What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

Camera raw defaults

Hi, I have been trying things out in camera raw in cs5.5 extended and I cant work out how to reset the default settings. Every time I open an image in raw everything is obviously wrong. Can anyone please help?

Welcome to the forum!
According to a handy excerpt from the book Camera Raw Controls, the "Default control" (circled in red in the image below) "provides a simple way to return to the Camera Raw Default settings in the Basic panel based on your current Default settings (which can be changed)."
And here's a great introductory video on the version of Camera Raw that shipped with Photoshop CS5:

LR 5.5 - Camera RAW Cache settings reset non-stop

Lightroom doesn’t remember the folder path in Camera RAW Cache Settings section in File Handling tab in Preferences window. I want to set my own folder Camera Raw Cache and its maximum size but every time Lightroom sets default path (C:/Users/Name/AppData/Local/Adobe/CameraRaw/Cache/) and also maximum size as 1GB. When I set all the parameters Camera RAW Cache and click OK or switch between the tabs in Lightroom preferences window or restart Lightroom and I return to the File Handling tab all the data is reset to default. The same happens when I want to change the parameters Camera RAW Cache from Adobe Bridge and Photoshop.
Second question:
When I use DNG file format with Embed Fast Load Data option in the folder Camera RAW Cache the “DAT” files doesn’t appear. Is it connected with the use of Embed Fast Load Data option? When I use the original NEF files from my Nikon “DAT” files appear.
[Win 7 64-bit, LR 5.5, Web&Design CS6]

I have no trouble placing my Camera Raw cache where I want to put it. Perhaps deleting your Preferences file would help with that problem.
Yes, if you embed fast-load data in your DNGs, LR will use that instead of the CR Cache.

PS CS6 / Bridge / ACR 8.5 - Camera RAW Cache settings reset non-stop

Adobe Bridge/Photoshop doesn’t remember the folder path in Camera RAW Cache Settings in Camera RAW Preferences window. Every time when I want to set my own folder Camera Raw Cache and its maximum size, I click OK and return to Camera RAW Preferences, I see default path (C:/Users/Name/AppData/Local/Adobe/CameraRaw/Cache/) and maximum size as 1GB.
[Win 7 64-bit, LR 5.5, Web&Design CS6]

Problem is solved!
I delete folder "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\". Then I start Lightroom and I pick my own folder in Camera Raw Cache Settings, set 20GB size and click OK. Now everything works fine. Bridge and PS also fine.

Why can't I save camera raw defaults?

I am currently unable to reset my camera raw defaults in CS5 (Camera raw 6.5). When I click on "Save Camera Raw Defaults", the changes do not show up when I open up a new image using Adobe Bridge. I seem to be stuck with the changes I made some time ago. What could be happening?

Camera Raw uses the same settings you used last time to open a file. That's just the way it works. The defaults you set will be used on any image you haven't opened before.
In order to revert an image that's been opened before to the new defaults, you need to do one of the following:
1. Choose Camera Raw Defaults from the menu:
2. Depending on how you have configured Camera Raw to remember your past settings, either delete the sidecar XMP files or go into Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw... and purge your Camera Raw cache if you'd like to throw away all previous settings and have future opens use your new defaults.

How do I copy Camera RAW defaults to another computer?

I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera RAW to process RAW files (D700). I have ACR preferences set to make the defaults ASA specific, which means I have 41 defaults for ACR. I have a folder of images shot with the D700 that includes one image for each ASA the camera can select when auto ASA is activated in the D700, that's where I get 41 ASA values. I use the images in this folder to set a default for each ASA value and then select one at a time in Camera RAW and click to set a new default for ACR (Adobe Camera RAW). These defaults are saved in some location on the computer, but I don't know where. I would like to copy these saved defaults to another computer that is also running Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know where the defaults are located, or is there a better way to accomplish this task?

If I understand what you said, I think this will only save RAW Defaults for that specific image conditions. I have the RAW converter set to make it specific to image ASA and for the D700 it can set 41 different ASA values for the image. I have 41 Camera RAW Defaults for the D700 and would like to transfer all to the second computer, that's the reason I am looking for options to accomplish this task.
I have a folder with 41 D700 NEF files with each having a different ASA value. I select this folder of images in Camera RAW, adjust each image to the defaults I want - the main difference is noise settings. When I have the settings I want, I click the Done button. I then open the images again in Camera RAW, select one at a time and select the "Save New Camera Raw Defaults". Now when I open new NEF files for the D700 it will automatically apply the Default I want based on the image ASA.
I currently copy the folder with the 41 images that was saved with the defaults I want and open them one at a time and save a new default on the second computer. If I copy the "Camera RAW" folder it should give me all the same defaults, custom camera profiles, custom curver, settings, etc.
I have not tried this yet, but if it works it will save a lot of time keeping the two computers in sync relative to these parameters.

Camera Raw Workflow Settings - where?

Hi!
In Bruce Fraser's and Jeff Schewe's "Camera Raw with .. CS3", p 134, a dialogue box Workflow Options is shown. Likewise, Photoshop CS3 Help > Camera Raw > CR Settings > CR Workflow Options promises "You can see and change these Workflow settings at the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog box."
I wonder which dialog box the text is referring to. I can not see the Workflow dialog box at the bottom of the dialog box shown in Bridge > Camera Raw Preferences, nor in Bridge > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings.
All the entrances on the Adobe site only lead me to the same PS Help document.
It would indeed be useful to be able to specify e.g the bit depth as a default, because the PS default seems to be 8 bit (PS > Image > Mode), so I have to remember to set it to 16 for every single image anew.
I use Mac 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro, 2GHz processor, 2GB RAM , PS CS3, ACR 4.5
Thanks for help! Hening.

>Well, the save button is alongside the hyperlink (to it's left) and that opens a fresh panel to allow various options to be set, so I find the explanation advanced by the ACR Team bit hard to understand.
You running a display at 1024 x 768? Because that's Camera Raw's real estate minimum that HAS to be supported...so what you can do in a dialog whose display ends up at a much higher resolution is severely limited because of the minimum requirements. That's why...

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.

Camera raw default does not remove crop

In bridge, when I go to edit>develop settings>camera raw defaults, the crop is not removed to get me back to default. How do we rectify this? That makes me open any cropped raw in raw dialogue and manually remove the crop. No good.
bridge forum sent me here to query.

Difference between 'Camera Raw Defaults' option and Default button

I am using ACR 4.6 under CS3 in Windows.
If I open an image and click the Default button above the exposure sliders, all the tonal settings are reset to the defaults, but Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation are not altered.
If I select 'Camera Raw Defaults' from the menu the tonal settings are reset to the defaults as above, but Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation are also reset to 0.
I was under the impression that the Default button and the 'Camera Raw Defaults' option did the same thing, but apparently not. What is the difference?

The default button you are talking about only affects the sliders in the same group with the button.

HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR, as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow they are all going back to the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to yesterday, when this first started.
I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Robert,
Would you be so kind to rephrase your question with concise, precise information and without any "let's say that" hypotheticals? Sorry, I can't quite follow you.
Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
Thanks.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Camera Raw Defaults & Presets not showing menus (BRIDGE)

Hi There
I just upgraded to a new version of PS CS3 & Bridge and the option to apply Presets, or to Apply Camera Raw Defaults is not showing when I right click a file in Bridge. It also doesnt show up in the menu. I need to be able to Batch process hundreds of photos at a time and then convert them to Tif formats. I used to be able to do this by applying my Adobe Camera Defaults to many images at once. How do I do this now????
I am running Bridge 2.0.0975 and PS 10. Help!! This is critical for me!!!
thanks so much!

> Even if old versions are available for download, having older versions available on disk in case of malfunction is a perfectly acceptable practice.
> This applies to any update of any software.
Agreed. I have gigabytes of disk space packed full of iso's, dmgs, and zips for
(almost) all of the software I've installed on my computers. It's a pain to
manage sometimes, but I know I can go back and reinstall PS7 (for instance) if I
need to even though I have no clue where the CD is at. It's just one part of my
configuration management and backup strategy. I don't have a sysadmin to take
care of this kind of thing for me any more, unfortunately, so I have to do it
myself.
This plan also has the advantage that I don't have to be online to download
older versions from a vendors site (if it's even available) or go searching for
a seeded torrent (if it's not).
I'm not saying this approach is good for every one or even good for anyone but
me, but it is a perfectly valid way of doing things.

CRSS : Camera Raw Saved Settings - documentation ??

Hello,
I generated a DNG from Lightroom, and I get a XML tree using a crss (Camera Raw Saved Settings) schema.
Where could I get about this ?? I didn't find aything with Google.
Thanks.

I guess the meaning of "open standard" is, that it is open to anyone to write the documentation.
Well, considering that "Camera Raw Saved Settings" are not specifically a function of DNG I think that comment is inaccurate and unfair. XMP allows new and custom name spaces and fields as part of the XMP specification (which is not directly tied to the DNG spec). The fact that Adobe has chosen to extend (XMP = EXtensible Metadata Platform) the XMP fields to include CRSS (Camera Raw/Lightroom "Snapshots") is more a proof oc concept of the usefulness of XMP metadata and less am indictment of DNG's "openess".
Snapshots in ACR/LR are proprietary and thus are prolly intentionally "undocumented", don't ya think?
If you want to see what _IS_ stored in DNG/XMP, the "crs schema" should be able to enlighten you...

Best in Camera Raw Image settings

Not that the camera model matters, but is there any unique in camera RAW image settings that will improve how the RAW file is interpreted by Aperture?
For example, I shoot with a Nikon D200. I can customize how the camera "Optimizes" the RAW image by adjusting:
1. Image Sharpening
2. Tone Compensation
3. Color Mode
4. Saturation
5. Hue
Does Aperture recognize any of these adjustments or does it just look at the actual RAW data and compensate just for what it thinks the white balance should be?

You don't need to do anything "in camera." Most (if not all) of those settings are ignored by Aperture, because they don't really apply to the RAW files (they are processing settings, and RAW files are effectively "negatives.").
So color space, sharpening, saturation, etc... doesn't matter what they're set to.
Of course, color space affects how the images are named on camera... the Adobe RGB spec mandates an underscore as first character, e.g. MG1005.jpg versis IMG_1005.jpg.
