Camera Raw - Can't Apply Same Value Multiple Images

Camera Raw 8.1 opened from within Photoshop.  Windows 7.
If I open a bunch of .cr2 files into Raw and want (for example) all of the Contrast values to be "25" or the Highlights to be "-90", I cannot seem to get images in the selection range other than the first one or two to mirror the same values.  I shift click / control click for a range and then try either typing in the value (number number then enter) or by scrubbing to the value.  Neither works.  I've tried saving out an .xmp Settings file to import to the selection - same non result.
I even tried Synchronize - I tweak the first, select my range and then hit Synchronize and uncheck everything other than (this example) Contrast and Highlights and hit okay ... still nothing.
This has been like this for a while but now I'm working with a very large batch of images that share very similar lighting values so it's driving me nuts to sit here in 2013 and punch in numbers one at a time.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Marc

Two things, you have to be in Grid View, not Filmstrip Selection and not have Menu/Metadata/'Show Metadata for Target Photo Only' checked. I and others have gotten bitten by this, too.

  • Can't apply keyword to multiple images

    Though the help file says you can, when I select multiple photos and then click on a keyword, it only applies the keyword to one of the photos. Same thing if I click the checkmark next to the keyword. It does apply to all selected photos if I drag the images to the keyword, but why doesn't it work when I just click the keyword?
    Thanks

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

    Nope. DNG is backwards compatible John and imho works better in Adobe applications than CR2. Upgrade to PSE 11 or download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.4
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Applying changes to multiple images . . .

    i'm relatively new to macs but i've been using aperture comfortably for the past few months.
    having just returned from a long photography trip and upgrading aperture to 1.5.1, i'm finding that i am unable to apply changes to multiple images like i used to, such as: selecting multiple images to rotate or selecting multiple images to apply the "stamp."
    when i try to "shift-select" multiple images, the change i'm trying to apply affects only the last image clicked-on in the "shift-select" grouping. does that make sense?
    has anyone else encountered this?

  • CS4 Camera Raw: Can't open multiple files ???

    This is a very strange problem. I recently installed CS4 and started using it with RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark II camera. When selecting File -> Open As ->Camera Raw, I can't seem to select more than one raw file from the file dialog. I can open a single raw file no problem, but no matter what I try, either ctrl-A, holding down shift or ctrl does not allow me to open more than one file. With CS3 this worked fine.
    Is there a setting in Preferences to control this (seems very odd even if there is)
    PS: I see that there are two Camera Raw selections available in the file types list: what's the difference between them?
    Thanks

    If they're raw files then just use File->Open, you only need to go the File->Open As route if you want to open JPEG files in Camera Raw without going through Bridge.
    There's no point in listing Camera Raw file formats because every camera produces it's own version anyway, a .CR2 file produced by one camera isn't the same as one produced by another camera which is why the Camera Raw plug-in has to be constantly updated.

  • LR 1.4.1 and Camera Raw 4.4.1 - Same engine?

    I'm using LR and CS2 and can't use camera raw 4.4.1. Are the develop module in LR 1.4.1 and camera raw 4.4.1 the same thing? I use Nikons and NEF files and convert to DNG with Adobe DNG converter 4.1.

    Yes.

  • 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 changes resolution to lower value (CS4, CS5)

    When I open a tiff file that is 300 dpi in Camera Raw, process it some, then open it in Photoshop and save it, the resolution has changed from 300 to 240. Anyone know why this is and how to prevent it?

    Because you've got the Workflow Options set to 240 PPI. See that info link at the bottom of the Camera Raw dlog? Click that and you can change the settings...

  • 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 can't be found

    I keep getting the message that the update 4.5. I double click on the plug in and then it opens PSE and I get the message could not complete this request because PSE does not recognize this type of file. I have PSE 6. Thanks.

    You need to install the plug-in, not try to open it in Photoshop Elements. The instructions are on the download page at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4000
    To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0:
    1. Exit Photoshop Elements
    2. Open My Computer
    3. Double-click Local Disk (C:)
    4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
    Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
    5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 4.
    7. Launch Photoshop Elements.
    Also, please note that there is a newer version (4.6) available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4040.
    Instructions for installing are the same.

  • Aperture 3.5.1 - applying titles to multiple images?

    I've searched all over for this but can find nothing about it.  As above, is there a short and less labour intensive way to apply the same title to multiple images?  I thought Lift / Stamp metadata would do it but there seems to be no option to add either the Caption or Title to the set of data available to lift.
    I know I could use keywords to get the essentials copied over but I try to avoid using a gazillion keywords, expanding the list daily, when the sole thing I want to do is stamp one set of 50 or so images with the same title.  If i used the keyword approach my keyword list would run into hundreds of entries which I simply don't wan't, from the management side if nothing else.
    Copy and paste is an option I suppose but somewhat labour intensive!

    Thanks.  Yah, been messing around and found it.  Didn't realise it was IPTC data so I never hit the drop down to see what was under it.  Dropped one clanger in that I deleted the Copyright Notice from the dropdown as I didn't want to find it stamped it twice as all the images get it on import.  Because I deselected it though, it actually deleted what was there.  Easy enough to fix of course but, IIRC if you select the Lift / Stamp to lift all the keywords, I seem to recall it stamps them again if you inadvertently re-stamp an image you've already done.
    I try to keep this as uncomplicated as possible, could never decide whether to go with title or caption, I guess it matters neither way, unless doing this professionally in which case I guess there are IPTC conventions.

  • Fujifilm raw in ACR 6.6 opening multiple images

    I have a fujifilm hx20 16Mp camera that produces raw images in fuji's .raf format.  The most recent version of Adobe's loader loads these images and they open correctly in Camera Raw at 4308 x 3456 pixels, 240 pp, 15.9 Mpix if I open just one image at a time.  Problem is, when I want to open 3 images for HDR processing, two of the three have a different pixel size in ACR -- 4096 x  3072, 240,12.6 Mpix.  HDR pro quits with a message saying that the images must all be the same size.  If I go back to Bridge and open the images one at a time, they're all the same (correct) size.
    The same results if I open just two at a time.
    System is a Mac Pro, OS 10.7.3, Bridge 4.05.11, ACR 6.6, 10 GB main memory, 3.6 TB disk.
    Seems like a software glitch to me.

    thanks for the reply. However, my workflow requires me to open the Files in PhotoMechanic and then open in Photoshop.  I currently am not going through Bridge first.  This works fine in OS X.  Any fix for Windows?

  • Applying keywords to multiple images

    How do I do this? I can toggle primary only with the keyboard 's', menu or button, but the keywords still only get applied to the primary image, not the selected images.
    Any ideas?
