Camera Raw Auto Blows Out Images

Hello,
I simply want to apply the auto function for exposure, brightness, contrast, etc, but when I hit auto, it blows the images out. over exposing them. Any help thanks

Auto exposure works in my experience only with an average image without very high contrast and difference in light and dark parts.
IMHO don't use it, put your effort in color management, calibrated displays, tab and arrow keys for adjusting sliders and let your eyes be the judge of the results :-)

Processing several images in a batch action to apply their individual auto camera raw auto setings individualy for each image selected.

Hi,
I have a folder with several images that I want to apply Camera Raw auto settings to all of then according to their individual parameters.
When you open a single file in Camera Raw you can click on the "auto" option to make an start point correction for that image.
I want to select all images in a folder and apply this procedure to every selected file without having to open every file individually and clicking in the auto option.
Can this be done from Bridge CC 6.1.0.116?
Appreciate comments on the viability of this task

Auto Sync is functioning as expected, unless I choose Auto Tone first.
If I choose Auto Tone first, a small portion of the selected images will be updated, but most will not.
Lightroom's handling of auto-tone leaves something to be desired - I have a lot of experience with it, trying to make reliable develop-setting plugins which include auto-toning. Those plugins have a bewildering amount of logic - something like this: initiate auto-toning, check back to see if it has properly settled, issue the auto-toning again if it never seems to be properly settling... - usually it works out after a while, but even sometimes it never does, and generates an error: can't get auto-toning to settle across all photos.
The point of all this is that there are bugs in Lr's handling of auto-toning, as you are growing aware.
Try this:
* do the auto-toning, then let it percolate for a while.
* then visit each photo at 1:1 (to force Lr to finalize settings...), and confirm auto-toning has settled...
Then try auto-syncing that preset (make sure process versions are all the same, and preset does NOT include auto-toning - I would leave process version OUT of your presets).
Better?
I don't expect this is a workflow you'll want to do all the time, but as a test it might help shed some light on the problem.

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 CS3 "Open in Camera Raw" unavailable (grayed out)

I am using Bridge CS3 (2.0.0.975; and Photoshop CS3) under Vista Home Premium. I have two accounts on this system (one administrative "root," and my primary limited user account).
My problem: under my primary account (even if I switch it to administrative), unless I open raw files with ACR, I cannot access "Open in Camera Raw..." under the file menu (as it is grayed out and inaccessible while trying to open jpg files, etc.). However, using the administrative account I can access/use the command. I tried uninstalling CS3, switching my primary to administrative and reinstalling using my primary account, but it still appears grayed out and I still cannot open files using the abbrev "Ctrl+R." Note, I can open jpg files in ACR, but this must be the default for all jpg files not ones that I select to open.
Also, under preferences>Labels, I need to uncheck the "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings" every time Bridge is restarted as it will not save from startup to startup. Any help is appreciated. --Greg

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Camera Raw 4.1 - Open Image in 16 Bit mode

How does one do this? The Help Screen describes altering Camera Raw Workflow Options at the bottom of the Camera Raw Dialog box. I could do this in ACR 3, but my dialogue box in 4.1 has buttons at the bottom for "Save Image", "Open Image", "Cancel" and "Done". I can't see anything that will give me additional options. How do I find them? Any advice will be much appreciated. Terry

Why, when a raw file open in Bridge with a double click opens in camera raw, that same file in bridge the 'open camera raw' option in the file menu is grayed out?

Camera RAW auto tone settings applied to jpegs

I posted this in the Windows Bridge forum, but a camera raw preference controls this so I am also posting here.
On jpeg files without any RAW setting applied, Bridge still applies RAW settings to the thumbnails and the preview are thus display incorrectly. Opening the file shows the jpeg as it should be, without RAW settings applied.
I have RAW preferences set to apply auto settings to RAW files without any current settings.
I have my RAW settings to open jpegs in RAW *only* when they already have settings. If I set this to disable jpeg support, then the RAW settings are not automatically applied to jpegs without existing settings. aka, Bridge redoes the thumbnails without the auto setting.
While it is correct to apply auto tone to RAW files without settings, jpeg files are already "developed/printed" and should not get additional auto develop settings automatically applied.
My Bridge is 4.0.4.2
Raw is 6.3

Camera Raw plugin grayed out?

I'm trying to open my file in Camera Raw, but the option is grayed out and not available. I've tried from both Bridge and PS. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Ironically, I had Camera Raw open earlier, but now it's not working. I've also tried rebooting my system, but that didn't work either.
Thanks!

You are trying to open a PSD file in ACR from Bridge. That will never work. I can guarantee you that it has never worked for you either,.
The only files you can open in Camera Raw directly from the Finder or from Bridge, are raw files, JPEGs and TIFFs without layers.
PSD files can only be opened in ACR if they do not have layers and only through the File > Open menu item within Photoshop, by setting Camera Raw in the pop-up menu at the bottom of said Open dialog box in Photoshop.

Camera Raw is blacked out

Terrific. You ask Adobe for help and they dump you into an empty forum. Great customer service guys. Anyway, my problem is I have just installed CS5 onto a new iMac and the operating fields in Camera Raw, when opened from within Bridge, are blacked out. Someone has suggested I have to reinstall my OS, ie. erase two days of installation work, which is hardly helpful. Better off finding an alternative to Adobe. The frustration is this work is my profession. A professional tool shouldn't throw up this sort of glitch with no customer support.

Many thanks for your response. I have fixed the problem by reinstalling my operating system; thankfully being a Mac it didn't require reinstalling all my applications, or losing any data. I am pretty convinced, having run a few tests on other machines in my office that MacKeeper is the culprit and I have made sure it has been deleted off everyone's machines. I would recommend to everyone with MacKeeper to do the same.

Camera RAW only converts 1 image at a time

Hi, I recently upgraded to CS6 from CS5.5 on Windows, and i recently just did some work in Camera Raw, and I noticed that when I saved the RAWs into JPEG format, it only did one image at a time, instead of the 3 at a time that CS5.5 did. How do i change it so that it's more than 1 at a time, because that saved me so much time when it did more than 1 before. Thanks

Apparently the multi-threaded save is a cloud-only feature, now.
Here is what I see on my Windows 7 64-bit computer saving the same set of miscellaneous images in the two different PS versions using the same version of ACR.
PS-CC-2014 - ACR 8.7.1:
PS-CS6 - ACR 8.7.1:

Using the Camera RAW interface for JPEG images

I realize JPEG's don't have the information level of RAW files, but does the convenience and speed of the RAW interface not make it worth using rather then going to the usual tools like Levels and Hue/Saturation? I discovered that you can open JPEG images in the RAW interface by choosing File > Open As...and selecting "Camera RAW" as the file format. Here you can not only use the RAW interface but also change the image to 16-bits. I also understand that upscaling an image from 8 to 16-bits doesn't add more information, but would working on it in the RAW interface at 16-bits not produce more subtle changes and give you more control over the outcome.
Looking forward to some intelligent feedback.
Deep Woods

From a mathematical perspective, it would seem that using the extra information in the up-sampling interpolation calculations would be better. The question is whether or not the extra digits in the calculation would produce a difference in the image. I suspect that it would be quite image dependent. Easy enough to test, with the right kind of image, whatever that is?

Camera RAW - freezing while editing image and also wont update to new version

I moved from Mac 10.6.8 computer to a new Mac 10.10 computer. When I did, I transfer of all my files through data migration and it moved photoshop and bridge over for me without having to reinstall. Which was good because I do not have the disc anymore. My Adobe version is CS5. The problem I am having is that when I open large amounts of files within camera RAW (like anything over 15), the camera RAW program freezes. I then have to shut it down and reopen it again. I made sure to try other folders and files and it has happened over 6 times in different locations and different files and different amount of files opening. Any ideas? I noticed that maybe I needed to update my Adobe application because of the computer move, but when I went to the help menu and update, it goes through the entire process of updating all Adobe Applications and fails giving an error message only at the end saying, " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
HELP!

"Migrating", transferring or copying applications is not just asking for trouble, it's demanding trouble.
Always install from scratch, from the original media, CD/DVD or download.
