Camera RAW functionality in Photoshop and Elements

I am a Photoshop Elements user (6/Windows) and I was wondering if the Camera RAW plugin had different functionality under Photoshop when compared to Photoshop Elements. In several places over the net I have read references to fixing lens chromatic aberration in Camera RAW, however, I cannot see anything like that when I use ACR with Elements.
So - what am I missing ?
Thanks
Tomas

Jonathan, Jim, Thanks for your input.
>"calibration" panel is missing
FYI Jim the calibration panel is included in PSE 6 once you install ACR 5.1. This is an example of why I asked the question - it's very hard to know what is in and out of the feature list.
>I suppose for the person who identifies themselves as an amateur or as a casual user, Photoshop Elements/ACR probably appears as a reasonable compromise of features.
That is the theory I'm working with. As a hobbyist I'd love to have the full Photoshop but its hard to justify the price.
>I sympathize with your problems. Naturally, it's in the interest of every customer to find maximum functionality at minimum cost; unfortunately, it's in Adobe's interest to make us pay for every drop of useful functionality. ... I'm willing to pay for the functionality that I find useful;
I'm in the same boat. I've paid for PSE upgrades a number of times because I've found the added features useful each time. This year I swapped to LR2 and am extremely happy I made the move, but there are still times when you need a "destructive" editor. This whole line of inquiry is to see if it is worth upgrading my "destructive" editor as well.
From my perspective Adobe have gotten their product/feature mix slightly wrong. As a hobbyist it is hard to justify the additional $1000 (or more) to upgrade from PSE to CS4 as my "destructive" editor. But there are a number of features missing from PSE that it is reasonable for a hobbyist to expect or need. Somehow I don't think this imbalance will ever be resolved to my satisfaction.
Interesting debate!
Thanks,
Matt

Trouble with Adobe Camera Raw, Nikon D750, Photoshop CC 2014

I have Photoshop CC 2014 running on an HP ZBook 15 with Windows 7 Professional. I recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.311. I did not install the DNG converter. I shoot raw in my Nikon D750. I download the NEF images to my HP laptop using a memory card reader. I installed Bridge from Creative Cloud. When I check in Photoshop CC 2014, it says the Camera Raw 8.7.1.311 plug-in is present. But if I try to open a NEF image, it fails and says it is an unsupported file type. When I go into Bridge, the "Open using Camera Raw" option is faded and cannot be selected. So what do I do? TIA, Rob

Success! My problem was I had the old version of the Nikon software on my computer and I had used that to download the photos. I copied the NEF files directly from my memory card reader and then could open them no problem in Photoshop CC 2014. Many thanks to gener7 and all who made suggestions.

Camera raw plugin for photoshop 5.5 (windows) not updating

Hi, I'm trying to update the camera raw plugin (min 8.2) in photoshop 5.5 for windows. I downloaded, ran, installed camera raw plugin 8.6 and rebooted. The installation wizard shows as installed but when I open photoshop it still has camera raw 6.7.0.339. Please help!! (The dng converter works but the camera raw plugin has not been updated)

That may be because the latest version of ACR that works with CS5 is ACR 6.7
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
You can install ACR 8.7.1 in CS6 to get new Camera support without ACR new features

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Adobe Camera Raw VS. Photoshop?

When should you use Camera Raw for white balancing and other image adjustments vs. Photoshop. Besides working with raw camera format images, are there things that ACR does better than PS?
Thanks.

I am of a mind with D Fosse on this one. Make it look right initially in ACR then make it right in Photoshop.
You might find there are those who seem adamant about doing virtually EVERYTHING in Camera Raw, but that seems flawed to me, because it virtually ignores the power of Photoshop proper - and make no mistake, there's real power there.
You should know that I experimented quite heavily for days to determine what all the sliders do and to finally choose a set of ACR defaults I can live with as a starting point - knowing that even with that set of defaults I'll be adjusting sliders in the ACR dialog for individual images.
Note that the 2010 process in ACR does not embody as much noise reduction by default as the previous 2003 process did. Don't be surprised if you end up dialing-in quite a bit more of it in the converter than you thought you might. And it's not simple; the results don't depend on just one slider, but a combination of several noise reduction and detail sliders. Tricky stuff to say the least, but it is conquerable.
I don't think there's any shortcut for experimenting then looking critically at the results. I found experimentation when I was getting close to the settings I wanted that went all the way through to creation of my various needed results (e.g., web images and prints) was helpful. In other words, when you have things where you think you like them, actually TRY making whatever products you like from your raw files - including making the color and exposure corrections you would normally do, sharpening, etc., and actually making prints or whatever. Then you'll know what to expect when you're on the hot seat to produce.

Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7

Is it still possible to purchase the Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7?
If so, can the plugin read *.raw files from an Olympus C-8080?

HI mattscreative,
Yes I've installed that but that imports .orf files and my camera saves .raw files.
Thanks,
Mike

Old version of Camera Raw toolbar in photoshop cc

Hello Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem that's been driving me nuts for a couple of weeks now.
I have the very latest version of Photoshop CC - when I bring up Camera Raw in Photoshop (Filter-Camera Raw Filter), the toolbar at the top displays the older version of the tools available (screen shot below) - the newer version with the current tools doesn't appear. I've tried deleting and re-installing Photoshop CC numerous times now, tried numerous web searches and a search on this forum to no avail. I did have Photoshop 6 previously installed for a short while last year before I moved to CC, but I have uninstalled that already. Im on a mac using latest version of Mavericks. Curiously I can get the new version of Camera Raw if I use Bridge, but as I don't use Bridge for anything else this is not really a solution.
If anyone can help me out I will be really grateful!
Best wishes,
David

Hello folks...many thanks for your very quick replies, it's greatly appreciated. I'm sorry that I've taken longer than I would like to thank you all, work got in the way and this is the first chance I had to reply.
So yes, my original question was borne out of my own ignorance. I'm still learning about Photoshop and Bridge and thanks to the great tutorials on Kelby One I've come a long way. But not far enough it seems! After reading all your replies I finally realised that I was making a fundamental error, and wrongly assumed that the Camera Raw filter in Photoshop CC would give me the same toolbar as the CR plugin available in Bridge. Part of this was due to the fact that I don't currently use Bridge in my workflow - my images go into Aperture (for organisation and until recently minor raw adjustments) and from there I then pop into Photoshop, missing out Bridge altogether from my workflow. With all the tutorials I ve been watching on Kelby One, I've been slowly weening myself of Aperture and getting a much better handle on the intricacies of Photoshop for my editing and this also partly explains why I was getting confused.
Thanks again to everyone who replied and getting me back on the right track. It's all one big goddam learning curve - I hope to get there one day!
Best wishes,
David

Camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64

I don't have a Camera Raw option in Photoshop CS5. Where do I get the correct plug in??

I have been trying to download plugins for the Camera Raw option for Photoshop CS5. It is not working....I get a message that 6.4 is not found and 6.5 not compatible. Where can I get the correct download for Windows 7? I am very frustrated.
Thank you!

Here is he download page. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
For CS5 you can download 6.7 Do not need the prior ones as they are cumulative.

Which version of mac os x do you have?
Which version of photoshop are you using?
Do you get any message when you try to open the files into photoshop?
Did you use Nikon Transfer to get the files from your camera to computer?
Did you try the File>Get Photos From Camera in Adobe Bridge?

My photoshop and elements wont open! help!

So, my photoshop and elements have always worked fine, I am running elements 4 and photoshop 6 but now all of a sudden neither will open. I get the opening cicley thing then nothing...have no idea what is going on....anyone any ideas?? I really need both programmes so any advice is greatfully received! x

Hi Alec, Thanks for your super speedy reply! As far as I remember, this laptop came with most programmes already installed on it so I dont think I have any load up CDs or anything. Im guessing I would have to have a installation CD to reinstall later? If I did have them, there is a strong possibility that I have lost them....is there anything else I can do??
Many Thanks d

Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.

I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:
