Camera Raw Filter & Actions

Not sure if this is correct section so bear with me if I am in the worng place.  I am using Win7 64 bit CS6 perpetual.
I have installed Dr. Browns Script for "Edit layer in ACR" which I have included in an action.  So far so good.
The action will take the layer and open it up in ACR without issue.  What I cannot get the action to do is to record the changes I make in ACR such as saturation 100% etc.
While this is not a major issue for individual images, it does mean that the action cannot be left unattended for automatic processing.
Is there anyway I can get the action to record these changes?  I am not a "scripter" so probably need a fairly simple solution!!
I know that Doc Brown says he will not be able to give any more help on his scripts - certainly this feature now seems to be part of the CC version.
Thanks for any help.

As I see it getting the settings is only half the battle to have an action that would playback an ACR edit. I think it would be possible to know what changes were made during the edit. It would take some work. However I don't see a way to have the action playback those edits in ACR.
All the 'Edit in ACR' does is converts a normal layer to a smart object. Edits the contents to save as a temp tiff file, then replaces the SO contents with that tiff. Once a layer is a smart object and the contents is a format that supports editing in ACR. The ACR dialog is invoked in that script the same way you would open any smart object with the line
executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerReplaceContents" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
That executeAction returns an empty descriptor so you can't get the setting from there.
Same with the executeAction to edit a smart object
executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerEditContents" ), new ActionDescriptor(), DialogModes.NO );
I don't see a way to create an descriptor to supply the ACR settings and it also returns a empty descriptor.
Unless you know of a way to script the ACR dialog.
I think there are several ways to automate ACR edits. But   not with Smart Objects.

  • Photoshop CC Quits After Running Camera Raw Filter

    During the past week, Photoshop keeps quitting after I have used the Camera RAW Filter and then pressed OK.
    Anyone else experienced this.

    I have not, but I guess the generic advice may apply …
    Boilerplate-text:
    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Camera Raw Filter is not working correctly in Photoshop CC when applied to video layer

    With Photoshop CC, when editing a video and adding a "Camera Raw Filter" to some video layer, the effect will be applied only to one frame and not to the whole video layer.
    Should it not add that filter to the whole layer (e.g. all frames in that clip)?

    Either it's a bug or a limitation. Haven't yet tried this, so I can't tell you whether it works as it should or is acting up... I would however assume that within what one can expect it works as designed - ACR doesn't have a built-in timeline, so there would be nothing for the PS routines to request retrieval of frames from withing the SO.

  • Filter-Camera Raw Filter not found

    I was looking at the Video Tutorials on Creative Cloud, and In The Tutorial shows a camera raw filter inside Filter Tab. I have purchased the CC version, But at this point it is  still CS6.
    Do I have to wait until June 14th so my Photoshop gets upgrade to CC ?
    Is that the reason I don't see the Camera Raw Filter inside the Filter Tab ?
    I did go to the CS6 Bridge and I opened a picture with the camera raw, and it shows Camera Raw 8.1
    Thanks

    Yes, the camera raw filter is available in the next version. So you need to wait a bit.

  • Picture appears white (cannot see the image) when using camera raw filter in photoshop cc

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop CC on my macbook.  I am running into an issue when editing an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter.  If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens up but all I see is white - the picture is not showing within the camera raw interface.  This happens whenever I am working on a layer and apply the camera raw filter.  The only time it works is when I do not have any layers but only the image as it comes directly from within camera raw - then it works fine.  I'm guessing there is something really basic I am missing but it is maddening!

    You are welcome.
    The Camera RAW filter will not work on an adjustment layer alone. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert to a smart object to apply the Camera RAW filter to the image with the adjustment layer applied.

  • Where can I find the Camera Raw Filter in CS6?

    I would like to know where I can find the camera raw filter in Photoshop CS6 Student Version? I used the PS CC testversion and really liked working with this filter and miss it now. Can anyone help me?

    The Camera Raw filter isn't in Photoshop CS6. That is one of the new features that has been added to Photoshop CC. Photoshop CS6 is not going to have any enhancements added to it. The development cycle is finished for CS6.

  • PS CC: Camera Raw filter gives "cannot parse your files" error

    Hi
    I can open files fine in Photoshop CC, but if I try to use the Camera Raw filter, I get the "file format module cannot parse your files" error. This only happens with larger TIFFs, say 300 MB or so - 70 MB files work fine. I have a fast machine running Windows 7 with 12GB of RAM, so I would expect to have enough space, but maybe it isn't configured properly in PS preferences?
    Thanks for any help,

    300MB Tiff seems like a large files size for a Tiff which leads me to believe its a layered Tiff.  ACR does not have Layers support try opening the Tiff file in Photoshop not through ACR to see it there are layers. If there are target  all of them and convert to a smart Object then try ACR as a filter. A smart object is a single layer in Photoshop.

  • Camera raw filter 8.x artifacts (not posterization, not banding) when using noise reduction

    hi. i use camera raw filter for frequency separation, using noise reduction. And these strange lines keep appearing and messing everything up.
    What is this and how do i get rid of them. Maybe it's a bug of some sort? It looks like ACR is breaking the image to pieces and working with them individually and combining them back.
    If the sliders are not 100-0-0, the lines reduces, but is still there

    I am seeing the same thing in a random test image someone else posted of buildings at night.  The discontinuity becomes more apparent if you maximize the sharpening but it is not there in the saved result so appears to be the difference between rendering for the display and rendering for output:
    The output TIF does not have it:

  • I have Camera Raw 8.7.1 and I don't have camera raw filter and the radial filter tool

    I have Camera Raw 8.7.1 and I don't have camera raw filter or the radial filter tool.  Reading on line says it should be available?  I am confused... why do I not have these tools?

    Because you’re using CS6 not CC.

  • In the camera raw filter I do not have the radial gradient filter

    Using Windows, the camera raw filter version is 8.4.0.199.  There is no radial gradient filter icon, nor radial filter.  The gradient filter available will not convert to the radial filter.  Why?

    CS6 is not CC, not by a long shot.
    CS6 is Photoshop 13.x, while CC is Photoshop 14.x.  They're one major release apart.
    If you're seeing it as a true Filter, then you're looking at Photoshop 14.x, aka Photoshop CC.
