Camera Raw Color Temperature Issue

Help me verify color temperature issue please.
I shoot with Canon EOS 5D.
I sat white balance mode to K - Manual Kelvin temperature - and set value to 6000K.
So my raw files should have this setting - color temperature 6000K.
Canon ZoomBrowser EX shows me the value - 6000K
Nevertheless I see different reading in Adobe Camera RAW converter (as shot)?
Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw CT=5600K Tint=+3 (! as Shot !)
Why?

Ramon seemed to have the answer in hand, then G Sch above chimed in with some random comment about coordinate systems. Weirdly, Ramon then agreed with G Sch's nonsense and thanked him for it. Suddenly the thread has suffered an ineluctable defenestration.
Is:
- camera maker's control for XXXX Kelvin wrong?
- Adobe's control for XXXX Kelvin wrong?
- the use of the designator "K" in these contexts wrong, as it implies physics reference for the measure while the camera and ACR just do their own thing?
By the logic used in this thread, 1/250sec shutter doesn't have anything to do with a time standard, nor does F4 mean an aperture, it's just a coordinate in a locally defined system, la la la. So why bother to even code it in EXIF? What's the point of providing a control in terms of K if K isn't normalized?
The question was answered at Ramon's first post: ACR doesn't read the 5D white bal metadata. The camera K setting is used for in-camera processing and by Canon utilities. But note that the raw data are white bal agnostic but white bal results are subject to a camera profile which may differ between OEM and ACR, and at which point there is room for discrepancy for interpretation of color. Which one is right? I can't say. It's important to realize the results for a given K setting may differ between OEM and ACR because of this. Contrary to what G Sch writes above, the same K setting ought to give the same results if a "Kelvin" setting is to have real meaning, but the seems to be impracticable if the developers don't agree on the characterization of the gear.

Installer, application manager and camera raw plug in issues

Hi - I need help.
I'm running on Windows 7. I have just upgraded Photoshop to CS5.5 from CS4 (on my laptop not a creative cloud version). I have since uninstalled Photoshop CS4. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 but it would not install and I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I have downloaded the application manager file but cannot install it. I am getting the "installer failed to initilize" message. I've read through the forums on this and cannot find a solution.
I have extracted the file so I am not trying to open a zip file. I have downloaded a second time to a different location and tried installing again while logged into creative cloud but got the same message. I saw the comment about deleting the Adobe/OOBE folder and trying again but was wary about doing this as I don't know what this folder is. Can someone tell me what this is and why I would delete it?
I don't think I had this issue before I uninstalled CS4. I think I had already downloaded a camera raw plug in for that version. So I am wondering if deleting CS4 caused the issue.
I then downloaded CS6 cloud version thinking that perhaps I would get application manager installed correctly within that. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug in and this is now working in CS5.5 but strangely still cannot run the setup.exe for the application manager (So perhaps it is just a problem with Installer?).
Can someone tell me if application manager is just relevant for cloud based products or is it required for desktop versions as well? Could creative cloud be interferring with my desktop version? Where can I find the application manager files? If I uninstall CS6 will I have the same problem with application manager not working in future? I do not really want to use a cloud based version (CS6) and don't want to keep unnecessary programs on my laptop.I signed up to Creative Cloud when both desktop and cloud versions were supported and may not continue when my subscription expires.
To fix this problem without CS6 do I need to reinstall CS5.5? (To do this I will have to reinstall CS4 as it was an upgrade version). Would just reinstalling CS4 fix the problem? Can I just reinstall the application manager part of either of these or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks in advance as I am not super tecchie and am running out of ideas.

Hi
I have Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection but have only installed Photoshop and Bridge ( this includes files associated with that install). Since installing that I have also installed Photoshop 6 (with Bridge etc).
The issue I had in Photoshop 5.5 was I was unable to read files from Canon EOS 5D Mark 2. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 to fix this. I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I downloaded the application manager file (adobe application manager 8) but couldn't install it. I got an "installer failed to initilize" message.
So I downloaded CS6 to see if that would fix the application manager issue. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug 6.7.1 and this is now working in CS5.5. So the initial problem is fixed for now but what I want to know is -
- Is the Application Manager associated with the version or does it stand alone as a separate file?
- If I now uninstall Photoshop 6 will the Application Manager uninstall also, or will it continue to work in 5.5?
- What is the best way to uninstall version 6 - should I do this through Application Manager not Windows Control Panel? I cannot see where to do this.
The Adobe site says to start AAM by :
Choose Help > Updates in a Creative Suite 5 product.
Double-click PDApp.exe in the following locations: Windows 64 bit: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\
If I chose Help in Photoshop 5.5 - the update option is greyed out and not available.
If I follow the second option I get the Creative Cloud Application Manager (version 9) offering me updates for version Photoshop 6 only.
How can I find out if I have a working Application manager for 5.5?
What is the best way to uninstall version 6?
You are right I have found folders / files which need to be cleaned up from CS4 eg: plug ins and a lot of empty folders. What is the best way to clean up these - can I just delete them in Windows Explorer?
Sorry this is long - I am learning as I go

Camera RAW pixel artifact issue

This is something that has been bothering me for a while and I don't understand how other people don't see it.. Mainly due to the fact that you need to be zoomed in about 300% or more on an image to see it. I have only seen Lightroom 3 rendered jpeg files without this problem. I am talking about the absurdly weird artifacts in the pixel makeup when zoomed in on a edited image rendered by Adobe Camera raw 5.6 and lower. It looks like worms have been moving around under all the pixels. It is not a clean and definate pixel noise ratio that you would get from rendering images from their native software for example ViewNX, Capture NX nor Canon's DPP.

1. Do you see the worms in LR/ACR too, in this magnification, or only in the JPEG version?
2. Do you see them in a TIFF as well?
3. If they are not there in TIFF: create a JPEG from the TIFF. I guess LR too has a "preview" option, showing the effect of conversion in the image in the currently displayed magnification. Change the "quality" setting and watch for the effect (you have to wait a bit to see the effect of the change). If I do this in CS3, the worms are there up to quality 8, most of them vanish with 9 and it is clean from 10.
If the worms are visible already during the raw processing, i.e. in LR/ACR, then it is a different issue, probably camera dependent.

Camera Raw Color Distortion?

I'm new to Photoshop. Currently, Im learning Photoshop through Adobe Photoshop CS6 Classroom in a Book. I found out that the camera raw plug-in seems weird.
This is the original photo.
When I opened it in Camera Raw, the color of the photo distorted. ( I didn't do anything on it yet. )
Is it caused by software problems? Or did I accidentally tick something in the Setting/Preferences?
Thanks for every helps.

Thanks Guys,
Conroy's answer solved my problem.
By the way, i found this small icon at the top-right of the photo in Mini-Bridge. What does it mean? It seems to open the photo automatically in ACR.

Camera Raw custom settings issue on 4.5?

I updated to CR 4.5 on my new Mac 17 inch powerbook, and now the custom settings choice uder the basic pull down menu no longer seems to do anything. It used to update from the previous change I had done in the open camera raw window. Now I would need to close the window, reopen and use the previous conversion under the basic pull down menu. It has slowed my workflow dramatically. I can't find anything in preferences. Anybody have any ideas? J.

> A new image will show up initially with camera raw defaults as its setting. making a change will alter to custom settings.
Yes ... ok so far ...
> If you move to custom settings in the basic drop down menu nothing happens.
... again, ok so far ...
> Previously, this would alter the file to the last image settings you had changed.
I don't remember CR ever doing this. Why would CR "assume" anything (other than the defaults) for a new image selected?
> Which will force me to use another program, as the workflow is too slow.
I don't understand how CR's intended method for "assuming" settings from another image (ie , synchronization), is any slower than what you're describing. In fact, if the images were many your method would be slower.
I won't deny what you're seeing as apparent behaviour of CR on your computer, but I fail to understand how what you describe is better than CR's intended behaviour(?) I suppose choosing 'custom' could assume something, and the last edit is as good as any - but even so, doing this one-at-a-time for subsequent images has got to be slower than synchronizing.

DNG / Camera RAW 8.3 issue

Have CS6. Just downloaded Camera Raw update from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
because my CS6E Help > Updates is grayed out & I can't do it from there...
Update lists Sony RX10 RAWs as being recognized.
Download was reported as successful & file was correct size at 154MB.
DNG program opens as separate window from CS6E.
But it sees a folder of RX10 RAWs as empty
with message that RAWs are not recognized.
Any advice on resolving appreciated!
Thanks!

> In the dng converter just point to the folder with the images, not open the folder with the images.
Thanks! That worked!
Was able to convert SonyRAWs to DNG-RAWs.
Am using Windows 7.
Had CS2 on same laptop & couldn't open CS6 Bridge.
(some kind of conflict reported by others as to CS2-CS6)
So tried deleting CS2 & CS6 & reinstalling CS6.
But now am able to update to Camera RAW 8.3 from 7.0.
Still can't open CS6 Bridge, too.
Where do I find AdobeApplicMgr & how to check for updates?
Thanks in advance.

Camer Raw Plug-in Issue

When sending a photo from LR5 to CS5 I get a message saying this version of LR may required the photoshop camera raw plug-in version 8.2 for full compatibility. I don't know what to do?

Photoshop CS5 uses ACR 6.x. You need Photoshop CS6 or later to have Camera Raw rendering compatibility, or render the image as Tiff when doing an Edit In > Photoshop CS5.

Digital camera raw 3.2 issue with Canon 1000d

Hi all,
When I install the digital camera raw 3.2 update, Aperture 3 (3.0.3) gives me the indication to reprocess all master files. After that my images become darker and the colours like red, orange and skin tones become very saturated and strange compared with the previous version.
To solve this problem I revert to the previous version of digital camera raw and everything is ok now.
Follow the tip in the link above. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11148487&#11148487
My English isn’t very good, however my experience could save some troubles and time to other users.

You need to reprocess them in Aperture. Ap3 has a better more advanced raw processor/converter than ap2 It is far superior and the first thing i noticed on ap3. Try on an image you thought was at it's best and could not be improved. I will be surprised if you can not make it better in ap3.
My suggestion is to process them one at a time, before you want to make some image adjustments.

Color temperature issue on MacBook Pro Early 2011

From 10.8.1 I have a problem with my Macbook Pro.
When switching the video card from integrated to discrete, changes the color temperature of the monitor which is more blue.
The 10.8.3 does NOT solve the problem! I have read that the cause could be the Samsung SSD 830.
I have read several post but no one has found a solution!
How do you make it clear to Apple that this problem is widespread and ask for a fix?

I had the same problem - it lasted for about two weeks: I posted here, on the Photoshop forum (because, of course, the discrete card kicks in when you run Photoshop).
A handful of other users posted here and in the Photoshop forum as well. For most - if not all - of us, the problem just vanishes after a couple of weeks. I've no idea why - I only know that it occurs on a variety of models, that it's easily reproduced, and that it just simply 'goes away' after a while.
Give yourself at least two weeks - if you're still having the problem, call back.
There's no magic update or trick that I know of - you can, of course, use gfxCardStatus to use only the integrated card, but that's just a temporary fix until, well, the problem solves itself.

Nikon D7000 LR4 Camera Raw color issues

I just upgraded my camera from a Nikon D70 to a D7000.
Problem: When I process the RAW /NEF files with Adobe Lightroom 4 the color is terrible. By that I mean, the images look dull, dark and have no pop. The coloring is not even close to what is displayed on the Nikon camera screen.
When I use Nikon View NX: The software which is pakaged with the camera produces an image which is, or almost identical to the image on the camera after the photo is taken.
I like the funcionality of lightroom better than ViewNX, so what I have been doing is processing with ViewNX and then exporting to a TIFF. Opening up LR4 and then importing and cataloging. This process is a pain and time consuming.
I also have found LR3 does a better job than LR4 at processing the images.
Is there a way I can tweak or download corrected ACR settings to match my Nikon D7000.

I have figured out myself the profile correction problem for my Nikon D7000 NEF Problem. It almost match to the one in NX2 or even on camera LCD. the following is what I have adjusted in my LR4
Brightness +1.00
Contrasts +28~33
Shadow +40~55
Black -25
Don't Forget change the Profile setting on Camera Calibration under the Develop mode to match the what you set on your camera. I always shot on Standard mode, therefore I set the Profile to Camera Standard.
The following is the way I figure it out.
1. I imported the photo under "Zeroed" at Import page under Develop setting > Lightroom Genaral Present > Zeroed
2. Open one of the imported picture on Develop mode
3. Scroll down to Camera Calibration change the profile setting to match they one you set on your camera, in this case I choose Camera standard.
4. Under the Camera Calibration>Process you will see 2012(Present), changed it to 2010, and change it back to 2012 (present again)
5. You will notice that the develop setting automaticly change to the following (Brightness -1.00, contrasts -33 and black +25) Let say this is what lightroom did to your picture( from Nikon D7000 NEF)
6. and then Change everything back to " 0 " will you find your picture nearly close to the one you saw on NX2.0 or Nikon LCD
If your found the step above is hard to follow, please just change the Brightness +1.00, Contrasts +33 and Black -25, and dont forget adjust a bit of shadow as well.
for the people who dont know what Nikon done to Nikon D7000, please dont be expert to say "you dont know RAW". please read more reviews first before helping people who are new to RAW or even stuck on RAW. This forum is helping people with our knowledge, is not to make people need help to get more confuse.
For Nikon D7000 user.... Remember turn D-Lightning off.... this is one of the problem will cause LR4 change your tone to more darker, especially on portrait photoshot. Hopefully Adobe will realease the new update soon to match the new system inside Nikon camera.
Please note that the step above only Apply for Nikon D7000 and Lightroom 4 only. And it is not 100% correct to what you seen on your camera, at least is 80~90% Match!!

Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 issue with Nikon D810 files

Just installed ACR 8.6 with D810 support.
A huge amount of moire is introduced when selecting the following profiles: camera standard, camera landscape, camera vivid, and camera monochrome.
All other profiles (adobe standard, camera neutral, camera flat, and camera portrait) seem ok.
The problem exists in Photoshop (via ACR) and in Lightroom 5.6. Please note that Nikon Capture NX-D doesn't have this issue.
Example: Check the upper portion of the following image:

I have experienced the same, although having never owned a camera without the olpf, I did not realize that what I was seeing was moire -- I was calling it "color banding" as if shooting with a low bit rate or very small color gamut.
I think the same issue is referred to in the following post: http://www.dslrbodies.com/accessories/software-for-nikon-dslrs/software-news/acr-86-and-li ghtroom-56.html but he is vague as to just what the "issue" is.
I noticed this issue not only with acr, but on the back of the lcd of the 810 itself. Wondering if I was doing something wrong in terms of settings or if it was a bad copy of the d810, I contacted nikon support. They were not helpful and told me to return the unit for repair. I saw this to a great degree on the lcd, to a small degree even in the raw images processed via Capture NX-D and to some extent via acr 8.6 as you say, when using he following profiles: camera standard, camera landscape, camera vivid, and camera monochrome. Since I was not able to convince myself tat it was not an issue with the camera itself, I returned the d810, so I was not stuck with a problematic unit or having to wait for a repair. Now of course I just have to wait for a replacement unit!!
Again, I am curious as to the extent others are seeing this problem. I am seeing nothing but superlatives posted by others. I am hoping that this is some raw processing issue and a bad lcd screen on my original d810, but it seems too big of a coincidence. If it is a matter of Adobe racing to keep up with the new profiles ok, but if this is the extent that I am going to see moire on a camera of this price then it is not worth the upgrade.
What are others experiencing?

Lightroom 3.6 Camera Raw 6.6 - Issues with NEF files

Hello all,
I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem, I'm a Nikon user and when I view NEF files in Lightroom 3, before the images loads completely it looks like it did on my camera but when the loading phase is done the picture darkens and it changes, sometimes darkens, sometimes changes tones.. What is happening here and is there any way around this with NEF files? I love Lightroom but if I can't work with NEF the way they look on my camera then I'm going to have to make the switch over to Capture NX 2 and I really don't want to.... In addition I have no problems with JPEG files so I know the issue is isolated to NEF files. I'm also on a Mac with 10.6.7 if that makes any difference.. not sure it does though.
Please help!!

This is not just a characteristic of NEF files. Adobe software and other third party software does not read the in camera settings, instead it applies default settings. The initial image you see is probably the stored image that was processed by the camera, but it is replaced by the image rendered using the defaults from Lightroom. The default camera profile is Adobe Standard, which does not match what you get from the camera. Adobe has generated Camera matching profiles for Nikon and Canon cameras and a few others. Go to Camera Calibration and select the same profile you have selected in the camera - it will have a name like Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc. If you have other parameters set to nominal in the camera, this will be a close match to the JPG from the camera. You can set a new default for Lightroom that will use the setting you select and it will use this when any new NEF files are first opened. If you want the NEF file to open identical to the JPG from the camera then Nikon software is the only option. If you were using a Canon, then Canon software would be the only option.

BMD Cinema Camera RAW Files Import Issues

While the playback performance seems strong--there is a marked visual difference in the image than when opening these files in AE or PS--strong green push and muted colors--
Do I have an incorrect setting somewhere?

Yes, here too untouched BMDs seem te have a green cast. Althoug muted colors, to me mean not having the right (or any) LUT applied; just a part of working with RAW; you have full control, just have to create a first light/primary.
(Haven't tested against AE yet.)

Any solution to Camera Red color recognize issue?

As all of us know that Z3 doesnt recognize Red color properly no matter in what mode. It displays red as Pinkish. Has it been fixed in Lollipop?

Could you post examples of the issue?
