bridge (General (1 checkbox under Behavior) and Thumbnails (1 checkbox under Performance and File Handling)). Camera Raw has 2 relevant checkboxes (under JPEG and TIFF Handling) at the bottom of its single page of preferences. There is one relevant Tab in Photoshop (File Handling - in which you must clear 2 checkboxes under File Compatibility).
2. Close Photoshop and Bridge. Restart Photoshop.
3. Restart Bridge by holding down the CTRL key while double-clicking on its shortcut or the executable file itself. You will be presented with the Reset dialog displaying 3 checkboxes called: Reset preferences to factory settings, Purge entire thumbnail cache, and Reset to default Workspace. Tick all 3 boxes and continue with loading Bridge.
4. On my system, step 3 did not work first time around. So I closed Bridge and repeated step 3. The second time around it did work, and the option "Open in Camera Raw... CTRL + R" was re-enabled in the File Menu of Bridge and in the the right-click menu of the mouse (previously it had been greyed-out). Examination of the Preferences for Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop revealed that the only change in all 3 occured in the Bridge/Preferences/Thumbnails Tab, where the checkbox for "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files" was now ticked/turned-ON.
5. Steps 1 to 4 above resulted in the following functionality on my system:
(a) Selecting a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and pressing CTRL+R opens the file in ACR hosted by Bridge.
(b) Selecting a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and pressing CTRL+O opens the file in ACR hosted by Photoshop.
(c) Right clicking on a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and choosing "Open in Camera Raw" opens the file in ACR hosted by Bridge.
(d) Using the File Menu and choosing "Open in Camera Raw" obviously has the same result as (c).
(e) The best bit: Double-clicking a JPEG or TIFF thumbnail in Bridge opens the file directly in Photoshop.
(f) Double-clicking a RAW thumbnail in Bridge opens the file in ACR hosted by Photoshop.
(g) Shift + double-clicking a RAW thumbnail in Bridge opens the RAW file directly in Photoshop, by-passing ACR, and (as I understand it) by default converting the RAW file to a TIFF "on-the-fly" - although the file keeps the RAW file extension (.CRW or whatever) until you save it from within Photoshop.
6. This functionality suits me just fine, at least at the moment, as I do most of my editing of JPEG and TIFF images in Photoshop rather than ACR because Photoshop offers local editing as opposed to ACR's global-only editing. Interestingly, at least for Gabriele and Ann, something like 90% of my current work-in-progress consists of editing 16-bit TIFF scans of 35mm slides done with the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 using NikonScan software. But every now and then, though I suppose it is really on a regular basis, I like to contrast my Photoshop results with what can be achieved in ACR - particularly with respect to White Balance and the group of Exposure controls, where ACR is really very good.
7. If your emphasis/workflow is based more on using ACR for JPEG and TIFF editing rather than Photoshop, however, and you would prefer to have JPEG and TIFF images open automatically in ACR (hosted by Bridge) upon double-clicking their thumbnails, then that can be achieved easily by adding 1 more entry to the Bridge Preferences. In the General Tab, tick the checkbox for "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge". This is a little misleading because it actually opens all RAW files in ACR (hosted by Bridge), whether or not they have had any previous Camera Raw settings applied to and saved with them.
8. No doubt, in true Photoshop tradition where you can get to a result by many different paths, there are other combinations of preferences in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop regarding JPEG and TIFF file handling which produce the same or similar functionality to that set out in 5(a) to 5(g) above, but I have not stumbled upon, and am not in the least interested in looking for, them. What I now have finally works. Yipee!

Camera Raw cannot open jpegs from Bridge (CS5 trial)

Have you updated Photoshop to version 12.0.4 and the Camera Raw plug-in to version 6.6?
Have you set your Camera Raw and Bridge preferences to use Camera Raw for JPEGs?

8bit or 16bit in Camera Raw

When I open a Raw image from Adobe Bridge into Camera Raw, I see the Workflow options....that blue line of writing at bottom...now show 16bit where my previous raw images was 8bit. Should I change it in Workflow Options to 16bit ? I also understand that if I keep it in 16bit and open in Photoshop CS6 then I have to change it back to 8bit. What should the settings thus be in Camera Raw, 8 or 16bit? Thanx

I also understand that if I keep it in 16bit and open in Photoshop CS6 then I have to change it back to 8bit.
8bit is usually necessary just for the ultimate output.
I would recommend keeping the 16bit layered file and saving jpgs, pngs, whatever off of that.
Depending on your workflow and habits the advantage of working in 16bit my be negligible, but especially when extreme (combinations of) Adjustment( Layer)s are used 8bit images may develope problems like banding much more easily.

How to change preference setting in Photoshop CC 2014 to not automatically lauch Adobe Camera Raw when opening Nikon raw .NEF file

When I launch Photoshop CC 2014 and then open a .nef raw file it launches Adobe Camera Raw and I click Open Image, then I "Convert to Smart Object" then launch Filter > Camera Raw Filter. Is there a preference somewhere for raw files that just bring you right into Adobe Photoshop without stopping at Camera Raw first? Thanks!

Gene,
Ah! Okay, makes sense now. I just learned tonight that some features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter. One being Lens Profile Correction. So it makes sense to have have Camera Raw open right off the bat to make some tweaks first then continue on. I found the below on the Adobe website. Thank you so much!!
Note: The following features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter (that are normally available in Camera Raw), primarily because they don’t make sense in the filter context: Workflow options and preferences, crop and straighten tools, rotation tools (rotate left/right buttons), snapshots, camera and lens profile corrections.

Preference for Processing RAW in LR or PS Camera Raw

I'm not finding this setting anywhere, and it seems to arbitrarily go back and forth, after updating software or installing software. Hoping someone can help.
When using an external editor (PS CS5) to edit photos from Lightroom 3, there is an inital preference to select whether to use ACR in PS to process the raw file, or to use LR. I always want to do this in PS. There's often times where I'm compositing multiple photos. I only need to open up that raw file to quickly grab a section of it to move into another file. I don't want to save the raw file as a psd, tif or whatever, just select, copy and move that section of the file and then close it.
The problem is that preference setting is only when you first set up the Lightroom, I'm not seeing it anywhere on any of the preference menus. And for some reason, it has switched to processing the raw in Lightroom. So now i'm ending up with useless psd files. That takes up space on my hard drive, takes longer to archive on to external hard drives, and is slower to open the files into PS. It may seem like a small inconvenience, but when shooting 1000s, or 10000s of images a week it adds up quickly. And to get rid of them, i have to reveal in finder, then delete, then remove from catalog in LR - which just wastes time.
Am i missing something? If anyone knows how to set this or a workaround i'd love to hear it.
Sys specs, if it matters
Mac Pro, dual quad-core, 16gb ram, GeFOrce 8800 GT 512mb graphics card
OS X Snow Leopard
LR 3.6
5d Mk II CR2 files
PS CS5 (12.0.4) and also the newest prerelease (can't disclose much on this)
LR and PS are both great in their own right, and do things better than the other in some situations, I wish Adobe would make them play nicer together.

Re: Preference for Processing RAW in LR or PS Camera Raw
In any event even if you choose to edit the original in PS, as I believe you should be able to do you will still end up with a Tiff, PSD or jpeg file when you have finished your work in PS. Then why are you using Lightroom? This will have a bearing on the advice you will get.
Like I said above, LR and PS both serve specific functions, and yes they do overlap in some areas, and I yes do use both in my workflow. PS isn't a cataloging program. LR doens't have layers and sucks at complex editing tasks. There's 2 reasons i use both, amoung many many others.
The point of my question is that i don't want LR creating and saving PSD files on my hard drive when i don't need a PSD of that specific photo. You use to be able to make LR open a raw file in PS and use ACR to processs it. That meant you could close the raw file in Photoshop, and nowhere along the way was a PSD file, or any other file saved.

Setting Preferences in Camera RAW?

Can you tell me where to set this preference in Camera RAW, please? This note is from the Lightroom 4 ReadMe. Sory for being stupid, but I can't seem to fine prefs for "Camera RAW."
Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightroom‟s develop module.
Thanks,
ken

I have the same workflow, but I don't do anything! I don't use xmp sidecars, and LR simply transfers the raw file with whatever develop settings it has in its catalog to CS5, CS6 or Elements11. I just use whatever default settings the programs have for this, and my develop settings get transferred just fine.

Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it. I had to download ACR7 and install it.
After the successful install of ACR7.3, I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe PS C6 13.0.4 x64
I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help. It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
Where do I go from here?

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?

Camera Raw Preferences greyed out in Bridge 4.05.11

I have recently downloaded an update for Adobe Camera Raw / PS CS5 via automatic updates and now I cannot open raw files via Adobe Bridge (V4.05.011). When I double click the NEF file In Bridge it tries to open in PS but I get "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge is grayed out and Camera Raw plug-in does not appear in PS Help/About Plug-ins.
I have checked that Camera Raw Plug In is still in the program files: common files>adobe>plug-ins>cs5>file formats.
I have tried updating via the Updates in both Adobe Bridge and PS CS5 and it tells me there are no updates.
I am using Windows XP 32 bit, PS CS5 V12.0.4
I have been trying to fix this problem for days and would really appreciate some help.

Bridge: Apply all CS3 updates in order, bottom to top.
Photoshop Version CS3 (not CS3 International), Start from the bottom with Buffering Extensions, 10.0.1 update, and you can go all the way to Adobe Camera Raw 4.6
If you have a camera models beyond what's supported in 4.6 and your OSX is 10.7 or later, download the 8.7.1 DNG converter.

Bridge and Camera RAW preferences not working

I'm setting up a new Macbook Pro, late 2013 15", 10.9.2
CS6 Production Premium, Also have Indesign CS6, LR5, Acrobat Pro 11. Camera RAW is version 8.4. Everything is up to date.
Bridge and Camera RAW preferences are not working correctly. Bridge prefs related to Bridge display, e.g. color theme, text beneath thumbnails, favorite locations, etc.. all work fine. Bridge prefs open and close fine with no errors. "Double Click Edits Camera RAW Settings in Bridge" does not take. Photoshop launches to open Camera RAW regardless of whether this is checked or not. Camera RAW preferences will not open. Selecting "Camera RAW Preferences" from Bridge does nothing. Camera RAW seems to work fine hosted by Photoshop.
I tried a new user with the same results.
What's up with this? Anyone else seeing this? Solution?

"Camera Raw Preferences..." / "Open in Camera Raw" broken (using Bridge 2.1.1.9)

I'm having some trouble getting Bridge to see my Camera Raw plugin -- oddly enough, I can double-click on a raw file and it'll open in
ACR via Photoshop, but it won't load in
ACR on its own. On top of that, Bridge isn't showing me the thumbnails for any of my raw images (though it will show thumbnails for JPEGs) and both the "Camera Raw Preferences" and "Open in Camera Raw" menu items are grayed out:
For what it's worth, I'm running Adobe Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on a MacBookPro running Leopard 10.5.2. Here's what I've tried so far:
I've read over the entire "
++ Debugging ACR Installation Problems ++" thread and I've done my best to precisely follow the directions there...
As mentioned in that thread, I've installed "Camera Raw.plugin" to Macintosh HD:Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats/ (and I've also searched my hard drive to confirm that this instance of "Camera Raw.plugin" is the only one on the drive) :
(If you click on the screenshot, you'll see a larger version.)
I've also checked Photoshop's About Plug-in menu and I've confirmed that "Camera Raw" appears exactly once:
After clicking on "Camera Raw" from the plug-in menu, I can confirm that it's version 4.4.1:
I've also run "Tools->Cache->Purge Cache" for various folders that have raw images and, along with that, I've tried manually deleting the Users/[Username]/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge folder.
Just for good measure, I've also tried starting up Bridge while holding down the Option key and then choosing the option to delete all the prefs from the dialog box that comes up.
Any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

I started experiencing this same problem three days ago when I installed ACR 4.5. I have been through the forums, trying anything and everything that has worked for other users. Finally, I hit on one crazy possibility.....and it worked.
ACR was working fine in Photoshop, but suddenly in Bridge it would not display thumbnails for my CR2 images or allow me to open them in Camera Raw.
So what fixed it for me? Remember, I had tried everything mentioned in all the posts and none of it fixed it. But one user pointed out that they only had "Camera Raw" show once in Photoshop's "About Plug-In" menu. I had noticed I had it appearing four times, once for 4.5 and once for each of the three previous versions! Working on a hunch, I went to the folder where CameraRaw.8bi exists and found that I had a "save" folder there as well. The save folder contained the three prior versions. I moved the save folder outside of this location -- AND ACR WORKS AGAIN IN BRIDGE!!!
So now I'm left to wonder only one thing -- did this work okay until I added 4.5, or did I somehow create the save folder (and add previous versions of ACR) in my sleep when I installed 4.5? In the end, I'm just happy that it works again.
I hope this helps a few others of you out there!

No Camera Raw preferences in Bridge.

I checked everywhere and it seems the only place to find Camera raw preferences is in Edit > camera raw preferences (i am running windows). When i check the only preferences there is general preferences. I have updated all my Adobe applications and did not fix it. Does any one else have this problem and is there anyway to fix it?

I have the problem, I've been unable so far to find a solution. Yesterday I Posted a thread on that in both this forum and DPreview's forum....no solution so far.
