Camera Raw and DNG Converter for PSE10 and PS CS5.5

I recently bought a Nikon D5200. I have Photoshop CS5.5 at home and PS Elements 10 at work. I had to download a DNG coverter in order to open my RAW files (NEF). I have 2 questions: 1) Which are the latest updates that will work with each of these programs (the listings on the Adobe Download pages are confusing) and 2) Do any of these updates allow a new NEF file to be opened directly without the extra step of DNG conversion? Bit of a pain.

Latest DNG converter can be downloaded from following link:

Is camera raw 7.1 available for PSE10?

is there an update for raw 7.1 in elements 10 or do i need to purchase elements 11
Message title was edited by: Brett N

You need to upgrade to PSE11 or use the DNG converter 7.1 which is free from Adobe. However you won’t gain access to the new sliders in PSE10, even using DNG. It will simply allow files from a new camera model to be processed in PSE10 if that is the issue.

Ist camera raw und DNG-Converter die selbe Software (z. B. Version 8.3)?

Handelt es sich bei dem DNG-Converter automatisch auch um die camera raw?
Und wie kann ich die Version 8.3 updaten (Windows Vista und PSE 12)?

Ich fange mal von hinten an.
Hast Du LR aus der CC?
- Alle Photoshop Produkte sind lokal, also kein CC.
Wie hast Du das CR-Plugin installiert?
- Ich habe mir die Installationsdatei (DNGConverter_8_7_1.exe) heruntergeladen un dinstalliert.
Welches OS?
- Win 8.1
Was ist das Aktualisierungswerkzeug?
- Da es in der Fehlermeldung von LR angzeigt wurde, habe ich das von LR benutzt.
Inzwischen habe ich auch das Update-Tool von Adobe CS 6 genutzt und nun scheint das Problem behoben zu sein (hatte bei LR 4 und CS 4 nicht geholfen). Zumindest konnte ich es nicht mehr reproduzieren.
Danke erst mal für deine Hilfe. Ich schreibe wieder, falls das Problem erneut auftritt.

Camera Raw reduces DNG file size

I have raw file(CR2) size at 13.6 mb straight out of my Canon 7D. When I convert them in Adobe dng converter 5.7 I get 21.7 mb. When opening in Photoshop CS3 with Camera Raw 4.4.1 I get image size as W:3888 pixels by H:2592 pixels. I dont understand at which point the file size reduction takes place, as its supposed to be larger than that providing it was 13.6mb original file size. ( There is no compression option in camera raw or dng converter).

There is a hyperlink at the bottom of the Camera Raw interface that allows you to change some of the settings. One of the changes is to make the image smaller, the image that is sent to Photoshop. Is it possible that you have a setting chosen that reduces the size? Additionally, DNG files are usually a little smaller. Are you embedding the raw file in your DNG file? The DNG converter does not change the size of the image. It simply takes the raw image data and puts it in a new container DNG file.

Hmmm... I got the DNG Converter and ACR from the page I listed.
If you go to the DNG page at http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and click on Downloads (in the light gray box on the upper right) for Mac or Windows (I'll use the Windows example here because I'm on a PC right now, but it also worked from my Mac) you will go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3894 and then you have to click on Proceed to download and it should say filename DNG_Camera)Raw_4_4.zip and be 5.4 meg in size (If you follow the Macintosh link the filename is DNG_Camera_Raw_4_4.dmg and is 12.5MB).
However, if you go to the Camera Raw page at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html and click on the download links under the main gray box you will only get the Camera Raw file (filename is Camera_Raw_4_4.zip at 3.3MB or Camera_Raw_4_4.DMG at 7.8MB).
Both download places list the Product name as Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter. But the filenames are different and indicate which one you are downloading.

Camera RAW and DNG version 8.2

I have a Canon 70D. How do I find out what version of camera raw and dng that I have installed?

Unfortunately, photoshop elements 11 can only use up to camera raw 7.4 for the camera raw plugin.
(in the photoshop elements 11 editor; Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw to find the version you have)
(Help>Updates in the pse 11 editor to check for updates)
You can use the DNG converter 8.6 to convert your canon 70d files to dng copies, which pse 11 should then open.
If you have mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard then you would need to use dng converter 8.3
dng converter 8.6:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6
dng converter 8.3:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.3
How to use the dng converter:

You could also upgrade to photoshop elements 12 or look at adobe lightroom 5.6 to avoid using the dng converter

Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons

Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons instead of image previews (Bridge CS5)
What can I do ?

Hi Yammer.
First thanks a lot for taking your time to help me. I am really happy about it!
I will try to answer:
1)
I meant by having the Camera Raw.8bi placed in BOTH "C:\Programmer\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\Plug-Ins" and in C:\Programmer\Fælles filer\Adobe Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" the ACR will be found in two versions - or rather in two places (I know the former shouldn't be, but it solved my preview problem).
2)
YES - I do have tried twice starting the Adobe Bridge holding down the Ctrl-key and ticking the two (the third was greyed out but ticked anyway) and with no help.
3)
I have tried to do the *.8bi search you suggested, and this gives me the following dump - absolutely with a few more entries than yours. Some are like doubled.
Do you think I can just delete these?
Kind regards, Jan

I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file. I cannot open it now.

I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file. I cannot open it now.
I am not sure if this is an issue but Windows does not recognize the .xmp file and give it an icon with the photo's picture. On a related note, when I edited some .nef files and Windows saved it as .dng file, it too, like the .xmp file, Windows does not recognize the .dng file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.
Do I need to download something to create this icon?

PSE didn't save your file as an .xmp file. The .xmp file is not the image--that's still the .nef. The xmp file is what adobe calls a 'sidecar' file, just a record of the settings you used in the raw converter. As long as it's in the same place as the image, when you open the nef in ACR again, it will open where you left off, with the settings you chose.
If you want to save as, you have two choices:
1. Click the Open button in the raw converter window and save in the image format of your choice.
2. Use the Save button in the raw converter to create a separate DNG file, which still must be opened in the raw converter and converted to an image format for use in other programs.

How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into Overexposure

With all the attention I've been paying to profiles lately, I have been opening a lot of images with bright blue colors (hence my recent post on trying to get better blue sky color).
One of the things I've noticed is that the transition into overexposure appears to be handled VERY differently depending on the profile chosen.
Of particular interest is an image I shot recently toward a stage where some bright blue lights were shining on the crowd and into my Canon EOS-40D's lens. I was surprised at how differently the transition into overexposure is made depending on the profile chosen.
Notably not one of the Adobe-supplied profiles handles this transition smoothly at all, showing some sharp transitions - which helps explain why I had been having such trouble with sky color.
Some examples follow (these have all been converted to sRGB for display via browser). Specifically note the area around the bright blue light in the upper-right.

That's awesome!
For "normal" exposure levels it exactly matches the other images converted with the profile you developed before, but the hard edge (e.g., seen when the edges of the image are lightened by Vignetting Correction) is gone. Well done!
I tried it on a number of other images and found that the transition from blue sky to whited-out overexposure was indeed noticeably better, with the sky going to cyan slightly less quicky. For example, I have an evening time exposure with the sky transitioning to overexposure. I converted the image once with Adobe Standard and each of your profiles, and put an extreme Curves adjustment layer over the top to more easily see the transition. Note the color, in particular, of the sky transition into overexposure with the three different conversions, your most recent on the bottom.
You really have gotten your head around how these profiles work with Camera raw, and you do damned good work with that knowledge, Vit!
Let's review the features of this profile:
1. It matches the camera color virtually perfectly, which I for one find an excellent starting point for further Camera Raw adjustments.
2. It handles transition into overexposure IMO as well or better than the camera manufacturer's software and hardware.
3. Since you developed it to match the camera manufacturer's sRGB conversions, and THEY don't think channel clipping is acceptable if the user has chosen to convert to sRGB, it has solved the problem with channel clipping that I had seen with all the Adobe profiles when converting directly to sRGB, and has thus made the action I had been using to do a "bend the edges" conversion unnecessary.
There is nothing not to love here!
Vit, I don't know how much work is involved with making such a profile - clearly you've put some serious time into getting where you are, but would you be interested in partnering with me and selling sets of profiles with characteristics like this one to others who would like to get the best possible Camera Raw or Lightroom conversions? If so, let's talk off the forum via eMail.

Camera RAW and Photoshop won't support RAW photos from my new Panasonic Lumix FZ70

I have a new camera, Panasonic Lumix FZ70. When I try to open RAW images on my compupter or in Photoshop CS5.1, I get a message that says Camera Raw and Photoshop don't support RAW images from this camera. What can I do to fix this? Thank you!

Support is available with ACR 8.2 release which works with PS CS6 and CC.
DNG converter can be downloaded from following link:

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Michelle

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

Camera raw and bridge: no dialogue in cs3

After purchasing the Nikon D300 I had to upgrade from CS2 to CS3 as former versions of photoshop are unable to manage the RAW files (NEF) generated by the new camera.
My problem is that, even having downloaded the 4.3.1 version of Camera Raw and having installed it, there is no dialogue with bridge. I tried to reinstall CS3 as well.
This means:
- I miss the Camera Raw preferences setting (under the edit menu in bridge)
- Always in Bridge I cannot cut and paste (copy and apply) camera raw settings of one photo to others. Neither selecting the edit menu, nor with the mouse's right button.
The point is not that these and similar selections do not work, the point is that they do not even appear in the menus. The help resources, for instance, tell about a Edit > Develop Settings function that is not present in my menu.
What is wrong? Is it possible that there is any kind of conflict with Nikon capture NX?
I'll be grateful to anyone able to help me,
fm

Hi All,
Been reading this thread with interest.
I am on PC with XP, I have been using CS3 for quite a while now and both my D200 and D300 have all been working perfectly. But over the last few months I have noticed that Bridge was (a) very slow to start and (b) would suddenly come up with the "Bridge has encountered a problem and must close" message. Then it got to the stage were Bridge would not open at all and just the "Problem" message would show and then next PS3 then starting displayed the "There has been a cataclysmic Failure" message.
So I have used the original CS3 CD and uninstalled and reinstalled and got both programs working but no Camera Raw. If I click on the NEF file it goes to PS and gets the message wrong file type. All the preferences are set ok.
The other thing that happened was when I downloaded all the updates, Bridge went back to not opening and the "problem" message showing again.
After reading Xoslic message I will try to take out the registry entries and reinstall again and see if that works.
For all of you on Nikon, CS3 was working perfectly for me until just recently, so I know that it does work fine.
Hopefully I will get a soloution and let you know if it works.
Gerry
PS. I also had a problem in that Lightroom 1.4 would not work either, opened ok but "lightroom has encountered a problem" message appeared and it closed down. Other people suggested that the problem lay in "Version Cue"

How do I install the RC updates to my PS CC, camera raw and Lightroom?

How do I install the RC updates to my PS CC, camera raw and Lightroom? I have downloaded the correct versions from the Lab site but I still can't open my Nikon D-610 RAW files. The site says follow on screen instructions but I have not found any. Help please.

Please ensure that for CC you have downloaded ACR 8.3 - CC:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-3-cc.html
Please extract the downloaded .zip file to Desktop and then run .exe file.
After successful installation try opening D610 files, This should work.

Open pictures in Camera RAW and still have paths/clipping paths?

Hello
A big problem in Bridge is that I can not open my pictures in Camera RAW and still have my paths left. I work in a place where we get loads of product photos from many different companies and they almost always have a clipping path in it. Many of the pictures do we have to fix like colour, exposure etc and this is here Bridge comes in as the best solution to batchfix them. But now I have to take the long way through Photoshop. Is there a solution for this?, an update from Adobe or a script or something.
Have a nice day!

You do know that you can deconfigure Camera Raw from opening TIFFs and JPEGs, right?
These are the settings I've chosen. Done this way, JPEGs and TIFFs just open right into Photoshop, and their clipping paths would be intact.
