Camera Raw/CS4

Is the Camera Raw plug in still available for CS4?

Yes.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
However, CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw from versions 5.0 to 5.7.
Adobe updates Camera Raw for each and every new camera which enters the market since they all have unique and proprietary Raw file formats. So Camera Raw is updated a lot.
If you have a newer camera then it will require a recent version of Camera Raw which won't be compatible with CS4.
Which camera make and model are you using'?

Camera Raw CS4 Canon Rebel T3i update?

Is there an update to Camera Raw (CS4!) for the Canon EOS Rebel T3i?
Or, is there an equivelant method for opening CR2 files in PS CS4?
Can I update to Camera Raw 6.4.1 (which is when it started support for the Canon Rebel T3i) with CS4?

Once a new verson of PS comes out camera raw is not updated, and the old version is not suppported.
Also, you have to stay with the ACR for each version, which is one number higher than the PS version. So for CS4 you have to stay with ACR 5.x
You options are to upgrade to current version so you can use ACR 7.x or download the free current DNG converter. Currently the DNG converter is 7.1 which is the same as ACR 7.1.

Camera Raw CS4 5.2 Update/Panasonic LX5 .RW2 Files Won't Open

Hi, recently purchased a Panasonic LX5 that shoots raw using the .rw2 extension. Tried importing into Camera Raw via Bridge, but couldn't get it to open. Read around and discovered that Raw needs to be manually updated to 5.2 and some profiles need to be installed (which I've done). Went to the Adobe download section and followed the directions for installing on a mac (OS 10.6.8) - when I open up other files it reads Camera Raw 5.2 at the top. However, the Panasonic LX5 files still won't open. Did some more searching and I've read that everything from the "files will open without problem" to "they need to be converted using a .DNG converter." So, I'm confused; am I doing something wrong? Is there an additional step I'm missing to the 5.2 update? Do I just need to download the .DNG converter and use that? Any help is appreciated.
I'm on:
Mac 10.6.8
Running CS4

You should probably update all the way to Camera Raw 5.7, which was the latest update for Photoshop CS4.

Updated Camera Raw CS4 Plugin (no plugin folder??)

I am trying to install the updated SC4 Camera Raw Plugin but I can't find the Plugin folder referred to in the following directions:
5. Navigate to:(Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
6. Copy the existing 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.
7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
What can I do about this? Is there somewhere else I can stick the Plugin so that it works?

What OS? And no, there is no other place to put the Camera Raw plug-in. Note, the Library in this case is the root Library, not the User level Library.

RAW images seem yellowish in Camera RAW/CS4

I'm a newb to photography, so I apologize if this is entry level stuff.
I shoot with a Canon 40D - JPG + RAW - and when I open my RAW images with Camera RAW through Adobe Bridge CS4, it appears that they more more yellow than the JPGs out of the camera. I have noticed this in my prints as well, and it has been bugging me. I'm not sure what would be causing this.
Below I have included links to a test picture - the first image is the JPG out of the camera, and the second image is the RAW image with no adjustments, converted to JPG.
JPG out of camera - http://www.highlandhoops.com/Portals/0/IMG_8223.JPG
JPG converted from RAW (more yellow-ish) - http://www.highlandhoops.com/Portals/0/IMG_8223_A.JPG
Any help would be appeciated! I would love for the RAW images to match the output of the JPGs, so I don't have to worry about fixing that first everytime. If you need more info, please let me know. Thanks

Usually, overall yellow/warm casts can be easily and quickly reduce or
eliminated by bumping the White Balance's Temperature slider down a little
bit (e.g., from 4500 K to 4300 K).

Jim, thanks for your reply. I think this will help me. I also upgraded to
Camera RAW 5.4, and there appear to be some more profile options, such as
Adobe Standard. It looks like this works pretty well. I will have to do some
more testing at a later time with the CR defaults as well.

Camera raw cs4 and sony dsc-rx100

how do i make cs4 camera raw to work with sony's dsc-rx100?

Support for the RX-1 was added in Camera Raw 7.3. But I don't know if your camera was added before that or not. At any rate it wasn't supported in any version for Photoshop CS4. IF support has been added, you will have to use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies of your raw images. Those will open with what you have now. It might be that support for your camera will be added in an upcoming update. If that is the case then you will have to wait until the DNG converter update is released. But I can tell you that your native raw files will never be usable with ACR for Photoshop CS4.

Real World Camera Raw CS4 File Access

Hi,
I recently purchased a copy of Jeff Schewe's Camera Raw book for CS4. One reason among many that I purchased the book was to work through the example files in the book that are available on the website.
For some reason I am having trouble downloading the files. The problem I am experiencing is an access problem. When asked for the user name and password I can get to the page where the downloadable files are located. But once there, when I go to download individual files it keeps aksing me for the login information and even though I am providing the same login information, it denies me access.
I left two emails for the website sponsor but received no reply. Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know the solution to getting passed this obstace?
Thanks,
John Arnold

The download column has *two* links for all but two of the image items. There is a graphic with DNG, that appears for each item, and under the graphics are descriptive texts such as "19.14 MB zipped DNG file." I've found that clicking on the text, not the graphic above the text, will work. Sometimes I still get the login panel. I click Cancel to the login panel and am able to continue with the dialog.
Net: Click on the text in the download column, not the DNG graphic.
The graphic and text links for action downloads are the same, as are the first image download (_MG_4472) and VB7J979.

Confused over saving files in Bridge or Camera Raw CS4

I'm a little confused the way Bridge and Camera Raw saves files that have been adjusted. For example, when I took a photo and just applied a crop to it, I clicked on "save image" in camera raw, set up a new folder and new file name. I clicked on ok expecting to see the uncropped photo in the original source folder. What I saw was the cropped photo under the original file name.
Ultimately I found the original file by looking through explorer. I guess my question is, Is there a tutorial that explains the way Bridge/Camera Raw saves files?
Appreciate the help

The changes applied by Camera Raw are saved as metadata, a few lines of code added to the file or to a separate XML file. If you want to save the changes done by Camera Raw then simply click on Done, the Save button will save a copy, not the current changes back onto the original file.

Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have:
Photoshop CS4
Camera Raw CS4
Canon 5D Mark ii
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update ) this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
To the point.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
Them " Preferences "
then "General "
Then " Plus-Ins"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
Hope this works for you as well.

Why should I use camera raw in bridge

I have CS4 and would like to know do I need a special camera to get raw in to bridge and when there what is different in bridge to using Photoshop?

You will need a camera that can produce Raw files (see the manual from your camera for that) and you will also have the proper Camera Raw plugin for the type of camera you are using. In short, when having updated CS4 and not owning a brand new type of Camera that is just released you should be able to use those Raw files in CS4.
ACR can be used in both Bridge and PS, they are the same but have a small difference in active save options (Bridge by default 'Done' and PS by default 'Open Images'). Best part if this that you can use both processors simultaneously. so when having multiple files processing in one you can start with settings on the other :-)
There is a whole lot more to learn about Raw, there are some good white papers, video tutorials and a very good and easy to read book (Real World Camera Raw CS4, Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe).

Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Adobe Bridge (CS4) and Camera Raw 5.4

I use a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and store in RAW-format.
The camera is updated with latest software etc.
I have the Adobe Design CS4 package on my computer and updated to the camera raw 5.4 version (bridge/photoshop/etc).
All this is updated to last versions / updates etc.
I upload my pictures from the camera to my computer.
When I inspect the files with the Canon software such as "Digital Photo Professional 3.6.1.0" or "Canon Utilities ZoomBrowser EX 6.3.1" (this are the latest versions and updates) the files are copied correct to my computer.
The files can be opened with the canon software without any problem and can be modified and converted and all normal operations can be performed.
The files can also be converted to ".jpg" and no problem occurs.
The problem starts after the folder with the pictures (in RAW-format) has been opened / viewed in Adobe Bridge or after Adobe bridge is started.
After starting and viewing with bridge the folder only some of the file become corrupted and cannot be used anymore.So the majority of the files remain OK but some files become corrupt.
A part of the picture is visible partly, the remaining part are lines, dots, squares etc and the divisions of correct picture and corrupted seems to be at random. There is no structure in the way the corrupted file are shown in bridge. Please look at the enclosed picture in this message.
The files can be opened in Camera Raw and Photoshop but they show the corrupted file and can be stored etc.
But the picture is destroyed.
Does anybody have a sollution or similar problems?
Best regards

There are forums for Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop.
Any of them would be better than posting here.

Can not open Camera Raw in Bridge CS4, or see thumbnails

MacBook Pro
OS 10.5.5
Photo Shop CS4 version 11
Camera Raw 5.2.0.65
I had another version of Camera Raw from PS3. When I bought the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, I deleted the old camera raw plug in, so as to not conflict with the new camera raw plug in.
When I open PS4, click Photoshop, click about plug in, ONLY one version of Camera Raw comes up.
In OS 10, when I click GO at the top, then applications, then Adobe Photoshop CS4, then Plug Ins, then File Formats, I get two Camera Raw icons: a blue lego like icon that says "Camera Raw.plugin" and another icon that looks like the Macintosh HD icon, but is labeled "CameraProfiles.dmg"
The problem is that I can't open files in Camera Raw when in Bridge CS4, nor can I see the little photo thumbnails either.
Can someone please help?
Desperate in NYC.

The Photoshop folder is NOT the correct location for the Camera Raw plug-in, since several versions of Photoshop.
The correct location, is, as described in the readme and in the FAQ of this very forum [hint]:
Mac: [root of your hard disk, NOT your user folder's library]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS4/File Formats/

Adobe Bridge CS4 Not converting camera raw files right?

I run an HP computer with Windows Vista 64 bit and have CS4. We also have a Canon 40D camera and shoot in camera raw format. When I download the images Bridge converts them into usable images. The last two times I've downloaded images, after converting them, Bridge showed a few of them as either not readable at all or with large chunks of the image whitened out. My husband shoots college football games and takes anywhere from 300 to 600 pictures at each game. October 14th was the first time we had problems, 5 or 6 shots out of 250 were showing up as corrupted. This last weekend there were 15 out of 307 images corrupted. Thinking that the card is going bad or we have a problem with the camera, we purchased a card rescue program Sandisk recommends to see if we could recover any of the images. It shows that all 307 images are on the card and in good condition. But, when I ran the recovered file through Bridge there were 31 images that are showing up as corrupted. I'm beginning to think there might be a problem in the conversion process and that it is getting worse each time it runs. Is this possible and if so, what can I do to correct it?
Thanks for any help,
Linda

Thanks Curt for the quick reply.
After a very stressful afternoon it appears that the card recovery program I downloaded just accesses the thumbnails on the card when it previews them, not the actual images. It would have been nice if they told me that before I forked out the money for it, but.... So although it was telling me they were there, they were not. It wasn't until I viewed the files in Bridge that the corrupt images were showing up. It is also showing more corrupt images than actually are. When I view the card in Bridge I'm still seeing the original corrupt images. We are leaning toward a bad battery grip with our camera. He is going to shoot without it the next time he does a game and see if we still have the problem.
Thanks again for your reply.

How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
Thanks (in advance)!

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.
