Camera Raw and NIK Plug-in

I have a problem with NIK-Plug-in and Camera Raw / Photoshop CC / Bridge CC. After installation of the latest version of NIK-Plug-in I lost the lens profiles in ACR if going directly from Bridge CC to Photoshop CC with NEF-Files. If using the Bridge CC ACR the problem does not occur.
Is this a known problem ? What is the solution ?

The Nik Selective Tool causes issues so needs to be disabled.

Using Smart Filters to keep Camera Raw and filter plug-ins access

I am wondering if what I am trying to do is reasonable and possible.
I know I have seen some workarounds where you can open a RAW file directly in Camera RAW,copy a background, make it a smartfilter, and do your editing and then I guess you can go back and still access your Camera RAW settings which definitely has value. This kind of is outside my normal workflow as I normally start with Lightroom and that won't work I don't think from Lightroom (unless perhaps if I send it to PS "without LR adjustments?". Now of course you always have access to the original file and starting settings in lightroom, but once you layer PS edits and layers on top of that, you really can't go back. I'd be willing to start from within Photoshop if somehow this would work.
And, I regularly use smartfilters when I use my NIK filters in PS.
What I ran into today was a situation where it would have been VERY nice to be able to go back to my camera RAW starting develop settings before I went down a long path of Colorefex and Silverefec filters. Well, at the end, I determined my RAW sharpening was too strong at the beginning of my workflow. So I was able to get back to my filter settings of course, but I could not get back to Camera Raw to adjust that.
So, is there a way to somehow keep your Adobe Camera RAW settings available to access, however while still being able to layer NIK filters also in a smart filter situation? Is this a multiple smartfilter soluton?
Thanks for any input,
BJBBJB1

Jeff,
Thanks, I do have the same version of ACR in LR3 and CS5.x.
I am willing to deal with the larger file sizes. So the question is, how do I do it from either within PS or from Lightroom?
Do I need 2 layers, one for the ACR smartfilter and one for my NIK filters. Can I do it with one?

I can't open three raw files from Adobe Camera Raw to Nik Efex

Something strange is going on that never happened before. I used to be on CS6 but now am on CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw. I used to be able to select three photos in camera raw and then click Tools and then I'd see my Nik Efex plugins and choose which one I wanted. But all I see now is Photoshop under Tools at the bottom as an available option to open the files.
How do I open three files into Nik Efex HDR from Camera Raw? Is there something wrong here or am I just not doing things correctly. It seems I was doing this before and now I can't.

Oh good lord. I can't believe I spent so much time on this and it's right there under Google. Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!

Has anyone encountered this error message with Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in?

Ever since I installed the Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in for Elements 8 I get the following error message when I launch Editor:
"The Application or DLL C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8 \File Formats\Win 64\Camera Raw. 8 bi is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette"
(As I downloaded the plug-in I don't have the option of checking against the installation diskette as the error message suggests.)
If I click OK on the error message the launch process re-commences and Editor eventually opens and operates effectively.
Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might remove this error message? Alternatively, do I run a risk by continuing to simply ignore the error message?
Thanks
Kinyo Jim

Delete the camera raw 8bi file from the File Formats folder.
Download ACR 6.2 and extract the files.
Drag the camera raw 8bi file from the download extract folder into the File formats folder.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\

Why the colors look so different betweet my Camera Raw and Bridge?

We know that after editing images in Camera Raw, thumbnails in Bridge will updated according to the new xmp files.
However, for some of my Raw files, the colors look very different in Bridge after makeing adjustments in Camera Raw, I can see more red in those phoots. But when I reopen the file in Camera Raw, all the colors are just correct.
For those photos without applying xmp files the colors looks exactly the same in Camera Raw and Bridge.
Does this means that my Camera Raw and Bridge use different color space? How can I fix this problem? Thank you

If you want help, you need to specify your platform (Mac or Windows), the exact versions of your Operating System, Photoshop, ACR plug-in and Bridge.
Also look at your Bridge preferences and tell us what you have your Thumbnail preferences set to.
Re-setting your preferences and purging the cache would also help. It could be something as simple as a corrupt cache.
Bridge is Color Managed, but it does not use a color space of its own. It applies the color space with which each image is tagged, it assigns sRGB to untagged files.
When was the last time you calibrated and profiled your monitor?
Details would help.

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

Why does my Photoshop Cs6 not let me view my Nikon D7100 photos in Camera Raw and photoshop when it does my Nikon D700?

Why does my Photoshop CS6 not allow me to download my Nikon D7100 photos into camera raw and photoshop when it does my NIkon d700?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
D700 first supported in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 5.1 (CS6 ships with ACR 7.0)
D7100 first supported in ACR 7.4
You probably just need to update Camera Raw in CS6 via Help > Updates.
Confirm which ACR version you have installed via Help (Win) or Photoshop (Mac) > About Plug-In > Camera Raw.

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:
Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube
You could also upgrade to photoshop elements 12 or look at adobe lightroom 5.6 to avoid using the dng converter

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:

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.

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.

Camera Raw and DNG Converter 4.4 Now Available

Details here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2008/03/lightroom_14_and_camera_raw_44.html
Regards,
Tom

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.
