Camera RAW dialog box

I'm a novice user of PE4 (Mac version). I've taken some photos with a Nikon D80 in the RAW format for the first time. I've got the Nikon NEF LE Plugin installed and the RAW images display without problems in the PE image window. But there is no accompanying Camera RAW dialog box on screen, just the usual controls. Can anyone advise on how I get this dialog box to appear please?

You will need to download the Adobe camera raw plug-in, since the one that came with PE 4 is too old for the D80. Try version 3.7 (I forget which number added support for the D80). There are two later versions, 4.0 and 4.1, but they require a patch for the mac version of PE 4 and Adobe can't be bothered to actually release the patch.
Download for the raw plug-in is here:

  • Missing Camera Raw Dialog Box in Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows.

    Hello,
    I have Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows. This runs on a 32-bit Windows Vista VirtualBox virtual machine.
    It has been running fine, but suddenly opening raw Nikon images no longer opens the Camera Raw Dialog box, but takes me straight into editing on Photoshop Elements.
    I really like having the Camera Raw Dialog box open as I do most of my image processing using this before opening the resulting file in Elements.
    Does anyone know how to get this box back, or to open it from within Elements?
    I have tried opening the images from within Photoshop Elements using the "Open As..." mnu item from the File menu, and the selecting "Camera Raw" as the image type, but it still opens without the Camera Raw Dialog box.
    Thanks very much.

    Check your screen resolution settings for vista.
    I believe the screen resolution needs to be at least 1024 x 768 for the camera raw dialog to show in pse 8.
    For example, if instead of running VirtualBox full screen, your running it in windowed or seamless mode and made the window smaller by dragging on the corner, that would automatically lessen the screen resolution in vista.

  • When I use the command "Place in photoshop" CC from Bridge CC, it skips the Camera Raw Dialog box

    I am having an issue when I use the "Place in Photoshop" command from within Bridge CC, it is skipping the Camera Raw Dialog box and not behaving like a normal smart object. This has been my workflow for years and suddenly it's not working in CC. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    As far as i can tell, if you use Place>In Photoshop from Bridge with a camera raw file and don't have any other documents open, it skips the camera raw dialog, but does place (open as a smart object)
    and then you can double click on the smart object icon on the thumbnail in the l;ayers panel to open camera raw.
    If you already have a document open then Place>In Photoshop using a camera raw file opens the camera raw dialog before placing the photo.
    Also check the photoshop>Preferences>General and verify you have Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects checked.
    The above behaviour seems to be the same in photoshop cc as past versions of photoshop, at least on the windows versions.

  • Can't find the Camera Raw Dialog Box

    So, I go to one of those great photoshop seminars by Scott Kelby. I've been using elements for a few years. Decided it was most definitely time to upgrade to PS CS4.
    I got it today. I'm pumped. I'm also a bit confused. I am trying to find the camera raw dialog box spoken of in literature and help files. I have a cannon XTi and recently shot some stuff in raw, confirmed the extension of .cr2. I've opened it using bridge and tried various other ways to get the camera raw plug in to activate.
    Best I can tell, it is either fully invisible, I'm a noob, or it isn't displaying something or otherwise working. I read in the help files about "click on the basic tab in the camera raw dialog box,"  and so many other things I'm supposed to be doing in the camera raw dialog box.
    Where in the world is this box? How do I know it is the camera raw dialog box? Is it labeled that? I've spent all evening going through help files, reading materials, and have already learned a lot about PS CS4. But now I'm lost. The world is dark and grey and my life has no meaning. Well, that is what my 15 year old is telling me right now because I took her cell phone away. Enough drama, sry   life with teenagers, Lord help me!
    Seriously, where do find the camera raw dialog box? How do I know a raw file, the canon cr2 format has successfully opened in raw? I only see .psd extensions and nothing looks different to me on the screen from opening a .jpg to opening a .cr2.
    Advise is appreciated.
    Robert

    First of all make sure everything is updated: Photoshop to 11.0.1 and Camera raw to 5.6.
    See: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    Then, if you double-click on a .CR2 file you should get the choice to open. Choose PS CS4.
    The file will then open inside PS with the Camera Raw dialog.
    Normally, if you are previewing in Bridge (which is the usual way) Cmd+R or a right-click on a CR2 file will open the ACR dialog.

  • CS Camera Raw Dialog Box: default setting for 'Tint'

    I have yet another question about Photoshop CS (not CS1,2,3 or 4)  that I cannot find answered in any book or online article that I have consulted. Because CS will not handle Camera Raw files from my camera (Nikon D50), what I do is to use an Adobe DNG converter to convert them to .dng format and then open them in Photoshop CS. When the Camera Raw dialog box opens, all the variables under the 'Adjust' tab are set to standard default values (e.g. 0 for Exposure, +5 for Shadows, +25 for Contrast, etc.) — except Tint. Tint very mysteriously varies from image to image, even though they all come from the same camera with the same menu settings and the same memory card and even if I have not previously done any adjusting of those images. For any given image, the Tint value stays the same if I change Settings between Camera Default and Selected Image. But it will be different when I open another image from the same series.
    What I should like to know is, firstly, what it is about a given Camera Raw file that 'tells' Photoshop what value to set Tint to; and, secondly, what the default value should be. Thanks in advance for any information.

  • I'm stuck! Going from LR3 to CS5 I don't get Camera Raw dialog box

    I'm stuck. When I edit pics from LR3 to CS5 the Camera Raw dialog box does not open. Everything is updated.  I can get Camera Raw dialog box to open if I open a photo directly in to CS5.  I have looked at my external editing options.  All seems fine.  Please help.  Thanks!

    I'm not a LR user, but I believe it serves as your raw converter (similarly to ACR), therefore when you edit directly out of LR into CS5 the image is already rendered ready for CS5 usage.  If you start directly in CS5 then ACR is invoked for raw file conversion.

  • How do you Re-Open the Camera Raw Dialog box after closing it?

    Hi All,
    going crazy trying to figure out how to reopen the Camera Raw dialog box after closing it in photoshop. I know I found it once but have since forgetten. Any help would be much appreciated!
    thx!
    Jayson

    When the image is open in ACR hold down the SHIFT key and you'll see the button marked Open Image changes to Open Object, so do your ACR adjustments then hold down shift and click Open Object - your image will open as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
    If using Lightroom you can right click the image and select Edit>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop from the drop-down menu.
    Do not confuse normal smart objects with what we're talking about here, Camera RAW Smart Objects - possibly one of the most powerful tools to have at your dispossal, once you understand them.
    Hope this helps

  • Camera Raw Dialog box not opening automatically

    When I try to open a raw image in photoshop CS3 for some reason the camera raw plugin dialog box is not automatically opening and I get a message that says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" I know I am missing something simple but how do i get the dialog box to open?

    You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
    The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
    What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

    how can i get back my camera raw dialog box?

  • How do I open Camera Raw dialogue box in Elements 11?

    How do I open Camera Raw dialogue box in Elements 11

    What version of mac os x are you using?
    It sounds like you set Enable to Camera Raw instead of setting Format to Camera Raw.
    Where it says Format, set that to All Readable Documents and for the most part you shouldn't have to change that.
    After you click on the jpeg file in the Open Dialog, set the Format to Camera Raw

  • How do you change PS Camera Raw dialog w/ Asian language to English

    I think I was moving too fast using Bridge and accidentally changed a setting.
    I opened a jpeg in Camera Raw within Bridge, made some corrections in Bridge Camera Raw, then clicked Done. Later, when I double clicked the corrected image in Bridge so that it would open in PS, the PS Camera Raw dialog opened with an Asian language interface.
    How do you change that back to English?
    To recap: Camera Raw is in English in Bridge, but Camera Raw is in an Asian language when I double click a Bridge-corrected file and open Camera Raw in PS.
    Thanks for any help here!

  • After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialog.

    After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly anymore, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialogue.
    Some pictures have white squares with blue and red diagonal stripes that cover almost the complete picture.
    When opening those files I have the same problem in Camera Raw dailogue and even in Photoshop eventually.
    I tried to open the same same pictures on another computer with the same version of Bridge and Photoshop but the problem remains the same.
    It seems like the files itselves are still ok, because if you open an explorer window the previews of the pictures are all ok. And the pictures' sizes remain the same.
    I tried to clear the cache in both programs but it didn't help.
    Has anyone an idea????

    First see if a reboot of your PC helps.  If not,
    Resets may be in order:
    Photoshop: Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
    Bridge:  Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
    Outdated graphics drivers can also cause display problems. Go to your GPU maker's website and be sure you have the latest drivers for your card model.

  • Weird (old) camera raw dialogue box when opening .RAW files

    Hi guys,
    I am getting a strange dialogue box (attached image) when I open my RAW files.
    These RAW files are produced by a Fuji SP-3000 scanner.
    If I scan one negative, two files are produced — a RAW file and a .LI file (image also attached).
    When I punch in some pixels into the dialogue box, the image then opens and is just a blurred mess of pixels (actually, the patterns are kinda cool) but they're not the image I'm after.
    I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this dialogue box and possibly how to solve it and get an actual image.
    One of the main problems I think I have is that I don't actually know the pixel dimensions of the image to begin with, so I am stabbing in the dark when I punch in pixel values.
    Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

    See here, for instance:
    Photoshop Raw format
    Photoshop Raw format
    The Photoshop Raw format is a flexible file format for transferring images between applications and computer platforms. This format supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images with alpha channels, and multichannel and Lab images without alpha channels. Documents saved in the Photoshop Raw format can be of any pixel or file size, but they cannot contain layers.
    The Photoshop Raw format consists of a stream of bytes describing the color information in the image. Each pixel is described in binary format, with 0 representing black and 255 white (for images with 16‑bit channels, the white value is 65535). Photoshop designates the number of channels needed to describe the image, plus any additional channels in the image. You can specify the file extension (Windows), file type (Mac OS), file creator (Mac OS), and header information.
    In Mac OS, the file type is generally a four-character ID that identifies the file—for example, TEXT identifies the file as an ASCII text file. The file creator is also generally a four-character ID. Most Mac OS applications have a unique file creator ID that is registered with the Apple Computer Developer Services group.
    The Header parameter specifies how many bytes of information appear in the file before actual image information begins. This value determines the number of zeroes inserted at the beginning of the file as placeholders. By default, there is no header (header size = 0). You can enter a header when you open the file in Raw format. You can also save the file without a header and then use a file-editing program, such as HEdit (Windows) or Norton Utilities® (Mac OS), to replace the zeroes with header information.
    You can save the image in an interleaved or non-interleaved format. If you choose interleaved, the color values (red, green, and blue, for example) are stored sequentially. Your choice depends on requirements of the application that will open the file.
    Note:  A Photoshop Raw image is not in the same file format as a camera raw image file from a digital camera. A camera raw image file is in a camera-specific proprietary format that is essentially a “digital negative,” with no filtering, white balance adjustments, or other in-camera processing.

  • I don't see the new features of CC within the Camera RAW dialog

    Using Adobe Creative Cloud, I Updated Bridge Cc and Photoshop CC. Now when I access Camera Raw, Camera appears as 8.0  without the new features in the Cc version.

    Updating Bridge and Photoshop isn't also updating ACR. You should be seeing the ACR 8.4 update in your CC app. If not, you can download the actual installer for Photoshop CC (not CS6 mind you):
    ACR 8.4 for Mac
    ACR 8.4 for Windows
