Camera Raw adjustments not applying

Hi everyone, Im on a mac using Photoshop CS4, Camera Raw 5.0.
In Camera Raw I made adjustments to about 277 Canon CR2raw files then hit Done, so the adjustments would take place, then In Photoshop I batched the 277 files to Jpg output,and I noticed that the adjustments I made in Camera Raw did not take effectinthe batch process, Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I do this same process in CS3 without issue.

Thomas,
Could you explain in more detail exactly how you are doing the batching? Are you using Image Processor? Are you generating Jpegs directly from within ACR? Are you using Photoshop>Batch from Bridge?
If I remember correctly there are some specific "gotchas" related to using Photoshop>Batch. Jeff talks about this in his book. I think it is related to the "Overide action open" option. One way uses the same recipe for all images in the batch and another way uses each image's recipe. Something like that.
If all you are doing is converting to Jpeg, I strongly recommend using Image Processor or Russell Brown's 1-2-3 Process (Image Processor + a few additional options).

  • Camera Raw adjustments not applying to batch process

    Hey friends,
    On a 2008 iMac running 10.5.7, latest version of Camera Raw & Bridge/Photoshop, I opened 650 Canon 5D raw files in Camera Raw, made adjustments to most of those files, then clicked Done.
    In Bridge Im batch processing all the files to Jpeg, now in Bridges thumbnails I can see all the adjustments I did in Camera Raw were applied, but yet when I batch process them, no adjustments are being applied, any idea what the issue could be?

    Re: Warning serious issue with ACR edits not updating
    How did you record the Photoshop batch action? Make sure the "Image Setting" item is checked in the setting flyout menu when recording any actions that open raw image if you want each image's setting to be used.
    The preview building process in Bridge has nothing to do whatsoever with the saving of image settings.
    Also, if you are using any PhotoKit product, you need to update to the most recent version.

  • Camera raw adjustments not showing in prints

    I received a call from a technician with a professional processor about an issue I am having with prints that are much darker than what I see on my calibrated screen. The technician was wondering why I would send files that looked exactly like the original files. So he decided to open the files in Adobe Camera Raw and discovered that there were a number of changes in Camera Raw, i.e. brightness, exposure, etc. that were not showing up in the prints, or upon initial inspection of the file! I've been dealing with this issue of dark prints for a couple of years now and I don't know what else to do! The adjustments made to exposure or brightness levels are mostly very subtle in nature because I like to get it right in camera as opposed to major adjustments in Photoshop, but the reason I purchased Photoshop to begin with is to have a tool that will help present my vision as opposed to getting in my way!

    When you're able to distinguish between ACR and PS Image Processor,
    kenmb,
    You have no reason and no right to be posting snide comments, as you have failed to give us the most elementary information requested.  Your posts so far have been the antithesis of a model of clarity, so we are still in the dark both as to what you have been doing and as to what the exact nature of your problem is.
    Please take a step back and try to calm down.
    At the risk of being insulted by you once again, I'm going to try once more.  After all, I have a thick skin and can hurl insults back with the best and the worst of them. 
    So far you have written about "Adjustments" that the lab workers can detect in Camera Raw and are not being "reflected" on your prints.  This is indeed the Camera Raw forum so, given the paucity of information received from you so far, we can only assume that you are indeed performing adjustments to your images in ACR.
    You then speak of saving your files through the Image Processor.
    Here's the rub: we are missing one step.  Unless you Open an image in the Camera Raw panel (dialog box) by using the OPEN button in ACR after making your adjustments, the adjustments WILL NOT BE applied to the pixels, they will be just stored only in metadata.  That's what happens when you use the "Done" button in the the Camera Raw panel (dialog box).  That does you no good, especially since your lab will be using a non-Adobe application that cannot read the adjustments embedded in your file.  When you do that and then proceed to use the Image Processor to batch process your files and save them for the lab, you end up with files the pixels of which have not been touched, despite being saved by the Image Processor.
    Let's for a moment forget about batch processing and let's concentrate on what needs to be done to a single individual image:
    First, you need to use ACR to perform your adjustments on the image.  When finished, you need to click on the "Open" button in the ACR panel (dialog box).  <—— THIS is the step that actually applies your adjustments to the pixels.  Then the image will be opened by Photoshop and kept in RAM only until you actually save it in Photoshop, before using the Image Processor on that file.  You now have a saved file to the pixels of which your adjustments have been directly applied.  ONLY THEN can you use the Image Processor on that and other files similarly saved already.
    If you run the Image Processor on files with adjustments embedded in metadata as opposed to adjustments applied to the pixels themselves, only Adobe software such as ACR, Bridge and Photoshop can detect the embedded adjustments, but non-Adobe software (like the one used by your lab to print, e.g a RIP) will not be aware of the existence of the embedded adjustments.  That's why the lab staff can see the adjustments when they use Adobe software (ACR) to view the images.
    It's a combination of the missing step of Opening and Saving the image files in ACR before using the Image Processor and the lab using non-Adobe software that is generating image files with embedded adjustments in metadata which are being ignored by the printing application used by the lab.
    If you disagree with any of the above, I would hope that you take the time to explain exactly what you're doing, rather than resort to throwing tantrums and insulting people who are only trying to help you.

  • Bridge does not show my Camera Raw Adjustments in previews or thumbnails.

    Bridge CS6 on my Mac is not showing my Camera Raw adjustments in a preview pane or thumbnail.
    Here's how it worked until recently:
    I open a .CR2
    I make some adjustments
    I click "Done"
    The thumbnail and the preview show the adjustments I made
    Now, it works like this:
    Open a .CR2
    Make adjustments
    Click "Done"
    The preview and thumbnail don't show all the adjustments. I can't see the results of noise removal, but I can see a drastic change in Exposure
    If I double-click the CR2 file, it opens in Camera Raw, and I see all my adjustments, including noise removal.
    Here's what I've tried, but saw  no difference (I restarted Bridge every time):
    Purge Cache
    Purge Cache for Selection
    Replaced Camera Raw plug-in as described here: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit
         (Doing so made Camera Raw disappear in Bridge, so I restored the original file)
    Reset Preferences
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    All the above fixes were inspired by this thread: Re: Bridge CS6 not showing Camera Raw adjustments
    Why don't I see the noise removal effect in the previews? I am sure I saw it a few weeks ago. I rely on that, to help me sort and cull photos.
    I'm hoping there's a preference toggle that I accidentally changed. It's definitely a puzzle. (Version: Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 5.0.2.4)
    Message was edited by: moonatwork after updating Bridge version. I tried all the above fixes again, after updating Bridge. It actually got worse. I tried replacing the Camera Raw plugin, which failed as before. I then restored the previous plugin, as before, but Bridge now fails to honor the preference, "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and instead always opens Photoshop.

    Thanks, Omke. I tried updating, then applying all the same fixes to the updated version. No change.
    I can attach a screenshot, but I must block out names and faces. All you'll see is my Bridge interface, not the faces in the portraits. Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to transfer PSE11 camera raw adjustments?

    I found a thread where it says it's not possible to open multiple images in PSE-11's Camera Raw.  But I would like to transfer the adjustments I make for one image in camera raw to another image.  Is that possible?
    Thanks,

    You can open multiple camera raw files into pse 11's camera raw (7.4), but i gather from your other post in the camera raw forum
    your wanting to open multiple jpeg files into pse 11's camera raw.
    One way i can think of offhand is to open your first jpeg, then on jpegs that follow use Previous Conversion from the flyout menu in camera raw.
    Hi R_Kelly,
    Very observant.  Yes, I was wanting to open multiple jpeg files into PSE 11's camera raw.  But I also wanted to open multiple raw files in PSE 11's camera raw and didn't know how to do that.
    My problem in not knowing how to open multiple "raw" files in PSE 11's camera raw was that I only knew how to open "any" file in camera raw by opening PSE 11 and then opening the file using FILE > OPEN AS > SELECT FILE TYPE AS CAMERA RAW and then clicking on an image file (jpeg or raw).
    After reading your post, I experimented and discovered that if I select multiple "raw" files in PSE 11's organizer, I can then open all of the selected "raw" files in PSE 11's camera raw by clicking "Photo Editor" in the bottom toolbar.  Then I can indeed apply the same adjustments to multiple raw files at once in camera raw.
    But as you pointed out, I can only open one "jpg" image at a time in camera raw but I can apply the adjustments to multiple jpg images (one at a time) by using the fly out menu's "Previous Conversion".
    This answered all of my questions in applying PSE 11's camera raw adjustments to muliple images (raw and jpg). 
    Too bad there's no way to open multiple jpg images in PSE 11's camera raw.  Out of curiosity, would you happen to know whether it's possible to open multiple jpg images in CS6's camera raw?
    Thanks much for your help,

  • Edits made in earlier Camera Raws are not displaying in CS6 Bridge for PC

    All the painstaking adjustments and croppings I've made over the years to my raw files in earlier versions of Camera Raw do not show up in CS6. It's as though I never did any adjustments.
    But if I open the files in CS6 Camera Raw and make a tiny tweak adjustment for all files (such as +1 in saturation), then the entire set of previous adjustments DOES show up in CS6 Bridge.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 a whole bunch of times and this never corrects!
    Is there any fix for this? Or did I just get a BAD copy of Photoshop CS6 and am stuck, since there doesn't seem to be ANY support from Adobe for this. 
    I am subscribed to CC and this problem does not happen in CC Bridge, but I want to maintain CS6 because I don’t trust Adobe to keep the CC price at something I can afford.
    PLEASE can someone offer a suggestion???

    You have thumbnails set to embedded.  They will not show edits unless you opt for some version of HQ thumbnails, but these take up a lot more room and and slower to build.  Your choice.

  • Camera Raw changes not saving

    Changes done in Camera Raw are not saving to be usable in PS or other programs.
    I am using CS6 with windows 7.
    I accidentally took a heap of photos in jpeg. I edited them in Camera Raw - then save the changes in jpeg format but still no changes showing in PS. I have tried Save As, Done, Open image but the changes are not appearing in my PS

    Penny,
    The button at bottom, "Open Image", doesn't mean "open an image in Camera Raw". It means "open the currently displayed image in a new document in Photoshop".
    "Open Image" will pass the adjusted image that you are viewing, not the file itself, to Photoshop where a new document will open and contain the image. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
    Hold down Shift key to see the button change to "Open Object" which will result in a new Photoshop document being opened containing a Smart Object which encloses an independant duplicate of the file and adjustments which you are currently viewing in Camera Raw. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
    Hold down Option/Alt key to see the button change to "Open Copy" which is like "Open Image" except the adjustments which you are currently making in Camera Raw will only affect the image that is sent to Photoshop and adjustments will not be saved.

  • Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch

    Hey Everyone,
    I hope that someone can help me. I made alot of edits to about 100 images in Camera Raw ( ie (de)saturation, exposure adjustments, color adjustments,etc).
    I wanted  to finish up the images ( sharpening, saving) with an action that i created in Photoshop CS6.
    However, when i run the action in photoshop, none of the adjustments that I made in camera raw are visible. In other words, the saved images that were output of photoshop batch were essentially the images right out of the camera. What am I doing wrong?
    I appreciate your help in advance.
    -Andre

    The Action is very simple and does not make much sense to me.  The open step is not expanded so I can only guess that its and interactive open step inserted into the action using insert menu item and you selected file>open.  Other Since your original question is about RAW files I assume your opening a RAW file that has ACR settings previously set. So ACR should open the RAW file you select with its previously set ACR settings.  If  this is and interactive ACR step you can use Open as Object or Open Image.  Since later on in the action I see select layer "Background" you must be using open image for open object would create a smart object layer not a background layer.  You action then dupe the background layer and sharpens the duped layer select the background flattens and save as jpeg.   The result would be the same without the dupe and flatten.  These are needless steps.
    I also don't fully understand your original title "Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch". Batch actions would normally not have and open step. Photoshop Automate Batch or a Photoshop script like the Image Processor would normally process open document or open files select in the bridge or pointed to in the batch process dialog. If the action has an open step the Batch Dialog has an option that can be used to override open steps. You did not show your bath dialog setting. I have never user that option and don't know exactly that option works. Particularly in this case where you failed to expand the open step.  If it is and Open As Camera RAW all image files in the source location will be open through ACR however JPEG  and Tiff files may not have ACR settings and other image file formats other the raw may cause errors. I do not know how the open step was recorded or how a open as camera raw steps are overridden. I'm sure Open recent and open file would open raw file through ACR and other image files formats would be open Photoshop where JPEG and Tiff file may be set to open through ACR.  Do all image file in you source image location have ACR setting and the file type set to be open via ACR?

    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    You are definitely in the wrong forum for Bridge CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus).
    You probably want to be posting in the Photoshop Forum.

    My preliminary findings suggest possible workaround
    a. Open camera raw in Photoshop 5 or 5.5 and then open edited raw image in Bridge CS6
    or
    b. There is a preferences route to check out.
    Not being a Photoshop user, this is a quick suggestion where you might start looking. This is apparently a known issue.
    The Photoshop users should be able to give you all the details and options you have for workarounds for now.

  • Camera raw is NOT there in photoshop CS 6 update from CS 5

    I have just upgraded from photoshop CS5 to photoshop CS 6 and there is no camera raw plugin in CS 6.  its not there at all.   I can't update it because it isn't there..."could not complete the Camera Raw command because Adobe Camera Raw plugin cannot be found." I have installed the Photoshop CS 6 update 3 times to no avail. Camera raw will not update because there is no plugin to update. I am running Mountain Lion. 10.8.2

    Please try below troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
    If you are using Mac operating system try following steps:
    Give read and write permissions to Application support folders from both the library's
    Then re-install Photoshop CS 6.
    Issue reason, lack of permissions to concern folders from your Library hence Photoshop is not able to access the camera raw or not able to install camera raw successfully.
    above provided steps are the only resolution for this issue.
    Regard's
